                <description><![CDATA[ I think I am just going to stop posting here, altogether. Every time I go to post, the options for literature are deeper and deeper inbedded within the posting options - it is now a tiny sidenote to the submission process, apparently not worthy of the same headlines that "art" is granted - though it is most certainly arguable that literature is itself a type of "art." <br />
<br />
I have yet to make a decision, as <i>while</i> the options are terrible and few, as writers don't maintain highlights or DD acclaim (if it were all one category, writing would never appear on the list!), I don't want to leave this place after so many years, nor do I want to abandon the writers that still are here - it's still a goodish place to attain feedback, if you know how to comment on other people's work so that they look at yours. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/blankstare.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":|" title=":| (Blank Stare)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ You people make me literally mad. <br />
<br />
I don't believe most people in this world care consistently about others. It being relatively simple to come and go, I find that most people take that option. It's simple to not listen, it's simple to not really put up with the quite <i>existing</i> situations that others go through, and to concentrate on anything and everything else that revolves around the scope of <i>you</i>. Nothing has changed. The world just continues on its path to what I'm pretty sure is its own brand of damnation.<br />
<br />
You're causing me to believe that no one actually listens. And they don't. This is making me not want to listen. What's the point in talking, in communicating, in writing, if no one fucking gives a damn? What's the point if, no matter how valid or concrete or realistic my claims and feelings and thoughts are, if no one takes them into account? I should just as well keep them inside, and let myself benefit from them, as I would either way. What is the point in having other people exist if we perpetuate a singular-based mode of existing in this first place??????????????????<br />
<br />
At least, of all the people I can think of, there <b>are</b> four (two most of all) who are consistent, and for that, I thank both of you. Renee and Sean, Ally and Patrick (though you're still away) while not able to remain in CONSTANT contact, are the most consistent out of most likely everyone that I know. Whenever you get a chance, I get a note or a hello, or something. I really sincerely appreciate it. Even though you both have things going on in your own lives (especially you, Sean), you both manage to think of me, and it makes me feel like I actually am a person.<br />
<br />
I just don't know if it's enough to make me think that writing, or talking, is a worthy endeavor. <br />
<br />
Who cares?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've been thinking it over, looking at my poetry and contemplating on how I feel about writing poetry. I don't think that I have gotten all of the ins-and-outs of the craft, but I have done enogh to feel like I sort of can do it well enough. My mode of thinking seems to have changed. I do see things in the same way, but I don't think poetry's way of covering certain particular ((things)) ((ideas)) ((concepts)) ((conditions)) that I want to illuminate will be the most clear and effective, while it does still have its purposes and its advantages. I'm going to write a few new poetry pieces, post those, and then move on to lengthy prose for a while. If anything, it should teach me discipline. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Alright, I'm facing a bit of a problem here, sort of. I had my writing portfolio all written up and I was so very proud of it, I actually wanted to show it to everyone. However, my computer (I loathe you, Microsoft) spontaneously restarted. Of course, I did not save my work. I lost my revisions. All of them. I had to re-revise them and I am so discouraged, and displeased with the new revisions in light of the old ones (which I believe were better), that I do not want to share the work. I also feel so discouraged that I am washed-up as a writer that I do not want to even keep writing. (Everyone goes through this. [Loathsome work ethic, prehistoric insecurities.]) This is why I haven't been submitting lately. I'm not sure whether or not I want to keep writing, if I can even start against at all, nor am I sure that I want to post the rest of the poems from my portfolio. FYI: <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/33406330/">Twenty One Little Notes On Stones: I Was Here But You Weren't - The Statue Over There Did Not Move And Said, Do You Have A Physical Defect?</a> was from my portfolio and is one of the pieces that was re-revised. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yeah I'll submit my stuff soon. I'm going away for the weekend. I'll be around and try to post when I get back. I made an appointment for Tuesday, two of them. One is to help me. One is to help a friend. I don't know what else to do. I just don't want to keep feeling like this. And I would like to feel like I have a friend around who is going to actually listen to me without referencing things in their own life. Or how they would do things. Or what they want from me. Without really listening to what the hell I am saying or just understanding that sometimes I need to fucking rant.<br />
