                <description><![CDATA[ <sub>So, asides from the extra ticket...the people who did WANT to come...we had a totally rad time listening to King read from 'Under the Dome'...and then listen to him and Cronenberg discuss writing novels, screenplays, direct movies, politics...etc. BTW, King invented Bush. And oh ja, 'bullshit' is now an adjective...just you wait Oxford will have 'bullshitty' and be like:<br /><br /> 19/11/09<br />origin; Stephen King's response to Cronenberg talking about the unconscious.<br />/adjective/<br />- referring to the collective unconscious<br /><br />example:<br />'It's just a load of bullshitty crap!'<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />They were really interesting to listen to, especially when Cronenberg was all blee blee blah blah...[insert large words and vast vocabulary], and Stephen King would break out these new words and allude to Sarah Palin. <br /><br />It is my goal to be able to see/meet as many authors as I can in settings like this. It's really intriguing to hear them talk, as opposed to read what they write about.<br /><br />Hope you lot are doing well! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/blowkiss.gif" width="35" height="21" alt=":blowkiss:" title="Here's a kiss for you, my love!" /><br /><br />FECK, am I ever drained.

And they say yes, so you buy up the tix stat...then a few times pre-event you send out friendly reminders. No objections, rie?<br /><br />WRONG. The day before, to confirm shit they come up with some bullshit excuse. Funny, 'cause I TOTS do not recall such words being said. I really wouldn't give a shit if they told me earlier...but noooooooooooooo, they wait the day before. RLY. People suck, sometimes. They do. I keep on saying I can't rely on anybody anymore, yet I say it's just human error. Lame.

                <description><![CDATA[ <sub>Hey guys, been a while I know...but the thing I mostly adore about these journals is the certain lack of spectators about here...seeing as I can't write stuff anywhere else...and it really is just a place for me to be enthralled or disappointed about stuff. I dunno. It seems this thing we call creativity has not found its way to me in some time, but I respect that. Work's been busy. I've been seeing people when I can...or been sick and useless at home..slumming it from work to watch ubergoryawesome Norwegian horror flicks...and then going to see some actual comedies.<br /><br />I hope everyone is doing well, and are all embracing this lovely and glorious sun that shunned us only until now. I forgot how lovely it is when everything is painted in viridian. I can't say green anymore, it's such a general term. You need to be specific about these kinda thing yo.<br /><br />Anyways, so work's  been pretty chaotic...capital C and it's not always so bad...it's just a total bummer/drag when you have to see so many sick animals come and go...some which get better and that's lovely...and then others who just kinda fade with time. Heartworm season just started finally, it seems...cause before it was bloody snowing and it's hard to explain to people about your animals getting bitten by mosquitos/fleas/ticks/mites...when it's winter-y out...well, now people are flocking in...and sometimes, it's not as organized as one likes...but whatever we make do.<br /><br />That asides, I've been alrie I guess. Can't complain really...seeing that we're seeing Opeth in less about a week! NiN the following month, Incubus in July...and Porcupine Tree is back in September, baby. I'm so psyched. But have you lot ever had any problems with buying tix for people for shows and shit...and they pussy/bail out pretty much last minute? I don't fucking get that. I was so fucking pissed, I mean...how hard is it to check your bloody calendar and be like, oh I have my thesis do..or I won't be in town...or whatevs...and if you don't know right away...can't you let people know like IN ADVANCE? Fuck, I hate this. It's terrible, I'm so disappointed. I wanted to go with these people; now it's gonna be my sis...her friends - who she doesn't even really wanna hang out with - and then hopefully a friend of mine..but I don't understand why there is always this drama revolving around this shit. I mean, I do things for people...and they repay me by me not being able to count...no, depend on them. How am I supposed to deal? It's lameass shit, I know..but apparently it effects me enough to need/want just talk these words at people...it doesn't make me feel better...it just makes me upset. If I can't count on you on this little thing, how am I supposed to count on you when I really need you the most? What irks me more, is the fact that this is NOT THE FIRST FUCKING TIME. Everytime. GAH. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/faint.gif" width="18" height="17" alt=":faint:" title="I think I've fainted." /><br /><br />I just wanna see these shows and rock outtt...it's hard to look forward to such things when people suck. No wonder I'm such a misanthrope most of the time.<br /><br />Alrie, hope you guys are well.<br />Later.</sub><br /><br /> ]]></description>

And I don't know how to leave this state of mind; it's like my brain is set on auto-pilot and thinking outside the box sends a jolt of electricity through me - kinda like negative reinforcement. <br /><br />I NEED A NEW SCENE! I do, since HN...I'm dying to explore new lands and shit. I feel confined. I dunno, I'm in such a lackofsleep mood..I dunno what the fuck I'm saying. ROFL.<br /><br /><i>My blood could run cold<br />and I could lose all circulation<br />as you tighten that grip <br />you have around my neck.<br /><br />You're my halo, <br />and yet your ring<br />tightens ever so slightly<br />around my throat and any<br />good that could come of<br />this, dies.<br /></i><br /><br />That's all I got, I dunno what it is.

