Calm and in control part 1: Music be the food of chill
Today's post comes courtesy of a question from themikado:
Tell me about a space you go to when you need to feel calm and in control.
Music. Music can fill a space to make it safe and soothing, or it can create a space where there isn't one. I never travel without an mp3 player, it means that wherever you go, you can carry your happy place with you, just ( Read more... ) -
My most valuable possession
So, in response to my meme post earlier this week I got the following question the lovely rougebaiser
What is your most valuable possession, how did you come across it, and why is it so meaningful? :D
This was actually a really hard question, to get to the answer I thought: well if there was a fire, what would you go into the house to save? Assuming that pets ( Read more... ) -

The truth is I've found the topic this week hard and I realise now that it's because there is so much to communication, it is ( Read more... ) -

Big love to y'all -
LJ Idol Week 14 - The Place That Can Not Be
It feels like I'm choking. The words are there, constantly in my mouth; I can feel the shape of them around my tongue and on my lips, tumbling in my cheeks, but they wont come out. The kitchen is pale with the dying light of a spring afternoon, my little brother is watching cartoons in the living room and I'm wearing my hockey uniform, having a ( Read more... ) -
I feel dirty
So, thus far in lj idol I've resisted the urge to post asking for votes and technically I'm not posting now to do that, but I gotta admit I'm worried about the elimination this week. The same reason that I don't like asking for votes is the same reason I'm worried about going out this week: if i'm going to succeed or fail I want to do it on my own ( Read more... ) -
LJ idol Week 13
"You have been wronged, fair maiden, but fear not good will triumph!"
The woman looked at him incredulously
"Those who have cheated you will pay and you will have your silver returned to you"
"I just want to know where customer service is," the old woman replied "I bought a 3 pack of knickers, but there's only two in this one. I only want to ( Read more... ) -
LJ Idol Week 12
White starched sheets, the overpowering smell of cheap disinfectant mingled with the strong scent of pollen from the lilies my son, David, brought for me. Lilies, can you believe it? I'm not gone yet for pity's sake ( Read more... )
