It's sweet when people are not the greatest. If you couldn't tell, that was sarcasm.
But then you have wonderful people, like MC, who remind you why you're here and how strong you really are.
No matter what, my art tarts get me through.
When everyone else doesn't give a shit, you girls do.
That means more to me than anything in the world.

Today was a beautiful day. I skyped with Anto all the way from Europe! And I got the job at Toyota! And I went shopping with MC and bought a new shirt. And tonight we are going for drinks and gonna play Sex and the City to those other bitches.
So stoked.

Love my life <3

Going to shows.
Collecting nostalgia.
Doing makeup.
Teasing hair.
Buying shoes.
Drinking Keiths.
Drinking Jacks.
Avoiding phone calls.
Sending texts.
Laughing.
Loving.
Having hobbies like this.

day nineteen: a talent of mine

I play piano. I've been playing since I was eight years old. I still have my first keyboard. For a very long time, books and my piano were my best friends.
I'm not very good because I don't practice anymore. I don't have a piano where I live now. But one day I would very much like to take it up again and spend time playing my heart out.

day eighteen: fancy tickler

You leave today for six weeks.
You're afraid to fly, and you're clutching the beads I gave you (to keep you safe) right now.
I feel your hands on my heart.
It's a nice feeling for once.

People tell me I shouldn't wait for you.
People tell me I should wait for you.
People tell me to stop worrying.
People tell me to worry all the time because things happen so easily.

My heart tells me to trust that whatever happens, is meant to happen.

So, here's to trust.
Here's to distance.
Here's to the safety and vulnerability in falling completely.

I'll miss you.

once.


You said you loved me more than anyone else could ever know. But now you're leaving, can't wait to strive to work this out. And I've never been one to brag.
The nights get lonely, and all I have left is a memory of you. I tried to say this but now there's nothing left for me to do. And I've never been one to brag.
Please don't go. Just stay. I watched with tears in my eyes as you walked away. Miss your voice, and your touch. And if I told you I loved you, could that be enough?
An awkward silence. It's been too long since I've heard from you. And I lay sleepless, knowing that my heart still belongs to you. And I've never been one to brag.
Please don't go. Just stay. I watched with tears in my eyes as you walked away. Miss your voice, and your touch. And if I told you I loved you, could that be enough?
Please don't go. Just stay. I watched with tears in my eyes as you walked away. Miss your voice, and your touch. And if I told you I loved you, could that be enough?
And tonight, I'll stay home and miss you more than you'll ever know.

day seventeen: an art piece


Art is my life and it is impossible for me to have just one favourite piece.
This is one OF my favourites. It's beautiful. It's satirical. It opens up your eyes and makes you see.
It says, do not be blind to the world. Do not sleep and close your eyes to everything out there. If you do, the evil will creep up on you. And one day, you will not know where the time has gone, or where your morals have gone. You will be fully consumed because you have been so blind to the darkness consuming you.
Wake up. Wake up. Keep your morals. Be informed. Be smart.
Feel.

day sixteen: a song that makes me cry (or nearly)

A song that makes me cry (or nearly)...
Lately it is If It Means A Lot To You by A Day To Remember.
Because "we knew it'd happen eventually."
But mostly because you're leaving, and I really don't want you to, and who knows if we're exclusive, and I have to talk to you about that, and I'm nervous that you're going to go away and meet someone so amazing that you'll just forget about me, and I'm sad that I'm going to miss you so fucking much.
This song encapsulates that completely.

Hey darling. I hope you're good tonight.
And I know you don't feel right when I'm leaving.
Yeah, I want it, but no, I don't need it.
Tell me something sweet to get me by.
'Cause I can't come back home til they're singin'
La, la la la, la la la.
Til everyone is singin'.
If you can wait til I get home,
Then I swear to you that we can make this last.
(La la la)
If you can wait til I get home,
Then I swear come tomorrow, this will all be in the past.
It might be for the best.
Hey sweetie, I need you here tonight.
And I know that you don't wanna be leaving.
Yeah, you want it but I can't help it.
I just feel complete when you're by my side.
But I know you can't come home til they're singin'
La, la la la, la la la.
Til everyone is singin'.
La, la la la, la la la.
If you can wait til I get home,
Then I swear to you that we can make this last.
(La la la)
If you can wait til I get home,
Then I swear come tomorrow, this will all be in our past.
It might for the best.
You know you can't give me what I need.
And even though you mean so much to me,
I can wait through everything.
(Is this really happening?)
I swear I'll never be happy again.
And don't you dare say we can just be friends.
I'm not some boy that you can sway.
We knew it'd happen eventually.
La, la la la, la la la.
Now everbody's singin'
La, la la la, la la la.
Now everybody's singin'
(If you can wait til I get home)
La, la la la, la la la.
Now everybody's singin'
(Then I swear we can make this last)
La, la la la, la la la
Now everybody's singin'.
If you can wait til I get home,
Then I swear we can make this last.

I don't know what a "fanfic" is.

Tuesday, April 6, 2010

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

day eight: sad/angry photo



This makes me sad and angry at the same time. How could you be so inconsiderate? It's not just your life you're taking a chance on, it's every single other person's lives out there on the streets. Pedestrians. Motorists. And think about their families. Think about if they died or got hurt and you didn't. What if you walked away without a scratch, and they were there on the side of the road dying? Would that be sobering enough for you?
I get so upset whenever I hear about ANYONE driving intoxicated. It's not just alcohol. It's drugs too. It's being tired. It's being CARELESS. Life is so precious, and although accidents happen, hitting someone with your car because you're impaired should not have to be an accident. It is something completely 100% avoidable, and yet people still continue to do it.
Please, please, please. If you're driving, don't drink. Don't do drugs. Don't drive when you're very tired. It's something you can avoid. Spend the extra money and spring for the bus or a cab. If an extra $20 means potentially saving a life, that $20 becomes priceless.