                <description><![CDATA[ <sub>and shout </sub><b>'SAVE US!'</b><br /><sub>...and I'll whisper <i>'no'</i>.<br /><br />Hey my fellow devious bunch! How do you lot fair? I hope it's well, I have no complaints concurrently...that although I've had some lack of sleep this weekend thus far, no bother. Glad I was up long enough to take in the entirety of the masterpiece known as 'Watchmen'. It was truly beyond anything I ever hoped for, and I would like to view it again [and again and again and again...] it's a very heavy movie to watch right away. <br /><br />And now, anyways! Just got back from this Live @ the Met thing they have going on in select Cineplex theatres, I'm presuming you lot have it too? If not, let me explain. A few years ago, to introduce the world of opera to people who don't have time, money or ability to flock to performances...the Neubauer foundation set up a way to bring the opera to people. They have live viewing via satellite right at the time of the show itself, and an encore. Thusly, the flexbility and affordability of such tickets makes for high demand. We just saw <b>Madame Butterfly</b>, and I can honestly say I've never had that type of an impact on me theatre-wise ever. It is a beautiful tragic story of betrayal..and it was told with amazing vibrant costumes and the art of Kabuki and 16th century style Japanse puppets add to such a story wonderfully. It truly, left me speechless. I'm utterly picky when it comes to such things, seeing as the first one I saw was 'Lady Macbeth' - different variation, modernized to take place in some parallel to a type of war and I wasn't as impressed with the singing and acting as I was here. So, I strongly urge you lot who adore theatre and arts and all that junk to if you can, take advantage of this oppurtunity. Next season they say has in store, Carmen and Aida! Which are both high on the list.<br /><br />Enough yammering.<br />I gotta EAT, damn that performance was hella long.<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /></sub><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <sub>It <b>feels</b> like it's supposed to be spring out there, yet the wind wails like a banshee. I'm almost expecting a raven to be crying 'nevermore' and some knocking &#039<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" />on my door. Gut thing I don't know anyone named 'Lenore'. It just feels like some mysterious novel-rendition of a 'dark and stormy night'. Although, storm? Nein. Just bleak and grey. Spring peeks its head in and Ol' Man Winter runs after the little girl with his icicle-woven ruler. Scolding her to march right back up to her room. It's like a battle of the seasons out there. It's going to be Ol' Man Winter and his Icy Wrath soon, I think. And it makes me sad...as I miss palm trees.<br /><br />So, to get rid of all this grey and psuedo-photography I'm going to apologize for the sudden surge of all things lush in nature that will now flood upon here. I don't think anyone will mind, though. And as for the pics? The reason behind this surge of photo-narcissism is because I think the lens/shutter is fucked on my cam. I don't think I should have taken it kayaking. 'cause the optical zoom seems to be fine. But the digital zoom is blurry as fuck. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cries.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":cries:" title="Waaaah!" /><br /><br />LOL, I might be hyperbolizing. I've not even had it for 6 months yet. And to be honest, I've not yet mastered all its features...either. So, I'm gonna stop this trivial worrying and sift through palm trees again. Enjoy. :]<br /><br />On another note, I lacked sleep this night due to waking up early to purchase <b>OPETH TIXXXXXXX</b> so it was worth it. That is all.<br /><br />How're you lot?!<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/glomp.gif" width="47" height="20" alt=":glomp:" title="Glomp!" /></sub><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <sub>I haven't been in a mosh pit for years...and a few days ago it was the most insane, unbelievably amazing thing ever. I don't know what it is about pits that is so goddamn addicting. Not to mention that the bands were fucking amazing. I'm really glad I got to see both Children of Bodom and Megadeth. We were JUST IN TIME for Bodom...missed out on High on Fire and Job for a Cowboy because there really was no point in going for them. In Flames played after Bodom...and since the pit was so infectious...we dove right back in, although I've not listened to IF in years. They were okay, I guess...it's sunny moshing to songs you've not heard in eons. But, I didn't care at that point...as my friend came late for Bodom so we felt bad and went in willingly. Lol. The fucking stupid security dude was such an ass...she got there, I handed her the ticket over the turnstile - cause they wouldn't let you leave and come back...otherwise. And he's all 'It's not working!' She was freaking out, and I was freaking out yelling '<b>THIS IS THE LAST FUCKING SONG!!!!</b>' He turns to her after and grins maliciously, 'Just kidding.' JUST AS THE MOTHERFUCKING SONG ENDS/. OMFG, what a fuckin' asshole...I hope he falls down the stairs and breaks one of those ugly teeth someday. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /><br /><br /><br />So anyways, back to pit. I am covered in bruises. Someone almost landed on my nose...my hair got caught in other peoples' hands and junk. It was just so bloody exhilirating. I can't describe it...or well, I can try...I think my 'Black Metal Angel' piece kinda explains it. Hahaha, so anyways! My friend lost her shoe...and we spent the latter of the show looking for it whilst moshing and trying not to die...we got crushed and almost trampled on if these dudes didn't lift us up and then stabilized us until we could stand on our own feet. Ah, pit courtesy...hell we returned the favour when this guy was crowd-surfing..and he was just so heavy that he almost fell...we were clinging to his hand for dear life so he wouldn't get crushed. Hahaha. Anyways! The shoe, so Megadeth almost finished their set...when we were gonna leave so not to get trampled in the crowd after it ended...so we found some random dude's shoe...and were going to leave but ethics caught up with her and she decided to abandon it and keep looking. So many people were trying to help us find it...one guy felt so bad he handed us his joint and said 'this'll make you feel better'. LOL. Anyways, eventually she found it as there was this titan pile of shoes by the stage. Magically, reunited!<br /><br />I don't know what else to say about the show other then it was fucking awesome and that I can't wait till the 24th when we see Opeth and will be blown away and mosh like hell there. Hahaha. I can't wait to go back again.<br /><br />There is just something so genuine about being in a mosh pit, you can get all that pent-up frustration/anger/energy out in a healthy manner...if only to emerge with some souvenirs...try not to lose a tooth like buddy did. OY. There is just something RAW and amazing about it, that you won't be able to understand...until you're immersed in that sea of writhing bodies. You're almost enchanted by the sound coming from the stage...you're bowing down to these Music Gods...who tower over you...as you just lose yourself in their riffs, chords, solos and spell-binding vocals that leave you screaming for more.<br /><br />Enough obsessing. How's everyone? :]</sub><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <sub>comes a signal, though faint...it echoes for miles and miles scouring for presence of other life forms. Indeed, we all feel the need to be completely shut out from the world at times...but when is it -too- much? And when is the time to re-integrate ourselves with those 'friends' that are good to have around? Of course, I'm speaking in terms that do not imply any negativity in any of these directions...it's just hard to make time for one another when Father Chronus simply is a fucking bastard - to put it bluntly.<br /><br />Plain enough, I miss people...and it turns out people notice! Hahaha, I mean this is the busiest season of the year as work goes..hence my lack of coherrent sentences followed by a series of grunts and subtle hand gestures...<br /><br />I'm just sooooooooo tired. And I sleep, wake up rejeuventated and end my day the same way again only to start it up again. We're like worker bees it seems, I swear I'm gonna have calluses on thumb soon from all the blood-letting I've been doing. You'd think by now it's a second nature...but you actually need to put effort into it. <br /><br />Ah, speaking of lack of coherrence I've just completely lost all insight as to the reason of this journal...so please just go out for a smoke or loiter about aimlessly whilst I recollect my thoughts.<br /><br />My creativity is drained again, as one can see. However, it doesn't seem to cause the least bit of ire...perhaps it's because of the whole I'm too tired to do shit. Hahaha, that includes make an effort and see people..or well, when I have time everyone else is busy! Go figure.<br /><br />I miss my friends, and some of them are leaving for predetermined periods of time especially this summer. One's off to Korea and the other's off to Paris for several months...and I feel terribly guilty for not taking the time out to see them...so, now comes the weekend where I must see both in one evening even. It's going to be chaotic, but fun. <br /><br />I love the serenity of the calm hours of the night where I can lie curled up and sensely barracade my brain with useless knowledge from the telly. It's such a good break to watch movies or smart sitcoms...that the very mere idea of interacting with others doesn't even creep about.<br /><br />And, to be -perfectly- honest...it feels like these days I've got less to say to people...so the conversation is <i>strained </i>at the very least. Perhaps, I've just been dwelling in my own narcissistic thoughts for too long. <b>Perhaps.</b><br /><br />:insertsighingemotehere:</sub><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <sub>It's funny how you sometimes don't really dwell on words until one day they make sense, I mean sure lyrics/phrases/quotes can stick with you and embed themselves deep enough in your mind....