this was March 13

So if my plane crashes, I die of an anxiety attack of food poisoning in Thailand, or just decide to buy a house and live with the Thai, I've compiled a rough draft of my will.

MARIE HERBERT (mother!): the hamster, the (real) cat, my sweet orange towels. Best mom ever, 4srs!

MEGAN HERBERT: you get first choice of all my books, cds, dvds, and clothes. Also, my room. I'll miss you to the max!

STEPHEN JERSAK: all my magazines / cut-out worthy books, second choice of dvds, my scissors and glue and, most importantly, all my pens. Bests.

ROBYN MOONEY: second choice of all books, cds, and clothes. third of dvds. I'd say shoes, buy your feet are tiny. "Ghetto" and my gabe saportta sweater!

TIM FERNANDES: my camera; keep taking pictures of trees for me. My pillows, because you're a college student who needs more sleep. My nexopia fame.

ALANNA GREW: my copies of Everything is Illuminated as well as Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, because you can never have too many copies. My bird seed shirt. The sticky notes on my walls. Any of my shoes that you'd like. My iPod. My knitting classes, so you can finally apply for that ad.

PETER IM: my movie posters, because we're similar like that. All of my dictionaries.

JESS CODE: all my charm and good looks and height (i know you need it! [just kidding]). My lamp shade, which is awesome. And my mollusk shirt, for the same reason. And my piss star bucks bottle, because you hate it!!! And my maraca, because I believe you have musical talent dwelling just beneath the surface.

Lover's Lane

She's the kind of girl who lives romantic. Red lipstick, little black dress. Curls and pearls. Super slim cigarettes, Dry martinis and vodka water. White carpet, white teeth. Leather bound books, rotary telephone. Typewriter, typewriter, typewriter. Personalized stationary, personalized pen. Perfect cursive, wet black ink. Polite shoes, yoga mat. She's the kind of girl who lives nomadic. Plaid sweatshirt, blue jeans. Sneakers and coffee. Cheap smokes and chain smoking, Wind-blown hair, notes on napkins. Water-logged book, back pocket. Mascara Tea lights, Belle and Sebastian. Beer and scratch tickets. French cursing, untying. Bubble gum and wrappers.

Our generation holds themselves higher than our parents' held the bible.

We allow ourselves to be corrupted by society. We allow ourselves to become lost in the internet. We allow ourselves to have such an excess of narcissism that we spend hours choosing what to reveal about ourselves on facebook in order to create an impression of someone we wish to be, and not at all who we are. We keep digital records of our daily events and feelings, because writing with pen and paper is so passe. We must smoke cigarettes as to occupy our hands, which may otherwise display some sort of truth, the truth of uncertainty. We must develop a reputation of consistency to form personas behind which we hide. We become uncomfortable without a connection; no cellphone, no internet, no safety net.