<br />
I would like to know that we, as human beings, are more than just plants, organic organisms that are born, live, and then die having grown just a bit in between.<br />
<br />
I would like to know that there is some sort of connection between all of us. I want to know that there is such a thing as true love, whether it be learned or what. I just want to know that this is not as isolated as I keep thinking it is. I am so fucking sick and tired of being overlooked and passed over and seemingly invisible. I want to get out of myself. I want to be dead so I can figure out what all of this is for. I want to live so I can figure out why life is so valuable, especially when it feels like so much shit.<br />
<br />
I want to have little emotional problems and to be well-adjusted.<br />
<br />
<br />
I want <i>someone</i> to notice when I am not here.<br />
<br />
<br />
I want to separate myself from everyone I am around right now, for the mistakes and for the stress and for the failures, but that will achieve nothing.<br />
<br />
<br />
I just want things to be okay.<br />
------------<br />
A number of hours and a nap later:<br />
<br />
I still feel crappy. And yeah, it sucks to think that people can just stop loving like that. It makes me wonder what the point is. But I've got to get out of this mess. And I guess I am the only one who can do it. And I guess I am the only one that can make me happy at the end of the day.<br />
<br />
The entire plant concept still bothers me profoundly.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I guess that's life; I guess that is just what it all is. You have problems, you figure out solutions, and you move on. Some people just have more than others. I guess this is to make me stronger. I wonder what I have to be strong and adjusted for.?<br />
<br />
<br />
By the way, I'm attempting to learn how to read and write music effectively.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, on looking back to my journal entry previous, I can't say I feel especially proud, now. I seem to have suffered a major to minor setback of ego - as in, I threw all the papers across the room and cannot imagine myself as saying something good in them. I'm hoping this is a normal occurance of a writer, to throw ones work around for lack of enjoyment. I'm thinking of what I want to do, now, and I think I may work on some prose after I get this poetry in line. The submission of my portfolio works will be late in coming; there is so much revising to be done.<br />
<br />
<br />
Walt Whitman:<br />
<br />
<i>... Have you reckon'd a thousand acres much? have you reckon'd the<br />
earth much?<br />
Have you practis'd so long to learn to read?<br />
Have you felt so proud to get at the meaning of poems?<br />
<br />
Stop this day and night with me and you shall possess the origin of<br />
all poems,<br />
You shall possess the good of the earth and sun, (there are millions<br />
of suns left,)<br />
You shall no longer take things at second or third hand, nor look<br />
through the eyes of the dead, nor feed on the spectres in<br />
books,<br />
You shall not look through my eyes either, nor take things from me,<br />
You shall listen to all sides and filter them from your self.</i><br /><br /> ]]></description>

I am looking over my portfolio for my writing class and am relatively amused/proud. I'll start submitting some of that - I have to clean up some of my deviations before I start, though.<br />
<br />
I am going to be writing more while I am here, I hope. I'm sharing my room with my sister and her fiancee, so I am going to have to find time elsewhere to read and whatnot. Interpret: I won't be uploading the pieces from my 'folio for a while.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I haven't gotten anything written that I want to post, just yet. I have some doodlings here and there, and some small ideas, but nothing I really want to flesh out just yet. I think I need some time away from people, not because I do not like or appreciate them, but simply because I think I need to have some time for reflection in isolation. Will I actually do this? Seeing as how I live in a dorm, with a roommate, it's highly unlikely. I will try to the best of my ability to weasle myself away, but the thing of that is - I like my friends too much and I get bored too easily. Maybe I'll squirrel myself to the library.<br />