<br /><br />But, have you actually lived through a set of words...literally? Sure, this entry title might confuse you...but for me it feels like today's been just like that. I mean, I'm corporeal and junk, pinched myself to make sure. <br /><br />Work wasn't bad, kinda interesting...this is where I can skip all the gory details and sum it up to being a surgery to remove bladder stones. But, then I got home and I just don't know...faded into the background. It's weird, I'm usually one of those who breaks from the background and bursts through the film that keeps a case betwixt the two. Yet, today...I've felt ordinary. I'm sorry for the abuse of the ellipsis power.<br /><br />Anyways, I've felt ordinary. As in however much of a cliche this may be, like I was watching myself on auto-pilot. I think it's lack of sleep or something, but whatever the hell it is it's freaking me out. I'm not used to this direct mould, and I'm sorry if I sound pretentious...but I don't know how else to describe it.<br /><br />Sure, I've heard that being unique is like being like everyone else..but I don't care if it's that. It's like an out-of-body experience and I barely recognize this person that's walking around in my shoes, in my path. <br /><br />I've only ever been on autopilot a few times and that was when I needed to function like a normal human being even post lack of sleep/too much inebriation and the like...but this is different.<br /><br />It's surreal, I feel like I'm trapped in a Dali painting. Hopefully, I'll just ride this weird state out and then I'll be part of the foreground.</sub><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <sub>So, there are just things that have gotten me pondering today. As per usual, however I'm perpetually pondering something no matter how big or small it is. I seriously think my brain never rests, not even once...except when I err and then it just freezes, much like a computer glitch of some kind. Regardless of the pondering...<br />
<br />
This is [yet ANOTHER cliche for your reading pleasure], the whole bit of lives being fragile... Now, I understand that people say things like that [whether they mean it or don't] all the time. It's funny how those who are living yearn for death and in turn those dead [metaphorically] wish to be living. Just another paradox we call <i>Homo sapiens</i>.<br />
<br />
I mean, I work with lives everyday and sometimes they're even small enough to hold in my hand and other times they are big enough so I can wrap my arms about them. They breathe, the sleep, they bleed, they vocalize and have a mulititude of feelings. So, their lives may not be exactly that paradox which I just mentioned...but they are just like us. They may have a different structure and various anatomical differences that which suit their needs for living.<br />
<br />
Think about it, how many times do we go through life and don't think twice about being alive. Corporeal, and exchanging gases in the atmosphere through our lungs by permeable membranes and whatnot?<br />
<br />
This isn't a preachy sort of collection of thoughts, it just asks us to take a step back and think how can we even think about dying when we live for every day? It's bizarre to think we would want to end these life processes and if we are not [satisfied, or unsettled] by something how can be possibly aim to fix things by ending it all? Physically, are we really at peace when riggor mortis settles in? Or are we fooling ourselves that that grand illusion is the escape that we need.<br />
<br />
Everyday we go through life, wanting to escape. Maybe not right now, maybe three years ago. Maybe five months ago, maybe a decade from now. Why do we feel the need to want to escape who we are and long and yearn and desire the life of another. If we hate ourselves so goddamn much then why don't we change? <br />
<br />
It's not hard, if you think about it. Destroy your possessions, move away, break relationships, start new ones, disappear from here and reappear as someone completely different. Why do our personalities have to be so fixed? If the human race has gone through a drastic evolution...then why can't we go through a metamorphosis ourselves? Individually and not as a race but as a human being.<br />
<br />
Sure, we're born, sure we cry, then we laugh, get angry, become envious, fall in love, fall out of love, fall into ourselves, fall into society...but that doesn't mean we necessarily have to follow a set regime. We can make our own bloody rules, fuck the handbook. There is none. Don't buy into that useless self-help crap. HELP YOURSELF. The first step is saying, hey...fuck this, let's <i>tabula rasa</i> this bitch and start from scratch again.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now it feels like these ramblings have become pretentious and even full of no sense at all. Well, get used to it! Life's FULL OF CHAOS. So why not start with our cerebratory skills? I know I have.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Damn, I find books really make me think more about shit and opens my eyes in ways I've never even noticed before. I think I read TOO much between the lines.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ <sub>The name of this entry might not even fit what I'm trying to convey across, but I'll use it because it is both aesthetically pleasing and kind of makes sense. <br />
<br />
Think of shadows though, they conform to anything and are an absence of light...although when you add the stars into the mix it makes these unreal, glittering transformations on a pretty mundane background...walls, ceilings, floors.<br />
<br />
Once again, I'm not trying to come across as ethereal but I find that people as we've discussed earlier about my fascination with facets then there also lies my fascination with the anti-thesis. Namely speaking of the <b>black</b> and <i>white</i>. So today, I felt kind of black not to sound like a clichee of a thousand and five troubled souls, no I don't mean like that. Like, when one time I can be completely white [bright, you get the deal]....and then I can be utterly dark that it makes my head spin and I'm forced...or possessed by that darkness that craves to be released [fuck, that's a clichee within itself]. I can't explain it, I guess it's the other side of human nature?<br />
<br />
Regardless, these were the thoughts running through my head upon a cold winter's eve. I've come to realize I can be completely fucking lazy and forget to actually proofread my devs of late..so bare with me until I actually find the motivation to fix these up. <br />
<br />
Anyways, so I'd post these pseudo-intellectual thoughts as I don't know where else to place them...here.<br />
</sub><br />
<i><br />
Why do we always have to try so hard? So busy with keeping score of where our lives lie, against others'. <br />
<br />
When did we feel this innate idea that we have this large black marker in our minds that meticulously notes everything never missing a thing? <br />
<br />
Where this stress come from? Society's pressures bear down on our fragile, wavering mortal souls.<br />
<br />
Why do we let people show us how to live our lives? Why do we need to be so goddamned concerned that our friends make more money than we do? And measure everything in these useless soul-stealing possessions that we obsess over claiming hypocritically we don't give a shit and then bitch and moan when we lose our favourite watch.<br />
<br />
Its earthly price is nil, we should not measure happiness with the amount of money we spend announcing that we are still apathetic about these materialistic detriments.<br />
<br />
It's no wonder we suffocate in our possessions and yet, turn to different and better ones with that extra button to make us suffer even more in turn making us lazier than we were to begin.<br />
<br />
Why can't we be fucking happy as is, sure you've gone through shit that I can't even begin to understand but hey what you've lived through might have been the very same thing that could have killed me.<br />
<br />
So, stop your fucking whining. Everyone has their shit to deal with. When the hell did this become a pissing contest over whose shit stinks worse? In the long run, it's just shit and all you need to do is get off your lazy ass and clean it up. Take a bag and toss it because by the time you're through cleaning it up another piece of shit will somehow drop in the stead of the other.<br />
<br />
GET YOUR FUCKING HEAD TOGETHER AND LIVE LIKE A FUCKING HUMAN BEING.<br />
<br />
Fuck sins.<br />
Fuck the word that defines its act.<br />
Fuck the book that tells us what's wrong and what's right.<br />
Fuck the bible.<br />
Fuck the torah.<br />
Fuck the qu'ran.<br />
Fuck kaballah.<br />
FUCK RELIGION.<br />
Fuck words, they have no fucking meaning.<br />
Fuck any sense of morals, why the hell should there be a definition as to what is considered 'right' or 'wrong'<br />
Fuck fear.<br />
Fuck sadness.<br />
Fuck happiness.<br />
Fuck love.<br />
Fuck lust.<br />
Fuck hatred.<br />
Fuck racism.<br />
Fuck indecision.<br />
Fuck prejudice.<br />
Fuck war.<br />
Fuck peace.<br />
<br />
What does it even mean? You'll never be fucking happy. NEVER. You know why? Because it's the human condition to be the greedy little fucker you are...to be the greedy little fucker I am. You may once find something and think you're happy, but in truth you're only lying to yourself you narcissistic son of a bitch. We'll always be alone, ALWAYS. There's nothing you can do to escape the fact as we can never be happy with what we have, we will always want more even though we have the entire world at our fingertips and so we will go on obsessively wanting these [un]attainable things forever and then we die. SO WHAT? We died unsatisfied.<br />
<br />
You know what?<br />
Go FUCK YOURSELF.<br />
And after you've cleaned up, come back over here and fuck me. Because whether you like it or not I'm going to fuck you sooner or later. <br />
<br />
Why's being a conscious being so fucking hard? Because these questions bury in somehow when you're not looking and start to eat away what we consider our humanity and the only bloody way you'll... ]]></description>

