Oh, Bother
Okay, so, I’m not really a mean girl. In fact, I would consider myself to be fairly decent when the need arises. I talk to people who usually get ignored in big groups, I laugh at other people’s bad jokes, I even tolerate mild stupidity. But lately, in my old age, I seem to have lost all my patience for other human beings (if I had any to begin with). If someone is being...

Finished
It feels very strange to have finished the beginning of something… I think I’ll go write a poem about it.

At The Library
Whenever I reveal to people that I work at a library, I am usually met with varying degrees of sympathy for what must, in their eyes, be a dreadfully boring and low-paying job.
