Newer posts →. November 5, 2009 · 9:31 pm. There was more knocking at my door. I didn’t answer. I couldn’t. Then there was knocking at my neighbor’s door. They. There was a lot of talking, and I didn’t hear it all. I hid in the darkness and crept to my door to listen. I spend most of my time in my living room which is at the back of the condo, so I don’t think they could see the lights on or any signs of life when they looked in from the parking lot. I know that I’m wrong for not calling them. ...Most of...

Good Riddance, 2009 | Modern Poverty
https://modernpoverty.wordpress.com/2009/12/31/good-riddance-2009
A Heart Two Sizes Too Small. December 31, 2009 · 4:47 pm. Good Riddance, 2009. It’s New Year’s Eve, and the last thing I want to do is go out and celebrate. I don’t want to stay home either, as the roommate will probably be here as well and I won’t be able to hide away by myself. I’ve spent a lot of today watching the. Marathon on Syfy. I feel content while doing this, even though they keep playing this depressing tear-jerker of a commercial. Not only did the mystery lump not show up in an X-ray, but my ...

Stop This Rain (or Poverty-Induced Nightmares, Part 2 →. October 15, 2009 · 12:59 am. I Blame Society (or Poverty-Induced Nightmares, Part 1). I hope they send Emilio Estevez next time. On or before April 7. I was furious. I have an intercom and I yelled through it. I was groggy, but I believe my exact words were “It’s 1 in the morning! What the hell are you doing? The kind of dudes who wear backwards baseball caps, only talk to hot girls, and still listen to Limp Bizkit. What the hell is wrong with you?

Oh, the Guilt | Modern Poverty
https://modernpoverty.wordpress.com/2009/12/18/oh-the-guilt
A Heart Two Sizes Too Small →. December 18, 2009 · 4:47 pm. Oh, the Guilt. My drunk roommate lost her job very shortly after we moved in together. That’s when it got. Thankful that she’s offered to let me stay here, but I just knew I’d spend the whole time walking on broken eggshells. Weeks ago she asked me where I wanted to sleep when I stay with her. I told her that I just wanted to sleep wherever it was convenient for her and I wouldn’t interfere with her daily routine. Feel free to just boss me aroun...

Oh, the Guilt. Good Riddance, 2009 →. December 24, 2009 · 10:41 pm. A Heart Two Sizes Too Small. So I’m less inclined to feel guilty about not shopping. Our attics, garages, landfills, and thrift stores are full of crap no one needs. Why contribute? My mother and I used to hit the Indian casino on Christmas –before she was injured, I mean. She was blind in one eye and almost blind in the other, but she could still kind of manage certain electronic slot machines. Me? I’m a blackjack girl. Kind of crazy...