<br />
Thanks to my lovelies with discussing things from everyday life, nature and throwing in a smattering of greek mythology in the mix...and the very healthy obsession I have with the ocean...I think I may have written a something that my fellow poetical dokteur and I connected. LOL, ja du...mein herre.<br />

But, alas...this is where you are wrong. Everything that comes to me...whether it's a fragement, idea, comment, thought or unfinished work is written down in a spiffy little pingu notebook given to me by <a href="http://amans.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/m/amans.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconamans:" title="amans"/></a> for one of my earlier birthdays. SRSLY, if you want to give a writer something as a gift...think <b>words</b> or anything that can capture them inside instead. Truly the best gift, of the writing sort. Haha.<br />
<br />
So many ideas! Work's becoming a part of me so I don't have time to be inspired...well maybe some weekends and evenings with the help of Father Chronos. So, I can tell all YOU lot are doing well with your inspirations...as my inbox <b>NEVER</b> ceases to be empty. So, keep it up and sprinkle some my way if you've got more than enough for yourselves.<br />

Take care lovelies, have a wunderbar weekend and a terror-iffic halloween.</sub><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ <sub>Hello everyone, long time no see. I would usually take the time out of way especially to make up countless excuses for my lack of updating as frequently as I used to, but hey I'm only human and I don't have a clone...so we got to take things one step at a time, hmm?<br />
<br />
And as the world grows older, the cliches seem more stale. Is there nothing original left? Are we just replicating time and time again different versions of the same exact thing? With a different perspective, aspect, angling the situation...tilting the frame a little more each day just to keep things interesting?<br />
<br />
I've said many times over; I'm fascinated completely by the idea that everything is <b>multi-faceted.</b> And I don't mean it in a condascending or deragotory manner at all. I'm speaking in relative terms, look around where did the abstract come from? We turn that painting a little to the left so much that now we view it in a completely different manner and thus our thoughts shift. Off-balance. Maybe it's a little unsettling, than again maybe it's just damn exhilirating!<br />
<br />
So, anyways I've been utterly antisocial from things...partially because of the work I have regularly and partially because I crave that time AWAY from people. So, anyways [let's all learn about my [pseudo-glamorous] life shall we? Since I went to Florida...and I PROMISE to post my odd obsession with palm trees, sunsets and birds soon - and several verses that came to mind in such an exotic sense of tranquility, I've been so caught up in the worker bee bzzzness that I didn't really pay attention much to know how everyone I know is doing. And so, after months of not seeing people - which we're all suffering from due to the buildup of work and school - it was absolutely refreshing! I missed it. I missed it all, I missed the idea of it, the things we missed in each other's lives, I missed <i>them </i> as flesh and blood that help to make up who I am. And it was amazing, drinking, dancing, talking, talking, talking. Fuck, I could take for hours with them. I mean, not that I have a problem with silence or anything it's just there's so much to share, you know?<br />
<br />
Isn't that what we all need to build healthy and productive lives? Social interaction, uninterrupted communication? We all missed it, I could tell and it was just so GODDAMN fun. I forgot what that was. So, then again yesterday I went over to my friend's place and we hung out, talked forever, made cookies, drank tea, watched Dexter...and then when it was time to go home. She offered to walk me half-way home [we live TWO minutes away], and we got to talking . Ended up at my drive-way talking for an hour, so I suggested we go for a walk - 2:30-3 am...and it was so nice. We delved into maybe just over 4 dozen intellectually inclined topics, we philosophized, sat around and reminsced. Damn, it felt like summer from back in the day. And it was almost dead quiet, foggy in the autumn morning. Inspiring! I got home, and these thoughts still lurk somewhere within my cerebrum.<br />
<br />
Holy shit, this is probably a lot of things you don't need to read really. Hahaha, rambling is obviously one of my talents. <br />
<br />
Anyways, what I'm trying to get out of this...is I hope everything is well with you guys and I miss you [just as if not more] than the friends that I see on a regular basis. So take care and all that. Oh, and a very happy turkey weekend to all my fellow Canucks!</sub><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, I guess I'm spoiled enough...lounging about like a lazy feline that is a hydrophile all week...I guess salty hydrophile would make more sense? Anyways, so today was my first day back at work and I miss the sunny beaches and the salty waves. Who knows, I may have a few pieces worthy of devdom where inspiration was drawn from each and every wave, every sunset, every tiny mussel struggling for survival in the treacherous calm.<br />
<br />
Work today was kind of shitty, things went wrong. I felt incompetent...I guess it's things you can't always predict but nevertheless it's sucky. I hope those animals are okay, and especially that old sheltie. Poor thing is a possible lepto case...yup fatal in dogs. Such a sweet thing, too. I guess it's hard to get back to 'reality' as they say when you're so far from it for so long..at least it felt like a long time.<br />
<br />
I think this is just a phase that'll pass, once I get used to it again. I need to stop being antisocial and actually see my fucking friends. I mean you guys rock and all but you don't live down the street. Lol.<br />
<br />
This is pointless rambling and well, I hope everyone else is having a better tuesday. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=)" title="=) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
I want to drink myself stupid, but I won't 'cause <u>that</u> is <b>beyond</b> stupid.<br />
<br />
I think it's funny how my mp3 player knows EXACTLY what tunes to play at these times. I just want to punch the crap out of something, walking back home I passed these fucking stupid little garden gnomes some idiot on my neighbourhood owns...I was so close to kicking their stupid little faces to pieces. <br />
<br />
FUCK.<br />

