                <description><![CDATA[ Right. So it has been a very, very, very long time since I have last updated this page of mine. I have been so preoccupied with school and poetry gigs that I have been all but nonexistent online.<br /><br />So, in light of all the events that had recently filled up every waking moment of my free time I am now coming back to Da with a goal. <br /><br />To keep myself active, I'd like to read at least ten poems of my watchers a day. Also, Photography spams my mail box and for every ten that spam my inbox I will look at them all and comment on my favorite. Albeit, if there are more then one that I fancy I will comment on them all. <br /><br />Now, for the creative spark I require to stay active on Da. I'd like to update at a minimum of three poems a week. I write like a madwoman and would like so very much to enlighten the poets of Da to my recent dilly dallyings in the written word. <br /><br />So, hit me up with your beautiful works of creativity and I will be sure to crtitique my little heart away. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> <br /><br />Forgive my tomfollery lovely's. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

Ragged Edge in Gettysburg. <3 Great poetry community, btw. My professor really appreciates my work, and is helping me submit it too uptenth different contests and magazines and such. I just have to find the time to sit down and let the hits come. =] *Tis a bit Lazy* <br /><br />I havent been very active on Da and I can tell by the amount of comments on my pieces. =[ I will definately be making an effort tonight to see to all of the deviations I have piled up!<br /><br />So, just as a shout out, I'm around. Just slightly dsitracted with school and work, hapkido and softball...and belly dancing. So, have patience with me <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br />~ Claudia <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/glomp.gif" width="47" height="20" alt=":glomp:" title="Glomp!" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/glomp.gif" width="47" height="20" alt=":glomp:" title="Glomp!" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/glomp.gif" width="47" height="20" alt=":glomp:" title="Glomp!" /><br /><br />btw, check this poet out.

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, it has been...more then a month since my last post on here! Ye gods! Obviously you can tell I have been busy! I think right now my poems to read amounts to a shocking 550 and comments 250. *dies* I'm going tp be busy on Da, haha. <br /><br />It is valentines week! Do you remember last febuary? Was it amazing? sad? happy? etc? Would you be inspired to write a poem about it? If so, I am prompting you now to write a poem and send me a link to it! The theme is valentines day: the only holiday focusing on the sappyness of love. Or if you so wish it, the satire of love: beat it up! <br /><br />I will be checking soon as many poems as I can, but along with softball I have hapkido classes...so, I will try my hardest!<br /><br />~Courtney <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> <br /><br />p.s, ELLI, note me <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=(" title="=( (Sad)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I apologize so much to my readers and Da friends. I have been so uterly disgusted with many things, and Da could never hold my interest for more then a second. So I took a break to fix my ways of thinking on certain things, wrote some amazing pieces, and am back full force to show them to the world, and crtique my little black heart away! I have porse and poetry and soon coming, sonnets and sattire. I want my new project to be a sonnet sequence. Not naything too big to start with. Maybe seven sonnets, and then i'll move on to 77 when im ready to in the far future, after many other projects. I am also uploading a declaration of independence! it is amazing, and original. Check it out! I will be on very much soonish, as in tommorrow. I love you all. Let the fun begin!<br />

"Your Guardian Angel"<br />
<br />
When I see your smile<br />
Tears run down my face I can't replace<br />
And now that I'm strong I have figured out<br />
How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul<br />
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one<br />
<br />
I will never let you fall<br />
I'll stand up with you forever<br />
I'll be there for you through it all<br />
Even if saving you sends me to heaven<br />
<br />
It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.<br />
Seasons are changing<br />
And waves are crashing<br />
And stars are falling all for us<br />
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter<br />
I can show you I'll be the one<br />
<br />
I will never let you fall (let you fall)<br />
I'll stand up with you forever<br />
I'll be there for you through it all (through it all)<br />
Even if saving you sends me to heaven<br />
<br />
Cuz you're my, you're my, my, my true love, my whole heart<br />
Please don't throw that away<br />
Cuz I'm here for you<br />
Please don't walk away and <br />
Please tell me you'll stay woah, stay woah<br />
<br />
Use me as you will<br />
Pull my strings just for a thrill<br />
And I know I'll be okay<br />
Though my skies are turning gray<br />
<br />
I will never let you fall<br />
I'll stand up with you forever<br />
I'll be there for you through it all<br />
Even if saving you sends me to heaven<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ School has started, and I find myself overwhelmed with assignments and phisophical thought. I've met many new people, and believe it or not, old people more then new. I went to alot of these new persons grade school, and the are all remembering me *shockdom* lol. Just a quicky update today, I love my courses, and this school year shows alot of promise, as does the coming year of romance for me. I love me! XD jk, jk.Alot has happened this summer,  but through it all, one thing still remains as strong and brave as ever. My heart. I'm willingly to try new things, yes. Learn from my past mistakes, yes. And grow in my love for Allan, yes. There really isn't any denying it, and i'm tired of trying to hide it. I write romance poetry, yes, but I never came out and said it. So here it is. I love Allan. I always have, and I still do to this day. I've been through Hell and back for him. And still, with everything in my hectic life that should discourage me at every corner, my love for him is my only solstice. His warmth, his smile, his love for me, and everything that is him, gives me a deep peace of heart. And yet excites me, frustrates me, lightens my emotions, and ten thousand other things. I love him, there's noeone one this earth who can ever change that. He has my heart, my body, my soul, and my will. <br />
<br />
*If you love them, let them go, but if they come back to you, hold and cherish them forever.*<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8qj2MzIlJw">[link]</a> Shania Twain: From this moment on<br />
<br />
(I do swear that I'll always be there. I'd give anything <br />
and everything and I will always care. Through weakness <br />
and strength, happiness and sorrow, for better, for worse, <br />
I will love you with every beat of my heart.) <br />
<br />
From this moment life has begun <br />
From this moment you are the one <br />
Right beside you is where I belong <br />
From this moment on <br />
<br />
From this moment I have been blessed <br />
I live only for your happiness <br />
And for your love I'd give my last breath <br />
From this moment on <br />
<br />
I give my hand to you with all my heart <br />
Can't wait to live my life with you, can't wait to start <br />
You and I will never be apart <br />
My dreams came true because of you <br />
<br />
From this moment as long as I live <br />
I will love you, I promise you this <br />
There is nothing I wouldn't give <br />
From this moment on <br />
<br />
You're the reason I believe in love <br />
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above <br />
All we need is just the two of us <br />
My dreams came true because of you <br />
<br />
From this moment as long as I live <br />
I will love you, I promise you this <br />
There is nothing I wouldn't give <br />
From this moment <br />
I will love you as long as I live <br />
From this moment on<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Can't see whats in front of me, dizzied, flitting around in a blind rage. Raising my voice at supposed enemy's, long time friends angered by new found blasphemy. In this tulmult of hurt, this eiphony of pain, everyone can't see the gain, because there is none to show, it's just her and me standing on death row. But thier dragged there too, silent onlookers, dressed in red, they look like hookers, with her blood streaming down their faces, they think back to much kinder places. The reality of hate is this, it can only be solved with a fist, when blinded by the eternal fire, forgiveness falls, and revenge is dire. Challenging everything I am, its sad to think I will be damned. It feels so RIGHT  it feels so GOOD, it feels like tongue on alcohol should. When this is over, I shall win, separating from most my kin. The future is blurry as this rage comes to pass, this red sunset shall be her last. Repentence I know will be a hard thing, I can only hope I regret NOTHING. When heated by this boling anger, everything turns into endless laughter. A high of hatred all surounding, a guteral war cry to you im hounding. Hold me back, chain my fist, before I'm lost to bloody bliss.<br />

