This is the condensed version of a book we're compiling and editing- "The Dummies' Guide to Dating". It's a self-help guide of essays, interviews, and stories about love written by various people in our lives. Coming soon to a theater near you! Everything you need to know ab...
I've become a great fan of TI over the last two years, and i thought it would be appropriate to let you all know. I first discovered the magazine in our library- took the copy home and never returned it. The first thing I wanted to do was get a piece published in TI; and right away I began subm...
I'll never walk past a cemetery again without thinking of him. Today they laid him into a hole and spooned dirt onto him. Liza's mother got me a single white rose to put on top of his casket, but later they told me that I wouldn't let go of it when the time came.
It's right wh...
"Undun" has become one of my favorite albums of the year. And for a girl with over 100 cds that begin with the letters A thru E alone, that means quite a lot! The tracks are simple, even home-made sounding, sometimes merely piano and drums. The Roots offer a fresh sound for those who tire ...
Happiness comes to those who bake cherry pies!" She says, and giggles a lil manically.
Great. A two-hour bus trip stuck next to some crazy chick who don't realize that plastic hats wit' glued-on flowers ain't the style anymore. And ain't been tha style for 'bout a hun...
You were Romeo to my Juliet;
We both knew it would end in hurt.
Bit I'd be lying if I never said
That every second carried worth.
So when you see me there,
On my bridal grave;
With my body cold
And the knife in me...
My darling, Romeo, don't cry-
'Cause I always want my Romeo...
Nobody knows what was wrong wit' him, brotha.
Nobody could tell you.
I cried when I heard 'bout it.
Cried my lil heart out, like it could bring you back or somethin'.
I dunno, Tray.
Some people are just f***ed up like that.
I didn't make it to the vigil.
I'm sorry...
You and me
Like a car out of control
On steep hill, no guardrails
We'd pump the brakes, but the brakes are soft
No stopping now
We draw rapidly nearer to the end of us
Burning rubber, leaking belated "I love you"'s
and "I'm sorry"'s out
the dragging ex...
Moments like this
wring a rare affection from my heart.
See her smile.
See the shape of her body curled into a black half-moon.
Moments like this,
I don't want to change her.
Moments like this,
she could remain perfectly reposed forever.
Smile, girl.
Dream, girl.
Moments like this

I've seen two angels pass me by;
I was small and weak and I could not follow.
I've heard broken wings may learn to fly,
But until mine do, here I stay.
I've loved those angels, each at a time,
One was light, one dark, but they both paused for me,
Saying, darling, come with me;...
When did they change you, little girl,
from a human to a monster?
Now your white teeth are fangs;
your manicured nails, talons.
Your smile is deadly.
Your gesture can tear people to shreds.
Every word you utter is a threat.
My God, little girl, when did you change?...
One day you'll say words you shouldn't say
One day your angel will walk away
Write a letter
Out in the weather
Send a kiss out
On a feather
Write your heart
Out in the star s
If he sees it there
He'll know where you are...
Chorus
And you'll pray &q...
If I knew how to say thank you to him for coming today, I would've. I mean, I'd left a brusque note on his cabin door, "Hey Jeff- I'm gonna be at the library. If you happen to want to come down, we can talk," but I never thought he would. Maybe I haven't had real friend...
Baby dreads tucked under
your gangsta hat;
guess you know you look good like that.
And you awkward on your board,
ain't skated much before,
but better than me for sure.
I'm giving you looks
and flashing some skin.
See you look up as I go in.
And your pal giving you hell
like, &...
Surface pretty-
a monster inside
her heart, her soul,
her life.
Mascara bleeding
with the tears she cries-
she smiles and laughs,
then lies.
Surface pretty-
ugly within;
her heart as black
as sin.
If they saw her soul,
they all would flinch.
They would never trust
again.
Surface ...
