Going to Reardan this is how he coped
(Alye and Noah)At the beginning they called him a traitor
The tune they sang: (Alye) "You're an Indian hater!"
(Rina)They called him an apple
With lots of sneers and jeers
My Puffy Different Kinds of Hair!
Thu, 10/08/2009 - 20:46 — kdoherty-james2016
My hair is part of my identity. People would not recognize me without my curly hair. When I had my hair straightened once my friend looked at me in a confused way and asked me, "What's happened to you?? Something doesn't look right!”
The Sports Guy
Thu, 10/08/2009 - 20:44 — nkoy2016There's a guy that sits on the bench outside the bar next to my house. He always has a cigar in his hand. He never stops it, that cigar in his mouth and his raspy voice chattering about sports. Whenever I walk by, he's always blowing on that cigar. It's as if he's the only one on this planet, blowing away by himself. He always has beer to go along, like ornaments on a Christmas tree.
My Favorite Place In The World: Greenwich Village
Thu, 10/08/2009 - 20:41 — hbelhumeur2016I have lived in Greenwich Village all my life, that I can remember at least. But it's not a village, it's a neighborhood,where the buildings are old, and small, definitely not like the skyscrapers, who are so tall they seem to have been stretched. My neighborhood's buildings are quiet and respectful, living in their calm manner, like a pond. My apartment is two floored, with big windows. Big windows to see the world -my world- out of.
For the Love of Candy
Fri, 10/09/2009 - 05:17 — alink2016Since last Thursday, I go home by myself. And since last Tuesday, when I missed my stop on the bus, I go to the little deli with a counter of candy. On Tuesday I got Big Red cinnamon gum, on Wednesday I got Now&Later that everyone fought over at Thursday lunch, but today I don't know what to get.
