I don't like math because I have terrible logic....
I do not care to use a formulaic method to figure out the total and marginal utility of the things I buy. No, AP Microeconomics, I rather not.

Though there have been no actual recordings of you, it is in the thick of all those novels that I’ve found your voice in.
And I thank you for this.
RIP J.D. Salinger
Rendered
I do not like rollercoasters. They bring out the extremity of fear I do not find entertaining. Yet, having been on mildly aggressive ones, I have discovered a trait I have developed: the ability to remain silent in turbulence.
101 on Romance
Rule 1: When on a date, don’t allow a third party to join you.
Rule 2: In midst of a conversation, don’t accept a third party invite regardless of who. (Doing so will automatically revoke you of brownie points).
Rule 3: One way to impress a girl: opening the door. Question: Does anyone still do that?
WAY TO KNOW THE DATE’S EXPECTATIONS HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFULLY...

Wanting to be more grown up without taking the responsbilities of an adult=what I should aspire to. I will now find me a scapegoat.
If only the expression of sexuality didn’t end in blushing, the necessity of control: where and when and how, wouldn’t matter. You’d just go at it.
Try Again Next Time
Fallen to the routine of quick kisses, she did not know how to act accordingly with the surrounding area of the “goodbye kiss”. Her desired tamed and questioned with doubt as to how to execute it, her habit went after her, missing what she thought would be her break from routine.
Tonight was D.A.T.E.N.I.G.H.T!
But I played with my scarf most of the time.

Is “tact” a quality that you can turn off and on, as if by a switch? This is not a rhetorical question. I’m curious to know whether most people, particularly journalists, can choose whether or not to be tactful at a given moment.
Since my default mode is tact, it takes special self-control or (paradoxically!) alcohol in order to be tactless. This means a few things. One, that I’m...
Preoccupied with the movie Clueless led to my failure to prioritize.
Thank You for Not Honking
For those who had to deal with my driving tonight:
Thank you for not honking when I sped involuntarily, or scared you when I slowed down too fast, and especially when I didn’t turn right on a red light even though you can when there aren’t any cars coming. You made driving a lot less scary and my temperment a lot less anxious, even when driving in the dark.
My concentration only extends for my self interests. The skill I lack in advanced math, it is because I do not see myself in need of it.
Her pretty words couldn’t cover enough assurance, and his was only half truths.
Reflecting over this week’s rubble:
-Over-educated unemployed people.
-MC=MB=what everyone should aspire to.
-The limited ways you can fashion short hair attractively.
-Learning the choice of superlatives that make you 1) enviously agree on and 2) question the importance of this 5 yrs. from now.
-How much college really cost
-Learning the necessary actions to heal wounded...
It has been learned that the length of one’s hair correlates with one’s strength.
Chosing to have mine cut, I often wondered over this notion that literature and dream decoders provided.
Nevertheless, I will start a quest to disprove this in society through human experiment: me and how I live my life with great strides of honor and courage that is gilded with the light of the gods.

We feed from different tastes.
I desire the scent of nutmeg as it is the scent described for books; so I act accordingly and feast.
Pistilli Roman, trickling over my chapped lips.
But you…I do not know how to pronounce. Seeing these words you favor, I have never come across in my books.
The Consequence of Being Content
Their relationship was not tragic nor wholesome. Yet, they could go by without speaking for a number of days—record length that had observers question the strength of their unity. Whether it was a cause of banality or lack of fervour, it was one worth discussing.
Familiarity
Grown accustomed to the laconic disposition of their greetings, she felt weary, exhausting over the following topics of conversation: the weather, pseudo-science, and the upset of adultery that played in the book she was reading. To all, he simply replied: “Oh, that’s interesting” or one of the “hmm”s and “huh”s of listener noise, followed by a...