Animal I Have Become lyrics<br />
<br />
I can't escape this hell<br />
So many times i've tried<br />
But i'm still caged inside<br />
Somebody get me through this nightmare<br />
I can't control myself<br />
<br />
So what if you can see the darkest side of me?<br />
No one will ever change this animal I have become<br />
Help me believe it's not the real me<br />
Somebody help me tame this animal<br />
(This animal, this animal)<br />
<br />
I can't escape myself<br />
(I can't escape myself)<br />
So many times i've lied<br />
(So many times i've lied)<br />
But there's still rage inside<br />
Somebody get me through this nightmare<br />
I can't control myself<br />
<br />
So what if you can see the darkest side of me?<br />
No one will ever change this animal I have become<br />
Help me believe it's not the real me<br />
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become<br />
Help me believe it's not the real me<br />
Somebody help me tame this animal<br />
<br />
Somebody help me through this nightmare<br />
I can't control myself<br />
Somebody wake me from this nightmare<br />
I can't escape this hell<br />
<br />
(This animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal)<br />
<br />
So what if you can see the darkest side of me?<br />
No one will ever change this animal I have become<br />
Help me believe it's not the real me<br />
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become<br />
Help me believe it's not the real me<br />
Somebody help me tame this animal<br />
(This animal I have become)<br />

Hate is a terrible thing, that challenges friendships and loyalties. I'm trying to overcome it...as daunting a task that seems. I am winning small battles...even if their in my head. They are there, and they are important to me. When you get hurt because someone you love gets hurt, it is hard to get over. Then , if you get hurt through that, because the hurt was meant for you...it's even worse. I have never had the ugly pleasure to hate before. And it challenges everything I thought I was. I'm trying to overcome it, I really am. For the sake of the one I love, my family, my friends, and most importantly myself. If you allow hate to rule your life...you have no life at all. I don't know what that will mean if I ever need to beat the living shit out of her for him, or any other one of my friends. But...I don't think I need hate to do that...and that makes me feel calmer, and mroe confident that I can get over this, and move on. I want to start over at my new school, and go to homecoming with zac and allan, and meet now people..and not be afraid to trust anymore...I want to give my trust out like candy like I used to... I want to grow from this. And I want to thank you all for reading this, and thank my friends...for dealing with so much from me. It's hard to understand what I feel, and I thank God you are still here with me...after everything I put you through because of this hate, and fear, and insecurity. Im going to try, everyone..I'm not going to give up. And thank you nick...you really have helped me to overcome alot in this...thank you.<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I could listen to your voice every hour, of every day. So soft, and sweet. Drawn out on the o's and u's. Throaty laughter dancing around my ears when you share a joke. It's been a long time, I know. I've been counting the days, the weeks...the months. Soon, a new beggining, soon a new song. A song that sounds so familiar, so content and exciting. Filled with exhileration, a sense of well being, of comfort and safety. A song of love never ending, never stilled, never sated. Always there, stuborn and unabated. Always here, in my heart, my soul. Every fiber of my being. A new chapter to write, and add to our book.<br />

<br />
When the sun came up,<br />
We were sleeping in,<br />
Sunk inside our blankets,<br />
Sprawled across the bed,<br />
And we were dreaming,<br />
<br />
There are moments when,<br />
When I know it and<br />
The world revolves around us,<br />
And we're keeping it,<br />
Keep it all going,<br />
This delicate balance,<br />
Vulnerable all knowing,<br />
<br />
Sing like you think no one's listening,<br />
You would kill for this,<br />
Just a little bit,<br />
Just a little bit,<br />
You would, kill for this<br />
<br />
Sing like you think no one's listening,<br />
You would kill for this,<br />
Just a little bit,<br />
Just a little bit,<br />
You would, you would...<br />
<br />
Sing me something soft,<br />
Sad and delicate,<br />
Or loud and out of key,<br />
Sing me anything,<br />
we're glad for what we've got,<br />
Done with what we've lost<br />
Our whole lives laid out right in front of us,<br />
<br />
Sing like you think no one's listening,<br />
You would kill for this,<br />
Just a little bit,<br />
Just a little bit,<br />
You would,<br />
<br />
Sing like you think no one's listening,<br />
You would kill for this,<br />
Just a little bit,<br />
Just a little bit,<br />
You would, you would....<br />
<br />
Sing me something soft,<br />
Sad and delicate,<br />
Or loud and out of key,<br />
Sing me anything.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Escape the Fate Not Goog Enough for Truth in Cliche<br />
Let's go.[x2]<br />
<br />
Hurtful words,<br />
From my enemies of the last five years,<br />
What's it like to die alone?<br />
<br />
How does it feel when tears freeze,<br />
When you cry?<br />
The blood in your veins is twenty below. <br />
<br />
[Chorus:]<br />
Sitting in this room playing Russian roulette,<br />
Finger on the trigger to my dear Juliet,<br />
Out from the window see your back drop silhouette,<br />
This blood on my hands is something I cannot forget,<br />
[x2]<br />
Something I cannot forget.<br />
<br />
So for now, take this down a notch,<br />
Crash my car through your window,<br />
Make sure you're still alive,<br />
Just in time to kill you,<br />
<br />
[Chorus x2] <br />
<br />
I can't take this (take) anymore. [x4]<br />
(I cannot feel what you've done to me)<br />
<br />
So for now, take this down a notch,<br />
Crash my car through your window, window<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Or are you just pretending? Its hard to believe that this could be our ending. I've waited here all night, and held fast in every fight. Here's my last question, my last testament to us. After everything, all the emtpy promises, I'm still here, made it through all the nightmares, and after everything, I would unquestionably give you my trust. Say that you love me, say that you care, because I can't get enough of those sweet words. I love you, i love you, and i'll always be there...for you.<br />
<br />
YellowCard : Empty apartment <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENhYJuzQqPs&NR=1">[link]</a><br />
Call me out<br />
You stayed inside<br />
One you love<br />
Is where you hide<br />
Shot me down <br />
As I flew by<br />
Crash and burn<br />
I think sometimes<br />
You forget where the heart is<br />
<br />
Answer no to these questions<br />
Let her go, learn a lesson<br />
It's not me, you're not listening<br />
Now, can't you see something's missing<br />
You forget where the heart is<br />
<br />
Take you away from that empty apartment<br />
You stay, and forget where the heart is<br />
Someday if ever you loved me you'd say, it's okay<br />
<br />
Waking up from this nightmare <br />
How's your life?<br />
What's it like there?<br />
Is it all what you want it to be?<br />
Does it hurt when you think about me?<br />
And how broken my heart is<br />
<br />
Take you away from that empty apartment<br />
You stay, and forget where the heart is <br />
Someday if ever you loved me you'd say, it's okay<br />
<br />
It's okay to be angry and never let go<br />
It only gets harder the more that you know<br />
When you get lonely if no one's around<br />
You know that I'll catch you when you're falling down<br />
We came together but you left alone <br />
And I know how it feels to walk out on your own<br />
Maybe someday I will see you again <br />
And you'll look me in my eyes and call me your friend<br />
<br />
Take you away from that empty apartment<br />
You stay, and forget where the heart is<br />
Someday if ever you loved me you'd say, it's okay<br />
<br />
It's okay<br />
It's okay<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ is a hard to make. Is it better to live in the moment and not plan for the future? Or try to influence the moment, letting it's spark dim, in a vain attempt to secure a happy future you realize will be painful otherwise. Happiness now...or happiness never...<br />
<br />
Ok...got tagged. 6 weird things about myself.<br />
<br />
1.) I love reading or watching anything gory. Give me a bloody movie and I'm hooked. Though, coinsidently, the sight of blood on someone I love scares the shit out of me.<br />
<br />
2.) I put myself in very difficult positions, thinking that they will prevent me from making a bad decision...and I end up making the desicion anyway. Just makes it harder to make it.<br />
<br />
3.) When I sleep, I don't sleep under the covers, I sleep ontop of them. With Allan's bear in my arms, and nakedness. lol. I hate wearing clothes when I sleep.<br />
<br />
4.) I say I'm sorry for almost everything. Things that are my fault or aren't. Everything is my fault someway, somehow, or at least thats how I see things.<br />
<br />
5.) I love anything ancient, Native american, celtish, irish...that sort of thing.<br />
<br />
6.) well...recently established... is my love of torturing *cough*cough* DIES in my dreams...I wake up smiling.<br />
<br />
7.) I write really depressing poetry when I should be happy. Go figure XD<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Hinder: Lips of an Angel <br />
Honey why are you calling me so late?<br />
It's kinda hard to talk right now.<br />
Honey why youÂ´re crying? Is everything okay?<br />
I've gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud<br />
<br />
Oh Well, my girls in the next room<br />
Sometimes I wish she was you<br />
I guess we never really moved on<br />
It's really good to hear your voice say my name<br />
It sounds so sweet<br />
Coming from the lips of an angel<br />
Hearing those words it makes me weak<br />
<br />
And I<br />
never wanna say goodbye<br />
But girl you make it hard to be faithful<br />
With the lips of an angel<br />
<br />
It's funny that you're calling me tonight<br />
And, yes, I've dreamed of you too<br />
Does he know you're talking to me?<br />
Will it start a fight?<br />
No I don't think she has a clue<br />
<br />

