futurebestseller4:

So now that I’ve run around campus telling COMPLETE strangers that my friend is a published author and waving this book in peoples faces… I feel as if I need to tell you all this. MY FRIEND MEGAN FALLEY JUST GOT AN ENTIRE BOOK OF POETRY PUBLISHED. This is the woman who originally got me into poetry. I still remember that day she came into my creative writing class all badass telling us about the epicness that is performance poetry and I remember thinking THAT…THAT IS WHAT I WANT TO DO. Now I do it… her poems were that great. So you should go to amazon…NOW and order it. 

Write this down… Megan Falley After the Witch Hunt. Got it? Now go order it. I’m gonna go read it. 

i love this. i love you. i love that little old me inspired the greatness that is YOU. also, totes agree about the whole buying thing.

Dad: So what are you going to do this week until your graduation?

Dad: So what are you going to do this week until your graduation?

Me: Well, Megan comes on Wednesday!

Dad: But what are you going to do until then?

Me:...wait.

say hello to the newest member of the louderARTS slam team (hey, that's ME.)

After the grueling game that is slamming in The louderARTS Project semis & finals (which requires nine different poems, two ONE MINUTES, one two minute, a friggin FORM poem, and five traditional 3 minute pieces—-is there any other venue that dedicated to deep pockets?) the team is this: Jamaal May, Mokgethi Thinane, Jared Singer, and Myself. Here, the self-deprecating writer takes a turn at a victory dance: Hallefreakinlujah. WHAT A TEAM.

“thinking of me

while inside another woman

must feel like sitting in the new neighbor’s dining room,

saying you preferred the people who lived there

before.”

- megan falley, “bringing over the jell-o mold” from “after the witch hunt” (via humanshumans)

Why "douchebag" is an awesome insult:

niaili:

When you call someone a douchebag, what you’re literally saying to them is,

“You think you’re so great, but your existence is actually totally unnecessary and your main function is probably toxic. Also you shouldn’t be allowed near anyone’s genitalia.”
