                <description><![CDATA[ Change the females to males and today this is how I feel.<br />Falling apart...drinking vodka......thank you Coheed & Cambria for saying things for me that I have not the motivation to write.  <br />I'm going to finally finish the steps necessary to be a Suicide Girl.  I'm fucking up school again. I'm not writing. I'm just not good at "life".  <br /><br /><br /><br />Rocked silent in a soft lullaby<br />Panic stirred me awakened by a ringing phone in time<br />Where and when would I see her?<br />Crazy were the words that scribbled out your mouth<br />I stuttered replacing your face to those words<br />Where and when would I kill her?<br />I'll wish on this, I'll wish with this<br />I wish... to the bitter end of my day<br />Where were you?<br />So you had your turn and you made it work<br />Now I'm the laughing stock of your joke<br />Crazy as it may seem I cried for you when you<br />Told me to date all of the things that made you end up in my life<br />And I'll believe anything anything I have no luck with girls<br /><br />I overheard that you were unhappy too<br />Misleading trust into a relationship that makes no sense<br />Over and out Connecticut<br />But you had your back turned as you faded away<br />At the end of my day I found out<br />You weren't worth what I thought of you<br /><br />Write this down in that diary that you abuse<br />Can we make plans can I just get through to you<br />Is this weird... do I scare her?<br />I'll wish on this, I'll wish with this<br />I wish... that you could share the love you'd shared with others with me<br /><br />This isn't love so forever let it go... forever will it burn<br />This isn't love there on the backend of forever I wish I would never hurt again<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.burningman.com">[link]</a><br /><br /><br />BURNING MAN!<br />I am so there! The theme this year is evolution and I am ravaging my brain trying to think of costume ideas......any one want to help me out with some creative ideas?  I am thinking of perhaps something that has to do with a mutated gene, but as far as how to create that I'm a little bumfuzzled. I guess I could be a monkey one day. That seems to lame for me though. I want to go all out for this because it's such an amazing opportunity and I want to be all I can be! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" />  I don't really have any art to offer, unless I make a use word collage which is probably what is going to happen. I'd like to have a theme for myself each day and night, but that might be hard to actually pull off.  I'm sure body paint is going to take over at some point because it's easy and it'll be hot as hell. Maybe hotter.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I found this here<br /><a href="http://www.powwows.com/gathering/general/469-true-origin-thanksgiving.html">[link]</a><br /><br />If you read the comments it gets pretty interesting between some of the readers. It's sad how ignorant people are. It's even sadder that people have an opportunity to learn truths and they turn the other cheek.<br />This is also backed by a great website <a href="http://www.current.com">[link]</a><br /><br /><a href="http://current.com/items/89556518/the_true_origin_of_thanksgiving.htm">[link]</a><br /><br />Getting together with your family to eat is always great, but people need to learn and accept the truth about this celebrated American holiday.  If you tell people "happy thanksgiving" you need to read this essay. It deeply saddens me that this was part of the beginning of our "great" country.  I am even more discontented by the mistreatment of Indians <b>today</b>. It is embarrassing.  Thanksgiving Day will always be a day of remorse, pity, and anger to me. I don't know if all the facts in this are true, but it all seems more realistic than the shit I was fed in school.  If you don't believe it, check the facts yourself. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shrug.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":shrug:" title="Shrug" /><br /><br /><br /><br />"In mid-winter 1620 the English ship Mayflower landed on the North American coast(at Plymouth Rock) delivering 102 Puritan exiles. The original Native people "Indians") of this stretch of shoreline had already been killed off in great numbers. In 1614 a British expedition had landed there. When they left they took 24 Indians as slaves and left smallpox, syphilis and gonorrhea behind. That plague swept the so called "tribes of New England",destroyed some villages totally.<br /><br /><br />The Puritans landed and built their colony called "the Plymouth Plantation" near the desired ruins of the Indian village of Pawtuxet. They ate from abandoned cornfields grown wild.<br />Historical accounts tell us that<br />only one Pawtuxet named Squanto had survived. He had spent the last years as a slave to the English and Spanish in Europe. The Pilgrim crop failed miserably, but the agricultural expertise of Squanto produced 20 acres of corn, without which the Pilgrims would have surely perished.<br />Squanto spoke the colonists' language and taught them how to plant corn and how to catch<br />fish. Squanto also helped the colonists negotiate a peace treaty with the nearby Wampanoag tribe, led by the chief Massasoit.<br /><br /><br />These were very lucky breaks for the colonists.<br />Thanks to the good will of the Wampanoag, the Puritans not only survived their first year but had an alliance with the<br />Wampanoags that would give them almost two decades of peace. In celebration of their good fortune, the colony's governor, William Bradford, declared a three-day feast after the first harvest of 1621. It later became known as "Thanksgiving", but the Pilgrims never called it that.<br /><br /><br />The "Indians" who attended were not even invited.<br />The pilgrims only invited Chief Massasoit and it was Massasoit who then invited ninety or more of his "Indian"<br />brothers and sisters to the affair to the chagrin of the indignant Europeans. No turkey, cranberry sauce or pumpkin pie was served, no prayers were offered and the "Indians" were not invited back for any other such meals. The Pilgrims did however consume a good deal of brew on that day.<br />In<br />fact, each Pilgrim drank at least a half gallon of ale a day which they preferred even to water.<br /><br /><br />The peace that produced the Thanksgiving Feast of 1621 meant that the Puritans would have fifteen years to established a firm foothold on the coast.<br />Until 1629 there were no more than 300 Puritans in New England,<br />scattered in small and isolated settlements. But their survival inspired a wave of Puritan invasion that soon established growing Massachusetts towns north of Plymouth; Boston and Salem. For ten years, boat loads of new settlers came.<br /><br /><br />As the Europeans' numbers increased, they proved not nearly as generous as the Wampanoags.<br />On arrival, the Puritans discussed "who legally owns all this land? "Massachusetts Governor Wintrop declared the "Indians" had not "subdued" the land, and therefore all uncultivated lands<br />should, according to English Common Law, be considered "public domain." This meant they belonged to the king. In short, colonists decided they did not need to consult the "Indians". When they seized the new lands, they only had to consult the representative of the crown (meaning the local governor).<br /><br /><br />The Puritans embraced a line from Psalms 2:8, "Ask of me, and I shall give thee,<br />the heather for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of he earth for thy possession.<br />"<br /><br />Contrary to popular mythology the Pilgrims were no friends to the local Indigenous People ("Indians").

