<br />
We thought it was over<br />
all the self-inflicting pain. I thought so, too.<br />
But now, with his help, I've seen that the only person I'm hurting is myself.<br />
No matter how honest I am with you, it won't change a thing.<br />
The only thing that has changed between us is this; you are no longer my mother.<br />
I will not call you "mom" anymore.<br />
Being a mother is a privilege. Not a right.<br />
You're not my mom anymore. Sarah's my mom.<br />
<br />
So stop trying to talk to me. Stop following me. Stop trying to "fix things." Stop. Just stop.<br />
<br />
I don't love you anymore. Goodbye.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Being haunted by the past<br />
I thought it was over<br />
I thought he was over; so were we<br />
The thought of him no longer<br />
Sending me mentally reeling<br />
And yet she follows close<br />
Biting at my heels without knowing it<br />
And I try to lose her, slip away<br />
Then we're talking, without saying anything<br />
Until this morning and I see her<br />
I see the look in her eyes and know<br />
It's her and she's with him now<br />
With him, but so far away<br />
All in all I'm glad to say, I don't<br />
want him anymore. I don't miss him.<br />
I don't him wrapping his arms around me<br />
Or the way he kissed me, held me, loved me<br />
Or the way he cheated and didn't challenge<br />
Didn't try to save what we were back then<br />
And now it's over, long gone, and I've washed<br />
His hands and his memory off me<br />
And I no longer get fucked up about it<br />
I don't lurk in the shadows; praying he'll take me<br />
I don't want that or him anymore; that's the truth.<br />
But as for her...I don't know what to think<br />
Only time will tell; our words will, too.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
For now I'm Alice [Ayres],waiting<br />
I'm Plain Jane hoping for the best<br />
And the Closer we get, the farther it feels<br />
This distance between the one I wish for<br />
The one I want to hold close, and be one with<br />
It's him I hope for, but haven't even touched<br />
And I know people shake their heads at me,<br />
But I don't care what they think or say.<br />
I don't care that they know about him and how I feel<br />
About him and how a simple word from him<br />
Makes me smile like I never knew how<br />
How he's changed me and made a difference<br />
And when I talk to him, I want to be better<br />
I want to smile and laugh and love<br />
I've changed, and we've changed, and it's for the best.<br />
And other than the distance, I wouldn't have it any other way...<br />
If only I could call him my own...my love.<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ This is one of those weeks<br />
    The kind that rip your soul in two<br />
    Too much has been exposed<br />
       By myself<br />
       And you<br />
       And her<br />
One of those moments where I want to be like Alice<br />
    Look tearfully at you<br />
       And say<br />
          "Just take my picture"<br />
       And for once see what you see<br />
       And understand why you put up with me like you do<br />
    It's things like this that make me keep loving you<br />
    And hoping that maybe someday I'll have my chance<br />
To spend forever wondering what it would be like<br />
    that would kill.<br />
As one person said,<br />
    "The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. And that's what you've given me. That's what I'd hoped to give you forever."<br />
Sure, we make each other mad,<br />
    but it's those times in between<br />
    where we get to know each other even more<br />
    that's what keeps us<br />
As silly as it sounds, I'll do whatever it takes<br />
    Even if it's just for a day, a night, an hour, or a moment.<br />
    If nothing else, to end the wondering...<br />
    'Though I'm not sure if it fills your mind as it does mine...<br />
Although you said something once, that has played itself over<br />
    and over in my head.<br />
       "So there it is, that's what bothers me so damn much, and that's why I've got to fight with you everytime we start getting close because I'll start getting into it only to realize that I'm setting myself up to be hurt."<br />
    Yes, it does hurt us...but in a way, it almost makes this passion I feel for you that much stronger.<br />