Right now he's probably slow dancing with a beach blond tramp,<br />
and she's probably getting frisky...<br />
right now, he's probably buying her some fruity little drink cause she can't shoot whiskey...<br />
<br />
Right now, he's probably up behind her with a pool-stick, showing her how to shoot a combo...<br />
<br />
And he don't know...<br />
<br />
That I dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped up 4 wheel drive,<br />
carved my name into his leather seats...<br />
I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights,<br />
slashed a hole in all 4 tires...<br />
<br />
Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats.<br />
<br />
Right now, she's probably up singing some<br />
white-trash version of Shania karaoke..<br />
Right now, she's probably saying "I'm drunk"<br />
and he's a thinking that he's gonna get lucky,<br />
Right now, he's probably dabbing on 3 dollars worth of that bathroom polo...<br />

I might've saved a little trouble for the next girl,<br />
Cause the next time that he cheats...<br />

Oh, you know it won't be on me!<br />
<br />
No...not on me<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ A love triqueta  licks burnt wounds, and kicks spirits fallen on the dirt, lifting swirls of dust; their dreams, their hopes, their heart. Ashes rain down upon interlocked souls, sucking the life out of each elements eyes; never ending circles, chained by indesicion in a dance of oblivion. God sweep my sins from the hollow trinket of my being, let soar my bitter joys like embers from dry wood; held in the embrace of fires cleansing kiss. Save me.<br />

Flyleaf: all around me<br />
<br />
My hands are searching for you<br />
My arms are outstretched towards you<br />
I feel you on my fingertips<br />
My tongue dances behind my lips for you<br />
<br />
This fire rising through my being<br />
Burning I'm not used to seeing you<br />
<br />
I'm alive, I'm alive<br />
<br />
I can feel you all around me<br />
Thickening the air I'm breathing<br />
Holding on to what I'm feeling<br />
Savoring this heart that's healing<br />
<br />
My hands float up above me<br />
And you whisper you love me<br />
And I begin to fade<br />
Into our secret place<br />
<br />
The music makes me sway<br />
The angels singing say we are alone with you<br />
I am alone and they are too with you<br />
<br />
I'm alive, I'm alive<br />
<br />
I can feel you all around me<br />
Thickening the air I'm breathing<br />
Holding on to what I'm feeling<br />
Savoring this heart that's healing<br />
<br />
And so I cry<br />
The light is white<br />
And I see you<br />
<br />
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive<br />
<br />
I can feel you all around me<br />
Thickening the air I'm breathing<br />
Holding on to what I'm feeling<br />
Savoring this heart that's healing<br />
<br />
Take my hand<br />
I give it to you<br />
Now you owe me<br />
All I am<br />
You said you would never leave me<br />
I believe you<br />
I believe<br />
<br />
I can feel you all around me<br />
Thickening the air I'm breathing<br />
Holding on to what I'm feeling<br />
Savoring this heart that's healed<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Someone once said, today, we have this to celebrate today! <br />
<br />
   "Happy Independence day! You get to celebrate:<br />
 *Expensive healthcarre<br />
 *George Bush<br />
 *A pointless war over oil.<br />
 *And many other GREAT benifits of being an independed state " <br />
   <br />
         Mind you he is not form the good ol' U S of A's but meh. Happy fourth of July everyone! Here is a song I thought was great for today, to add more dripping sarcasim! <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2525069784250841901&q=Lamb+of+god%2C+hourglass+live&total=108&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&amp">[link]</a><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" />lindex=4 there is the link to it. It's caleld hourglass by Lamb of God<br />
<br />
Privileged, a chosen few<br />
Blessed with our time in hell<br />
Witness a divine vision, the day we all fell still<br />
Rapture of the dying age, a shattered hourglass<br />
Wrath of the warring gods and so this too shall pass<br />
Its only getting worse, not worth a moments regret<br />
Each dawn another curse, every breath a twisting blade<br />
What will be left behind in the ashes of the wake?<br />
<br />
An ill wind blows this way, th edge of the envelope burns<br />
For bearance and my vengeance, payment for your intent<br />
Fear and death in the wings, in thrall of those fallen from grace<br />
Petty is as petty does, witness the mass disgrace<br />
God forbid you read the signs<br />
watch for meanings between the lines<br />
<br />
Gehenna has now arrived, no hindsight for the blind<br />
Your trust has been misplaced, believed the lies told to your face<br />
Became another casualty and now its too late<br />
You finally made it home, draped in the flag that you fell for<br />
And so it goes<br />
The ashes of the wake<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ As a good friend of mine once said, today, we have this to celebrate today! <br />
<br />
   "Happy Independence day! You get to celebrate:<br />
 *Expensive healthcarre<br />
 *George Bush<br />
 *A pointless war over oil.<br />
 *And many other GREAT benifits of being an independed state " <br />
   <br />
         Mind you he is not form the good ol' U S of A's but meh. Happy fourth of July everyone! Here is a song I thought was great for today, to add more dripping sarcasim! <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2525069784250841901&q=Lamb+of+god%2C+hourglass+live&total=108&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&amp">[link]</a><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" />lindex=4 there is the link to it. It's caleld hourglass by Lamb of God<br />
<br />
Privileged, a chosen few<br />
Blessed with our time in hell<br />
Witness a divine vision, the day we all fell still<br />
Rapture of the dying age, a shattered hourglass<br />
Wrath of the warring gods and so this too shall pass<br />
Its only getting worse, not worth a moments regret<br />
Each dawn another curse, every breath a twisting blade<br />
What will be left behind in the ashes of the wake?<br />
<br />
An ill wind blows this way, th edge of the envelope burns<br />
For bearance and my vengeance, payment for your intent<br />
Fear and death in the wings, in thrall of those fallen from grace<br />
Petty is as petty does, witness the mass disgrace<br />
God forbid you read the signs<br />
watch for meanings between the lines<br />
<br />
Gehenna has now arrived, no hindsight for the blind<br />
Your trust has been misplaced, believed the lies told to your face<br />
Became another casualty and now its too late<br />
You finally made it home, draped in the flag that you fell for<br />
And so it goes<br />
The ashes of the wake<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Thats' me everyone! I got selected to be a daily deviant! *ecitedness!* I can't belive it, I was so happy. things seem to be looking up for my writing. Now if only I can submit all of my contest entrys before their too late! I have been very happy these past few weeks. Recently I was invited to a new writing community, I coaxed Rawemotion through their first promt*giggles* it was fun. I have also entered a few contests. The haiku one I didn't fare too well in. Not even an honorable mention, but then again, I haven't written haiku in years, literally. I have been quite busy nursing a few novels as well. The Love of a Stranger should be up and running on Da soon. i am hoping to submit it to word count. *crosses fingers for admitence* I have requested alot of admissions to clubs too. Really hoping I get in them. I love writing for all sorts of things. Word count seems especially fun. Oh by the way I have an awesome club everyone should check out. I'll be seding notes to those who I want to really pester <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";-)" title=";-) (Wink)" /> It's called degrees-of-love and it's pure amazingness. There is an icon in my journal friends beloew this if you are interested! Romance poetry! Beautiful thing! So, anyway, cross fingers for me ok guys? I enterred a contest for Poetic War and it was the mythology poettry contest! I hope I do ok. Really hope I do. I had alot of people tell me it was good so *crosses fingers for She Was Worth the Fall of Troy" <br />
          In other news, lol. I posted a literature news letter thig here on Da. Yay1 I felt stupid because i couldn't find the literature section. :-p felt way stupid. <br />
         For a bit of depressin news...my dog died today. He was fifteen, and had a good run. But seisures came around and took away his fun. (a horrid time for poetry bits) but ya. He was diabetic and blind. Fighting death for a few years. It's kinda shocking, but we'll get through it. *R.I.P. kirby, darlin.*<br />
          Um, since I'm talking depressing, I figured I'd clue you in to whats going on with the X. Being an X, what else can I say. Wanted to claim bear as his own today, fought him on it for a few days. Gave up. Said I didn't care anymore.... he gave in. Bleh. I think he honestly WANTS me to get over emotional, and stir things up. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":-(" title=":-( (Sad)" /> Zac has been an amazing job with this whole situation. <3 Affection you zac<3 I wrote my first poem for him too. It is called To Me. <br />
          Thus I will end this on a happy note, dispite unhappy times around it. Zac and I have been together for quite a while now. Makes me very happy. And I am enjoying getting to know him more and more. Though it is more like learning about an extension of myself. But that's cool too! We are going on a picnic tommorrow, and swimming. Much fun to be had, and he could possibly be coming down to Nc with me! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> Things are looking up, and I'm happy! Hard to believe, but under the surface happy! Yay! lol, ok, i'm going to stp ranting. Thanks for reading, and read some more!<br />

