stopping dropping and rolling before it consumes me (just in time)

drifting off to sleep while sitting here

rambling

standing my ground (in quicksand)

Oooooh.

You gave me chills. Sometimes I wonder if you've been traipsing around in my head because you're so spot on.

I'd pick my favorite part but I can't.

I love it all.

Damn, you know how to spin words till they don't know which way is up.

Hi.

Thank you so much.

Sorry for the brevity. Much to tell you. But it is waaayyy past my bedtime.

How goes it down south?

Jennicula said...

I'll take you on a journey to my favorite places any time you want.

Just pack a bag and off we go.

Solly,

Good God Girlfriend – it was so nice to see you.

I twist, twirl, pet, pull, and chew on my hair. I’ve done it since I was a child. Mostly when I’m lost in thought. I’ve gotten those awful dreadlocks because I was so wrapped up in something I didn’t even notice I was knotting my hair like that. It was worse when my hair was down to the middle of my back.

Now that it’s shoulder length I only get mid-level knots versus code red ones.
