Fifteen Minutes of Scrawl

Recently, The Chicks gave a concert in Chicago and I (of course) attended. During the performance, some of the songs struck a c hord with me, but made me want to alter the lyrics to a few. Anyways, here's "You I Knew" . You left as ash Now in photographs With faces like mine Who will I become Without knowing where You started from It's true the lines I drew Let you move alone in your pain So many days passed you by Every friend that you didn't call Everything that you learned in life Every vow that you broke, my heart And I could try to connect All the pieces you left Or I'll bury it all And just forget Will I remember the years When your mind was clear How your laughter and mind Were all of you I knew One urn Two degrees framed In the boxes sit Your favorite things The bottles I blamed Are in cutting shards Of plans you maimed Everything that you learned in life Every vow that you broke, my heart And I could try to connect All the pieces you left Or I'll ...

Time for dates and more Emma-based drama.  Wait, Chloe did tell Emma she's into Brian? I don't remember that, but I think Chloe is probably telling the truth? Chloe is right that Brian could have said no to kissing Emma or even to her straddling him Jamal, you don't seem to enjoy Emma so I'm confused as to how she has a hold on you? Omg Kay is pursuing an MA in some kind of behavioral science...I genuinely hope being on this show is part of her thesis Brian, I mean yeah maybe Emma kissed you to make Jamal jealous, but it also may purely have been because you're hot Jamal, literally what do you want Emma to do? She tried texting you and you ignored her and were mad at her for doing so, so she tries to hit it off with other guys because she's on a literal reality dating show and you get mad? Jamal, yeah Emma kissed Brian, but didn't you and Ericka having an emotionally and physically romantic date and night? Razvan, no offense, but on what authority can you te...

I have gamified watching Survivor with friends. This season, we did a random draw and I (currently) still have my full tribe of Angelica “Jelly” Loblack, Brady Booker, Ori Jean-Charles, and Danny “Kilby” Kilby. I've decided to name my team Holly's Jellicle Beefcakes (and Kilby). But now my friends' fantasy tribes need names! You can see my brainstormed ideas below (with all team members--even those who've left, in the parentheses next to the name): Missing Pants Brigade (An “Thien An” Nguyen, Mike Pinsky, Patt Cannaday, Sharonda Cox) Baseball Medicine Lawyer (An “Thien An” Nguyen, Mike Pinsky, Patt Cannaday, Sharonda Cox) MAPS (An “Thien An” Nguyen, Mike Pinsky, Patt Cannaday, Sharonda Cox) My Little Crisis Farmer Attorney (Alexis Levine, Ana Sani, Kristin Flickinger, Lewis Kelly)* The Balance of Calm and Chaos (Alexis Levine, Ana Sani, Kristin Flickinger, Lewis Kelly) Failed Persian Sisterhood (Alexis Levine, Ana Sani, Kristin Flickinger, Lewis Kelly) Popcorn Liars (A...

Time for reunions and conflicts! Andi, we also have like red light cameras Andi, I DO feel like it should be "our house" at this point Vittorio, you lied Vittorio, this is drastically different than what Jessy was expecting WOW one of the posters in this bedroom says "Be too brave to lie" John, shut up about your sex life So, I am against married couples keeping such things from each other, but, Niles, HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE "SURPRISED" BY STUFF LIKE THIS?! I will also add that while going through the visa process, it's probably important that Niles has Matilda's legal address I feel like Ben could have met Zuri in Paris Aw, Ben is cute for putting together that poster Zuri, I will say that in the two years you've been apart, you could've learned a good deal of French Nigel looks like a randomly generated Sims townie I did get nervous that Nigel's hair was going to catch on fire Ally, I am mostly going to be on your side this season (I ...
