Fifteen Minutes of Scrawl

Time for some family secrets and tensions to be made apparent. Wow Catie is actually showing some interest in the wedding Catie, you do have to help with these things Catie, Josh didn't say that it's your fault that customs called you, he's saying it's your fault that you then didn't communicate that information to him Debby, when has Mido EVER shown interest in you? WAIT. WHAT?! MIDO IS PROPOSING?! Oh dear god. Mido's eyes during this proposal are giving me menacing Also, I would NOT be okay with my partner doing this Mallorie, I think lots of people's ideas of what they'd wear to their wedding changes over the years Mallorie is funny Mallorie does look so pretty Mallorie is talking about not wanting to have kids, yes? I am suspicious of what Ashia really told her family (ah, okay, last minute vacations do seem to be Ashia's norm) I mean, I do think there is a time limit on things for Ashia That said, Ashia and Maxwell shouldn't get married Mari...

Here are some short pieces based on things that have happened in my life recently. Fog It's a foggy morning.  I'm not used to these in the summer--they feel like an autumn creature to me. But that's when I smell it. The opaque air is not an atmospheric mist. It is smoke. Or smog. But no, that distinct scent means that, somewhere, the world is burning. My corner of that world is not burning, but it does have the smoke. And, if my corner does nothing, it too soon shall be aflame. Jump I shivered. A friend once told me that was death jumping over me. And by once, I mean enough times that I remembered it, and now whenever I shiver, I think of her and death passing me by. I wonder where death is galloping off to. I do not wish truly wish death on anyone even though I can acknowledge there are people in this world who do far more harm than good and will continue to draw knives as long as they draw breaths. Yet, I find myself unwilling to direct death to any certain location. Perh...

I saw an online challenge to "ruin a book by adding a word" with the example Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret Thatcher . So I decided to take up the challenge but I also allowed myself to slightly alter one word in the title as well. I started this self-imposed challenge with my "15 book titles destroyed by altering or adding one word" post.

Shekinah...just leave this other couple alone Sarper...do you really think this therapy is going to help you two? OMG they had to blur Guillermo's tongue Also, Russ, have you tried even just starting with using a toy on Pao? I mean, Guillermo's hard line wouldn't be my hard line, but if that's his boundary then that's his boundary I kind of get what this therapist is saying, but I'd say Guillermo should treat Kara more gently than a random person in the world because she's his child's other parent Kara, give Guillermo space No, Kara, Guillermo has the right to establish physical boundaries Why is Sumit cooking? Guillermo brought arepa flour to the resort? Omg this cannibalism discussion between Guillermo and Kara is hilarious, but also a bit disturbing Guillermo, I will say if Kara didn't wipe, there isn't as much of a need... Kara, you ...