<br />
Temposhark Is It Better to Have Loved?<br />
<br />
You didnÂt wait for me to help you out<br />
<br />
I wouldÂve stayed to clear those final doubts<br />
<br />
How suddenly the whole world can change overnight<br />
<br />
How suddenly the whole world knows your name<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
And I find myself questioning all that I have done<br />
<br />
And IÂm trying to press the button to rewind <br />
<br />
And I find myself whispering ÂThereÂs more I could have doneÂ<br />
<br />
And I wish I had the option to rewind<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
Is it better to have loved than not at all?<br />
<br />
Is it better to have loved than not at all?<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
IÂm not the same; it feels like IÂm missing out <br />
<br />
The sky has drained now I must live without<br />
<br />
How suddenly the whole world can change overnight<br />
<br />
How suddenly the whole world sings your name<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
And I find myself questioning all that I have done<br />
<br />
And IÂm trying to press the button to rewind <br />
<br />
And I find myself whispering ÂGod, what have you done?Â<br />
<br />
And I wish I had the option to rewind<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
Is it better to have loved than not at all?<br />
<br />
Is it better to have loved than not at all?<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
I find myself thinking; I hope I can inspire<br />
<br />
The subtleties you taught me to admire<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
And I find myself whispering ÂGod, what have you done?Â<br />
<br />
And I wish I had the option to rewind<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
Is it better to have loved than not at all?<br />
<br />
Is it better to have loved than not at all?<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello eveyone,<br />
         To all of my faithful Da readers who have comented and helped me make desicions on the obstacles facing me in my life, I owe you all a big thanks and a <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /> . As many of you well know, my life has been quite hectic lately, what with moving, divorce, betrayel in love and forgiveness, and all of the tests of faith in between. It's been hard, but I am quite happy to know that I have some solstice to go to when everything gets hard. Thank you all so much because, honestly, I could not have figured alot of theses things out without your guidance and love.<br />
         This monday two big events happened for me. For those of you who have been keeping up with my Allan situation... this was really important to me. after cheating, lying, and all of the mental abuse(for those who haven't read my previous journals) I finally gave up and wrote him a letter detailing everything he has done to me in the past month starting with him guilting me to talk with him again. It was rough, it took everything I had not to pick up the damned telephone and call him and apologize for what I said but thank s to everyone, bloodytears of remorse, dollfaced raved, elli<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> zac, and all of the awesome Da readers, I held fast and strong and did what I needed to in order to start fixing things.<br />
          Allan called me on monday and said he was sorry and wanted to apologize in person! He said he knew how important it was to me, and he wanted to talk about it with me when I came over. I was so incredibly happy, I cried. He was completely sincere this time, absolutely sincere when he spoke. Now we can finally start to make a lasting friendship out of all the turmoil. I can say right now that it will not be all butterfly's and daisy's though. Just last night I realized it was going to be really hard, and there are going to be tears along the way. He is bipolar, and that makes things incredibly difficult for me. But I am willing to face his problems, ALL of them, if he is willing to start growing into all the things I know he will. This is really a good thing, a very, very good start. I need a good friend right now, and he needs one too. More than he needs a girlfriend. He said he is starting ot fall in love with me again, and I wasn't expecting that till the end of summer, but... I guess it doesn't change things in the slightest. We'll have to seehow this plays out, but i'm hopeful that his feelings and my feelings won't challenge our friendship.<br />
           Second amazing thing that happened on monday. I wen ton my date with zac<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> It was alot of fun, because we went trolling on the fishing boat in Condorus. Did you know it was a man made lake! Unbelievable. But what was more unbelivable was the fact that Zac asked me out and... I said YES! I am really excited about this relationship because I know it is alot better for me then if I choose to wait for Allan. I am really happy right now bacause things really seem to be looking up for me. It's summer, I have a summer romance with the nicest guy I have met and liked, and I am making things work for a friendship I want to maintain until the day I die. And it is all thank to you, my lovely friends, and my family, and everyone who has cared so much for me. I am truely imdebted to you all. Thank you so much for lending me your ears, time, and advice. I hope to please you all with the outcome of these new occurances in my life. Again, thank you all so much for your patience and lending me your strength. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/glomp.gif" width="47" height="20" alt=":glomp:" title="Glomp!" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello eveyone,<br />
         To all of my faithful Da readers who have comented and helped me make desicions on the obstacles facing me in my life, I owe you all a big thanks and a <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /> . As many of you well know, my life has been quite hectic lately, what with moving, divorce, betrayel in love and forgiveness, and all of the tests of faith in between. It's been hard, but I am quite happy to know that I have some solstice to go to when everything gets hard. Thank you all so much because, honestly, I could not have figured alot of theses things out without your guidance and love.<br />
         This monday two big events happened for me. For those of you who have been keeping up with my Allan situation... this was really important to me. after cheating, lying, and all of the mental abuse(for those who haven't read my previous journals) I finally gave up and wrote him a letter detailing everything he has done to me in the past month starting with him guilting me to talk with him again. It was rough, it took everything I had not to pick up the damned telephone and call him and apologize for what I said but thank s to everyone, bloodytears of remorse, dollfaced raved, elli<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> zac, and all of the awesome Da readers, I held fast and strong and did what I needed to in order to start fixing things.<br />
          Allan called me on monday and said he was sorry and wanted to apologize in person! He said he knew how important it was to me, and he wanted to talk about it with me when I came over. I was so incredibly happy, I cried. He was completely sincere this time, absolutely sincere when he spoke. Now we can finally start to make a lasting friendship out of all the turmoil. I can say right now that it will not be all butterfly's and daisy's though. Just last night I realized it was going to be really hard, and there are going to be tears along the way. He is bipolar, and that makes things incredibly difficult for me. But I am willing to face his problems, ALL of them, if he is willing to start growing into all the things I know he will. This is really a good thing, a very, very good start. I need a good friend right now, and he needs one too. More than he needs a girlfriend. He said he is starting ot fall in love with me again, and I wasn't expecting that till the end of summer, but... I guess it doesn't change things in the slightest. We'll have to seehow this plays out, but i'm hopeful that his feelings and my feelings won't challenge our friendship.<br />
           Second amazing thing that happened on monday. I wen ton my date with zac<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> It was alot of fun, because we went trolling on the fishing boat in Condorus. Did you know it was a man made lake! Unbelievable. But what was more unbelivable was the fact that Zac asked me out and... I said YES! I am really excited about this relationship because I know it is alot better for me then if I choose to wait for Allan. I am really happy right now bacause things really seem to be looking up for me. It's summer, I have a summer romance with the nicest guy I have met and liked, and I am making things work for a friendship I want to maintain until the day I die. And it is all thank to you, my lovely friends, and my family, and everyone who has cared so much for me. I am truely imdebted to you all. Thank you so much for lending me your ears, time, and advice. I hope to please you all with the outcome of these new occurances in my life. Again, thank you all so much for your patience and lending me your strength. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/glomp.gif" width="47" height="20" alt=":glomp:" title="Glomp!" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ This is my last stand, my last chance... Allan's last chance. Though it may seem as if he wasted his last chance, which he did, this is the last one he will recieve. I cut off from him today. Completely. The hurt was too intense. Too painfilled. It's not fair for me to suffer like this.  I honestly cut off from him yesterday, but since then he has tripped me and attempted to talk to me. I told his mother to tell him that I was through. That I was done. I need time to think, I need time to move on in a way. I love him so much it kills me either way. I don't knwo what I am supposed to do. I tried not talking to him before... but he guilted me into it. I then stood there and got hurt everyday there after being his so called "friend". Some friend he was. Whenever Jacque was inthe room he purposefully ignored me, and she purposefully clung to him. My friends told me to give up the entire time, and i'm sad to say I had to learn the hard way that they were right. I love him, and he takes advantage of that. He breaks me down with words, and looks. He is two faced.... he will be so sweet to me one second... and then he will compltely rip me a new ass the next second. Funny. The sad thing is I would let him. He even let me write him a note saying I would stand there and take his shit because I loved him.... I don't know what to do. I don't know. I am so confussed... so very confussed.<br />
    Well I am happy to say that my good friend zac has helped me figure out a planish sort of thing. I am to continue with the nonetalking thinger, and see how it goes. If he missesme, and makes a proper apology, and wants to help fix things, it will all be fine. I'm sure there will be set backs, but everything will work out hopefully. If not, then I was really better off without him in the first place. Well i know I am but.... w/e. I need this time to think, and I will love every moment of it. I have my date with zac this wekend, PIRATES THREE! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> I honestly can't wait. oh! and check out this video <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUQLTH_7EPg">[link]</a> , it is filmed by me.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

