Lj Idol week 26- Sated
I lay back on the cheap motel sheet, coarse and spotted, and bring my hands up to my head ( Read more... ) -
Lj idol Week 25- Cesspool
Oh, God, this is it. This is it, I'm drowning. It's all over...
"PAULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYY"
I can't even shout up to him, I can hear him, but there's no way he'd hear me with all of this shit rushing past between us. This is all my fault, I shouldn't have traded shifts, I knew I wasn't ready for the night raid, and yet, I wanted ( Read more... ) -
LJ Idol: Week 24
This is supposed to be awkward, right? I’m not sure, as I haven’t gone on many dates myself. From the look of it, he hasn’t either. The Jim who is in the car with me now is not the same Jim who jokes around with me in Chemistry class. He seems serious tonight, or at least he’s attempting to be serious and gentlemanly. It’s coming off as sheer ( Read more... ) -
Lj Idol Week 23 : The Weak Force
I saw you today at the market, smelling tomatoes and reaching for limes. The woman beside you, brown and alive with the glow radiating from her middle, looked content.

I was born to a woman incapable of being a mother, a woman so caught up in her own demons she failed to realize how screwed up the children she had bore would become without her around. I spent 26 years believing I was someone impossible to ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
We have always been a house full of animals- to say I have a soft spot for cats and dogs, turtles and mice is an understatement. There is just no part of myself that will allow me to see an animal in need and not help. We lost multiple animals in the last few years; two had a genetic kidney disorder, one hit by a car. We were a family of 6 for the ( Read more... ) -
LJ Idol, Week 19 "Et Tu, Brute?"
His hands were what I loved the most, rugged and large. They were what drew me to him in the first place, sitting across from him at a bar, watching him watching the band. His fingers drummed against the sticky marble, and a tattoo was barely legible across each knuckle ( Read more... ) -
