Hypothetics

I'd love to see the way you'd braid my hair
How your fingers would tremble after every plait
The pattern would get lost in your mind
You'd hesitate...
... And start again from scratch

I often dream of how you'd hold an instrument
In your arms,
As a child
You'd play like nobody cared about
Sour notes, and sing as if
Your pitch were perfect
I'd neglect the off keys

You'd please me a lot,
If you read books
Books that were falling apart,
Books so obscure the public library would
Blink three times and turn us away
I'd walk into your room and smell your knowledge
I'd stick my nose in between
Every volume,
And breathe in your scent

I'm sure you'd send postcards
From your travels
And memorize my home telephone
So that you could hear
My voice
So that I could hear yours
You'd write letters with a feather quill
So that you could give them to me,
The next day

My sleepless eyes wouldn't bother you
Tiptoe around my feelings,
Like a hunter at night
I'd read between your lines, as you'd speak
Cryptic messages to me,
Tangled in vines
But by the end we'd be too tired
And instead decide,
To settle down to watch a movie
The one you'd like.

I do not have time for poetry.

College is like highschool
Except with more homework
Except with more at steak
Except with no parents
And more booze
And unlimited junkfood.

I don't understand why the engineers get frosh week but the rest of us don't...

University Student here! Getting to know my way around Victoria and the campus. Getting to know some awesome people, and also getting to know some fucking loud ass people in my dorm. Like fuck you I'm studying!!! Anyway every chance we get we party our faces off here. But I feel like sometimes partying is counter productive. You never actually get to know someone while partying. That's why I'm excited for classes to get going. I wanna fucking get to know some sweet ass people. So far there's no one in my classes that I've particularly bonded with. Don't worry though I've made friends. There's Emily, who I knew would be my bff the first night. Like it was blatantly obvious we were meant for each other. She's exactly like me but somehow way more fucking hilarious and stylish. And then there's Noah who me and Emily met that first night. Tall lanky kid from Salt Spring Island, probably hasn't been properly introduced to technology, quasi-hippie, kind of hilarious. And then there's Vanessa. She's super sweet and easy to talk to and get along with and she's super fucking beautiful like Im so effing jealous GTFO. So this be my crew, although none of them are in my faculty. So i figure I need to open up my metaphorical doors and see who else is out there. It's only the first week. I'm sure it'll be fine.