"The Outsider"<br />
<br />
Help me if you can<br />
It's just that this, this is not the way I'm wired<br />
So could you please,<br />
<br />
Help me understand why<br />
You've given in to all these<br />
Reckless dark desires<br />
<br />
You're lying to yourself again<br />
Suicidal imbecile<br />
Think about it, put it on the faultline<br />
What'll it take to get it through to you precious<br />
I'm over this. Why do you wanna throw it away like this<br />
Such a mess. Why would I want to watch you.<br />
<br />
Disconnect and self destruct one bullet at a time<br />
What's your rush now, everyone will have his day to die<br />
<br />
Medicated, drama queen, picture perfect, numb belligerence<br />
Narcissistic, drama queen, craving fame and all its decadence<br />
<br />
Lying through your teeth again<br />
Suicidal imbecile<br />
Think about it, put it on the fautline<br />
What'll it take to get it through to you precious<br />
Go with this, why do you wanna throw it away like this<br />
Such a mess. Why would I wanna watch you...<br />

Disconnect and self destruct one bullet at a time<br />
What's your rush now, everyone will have his day to die<br />
<br />
They were right about you<br />
They were right about you<br />
<br />
Lying to my face again<br />
Suicidal imbecile<br />

What'll it take to get it through to you precious<br />
I'm over this. Why do you wanna throw it away like this<br />
Such a mess, I'm over this, over this!<br />
<br />
Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet at a time<br />
What's your hurry, everyone will have his day to die<br />
If you choose to pull the trigger, should your drama prove sincere,<br />
Do it somewhere far away from here<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Hiya everyone, my devoted readers, my comrades,my amigoes, my friends of flesh, my accomplices in all fun and dark, and most importantly, my bestest friend the imaginary Bob. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" /> lol.( bob isn't real Icudk) Today marks one month since my faith, my friends, my will, and my compassion were put to the test. And, i am proud to say that through it all, I have come out victorious!. To recap what I've been through, I'll give you all a crash course<br />
<br />
Opportunities:<br />
<br />
* *divorce*<br />
* moving an hour away from my school*<br />
*My boyfriend cheating on me*<br />
* My grades slipping*<br />
*allergies*<br />
*finding God*<br />
<br />
Basically, these are the troubles that I have faced in the past month. Congrats to me for surving, and coming out on top. Yesterday marked the end of Jackie and Allans relationship(aka, Jackie was the girl he cheated on me with) She said" You need to get some help, and are too serious about our relationship, so I think we should break up"  She realized what she did with Allan did'nt bother me because I knew it wouldn't last, it would hurt him, and that she didn't truely care. He did the same thing he did with shelbi, and big surprise, jackie reminded him OF SHELBI, so he made the same mistake with her. He waited until they were well off, and then dropped the bomb about himself to her. Whereas, he told me front and center before we started dating about ALL of his problems, and his past. I can't say what they were, because I am still going to keep my promises. Lets just say he had too many skeletons in his closet, and a few live ones she couldn't even comprehend, needless to say deal with. He isn't talking to her... he must realize what I said about was true this whole time. Or is starting to see it anyway. <br />
         Unfortunately, he still thinks I am waiting for him... and little does he know I'm not. Thats an issue I'd rather just ignore because I have erased him completely from my life. So other than that, the challenge is or question: How long do I let him squirm? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" /> God knows I still care about him. But unfortunately, there is no way in Heaven or Hell that I would ever EVER, take him back after this. I love him, I'm in love with him, and i know I always will be. He is the most amazing person I have ever met. Unfortunately, greatness comes with time. He is too immature for me to be in a relationship with him right now. As much as I would like to hold him again, and have everything we had before, it is in the past, and the time we had can't be relived. Only remembered and cherished. So, I will be here for him, as a friend, and keep my love unrquited until the day comes when he can treat his mother with respect, can match his fathers strides, can accept resposibility for his actions on his own account, can make desicions by thinking about them: not spur of the moment, when he can fully come to appreciate the man he truely is and step out of the shadows of his past, and problems. The day I tell him I love him, he must be truely ready to love me. And only me. I know that day won't come for a very long time, and before then I realize I might find someone else. But for the moment, this is my desicion. To forgive and forget, and move on with life. <br />
              * Kick me, beat me, burn me, hurt me, stab me, step on me, spit in my face, love me, hate me, make me bleed to death, but in the end you have only helped me to win God's race... I have found my place in this world... and I accept my fate with open arms." Newest song I am working on. Copywrighted by MellvilleMusic2007 <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/glomp.gif" width="47" height="20" alt=":glomp:" title="Glomp!" />Love is like friendship on <br />
fire, it's strong.<br />
<br />
              ***** thank you everyone for reading this journal, without your care and advice, it would have been so much harder to have come as far as I have without breaking. Thank you all so much. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /> I love you all.***<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ This month marks that of bursting flowers, hyper-active allergies, and a fresh start. May... what is it "April showers brings may flowers" right? Well if that's the case, with all of the rain we have recieved these past few weeks, flowers should be poppin' up everywhere. ( Which, indeed, they are.) My allergies are killin' me poor 'ead. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" /> <br />
        Since it is may, that means a very short time left at my high school, and the little piece of Heaven that I have been anticipating. Summer. A time for frolic, flirting, food, and fun.<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> I am going to have an amazing summer. Phantom of the Opera in Washington, this June. Sleepovers, Warp Tour, North Carolina, Dollywood...ish, Delaware, Maine... mabye, Russia, and Maryland <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" />, my new home state. Everything seems to be looking up for me... even though many would consider it to be... looked down. Ever the optimistic pessimist <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" /> I have Zack and Bradley to look forward to hanging out with whenever. Tanning with Ulga, Shopping with many, many people, books, music, boys, manga, boys, recording session, boys and bikini's:girls <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" />. I have quite an asortment of bathsuits (aka mostly bikini's ) for this summer. Polka dots, hawaiian flowers, triangles, sea shells, roses, and hot pink <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> Can't wait.<br />
     Last time I briefed this page, I was going through some hard times. Stuck between a rock and a hard place. Well, I chose the hard place, and it is payin' off<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> I can smile so readily, and easily now. Smiles that come from my heart, and isn't an ack to show that I' am ok. I have made alot of desicions, and yet, haven't. Like I knew the answer all along. I am more comforted now that I have a plan as to what I am going to do with the problems presented to me. Make them opportunities! Everything God gives is a blessing, so I am trying to make do the best that I can <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> Allan... lets start there, shall we?  I'm done. Not talking to him for .... eh... lets just say a long time. And lets just say, everything comes back to you tenfold... but for him... it's coming twenty fold. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" /> Mabye after he finds out what coming to him... I'll post it. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />  I feel kinda bad but... I can't help what he brings on himself from his desicions, and needless to say, I would never hurt him purposefully. This events come from another outside force. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" /> And you can't control other people, so... lets just say he'll get his just deserts. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> Anyway, that has been solved.  I am just going to play it by ear, and when I"M READY (tee hee "i'm ready, I'm ready *spongebob*) I will decide whether or not to include him in my life. Till then, it's smooth sailing, and unfortunately, I am much more happy without him in it... Or fortunately... whichever.<br />
     My good friend Tina is coming up for prom today, so I hope I can see her soon whileist she visits. I missed her so much!!!! Unfortunately, when she does, if she comes to the school to see people, she will most likely be faced witht he drama of late that has presented itself. ( sorry in advance Tina, hun) Secondly, I had a dream last night that I was bitten by a very attractive looking vampire.... he kinda looked like elli...( <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/glomp.gif" width="47" height="20" alt=":glomp:" title="Glomp!" />) A very interesting dream to say the least. I felt ready wired when I woke up... mabye I had to much caffine, or it could be the fact that everyone keep ssaying my crystal light looks like blood. ( Whic it is definately not!!!)<br />