    I know I'm an absolute pain-in-the-ass, and my insecurity and how self-centered I am get under your skin, but I will change - it'll probably take a long time (fortunately, time is something we have a lot of before this even begins to become a possibility), but I will continue to work on myself, and hopefully, someday, we'll fit.<br />
Sure, we'll always have our rough edges, but between you and I, if you want this, I'm in. I am all in.<br />
I can't believe it's taken me since July 19th to say this, but there it is.<br />
<br />
<br />
Now, if only I could say that to you without you thinking I've gone crazy.<br />
<br />
-----------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
<br />
You find your way back down.<br />
And I'll keep the area clear...please clear the area.<br />
When you find your way back down...in one piece.<br />
Then I'll just be waiting here...right here.<br />
<br />
Slowly...darling...nobody means anymore to me than you<br />
If you're in...baby then I'm in (into this)...with you, always.<br />
Careful...close to the edge...(You're scaring me)<br />
Fall in to my arms....(where did it all fall?)<br />
Fall...into love...love...<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I only pretend to be confident. In truth, I'm always scared; of what people think of me, of what I'm going to do with my life, that I'll always be single, that I'll turn out like my mom.<br />
I hate that I'm so lazy. And when I feel the most guilty I start working my ass off again till I wear myself out again. It seems to be an endless cycle for me.<br />
I've never gone more than two weeks without having a job since I was 14.<br />
I wish I was pretty.<br />
I'm unbelievable self-centered.<br />
I used to cut my wrists - well, more like scratch, because then I could blame it on being clumsy and it's incredibly believable. I didn't do it for attention, either. I just had to get the pain out.<br />
I'm not emo.<br />
However I'm not as happy as people think I am.<br />
I have the worst nightmares you could imagine. I can see, feel, hear, taste and smell everything - and it's so realistic that half so many of my dreams have mixed with my memories, I'm can't tell the difference between a lot of them anymore. It's terrifying.<br />
Especially since a lot of my dreams have come true.<br />
I'm far too intuitive. Maybe I'm closer to psychic and I just don't know it?<br />
There's something wrong with my heart, but no one believes me. Maybe it's all in my head?<br />
I've always secretly wanted to faint, just to know what it's like.<br />
I've always thought I would die young.<br />
I wish I was Asian. Mostly just so I could actually look cute and have pretty black  hair.<br />
I've been raped.<br />
So, if there was any doubt in your mind before, I'm not a virgin.<br />
And yes, I am fine with it now.<br />
Both of my biological parents have disowned me, so, to me, I only have one parent, and that's my Dad - the wonderful man who raised me and protected me.<br />
I still feel guilty for leaving him and my brother when I couldn't deal with living so close to my mom anymore.<br />
I'm very irresponsible.<br />
I don't get angry easily, but when I do, I'm kinda dangerous to be around.<br />
I'm bi-curious.<br />
I wish I was smart.<br />
I wish I was beautiful. And I wish I could believe people when they tell me I am.<br />
I used to be anorexic - and I guess I still go through my anorexic phases.<br />
I'm a very negative person.<br />
I have an extreme dislike for almost all children.<br />
I really like anime. And manga. And Japanese things.<br />
I'm desperate to learn how to do Irish step-dancing - I've wanted to be in Riverdance/Lord of the Dance/Feet of Flames since I first saw the videos as a little girl. Ballet and hip-hop are cool, too, though.<br />
I think I might have Borderline Personality Disorder. I have such intense mood swings it scares me sometimes.<br />
I'm terrified of heights, spiders, snakes, clowns, and the concept of drowning.<br />
I wish I was good at hand-to-hand combat. And shooting. Guns are quite fascinating.<br />
I'm in love with someone I've never met. And I don't think that's strange since Christians put their trust and faith in a God they've never seen, touched, or heard. I could at least touch this person someday, and I've heard him and talked to him. So if you're a Christian, don't judge me.<br />
I wish I was my own boss, and didn't have to talk to strangers.<br />
I'm so glad to no longer be working in the food business.<br />
I'd like to be part of a menage-a-trois someday. The whole idea is very sexy.<br />
