I was supposed to live just like all of my brothers and my father before me; quiet, married with kids, 9 to 5 job, educated, house in the burbs; all the usual stuff. That's the funniest thing about life though, isn't it? It doesn't always turn out the way it was supposed to. In the beginning, it started out just as...
There's a few weeks left of high school and sadly I'm riding the bus, something I haven't done since ninth grade. It's not something a person of my standing at school does very often, but it couldn't be helped—my car's in the shop, my boyfriend's away at a rugby tournament, and I didn't really feel like calling any of my other friends.

A hush fell over the classroom as I entered. I gazed around the room taking each of the senior students that I would be responsible for teaching the next month. Some of them looked like they belonged junior high instead of being seniors in high school. Some of them looked like they should not be in school at all but in their first or second semester in colle...
When I was a kid watching cartoons, I always wondered what happened during the happy ever after. You know, the movie ends, the good guys have won, and everything is right with the world. So what do they do now? Then I grew up and discovered the internet. Seems others had the same question, and answered it. They fucked. Fucked like bunnies. All the time, in...

Running late from oversleeping, knowing that you won't buy that excuse again. Rushing, while my mind is racing contemplating what to what to tell you. With my fingers crossed, hoping you will excuse me. I get into the hall, of your classroom, seeing you stand at the doorway. The bell has rung, and this has been the third time, that I have been late. No mat...
