i have nothing against the emo species, really.
how do you define emo anyway? the term is so ambiguous. it can refer to a punk sub-genre (speaking of which, the term “sub-genre” is being used to death nowadays without anyone actually understanding the precise etymology of it. i’ve even heard things being described as sub-sub genre. [...]

mono no aware
Amidst the vulgar sensory assault of Tokyo, she stood there transfixed, and staring – a white cat, whiter than the first flakes of winter and seemingly calmer than a fjord on a windless summer, meandered its way sultrily around hastily-paced legs oblivious to its insignificant presence.

the power of one
just one errant colleague to
1. stink up the office with his chicken rice (the pantry is there for a reason dummy)

love, revisited
she sits with chair tucked so closely in that it constricts her breathing, her naked massive bosom with the elongated dark nipples resting obscenely on the teakwood. where the fuck have you been, she snarls, her virginia slims (a futile attempt at being prim, really) resting languidly between her chapped lips. her husband, an ugly [...]
