When someone special touches your life, you try to keep them close by.  When things sour, you try to keep them as friends.  But where do we draw the line between trying to preserve the past and allowing ourselves to be fooled by those we used to love?  Is there a time, an exact moment, where you just sit back and say, "Oh, damn... they were totally ( Read more... )

I don't have the ability to write how frustrated I am right now.  My day has very quickly become one that I'd rather forget.
On that note.. FUCK YOU ALL!
Thankyou.

The wind coming off the ocean snapped the jacket around my waist.  For a winter's day, the air felt balmy as if the sea had just directed an exasperated sigh towards the shore.  It lifted my mood only slightly as I rounded the point to my destination- a cove hidden by bushland and rocks.  I dug my feet into the sand and stood there for a moment, ( Read more... )

This is what writers aim to avoid- superfluous adjective usage, verbosity and cliches.  I'm just doing this to get the descriptions off my chest so I can get back to the *real* writing.   Don't mind me.  You probably aren't even reading this anyway............

The smell of beer and hotdog wafted cozily around you.  Your shirt was pulling slightly ( Read more... )

I'm an emo!!!!  *cries*  I hate online journals!

I couldn't face the world
Without your hand placed firm behind me
I couldn't breathe alone
Without you nearby to remind me
I saw the clouds approaching
And you were there to soothe me
But in the darkened hours
Your hardened words now bruise me

I had lost myself completely
I was running cold and blind
And this sentence that you're speaking
Is a sentence that's ( Read more... )

I've got a crisis of conscience.  It's nothing SUPER bad, but it's bad enough to make me wonder if it's worth my while to do as I've been asked.  I don't want to tarnish my reputation as 'reliable' (though many seem to think my reputation is simply 'bitch') so it made me a little uncomfortable when my new boss asked me to be what is effectively a ( Read more... )

Give up and the goods just fall into your lap :D:D:D

The cold air closed around
The crowds walked by without a sound
Your eyes were fixed upon a girl
I wanted you to show
Just any sign to let me know
Where I stand in your world

But all of my emotions
Were nothing in the end
I can't make you feel the same way
I can't make your will bend
And I tried so hard to tell you
I tried to tell you all along
That you made ( Read more... )

Karen slid her backpack over her shoulder and moved to platform 5.  The cool underground breeze flicked her fringe across her face as tears welled in her eyes.  This is it. She stood and eyed a man at the next platform.  He was picking lint off his jacket and gave it his full attention.  He didn't look up once in the three minutes Karen was ( Read more... )