   Well, I think that will be all for now. I can't put up my avatars still, but I will try for next time. Just know that I am doing very well, and I owe it in vast , majority to those who have supported m... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ As the title of this journal suggests, I have been... very melancholy lately. Also, for some odd reason, I believe that I am spelling melancholy wrong. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" /> Anyway, as my current readers(love you all) well know, I have been through HELL and back this past month. Neddless to say it has been challenging for me to get back on my feet. More than anything, all I wanted was to find some sort of inner peace, and I found it. Took long enough, but I found it. Allan is dead to me now. Everything that he was... he isn't anymore. He isn't the boy that I loved, at the moment. Right now I am still in the process of figuring out how I am to hope about this whole thing. For awile, perhaps more than a month or two... even the entire summer...I want some time to heal from the hurt he placed on me. Even though he expects it of me to forgive him(because that is how I am), I have. little does he know, I have. As I have once said to him before I love him. And his mistakes are included in that love. In order for him to grow, he needs to make those mistakes. So right now, I think it would be best if I also took some time to make my own mistakes, even if considering him to be dead is one. At the moment, I think I have the right to be selfish. I need time to myself, and for myself. Without coomitment, and no questions asked. He may think I can't handle the truth, and then expect me too(which is a contradiction in itself) but, I can do that without him. Basically this is what I have come up with for this part of my problem-solved equation. I care about him, more than anything, in both mind and heart. God knows I still love him, and I think that makes me the stronger person. As many people have said, I am a strong person. I take on all of the troubles onto my own shoulders... and although that gives me great character and whatnot, and proves that I am a quote"good person" I am an idiot because I suffer too much, not on my account, and get taken advantage of for it. Which is really quite sad, when I think about it. But to counter that.. I believe that it does make me stronger. And I wouldn't take all of the pain, and trouble if it wasn't inmy heart to do so. Like the traveler in the Fruits Basket story... it makes me happy to recieve even the smallest of gifts, after I have given everything that I have to give. I think that is important to defining who I AM, and I would never trade it for the world.<br />
        Anyhow, I think I drifted off topic. I love him, and I care for him, and when "I" am ready, i will be there for him again as a friend. Although I care for him, I can't give him everything he had back without question. He needs to learn, again, from his mistakes. And I deserve better than to love someone who thinks he has everything handed to him in life. When the day comes that he understand that he ahs to work for what he needs in life, for what he wants, that is the day that i will consider him a friend, and that is the day that I will carefully, bit by bit, unwrap my heart unto him again. Till then, I have it boxed up. Unfortunately, because of his mistake, I have to be more careful with it than ever, so before he becomes the man who I know he will become... if I find someone who makes me truely happy, even more  than he did, I need to be happy for myself. For once. <br />
    That being said, my second problem is that well... I guess I have already answered my own question up there, but it would be nice for some advice on your guys part. What should I hope for? Most likely it is something to decide for myself. As his mother say ( <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> her) I would like to see the day when I can say, you screwed up and completely lost everything you had. Though i think it a little harsh, it's the truth. When you trade treasure for trash... you may think for some reason you got the better deal, but in the end... your trash you traded for will fall apart, and your treasure is no longer yours.  -sigh- enough of such talk. Bottom line is, for right now, I am free, I am independant, I am WOMAN lol. Life is hard, so I guess it is good to get it all down some times. I know all Jacque has won for herself is misery, but for some reason... I still want that misery... a very small part of me wants it. The second part wants to move on. And the third part, wants to have the boy back I loved... but knows he will never come back again. He might not change, and I might not change, but our desicions change, and righ tnow, thos deesicions decide for us how we will live our lives. * a toast for good desicions on my part and yours*<br />
     okay, in non melancholy news, the news that makes up 23 of the hours of my day, I have new boyfriend... but ... there are so many cute guys... I don't think can commit! *irked* At longest I think this might l... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Come save me from the void rupturing the inner sactions of my heart.<br />
Taste my tears of sacrifice, and smell the bittersweet tang of my blood.<br />
Kiss me one last soft kiss, "please God, All I need is this" take my hand.<br />
Take my heart. Take my soul. Apologies, youve done that already.<br />
Take my life, and whats left of my breaking heart. And if you've a taste for insanity, I will teach you my newest fettish of the blood bathing art.<br />
Youve taken my mind, you've taken my heart, you've taken my body, and torn me apart. My lifes dedication's still devoted to you, and now there's only this left to do. Release your tempest hold on me Allan. Please let deaths arms set me free. I'm tired, and I've had a good run... but I find by your light there is no other sun. What is left of what was once me, submits, oh-so-easily. If you care, like you say you do, set me free, set me free, because your twisted love is killing me ... gently.<br />
<br />
Apologies, there will be no explanation on this. There are no corrections, but many a reason and feeling behind this work of prose/song. I'll be on shortly this week.... I miss Da. but my mind can't wander too long, or my troubles will haunt me. I love you all. Thank you caring to read this. For right now, the love I feel from your hearts brings me to see the new day. I love you all.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ This month has just plain sucked where my parents are concerned. they have just been so greedy and ungrateful to Allans parents for doing so much for me, and it is rediculus. I have just been so fed up lately with this attitude of thiers that I wanted to crawl under the snow and freeze. It's a sucky feeling. Then this horrible jealousy popped back up again with this girl named Jaque. Uhg... just more shit to deal with... I had my job interveiw last week,a dn missed it b/c I was so preocupied with softball, trying ot see Allan has been a nightmare, and I failed!!! a project in honors literature! I never fail anythign in Honors literature! I have deiscovered that this is the 6th month of Mine and Allans relationship together, and realized that is most likely why things are so screwy. Also, because Jacque is listed number 6 on his speed dial, I was quite happy... Hehe, devil's number <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" /> I have a bit of a fettish, there are alot of things I will not do with the number 6.If Allan and I kiss 6 times, we have to make it seven, call six times, seven. etc... And other things not having ot do with Allan, but I am having a bit of a brain fart... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" /> Ig... Well, I bought a hello kitty tank last saturday. It's cute<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> Um... we got ten inches of snow last nightish. And got off of school at 12... I got out at 10:30 ! woot. So now I have nothing to do, supposidly "relaxing" ... again, not able to d anythign with Allan, or anyone else. You know it feels horrible when you are embarrssed for your parents mistakes? It really makes you feel quite crudy to apologize for THEM!-sigh- well I am too upset right now , and I have laundry, and I am just plaina and simple... pissed. Talk later everyone.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Yesterday, i found out from my grandmother that a good man that I had the priviledge to know died. His name was Craig, and he had well developed lung cancer. This August, I spent a week with him in north Carolina, and discovered that he was the kindest man I had evr met. I still doubt that I will ever find someone that was kind as he was to eveyone around him. <br />
<br />
That was first leap to the edge of the precipice. <br />
<br />
Then, later that night, the one person I can completely trust to talk about anything with, and who will ultimately take all of my pain away, got his cell phone taken away, because he snapped at his mother, when all she did was wonder what her was doing on the computer.... which he wasn't supposed to be on.<br />
<br />
That was the second leap to the edge of the precipice.<br />
<br />
Today, I recieved my spanish qiuz that I stuidied for incredibly hard. I failed with a 68. She changed the format on the quiz from what we had been practicing in class, and did not tell anyone.   Not even the one person with the lowest possible grade in the entire class.<br />
<br />
That was the third leap to the edge.<br />
<br />
Also, today, when I arrived home fomr school, my dog had gotten into our toilet paper roll.... for the second time, and I got cursed at and ridiculed by my father who then progressed to calling me a baby, and taking my cell phone away. He had the nerve to show my sister and I how to "close a door".  I ran outside and bawled because not only did I just have someone dear to me pass away, fail a test, loss phone access with my boyfirend, and get my feelings and hopes of doing anything with Allan this weekend crushed, I have gotten to that time of month where the slightest thing will piss me off. Normally, I will not say anythng if I get pissed. I glare, and retreat to my room for the majority of the night. This time, after all of that, three emotional breakdowns this week, and punishment from my father, I snapped. Honsetly, I give up. I try and I try and I try , and it's never good enough for anyone! Let alone myself. The only person who will truely make me feel like myslef right now, can't even talk to me.<br />
<br />
That was the jump off of the precipice.<br />
<br />
I guess I am just feeling really crudy right now, despite my accomplishments, and it is terrible. I miss Allan so much, and it hurts that Craig is gone, and I just plain feel like shit. Excuse my language. I really hope that I can feel better tonight, which will most likely come from Allan being able to spend the day with me tommorrow. If that happens, everything will be put into a brighter light, and I won't feel like the world is completely falling apart. ... not completely, halfway...ish. -sigh- <br />
<br />
Thank you for reading this long rant. I just needed to get some of my <br />
feelings out because I can't just sit and cry for the rest of the night. Than you all so much<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br />
<br />
If you could call it "good" news, I have two new poems in my gallery inspired by ~<a class="u" href="http://elbethius.deviantart.com/">elbethius</a>. Enjoy  everyone.<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br />

