“lauren will grow old while exuding complete self-content. she will get married...”
– “IX. Lauren” by Eli Skipp
Eli Skipp is both an illustrious and industrious Miami native whose positive affect on my life is so extensive, I’m sometimes embarrassed by it. I love this poem, along with many others she has penned over the last six years.

Birthday Weekend
Friday 02.17.2012
Drove twenty minutes through the fresh midnight hour to Reagan International Airport to pick Bryce up. We came home and watched last week’s episode of Shameless, before proceeding to tear it up. Passed out, tore it up some more. Fell asleep, with me as the big spoon.

There’s not much I can do from DC, but I believe in helping people in any way you can. I’m posting this here for the two or three Kansans who subscribe to my Tumblr, in the event that you might be able to provide her any clothes, school supplies or helpful...
