Can you not go one minute
without making
me hate you
and hate myself.

Can I not be about to tell
you
something
reallyreally
important
without you
fucking whatever this is we have- this stupid
stupid
fucking relationship- up?

God, I'm so
blaming you now

I can't take it,
it's your turn.

In one of those "down ruts?" I strongly suggest screaming into a pillow. It works well!

red pens

My L.A. teacher would

My L.A. teacher would probably just underline it (he uses blue) and write "language?" next to it, and laugh at me when he handed it back.

yeah.....

Although, she did let me write a story about eternal damnation and hell... it was quite interesting. Some of my more delicate friends were shocked. As were their mothers. But let's not chat too much- I'm in enough trouble with gg as it is.
