What I Have Going

When I die, let it be written on my tombstone, "Above everything else, she was a good friend."

Love you.
Mean it.

Feel Good About Yourself!

I freaking love this.

Oh, btw, strong language is used in this video. May not be suitable for all ages/religions.

Love you.

Let the Poets Cry Themselves to Sleep

Maybe it has something to do with me reading lots of H.P. Lovecraft lately or listening to Mozart's Requiem Mass in D minor but I find myself in a morbid melancholy, the kind that makes me want to create something tragic yet beautiful.

But this world deserves a better kind of beauty than that.
And I'm afraid I'm not qualified.

So find your own goddamn beauty. I'm going to bed.

Love you.
Mean it.

Write Me a Tragedy

Love you.
Mean it.

An Apology.

Love you.

New Plan O' Action

"Walk tall, kick ass,...love music, and never forget you come from a long line of truth seekers, lovers, and warriors."

-Hunter S. Thompson

New Plan of Action

"Be so good at what you do that they can't ignore you."

-from the film 

Miss Representation

It Happens.

Damnit, I fell in love again.

Feeling Generally Pathetic (AKA Human)

"What passes for hip cynical transcendence of sentiment is really some kind of fear of being really human, since to be really human [...] is probably to be unavoidably sentimental and naive and goo-prone and generally pathetic."

-David Foster Wallace


Love you.
Mean it.

It's overrated.

"I have a lot of growing up to do. I realized that the other day while I was sitting in my fort."

I Don't Want To Play Anymore

"Have you ever been in love? Horrible, isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up you heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all of these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore."

-Neil Gaiman

Rejection Letter #1

"Ambition, I've found, can lead only to failure. I do not read the reviews. No, I am not [writing] for you."

Happy Halloween

"The 3 types of terror: The Gross-out: the sight of a severed head tumbling down a flight of stairs, it's when the lights go out and something green and slimy splatters against your arm. The Horror: the unnatural, spiders the size of bears, the dead waking up and walking around, it's when the lights go out and something with claws grabs you by the arm. And the last and worse one: Terror, when you come home and notice everything you own had been taken away and replaced by an exact substitute. It's when the lights go out and you feel something behind you, you hear it, you feel its breath against your ear, but when you turn around, there's nothing there..."

-Stephen King

Stuck Between Master and Tyrant

"Writing is an adventure. To begin with, it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public."

-Winston Churchill

Sanest Man Alive

"If you don't stick to your values when they're being tested, they're not values--they're hobbies."

-Jon Stewart

(aka my hero)

Love you.

Why Yes, I Am Miserable.

So I'm sick.

I have a rather irritating cold that is making me miserable. And to add to my misery, it's fall break. So instead of enjoying my time away from the stress of school and work, I get to be in bed, sneezing, coughing, and generally hating life.

The only up side to this whole thing is I might be able to get more writing done than I have in a while. With nothing else to do & being confined to either my bed or the couch, my laptop will be a source of sanity for me. No promises though.

Love you.
*cough cough*

This Is War

"You can approach the act of writing with nervousness, excitement, hopefulness, or even despair -- the sense that you can never completely put on the page what's in your mind and heart. You can come to the act with your fists clenched and your eyes narrowed, ready to kick ass and take down names. You can come to it because you want a girl to marry you or because you want to change the world. Come to it any way but lightly. Let me say it again: you must not come lightly to the blank page."

-Stephen King

Rip Van Winkle

I can't seem to write anything today.

Must be due to the fact I slept for 14 hours straight last night.

It sure isn't from lack of ideas. I have about four things I really want to write about. I just can't seem to get it all to come together and work.

Maybe tomorrow will be better, after I get a normal amount of sleep.

Love you.
Mean it.

I'm Glad I Woke Up Today

"Tomorrow may be hell, but today was a good writing day, and on the good writing days nothing else matters."

-Neil Gaiman
