I have a mind like William Burroughs but a body like Shirley Temple. My name is Leah, and I'm not here to be extraordinary. I'm simply just here.

I’m always craving your fingers

       tracing my body’s outline in that

         z

                     i

                              g

                         z

               a

                    g

manner 

      whispering into my ear

 tugging pieces of my hair

   sending chills up my spine with every beat

gatsby: hey i just met you
gatsby: and this is crazy
gatsby: but i'm going to spend most of my life and wealth in an attempt to pursue you for your stunning vapidness and the warped image of yourself created in my mind as a precursor to my eventual fall
gatsby: so call me maybe

I love your laugh and my laugh together. I love it when you reach your hand out when I step away as we’re walking. I love it when I first see you and always run and jump into your arms. I love grabbing your jaw and kissing you. I love going into Whole Foods with you. I love it when you lift me up so I can touch the rim and dunk it. I love it when you wrap your arms around me practically twice. I love it when we communicate in every way except normal. I love how you let nothing get to you. I love how everyone tells me we’re crazy and the same person. I love getting on top of things and doing bird calls with you. I love how you always carry my purse and yell “Indiana Jones has one!” I love how your immense practical sense makes up for my nonexistent practical sense. I’ve loved these eight months. I love you.

Hormone Hatchery
Our pituitary gland produces hormones that control bodily functions including growth, temperature, sex drive and the conversion of food into energy. Any malfunction can have dire consequences for health. The gland is hard to study in action, however, being no bigger than a pea and located in a bony cavity at the base of the brain. Animals with more accessible endocrine systems can provide useful insights into how hormones are produced, transported and released in parts of the body where they are needed. Here, we see an x-organ sinus gland of a crab – there is one in each eyestalk – preparing to release hormones, packaged into little balls (stained blue), into the bloodstream. While the human pituitary gland behaves in a similar way, further comparisons are limited because the crab’s hormones control shell shedding, buoyancy and change of body colour.

Austin and I went mini golfing yesterday. This photo explains way too much, mainly how we behave on a normal basis together with the added caption that cracks me up.
