After 3 straight nights of shots. Granted, not many shots per, but still.
I’m writing this at my parents’ house next to my boyfriend in the room I slept in when I was in 8th grade, under the covers of a decade-old sheet and pillow set, on a super comfortable mattress we purchased in 2008 that has my body indented in it. Read More
Dinner for Mr. Chokkattu’s family and my first attempt at a foodwishes recipe!
The chicken was alright because we had to replace some ingredients, but the potatoes and the sauce were great!

…and it was pretty chill, besides the presence of the National Guard keeping everyone on edge. I felt bad for those boys to be honest; they don’t really get to pick their assignments and many of them did seem to emphasize with the protesters, considering their ages and races. They wouldn’t talk to us however; Julian’s camera made sure of that.
I guess it’s really fitting that recovery comes with the smiles and the kindness of family. I have the smallest family out of the group I’m with, but I still feel that caring big family vibe when I decide to count my extended family and my friends, and their families, and I think this sort of inclusion, if sometimes grating and bothersome as families can be, was wholly invaluable to our activities yesterday. I mean, the first thing we did was go to the mall on a Sunday.
Dolphin Mall is gigantic and gorgeous and sure, it’s ultimately a shopping mall, but it also has a Dave & Buster’s, a bowling alley, a mini-golf course, and a movie theater alongside its dozens of sit-down restaurants and food court. It is the largest value retail shopping center in the Miami-Dade County. Plus, I needed a swimsuit that wasn’t from Goodwill. (And a top and two skirts from Garage, which basically doesn’t exist where I live.) Which reminds me, I still don’t have clothes for St. Patrick’s day. I need to fit that in somewhere.
Hope you all had a good Christmas and did something as relaxing as a nature hike with your family…
…risky as eating raw oysters at a Chinese buffet…
And I hope you spent time with friends…
And ate some bangin’ food :3
What the fuck, NJ school district?
Step it the hell up. Illegally punishing a child and his family like that without even a whiff of actual provocation.
I knew the system was ridiculous, but I thought it was only on the neglect and oversight end. Apparently I’m wrong.
Hot pot for the win!
I love my famiry (-∞, 3)

First heard this song when my family was vacationing in Las Vegas. They were playing a section of it loudly, on repeat, for a week, possibly more. It was short enough and catchy enough that my mom and I didn’t really mind they were literally…
My older cousin who has two little boys told me she didn’t want girls because there were just so many more frightening variables with girls. I know this is true enough. This isn’t meant, I’m sure, to marginalize a teenager’s, or even an adolescent’s desire…
