Stop reading the currant bun and go up the apples. Let's all get in the jam and not bother with a sherbet.

Some back story: I had never sewed before, but for my anniversary with my boyfriend, I figured I'd make him something awesome. Usually, I bake customized cakes or cook fancy gourmet meals for loved ones during celebratory events, but my boyfriend lacks both a sweet tooth and a taste for fancy food. The only other options I had were to buy something, sculpt something, or to venture into something I have never done before and sew together a plush. I chose to get out of...

Whether through happenstance or artifice, the system that contains and supports us split our people into two distinct strata. Those who were gifted with superior intellect, grace, and charm became members of the Upper Class. They used their influence and wealth to direct and entertain the people of the Lower Class, who turned the gears of our great machine with their blood, sweat, and tears. The Lower Class multiplied and thrived, ...

But it changes too, with every nanosecond, appearing differently at every dawn; a star that we know will one day disappear into the billions-years outflow of energy that feeds terrestrial life. I posit that the only thing that has ever and will always, and upon which the delusion of dimension and infinity is imprinted, is nothingness.

I was immediately enamored of her gregariousness and penchant for smiling. She had been in the wedding party and was wearing a lovely summer dress during the festivities after the wedding itself. She had tattoos and cute feet and a fantastic smile. My date to said festivities warned me to stay away from the aforementioned young woman.

Among them, various sauces from the local Taco Bell in graduating degrees of heat, (so much) soy sauce in tiny clear packets, and catsup (ketchup) from the Chick-Fil-A. Now, I'm not a fan of the Chick-Fil-A. Don't get me wrong, I like a good chicken sandwich just as much as the next playing unit, but the food at the local Chick-Fil-A has the sour taste of bigotry and homophobia on it. Even...

It was from California, but I picked it up at the local Whole Foods. The orange, as you may know, is covered in a rind which is bitter and tough. Very tough. Not at all soft. But, with some basic earth magic, I was able to alter the rind of the orange and make it soft. I placed it with another orange in a cool, dark place and cast my spell. Within a matter of a few short days the orange was covered in a soft, white layer of delicious penicillin, which I am horribly alle...