                <description><![CDATA[ It seems  that as I age the amount of things I write about dwindle.  I can remember when I felt like I <i>needed</i> to take the time to say what I had to say. <br /><br />I feel so tired all of the time.  I constantly feel out of place, like I'm not really wanted.  A feeling I've had my whole life. <br /><br />I  just kind of wander in and out of focus. I catch glimpses of enticing images quite consistantly. <br /><br />And even as I type this I feel like I have nothing to say....I'm stuck on repeat and GOOD GRIEF is it becoming redundant! (ha .. ..ha) REPEAT...REDUNDANT THE CONSTANT REDUNDANCY IS THE STORY OF MY LIFE<br />I am SO bored with myself! REINVENT YOURSELF, GIRL!<br /><br />I'm slowly becoming a woman, yet I feel so much like a little girl.  I do things that are considered "adult", but I loathe each bill and additional "responsibility" that chases my tail.  My hair flutters in the wind of my speedy retreat. I must keep running; I don't want to be caught. For then I fear I will be just another suit marching redundantly around the streets of America. <br /><br />I'm beginning to think that I'm not that special.  I used to think I was really something, but I don't feel that I've earned the title of extraordinary.  <br /><br />I have my own boy of venus, as bjork might say. It's hard sometimes.  I'm mostly inward when I should be flourishing or wilting right out in the open.  I keep growing inwardly. It isn't just the ingrown hairs.  I keep a lot nestled inside and wait for it to do something with itself. <br />I just kind of sigh and switch views until another part of me takes over. I tell myself I'm just growing up and one day everything inside of me won't feel so heavy. I want to do so many things ..... so many things that I want to do are so far out of reach. <br /><br /><br />Will I ever capture all that I want?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ With millions of people starving and suffering throughout our country, throughout our world, don't you want to aid in the cause of Change?  With all the people bickering and battleing over money and power, don't you want to fight for peace, happiness, and the most precious thing of all - LIFE?  Why do I continue to survive, day after day without pursuing the changes and striving for all of the stunning things in life that I seek so fiercly?  My little flame burns so intensly as I sit on my little porch of my little house.  Everything is so small to me, everything except the fire that I dream of that lights the world.  I grow more and more eager each day as I wait patiently with the rest of the world for someone to do something.  I have become weary and tired of the things I see and hear on the television.  There are so many issues and problems with the way that life is conducted and no one can make it better for the masses.  Greed and politics are almost one word and freedom is something that must be fought for not by our armies in other countries, but by YOU and your neighbor.  We are all under seige by those who patrol and conquor us.  A jet flies over head and for some reason I don't believe it is taking passangers to a destination.  Its roar is too loud and my radical paranoia has transformed from an innocent embryo to a sight-seeing, curious being.  Where are the others?  Where are those that are willing to sacrifice to attain a goal?  Where are the people who see life not for materials, tv shows, and the thousands of frivolous things that people swoon over? There are islands across the world that will one day be covered by the water from melted ice-caps and I want to BE THERE.  I want to stand on their beachy shores and forget all about "modern" life and enjoy the moment for what it is.  I don't want to pay for water and a safe place to sleep that should be universially shared instead of bargained for.  I want everyone to be able to do what THEY want to do, not what they are forced to do by bill collectors, selfish corporations, and unsympathetic bosses.  Why do we compromise our LIVES for the demands of others'?  <br /><br />I am tired of this life I have come to know and I seek much more.  <br />Is there anyone else out there?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />P.S<br />On a completely different note, I am in desperate need of a new avatar.  I have had the same one since I joined DA and I feel it does not represent me any longer.  If anyone can help me out or point me in the right direction I would be SUPER happy!<br /><br />PLEAAAAAASEEE<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I'm not sure if this is a pleasant feeling or not as of yet; at times I feel comfortable and others I do not.  Being comfortable emotionally is something that is a constant challenge. I wish I were not this way.  <br /><br />My schooling is coming along at the pace of a sickly snail.  I know now why my parents told me to not fuck around. I am trying desperately to keep a positive attitude.  My mood changes so many times throughout each day that it is more than difficult to stay POSITIVE.  Perhaps if I were not so easily influenced this would not be so.  Shifting from the inside out and twisting left to right are difficult tasks to achieve. <br /><br />There is much more that I have to say, but I'm being shooed along.  Perhaps I'll make use of my spare time. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />______Worthy reading material______<br /><br /><br />Expect Resistance --> <a href="http://www.crimethinc.com/books/er.html">[link]</a><br /><br />Days of War, Nights of Love --> <a href="http://crimethinc.com/books/days.html">[link]</a><br /><br />The End of America --> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/End-America-Warning-Patriot-Citizens/dp/1400156467/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1218851951&sr=8-1">[link]</a><br /><br /><br />I'm hoping to buy this and distribute its pieces around my new dwelling area.

                <description><![CDATA[ Deviantart seems dead to me. ....I really enjoy the few constructive comments I get occasionally, but it seems all in vain. There are too many days when I see the same thing over and over.  I'm ready to see some revolutionary art, instead of the same boring lusty images over and over.  I don't want to just see a well-taken photo or a nicely painted scene.  Where are the things that are supposed to help me to think and that FORCE me to think?   It's sad; this is the only art site I'm familiar with and I feel I'm not really a part of it.  I'm moving very soon so perhaps I'll find my revolutionaries there.  I need my mind to be opened, not bombarded with the same things consistently.  <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I began reading an old online journal of mine from years ago.  It's funny how so many things change, yet so much stays the same. In my childhood desperation I had found the beginnings of what would shape and mold my adult desperations.  <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />If you read, you should take the time to read this. <br />I'm halfway through the book and it is absolutely amazing.  Talk about some great fucking ideas! I enjoy every page that I read, for there are all the thoughts that I have ever thunk in all the ways I wish I could explain them.  There is a huge part of me in this book and I want to share it with the world. I wish I could give a copy to everyone I know.  Everyone I don't know. If you don't do anything with this, at least spread the word. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Days-War-Nights-Love-Crimethink/dp/097091010X">[link]</a><br /> <br /><br />The actual site that the writers of the book have....it isn't working currently, but hopefully it will begin working again sometime soon... <a href="http://www.crimethinc.com">[link]</a><br /><br /><br />AND<br />I found this awesome book in a bookstore the other day called Post Secret.  It's filled with postcards that have secrets on them from people all over the place.  It was really inspiring to read a lot of them, not to mention entertaining.  I sat in the bookstore floor for an hour and a half reading two of the books.  <br /><a href="http://www.postsecret.blogspot.com">[link]</a><br /><br /><br />Reading not your thing? <br />Then watch this movie.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.zeitgeistthemovie.com">[link]</a><br /><br /><br />Maybe some of these things will inspire someone.  They sure have done it for me.  <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Farewell?<br /><br />I'm going to live here ----> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/library.gif" width="50" height="30" alt=":library:" title="mmmm books..." /><br /><br /><br /><br />My two favorite writers on DA.

