    Update: He actually DID decide to go! FML Well, his date didn't get flowers, goddamnit and I completely fucking FORGOT that when you drop off your kid you MUST go into the family's home for pictures in front of the fireplace with 5 other kids. Jessica, the hostess, (I was so afraid there were going to be cheese and crackers put out on a table! I mean, that's what we'd do in Pennsylvania...but, anyway....) Jessica is super nice. Super young. Super pretty. Totally hip. Talks quickly about her job, then moves on to focus, again, on the kids. Oh, what about me?

    I was standing there in blue stretched out yoga pants and a too fucking tight low-cut t-shirt that had a Seahawks logo on it. Sneakers. I was wearing SNEAKERS people! So ashamed. My hair, oh God - I'd just bleached it and my roots got hot (they turned orange.) I hadn't had time to tone it so I was so rushed! But yet, there I stood in her perfect house, trying to hide by standing next to (behind) my husband for the most part.

    Okay, so the good things. His outfit from his "End of the Year" dance still fit him and fit the theme of Homecoming since the vest and tie were purple (one of his school colors.) He had a date. He met up with 6 friends, and he had a blast at that dance.

    I told him he should go. ;)

Hey, thanks for this comment. That was cool of you. I'm really sorry that I had to moderate it, but if I don't then the comment section would be full of links to porn, pills, and some other just awful things. I'll approve your comment if it's legitimate (but no judgment on what you say, personally - I'll be as unbiased as humanly possible.)

Thanks for visiting my blog, Strange Night Words where I share random sentences that are odd, mean more than they appear to mean, funny, depressing, or sometimes even educational!

Duende. It’s sometimes argued that this is the most difficult Spanish word to translate into English.

Duende It’s sometimes argued that this is  the most difficult Spanish word to translate into English . Why? In  Spanish literature , especially  poetry , this word is used very often to describe how a person feels about nature. However, especially in Spain, it can be used to describe an indescribable charm or magic that isn’t limited to nature. You might hear about the  duende  of flamenco singing, for example. Duende  —  The feeling of awe and inspiration had, especially when standing in nature. The overwhelming sense of beauty and magic.

“Grief, when it comes, is nothing like we expect it to be.”

Joan Didion observed this disorienting fact in her classic memoir of loss : “Grief, when it comes, is nothing like we expect it to be.” And when it does come, it unweaves the very fabric of our being. When love is lost, we lose the part of ourselves that did the loving — a part that, depending on the magnitude of the love, can come to approximate the whole of who we are. I have been missing my father very much lately, and this quote really touched me.