I'm scared of failing expectations; others' and my own.<br />
I wish I could be with him, but as much as I wish that, I'm scared that I wouldn't meet his expectations and I don't want to lose his friendship. He means the world to me.<br />
I wish I was a great artist and photographer.<br />
I'd love to be a published writer someday, too.<br />
I wish I had wings, and I wish I could fly.<br />
I want to get a tattoo of wings on my back, but am worried that I wouldn't be able to wear dresses for performing without looking unprofessional. That's the only reason I don't have a tattoo.<br />
I'm a computer killer. Not by choice. I have the Midas touch when it comes to technology.<br />
I'm horribly insecure, and that's probably what drives most of the guys I like away.<br />
I love that work keeps me busy so I won't have to think as much.<br />
I don't feel 20, in my head, even though I am.<br />
I despise my mother and how manipulative she is. Even more than that, I hate how I seem to remind everyone of her. I don't want to be like here. Not even a little bit.<br />
I'm scared that people will think differently of me after reading this. I'm scared that I'll lose the people I love.<br />
I'm scared.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
2. Do you have a secret that you've never told ANYONE?<br />
Too freaking many.<br />
<br />
3. How do you handle stress?<br />
Not very well. I like driving when I'm stressed - but I currently don't own a car (will be fixed in a few months), so....I write or listen to music, or sleep.<br />
<br />
4. How would you spend your last day alive?<br />
With the people I love.<br />
<br />
5. Do you hide things well or do you have a guilty conscience?<br />

Is there such a thing as true love?<br />
<br />

HAH. I picked my Dad.<br />
<br />
8. What is the worst thing you've ever done that your parents DONT know about?<br />
Not going to answer that.<br />
<br />

<br />
1. Do you think you know the meaning of true love?<br />
Yes. <br />
<br />

Respect, honesty, humility, and understanding.<br />

5. Do you think best friends can be replaced?<br />
Not "replaced", but other people can be something like them.<br />
<br />
6. Name people that you can tell ANYTHING to:<br />
I could tell Ryan, Amie, Mary, Lizzle, Sarah (my dad's girlfriend), or Sethummer anything and they would always understand.. but for some reason i just chose not to open up to them very often.<br />
<br />
7. Are you the type that would rather stay at other peoples houses or have them at yours?<br />
Other peoples' houses.<br />
<br />
8. HONESTLY- have you ever wanted to watch a scary movie with someone just to be close to them?<br />
Yep.<br />
<br />
9. Is your family the.. "eat dinner at the table" type.. or the.. "get your food and eat wherever you want type."?<br />
Um....well, I'm an adult so my parents don't mind where I sit. Sometimes we sit at the table, but when we're at Sarah's house with the kids I normally opt for the livingroom cause it's quieter and there's TV.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

"Truth be told, my love is one that never was;<br />
Only that which time will never envy<br />
For all its glamour and appeal<br />
It is that which I do not desire,<br />
<br />
Love, as this, I do not embrace<br />
Nor pray to steal a kiss<br />
For that love, as it is often called<br />
Is but a calloused scar on a heart, once my own.<br />
<br />
If this is love, I will have no part in it<br />
For I would rather be alone,<br />
In heart and soul, for eternity<br />
Than hold close that which I cannot bear.<br />
<br />
"I love you;" no words wound like these.<br />
Do not love me. Do not love and lie as others.<br />
But, if this talk of love you believe,<br />
Remember I am a woman, not a saint.<br />
<br />
For each word spoken, and each word read<br />
Minutes of thought, and an hour besides<br />
For these are but whispers of the torrent kept still<br />
And only will has kept back that which I keep secret."<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ As most of my friends know, I am moving away from Tucson tomorrow morning and will be going back home to Kansas. I just found out yesterday that we don't have the internet at my house anymore, so I won't be getting online even half as much anymore. I'm hoping that once I get a steady job at home, that I can work out some sort of joint account so we can have internet at our house again, but I can't make any promises at this point since my job situation is still up in the air. Once I find out more details...I'll find some sort of way to relay them.<br />