<br />
But, I needed to capture this again...whence cleaning my desk on tuesday afternoon I came across these images that need to be worked on!<br />
<br />
- anesthesia<br />
- leviathans > mechanic, kinetic, biodegradable<br />
- synthetic empathy<br />
- morbidly beautiful<br />
- morose lover ( this to me sounds like one of those statments, you know? Kind of like tabula rasa...I can't remember where it came from! )<br />
- silver tributes to the gods > skyscrapers<br />
<br />
<b>Random Scrap Land</b><br />
<br />
Bleed your lips <br />
unto mine and<br />
feed me with <br />
the fire you<br />
have buried <br />
inside.<br />
<br />
Afraid to awaken it,<br />
afraid to rekindle it<br />
and let it combust<br />
inside of you<br />
and sear you<br />
whole.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Crawling<br />
writhing in<br />
an inner agony<br />
that grasps me<br />
from<br />
within and <br />
crushes me like<br />
a mere<br />
butterfly<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Perhaps I've written these before, or they're just echoes of previous pieces...but they seem a little too overdone. Who knows? I LOVE this one! I think this is what I wrote one time when I was thinking about little ditties about the zodiac.<br />
<br />
<sub>Look at Libra sitting there<br />
Graceful and pretty &#039<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" />on the chair<br />
Mind that swirls with many thoughts<br />
all alive, but chosen naught.</sub><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ So, tonight we saw Tool for the second time in a row...and somewhere within their performace...just watching Maynard move so limber and agile...he instilled some kind of image that I would like to convey with polished words.<br />
<br />
<b>The image</b><br />
<sub>spider<br />
spinning a latticework of colour<br />
from nothing to infinity<br />
gobbling it all up</sub><br />
<br />
<i>Just ideas, just mere ideas...but it's something right?</i><br />
<br />
I'm trying to write something worth reading...but my mind overflows everyday. Every conversation is <sub>multi-faceted, like a prism, irridescent</sub> >><i>  words obvi belong higher up in this entry!</i><br />
<br />
<sub>Colours, I must capture the colours...the prisms, the light bending to the will, to the black and white body from which spins a billion different colours...silken thread that turns to wire and wraps around one's throat...guillotine wire? Something less sinister, something ordinary...something deceiving.<br />
<br />
Must make it descriptive, intriguing, dark [maybe], perhaps multi-faceted is the answer?</sub><br />
<br />
<i>Sorry for the jumbled thinking, I needed somewhere to jot it down and this was the closest window. </i><br />
<br />
<sub>Shadows, dancing, silhouettes, devouring colour into montones, dreary, routine, dull, listless, lethargic, reflections, mirrors, glass, contorting, melding, combining, crumbling, tearing, falling.</sub><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey darlings, so my conscience finally caught up with me and told me I just see how you lot were doing! I miss dA but certainly enough I don't have many reasons to go here unless for hearing things from you lot, to come here with. Let's see; I've finished school, attended my graduation and then fell into the beehive. Been a worker bee ever since looking for ways to fly outta the hive once in a while.<br />
<br />
Hm, the last inspirational thing I posted so since then I'm been on this inspiration strike - unwillingly of course. I don't even know what to WRITE HERE anymore. In this space in a little box in this little screen in this little window...it all seems so insignificant. And are WE not like these little words trapped in this matrix that we are pasted within? Embedded within this fabric that flows like ribbons and extends past the ends of the galaxies and far beyond into the unknown?<br />
<br />
Sorry for the pseudo-philosophical standpoint but I'm one of those states that inspiration sneaks in some other guise that I can't even BEGIN to comprehend.<br />
<br />
Slayer plays and my once-apocalyptic dreams ceased a few days before we were hit with this severe thunder storm. And I lost my ring when I passed out saturday, last night had a dream I was wearing it and when I got home, I found it.<br />
<br />
What are dreams made of?<br />
<br />
Maybe they are little pieces of time that every person collects as their memories and when we close our eyes we open up the information highway and each soul sells its stories through Morpheus' fair. It is like the black market on an unconscious level.<br />
And each night when we dream the Reverie Reaper collects just a tiny piece of those recollections. Now, isn't it strange that we get old and as we do we forget things. All these stories slipping away while we sleep.<br />
<br />
What am I doing here? I'm itching to write, it crawls under my skin and writhes beneath my eyelids.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey there, darlings...as you may as well can see I've been SORELY lacking on keeping up with devs on here and both with writing them as well...I've just submitted two pieces...and actually the reason why dA has been feeling slightly neglecting is because I've another drug of choice<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flixster.com">[link]</a> >> ja, I'm too lazy to show off my spiffy HTML skillz lol!<br />
<br />
It's a wicked site for movie lovers, and hey there are tons of wicked people on there too...and they take up a LOT of my time.<br />
<br />
So, to get rid of this writing slump...I'm turning to you my fellow deviants! What say you?<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><sup><b>Feed me with inspiration!</b></sup></u><br />
<br />
Anything.<br />
Anything at all.<br />
And, maybe I can do likewise.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I am so LACKING in the writing department it's not even funny...I have all these erratic verses all over my computer but with no knowledge or power of HOW to put them together so they actually WERK.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cries.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":cries:" title="Waaaah!" /><br />
<br />
On the other hand, I've been rockin' out like a mutha and cleaning to:<br />
- DIO<br />
- Opeth<br />
- NiN<br />
- PT<br />
- Manic St Preachers<br />
- Bowie<br />
- Disturbed<br />
- Incubus<br />
- Zombie<br />
- Out of Your Mouth<br />
<br />
Which means, with all these uplifting tunes my place looks SPOTLESS and I'm very motivated to finish. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
[FYI] <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /><br />
<br />
By the way, that old ID with the stars...with the Opeth lyrics is a bit of a twist of a song remember I was asking you lot if you knew what it was?! I figured it out...and remember why I love this band <b>SO FUCKEN MUCH</b>.<br />
<br />
<b><sub>Forest of October</sub></b><br />
<br />
<sub><i>The memories that now rest in this forest<br />
Forever shadowing the sunrise of my heart<br />
Wings leave their nest at my coming<br />
Swaying away unto the cold glowing sky<br />
<br />
Dreaming away for a while<br />
My spirit sighs in peace<br />
Gazing unto the stars<br />
Please, take me there</i> [<---- this part]<br />
<br />
<i>I am so alone, so cold<br />
My heart is too scarred to glow<br />
I wish the sunrise to come<br />
Take my soul (away)<br />
From this cold, lonely shell<br />
I am free<br />
<br />
From the eternal sea I rose<br />
Veiled in darkness on either shore<br />
Lost my pride, lost its glow<br />
For me the sun rose no more<br />
<br />
The forest of October<br />
Sleeps silent when I depart<br />
The web of time<br />
Hides my last trace<br />
<br />
My blaze travels the last universe<br />
Like the sights of magic<br />
Wrapped in aeons<br />
My mind is one with my soul<br />
I fall alone<br />
While leaves fall from the weeping trees</i></sub><br />
<br />
Well, that would be all...now I have to put everything back as it was and continue being productive. Life you allllllllll....break's on...therefore we head home tonight...will be there tomorrow morn like almost 8 am. Lol = sleeeeeeeeeep.<br />

<br />
And, even sooner than that PLACEBO are coming here April 9...bad news is I'm still IN school.<br />

