Everyone Superhero Needs an Accomplice

They called him Superman.

Everyone did.

No one should have done so well

With a heart so broken.

But he did.

Because he is Superman.

Superman is really Clark Kent, hiding behind a mask, so maybe no one knows how great he is.

Sometimes what the comics leave out is the one who never needs to put on a mask.

Maybe Superman was saving the world, but there is always someone else.

While Superman was healing, his heart becoming whole again, his energy returning...

While Superman was going to therapy or the local coffee shop or eating dinner at home...

While Superman was doing this there was another hero who must be mentioned.

Superman has Lois Lane and that is who you are.

Not so long ago Lois Lane was sitting at Superman's side, through the many hours.

But now the roles have flipped and Lois Lane is the one laying with the broken heart.

We could not have a Lois Lane without a Superman.

So the comics wrote it in that Superman would live.

We cannot have a Superman without a Lois Lane.

We need the comics once again,

To give us back a superhero.

So hold on Lois Lane.

Hold on as Superman did for you.

Be the hero we have always known you to be.

Someday soon we will have Superman and Lois Lane

Broken hearts healed

Two as one, once again,

Back where we need you both to be.

Hold on Lois Lane

The comic books have not written your end yet.

Hold on Lois Lane,

We still need you here.

Sunday Letters

Dear Weekend, Your last few days have included a date night, spending an entire Saturday at the high school to work ballots for the Kid's debate, going to bed when it was already tomorrow and a 33 page paper compiled and written. Exhaustion is so underrated right now. Dear Midnight Showing, I got to see Dawn Treader with you, in 3D nonetheless. Chaperoned dates are hilarious. Dear School, Praise God (seriously) that I go on break in five days. FIVE DAYS! Dear Kid, Happy 18 Bup! Now stop growing up and start growing down. Dear Church, I most definitely chose my bed over you this morning, it was the only means of functioning. Dear Snow, I love, love, love thee. Please keep falling so I can relish in your beauty and your intoxicating scent.

Peace.

Sunday Letters

Dear Snow, Have I told you lately how much I love you lately? You make the air smell good, the world look pretty, and the nostalgic feelings very apparent. Dear Harry Potter, You have had a marathon on all weekend... love it! Dear 3am, 4 am, and 5 am, I have very much not liked seeing you this past week. Stop being the only time for school work. Dear Best Friend, You can stop being so grown up and a real live person now. Dear Dunkin Donuts, Your vanilla chai makes my mornings, afternoons, and evenings so much better. Not only do you taste like magic but you give me the caffeine I need so desperately (stupid word... hard to spell or something). Dear People, I know I look awful and beyond tired... thanks for pointing it out once again. Dear Christmas Break, I am sure I will love more than my Red Sox Rubik's Cube, drumming headphones and sunset pictures. Just sayin'. Dear Snow (yup, I love you that much), If the feet of snow expected to come through this week means less hours at work I would be okay with that.

Peace.

A Whole Lot of Random

I don't really have anything in depth today, nor any good letters. Instead, I think I will just go random, especially as that is how my brain works. Ready? Great! Please keep all hands, feet, and all other body parts in the vehicle at all times.

• When I clap for more than 20-30 seconds my hands become itchy
• White fudge oreos will be the death of me. Praise God they are only seasonal cookies
• I have lived in 20% of the US and I am only 23.... in the end that equals out to about 1 state every 2.33 years. That may not be right but just go with it... mental math may or may not be my strong suit
• I want a tattoo, I think
• I tend to collect water bottles the current count: 2 Nalgenes, 2 Siggs, 1 Camelback, 1 blue one with a straw, 1 blue one from Northwestern (I think)
• Accents make anyone cooler... that is accents from anywhere other than the US (excluding Boston)
• When I go on my three week break from school I will do nothing but read books, sleep, read books, take pictures, sleep, work, and then probably read books
• Numbers are either good or bad but typically not both. 5 is a good number, 13 is a bad number, 18 is a good number, 47 is a bad number
• Snow has a distinct scent and it smells good. Don't argue. Its true.
• When I finish school I want to work with kids with autism.
• I am procrastinating working on school right now because my brain is fried, something the last 8 weeks did to me.
• I am going to go write a paper now

Peace.
