Your words mean so much to me. It’s because I met you that I’m able to smile the way I do now. I’ll always be able to keep on smiling, my friend. I’ll never forget the kindness that you showed me.
Dear Grandma,
I had a dream about you. I woke up crying. It was like the funeral procession for you again, and the whole family came together. I miss you. I miss having all of them here together. I’m not the same carefree kid I was back then. And I don’t have you here anymore, but I still have many memories of you. Thank you and good bye.
Umibozu:
Said to be the apparition of a person who died at sea who still haunts the ocean waves due to the lack of a proper funeral. Sighting one means a storm is approaching but they are also known to suddenly emerge underneath ships and capsize them. They are also said to drag ships down with their long arms or pour water on them until they sink. What ever the case may be they make life hell for fishermen everywhere.
More frighting though is the real life natural phenomenon that may have given birth to this myth. Said to be nothing but tall tales until as recently as 1995, when it was first recorded by scientists, this strange occurrence where a massive wave of water emerges from the ocean and towers ominously above sea level for seemingly no reason at all is known as a “Rouge Wave”.
Waves are a natural occurrence out at sea this much is true but they are usually attributed to something such as weather and at most reach levels of 48ft and are dangerous to smaller ships but your average ocean liner can usually withstand them. The thing about Rouge Waves though is that they can reach a level of 98 ft., even possibly up to 115 ft., and occur even on the clearest day with no obvious warnings signs and pose a significant risk to just about anything out at sea even Oil Rigs.
They happen an awful lot too but they go largely unrecorded and are far out at sea. Scientist are still researching them and trying to discover their true origin in order to establish effective countermeasures.
tl;dr Umibozu are real so watch the fuck out!
I’ve been such a night creature lately. Been sleeping around 6 or 7 AM .__. SOOO BAD.
Woke up at 12ish today tho. I tried being productive and studying for chem but that didn’t work out so well. Kept falling back to sleep hella times.
Went to chem review with Luis at 7ish. We went to Toupadakis’ review because Augustine’s was so full. Toupadakis passed out those lil plant thingy again…but to people sitting on the side. I got the little plant thingy too eventho I was kinda in the middle ^___^
Luis made a bet with me about a chem problem and I won so he had to buy me a smoothie from Trudy’s. Best smoothie I ever had =)
And now…time to study some more for chem.
Hopefully I’ll get a lot of sleep tonight!
Hi. That’s me. Before I got to know you lol. Damn I look so weird. I must’ve really not wanted to go home. I won my bet with you.
Home is more of a feeling than a place. And I feel at home with the friends that I have.
Dear friend, you are very important to me. You make me smile often, and I enjoy seeing you laugh. It saddens me then to see you with such a downcasted face. How ironic that even though you’re so tall, you feel so small. Yet you continue to smile in place of tears, and though you fear what the future brings, you continue on bravely.
Dear friend, it’s okay to not be fine.
I have a guardian angel who loves me no matter what. I’m so fucking lucky. Things will change and I might not have him anymore, but I’ll always appreciate everything he’s done. I love you :]
Meh, guardian angels are overrated don’t you think? ;)

“To JK Rowling, from Cho Chang” by Rachel Rostad
Regardless of your opinion on the Harry Potter books (I’ve been madly in love with them since way back in elementary), you should watch this video. Be sure to actually listen to the poet and not immediately jump to the defense of the books that you love. It’s okay to love something and acknowledge that it has flaws.
Preach.
The one Asian girl in the book was named Cho Chang.The two Indian girls had names like Parvati Patil. Just think about that for a sec. Not to mention I always thought the timing of JK Rowling announcing Dumbledore’s sexual preference was a bit convenient.
Even if you are the author, you don’t get to add to your works via speech. If it’s not in the book, it didn’t happen. Write an 8th book that believably ties everything in that you’ve announced, and maybe I’ll consider it.
Beautiful
