our biggest shows were about WWI, WWII, and Auschwitz. but we also had one where we put on big bear masks and made a porno. definitely the lighter side of our performances.
uhmmm..?

seriously, give me a break.
prof: this composite is incredibly depressing and gloomy. there is far too much longing within it.
me: that's bullshit. it's a brightly colored mr. potato head.
prof: well we can all have our own opinions.
me: yeah, unfortunately yours affects my grade.

thought of the day
you say you’re the king of bad timing and i know i’m the queen, but what if this isn’t bad timing at all. what if she broke your heart and he broke mine so we could find each other and mend them?

questions that provoke thought
1. What is it like to wake up every morning and pretend that you aren’t dying? 2. Do you believe in the death penalty? What if someone murdered your mother in cold blood? What if someone murdered a stranger’s mother, but saved your life the month before? 3.

3. Everybody dreams. Every human being...
