Katie in High School!
When I was in high school, I was a bit, odd, as we all were. I wore Spice Girl shirts I’d ripped apart and then sewn back together. I wore strange dresses I found at the Salvation Army. I wore black wigs, and red wigs, and flourescent pink wigs. I wore shirts I’d sewn the titles of Cure songs onto.
I also hung out in the library ALL the time. The librarians knew my name, but this is...

My days (and my yesterday)
I have a car, sort of. It’s my mothers car, or it was. But it’s still in her name, and it’s still registered to her. The plates on the car have been expired since December and she doesn’t want to pay her fines from the toll road to get them renewed. So the car sits parked on my street.

On seeing the 100% perfect girl one beautiful...
by Haruki Murakami
One beautiful April morning, on a narrow side street in Tokyo’s fashionable Harujuku neighborhood, I walked past the 100% perfect girl. Tell you the truth, she’s not that good-looking. She doesn’t stand out in any way. Her clothes are nothing special. The back of her hair is still bent out of shape from sleep. She isn’t young, either - must be near thirty, not even close to a...