I love you and all will miss you all very, very, VERY much!!!<br />
Don't forget about me, okay?<br />
I'll try to be back ASAP!<br />
<br />
-Tricia<br />
<br />
::edit::<br />
I bought a memory card for my camera today!!!! So I'll be taking LOTS of pictures on the way home!!! I have space for 300+ so, once I get internet again, I'll be uploading a LOT of pics to my MySpace and DeviantArt accounts.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ...everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?--Alice In Wonderland<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The only trouble is, the world is already that way.<br />
It feels like the universe has been knocked on it's side<br />
Mirrors are broken and lies are spilled<br />
And nothing makes sense at all.<br />
And my feelings, physical and mental,<br />
Are so contradictory I can hardly sleep<br />
I'm so exhausted and stressed out<br />
And I don't know what I'm supposed to do<br />
Or even what I want for anything or anyone<br />
<br />
I wish that for once I could have a normal conversation<br />
without my mind going blank or words tripping over themselves.<br />
There isn't much that is more annoying right now than trying to connect<br />
...it's like I'm trying to light a fire between us,<br />
but the wind of my thoughts and doubts keeps making the flame threaten to disappear<br />
because the pressure is too much and not enough<br />
And I can barely string words together enough to make a sentence<br />
And I'm scared you'll lose interest,<br />
Or be completely aghast at my stupidity<br />
<br />
Yes, I am far too insecure,<br />
But it's because I care so much<br />
About life and the people I love<br />
And how for once, I would love to not fuck everything up<br />
I'm so flighty and can't make up my mind to save my life<br />
And when I actually try to communicate it all comes out wrong<br />
And we're both at a loss for words because...<br />
Well, what can you say when the only responses to you<br />
Are from someone who would love to disappear at that exact moment?<br />
<br />
Does God ever feel like this?--At a loss for words?<br />
(Not that I'm at a loss for words now, but I was earlier...<br />
When you called and I had no clue what to say<br />
I was so exasperated with life, but didn't want to complain too much<br />
And yet I didn't want to sound so cheesily positive that you'd be annoyed<br />
And what I wanted most in that half hour was to be right there<br />
Breathing the same air and being at home--together)<br />
I sorta hope that He does...and that he'd pass down a guide<br />
How-to-NOT-be-an Idiot's Guide for Idiots...<br />
<br />
For the next five days, I'll be stranded<br />
With half of my life packed away<br />
And the other half waiting to be taken somewhere<br />
Old and familiar; somewhere it can call home<br />
Meanwhile, these last few days crawl by<br />
Practically groveling at the feet of transition<br />
As if to see if I'm really ready to start living again<br />
Or if this is just some cruel joke that I'll wake up from<br />
And still have another hundred days in exile.<br />
<br />
And this weakness that's gnawing at my insides<br />
Eroding my patience with a sickening dread<br />
That maybe my second wind is gone<br />
And I'm simply coasting along<br />
Hoping that I had enough strength to survive.<br />
I'm scared, for this reason as well...<br />
Scared that my weakness will disappoint<br />
And you'll dismiss any possibilities<br />
'Though, who am I to judge?<br />
<br />
And as far now, all I can do is wait<br />
At this crossroads tickling my fancy<br />
With each tendril of thought<br />
And perhaps something good will come of it<br />
Though it might not be worth such speculation<br />
The future isn't in favor of that sort of gamble<br />
Better to hold your breath and wish on stars<br />
Than put your hopes in someone<br />
For no human is truly trustworthy<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ avoidance couldn't be further from the truth.<br />
and your words burn like acid<br />
with no end in sight<br />
how can you be upset<br />
all I did was stay out of the way<br />
<br />
it feels like the day<br />
fifteen years ago<br />
when we visited that house<br />
it was raining and the scent was intoxicating<br />
it felt so intrusive<br />
walking through home<br />
