this weekend i went home to rochester, ma for my grandparent’s 50th.
and i must say, it was the most home i’ve felt since christmas. why? because my parents (both of them were there) and we all fell right back into the normal routine.

lonely.
she sat
on the front steps
staring at her fingernails.
the split edges
and the crescents of dirt
caught under the free edge.
dirty.
these were the nails of a child.
the hands of an adult.
the mind
of someone caught in between the two.
soft hum of cicadas
a single porch light
a girl
staring at her fingernails
judging herself

working at pac
at work, as a way to amuse ourselves and make ourselves better greeters, we play a bit of a silly game. the goal is to come up with a greeting that the other person has to say.
such as:
salutations! what’s popping? how’s it shakin’? welcome and howdy-do!
what ones can you think of?

50 things guys don't know about girls
thebluepeninsula:
This is about 500% accurate. Bolding my favorites.
brittaany:
1. Girls hate it when guys say perverted things.
2. Girls like to be told that they’re beautiful, rather than hot, pretty, cute, or sexy. It just gives more meaning.
3. Girls love to feel special, even though they might not show it.
4. Girls talk about EVERYTHING with their girlfriends. So that means, you’re...