<br />
What does one read when one is trying to be inspired? Not just with writing. With life. I want to be the best person I can be - but who am I? And where can I go from here? Will those around me truly see what I am doing? Or have I damned myself in my past actions? (And those not so past.) What can I do to break from what I see to be my own obstacle, the obstacle of self? What can I do to become a better person for those I love? ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm writing here and there; nothing feels extremely right. I'll wait it out, and I will see. I feel sad, but I know I'm not sad. I'm just bored. I tend to get lethargic and melancholy when I have nothing to do. Perhaps this is why being a teacher will be good for me. I will always have something to do. It will not be easy, but I like that. And I'll get to be creative, and help people. In the summer? Well. I guess things will flow as they will. As of right now, I am bored, quite, with most things. And I wonder - is it because I am bored or am I boring? I need more stimulation in my life. Everything seems like last year and something is missing. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ To Whom It May NOT Concern:<br />
<br />
So, aside from thinking I haven't really been able to be defined as a writer for some time, I get an email saying that my poetry is pretty much crap. Well, I know that it's not on par with a lot of other people - there are a lot of different sorts of poetry, and what I have written for pretty much the entire time I've been writing is stuff that's only important to me, and I am aware that the way I write it makes it interesting to other people. I think it's fucking shitty and the person is pretty dumb to have sent me that email - I never claimed that my poetry was anything other than what it is - something to help me survive. Some people hit shit. I write. I have never written for any other cause but for myself. I have not yet been able to get away from thinking about only what I have to deal with or am experiencing. For this reason, I cannot and will not be able to write anything of true and classic merit - that being a poem which affects all of the people who read it because it simply rings true in lesson, not just reads pretty in words. So, I still think that person was a fucktard, but I don't feel bad about what I've written at all. Whatever will be, will be - and this is what my poetry has been.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My version of the Tommy-Knockers, I suppose.<br />
<br />
I've got some decent ideas from a few people. Vicky suggested the story I still have YET to write for her, involving a notebook and David Spade (because he is hot) and Yosh (the delight) sparked some interesting images with <i>"It's about a lovely young girl, just like you, my dear, who lives on a deserted island with her old father, who is a powerful magician, and is secretly the exiled duke of Milan. "</i> Ah, Shakespeare. <br />
<br />
So!<br />
<br />
I'm thinking, and there's one thing I can't seem to get out of my head. I think it's got something to do with logs. Or a giant rabbit. Anyway, I have some food for thought, but I'm still open to suggestions.<br />
<br />
Oh. PS. I wrote two amazing poems last night. With the help of Vicky. They rock. Thank you, Vicky. (She's totally my muse.)<br />
<br />
When does the inspiration stop?<br />
2:15am.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<b>Body:</b> Yeah, that's cool, but really all it comes down to is that I want more control over the things that happen. I don't like just sitting around letting everyone else call the shots. For all that, I'd rather tell them to leave me the hell alone and don't come around anymore. That's such a bitch move, and I know because I've done it before, but maaaaaaan I just don't want to fall prey to letting them do everything. It bugs me out! It's driving me up a wall.<br />
<br />
<br />
On another note, I think I want to write a nice sized story or play. Any ideas or requests while I try to think of plots?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ so it all comes back to the most important lesson that i almost forgot and i guess it serves me right. no matter who is around you or what you think you mean to them or they to you, you're always going to be alone at the core. there is no such thing as someone being meant for you and any coincidences are just that: coincidences. you have to be strong and proud on your own time, because there will never be anyone there to be with you whenever you need them to be. it's just not like that. yeah, you can have friends and lovers and it's all good and sometimes you really feel like you're on that wavelength, but keep in mind that word "sometimes." the only person who knows you all the time is you. the only person who will ever be there all the time to deal with your emotions and thoughts and fears and whatall else is you. and if you try to lean or depend or count on others, you're just going to wind up sitting on some couch somewhere, bawling your eyes out.