not our own<br />
so beautiful, yet real<br />
something so dark and secretive<br />
should not be disturbed<br />
walking in the garden<br />
feeling the grinding crunch of pebbles<br />
beneath my shoes as we walked<br />
down the path<br />
and out of your life<br />
<br />
even as I was growing up<br />
I saw you betray him<br />
betray our family<br />
with your need for attention<br />
you're still an actress<br />
parading around<br />
in your short-lived glory<br />
it'll fail you and leave.<br />
leaving you, like a one-night stand,<br />
more shrunken and bitter<br />
as each act comes to a close<br />
<br />
who knows how long it will take<br />
for the chemistry<br />
and the laws of exchange<br />
to make you realize<br />
just how much you lost<br />
and maybe you'll finally hear<br />
the question that drives<br />
are you happy now?<br />
<br />
no, this is not avoidance.<br />
was not avoidance.<br />
never will be.<br />
only the continuance of a shadow.<br />
that was never meant to fit<br />
in your world. no matter.<br />
we'll all forget soon.<br />
rinse and reuse.<br />
this is the beauty<br />
of memory and loss.<br />
<br />
out of mind, out of sight<br />
with an inadvertent loss<br />
of connection<br />
apologies extended,<br />
with judgments accepted,<br />
and no words to defend.<br />
<br />
-------------------------------<br />
<br />
and...you.<br />
these questions<br />
probing my mind<br />
mostly of you<br />
nothing makes sense<br />
and these butterflies won't leave<br />
and nothing is black and white<br />
and I want to tell you<br />
I want to tell you each detail<br />
each little thought of you<br />
but I'm terrified<br />
that you'll think I'm too forward<br />
that I'm crazy<br />
that you can't handle all this<br />
that I'll scare you away<br />
that I'll lose you,<br />
even though you say I won't lose everyone<br />
and all this wondering leaves me<br />
f.i.n.e. and full of quotes<br />
from movies<br />
songs<br />
and snapshot memories of us<br />
alone and together<br />
young and innocent<br />
no holds barred<br />
<br />
how did you do it?<br />
how did you awaken this?<br />
something I had locked up so tightly<br />
and am now considering letting go<br />
for you, and only you<br />
and maybe I'm reading too much into it<br />
I probably am, as always<br />
thinking too much<br />
logical too little<br />
and just as<br />
freaked out<br />
insecure<br />
neurotic<br />
emotional<br />
...<br />
...<br />
and dramatic<br />
as always<br />
loyally,<br />
faithfully<br />
unpredictable.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Just a little something I made for my Dad, especially since I can't be at home right now. I used clips from A Little Princess and music from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles...and I'm pretty happy with the results. <br />
<br />
A Little Princess was one of my favorite movies to watch with Dad...and he told me that he was thinking about it this morning, and he liked it, too! ^_^<br />
<br />
So, without further ado... <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLZPXOSgsk8">[link]</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I just found out that my grandpa's dying. This is my mom's dad...lives here in Tucson. I haven't seen or talked to him in about a year...because of family issues. I thought things were going alright between us, but then last spring my mom called, asking what I'd done to upset him, and I honestly had no idea what she was talking about. But, because of what she said, I avoided talking to him from then on out...and the fact that we'd had differing opinions on how we should handle what had happened with my immediate family didn't help, either. I will do anything--pretty much literally--to avoid confrontations...hence the not returning calls or anything. It just made it easier to pretend that nothing was wrong, ya know? And now I feel awful about it. <br />
He probably feels like his whole family has abandoned him...his daughter's run off with someone who's half her age...left her husband and torn the whole family apart...and I'm sure things with me didn't help, either. I'm just hoping he won't hate me...that maybe he'll still love me, despite how I've been avoiding talking to him.<br />
I'm praying that somehow I can get a ride to go see him...before it's too late. Even if it's just to hold his hand for a moment and get to tell him that I love him and I'm so sorry for everything. <br />
