About to be a sophmore and I still have the same crush
How did I go through preschool, elementary, and middle school, and never have a single crush that whole time, and then a month after starting freshman year, I suddenly have a gosh dang massive crush on a boy I've already known for 2 years?
Also help we made eye contact offstage during play practice and I broke it off 😭
Everyone hating one person is literally not how it works. Yell 'I'm being goob' in your head come on
sometimes when I’m being especially self deprecating and convinced no one likes me I have to tell myself “you’re being goob. you are being goob right now”
We tried once
To be a normal family
Took a photo with all of the aunts and everyone lined up
Arms over each other's shoulders
That picture is on the wall now
And for it having my family in it, how it makes me think of them, I like it
But I don't like it
For how it makes us look normal.
We don't put our arms over each other's shoulders
We lie on top of each other
Foot in my eye
I'm lying on your spleen
And we hug by squeezing like we'll never let go
I called you a cheese earlier, and it's because I love you that we talk this way
And I wanted cheese
Built a tower from cans and posed
And that's how we say 'i love you'
'i love you' and 'i know' on the poster on your wall
I quote it to make a reference, because I've read it a hundred times,
But I don't like Star Wars.
One way or another, maybe our family is especially odd.
But I don't think normal is real.
We relate oddly, like everyone else.
I don't have aunties
I have aunts
Maybe you have aunties, but you're no more normal than I.
Merry Christmas.

A video is leaked of Batman deep into a lecture rant. Of course it has to be him repremanding any of the kids and teens he works with right?
Wrong. In the last second the camera pans to show Superman and some other Leaguers.
The Batkids uploaded the video.