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm not significant enough.<br /><br />I have always felt that I will never be enough to suffice.  There is always something better. <br /><br />Let me have my rollercoaster, please.  When do I let my hair flutter behind me as my body gets slammed and slung by the impact of what is inside?  Not outside.  INSIDE.  <br /><br />NO one inhabits my skin except myself.  Do you know how it feels to be me?  There are some days when I see this wretched movie playing in my head....repeating...repeating....but each time it's a different scenerio.  Same gist, different setting.  And I shall never speak the words again. Yet I see it everyday. <br /><br />I think of my feelings in the past two years and I wonder if the people that have had the most pull even know.  <br /><br />Look how vulnerable I am.  If this doesn't work I'm fucked.  I'm wide open for pain and disappointment.    <br /><br />Fuck everyone who has the nerve to judge me. <br />Fuck me for having the nerve to judge others. <br /><br />I can't believe how much time I've wasted, how much energy I've let go. <br /><br />NO WONDER I'M JUST A FILLER!<br /><br />There will be better.  I'm just waiting on it to happen.  <br /><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shrug.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":shrug:" title="Shrug" /><br /><br /><br /><br />P.S.<br /><br />I AM NOT FEELING EGGHEAD. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br /><br />I'm going to live here ----> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/library.gif" width="50" height="30" alt=":library:" title="mmmm books..." /><br /><br /><br /><br />My two favorite writers on DA.

                <description><![CDATA[ There was a time when I thought I was safe. <br /><br /><br /><br />My heart is in my stomach and my stomach is stuck in my throat. My bowls are in my bed and my bed is in the middle of the frozen ocean. <br /><br />I'd use my arms to paddle, but I can't figure out which direction to go.  I could always go back, I feel like I'm back anyway, though.  No point in going much further backwards.  Been there, done that.  <br /><br />To the left is uncharted territory by physical attributes; my mind has been there more than many times.  The same goes for the right.<br /><br />And forward, forward there are all the things I've seen in my mind, but pushed away for fear of them never happening.  Who wants to want something that they are afraid of being an illusion? It's a beautiful sequence of images, I love seeing the stunning things the mind can produce from a few simple emotions. Why must I be so hopeful?  Am I at a stop sign?  Will I collect 200 dollars after I pass GO or will my hopefully little body get stepped on again?  <br />Let it go........................................<br />Seems like such an easy thing to say.  I opened that little box now someone please tell me how the fuck do I close it and feel peacefull and safe again?<br />How does one move on completely? With no other thought of the past?  NO OTHER THOUGHT!>!>?!?!?!?!  I want no more of these thoughts.  <br /><br /><br /><br />CONQUER AND DEVOUR.<br />It's time to bring the fire down. <br /><br /><br />My hollow has been filled, for sure.  Now give me a needle and thread and I'll patch the remnants up as best as I can.<br /><br /><br /><br />Where to go.....where to go......<br /><br />Wear it and go?  Is the patch ugly or is the filling ugly?  I can't determine yet.  I can only hope that the wound will scar and fade.  My coverings are strong.  Much stronger than I.  <br /><br /><br /><br />When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be...<br /><br />AND...<br /><br />I'm supposed to remember who I wanted to be.<br /><br />My two favorite writers on DA.

                <description><![CDATA[ I've been racking my brain for a new way to create. As I've said many times - I feel as though I have said the same thing over and over again.  I feel I've begun to overcome that sense of writers' boredom, but I need new ways to create.  My mind needs to open up more and willingly receive what is being sent.  I need to relax more and worry about the things that I consider most precious. My career as a writer is a bleak one thus far and this more than upsets me.  There are so many writers in the world today thanks to the internet and a lot of what I read is dreadfully boring.  I don't want to toot my own horn or anything, but there are so many things on this site and so many others that get more attention than they truley deserve.  Over and over are the same type of things submitted and each time they are adored. This leaves people like me wondering what the hell I have to do to get people here and interest them.  <br />Hey! I know!  I'll show some titty and maybe that'll work! Haha, it did just a little, but not really enough to count.  It made me feel special there for a bit, but then I realized that those aren't the people who are going to read my writing, nor do I feel they will have anything worth saying about it. If nothing else, my self-esteem went up a notch for a few days.   <br />And yet, I'm still left wondering what should I do next?  There are so many things that I have not done and I want to do.  I feel like I'm holding myself back....like I've been saving it all up for the right moment. <br /><br />Well, that moment is coming.  I cannot let the things inside of me fade away any longer.  . .. I think of all the beautiful things I've thought and concocted and I feel ashamed for letting it go.  <br /><br />What do you people do when you want to be more motivated and inspired?  I need to do something about my lack of motivation.....<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/blowkiss.gif" width="35" height="21" alt=":blowkiss:" title="Here's a kiss for you, my love!" /><br /><br />1.

