My Pal Paper

Paper and I have been friends since I was young 

I would spend time telling paper stories and my days events 

Paper would tell me stories too, and I always enjoyed our time together

We imagined things together, talked things through, took a blank space and filled it with creation

As I got older, paper grew distant and I'm not sure how it all happened 

I guess life became occupied with more things that didn't involve paper 

It became harder and harder to get that relationship back

I saw paper less and less

No matter how hard I try it just doesn't seem the same now

I sometimes wish I could go back and fix things

Typos, grammar errors, misspellings, mishaps

But things made in ink are not so easy to erase

Sorry if no one "gets" this post. There have been countless times where things are swirling around in my brain like crazy and I've wanted to post but worried about the opinions and thoughts of others or me being too weird/abstract with thoughts. But I'm trying to have a new outlook on that idea. After all, it is my blog right? I should be able to post whatever I like. Sometimes it just makes your head feel more at peace to write things down, you know? Even if it doesn't always really make sense. Maybe now I can go to sleep.

Things about Matt

So every time I write a blog, Matt's ongoing joke is to ask me if I'm blogging about him. Since I haven't blogged in a while and I've been stuck on something to write about, I figured I'd do just that, blog about Matt. So here are some randoms about him.

-His salad dressing of choice is vinaigrette

-He hates flip flops

-He is of Italian and German descent

-He has blue eyes

-He loves chocolate cake and hates sour cream and pineapple

-He is very picky about his shirt collars

-He could probably eat pasta salad every day

-He can spend hours fixing up his car and thinking of new ways to modify it

-He can often find interesting ways to fix something so that it works

-He has broken two bones, his arm and his collar bone

-He made a dress shirt for himself and a skirt for me in a sewing class in high school. and yes i did wear the skirt, it was cute.

-He played ice hockey as a child, lacrosse in high school, and currently plays in a men's roller hockey league.

-His favorite colors are red and black

He is not a big movie buff but if he's going to watch a movie, he enjoys comedies

-He generally doesn't care what people think about him - a pro and sometimes a con of his personality

-He has a certain strangeness about him that is hard to describe and usually involves his sense of humor and explains his randomness. If you know him well enough, you understand it and know what I am talking about. 

I love this boy
