the innanet


I'm taking a web design class this semester so I can have a portfolio website. It was a bad idea, it has never taken me so long to be mediocre at something before.

I've been making lists for a long time now. I kind of want to write about 40 blank lists and invite a bunch of girls over and make everyone sit in a real big circle. Then we would pass out the lists and everyone would have 60 seconds to write as many things as they could before switching with the person on their left.

I had help with this, you know who you are. maybe you are embarrassed.
maybe I am going to illustrate this.

things i didn't like about you:
you were short
you used paint palettes as ashtrays
you never made me anything, just talked about it
you smoked all my weed and then fell asleep
you broke my toilet
you didn't like my dog

you paid attention
you smelled my hair
you liked hammocks
we went on roadtrips
you wrote me a bad song - and a good one