He turned 15,(finally, I kid, I kid) I am only four months older than him,so he is extremely happy that we have the same digit behind our age <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":p" title=":p (Lick)" />. He got a whole mess of presents... I forgot to bring his with me soo.... I felt horrible. He will get them on tuesday though... still feel aweful about that though. Lets see, presents. He got an awesome down pillow *great to snuggle with*<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />... some other things... some more things... a gothic shop gift card for 50 dollars, a cute card, and some other things<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":p" title=":p (Lick)" /> I really hope he had a good b-day. He said since I got the chance to spend the day with him, it was great, but... I still feel bad T_T.  His parents invited me to come to a Japenese steak house for dinner ( the major part of his b-day gift) and we had alot of fun. The chef tossed a broccoli in the air and he caught it... and mine hit my head b/c it was thrown up to high, and I was tucked in to close... a spectacle.<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> Goodness, I love him so much. All in all I had alot of fun. We currently had a seven day weekend basically because of snow, so that has been fun. I feel guilty b/c I basically sat in front of the computer all day long<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> I joined alot of new writting clubs, so I am going to be busy every day for a long time... mantaining those deviations of the marvoulous writers and artists who I have watched<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> Also, since I do not have a subciption, I have to copy and paste the icons everytime I update my journal... so here they all are for the first time<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br />