                <description><![CDATA[ Apparently my plan didn't work.<br /><br /><br /><br />DAMMIT!<br /><br /><br /><br />READ MY FUCKING WRITING!  LEAVE A COMMENT, EVEN IF YOU HATED IT.....ESPECIALLY IF YOU HATED IT.<br />I've been writing more and I need some feedback.  A little love wouldn't be so hard to share.  I want to know what peoples thoughts are when they read my writing and what emotions it summons.<br />My goal is to write things so powerful that the reaction is jumbled brain waves and jello knees. POW!<br />Anyone here even read this fucking thing? Other than the people that I know?  My account is going stagnat and I feel like there isn't much else I can do to save it.  <br />(maybe if you write something REALLY GOOD)<br />I'm tired of letting my brain flop like a suffocating fish.  WHERE ARE MY PEOPLE?  The people that are supposed to make me think and not look like obnoxious attention feeding bigheads.  <br />Boy, it sure is going to be hard for me to keep my cool.<br />I really can't wait to lock my new door and let it all hang out. I want to see how long I can seclude myself.  I wonder what will come out?<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/fuzzydemon.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":fuzzydemon:" title="Fuzzydemon" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ A quick recollection of Steph.<br />Enjoy.<br /><br /><br /><br />____<br /><br />"change and motion are illusions and that there is only one being, continuous, material, and motionless." Zeno! you were blinD!!!! THey all had such in depth ideas and they all believed them to be the Truth. They were all so unshakable. Did they ever question themselves or their theorys? If they never truly answered life's questions then how is anyone else suposed to? they thought they were right, their conclusions set in stone....but what has come from that? Who in this era has thought of anything so astounding, even if it is incorrect? WHo in this time has thought of something truly spectacular? i can think of no one. ive always felt this strong urge to do something. to be someone of intense knowledge. I NEED A TEACHER. no one impresses me. i cant just think of seomthing and deem it correct. always questions, always other thigns to determine. ntohing is ever just right. nothig ever IS. the only thing i believe in is love. who needs all of these answerless questions if you have love. define love! give me some time and i will tell you what it is and you will fall down, bewildered! i feel it and i will explain it. everything else means nthoing to me. nothing! i dotn need desk and questions and class and house and monies and car and gas and clothes and apple to feel that. its intense ad n whehter or not it will get me through life i dont kow. but i will trudge on.............intoxicated and bewlidered. the end is near, me dearlies. it is very near. first, castrophy.....then panic....looters! then they will strike...and we will all be left in a state of confusion. who will be left/. will anyone be left? i hope love will be. <br />pay mind! silly heads! i just know i have what i need. regardless of these meaningless earthbound factores. . i have all i need. i really dont see anthing else that is even close to being as important. waking up, covered in kisses is all i need. comfort, beingneeded, needing.....everying else is VOID. configuring the problems of the world and the country are stupid. those prombles will never be solved and i WILL NOT waste my precious time trying to sort them out. we are doomed. dont waste your time on trying to find a way out. accept it and feel comfort in knowing that its better for everyone if it is ended. poof!<br /><br />______<br /><br /><br />...i dont really wan t to watch my head roll down the stair or some random college building....that wouldnt do me any good.<br /><br /><br />_____<br /><br />dammit im going to go outside and listen to the wind blow while my little cyclopse eye follows me around to inspect me! i shouldn't have tried to cut the damn thing up....or it wouldn't have bit me. fucking hell!<br /><br />____<br /><br />Time to let time keep ticking....violently, randomly, happily, dishonestly, metaphorically, literally. I'll never win, I'll always be stick in some hole with some disease clawing at the side of the brick trying to get in. It won't work and I'll keep thrashing my body and mind against every barrier. After so long, you become numb and each shove against whatever barrier/wall is no big deal. You can laugh about it. It's not what you may have expected, but nothing ever is. and it's alright, I don't mind. He puts the weights into my little heart. <br /><br /><br />____<br /><br /> i see through four eyes instead of two. its all so strange, but darling, we must compromise. the letters blur and dance and the screen prances around the library, but i am still here in my po0fy prom dress- dehydrated and whimsical. im trying to determine whether or not its okay to break the rules, because i have been doing so so far. la dee daaaa, where will the white spider crawl? i wanted to finish that story today, but i dont believe i can. spouting is much more effective. <br /><br />____<br /><br />but im not the only one to receive those glorious, breathtaking glances that penetrate my soul.<br /><br /><br />no one ever is, doll. you have to realize that you'll never be the only one. you have to realize you will never be enough to conqure even the tamest of creatures. there will always be something better. <br />[i know, that's why i want to go heaven. i can be happy there and nothing can hurt my heart.<br /><br /><br />_____<br /><br /><br />When I look back, I laugh at that girl. She didn't know anything, but thought she knew everything. <br /><br />___<br /><br /> Too bad I can't round up my deep-thinking friends and trek to Mars. Let's have tea and discuss the war! <br /><br />___<br /><br />What is this>! Crazy new life I've stumbled upon...insane adventures every day, cruisin with my two crazy bffs, singing about being high...I should have been in class, but I just couldn't resist going out and LIVING my life. Sorry. Fuck that expensive peice of paper....I don't want that shit anyway,. can i please just grab some shit and go on an excursion. 3 weeks, maybe 4 or 2 months, I'll just g... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ A notion of character, not so much discredited as simply forgotten, once held that people only came into themselves partway through their lives.  They woke up, were they lucky enough to have consciousness, in the act of doing something they already knew how to do: feeding themselves with currants.  Walking the dog.  Knotting up a broken bootlace.  Singing antiphonally in the choir. Suddenly: This is I, I am the girl singing this alto line off-key, I am the boy loping after the dog, and I can see myself doing it as, presumably, the dog cannot see itself.  How peculiar!  I lift on my toes at the end of the dock, to dive into the lake because I am hot, and while isolated like a specimen in the glassy slide of summer, the notions of <i>hot</i> and <i>lake</i> and <i> I </i> converge into a consciousness of consciousness - in an instant, in between launch and landing, even before I canonball into the lake, shattering both my reflection and my old notion of myself.<br />
<br />
That was what was once believed.  Now, it seems hardly to matter when and how we become ourselves - or even what we become.  Theory chases theory about how we are composed.  The only constant: the abjuration of personal responsibility.  <br />
<br />
We are the next thing the Time Dragon is dreaming, and nothing to be done about it.<br />
<br />
We are the fanciful sketch of wry Lurline, we are droll and ornamental, and no more culpable than a sprig of lavender or a sprig of lightning, and nothing to be done about it. <br />
<br />
We are an experiment in situation ethics set by the Unnamed God, which in keeping its identity secret also cloaks the scope of the experiment and our chances of success or failure at it - and nothing to be done about it.<br />
<br />