My weekend was UNEXPECTEDLY awesome...how was your lot?!?! Life you and miss you all...I'm much too busy to be catching up with dA and much too thought-bound to think about inspiration for writing...<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ **FULL TITLE: <i>The aroma of winter stirs a thousand frozen butterflies to life</i>.<br />
<br />
I know I've not written anything in a while, and haven't done anything with the last entry...but, these ideas keep bombarding my mind...so maybe this week I'll post them all here [when I remember them] and work with what I have.<br />
<br />
This weekend was a slight break from small-town life when we went for a conference in the big city. Lol. It was fun, two of my friends came with me. Learned a lot! Got free shit! Chilled, drank tea and ate cookies. A LOT. Wastched A History of Violence - CRONENBURG def, and Memoirs of a Geisha - beautiful story and cinematography - need to read book...<br />
<br />
So, today was laundry..going out to lunch, stoodying and then we borrowed a movie from a friend who rented it. Little Miss Sunshine was awesome! I recommend it, it's a very good one. I think I may END up buying it too. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
After Heroes - HOLY EFF CAKES - I was walking home from Sands' this eve and saw the snowflakes fluttering so elegantly within the slightest of northern breezes, and then gently descending amongst the rest of the fluffy piles. Those piles were not just fluffy, but glittering as well. It's amazing how easy it is to make the tiniest of towns look so damn beautiful with just a sprinkle from Nature's snow shaker.<br />
<br />
I inhaled, listening to Opeth and it was so damn beautiful.<br />
<br />
The air is so refreshing, clean, and so delicious.<br />
<br />
I wish I could find the words to describe it, and then take that scent and lock it away forever. Everything smells so beautiful and polished, it's sweet but not too strong. Subtle but not too wan. It's perfect. And the amount of inspiration drawn from that is amazing.<br />
<br />
It's like soft malleable piles of silver that lightly shimmer upon the roads, trees, rooftops.<br />
<br />
It's just amazing and I hope you all can see it too.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Sandy and I went outside, as per usu...her to smoke and me to keep her company while we chatted. Once we left the house, I experienced these things.<br />
<br />
They're kind of an array of thoughts put together completely upon the whole spur of the moment.<br />
<br />
(The best part about living in a small town is<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
<i>You can go outside where it's deadly calm. Nothing seems to be alive but the moon's rays glistening into the porous snowpiles. Not a leaf trod upon by mammals stirs because there is no evidence of the slightest of breezes to produce ripples in the atmosphere.<br />
<br />
So, when we leave the warm comforts of the home we can hear ourselves laughing and it can reverberate for kilometres [ or miles if you're empirical ] away. At that time, nothing exists save for the only two figures conversing loudly upon the porch steps.<br />
<br />
And, when we part our lips and emit the wildest of animal noises we can think of...all that we can ever hear echoing for miles and miles away...is the mark we left within the atmosphere.<br />
<br />
Are we but wolves in this lonely piece of the world they call a [godforsaken] town?<br />
<br />
Howling our cries into the distance to announce to the world that no matter how small we are. Even though we seem to be the most insignificant of beings, we are still here and have a right to be here and let the whole fucking universe know that 'hey we live here'.<br />
<br />
Hear our cries as they dissipate into the night quietly like a tumultous vapour disintegrating into the depths of the night.<br />
<br />
Just the smallest of joys in the midst of winter living in a small town, only then does it actually seem alright to be here.</i><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello, how are you all doing?<br />
<br />
Hopefully all is well regardless of the weather. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /><br />
<br />
Last night went out, for the first time in two weeks. Had a pretty fun night...and now it's time to buckle down and work on assignments and homework that is due this upcoming week. Not really looking forward to that, but then again who is?<br />
<br />
So got home at like 3 am last night, went straight to sleep...no questions, hesitations, nothing.<br />
<br />
Had the weirdest array of dreams that one can ever have.<br />
<br />
Was woken up finally at 12:30 by a friend of mine calling.<br />
<br />
So, I guess now is the time to start being productive.<br />
<br />
On a side note to that, I'd like to participate in these contests and write and whatevs...but the time is just not applicable. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /> again.<br />
<br />
I'm terribly behind on devs, messages, journals, whatevs...so I may wipe the slate clean again...but then again I don't know when I'll have the time.<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay, so I realize the words I picked last time...were perhaps a little TOO various and completely...impossible to combine in one piece. But, then again...I didn't say you've got to use all...you can use one, all or several. And, this pertains to any kind of art; be it written or not.<br />
<br />
<u><b>New set of words</b></u><br />
<br />
<b>1.   dissimulate \dih-SIM-yuh-layt\, transitive verb:</b><br />

<b>3.  conflate \kuhn-FLAYT\, transitive verb:</b><br />
<sub>1. To bring together; to fuse together; to join or meld.<br />
2. To combine (as two readings of a text) into one whole. <br />

-- Anne Billson, "Bent beneath the weight of its own righteousness", Sunday Telegraph, March 1, 1998<br />
<br />
Painting America as a drug-ridden society leads to bad policy -- as does the tendency in some quarters to conflate the various drug abuses into a single dreadful statistic.<br />
-- William Raspberry, "Not a Drug-Ridden Society", Washington Post, April 21, 2000<br />
<br />
. . .lean and mobile military units that conflate the traditional categories of police officers, commandos, emergency-relief specialists, diplomats, and, of course, intelligence officers.<br />

<br />
As in one of his earlier novels , . . . Kerr invents a credibly grim scenario for our future: most of the earth's inhabitants are infected with a deadly virus and maunder in fetid cities.<br />

<br />
Those are the words, and to me...they sound ABSOLUTELY perfect for any kind of art! Enjoy and good luck...I'll try this time too. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ How fucken BRILLIANT was that title?<br />
None can top it!<br />
None.<br />
Not even with this being up past 2 am and far from tired after a most unproductive and lazy day...so I realize I promise the whole uploading of fieldtrip pics...well, here's something more fun.<br />
<br />
After this you'll either think we're ASSININE or hilarious and would have wanted to be there....toooooo.<br />
<br />
That's the fieldtrip we went on, after our hiking and trekking through the woods...discovering animal markings and learning. Then building a HUGE fire [accidentally]...though we got that 10% no problem.<br />
<br />
Anyways, enjoy.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/Eb23LSvibOc">Snowy fun!</a><br />

<br />
<br />
I watch all these deviants.<br />
<br />
Too many for my own good...and then what happens??!?!<br />
<br />
<br />
Alarming numbers in my inbox.<br />
<br />
<br />
My fault...for knowing where all these talented people exist...and yours for being so damn talented.<br />
<br />
**NOTE: This completely useless entry will be discarded in the next 36 hours or it will self destruct.<br />
<br />
<br />
Take me to the stars, please take me there... >> which song? It's one of my faves...and I've got so much Opeth I donae remember which. O_o<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>Take me to the stars,<br />
let me lie untouched<br />
hidden in the milky way<br />
<br />
The galaxy will swirl<br />
below my fingertips<br />
and the darkened <br />
cosmos will envelop<br />
my form<br />
<br />
Floating,<br />
immune to gravity<br />
I will orbit unchanged<br />
around this ever-changing planet<br />
<br />
Embed these stars<br />
forever in my eyes<br />
and let us lie in wait<br />
<br />
Let us watch the<br />
planets burn<br />
spiralling around<br />
each other in <br />
this never-ending<br />
game<br />
<br />
Let us be starry-eyed,<br />
if we were blind then<br />
just give us one wish<br />
<br />
Let us be starry.<br />
Let us be blind.<br />
Let us be blinded<br />
by these little<br />
spirals of light</i><br />
*************<br />
<i>Embrace the silver,<br />
pull it in<br />
Feel it dripping<br />
inside the skin<br />
Drink this galaxy<br />
like gin, let the stars<br />
wipe away all sin</i><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ So, as I've outlined before...here is a ecclectic collection of words that aim to inspire...it may be difficult...for if you wish to part take in such a task, I wish you luck! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /><br />

