fariyahsn:
There are currently 2000 Palestinians on hunger strike in Israeli prisons, though judging by the lack of coverage of the story in the mainstream media you’d never know it. Two of the prisoners involved are now in a critical condition, having been on hunger strike for 60 days and counting.

Feeling incredibly jubilant and excited these days
which is rare. Nonetheless, I am truly thankful.
oh right. i keep forgetting that i’m in shit with my dad about this whole chicago thing so i’m really in no place to ask for favors at the moment. even if it is my prom dress and i’ve got 8 hours left to bid.

this dress is a motherfucking good investment.

i cant.
omg there is this perfect dress on ebay and its only $50 and i have only 8 hours to place a bid but 8 hours is not nearly enough time to convince my parents of this amazing offer.
so what if its 20 years old and has previously been owned? lol, i dont careeeee, its fucking gorgeous.

Thrift By Kerri Webster
Stranger buying a sweater, what wool does to my skin is little bumps. I am awkward with you here. Your boots, my Pyrex. Outside, the horse makes a wedge in air. I buy mercury glass, icicles hung on strings. A saddle for the rodeo, a pamphlet: Is There a Prophet in Your House? No. This belt was something’s skin. Three dollars.

it’s about that time of night where people do things like go to sleep and what not. but I’d rather stay up and contemplate my existence. wonder where I went wrong and figure out ways i can prove myself again. oh and its also that time of month where i get sick of everyone’s shit and deactivate my facebook. i just wanna go to college already. im done with all this.
Okay, I think it’s about time I stop prostituting my life on tumblr and maybe start keeping a diary. Too many people I know are following me now. LOL.
this too shall pass.
I’m gunna see if I can find a $20 prom dress on ebay just to make my parents happy.