We are loping sequences of chemical conversions, acting ourselves converted.  We are twists of genes acting ourselves twisted; we are wicks of burning neuroses acting ourselves wicked.  And nothing to be done about it.  And nothing to be done about it.  <br />
<br />
Not everyone is born a witch or a saint.  Not everyone is born talented, or crooked, or blessed; some are born definite in no particular at all.  We are a fountain of shimmering contradictions, most of us.  Beautiful in the concept, if we're lucky, but frequently tedious or regrettable as we flesh ourselves out.<br />
<br />
The governesses of the monied classes often held that a child ought to be kept from witnessing cruelty and ugliness, the better to preserve some ounce of innocence.  Rural grannies and spinster aunts - like the Nanny who had helped raise Elphaba - neither mollied or coddled.  They believed it was better for a child to know what befalls a chicken when the feast of Lurlinemass rolls around.  Better to learn - from a distance- the tricks perpetrated on the weak, the distractible, the unlucky. <br />
<br />
Both pedagogical stances, however, relied on a common assumption.  Growth and change were viewed as a reaction to conditions met.  One might as easily argue, however, that it is the world's obligation to respond to children.  By force of personality, by dint of their vicious beauty and untamed ways, children tromp into the world ready to disfigure it.  Children surrender nothing when faced with the world: it is the world that gives up, over and over again.  By so giving up, of course, it renews itself - that is the secret.  Dying in order to live, that sort of thing.  <br />
<br />
You could catalog the thousands ways people shrink from life, as if chance and change are by their nature toxic, disfiguring.  Elphaba, with her sympathies far more substantial than her luck, had at least wrestled with the questions.  She'd shoved, and barked, and made herself at right nuisance.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The only thing that lasts forever is change. <br />
<br />
I've always known that, but I do my best to ignore it.  It's sad to know deep down that I yearn for so much and I'll never have it.  I've done so much to make what I have work for the moment and knowing that it won't always be makes me more than melancholy. I don't want to lose what keeps me going. It had  been so long since I'd felt truly worthwhile....it's hard to tell if I'll ever feel accomplished again. I know what I have to do, I've known what I've had to do for so long and every day that I continue breathing I continue to hide from what is to come.  I'm terrified.  I can count on one hand how many people I can rely on and without my safety net I crash.  I grow stronger and more aware everyday, but the deeper I fall the further away I am.  I honestly think I'll crumble without my makeshift backbone.  It is horrible of me to rely on other people to keep me going... I'm just so scared. To be alone and unsuccessful all at once is my Hell.  I cried a little as I typed this.  Oh, how desolate it is to be vulnerable.  I'll be here awhile. <br />
<br />
I can only grow from this.  <br />

not an on-going thing.<br />
More like a stone<br />
skipping across the surface<br />
only to sink.<br /><br />My life is a never-ending rollercoaster of wild emotion, rash decisions, and consistant fickle pickleness.  *sigh*<br />
<br />
And what do <i>I</i> do? I go bacck and forth......I want to be here...but I liked that place.  <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I will forever be an example of what it is like to not know what you want.  <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ This is becoming more and more frequent.  I suppose that is a good thing....God knows I haven't written much of anything for the past two years.  It's still hard to.  Every thought seems pointless.......nothing astounding seems to pass my way.  It is all so ordinary. What happened to epiphanies?  I pretty much lost everything when Hopes' flame began to dwindle. It continues to fade; it is only a matter of time before it has vanquished permantly.  And then there will be no reason, rhyme, or rationale.  Perhaps I will find peace in that.   <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I was thinking and I concluded that perhaps some people deserve to be miserable.  What goes around does come around.  <br />
<br />
It  might be a little horrible of me to think that, especially to wish it; i have a lot to come my way.  But that is justice and justice should be rightfully served.  Little things add up- heaps upon heaps atop the BIG things that are already enormous mountains.  That is a lot of karma to come back around.   No, I always tried my best to do my best.  So happy fucking birthday. <br />

I have 6 days until I leave this place.  Two and a half weeks of not being here will be wonderful.  Each setting will be different, some probably not so pleasant, but dammit I am ready for it.  I am picturing myself lying on the beach at night - a slight breeze and a thousand stars overhead.  I will be at peace.  I pray that peacfullness can find its way into me ....if only for a little while. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/relax.gif" width="31" height="23" alt=":relax:" title="Relax" /><br />
You'd better be there. It wouldn't be fitting otherwise. <br />

I typed one of these the other night....<br />

I wish it would have worked, cause it was good.<br />

   just like last time, i mostly just had to get rid of the old and go with the new.<br />
<br />
<br />
  "<br />
<br />
it seems to be a good philosophy so far. <br />
<br />
<br />
The more and more I dance the more I realize how fucking much I love it.  I honestly wish I could do that every day of my life. Not only would I get a fabulous workout, I'd be so much more happy. <br />
<br />
I think I'm working on that anyway. <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ im only doing this because i have to. <br />
i wish more than anything that i could go back in time , a time before any of this or THAT...and i would simply end my life. <br />
i would not have to make such a decision right now. i would not have had my heart shattered and i would not be shattering a heart.  a heart that i dearly care about and wish nothing but the best for ....one that i could see myself with possibly again.  after all that talk of life together and what furniture we'd make out of beer caps....i still see it. i dont know if that is because it is embedded into my skull  or if it is because it could still happen. in the future.  <br />
<br />
i know you dont want to hear that.  you're going to have to.  im going to have to say a lot of things out loud that i can barely think about and it is going to hurt.  i am vulnerable.  i am confused.  i am heartbroken.  ...i am complete.  i have been connected to a soul for a long time and it is still there.  it takes more and more out of me each time i turn away, i die each time i turn away.  i bleed and bleed and lay in the floor only to bleed more.  <br />
<br />
and then<br />
for some fucking reason i look at you and it's all okay. <br />
i hate you for that. for making it that easy.  i feel so guilty. i feel like such a traitor. i am.  <br />
<br />
but<br />
i adore you for that as well.  i am horrible at explaining myself...this is the only way i can do it and have it make sense.  i am horrible at looking people in the eyes and just...letting go.  you helped do that to me, you know.  ive been here before.  i remember how it ended. <br />
<br />
even though it never did. <br />
<br />
<br />
- did you know that no quarter is 11 mintues and 11 seconds long? -<br />
<br />
*makes a wish*<br />
<br />
im sorry that i am typing this.  i dont really want you to have to read it. but you need to.  <br />
better yet,<br />
i need to <b>say</b> some things. and i think you do too. <br />
<br />
this is going to take a long time for me to get over. <br />
ill tell you this tomorrow.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I just read something that brought back a thousand memories.  I really liked it.  I hated it, I liked it, I hated it , and then I realized how much I really liked it in the first place. <br />