-- Roy Clancy, "Ready for Y2K...", Calgary Sun, December 15, 1999<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ This is Part II of my awesomly complaint-filled rant where yesterday Morpheus did a fucken poor excuse of a job last night...so this came to me.<br />
<br />
Is everyone familiar with Foto Friday? <a href="http://fotofriday.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/f/o/fotofriday.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="fotofriday" /></a> is this awesome club that gives you a picture every week and allows you to write something for it to keep that creativity flowing....well my idea is SLIGHTLY similiar.<br />
<br />
Word[play] is the use of one or a few words to capture the essence or partial emotions/colours/concepts in a piece.<br />
<br />
My friend <a href="http://baddabing.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="baddabing" /></a>gets these Word of the Day emails from this site and so she sends them onwards to me. So, what I will do with this is this: pick a few words I find suitable and post in my journal entry the full definition, context, etc.<br />
<br />
Then, to motivate your artistic abilities >> feel free to use one or several words in the list.<br />
<br />
Since I SUCK at drawing and whatnot, I'll simply feature the 3 best ones of the week...or maybe I'll be totally generous and post all one them. <br />
<br />
Well, how's it sound? If it sounds stupid donae do it, but it's funny 'cause if you've noticed the random words used in my latest pieces...it's cause of a little something called "Word of the Day". Plus, I find it expands our cerebration capacity and allows us to twist these words into something worth sharing.<br />
<br />
**NOTE: This piece can be literature, sketch, painting, photography, digital painting, sculpture, WHATEVER you feel <b>art</b> means. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
I'll start with posting a word...probably on friday; but it won't be consistently on a friday! Like enrichment for animals, I'll enrich you with the element of surprise. Lol.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Just a little peek into my devious eye...<br /><br />Hey there everyone so since going shopping on friday...and then oh going to see Rocky Balboa with fruendlings and then going to chill at my friend's house cause he's now back from Israel...shopping on Saturday didnae turn out which is COOL thought cause I got to spend some QUALITY time with the fam...<br />
<br />
Then after watching this wicked cool documentary on National Geographic Explorer on how lethal hippos are, then some Project Runway and 1.5 episodes of Ugly Betty. Paula and I [both = planless] watched Stay and took hits from the bong.<br />
<br />
IT WAS FUCKEN AWESOME.<br />
<br />
I donae think I've ever had such a wicked trip. I kept looking at the telly and it was like we were inside it, then when I tried to pull myself away from all the halucinogenic properties we became a part of a lifesize diarama...or is it diaroma? ANYWAYS...it was FUCKEN insane...the more I tried to pull lose from it the more I felt my whole body getting sucked back inside it. It was pulling me in, over and over and then it was so fucken DEJA VU it was fucken insane.<br />
<br />
And then when I wasn't looking at the telly but off to the side where Paula's mosaic of Homer poster hangs I saw the words hi that transformed into a dancing robot.<br />
<br />
And, when we weren't in a diarama or inside the movie the music was like it was pulling inside my ears. 360, I mean it was all around me. I know what surround sound was, but it was like I was in a concert and the speakers were inches before my face...or in the IMAX theatre.<br />
<br />
WHOA, what a fucken trip.<br />
<br />
Holds, gotta print out gift tags!!<br />
<br />
DONE. We are ACTUALLY done. Cause we didnae remember about getting presents for the fam till last night when we were baked and we're like FUCK. Today we went to one mall and found everything >> I was lucky enough to find mutti something before hand. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
If you wanna know, we got vatti = dark chocolate collection from Godiva's and an hmv giftcard, grandvatti = a really fancy double jet butane lighter, grandmutti = a very warm and soft bathrobe and mutti = lavendar bath salts, ferrero rocher and a nice bookmark instead of the ratty ticket stub she usually uses...<br />
<br />
So, anyways tonight it's just gonna be a few of us, drinking and being merry sounds like good enough time to me as we actually DECIDED ON SOMEWHERE TO GO.<br />
<br />
My fam exchanges presents on New Year's cause we donae celebrate X-mas and didnae really do much for Hanukkah this year so ja. BUT, back in the day in Moscow it was against the law to practice religion so New Year's was the only chance you got. I guess it kind of became a family tradition and 'sides I think it's a lovely way to start off the new year!<br />
<br />
So I hope you lot have a blast, drinking, partying, dancing and being as merry as you can for '06 to end and '07 to begin. <br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Just a little peek into my devious eye...<br /><br />So, today was pretty awesome. Myself, <a href="http://amans.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/m/amans.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="amans" /></a> and my friend Nouka went shopping! And YESSIR I enjoy how boxing day is never ONE DAY it is usually ONE WEEK. Awesome times...went everywhere we needed and then decided to head to HMV which I am TERRIBLY bad at blowing my money on music and movies.<br />
<br />
I think TERRIBLY bad is actually an understatement...as I've mentioned to my friends dozens of times over how I would buy the whole store if I spent enough time in there and had the dough.<br />
<br />
So, I already found PARTY MONSTER ON DVD!!! I AM SO PSYCHED TO WATCH IT FOR THE TEN ZILLIONTH time...and was heading over to metal...to check out their selection for Opeth CDs...one which I bought the week before and tons of others that my sis has in her posession. <br />
<br />
As those store clerks or whatever they're called are taught they ask if you need help rie? RIE! So, as we were looking at Iron Maiden and Motley Crue [Nouks' a HUGE MC fan] and I was perusing over CoB, Opeth, Deftones, Metallica [you know the gist]...Before he asked us and we said no...cause I found PARTY MONSTER!! <br />
Anyways, he was all <i>"I wouldn't have pegged you for metal fans, but it's cool."</i> And that PISSED ME OFF so fucking much. Because, what would he peg us for? So, I'm wearing my only Campus Crew blue and white sweater with hawaiian flowers and jeans...and no eyeliner and no silver and black and sans the fuck you attitude...does that suddenly categorize me into the teenie boppers? Or JT lovahs? I mean SRSLY what the/WHO the fuck is this guy judging me??<br />
<br />
COMING FROM A DUDE THAT HAD A VERY CHEAP IMITATION OF DAVEY HAVOK'S HAIRCUT...with red instead of blonde streaks? WHO is he to tell me what he pegs me for?<br />
<br />
GUYS, srsly can you really judge a person on what music they like??!?!?!<br />
<br />
Unless I'm wearing my Pink Floyd or Tool merchandise, or he's wear Sean John or Snoop Dogg or she's announcing MCR on her zippie?<br />
<br />
HOW WOULD YOU KNOW that I don't prefer some Jazz in the morning, some classical in the afternoon and metal in the eve? That I don't want to listen to some opera while I'm in the bath or am singing my lungs out to some old 60s band on the way to werk? <br />
<br />
Seriously, how would you know?<br />
Please, explain it to me...cause I do not and cannot do that.<br />
<br />
It's different if you know someone's personality...like let's say your BFFAEAEAE of ten years is the cutest, sweetest, most timid chick but at night she loves to rap like a mutha to 50 or Jay-Z or TUPAC? BUT, to tell someone you DONAE even know...I think that's not very polite. <br />
<br />
Like, if my hypothetical friend once heard ODB on the radio in my car and asked me to turn it up when I was about to change the station and I'd just look at her incredulously and ask her "FOR SERIOUS?" And she'd nod with a great smile on her face, then HELL YES I would turn that mofo up. But, it's a different situation...isn't it?<br />
<br />
What'd you lot think?<br />
<br />
[oh ja the AND SCHEIZE was gonna be my recollection of events from the past week or so...but we'll save that till another day!]<br /><br />And, that is all liflies!<br />

