Arnold Week 3

I find it funny how the people we read about in history had no idea that someone like me would be learning about them.

Dilara Week 3

Sometimes people baffle me. They spend all their time every day messaging people, asking us how it's going, yet they can't just come up and talk in person.

What makes talking over text so easy, when you could have the person themselves right there, facial expressions and all?

KOTARY WEEK THREE

So one of my favorite children's movies is the movie Coraline. In the movie, The main character is taken away to a world where everything is better than the real world, and the evil beldam fixes all of her problems, from her parents to her friends, neighbors, and clothing.
It makes me wonder, what would be changed if I was taken away by the Beldam? Which friends would be different? How would my parents act? Would everything go my way, or would I be still dealt bad hands? Would I take the offer at the end, and have buttons sown on my eyes?

Waterhouse Week 3

*Picks up brownie from plate*
*Another brownie is attached*
"Oops"

Arnav Sharma Week 3

We're all ticking time-bombs.

McCabe Week 3

The fact that space is always expanding - expanding into nothing - really boggles my mind

Katz Week 3

What if hell is being a completely conscious tree?

Center Week 3

Last night I had a dream about having insomnia.
Needless to say, I woke up very confused.

Michael Tricca Week III

Crossing the street is just like playing a high-stakes game of Frogger.

Musante Week 3

A deadline that doesn’t exist until a quota isn’t met seems so far away because it doesn’t exist. But once the quota isn’t met, the deadline comes into reality as tomorrow, frighteningly close.

Skotz Week 3

Me: When does a sandwich cook?

Joey: Do I even wanna know?

Me: When its bakin' lettuce and tomato! 

Joey: I'm disowning you Skotz. 

Waterhouse Week 2

Panera Bread's vegetarian tomato soup!

KOTARY WEEK TWO

" Gene: That’s a terrible song.
Ms. Merkin: It’s not a song, it’s scales.
Gene: Gross.Ms. Merkin: It’s not gross.
Gene: It’s gross.Ms. Merkin: It’s scales, it can’t be gross.
Gene: It’s gross!Ms. Merkin: It’s not gross, it’s scales!

[...]

Ms. Merkin: Again. 

Gene: What?! We've been at this for hours! 

Ms. Merkin: We've been at this for forty five seconds. " 

-Bob's Burgers Episode, "Genethoven"

McCabe Week 2

"Oh my god, did I ever tell you the story about my arugula and chicken salad? It was..."

- overheard between a girl and her friend

Skotz Week 2

I go out just to re-forget
and drown my sorrows in liquor and wine.
I saw my life in a stranger's face
and it was mine.

Alec Musante Week 2

Sometimes, when you have nothing to say, you furiously think and think and pray for a stray thought to say, just to make sure you contribute.

Or, just write about the fact that you have no ideas.

Dilara Week 2

People don't own cats.
Cats own human servants.

Arnold Week 2

"I find that the harder I work the luckier I get" -- Thomas Jefferson

Arnav Sharma Week 2

Alternate history authors are essentially writing fan-fictions of real life.

Michael Tricca Week 2

People are born with fear. But they aren't born with hate.

Katz week 2

It's interesting that people get to know their dogs so well without them ever saying a word, but those same people feel like the only way to get to know other people is through conversation

Prendergast Week 1

I wonder if I’ve ever had milk from the same cow twice.

Week #1 - Raj Vekeria

If the future was my friend on facebook, then I would be mutual friends with scary, nervous, excited, and uncertainty.

Arnold Week 1

"People want to explore the world but they don't realize how amazing their backyard is" -Abby Katz 8/31

KOTARY WEEK ONE

Zombie Apocalypse Plan (ASSUMING I AM THE LAST PERSON IN MY FAMILY ALIVE):
      I live by the train tracks in Littleton, so I would follow the tracks to a small town. Running to my car, I would first grab a ski pole or a shovel from my garage. I would drive to the road near the station, and walk there through the woods. I would make sure I had blood on my clothes so that I could hide behind the trees until I could get on the tracks. Then I would walk to the small town, maintaining my pace for as long as I could. The goal would be to get there and to either find people, or be able to raid a grocery store. I would bring my cats with me, because they wouldn't deserve to be left behind. I would find and empty house and board up, and learn to heat the house with wood. I would barricade all but one door and keep the other door locked during the day. This would allow me to keep the cats in, the zombies out, and still be able to go out and find food, water, medicine, weapons, and any other necessities. I'd stay like that as long as I possibly could...
            But let's be real: I'd die in the first five minutes.

Doolin Week 1

I got cream cheese on my face the other day. I felt like I had a huge blob of cream cheese on my cheek, when in reality there was hardly anything there. Reminds me a lot of my life.

Waterhouse Week 1

My grandpa told me he used to own a race horse...

Dilara Week 1

Found a quote that inspired me:

"don't cling to a mistake just because you spent a lot of time making it" -Anonymous

Me when making decisions

Cammalleri

I wonder how much of life revolves around the pursuit of poison. Happiness is not a lifestyle, but a momentary high. One which, like any other high, will precede an inevitable crash.

With all pleasure, there is eventual pain, and through all agony, an eventual relief. We pursue pleasure, knowing in the back of our minds that it is a fleeting phantom. Despite the predicted fall, we  still reach, jump, and break our backs for beautiful, intoxifying poison. It gives us something for which to aim. With it, we are sick, yet confident- without it, life is dull; directionless; meaningless.

Bring forth the poison
Let me indulge in my own insanity
Rather than waste away,
Leaving behind no chaos

Michael Tricca Week I

It had me wondering recently; just how many times have I survived the day simply because an angry driver consciously determined they wouldn't run me over, or Alan the Axe-Murderer decided, "Meh, I'm just not feelin' it today..."?

Alec Musante, Week 1 Posting

A spark, properly managed, is the only thing a fire needs to start. Each observation of the world is a spark, but only a few will bloom into the fire of an idea realized.

Hopefully, you will light your spark for an idea.

Arnav Sharma Week 1

I'm not clumsy, okay? Stairs are just extremely dangerous.

McCabe Week 1

It's a funny thing, to look out at the world from above. When you see land stretching out from where you are, seemingly infinitely, you realize just how small we are in the world.

Wiser Week One

"In the inky blue night, the lemons hang like exploded yellow shards of an exploded star. Ribbons of their bright, citrusy scent waver in the air, making her nose dance. Warm earth slides between her toes as she creeps toward the trees."

Caldwell Week 1

"You will love this someday"

Katz week 1

There are millions of books in the world, including thousands that are good, and a small handful with the potential of changing your life. However, you will never be able to read every book or find every book in that small handful, meaning that there are changes to your life that simply never happened that could have.

Skotz Week 1

News Reporter: On Sunday the man was arrested under chargers of theft and insomnia...excuse me, theft and resisting arrest.
