Companionable Ills: Going To College Makes Your Siblings Less Tolerable!
http://companionableills.blogspot.com/2009/05/going-to-college-makes-your-siblings.html
Saturday, May 9, 2009. Going To College Makes Your Siblings Less Tolerable! The degree of bratty entitlement in those few statements floors me. I’ve been reflecting these last few weeks on whether or not I’ll come home “different,” and I didn’t really feel like college changed me until I had this conversation. By the way, how are you?

Monday, September 1, 2008. Hold On, We're Morons". SoCI: I'm at college! I don't have tons of time to write/edit right now so here's a shorter, rougher essay with too many underdeveloped theses and no focus. To my old readers: I miss you guys! To my new readers: hope you like this. My goofy IB stories can be found in the archives, if that's what you're here for.). They're selling t-shirts and magnets. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Companionable Ills: February 2009
http://companionableills.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 22, 2009. Treehouse pt. 1. Was trying to pull off a sort of Half-Asleep in Frog Pajamas deal where serious philosophy comes across smoothly in some broken-sage character's dialogue, but it turns out I'm not really Tom Robbins, and this came out a little heavy-handed. Still, I'm proud of the narrative voice. It's a longer piece, so part 2 will come next week.). When I came home Max was still in the treehouse and the policeman had left. I went outside and asked Max if it was really aga...

Companionable Ills: I'm not even going to try go after "douchebag"...
http://companionableills.blogspot.com/2009/02/im-not-even-going-to-try-go-after.html
Friday, February 13, 2009. I'm not even going to try go after "douchebag". The other day I saw a boy on campus drop his phone, watch it bounce off the sidewalk, and exclaim “balls! 8221; It struck me as weird, because if you think about it, he’s saying “I am comparing an unfortunate circumstance to a part of my anatomy! It could also be that female-centered language is more specific. To say that someone “is acting like a girl” directly attributes whatever bad behavior they are engaging in...Are girls bei...

Thursday, February 19, 2009. This is a poem. I am not very good at poetry. I will be performing at my school's next poetry slam, and after that, I'll put up the slam poems. But not before.). She was in his hands. But she was not putty. She was not clay. Instead, melted wax. Edges quick to harden. And as she cooled. She held the mark. Of every ridged fingerprint.

Companionable Ills: The Opposite Of True Love Is As Follows: REALITY!
http://companionableills.blogspot.com/2009/02/opposite-of-true-love-is-as-follows.html
Sunday, February 15, 2009. The Opposite Of True Love Is As Follows: REALITY! Title taken from "We Are All Accelerated Readers" by Los Campesinos. We were making chocolate-covered Ritz cookies. My brother spilled some peppermint extract on the table, it smelled incredibly strong, and I thought I'd do a character-sketch of a girl who wears some sort of extract instead of perfume. I think Elea is the type of girl who would pose for a Vice photo shoot.). 8220;I think your coffee is ready.”. She followed me a...

Companionable Ills: May 2009

Tuesday, May 12, 2009. Exploring, pt 2: flowers. Yeah, I know this reads like a (pretty boring) story. Trust me, it's just a setup for later installments where I actually discuss this stuff. When we got to the UU church, the first thing we both noticed was the abundance of brochures, pamphlets and posters, all about things like gay marriage, global warming, religious tolerance, feeding the homeless, protesting the war, etc. He was immediately wowed. “This is nothing.
