Birches by Robert Frost
When I see birches bend to left and right Across the lines of straighter darker trees, I like to think some boy’s been swinging them. But swinging doesn’t bend them down to stay. Ice-storms do that. Often you must have seen them Loaded with ice a sunny winter morning After a rain. They click upon themselves As the breeze rises, and turn many-colored As the stir cracks and crazes their...

survival
molls:
When you’ve been this girl:
And you’ve already met these girls:
AND you’ve survived?
You get to spend the rest of your life knowing that deep down, you are actually THIS WOMAN:
New Name
I need to come up with a new name for my Tumblr page. I went with “Employee of the Month” originally because it was an ironic title. Jess (I still don’t know how to tag you in my posts) turned me on to it while we were working at a job we both hated. At the time, it was a way to get me through the work day.
I love my new job though and therefore the ironic title no longer...

One more thing...
There is probably a way to make it so that when I say “littlejess” it highlights her name a la Twitter or Facebook. I do not know how to do that though. Normally I would text her from my office to her office to ask her how to do that since she is my Tumblr guru. However, we no longer have offices. Therefore, for now, her name shall go unhighlighted on my page. Such a shame…

Here is the background information needed: My aunt owns a cottage in The Thousand Islands where we go every...

Rick
I have been thinking about my cousin Rick a lot this week. I have had a lot of interaction with him in the past few months. It makes me sad to see what has become of a life that once had so much promise. I used to look up to him and now I have far surpassed him in life and the gap continues to widen. I get angry with people in my family who have let him down, myself included. I get angry at...
Further proof that my brother is awesome
I know that I always talk about how awesome I think my brother is. Now you can see for yourself. Below is a texting conversation that took place at midnight last night:
Me: It is officially your 15th birthday! Happy Birthday! I LOVE YOU!
Mark: LOL TYSM, what’s up?
Me: Nothing! You should be asleep! I wanted to be the first one to wish you a happy birthday but figured you would not get it till...
Because I couldn't have the only thing on my...
This is something I posted in my myspace blog (I know, what’s that? Right?) two years ago. This will give you an idea of where I come from! Enjoy!
Last night a few friends and I were helping my parents move. We took a much needed break for some Tom Wahls. While we were eating, Howie turned to his wife and said, “We need to take the dogs out.”
My father turned to me and went,...
