    Moochers are the friends that expect your left overs and thrive on doing the minimum of what 's demanded of them. "Cheap, lazy, and selfish" seems to be their motto. Not to be depended on for giving 100%, they can still be decent friends. Going above and beyond for your special needs may not be their field of expertise, but if you just need to vent your thoughts about an exhausting day then they would suffice. This type of personality, depending on the severity, can make a relationship almost impossible if the “mooching” becomes too common. Nobody wants to go out for a weekend of fun with someone who is always begging them for money. A sure fire way of spotting a moocher is when they swear by the phrase, "I 'll pay you back, I swear!" Females fall into this trap of only inviting certain people when they need something from them. These friends are episodic friends. Close to the concept of a moocher, episodic friends are more frustrating. They are not dependable and pop in and out like a mole rat in the arcade game whack-a-mole. They may call you and make plans but then turn around and cancel because a more exciting friend became available. Episodic people keep friends on back-burners for when they need them. Treating friends like scraps of leftover food is not an effective way to make life-long, quality…

    “I’ll do whatever you say from now on, please.” Robbie knew the teenage girl has a crush on him. He softened his stance. “You dove into the ocean without telling me, Yasmin. We were twenty miles out. Ever seen a teenage girl bitten in half by a Great White?” Yasmin joked, “Yes, in that movie that comes on at one in the morning, Jaws.” Everybody laughed. Robbie was not amused, “Yeah, the Stephen Spielberg movie Jaws… Remember the scene when she was eaten, that could have been you.” Yasmin hugs…

    jumped into the shower and got out 10 minutes later. 'What the hell do I wear? Are we going somewhere nice or casual? Should I text her and see? Fuck it, I 'll surprise her. ' Carmilla decided to wear her black skinny jeans with the tear on the kneecaps, her leather boots, and a black top that slightly showed off her stomach. She had the abs, so why not impress Laura?

    of comfort I would have that day. Years passed, and the same routine occurred. Go to school, do homework, get in trouble, bawl my eyes out with a single look from my father, never get into trouble (excluding the one time I stole from Target). Eventually little crybaby Kathryn got her crap together and decided crying and being awkward consistently was probably not the best thing. However, because my childhood was filled with rules and regulations for being a "respectable young lady", I never…

    *Kory, that I drawn to from the beginning. I really don’t know how to explain it but I just felt like I was meant to know him and to help him. He had these sad eyes that seemed to be crying for help. One thing I learned about Kory early on, is that you never know which version of him you are going to get. Some days he would be talkative, rambunctious, and completely lacking self-control, causing him to get in trouble for talking or walking around and touching everything. Other days he would be…

    Holden struggles with seeing others losing their purity and gets angry at the sight of it. “Somebody'd written 'Fuck you' on the wall. It drove me damn near crazy. I thought how Phoebe and all the other little kids would see it, and how they'd wonder what the hell it meant, and then finally some dirty kid would tell them…and how they'd all think about it and maybe even worry about it for a couple of days” (201). Holden is annoyed at any sign of what could cause kids to lose what makes them…

    This was my exit. I had skipped breakfast and at that time my stomach had began to rumble. Not far off the highway I spotted a quaint home that had been transformed into a diner. I decided to stop. An elderly woman with bouffant silver hair, wearing a blue checked dress and apron greeted me at the door with a smile before seating me. It was as if I had stepped back into an old movie or perhaps a doorway into the past. Upon the waitress’s instance, I ordered the daily special. It was a…
