Rules of Engagement

Do not wear a belt - it is very difficult to lift pants off the floor let alone put them on without making noise.

Do not leave panties, leggings, or jeans on the floor when there is a dog present. (This will not be the dingos first panty snack, nor his last.)

Do not attempt to ride a skateboard in order to get there faster, does not make for a quiet ride of shame.

Bring a condom, men never provide. (recommend stocking your own "dirty whore kit" in a small bag that can be stuffed in purse - condoms, wet nap, lysterine strips, baby wipes, fresh pair of panties.)

Expect texts between 1am and 3am. This is primetime, so if already engaged, make sure to turn phone off.

If any feelings towards the other individual begin to develop, DELETE!

Dear Mrs. Chadsey
I am writing to share some great news about God's kingdom. I have learned I have learned from my study of the bible that Jehovah God set up a kingdom in heaven ruled by his son Jesus Christ will soon destroy all wicked people off the earth. The ones remaining will be the people obeying jehovah's commands now (ps. 37:10:11). They will have the privilege of seeing th earth returned to a paradise like the original garden of eden where all of our needs will be met, no more sickness or death. (Rev 21:4). I you would like to learn what the bible really teach, please contact me at the address above or call me at 7180 599-7956 on Friday mining 10:00 am until noon. All services are free, I hope to hear from you soon,

Thanks for considering this information.

Sincerely, Eartha I.

will this last?

My mother’s house, with fake wood paneling. An old thin futon mattress on the floor. The scratching of rodents behind the unfinished constellations on the ceiling. Baked mouse turds and piss still warm in the oven long after the diner was served. The old possum scratching under the house. The white noise of the fan to drown out the paranoia and the poltergeist of memory.

why

one thing one if I could remember. Something. White. Frustration. Running. The train. I was missing it. Running through layered hallways and doors that lead me in the wrong direction. There was something else. On the tip of my mind. Why didn’t I write it down. Does it matter really. Had something to do with him. Running in front, leaping two steps at time. Lips, teeth, chest, tongue. That was here, and here, and there.

not so delicious

Was Milky white
not very creamy
it was on the lighter side
and
it was actually on the sweeter side.

FIshtale

"So yeah I was driving down the road, I guess I was like 15 years old, cause in Hawaii you can drive at 15, and um it was like a bypass where they were doing construction the road but it was really curvy and I didn’t know what to do if I fishtailed…it was raining really hard and there was cane fields its what’s all around that area and I guess um I thought it was a cat but it was a ferret apparently that ran out in front of the car and I… and I did what your not supposed to do. I should have run the fucker over but I slammed on the brakes instead. I didn’t slam on the breaks I put the brakes on but I had bad tires. It was an old car, it was like a 76 Plymouth flore… totally steal a car. That’s what saved me. And um so then the backend slid out to the left so shwooo slides out to the left and what you should do I guess when it fishtales is what my brothers taught me later is to pull the wheel to the left as well which when your ass is sliding out to the left all you really want to do is go back to the right so you kinda pull the wheel to the right or that’s what I did which turned me into a spin and then I went 360 into one of those cement barriers on side and crushed the front of the car and the tire popped of course my glasses flew off of my face I remember that . Anyway um after that my brothers taught me what to do when you fishtale which is to go the same way that your ass is going well you know when it you know like with the steering wheel like if the back of the car is going to the left you have to pull the wheel to as if you are the left so that it kind of evens out you know and you slid sideways as opposed to you sliding the backend out to the left and you pulling the car to the right cause that where you want to go back to but that kind of continues the motion circular motion and that’s what makes you spin out. You know you can do it on purpose. Like my brothers can do it on purpose. You know, they do it. They do it, but it’s not safe."

Bingowings

Tuck the tail bone
loosen the neck
And up
Here we go
Up and down up and down up and down up and down
Right here
Big curl
And again one more and turn that weight
bringing it up on the sides
Up up up up
Curl don’t swing
Curl and again
Oh now one of each
curl and down curl and down
And curl up curl up
Here is the front
And take that weight overhead
Press it up and down
Elbows close to the body
Close to the ears
Tuck that chin
Pressing up and down
Really extend
And again
Good job
Press release press release press release
Good job
