Spencer was planning to spend another night alone. but one might say that's how she liked it. She put steaming water into the old rusty pot that used to contain Ramen noodles. When her father was home he would say, she ate the chili ones like they were going out of style, but of course, he never said much. Every day at 8:30pm on the dot, she would get a text message from her father which would simply read, “I love you honey, don’t forget to brush your teeth, and feed the hamster,” she didn't have the heart to tell him the hamster died almost a year earlier. She thought maybe she would tell him one of these days, but today is not that day.

Just like clockwork her phone lit up, and just as expected it was her father. Over the course of his absence this had become a nightly message. Spencer sighed and got out of the chair, her old SpongeBob Pajama bottoms were ripped, and faded making the iconic character almost unrecognizable. she went into a room set down on her bed. The springs were making loud noises underneath the weight of her small frame. She carefully moved her laptop from its perch on the wicker side table, turned on YouTube to queue up her old standby, the movie adaptation of “Columbine: Zero Hour”. The teen and seen this movie enough times she could quote it. Around the time that the movie was halfway over, she took a mentholated cigarette from her hiding place which was a hidden drawer in the bedside table. She took the smoke out of the box and sighed to herself. It was her last one, she would have to go get some more in the morning. She took too long drags off the cigarette before she extinguished it on the bed post, not even giving a second thought to the fact that there was going to be small circular burn mark in the framework of her bed. By the time that her father returned to town, none of it would matter anymore. She cuddled up in her fluffy blanket and giggle to herself when she saw the all too familiar watermelon pattern printed on them. Spencer turned to face the nightstand where she had placed a single white rose which was long passed wilted and now, it was turning shades of brown and black. She could not bear to throw the one beautiful thing away, it was the one Valentine she could truly remember getting, it was given to her by a boy she barely knew, a boy who drove a BMW, a boy who often wore a Red Sox hoodie. but for some strange reason he found it in the kindness of his heart to give a flower to the girl who he would always see sitting alone in math class. This kind gesture meant the world to her. Over the course of friendly hellos, she discovered his name was Trent, this was because his father was a huge Nine Inch Nails fan. She also knew that he liked to make different kinds of pizza and post the videos of this activity on the internet. She wondered if someday he would take her for a ride in his car and get her plastic flowers so they might not start to smell as bad as the current one.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
