Signs, signs, everywhere...
Epiphany this morning. Actually, a brilliant idea if no one has already thought it up. Anyhow, you know these Halloween stores- during the summer, they’re fireworks stores, after Halloween, they’re Christmas stores. Junky, Chinese made trash. You love it. You also love the guys standing outside with signs sometimes dressed as Uncle Sam or Frankenstein. Well, what if we do a little bit...
The Secret
As a teenager I used to secretly put holy water on my zits at Sunday Mass. I thought that by applying the water to the blemishes it would make them heal faster. So, after blessing myself, I would apply what was left of the holy water to my chin or cheek or wherever the zits happened to be. The difficult part was discretely making the application in the crowded church, yet doing it fast enough...

I am not a worldly woman.
I am caustic, untrusting, socially awkward… and yet underneath all that – still a little naive. A little innocent. It’s something I think I cover up nicely. So much of my life has been based on survival that I do my best never to show any weaknesses.

Listen, don’t ask me what I’m saying in my native tongue. You wanna know so badly, go learn it yourself. Twenty years it took me to perfect the language my mothers and her mothers spoke Twenty seconds it took you to ask what me and my sister spoke about? If I said I wasn’t talking to you, why don’t you stop bothering me.
How dare you step to me, invade my privacy, waste...
