Helen tried to be a poet and spoke of duct-taped glass

You can’t say ‘slut’… it’s demeaning to women, and sex-negative in general. Why must we as a society subscribe to archaic Puritan Values as it relates to sexuality, which makes up a great deal of the thread of our culture anyhow?

Helen Everbach, vintage style, opinionated, shallow organics, hipster ambition

Fruit Tart: sweet, and made up of slang that together means homo and overly sexual

Backwards in a ‘cool’ way, finding space for difference, subscribing to stereotypes, well-ironed, an iron will, other people’s ironing board

‘crap that you can’t say to teachers’, pretentious egalitarian, pessimistic idealist, 5’3” with bleached bangs, eccentrically usual, unusually welcoming for the owner of a clique… deceptively lesbian, surprisingly Religious, with a freckle on left ring-finger toe

Fiercely anti-loyalist, loyal to a fault, faulted

hella straight for a gay girl, hella moderate for a UU, hella UU for a public school

Has a predilection for parallel structure

Anti-political, politically correct, polytheist, polyatomic, polygon… no, not that one.

Known as the one who will give accurate sex advice and who always has free condoms to give away

            Jellyfish: all the kids think it’s cool, but the parents say to stay away

Haver of bad handwriting, wisher not a dreamer, the sum of parts, the product of ‘parts’, the hater of math, a watcher of YouTube

prejudiced to the prejudiced

dancer, singer, talker, crier, sneezer (occasionally)

diseased, un-icky, unique
