I read somewhere that the only reason you're told to tuck your head between your knees in preparation for a plane crash is so that your death will be fast as opposed to drawn out. The angle of your neck, the way it bows down towards the floor, allows for a quick snapping of the vertebral column. They don't mention this in addition to their instructions though, obviously, to stop the spread of panic. I think I'd rather die panicking.
My teacher stood at the front of the room, waving his chalk like a fucking pretentious maestro. I stared at him hard, hoping he'd catch my scathing gaze and get thrown off. He avoided my eyes like the plague. I have always had that effect on people.
I used to think I was invincible until the night my father died. We were riding the train from Chicago back to our shit-hole town, and a tiny imperfection in the track derailed us. We sailed straight off and rolled two times before landing on our right side. The windows exploded like Molotov cocktails and flying glass hit my dad right in the throat. It severed his jugular completely. It could have been me, but we made a deal to take turns sitting by the window. It took them three fucking hours to get me out of there. My eyes never left my father's face.
Karl Marx. Communism. Literature. Censorship. Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. Dr. Hawkins moved back and forth, animated. His pretty boy hair shone like gold. His shampoo probably cost twelve dollars, at least. The girl next to me sniffed her nose for the tenth fucking time in a minute. I resisted the urge punch her in the throat.
I just can't masturbate properly anymore, not since I opened the trunk of my grandfather's car only to find my younger brother's blue, engorged face staring up at me. Every time I start to cum, I get this mental image of him screaming for help as his young body is penetrated to the point of hemorrhaging. I see my grandfather bashing his skull in with a heavy iron pipe. I see him struggle. I see him bleed. Don't get me wrong, it's not that it won't physically come out; it's just that I can't stand the guilt of liking it.
"I hope you're working diligently on those papers..." he mocked. Fuck that dumbass paper. Fuck symbolism. Fuck Plath. I know the fucking fig tree Plath, I know better than you ever did. I am a fruit from its rotten branch. This stupid fucking research paper should be my autobiography.
I tried to bleach my hair when I turned twelve. It burned so bad that I curled up in a corner and cried the entire forty minutes. When I finally washed it out there was a rash over my entire neck and forehead. My scalp was covered in blisters. My hair was an angry shade of orange. It hurt more dying it black again than it did to bleach it, and I was out fifty fucking dollars.
He dismissed us with a wave of his manicured hand. I assumed crash position as I gathered my books. Anticipating pizza rolls and internet porn, I managed to keep from panicking the entire way home.

There's this one girl on mythbusters that's really cute.
But I don't particularly care for that show.
