Hmm.


Anyway, I just wanted to stop and say THANK YOU to the 123 people who have added my tattoo to their favourites. Looking back I actually feel a bit bad, the picture was taken a day or two after I got the tattoo, so it's all crusty and the bloodline is still visible. I shall endeavour to upload a new, HEALED version. It's still as bright and colourful as it was then.

Also, THANK YOU to the 69 people who have added my photo Fifty Fourth to their favourites. I love how an accidental photo I took at a stoplight can touch so many people.

I hope to upload a lot more work soon.











xx

Alice

I have class on Tuesday and Wednesday, for the next eleven weeks. Then a week or two of break, and right into Spring quarter. The Art Institute of California - Sacramento does not have a summer break, the school runs all year. I will graduate sooner with my Bachelor of Sciences degree in Graphic Design.

Kevin has class on Monday and Tuesday, and he is working toward his Associates Degree in Culinary Arts. After he gets his AD, he will work part time to get his Bachelors as well.

I have to say, I'm a bit nervous but at the same time, not. I am EXCITED.


SOOOO anybody in the greater Sacramento area, drop me a line, come hang out!

"The typical Hollywood idea of a transparent figure... A shadow of a being that once lived. Well,... it's not so far fetched. Really, if you think about it.... So.. I wonder... what would that transparent matter.. or lack-there-of... be composed of? What would make it up? I believe that to be..."

..and while he had sat there silently listening to me struggle with my words, it was then that he stole the word from my lips and stunned me by finishing the sentence. He said,...

"..energy."

"last call
he was sick of it all
asleep at home
told you off and goodbye
well you know one day it'll come to haunt you
that you didn't tell him quite the truth
you're a crisis
you're a icicle
you're a tongueless talker
you don't care what you say
you're a jaywalker and you just just walk away
and that's all you do
the clap of the fading out sound of your shoes
made him wonder who he thought that he knew
last call
he was sick of it all
the endless stream of reminders
made him so sick of you sick of you sick of you
sick of your sound
sick of you coming around
trying to crawl under my skin
when I already shed my best defense
it comes out all around that you won
and I think I'm all done
you can switch me off safely
while I'm lying here waiting for sleep to overtake me
yeah yeah you're still here but just check to make sure
all you aspired to do was endure
you can't ask for more ask for none
knowing you'll never get that which you ask for
so you cast your shadow everywhere like the man in the moon
you start to drink you just want to continue"

-"last call"













On a completely seperate note, I finally saw Across the Universe and it was absolutely fucking beautiful. I am at a complete loss for words, and love it that way.

I swear I have suffered some of the most unimaginable emotional agony. Trauma that, looking back, I'm absolutely astonished I survived. Furthermore I almost want to laugh and burst into tears recalling the COMPOUNDED agonies I've endured. Infinite metaphors I could relate and attempt to empart through this most tempestuous medium, ...words. All would and will surely fall short, and yet I find myself evermore compelled to attempt to relate. I am ever compelled to reach out and connect to the larger portion of the people I meet in my day to day life. I seek and strive to bring good thoughts and peace to the people I meet, be it stranger at the gas station or best friend hunched over coffee. Always still, over and over I find myself drowning in the life threatening abyss encased within my skull. I mock and reinvent myself through flattery and self deprication. I repeat and remove my remodeling, finding foundations in destruction and submission in finalized foundation. I wonder how my fingers still manage to grip the steering wheel. I wonder how my eyes still manage to stay focused on the road. I wonder how I manage to stay in my lane. I wonder how my feet still manage to apply gas and brake at the appropriate moments. I wonder how I survive being cemented amidst the crossfire of my own thoughts. How can I suffer so strongly the aching loneliness associated with the discovery of an almost lover's secret significant other? How through the impossibly painful admonition by a love interest of waning affections can I still manage to walk and talk? How can I find the strength to draw breath when these two atom bombs are layered atop my head simultaneously. What happens when a broken heart breaks? Can a broken heart break further? Do the pieces push one another further apart? I amuse myself by relating the feeling to the idea of a supernova exploding within the epicenter of a black hole. Hah hah mockery, irony, and utter idle foolishness, for they all say no such thing is possible. It is then that I wonder when the heart breaks, when the heart aches, and where the lines are drawn. How may I draw a line to the left and he draw a line to the right of love? How can he swear he loves me as much now and forever, and look in my eyes with such desperation and hope. How can I stretch my mind, heart, body, and soul to the limit of violating myself and that very empassioned outreach for which I've been so avidly searching? Can I really ever realize the destruction I am compounding upon myself? Can I break, pull far apart, and break again, all to say I never knew the limits of my heart? How can I still swear so strongly on bended knee that I would love him? Love them both. Love one or the other and all and neither? How can I stretch so thin over so short and so long a period of time. How much can the heart take?

