trifolium repens
I have one memory of my Uncle Billy. At least I think it’s a memory or it could be a dream that I remember, I’m not sure. See, my Uncle Billy, he was one of the two youngest boys in my mom’s family. He was a for sure wild child, a hell raiser, a dare [...]

I was an afterschool special Part I edited and Part II electric boogaloo
So I had this really great high school boyfriend. Anthony Arena. I mean as far as high school boyfriends go, Anthony was pretty great. He made me laugh all the time, it’s pretty much all we did, besides make out and do it. He was the guy that for my birthday gave me a [...]