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My mind became a blank. I laid in bed,  and stared at the ceiling that seemed  to loom above me, even though I was  turned to face the bookshelf. The pain  in my stomach stemmed from the uterus  and reminded me of some months ago when  I had sinned. I wondered at the depth  of human emotion and at once it hit me  that I could be happy - I could be  happy if I tended my mind to what was  important. What is important? The law  seems to know, and thus this is what I  shall follow. The silence became  greater than the song that was still  playing, so I stealthily got up and  turned off Ronnie Earl's "Skyman,"  which still reminds me of good sleep. I  wondered of rhymes without reason and  returned to bed with the lights out,  leaping the last three feet because I  still think there are things underneath  the solid oaky wood. I would like to  obey some master, but I realize that  there are none except the ones I make  for myself; I make none, not even  myself. This must change - all of this  must change. I looked at the book I had  just finished writing in and debated  the importance of the world. It all  seems quite important, and I play my  part. I wish to write more, and so I  did, with my eyes closed, my stomach  churning with pain, and my legs  swimmimg for some purchase of comfort  they could not find. I waited until 4am  and then I finally gave into the silent  apathy of yearning. It seems  contradictory, but when I woke up at  2pm, I felt like I had come up with the  correct course of action. I will be the  finest lawyer this state has seen. I  will of course first be a secretary,  and steal many yards worth of office  supplies. I will be the finest poetess  I can aspire to be, regardless of  whether I become published and admired.  This is all I can hope for, and so I  do. I believe in second-chances and I  believe in a willingness to succeed.  There can be no abstractions.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It's not too bad.<br />
<br />
I just need to start writing again, and  posting. <br />
<br />
I miss making pictures and seeing them  posted with the poem, and that sense of  accomplishment I got. It's not like I'm  not writing, it's just that I'm not  posting and I'm not really making an  effort to post. I am doing all of this  from someone else's computer and they  don't have photoshop. And I like  composing on my own PC. <br />
<br />
I should stop being such a prima dona. <br />
<br />
(But I'm not really. I just don't know  what the hell I'm doing. I need  something to inspire me in a way that I  just can't say no. Which is what I have  been doing. I need <i>inspirado</i>, I need  something stable and dependable to  think about. I used to have the life I  was leading. Now, what can I really  pour every moment into thinking about?  Nothing seems so important.<br />
<br />
This is largely why I always return to  this idea of it being the only life for  me to live in. Why isn't it? I wrote  the most during those times, didn't I?<br />
<br />
There's got to be something else.<br />
<br />
<br />
I've <i>got</i> to be <i>aware</i> of <i>something else.</i><br /><br /> ]]></description>

A crying, emo Fella staring at the  freezing bathroom tiles, as it were,  saying, "Please don't leave me!" Below  was this:<br />

<br />
Oooooooh, woe is me, for I made the  Fella cry.<br />
<br />
Other news: I have six pages done of a  seven page paper, but I have yet to  list any quotations. It's definitely  due tomorrow and I definitely have an  infinity of quotes to list. And what am  I doing instead? Making fun of fella  for being emo. <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I read "Do You Know the Secret?" and it  seemed to be okay.<br />
<br />
I sort of wish I had more of a venue  for such things; maybe if I had more  practice, I wouldn't get so antsy.<br />
<br />
I have two 7 pg papers due Tuesday and  haven't begun to work on either of  them. I also have a final on Monday  that I haven't studied for and a final  on Tuesday that I haven't studied for.  Some of my friends want me to go up  north this weekend for things that need  taking care of, so where will I find  this little (or not so little) pocklet  of time to do these things in? I'd  better not forget my books... Then I'll  be screwed. (I really don't want to  leave my campus this weekend, and  really don't want to go somewhere where  I might not be able to do the research  I need, etc.)<br />
<br />
