My cosmos is so much more relevant than yours.
It lies, shattered.
Yesterday, the second-cutest girl in my bio class, Gretchen, finally realized I'm alive, which is, like, ironic. I've been staring at the back of her head for years, and fantasizing what it would be like to die with her. Or maybe it's only been a few weeks — I can't tell, sometimes weeks feel like years to me. I knew she was a beautiful, unique, tormented spirit, just like me, because her hair is the same shade of raven as mine, and she wears it combed across her head so that it all falls in a graceful arc just above her jaw. And there are tiny bulges under her shirt, which I'm pretty sure are nipple piercings. She passed me a note over the dead frog we were sharing, and for a heartbreakingly small moment, the darkness in my world melted. And then I opened the note and read it, and the darkness settled back like black rain falling on paper shards. It was a poem. It made me feel cold inside. Well, colder than usual.

Yesterday's Featured Article - Frog Semen
Frog Semen is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores, restaurants and vending machines worldwide (the Frog Semen Company claims that it is sold in over 200 countries). It is produced by the Frog Semen Incorporated in the rainforests of South America and is often referred to simply as Semen or (in European and American countries) as Frog Sperm or Amphibijizz. Originally intended as a practical joke when it was invented in the late 20th century by Sir Martin Frogg, Frog Semen escalated into so much more following its purchase and introduction to the worldwide market by Vomit Inducers Corporation, later known as Frog Semen Company.
The Frog Semen Company has, on occasion, introduced other cola drinks under the Frog Semen brand name. The most common of these is Diet Frog Semen, which has become a major dietetary semen product. However, others exist, including Caffeine-Free Frog Semen, Diet Frog Semen Caffeine-Free, Cherry Frog Semen, Frog Semen Zero, Vanilla Frog Semen and special editions with lemon and with lime and even with coffee.