The time has come for colds
And overcoats
We're quiet on the ride
We're all just waiting to get home
Another week away
My greatest fear
I need the smell of summer
I need its noises in my ears
If looks could really kill
Then my profession would be staring
Know we do this cause we care
Not for the thrill
Collect calls to home
To tell them that I realize that everyone who lives will someday die and die alone
And we won't let you in
Though we're down and out
No, we won't let you in
(You win)
(You win)
(You win)
Wrote more postcards than hooks
I read more maps than books
Feel like every chance to leave is another chance I should have took
Every minute is a mile
I've never felt so hollow
I'm an old abandoned church
With broken pews and empty aisles
My secrets for a buck
Watch me as I cut myself wide open
On this stage
Yes, I am paid
To spill my guts
I won't see home till spring
Oh, I would kill for the Atlantic
But I am paid to make girls panic while I sing
And we won't let you in
Though we're down and out
No, we won't let you in
And we won't let you in
We don't want what isn't ours
We won't let you in
You win
(You win)
(You win)
(Oh well)
(Oh well)
(Oh well)
And the coastline is quiet
While we're quietly losing control
And we're silent but sure
We invented the cure
That will wash out my memories
The harpoon's loaded
The cage is lowered
The water's red
Like you
(Like you)
And we won't let you in
Though we're down and out
No, we won't let you in
And we won't let you in
We don't want what isn't ours
We won't let you in
You win
(You win)
(You win)

I kneel before her
Beneath this frozen sky
Beneath her shoulder
Beneath her evil eye
She towers over
This male who is a fly
My sci-fi lullaby

I kneel before her
Beneath this frozen sky
I beg below her
My legs are paralysed
She feels much softer
Than any kind of guy
My sci-fi lullaby

Beside her
Astride her
I die inside her
Forever
And ever
She's born to mesmor
Sacred
Dont break it
Dont ever
Go let me down

Cross my heart and hope to die
Cross my heart and hope to die
Cross my heart and hope to die


Beside her
Astride her
I die inside her
Forever
And ever
She's born to mesmor
Sacred
Dont break it
Dont ever
Go let me down

Beside her
Astride her
I die inside her

Forever
And ever
She's born to mesmor
Sacred
Dont break it
Dont ever
Go let me down

Cross my heart and hope to die
Cross my heart and hope to die

I want to blow out your knees with a ball peen hammer.
I want to serrate your gorgeous skin with broken Bic pens and leave horribly misshapen, discoloured scars.
I want to slowly slit open your wise eyes with sharp scalpels.
I want to crush your sternum and break your ribs.
I want your splintered bones to pierce your lungs and inner organs.
I want you to bleed slowly to death.
I want you to choke on your blood.
I want to drop you off a cliff.
I want to tie you to train tracks.
I want to drown you in ink and oil.
I want to watch you cry as I kill your family in front of you.
I want to watch your eyes widen as I set your house on fire.
I want you to watch me burn your favourite books and break your favourite records.
I want you to watch as I break your toes one by one and shatter your shins.
I want you to watch as I crush your lovely little artist fingers so you'll never write, paint, or play guitar again.
I want to watch you suffocate through sheer plastic foil.
I want you to take your own life, rather than live without me.


































I love you so much it's killing me.
