Moar Ramblings: Writing and a Song
I think my big hangup, creatively speaking, has been my total failure to complete a single project that wasn't school related over the past six or so years. I'm thinking maybe I have some mental blocks going on, preventing me from pursuing the bigger projects (like my comic and stories) that I'd love to fulfill. So maybe I need to break these ( Read more... ) -

The Story
On Sunday May 20th, I woke up and realized that my Great Dane, Annabelle, hadn't come in for her morning kisses like usual. As soon as my boyfriend and I start talking, we're usually joined by my giant dog with tail wagging and kisses to the face as she climbs ( Read more... ) -
Bittersweet Chocolates
It's been a blast, my dear fellow LJ Idolers. I would have liked to stick around to the very end, see when I was voted off, but alas - not this season. :) Reading through everyone's work these past several months has been the equivalent of running through a literary chocolate shop with free samples *everywhere.* All of you bring something special ( Read more... ) -
LJ Idol, Topic 22: "The Straw That Stirs the Drink"
In the beginning, before mortals and the madness that sprang from their dreams, desolate in the depthless eternity of oceans vast and viridian, there lay the bulk of a god yet unformed. Around Its dark mass churned currents teeming with antediluvian precursors to life, which were caught by Its pebbly beginnings of a body, as moss on the moisture of ( Read more... ) -
Moar Dreams!
This time, I am on a beach with dozens of people my own age. I catch a glimpse of my reflection: plain brown hair, but nicely sculpted features. Delicate. Close to Keira Knightly, a bit. I think we're all students because once we're done wandering up and down the boardwalk, we go into a cramped trailer and have to take a math exam. I almost miss ( Read more... ) -
LJ Idol, Topic 21: "Bridge"
"Hello." Angela stood in front of the camera, her stance balanced evenly and lips cutting a stern swath through her otherwise well-sculptured face. "You're probably wondering what's going on. In theory, that's normal. But, in theory, this is impossible, so it's really all conjecture."

LJ Idol, Topic 20: "Open Topic"
One of my favourite goals to pursue is the idea of living my life with no regrets. I am quite enamored of the notion that I could own every decision I make, as well as the consequences, and still say that I would not change it. It's a lofty, almost laughably difficult aspiration, to be sure, and a razor-thin line to walk, but I've followed it ( Read more... ) -
LJ Idol, Topic 19: "Et tu, Brute?"
Some have said that Death was a river, a tunnel, or a bridge. They said that Death was a path to whatever came after life, be it pleasure, pain, or oblivion. It was a transition. Jamie didn't know who was right, yet. One thing everyone had neglected to spin in their tales was how lonely she would feel, having left everyone else behind. For Jamie, ( Read more... ) -
Rec list!
Super special awesome recommendation list! Ordinarily I'd do a little bit on what I loved about them, but these are so fantastic I think they'll stand on their own. Obviously I loved many, many more than these, but they shone particularly brightly in this group of entries, for me ( Read more... ) -
LJ Idol, Topic 18: "Iamthesea"
The blazing summer sky skittered across the slate blue waves of the ocean as they crashed against the sandy Delaware beach. Up and down the stretch of land were multicolored beach towels, suits, and umbrellas. So many people, so relaxed and warm, and so unaware that they were in for a display of true greatness. With the patience of a saint, four- ( Read more... )