Does anyone know what to do about this  whole "writing" thing? Where can I find  people to share this with? Where can I  read and they can read to me and for it  to be comfortable and friendly and  real, not pretentious and petting??<br />
<br />
<br />
I do wonder these things a great deal.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Hi Lacey,<br />
For Wednesday, since it's the last  class, please bring something you've <br />
written that you're proud of to read to  the class. You're not obligated <br />
to <br />
do this, but that's what will be  happening tomorrow. Prof. Singer<br />
<br />
____________________________</i><br /><br />What am I going to do? I hate reading  aloud. I'm not proud of anytihng.  Everything is crap. Okay, yes I am  proud. But this is tomorrow! And I  fucking suck. I am such a fucking  failure. I can't write. What was I ever  thinking? Everything I write is so  fucking crappy. Writing is a dead  craft. No one cares about it. No one  reads or comments or cares and if they  do it's because they know me or  something, I don't fucking know. I'm so  angry at myself; I can't read aloud. I  fucking suck. Why can't I be a good  writer.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>EDIT</b>: Can you guys suggest  something???????<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ [A poem by Frank Bidart]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>To the Dead</i><br />
<br />
<br />
What I hope (when I hope) is that we'll<br />
see each other again,-<br />
<br />
. . . and again reach the VEIN<br />
<br />
in which we loved each other . . .<br />
It existed. <i>It existed.</i><br />
<br />
There is a NIGHT within the NIGHT,-<br />
<br />
. . . for, like the detectives (the  Ritz Brothers)<br />
in <i>The Gorilla,</i><br />
<br />
once we'd been battered by the gorilla<br />
<br />
we searched the walls, the intricately  carved<br />
inpenetrable panelling<br />
<br />
for a button, lever, latch<br />
<br />
that unlocks a sercret door that<br />
reveals at last secret chambers,<br />
<br />
CORRIDORS within WALLS,<br />
<br />
(the disenthralling, necessary, dreamed  structure<br />
beneath the structure we see,)<br />
<br />
that is the HOUSE within the HOUSE . .  . <br />
<br />
There is a NIGHT within the NIGHT,-<br />
<br />
. . . there were (for example) months  when I seemed only to displease,  frustrate,<br />
<br />
disappoint you-; then, something  triggered<br />
<br />
a drunk lasting for days, and as you <br />
slowly and shakily sobered up,<br />
<br />
sick, throbbing with remorse and  self-loathing,<br />
<br />
insight like ashes: clung<br />
to; useless; hated . . .<br />
<br />
This was the viewing of the power of  the waters<br />
<br />
while the waters were asleep:-<br />
secrets, histories of loves, betrayals,  double-blinds<br />
<br />
not fit (you thought) for the light of  day . . . <br />
<br />
There is a NIGHT within the NIGHT,-<br />
<br />
. . . for, there at times at night,  still we<br />
inhabit the secret place together . . .<br />
<br />
Is this wisdom, or self-pity? -<br />
<br />
The love I've known is the love of<br />
two people staring<br />
<br />
not at each other, but in the same  direction.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ There are many things we understand but  do not know - I need to do these  things, and to tear myself apart, in  order to get to the simplest of things,  of answers - of creation. Of creations.  There is something very simple about  all of this, and it's right there<br />
<br />
beyond the missed years and the  unspoken words<br />
<br />
something included in the pain<br />
<br />
wrapped up in all the joy possible<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
beauty<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Emo Lacey today. Probably for the week.  I've got that sort of sensory-flooding  feeling about me.<br />
<br />
I need to write more. I have a Creative  Writing class, and while I've sketched  out a great many outlines and ideas, I  haven't completed my assignments yet -  it's been a week at least.<br />
<br />
I want to write more. But, I don't feel  like I can write. Or that I want to  write. I don't know. It's hard to  explain. Sort of like how I sat in the  car, staring at the shadows that  weren't really there, thinking to  myself as Lindsay talked, that I could  speak. I could say more interesting  things. I could make people laugh and  have more friends than I do now. But  I'm just too damned apathetic.<br />
<br />
What happened to me?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've got it. I just ran back from math  class, my lungs are on fire, I've still  got my coat and bag on, and I cannot  type quickly enough:<br />
<br />
