If a redhead does something
Is it done gingerly?

Anger is a funny thing; just as physical as it is emotional, you feel it in your body just as much as in your heart and mind. A tightening in your chest, a pounding in your head, a coursing, pulsing current of chilled blood tensing your forearms and clenching your fists. Your eyebrows furrow and your throat dries as you search for the right words to break your opponent, your enemy. There is no...

One of my favorite feelings is slowly waking up to the rain falling and dripping and drenching the world while I curl up in bed dry and warm and listen to the music of the clouds.

in a rich man's world.
Uncle: I left some money for you on the fridge... It's not much.
Me: Are you kidding? I'm in college! I freak out over quarters.

grandma's boy problems.
“You know why I left home early? I was 16 and all the teenagers were there fighting over me. The boys would come from this barrio and then this barrio, I couldn’t even take a shower or go to the bathrom! I’d go to the farm with boys following me. That’s why I was scared about boys.”

captain obvious.
If he existed, I’d be his archnemesis. Nothing irritates me more than someone who believes it’s their life’s purpose to constantly emphasize what everyone already knows. They’d get shot with my laser gun. Pew pew!

My grandma just warned me that my roommate might have lice. What a cutie.

whenever it happens.
Not that it’s gonna happen soon or anything, but with all my friends around me getting engaged, it’s got me thinking. Whenever it happens, I’d want my friends to be there. I’d like a group of people to jump around and giggle and scream with me when I freak out.

coffee & guns.
Walking into Starbucks tonight felt like walking into an unrealistically cool cop show. Several police officers crowded the counter munching on lemon loaf, sipping iced tea, and waiting for their drinks to blend and foam. These weren’t your typical pull-you-over-on-the-freeway-and-say-jerk-smart-remarks-on-your-fail-azn-racerboy-driving kind of cops. For one, instead of stuffy uniforms, they...

freaking out.
I’ve been proud of myself lately, being a responsible big girl and all, but now I’m going crazy. I misplaced crucial financial aid papers (aka tax return forms) and I need them now. Right. Now. I haven’t seen them since school ended and a whole summer’s worth of not thinking about school has caused me to forget where that stack of dead trees went. Ugh. On a brighter note, I...

God gives me cookies.
After lunch today I wanted cookies, but it was silly thought since I don’t have money to spend on frivolous goodness like that. A few minutes later I get a knock on the door and my aunties are standing there with a bag of *drumroll* COOKIES!!!!! Miracle? YES! I didn’t even ask! Thank you Jesus :)

disney magic works on exams.
This morning I was so stressed that my nose was itchy and I was snapping at everyone (snap! snap!) because I had to take my CBEST. If you’re wondering what that is, it’s a pain in the rear standardized exam for education majors; and although I had been studying, I was in no mood to take a three hour long test. I had low expectations for everything. Kaleb told me that I wouldn’t...

bridges.
In life there will be times when distance between you and certain people will be necessary, but that does not mean you must torch every bridge you cross.

strangers now.
They were strangers now, even though they still had the same friends and worked at the same place. Their run-ins were accidental and generic, much like the old lady you talk to on the plane beacuse she’s stuck next to you and vaguely reminds you of your great aunt Ruth. Their conversations were limited and blase: work, friends, boss-jokes, work… Never even reaching the surface, they preferred to...

about her.
This is Rikka, she is a girl too. She is saying something. And what she says is usually very interesting and very witty. She lives in another country, and I’ll be a creep and call her a friend.

about me.
Hello. I am a girl. I have a habit of wearing sweaters that are too big, eating lilikoi toast late at night, and wandering off when no one is looking. This is a tumblr of things I like. You know, just in case you wanted to start Christmas shopping for me.

best way to wake me up.
Wake up to alarm » Go back to sleep. Wake up to people » Go back to sleep. Wake up to realize you don’t know where your phone is » Jump out of bed, search furiously.

by the seashore.
It was half hidden in the sand, noticable only because it reflected the pink and orange of sunset. Everyone already walked back to the car, but as she knelt down to pick it up she knew this was the reason she lingerd. It was a shell, barely larger than her fingertips, painted with a creamy color that blended a pearl with the sun. Reaching into her pocket she pulled out another identical to the...

kick it with princesses.
This week I spent a day at Disneyland with a five wonderful ladies. Since my friends and I usually go out in mixed groups, it’s been a while since I’ve hung out with only girls. Disneyland minus the opposite sex is a trip! We were a total riot. Prancing around giggling at the thought of which princes we’d kmf, learning how to princess pose from Princess Tiana herself, and rocking...
