I remember making a trip up from home back to college in my old-as-dirt RX-7 (first gen) which is very prone to over-heating when sitting around idling. The drive had been going well enough until about 50 miles out from my destination when I hit stand still traffic. This was a very hot summer day [...]

Three years ago back in high school there was this girl I would always look at, across from me in my math class. She would stare, then I would stare, and we’d do our own little secret language made up of facial expressions and hand gestures. Pig snorts, bird calls, fake signing that we [...]

This is a hard one. Sit down, this might take a while. Anyway, me and a friend we’ll call Fred had just left a Best Buy. In my hand was Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas Towards Heaven by GY!BE. Fred had This Binary Universe by BT. We were driving back to his place in [...]

the original idea. – Anonymous 07/30/08(Wed)23:26:01 No.1206790 After reading that super depressing “meanest thing said to you” thread, I felt like starting one with a somewhat opposite topic: What’s the closest you’ve ever felt to someone without even speaking to them (or even having seen, as will be in my story). When I graduated from [...]