Valentines day is tommorrow and I can't wait because we have off school due to heavy snow fall<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> Of course, I will be sitting inside, near the fire, sipping tea and reading my book.... er and preparing for a speech. I have decided to recite Ulalume by Edgar Allan Poe. Excellent poem, and definately one of my all time favorites.<br />
                <br />
                            Mushy stuff<br />
<br />
Last weekend Allan and I celebrated Valentines day for we had  dance called sadies hawkins and it was so much fun!I love him so much! He arranged for two surprises. One surprise was estting up a dinner( when I had originally thought we were to eat with his family, who I also love with all of my heart). It was candle lit. Literally, no other light was on in that area, and soft music was played from the computer, so an 40 minute music request<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />, his dad made a shrimp pasta that was so awesome, and it was centered around golden plates and there were sprinkeled rose petals on the table(pink) and a candle in the middle of the table( which we toyed with quite a bit. We're such pyro's<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />)  The candles that were'nt on the table were set up on the walls and desk surronding the table. And we had black cherry soda in wine glasses. It was so extravigant! He spoils me so much<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br />
Before dinner though, we were watching Monk* and then well... long story short, he slipped a very expensive, accent on very expensive, crystal rose into my hand! I have been looking in awe at that rose for the past two years and I never thought anyone would eb in their right mind to buy it for me. Well, not surpriseinly, the one that I hope to spend the rest of my life with did. I love you Allan.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ My boyfriend XYZ, and I went to see the movie called "Epic Movie". It was pretty funny.We got cruddy seats though since we arrived 15 minutes into the movie, But thats alright. Before we went to the mall, we got to spend a little time together so, all's well that ends well, most certainly. I have posted some new poetry, so enjoy all my watchers. Special shout out to Crow, who keeps faving all my works that are halfway decent.<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />  Lets see here... Next week is sadies, so I am way excited about that. I get to wear this awesome dress that hugs all of my curves;D. Allan can go to. Yippe! As of late grades have been... plip so... we were having trouble spending time with each other, but no more! Yay! I am going to try and help him keep up with his grades a little more. The gods know I try, but I guess I need to try just a tad bit harder. I gave him some motivation so... that might help! Lately, the reason I haven't been on as much is because I have a new job. I work at a sub shop on friday nights and saturdays, though I got off today.<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />  Next week I get to spend some time with my grandmother on wednesday, so that is good too. Ig- test, I just remebered, in which case I need to wrap things up here. I love you all, thanks for reading, and if you know of any good contests coming up, give me a shoutout will ya? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/glomp.gif" width="47" height="20" alt=":glomp:" title="Glomp!" /> Merry Febuary!<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hi, everyone. Just updating this to let you all know how I'm doin'. Just fine, really. All of my books from christmas are excellent and entertaining, my poetry is challenging me, and school is most intriguing, needless to say my friends as well. Also, my boyfriend is highly amusing, and observing and learning all of the new things I do about him everyday is a pleasure. I have updated my gallery with three or four new poems, of which there are five or six more to upload. Enjoy. Also, thanks to all of my new watchers, much appreciation, guys. End of the marking period is coming up, tests galor, so if you faintly hear from me anymore, I shall have my nose in the books,ignoring all the concerened looks, of those who would worry, they reall should realize I'm am in a hurry, to bring up my grades on all of these tests, so that all may realize I'm doin' my best.<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br />
a little bit of a poem.<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> comments welcome<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/glomp.gif" width="47" height="20" alt=":glomp:" title="Glomp!" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Has anyone ever felt that they could not live up to someone elses standards? That you can't live up to to the standards of the one who claims that they love you? Has anyone ever felt so horrible for trying to fix things, that they want to die? I have and do. Or did, or whatever. My boyfriend, Allan, recently said in many more words that he basically loves me but likes someone else. Am I really so horrible for taking time to calm myself down, and try to grasp and comprehend the situation better? Yesterday he told me in a note how he felt. My heart was torn in two because I knew something along those lines was happenign  for a while now. He told me that he loved me when I got upset about it, and he wasn't lying. But he also wasn't telling the whole truth either. It's depressing, really. I felt really good after we tried to work things out on the phone, but then I read his deviations <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/45059611/">[link]</a> and <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/45059318/">[link]</a> his journal brought up other issues I wasn't even aware of.<a href="http://exwhyzee.deviantart.com/">[link]</a> Correct me if i'm wrong, but didn't I have the right to have time to think about things? The right to have the freedom of my own emotions? I thought at least that was owed me. He says he loves me, and I know he does but this was just a huge hurt on my part. Then after I recently healed from it, the wound newly scabbed, it's ripped open again by his words in his journal. Get back to me anyone who reads this, I would appreciate it greatly.<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Please everyone who reads this, pray for Allan and I. Hope, pray, wish, something. We are not in the best of places right now with our relationships standing and such. We might not be able to be together any longer, and it tears me apart. I love him so much, I would seriously have a difficult time ot falling into a deep depresion if something were to happen. A few days ago, we got caught with PDA at our school, my mum flipped, and she had forbidden us to be together for a whole ten minutes. I thought my life was over. That was yesterday. Today  we got to school and found that the principala dn my mother had a talk or chat if you will, and we are not to touch at ALL. I can't even poke him! How cruel is that? He wants to talk to Mr. Andrews about it... but I doubt it will do any good. I'm having a hard time believing anything in my life is good anymore. Every time something good happens to me... something ten times as worse falls into my hands. I prayed last night, for a good while, and everything seemed fine and okay. I trusted that God would take care of me. Perhaps Allan as well, even though he has issues with God at the moment. Please, give me your prayers if you read this. Things are out of my hands once again, and this time.... I don't know what will happen.Tonight I have to face something I think is brewing. The principal called me in today and said that he told my mother that we are constantly touching each other and such in school. Which, btw, is completely rediculous, for I touch my friends more than I touch him. For god sakes I glomp them tenfold over allan. I guees I'm just not having the best of days, and Christmas is going to bomb, thoughI still want to show some sort of spirit for it. We are basically broke right now, and don't  have any money for Christmas presents. I have been saving up my lunch money so I can at least buy allan and my mom something tis weekend. I'm hoping that I can find some good sales. I will only have ten dollars, if that. My parents are whispering about something right now, and pointing at me, and gods he just said something about putting me in public school. I want to move away. Far away, I don't understand, I thought god was on my side. I'm so confussed right now. Is there such a thing anymore? Is it just a faction of my mind. Like I have been talking to myself this whole time? I don't know anymore, I just don't I thought giving up my life to him would help things. Would fix things, would make me whole again.  I could have sworn on my life that he preformed a miracle for me lats night alone. He has done it before. I know peope as well that he has done it for. Why is it that when life gets like this.... I fall apart? I am sorry fo rmy rant, but i needed to say it. Allan, if your reading this, I don't know what is brewing, but it is not good. I'm praying and I am hoping that everything will be alright, but I just don't know. I will never stop loving you, darling. Even if it means that we m ust part ways, I will always love you. Don't hurt yourself on my behalf. I love you. Things will get better eventually, they have too. It's Christmas, I'm loved your loved, everything has to be fine.<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>