<br />
I can remember what a big fucking deal it was while it was happening. Everyone had to get their piddely word in. Like it really mattered.  It did at the time. I really wish I could hug Michael right now. I would thank him for that, I would thank him for telling me what he thought of me.  Then I'd tell him that crack fucks and geniouses are just the same in the end.  There are days I wish I could go back to that little jail cell of a room and relive all of the intense, heartfelt, crazy conversations I had with him.  Michael, if you ever read this...I fucking love your stupid, <b>cracker fuck</b> ass.  It's crazy to think I've known some of these people I see so often for such a long fucking time.  There is so much history....I have to wonder where it all went.  I wish I could just sit down and relive every moment I've ever cherished.  It would take weeks, but it would be worth it.  It's just so amazing how things change and how some things stay the same.  <br />
<br />
I tried to solve some of my puzzle today....I think I got a good start, but it will be awhile before things are set in stone.  I hate to rush them.....but I cannot take this anymore.  It is either this or that and I don't want that anymore.  All things must come to an end.  It's so hard to look into those eyes and not wonder "what if?".  I am tired of living on cloud nine where everyone is happy and everything seems perfect.  It's not.  This chapter of my life is finished. <br />
<br />
Begin Chapter 20.<br />
<br />
After all that has happened in my life in the past seven years I can't help but wonder what the fuck is going to happen next.  Worse?  Better?  Am I ever going to do anything with myself and my writing? I should be a junior in college next year.  AHAHA.  <b>Should</b>.  No.  I <i>might</i> have enough credits to be a sophomore.  Let's cross our fingers.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ......sigh. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I think if I could say anything right at this moment to the entire world, it would be "FUCK!"  Just for the simple fact that about 30 mintues ago some lady yelled at me for saying it to someone that was about to sexually harrass me.  This would not be the first time that this stupid motherfucker has bothered me during a nice day on campus...or anywhere for that matter.  Not only has he decided to grope me whenever he feels necessary on mulitiple occassions, but he constantly likes to talk about "hooking up" with me.  No matter who's around, where I am, or what is going on, he always has to fucking say something.  Today I got lectured on proper lanugage use because of this douchebag.  Anyway, the whole point is, if I could tell the WHOLE world ONE thing today it would definintely be "FUCK!"  Apparently saying fuck isn't a nice thing to do in a public place EVEN if you are being harrassed.  Does, "Go away and do not talk to me" have a different meaning than I thought?  Because after saying it 6+ times I would think that one would get the FUCKing picture.  And then the motherfucker had enough nerve to say, "Maybe you should have found a better way to pay for Russia."  <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>WHAT THE FUCK</b>?????<br />
<br />
<br />
Why is it that people see it necessary to bring up things into arguments or conversations that have <i>nothing</i> to do with what you're actually talking about?!  WHY do people do that?  I don't understand it and it makes me want to smash things.  <br />
<br />
<br />
God, I need a cigerette.  I really need to write something other than a journal entry.  I've been tempted a few times in the past week or two, but I have yet to do so.  I feel really disappointed in myself. <br />
I'm keep getting older and I still have nothing really to show for it.  A broken heart and a few measley college credits.  I'm hopeful that things are changing though.  I feel change.  Kind of like the midnight breeze in the spring.  <br />
<br />
You can always feel that.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ After all I said, this is the response I get?   Why should I be gentle with <i>your</i> stupid heart? I am so fucking vulnerable, in more than one aspect of my ..uhh...romantic life and I am stupified.  How the fuck can someone just pretend like telling a lie is no big deal?  Everytime I turn around it's a different story, but always the same old feeling.  I thought I was a stupid little bitch and then -<b>BAM</b>-suddenly I am a goddess again.  And I was just really beginning to let myself feel good.  There can be no "mending" right now. I keep telling myself that if it's supposed to happen, it will.  I have mended until my hands were raw and bleeding.  All I got in return was this used, pathetic excuse for a major organ. Nothing will ever be the same. And now after I find out about SOMEONE ELSE being there, you want to just fix everthing with a stitch and a thread. ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... I can't let myself feel bad for feeling good.  I can't let myself feel bad for feelling good.  I can't let myself feel bad for feeling good.<br />
<br />
<b>You</b> make me feel good.  And quite frankly, I don't give a damn who knows it.  I've always tried to be subtle about it, I think I've done a decent job, but it always comes back around.  This is such a confusing time in my life.  I don't know what to do with it...   .  It = whatever you want to classify these crazy, ridiculous emotions as.  I'm not very good at saying things.  I'm not very good at looking people in the eye. I feel awkward being so vulnerable. I'm shy.  I'm scared. Oh, and I'm also a quivering mess inside. I guess you knew that though.  I usually have trouble letting tears stream down my face, but I just can't take it anymore.  I am so sad. I am so torn. I have no idea what I'm doing with my life or myself...all I can do is wonder about it day and night, "<i>What the fuck are you doing with yourself? Who are you living for? Yourself or someone else?</i>" <br />
I don't know how to live for myself.  Everyday I live for someone else, someone else's gain, someone else's pleasure, someone ELSE tells me what to do and when to do it.  Sometimes I think I'd be better off dead.  I think it might benefit other people as well.  <br />
What am I supposed to do? I would give anything to go back to my first semester at Concord.  Those were the best days of my pathetic life.  I was so full of hope and energy.  I am so good at pretending to be happy.  I can be anyone you want me to be. I can accept any role.  Only I don't know my own. All of my life I've relied on love to conquer all and for love to mend any wound.  And every time I'm destroyed. I wish I could forget all of that bullshit and find something else to make me happy.  It's all temporary. <br />
<br />
Maybe I really am fake.  I've been hiding from myself or something ...something....no one fucking understands what I have to say or what I mean. I don't care about hearing anyone else try to make sense of things, but when I have something to say, dammit, I want the world to hear me say it. I want them to feel it, to understand it, and be it.  I can't help but feel puny compared to all of the other great minds I'm surrounded by...I don't have anything important to say.  Except, "YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW!" or "DON"T DIVE IN HEAD FIRST"<br />
<br />
funny, how I always dive in head first. It's  not a good idea. I'd avoid it at all costs, if possible.  But I can't avoid it.  It's my nature.  <br />
<br />
<br />
I don't know what any of this banter means. Something like, I'm not over the past and I'm especially not over the OLD past/ NEW present. I'm pretty tired of worrying what people will think when and if they see my journal.  I'll just dive in head first and say whatever the fuck comes to mind.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It took absoultley forEVER to get to this stupid journal box.  Blasted DSL! I was contemplating whether or not to write an entry anyway and that just made me want to do it more! In the mean time I even contemplated reading <i>old</i> entries then decided otherwise.  I was thinking about deleting the old. I cannot decide.  Sometimes I feel better when I look back and sometimes I feel worse.  <br />
