The NY Times (online or otherwise) has great articles. Mr. Toesocks, from the bowels of Uganda would read it as religiously as possible (in particular the fashion section- for good writing, no less) on the many days he spends at the club where they have internet.

Quiet time the other left this girl overwhelmed; it read:

road less travelled

The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and [...]

Posted in just me, new things, writings on March 25, 2009 | 2 Comments »
This girl has been tagged far too many times now and so she’s decided to finally sit her butt down and write 25 things about herself. And like many before her, she wonders who cares to read this stuff, but she’ll write it anyway.
1. This girl is terrified of lizards. If there’s a lizard on [...]

Another piece from the old blog, this girl had written this- and it surprises her she remembers when, where and why she wrote this- on a particularly sad day. It was a time in her life where she was learned that, like sand in your hand, the harder you try and hold on to something, [...]

the original sock story

Jesse owned a pair of funny socks. Unlike most socks that were identical, his weren’t! One side was blue with hot pink stripes and a tiny strip of orange just at the border of where the toes would be; and the other that was white with brilliant green flowers printed all over, and each flower [...]
Revisiting the missing piece
Posted in sock stuff, vintage, writings on August 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This girl is good at letting go and closing chapters. She’s not one that stores mountains of keepsakes, or old things because they have sentimental value.
