About me: I'm the sorta girl who always keeps a bit of snack in my pocket. Just in case I get sent to a alternate world/strange dimension/bizarre cosmos where food doesn't exist. cause I tend to get hungry every 2 to 3 hours.
The heart wants to feel. The heart wants to hold.
The heart takes past Subway, past Stop and Shop, past Beal’s, and calls it “coming home.”
The heart wants a trail away from “alone,” so the heart turns a sale into a well-worn milestone
towards hard-won soft furniture, fought-for fast food, defended end table that holds paperbacks and back U.S. News.
The mind turns an itch into a bruise, and the hands start to twitch when they’re feeling ill-used.
And you’re almost back now, you can see by the signs; from the bank you tell the temperature and then the time, and the billboard reads some headlines.
The head wants to turn, to avert both its eyes, but the mind wants to learn of some truth that might be inside reported crimes.
So they found a lieutenant who killed a village of kids. After finishing off the wives, he wiped off his knife and that’s what he did.
And they’re not claiming that there’s any excusing it; that was thirty years back, and they just get paid for the facts the way they got them in.
Now he’s rising and not denying. His hands are shaking, but he’s not crying.
And he’s saying
“How did I climb out of a life so boring into that moment? Please stop ignoring the heart inside, oh you readers at home! While you gasp at my bloody crimes, please take the time to make your heart my home: where I’m forgiven by time, where I’m cushioned by hope, where I’m numbed by long drives, where I’m talked off or doped. Does the heart wants to atone? Oh, I believe that it’s so, because if I could climb back through time, I’d restore their lives and then give back my own: tens of times now its size on a far distant road in a far distant time where every night I’m still crying, entirely alone.”
But the news today always fades away as you drive by, until at dinnertime when you look into her eyes, lit by evening sun - that, as usual, comes from above that straight, unbroken line, the horizon - its rising is a given, just like your living.
Your heart’s warm and kind. Your mind is your own. Our blood-spattered criminal is inscrutable; don’t worry, he won’t rise up behind your eyes and take wild control. He’s not of this time, he fell out of the hole.
I thought that you could appreciate that in contrast to the fact that I find vaginas atrocious, and made of all things unholy and disgusting, my cousin Ashley is obsessed with vaginas and likes to talk about them ALL THE TIME in graphic reverent detail. I told her I was glad to be a woman because I wouldn't have to find out how much of a chovenist man I would be. She said her life aspiration is to join an angry feminist group and to cut off my penis if I was to become a man. My family is awesome :)
Hey girl! Sorry if I was rude, I was all distracted by all the sudden company. I would love to make hangz with you girls sometime. Before or after the tour!
Omg, it's been awhile. What's happened in the last few episodes of Awesome Nikki Life that I've missed? =B I hope we can plan a get-together when I'm back home-ish and you have some free time.
Woah, haha. I looked at your top friends and I was number one, and it kinda freaked me out. I was like, "am I your bestest friend or something now?" You randomized it. Haha. So anything can happen now.
I'm going to the club tonight. So I didn't know if you were planning on going... but if you are then we might see each other. Right?
Ian got into grad school at University of WA and the Navy is letting him go (and paying him full salary too!). We'll be moving up probably in July. It's a sweet deal! I'm super excited!
I think Kat sent you a message already, but I'm planning on doing a Benny Hana's dinner for my birthday, Monday May 12 likely around 7:00-ish, your invited to come, and if you want to bring a person or two that be cool too. (note: I don't want anything but the company of my friends for my birthday, so don't worry about gifts.) If you're interseted let me know.
My face is doing fine. How is yours doing? Hehe. Tony's mom just came home and she has a friend with her who's also named Nikki. And she's blonde and looks a bit similar to you. Cloooones. Not really clones though.
If you text me on my cell phone it doesn't take minutes for some reason... if you read my blog already. So you should text me if you want to. Haha. It's endless!

Heeyyyy it says you changed your profile! Nikki updated profile! Yeah dude! I'm in your house dude! And I think you're probably being pounced by a little girl right now. Hehe. I have to go to work in the near future. >:( Angry face.
Looks like you got some internet fame. Also looks like every body wants to hang with ya too. If ya get some time I would like to drop by as well. Call me, I'm free most week days.