<br />
My birthday is Friday! <br />
<br />
FUUCK. I just accidentially deleted everything I typed.  It wasn't a WHOLE lot, but it was a bit.  Anyfackinway, it's going to be one night I will never forget! I'm concerned about space, I've told a lot of people to bring whoever.  And then informing them about the "drama free zone" sign that will be on the door.  Just a forewarning. It's hard to tell how people will react and I will not tolerate anyone or thing ruining my good time!  Disco ball?!? I can't even think of words to describe just how ecstatic I am.  It is going to be a fucking blast. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/boogie.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":boogie:" title="Boogie!" /> <br />
<br />
I'd say things are pretty well as of late. School is stressing me out, but I think I'll be okay. I just have to remember <i>not</i> to let it get to me.  I'd really like to take a break from school and travel.  I keep coming back to that thought.  I don't know how I'd afford it and I despise the fact that green paper stands in my way of doing what I truly want to do at this point in my life.  Seeing the world for all it's beauty is much more worthy to me than a piece of paper. Sure, that paper might help me out in life, but not in an aspect of life I want to worry about.  I do not want to become another mindless suit sleepwalking through life. I do not want to be normal or contemporary, I want to fucking break all boundries and make my own rules. <b>Learn</b> rules. If only there were a way around. I understand there are things in life I will have to do that I don't want to, but I don't understand why.  Why are things like that?  Why should I have to even <i>worry</i> about it.  I might just give anything to be able to just...........<i>go</i>.  What is a girl to do?  I feel so conflicted here, there is always so much going on emotionally - I feel drained.  But not <b>always</b>. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/roseblack.gif" width="15" height="18" alt=":blackrose:" title="Black Rose" /><br />
It's almost like I'm thawing. There were times I thought I might actually hyperventilate, but in a non-life threatening way. There was a tiny shiver that started in the center of my head and made it's way all the way down to my big, disgusting toe. <br />
<br />
<i>"I feel like more."</i><br />
<br />
I keep telling myself to forget myself, to let that little butter...    fly. Let that shit pass on!  But, wait! Hadn't it already?<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cynic.gif" width="20" height="21" alt=":cynic:" title="Cynic" /> I was easily fooled.  So, uhhhh....where is Miranda the boundary queen when ya need her? These people should be real so I can get some damn advice.  The tv doesn't answer my frantic inquiries. <br />
<br />
Damn.  <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Random waking thoughts.....<br />
well they're all gone now, <br />
cause I'm awake.  ................<br />
<br />
I dig 3am conversations with old girlfriends. <br />
Ashleigh, you never get on here anymore!<br />
Where have all my old intellectual connections gone?! What is this>! Crazy new life I've stumbled upon...insane adventures every day, cruisin with my two crazy bffs, singing about being high...I should have been in class, but I just couldn't resist going out and LIVING my life. Sorry. Fuck that expensive peice of paper....I don't want that shit anyway,. can i please just grab some shit and go on an excursion. 3 weeks, maybe 4 or 2 months, I'll just go around the country making pit stops to LIVE some more of my LIFE>.....but no, too many people would be disappointed if  I just picked up and left. "What about school? You need an education!"  Skeet on your education, I can education my own self.  I want to live at the beach and work at a pizza shop. I'll lay on the beach and smoke a doobie, chill out and get a tan. I can put beads in my hair and dance until the sun comes up every other day and every single night I'll be LIVING my LIFE like I WANT to. What if I die next week?  Then what would I have to show for myself? A log of hopeful journal entries and a few measely COLLEGE CREDITS. <br />
<br />
I need to find my path.....there are so many, I'm being pulled in several different directions... my heart is this way, my leg is that way, my arm is 50 feet ahead of everything else and my fucking brain is in 1995.  WHAT TO DO, WHAT TO DO, WHAT TO DOOO. It's 3.40 in the a.m. and what am i doing?! LIVING MY LIFE! Smoking a cig, thanks by the way- I forgot I smoked, wishing I had more to show for myself. Some fucking witty words or something.  MUSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I NEED MY MUSE<br />
<br />
KITTY KAT?!?!?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I can't remember the last time I danced so long.  There are times I can recall that might remind me of dancing for a long time, but never for so long.  My body is completely exhausted, I've slept three seperate times and I think I'm finally back to normal.  As for my mental state, I'm a wee bit unsure.  I remember smiling a whole lot.  It was unstoppable. If there ever were a different world, it was there.  Fuck!  I wish everyday of my life could be like that.  Party Monster style!  All I needed was another stem or three and a crazy costume. Timing couldn't be a better thing for me.  I remember her saying, "timing is everything, this is now your time."  I couldn't agree more.  I haven't felt alive for many months.... something about being restricted.  As I break away, I feel myself gravitating towards another solar system....maybe it's another planet, an old planet, and I'm not quite sure that is the best thing for myself. Needless to say, I like it... a lot.  I have never known the best thing for myself it seems, I always jump off the deep end.  Whatever I feel is what I feel and that is how it is until I don't feel it anymore. Anyone can say I am fickle, but that doesn't seem to do me justice. Yeah, fickle is it, but it isn't so easily explained. One word does not accuratley justify an action. Fuck, maybe it does and I just can't explain anything about myself.  I've been told that on many seperate occasions......<br />
I still hear the beat; I slept all evening and heard that shit in my dreams. It won't go away and I hope it never does. I'ma dance everywhere I go! I danced all through my kitchen, down the stairs, up the stairs, in the living room, down the hall, and all over my damn room.  "I LOVE COLORS!"<br />
I think that's the phrase of the week, along with, "OH MY GOD...." and "I NEED MY SAMPLER!"  Maybe the phrase of the millenium. God, I sure hope it is. <br />
<br />
I keep giggling to myself like a damn little school girl. I wish like hell I would have taken some fucking pictures, they would have been amazing.  I'm counting on my birthday to be just as intense, hopefully way more intense and wilder. I'm a sucker for fun, especially since things have been so shitty lately. I hate that I've been dragged along through someone else's hell, only to be pissed on in return. I'm over it now, what a surprise, I thought I'd be stuck in a deeper level of hell for months at the least, but nah, timing is everything. <br />
<br />
I'm sticking to my phrase- your trash is someone else's treasure. <br />
<br />
....and <b>that</b> is a whole different world in its self. <br />
I dig.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Rehab - Lawnchair High Lyrics<br />
Well it's just another lawn chair high It's just<br />

the carport talk shit and get fatter It's just<br />
another lawnchair high people rollin' by, "Hi" look here, don't die' Well it's just another<br />
lawn chair high It's just another lawn chair high And I'm sittin' in the carport Lookin'<br />
down the driveway Watchin' all the cars go by And it's alright...it's alright And it's<br />
