Imagine for a moment, baking sugar cookies.  You know the kind you have to cut into different shapes, like a star for Christmas or an egg for Easter.  What if we thought of ourselves as the doe and the cookie cutter as the mold in which we must fit.  We must cut and shape ourselves into someone else, something unnatural to us.  Think ( Read more... )

            The heat that was filling the room was stifling, a kind of drowsy heat that made it unbearable to stay awake at nine thirty in the morning.  Ambrose sat still, his lithe chest rising and falling in a very peaceful fashion.  The heat had lulled him onto the edge of sleep and he was quickly losing the battle to stay awake through the ( Read more... )

Faith

Faithfulness…How do people express faithfulness in their daily lives?  Remember, you can’t define a word with that word.  So the response, ‘I am faithful to my partner’ doesn’t work, nor does ‘I am faithful to my commitments.’  I think not many people can define faithfulness without the word faith.  It’s too invisible, we need that word to be ( Read more... )

            Girls sure to talk a lot, no wonder guys get so annoyed.  I enjoy my time with my girl friends but I can’t constantly listen to girl talk, I just have to tune them out sometimes.  I wonder if that’s how a guy feels. And if so how often?  Does each sex have a certain breaking point?  For guys, I’m guessing, that if they are interested in ( Read more... )

            It’s funny how we never really grow out of being children, of our kiddish tendencies, fears and dreams.  It seems to me that our future selves are truly cemented when we are small, whether we like it or not.  Christmas Eve, I was almost three and my parents being very religious took me to the eleven o’clock candle light service at our ( Read more... )

            Today I was sitting in the doctor’s office, pretty boring really, but never the less, I noticed another woman looking at me.  Honestly, when other women stare at me, I get a bit unnerved.  I find it incredibly uncomfortable when women size me up.  What’s the deal with girls eyeing each other up? We are like predators in the wild, ( Read more... )

            Today I was thinking, what if you keep giving your all at something but you never seem to get anywhere?  It feels that way in my life right now.  It feels like loving something isn’t enough and being pretty good just isn’t the same as being very good or well practiced.  You have to come to except that maybe the talents you have been ( Read more... )

So this is a story still in progress, but I'm starting to really like it...its about a boy, who has an obsession with a girl he met in his dreams.

Ever Rest for Never After

Suicide Notes and Bullets

Hundreds of trees rolling past the window as the car sped up, watching my reflection in the glass wondering how long I could stay ( Read more... )

            The auditions continued as scheduled, ‘well sort of’, Caroline sighed.  ‘Because of that new girl, all of the time slots had been moved back by ten minutes, what a total spotlight hog.’  The blonde growled lowly, earning her a strange look from both Sarah and Dawn.  Caroline smiled at the girls next to her, subliminally telling them to ( Read more... )

            Clicking.  And clicking and clicking, the beautiful sound of designer shoes in the morning, Caroline sighed contentedly as she walked from her dorm room to the auditorium.  The walk was not very long but extremely time consuming, although she really did not totally understand why.  All she did was talk to everyone worth talking to, ( Read more... )