<br />
Anyways, it's one of my favourite trilogies ever and I just found out that the movie is coming out in DEC 2007.<br />

Mrs Coulter = Nicole Kidman<br />
Lord Asrael = Daniel Craig<br />

I'm such a dork, signed up for updates...so I'll let you lot know [whether you want TO or NOT] when the trailer's out and all that jazzzzzzzz. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />And, that is all liflies!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Just a little peek into my devious eye...<br /><br />Hahahah, the title seems fitting as to how I'm about to embrace sleep and all its comforts.<br />
<br />
So, let's see.<br />
<br />
She is back in Suburbia.<br />
She totally devoured Eragon.<br />
She hopes she aced all her exams.<br />
She has so much shit to do.<br />
She's a little alarmed by the pure lack of snow.<br />
She's determined to place piccos of NYC, fieldtrips up hurr.<br />
She's also determined to work on those one liners and turn them into some kind of wintery, sugary goodness now that the snow's left.<br />
<br />
[And this is when I STOP talking in third person!?!]<br />
<br />
Heehehe. Anyways, Eragon = holy eff = gotta see movie NOW.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow = time to slowly introduce myself back into sociliazing with people! Lol.<br />
<br />
Watched <b>Breakfast on Pluto</b> on my Rogers Demand. Highly recommended to anyone with an open mind. I tend to like to watch weird movies, or so I'm told..<br />
It was a delightfully entertaining movie. From start to finish.<br />
<br />
For reals, slumber calls...but first...maybe some brief entrance into some other world and then forth....<br /><br />And, that is all liflies!<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Just a little peek into my devious eye...<br /><br />So, I saw <a href="http://chaoticgoddess.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/c/h/chaoticgoddess.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="chaoticgoddess" /></a> doing this and I figured 'Why the hell not?'<br />
<br />
You probably have seen this around in most journals, yet here it is again...pretty simple hmm? <br />
<br />
<b>For the first TEN people that respond here I will go into each of your galleries and FEATURE  4 of my favourite pieces made by you [in my next journal entry]...the catch is: <u>You have to do it, too</u>!</b><br />
<br />
EDIT**: By, you have to do it too...I mean...you have to post that above sentence in your journals and allow others to reply...so you can feauture THEIR work...you DIG, now?<br />
<br />
So, I'm waiting...and while I wait I'm going to post a few thoughts...those that pertain to writing that is.<br />
<br />
<i>Burnt into my retinas like northern lights</i><br />
<br />
[This very phrase is my msn name for a few weeks now, I just can't get it out of my head and I absolutely adore how it sounds!]<br />
<br />
<i>Ashen fingertips,<br />
Soldered lips<br />
burning like embers<br />
in your shadow hands</i><br />
<br />
[Inspired by a piece by <a href="http://plaizir.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/l/plaizir.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="plaizir" /></a>...the beginning of inspiration anyways...]<br />
<br />
<i>Who are you reciting chemicals in this unbalanced (chemical) equation</i><br />
<br />
[This was inspired by that Vienna Teng song 'Recessional' where she sings:<br />
<b>"Who are you echoing streetsigns"</b><br />
<br />
This just kind of came to me while walking home from Sandy's and the snow was falling]<br />
<br />
A few more ideas for me to dump in here [they may not make sense or anything to you/me now, but MAY someday]<br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletblue.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblue:" title="Bullet; Blue" />frozen eyelashes<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletblue.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblue:" title="Bullet; Blue" />foggy dreams<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ So, hello lovelies let me tell you a little something about how my day is going...<br />
<br />
After finally not listening to the cars driving by outside, the extensive noises the heater makes when it's about to start working and not feeling as weird knowing the house was short two more housemates...I received an [almost] fitful sleep. This was after deciding to put down Eragon...<br />
<br />
Anyways, so I woke up and noticed my eye was irritated yesterday, so now it felt a little weird...after that terrible ordeal of spreading conjunctivitis to <b>BOTH</b> friggin eyes three years ago, I've become very paranoid. So, anyways...eye half open I trudged to my labbie to see if my friend was online so we can make up a plan for today to finish this MOTHER FUCGAKING CONIFER PROJ....<br />

She wasn't, so I was going to press snooze...but ending up waking up. Then, went on dA and saw a page that said someone had bought me a month long subscription. Now this really brightened my day! I went to my messages section and sure enough it was <a href="http://princess-of-shadows.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/r/princess-of-shadows.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="princess-of-shadows" /></a> who had awarded me and my fellow semi-finalists in her Crow Contest! It was really a lovely day, then. I don't even think that it was that great of a poem but I submitted it 'cause it fit the criteria. <a href="http://princess-of-shadows.deviantart.com/journal/10925017/">[link]</a><br />
<br />
So, a huge <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/glomp.gif" width="47" height="20" alt=":glomp:" title="Glomp!" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cuddle.gif" width="24" height="17" alt=":cuddle:" title="Cuddling up with someone close..." /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> and <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!" /> to her...while you're there you may as WELL check out her ART, it will make you have a different perspective on the term 'dark'. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
Anyways, so I went to go shower...and I OBVI needed coffee as I was going to use the bloody shower gel for shampoo until I realized the bottle was not Fructis. HAHAHAHA. I don't think I've ever done it before.<br />
<br />
Okay, so just waiting on Sands to return so we can mount the specimens and present our proj in a half-decent fashion.<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay, firstly I'd like to say I'm feeling loads better today. Thanks for all the kind and warm words, always appreciated. It was just a phase that even frightened me, it showed me of the rage that I could posess and let's just hope it never is able to come forth. Now, I have another question.<br />
<br />
So, today I learned about CHAVS.<br />
And, it's just something I don't quite understand!<br />
Can anyone possibly explain it to me?<br />
<br />
Why the hell is there this meak version of Clockwork Orange going around embodied by hiphop-loving 14-19 year olds? And why are they able to inflict such harm? <br />
<br />
Someone seriously needs to teach them a lesson.<br />
<br />
I don't care what people think, so when my friend told me that when she went over there and wanted to unicycle, her friend made her put the uni down and stand still while a group of these chavs walked by...and she was all why?<br />
<br />
Apparently she would have gotten insulted or "taken a piss" on and possibly even assaulted. THAT IS SOME FUCKED UP SHIT, yo.<br />
<br />
How come there are places in this world that exist like this?<br />
<br />
I am just completely at a loss for words and cannot wrap my mind around the slightest ounce of this notion.<br /><br /> ]]></description>