alright...it's alright Hell yeah, got my boombox this tune rocks the boondocks back as well packin' the bag of the wacky tobacco pack a bowl up<br />
you can stack or fold up the lawnchair I don't<br />
care got a brew in the Igloo cooler, too plus a<br />
barrage of puzzlein' thoughts in my garage,<br />
guzzelin' Heinekin my mind I cannot focus 'cause I'm blind again so find a friend to<br />
tell it to I'm tryin' to relax, dawg I<br />
ain't tryin' to hear about the guns, loot and<br />

bars I'm tryin' to catch the escalator to<br />
the sun, moon and stars, bra you gotta love it, whoo like Jimmy Buffet, yeah give me some stuff that I can<br />
handle and fuck it and please hold my calls 'cause I'm out for the night mosquito bites<br />
and lightnin' bugs got neon bars you better<br />
recamuthafuckinize give me that funnel and run along youngins Well it's just another lawn chair high It's just another lawn chair high And I'm<br />
sittin' in the carport Lookin' down the driveway<br />
Watchin' all the cars go by And it's<br />
alright...it's alright And it's<br />
alright...it's alright Hell Yeah I got it all<br />
goin', I know'n and there ain't<br />
nothin' that you can tell me in this moment and<br />
I'm hopin' this evening I'm leaving all my<br />
troubles inside while I sit and get by with what I<br />
really do best and if I may suggest you do the same which is nothing and that ain't frontin' I'm steady comin' with it talkin' to<br />
myself and all else it's gettin' figured out as'n I gets further along turn the right into wrong<br />
change the words to this song I know I ain't<br />
singin' along but deep inside it feels on so<br />
I'm a carry on sippin', skippin' every other idea that that runs up in here 'cause it's clear, they multiply fly back<br />
between both of my ears and who cares? I've got<br />
a minute if you're with it we can get it set it<br />
in the chair somewhere in the front, out there holler in the air "WE THE SHIT OVER HERE!" Well<br />
it's just another lawn chair high It's just<br />
another lawn chair high And I'm sittin' in the<br />
carport Lookin' down the driveway Watchin'<br />
all the cars go by And it's alright...it's<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Again, you'll never see this. <br />
<br />
I feel good today. It's a waning feeling, I'm sure. Everything is okay. I've reached my limit. I've reached my peak. This is not tolerable any longer.  I refuse to be belittled by someone so hypocritical. Do you <i>honestly</i> think I don't know my flaws? Surely not! Contrary to popular belief, I am not so naïve.  Just like you, I recognize my faults and embrace them. Who ever said being egotisical was a good thing? You sure seem to think that that is part of your charm and wit. Always being right in every situation is not something that <i>anyone</i> can do. You say I don't listen to your "constructive criticisms" and I don't want to hear the truth. Excuse me, but since when did constructive criticism become obnoxious accusations? This is all I heard - I am fake. I am a superficial bitch. I am a calloused bitched. I am materialistic. I am unwilling to listen to anyone. <i>Everyone</i> sees how fake I am. <i>Everyone</i> knows how I really am, even though I don't. I'm just another sheep in the herd! Turn off your phone you fucking insecure bitch! Slit your wrists! Shoot yourself in the head! Whatever it takes to make someone feel bad for you! BAAAAAAA!<br />
<br />
Yes, I have faults.  I'm a fucking human being. Take it or leave it. But there is no option. I refuse to listen to your "constructive criticism" any longer.  I cannot be fixed by being broken down like this.  I'm not sorry for who I am.  I know I must change things, I must GROW.  I can't grow in the dark.<br />
<br />
<br />
My writers block is gone. I can't help but wonder why it was there in the first place. <br />
Oh, the possibilities. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Bjork again,<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Where is the line with you<br />
where is the -- line - with you<br />
where is the line with you<br />
where is the -- line - with you<br />
<br />
My purse wide open<br />
you ask again<br />
I see the crime and<br />
cash into <br />
accounts<br />
everywhere<br />
<br />
Where is the line with you<br />
where is the line -- with you<br />
where is the -- line - with you<br />
where is the -- line with you<br />
<br />
I want to be flexible<br />
I want to go out of my way for you<br />
but enough is enough<br />
<br />
Where is the line with you<br />
where is the -- line with you<br />
where is the line with you<br />
where is the -- line - with you<br />
<br />
I am elastic<br />
I want to<br />
go out of my way for you<br />
I want to<br />
help <br />
help you<br />
<br />
Where is the line with you<br />
where is the line - with you<br />
where is the -- line - with you<br />
where is the -- line - with you<br />
<br />
I want to<br />
have<br />
capacity <br />
for you and be elastic<br />
love<br />
to be elastic <br />
e-la-stic for<br />
<br />
Where is the line with you<br />
where is the -- line with you<br />
where is the line with you<br />
where is the line with you<br />
where is the line - with you<br />
where -- is the line with you<br />

I'm elastic for you<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I wrote a lot today.  Two pages of rambly poetry. I should probably do some school work, but I feel like I should be doing something else.  Playing in the snow or swinging in the cold.  Sleeping.  Dreaming.  I could clean my room.  I could play RE4.  I could read some more of Stephen Kings' latest novel.  I could watch a movie.  I need something to do.  Something else.  I'm sure I'll post the rambly poems soon.  Beware, they are lame. <br />
<br />
<br />
Needless to say, fuck a bunch of Vday.  I'm weighing my options.  Get wasted?  Stay in bed all day?  Eat excessively?  I'd prefer to not be alone.  Yeah, I have my cats, but they don't like me smothering them all day. Smother, indeed.  <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Getting pissed and getting melancholy - switching from one to another, perhaps a little hysterical at times.  How could you do this to me?  You'll never see or read this, I'm glad.  I don't want you to know I'm thinking of you and that I'll continue to think of you and what you have done to me for quite some time. I don't want to. I want to be rid of you like a flea. Don't bite at my back any fucking more. I've put up with so much BULLSHIT for so long and this what I get.  A grand thanks!  A grand FUCK YOU!  Thanks, for sticking around Stephany, your presence is no longer needed so please be gone as quickly as possible.  Like I mean nothing at all.  I don't. Obviously.  But honestly, is that what you call a get-away?  Tell me what you got away with, cause I've seen more spine in a jellyfish.  I've seen more guts in eleven year old kids.   I could say a whole hell of a lot more, but I'll save that for some juicy poetry.  Let's just end it on this.  Thanks Maynard.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Suck and suck. Suckin up all you can suckin up all you can suck.<br />
Workin up under my patience like a little tick.<br />
Fat little parasite. Suck me dry.<br />
My blood is bruised and borrowed. You thieving bastards. <br />
You have turned my blood cold and bitter, <br />
beat my compassion black and blue.<br />
<br />
Hope this is what you wanted.<br />
Hope this is what you had in mind.<br />
Cuz this is what you're getting.<br />
I hope you're choking. I hope you choke on this.<br />
I hope you're choking. I hope you choke on this.<br />
<br />
Taken all I can taken all I can, we can take. Taken all you can taken you can, we can take.<br />
Got nothing left to give to you.<br />
Blood suckin parasitic little blood suckin parasitic little<br />
blood suckin parasitic little tick<br />
Take what you want and then go.<br />
<br />
Suck me dry. <br />
<br />
Is this what you wanted?<br />
Is this what you had in mind?<br />
Is this what you wanted?<br />
Cuz this this is what you're getting.<br />
I hope, I hope, I hope you choke.<br /><br /> ]]></description>
