You Haul.
Is this what it was supposed to feel like?
No memory from the womb, but maybe this was it. Walking into a new apartment, the fresh wood floors covered in sheets of plastic, a fine layer of dust coating granite counters. A bedroom with no bed. A shower with no curtain. Windows facing towards distant other-lives, and me, my life, waiting to relocate. No memory from the womb, no fresh starts since...

Who Remembers Livejournal? I Do.
Have you checked your Tumblr blog feed today?
Hundreds of writers, heartbroken, incensed.
Topics include shadows, blood, gray and “grey,”
The emo vibe of Livejournal, condensed.
Shit I’ll write sonnets ‘bout being happy,
Butterflies, sliced cucumbers, kittens;
Maybe giggling babies, something sappy,
Or, like, a Pinterest photo of mittens.
Why is everyone so fucking...

On Futons & Death
Here is something I remember: I am eight years old and at my grandparents’ vacation home in Arizona. I lie on a stiff futon that does not meet the curves of my body but rather defies them like an unemotional partner. My hair is crunchy from river water, my skin still smells of sunscreen. I wear my bathing suit, even to bed. The room is dark, and I can barely make out the sliding closet doors in...

Sweet'Then Low
Tells me this:
Speak truth like saccharin
Snorted from
Pinky nail abyss,
Up all night
With sugar high
Rising, melted
Ice surprising
Diet soda bliss.
Love candy,
Love you, darling,
Love the taste
Like
Mindless, drunk kiss.
Tells me this:
Facts and details
Where no calories
Exist.
I eat the fake
He’s getting baked
Something sour amiss —
Unbalanced, Miss Thing,
...
Brief announcement:
From now on, this blog will only be my writing (nonfiction, poetry, random prose).
So if you aren’t into that, probably bail now.
To the rest of you who stick around, thanks for your endless support and readership. It really brightens my day. <3
Xo,
AJ

Fear Of Flying
Face next to mine, there is a closeness that I can only understand through the idea of loss. To be so close, the pendulum must eventually swing back, I think to myself. I wait for the other shoe to drop and contemplate lacing up my own runner’s kicks — quit before I’m fired, or something that could make my vulnerability taste like pudding and go down smooth. But for now,...

mayhemonabookshelf asked: Both! It's completely relevant to the people and situation, don't you think? You can fall in love with someone in a day, then be an item. You could have gotten an arranged marriage and then fell in love (part of the argument for arranged marriage). I feel as if it's completely subjective. Alot of the time, you'll have critics and statistics and research and blah blah blah tell...

Readers, what is your opinion on this?
Is it…
Relationship —> Fall in love
Or…
Fall in love —> Relationship
Thoughts? (Obviously there is no right answer or hard/fast rule but I’m interested to hear what people think.)

Team Nochella
Team Nochella consists of a group of people (myself included) that’d prefer to spend this weekend away from crowds and desert heat while simultaneously enjoying modern day luxuries like indoor plumbing and anonymity.
Saturday and Sunday will consist of blowing all money that would have been spent on Coachella tickets at the nearest mall.

It's not Fitness Friday but...
Pear-shaped girls rejoice!!! I’ve found us a body inspiration!!! (caution: pics slightly NSFW)
[[MORE]]
Though she is now retired, Jaime Koeppe is officially my fitness inspiration.
She was a Canadian fitness model and I guess dabbled in the WWE in the Diva Search? She didn’t start off with these curves, she used to be a bit thinner and less voluptuous. Her core shape though, was...
