When we talk about faith
my mother is never who I think she is, deep down inside. It scares the living daylights out of me sometimes.
hitstreetsmakebeats asked: Dear Spencer,
I appreciate your responses to my dumb posts, they make me smile.
Also, I found my hairbrush.
I feel like it was cause I listened to the song.
Thank you.
Love, Jane.

Best thing ever. If you want to avoid writing a Mary-Sue (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Sue) into your work of fiction, fill out this quiz, which helpfully determines how Mary-Sue-like your character is.

I just found out...
…that not only does Born This Way come out on February 13th, but the new Pokemon anime premieres the day before, on Saturday.
Best weekend ever? I think so.

Whoa
I feel like I just fell down a rabbit hole of comfort and confusion.
I must say, this Tumblr thing is really good way of venting what’s on my mind, which is suddenly a lot.
Actual time-worthy content coming tomorrow. I swear.
Sometimes someone says something about me
and it doesn’t occur to me until a day later that it should have made me angry.
That just happened to me. Right now.

Arlo Pt. 2
…I was lying on the ground, my left side sitting in the dust. I ached all over. My head hurt. My tongue was drier than my skin.
But pain was just sensory information to the brain. That’s what I told myself, anyway. It had always helped me to try and rationalize unpleasant things into cold, hard facts. Either way, it looked like I had gotten to where I was going.
My house.

Philosophy
I’ve been thinking a lot about philosophy lately. In school, we’re reading a book called Sophie’s World, which is an excellent philosophy textbook—but coyly disguised as a novel about a Norwegian girl and a parallel universe. It’s had me thinking about my own personal philosophy; namely, how much of it is truly mine and not something that I’ve taken from thinkers who...
My life is like a Kelly Clarkson song
except it sucks with you too.
Battle
They collided in technicolor bursts
A cacophonous rush
An explosion
But the battlefield is quiet now.

Put Down the Pen
If I put down the pen,
am I entitled to something else?
If I throw a wrench into my creative processes,
will you guarantee me the work ethic I never had.
If I spirit away my ambitions of art and friendship and love,
can you tell me that everything is going to be okay, for ever and ever?
If I toss my love of music and sounds and sights and places into the trash,
would you let me walk away...

Arlo Pt. 1
Once upon a time, a good friend of mine lent me a story idea she had, with the hope that I could take the concept and spin it into something hopefully even better than the original.
Back in November, for NaNoWriMo, I attempted (quite in vain) to push myself and pound out fifty thousand words or so. I succeeded in writing precisely 2,246 words. [/FAIL]
So, I was thinking about it this week, and...

I sit here.
With you next to me.
Our hands overlap
Legs swinging
Hanging over the edge
From here in the vast openness of
.
Space
.
we can see the galaxies
We can see the stars
Spread out before us in cinemascope
Beneath us
Planet Earth turns slowly
I hum a few bars
And the sound travels…
Not far
But far enough
For you to hear.
.
I sit here. With you next to me.
What a vast space this is.

He Picked Up the Pen

2010
My Nana died today. Dad drove to Wisconsin after he dropped me off at school this morning; he made it just in time, I think, to see her pass away.
I am writing this for a number of reasons. The biggest reason is that when I was with Nana on Monday, as I sat next to her in the cafeteria of her care home, crying, I saw all of the other old women sitting at their...