It's the effort. It's the lack thereof.  I must have sounded like a hypocrite;  it's not that I don't come to class  because I have obligations of a "rough"  nature, but because I simply don't try  hard enough to get to class. It's not  that my writing is bad because I don't  have the talent, or the skill, but  because I don't put much into honing  and respecting the same.<br />
<br />
I have not written a piece of merit in  a while. My poetry, it's all very  insipid, in a wide-scale context. I  haven't written a strong political or  even socio-political piece in a while -  perhaps, since <i>Dedication</i>. I need to  fix this. Vicky, the blood-bit won't  have to wait, I'll get it done, but it  is indubitably apparent that I must  write this piece I'm thinking of, this  definite reflection on something other  than the internal.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

CBarry recpt (6:14:45 PM): you ache  words lacey<br />
Cow S Nortle (6:14:54 PM): i do indeed<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
For a poem to illustrate it:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>The partial muse has from my earliest  hours<br />
     Smiled on the rugged path I'm  doom'd to tread,<br />
And still with sportive hand has  snatch'd wild flowers,<br />
     To weave fantastic garlands for my  head:<br />
But far, far happier is the lot of  those<br />
     Who never learn'd her dear  delusive art;<br />
Which, while it decks the dead with  many a rose,<br />
     Reserves the thorn to fester in  the heart.<br />
For still she bids soft Pity's melting  eye<br />
     Stream o'er the ills she knows not  to remove,<br />
Points every pang, and deepens every  sigh<br />
     Of mourning Friendship, or unhappy  Love,<br />
Ah! then, how dear the Muse's favours  cost,<br />
<b>If those paint sorrow best --- who feel  it most!</b><br />

I just want to be in a place where  people don't have to fake everything,  and where people don't have to be so  ... I won't say that out of respect.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ What on earth, then, is this for?<br />
<br />
I should find another way; you are all  liars.<br />
<br />
Roughly:<br />
<br />
<i>We are not too old for this medium.  These faces - shades and shadows of  human emotion - not only serve to bond  us with our God, are also enough to  mask the friends whom we wish  understood. Our papers, then, are  littlered with color in some spectrum  we cannot, or will not, see. Taken into  consideration, a ramshackle history we  cannot account for; what are these  memories? Our ability and oropensation  for the ever-lasting constant of  change: the Barrachus of our youth, and  the David to the Goliath of our time;  we do die.</i><br />
<br />
And before that and thereafter, much in  the same way; though I do not believe  that it'll precisely give way to the  meaning attempted to extrapolate, it  puts me at ease, as the start is a new  way to the beginning.<br />
<br />
But my Lord, what a pack full of  deceitfuls. If you don't get it, why  don't you ever say so? I hate it,  anymore, when someone tells me  something I wrote is good. I don't  believe it any more! Someone can fawn  and fall over whatever I say and then  later confide that they haven't the  faintest idea of what I am trying to  talk about!<br />
<br />
Maybe that doesn't matter.<br />
<br />
But I think it might, quite a bit.<br />
<br />
<br />
Should I move to prose?<br />
<br />
<br />
Better to master one before moving to  the other - I don't think I'll ever  master anything. <br />
<br />
Maybe.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Uncharacteristically long post:<br />
<br />
I was looking through my favorites, and  I realized that I don't really feel for  a lot of them now. My tastes have  somehow changed. I still like them, but  I don't feel the same way about them. I  think I'll browse DA later and leave a  mess of comments and possibly +fav's  laying about.<br />
<br />
Also: don't say this often, but thanks  for all y'all who have me on your  DevWatch and who go through my gallery  from time to time. I'm glad that what I  write is enjoyed.<br />
<br />
Note: If you want me to look through  your gallery for any reason, or  something else, let me know.<br />
<br />
Oh, and that <a href="http://tk-nvme.deviantart.com/journal/4177780/">song</a>, yea, I'll note ya'll  with it, those of you who commented.  One of you who commented: I already  showed it to you. It was for you! Goof.  Remember, we were talking about the  idea? How else would I have thought  about it? I'll send it to you anyway.<br />
<br />
Aside from this, special note to ~<a href="http://justb.deviantart.com/">justb</a> : Yea, I'm rewriting the S.B. piece,  but since I'm going with this certain  concept, it's taking me forever. And I  didn't forget about that other little  side project... Once again,  conceptualization done right and all...  I'm on it, mang. <3<br />
<br />
<br />
That's about it. Leave any other notes  at the door.<br /><br /> ]]></description>
