Tan and Black :)
Tan (Where do you want to be right now?) - Geographic location…Portland. That’s where my brother is and I miss him. And also Powell’s.
Black (Share something embarrassing.) - In high school, I had choreographed this routine for our squad to perform at half time at a basketball game and it included a knee spin. We had been having trouble all week with our knees catching on the gym floor and some of the girls couldn’t make the turn in the counts. It was taking too long for them stand up. So right before half time, I had this brilliant idea for us to use Victoria Secret Pear lotion to lube up our knees so that no one would be miss the counts. Yeah. That was dumb. So the knee spin came at a point when the music kind of dropped out and got quiet and my knees were so lubed up that I spun out completely and ended up on my butt. My response to this was to drop an F-bomb, which about 200 parents and every administrator at my high school heard. It was awesome. /sarcasm

You will always find people who are helping.’ To this day, especially in times of ‘disaster,’ I remember my mother’s words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers—so many caring people in this world.”

This You
“…and the saddest day
was when I had to tell you a lie -
that I never wanted to see you again,
never wanted to hear your voice -
and you cried,
but I couldn’t tell you that it wasn’t that at all,
just that I’m not good for you.
I love you but I’m going to break your heart.”This is you in my dreams.
It’s been six months,
and I haven’t seen you
or heard from you
and I am long past wondering
what went wrong, or
how I could have changed it.This you in my dreams,
standing there in the middle of the aisle
under the bad light looking
at the pancake mix in your basket
is the same you
who cooked me breakfast for dinner
that night it rained,
who left the pans and plans
til morning,
who pulled the table cloth from the table
when I shivered from the cold.That you and I
lay wrapped in that table cloth
til morning.I haven’t seen this you in quite some time.
This is you in my dreams,
here to tell me that
you did it all to protect me,
to save me from your reckless heart.This you,
a dream.-mp
