Inside the Riptide: Sans Comic or Comic Sans?
Five weeks into the Wave, and I’ve already gathered fun moments and learned more about the Wavers’ own individual art styles. Hanging out at the Wave gives me the opportunity to see everyone’s personalities express through their columns. An example that happened recently was that Sammi and Jacob were arguing over whether the font […]
Pasted Mind: self-poisoning, pink
It was quite difficult to figure out which poem I wanted to use for my last collage of the summer. All the ones I had in mind were either too short, not edited enough, or so old that I didn’t like them anymore. What I ended up doing instead was combining two poems – one […]
Pasted Mind: aliens anonymous
If you asked me what, exactly, this poem is about, I couldn’t fully tell you. Not because it’s a grand secret or anything, just because I honestly don’t know. I love the aesthetic of space and the stars, and my dad and I are both conspiracy theorists at heart, so I think it was inevitable […]
Pasted Mind: pollinated in eden

It has gone through countless edits while still maintaining the same mystical, nature-y, nostalgic tone I aimed for. I wrote it about my […]
Pasted Mind: road trips to remember my life is not as big as i think it is
I wrote this poem based on a prompt asking me to “write about the summer using all five senses.” Of course, since the first draft, the poem has gone through many edits, and now only vaguely follows the prompt. The inspiration was a memory I have from summer of seventh grade, when I lived in […]
Pasted Mind: snake skin
I’m back for the SMW summer with more poetry than ever! Over the 2018-19 school year, I’ve written and workshopped a lot more full-length poetry. For these next posts, I’ll take some poem excerpts to collage with, and post the whole poem underneath. I performed this piece for my spring Spoken Arts show, and it’s […]
A Comedian’s Guide to Being Funny : Uber Rides, More Pages and Playing on Words
Warning! This post won’t make sense if you haven’t seen the previous post! (Unless you’re cool and you don’t accept handouts from anyone.) After my second encounter with the Jugular, my escape was not as magical as I hoped it would be. Getting an Uber back to the SSB (Super Secret Base) in black clothes, […]
