- Pins and Needles
When typing, I sometimes find myself in awkward positions for some time. For example, I was sitting on my foot for quite a while and when I got up, I got the dreaded case of pins and needles. Make sure to have good posture when typing.
TXT (TOMORROW X TOGETHER)
- Skipping Stones
We love throwing irregular stones into the calm river. Even though we know it's a painful time period, we grab another stone. I'm curious, what feelings are you going through when you throw yourself?
The Sibley Field Guide to Birds of Western North America
- Horned Lark
Common in expansive open areas with barren or only sparsely vegetated ground such as beaches, plowed fields, and edges of airport runways. Usually in flocks of up to hundreds, often mixed with longspurs or Snow Bunting. Feeds on seeds and insects gleaned from low vegetation or the ground. Size and color reminiscent of sparrows; note short-legged crouching posture, relatively brown plumage, bold face pattern with dark mask, and dark breast-band. In flight, note long wings and short square tail.

- Ponzi Scheme of life
Everyone talks their book, and everyone searches for the answers they want. There can be no lies in this system, because the desired answer is unquestionable, and the undesired answer requires further investigation. And so the Ponzi Scheme of life goes on, as we pass our desired answers down to the next generation of suckers.
Martha Simpson of Glastonbury, Conn
- 1985 Lytton Fiction Contest Winner
The countdown stalled at T-minus 69 seconds when Desiree, the first female ape to go up in space, winked at me slyly and pouted her thick, rubbery lips unmistakably - the first of many such advances during what would prove to be the longest, and most memorable, space voyage of my career.
Call the Midwife
- Delia to Patsy after waiting up for her
While you were out, I was thinking 'I'm gonna unpin her hair, let it fall down to her shoulders, and run my hands through it.' But you've gone so mad with the lacquer, you could pull out every Kirby grip and the beehive wouldn't budge.
Vampire Weekend
- Pravda
They always ask me about pravda. It's just the Russian word for truth. Your consciousness is not my problem. Cause when I come home, it won't be home to you.
Thomas Mann
- Death in Venice
An offensive sultriness lay over the streets. The air was so heavy that the smells pouring out of homes, stores, and eating houses became mixed with oil, vapors, clouds of perfume, and still other odors-and these would not blow away, but hung in layers. Cigarette smoke remained suspended, disappearing very slowly.
Kim Namjoon
- Wild Flower
Idling repeats, memories turning vicious. Lying in a field, I set my sights onto the skies. Now I can't remember what I wanted so badly. I trusted I was happy, now a mere memory. Yeah, I've been goin', no matter what's in front. No matter what it may be. Memories of holding onto dawn's edge and spitting things out. Society's all for the loudest voice, and here I am, still speaking silence. It's an aside, a boat in full bloom, to face all the prejudice and misunderstandings.
Bangtan Sonyeondan
- Outro: Tear
If someone turned back time for me, could I maybe have been more honest? My bare face that only I know, and my ugly and humble old friends within myself. Could you have still loved me with the smile you used to make while looking at me? Forever, stop saying things like forever. There's gotta be an end anyway. If there's a beginning, I don't wanna listen to that. I was just so scared, because it felt like maybe I had never loved you at all, not even once.

- homeschool to highschool
I never thought I would be able to experience high school especially because I was homeschooled for many years. Another thing I didn't expect is that I would be passing all of my classes; I thought I would be a student who barely passes their classes. But no, I'm passing with A's and B's and maybe a C depending if I missed a few days and never made up the work.
NotMe
- Being Used
I am a people pleaser. I get used on a daily and I know that it might be sad but I am used to it by now. I dont care that people walk all over me as long as they are happy that is all that matters. I would rather be unhappy than make someone else unhappy. I guess I am just used to be being used.
Some philosopher
- Who am I?
I am not who you think I am. I am not who I think I am. I am who I think you think I am. And this part is typed because I have to make it longer to submit.

- I Wished He Cheated
The other day, I was sitting on my bed. I was thinking, intensely about my recent breakup. Trying to find every single reason why he would do that, even after him explaining. His reasoning made sense, I guess that made it hurt more. I wished he had cheated, because I wanted a reason to hate him. I wanted a reason to be mad at him for breaking up with me. But he didn't, he didn't cheat, he told me the truth. I just have to learn to accept what it is.
Farquaad
- Farquaad's Speech
That champion shall have the honor, no, no, the privilege to go forth and rescue the lovely Princess Fiona from the fiery keep of the dragon. If for any reason the winner is unsuccessful, the first runner-up will take his place and so on and so forth. Some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice I am willing to make. Let the tournament begin!
Mihael Radjail
- Try to achieve something greater
You don't need to be famous. You don't need to be rich. You just need to help at least one person in your life, even if it is you, yourself. No one says it's going to be easy because it's definitely hard. But you can try until you can't.

- Random Thoughts
Sometimes, I just want to scream my lungs out! Why? Well, because nothing is working out as it's supposed to. I feel everything with so much intensity that it actually hurts sometimes. No, it has nothing to do with people; I'm just stupid like that and I let everything affect me, while it's not even affecting anyone or anything around me. Sometimes, I just want to scream so loud that YOU hear me!
Our Flag Means Death
What we're about to do will be perilous! Very perilous! Some of us won't be coming back. Others may be wounded. Still others may come back looking totally fine... but in reality, be mentally devastated by what they've witnessed.

- Myths are Real, Reality is a Myth
The 'eye for eye' policy satisfies the logical mind but this policy is also equally impracticable. you may follow this policy against a person who is weaker than you. However, if the person is more powerful than you- like your boss, parents, government, the police-it would be disastrous to follow this policy as it may lead to your total ruin.
Jane Austen
- Northanger Abbey...Catherine's thoughts
Little as Catherine was in the habit of judging for herself, and unfixed as were her general notions of what men ought to be, she could not entirely repress a doubt, while she bore with the effusions of his endless conceit, of his being altogether completely agreeable...
