humor

"Humor is what binds humans together and makes difficult times just a little less painful; Sometimes you can't help but laugh. "

The Devil You Know
Julian Prythe was not a man to be reckoned with. Or that was how all the rumors went, though I wasn't one to believe the mill of old gossips over in accounting. I was just that girl who worked in the inter-campus delivery for mail and briefs. It seemed as innovatively minded as Prythe claimed to be that he couldn't even get a proper messenger system for the college he oversaw. What, was he a conspiracy theorist who thought all the tech giants were tracking him through his smartphone?

A Girl Can Dream, Right?
It didn’t feel real at all. I just couldn’t believe it was happening. I have no idea how we met, but he was in my phone as “William Cute Boy.” He was texting me about how excited he was about our date that night. I had completely forgotten about our plans, but luckily I hadn’t made any new ones. “Shit,” I thought, “I don’t even remember what this guy looks like!” I texted him, “What should I wear?” and he responded, immediately, “Don’t worry about it.” I frowned looking down at my phone. “What the hell do you mean by that?” I thought.

The Misunderstanding
I can say with a decent amount of certainty that I, like most, have at least a few things in my life that I wish would of happened differently. Not necessarily regrets, more like a sense of wondering how things would of unfolded if a different decision was made or maybe a different time and place was chosen.

Lexie and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Date
The alarm sounds at exactly 6 am in much the way that good alarm clocks do when set by someone with misplaced optimism the night before, unapologetic and nauseatingly cheerful. Lexie groans and gropes blindly in the clock's direction, trying to stop the horrendously happy binging. It’s supposed to be reminiscent of a magical sunrise, but she suspects that sadistic monks wrote this delightful piece of musical torture.

Just a Simple Date
There comes a time when you realize that you’ve spent years looking for something, in the high places and the low, following the big pointing arrows. And in these times of dire delusion, the obvious answer – the truest of them all – eludes us despite our best efforts.

Prelude to a Snowcone
Ten can be a pivotal age. You’re not an adult yet, not even a teen, but the idea that you know best is starting to gel, small little jabs at pressing your luck begin without the benefit of experience or common sense to ward off certain courses of action. Darwin, Murphy’s Law, and just dumb luck are always waiting to do battle. It can make for an interesting time learning about your mortality. If you survive.
