“Humans are the only animal that blushes, laughs, has religion, wages war, and kisses with lips. So in a way, the more you kiss with lips, the more human you are.”

Hydriotaphia and The Garden of Cyrus and Sir Thomas Browne= Information Overload.

The only thing I am absolutely positive about my future is that if I ever have a kid (which I'm not sure about) and it's a girl (which I'm also not sure about, obviously) then she will be named Adelina. That name is the only thing I'm sure about.
I just thought that was weird. And sort of sad. But funny at the same time.

"The spider had legs like black licorice. I love licorice. The spider said,
"Come into my web. I am smarter and better. I will think for you. Stop thinking. I will take care of you."
So I went in. The blinding white was like snow. I love snow. I was happy. Soon I started to become numb from the cold, I didn't really mind. Something started happening though. All the white turned red. Like blood. I hate blood. I was scared, but I couldn't move.
I cried.
The spider laughed.

Monday, October 19, 2009

Maybe I should actually try and do this.

There is a serious lack of moral ethics in our society. There are few role models that we can look up to that promote an honest lifestyle as a successful one. Many people think only of themselves and use others in order to make themselves more accomplished.

As an individual, I propose smiling. Mother Theresa said, “Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.” Mother Theresa herself was a beautiful person, and I think that if more people took her words to heart, then the world would be a better place. Simple, starting with a smile. I wholly believe that everyone looks better when they smile. A simple facial expression can change lives. A smile is warm and inviting; friendly. If I smile at someone, maybe even a stranger, then there’s a chance that they may smile back. If they do, then I’ve changed their life, even if in the smallest of ways.

A smile may then lead to a conversation. Conversation is like breathing life into a friendship. Maybe my fellow smiler has had something weighing them down for awhile, maybe I can help them. In fact, I know that I can help them. Sometimes people are just looking for a willing ear. The art of listening is something that is being forgotten. People need to remember to simply listen to others, take in what they’re saying. It doesn’t matter if I can’t form an appropriate answer or I can’t sympathize with them, just listening is enough. In another case, if they don’t have anything on their shoulder, I can talk to them. Get it out, whatever it is that I’m keeping bottled up inside of me will be better out in the open, free, and breathing, not inside my soul, suffocating my heart. If neither of us have anything bothering us, or simply don’t feel like spilling, then share a story! Everyone loves a story, I know I do. I’ll tell my new friend about my favorite restaurant, the best book I’ve ever read, or my first kiss! They’ll be enraptured. In return, I must listen to their stories, although that’s not a very hard task to perform. Talking and listening, it’s like the inhaling and exhaling of friendship. Both completely necessary for changing the world, one smile at a time. At the end of our elaborate and friendly conversation, I’ll invite them to a party or dinner! There, they will smile and converse with my other friends and acquaintances, expanding their circle of love, all because of my simple smile.

Hopefully, these people will learn from my smile. Perhaps they will smile to a stranger on a street, start conversations, share stories, and make new friends. In this way I hope to extend kindness to different circles of love. It will extend to people’s friends, families, businesses, institutions. In this way we will all be connected in one way or another. They love that feeling of inclusiveness and will hopefully wish to spread it to the people that they pass, but never really see. We will be connected through our beliefs, and our friends. Our belief that a smile can change someone’s life by snowballing into friendships and fun memories! We will not want to hurt one another, because we know that being kind and listening is more rewarding than hurting. So I propose smiling, because I believe a simple smile can change the world into something beautiful.

It’s not that I literally think I’m a faerie. It’s just that I feel so different from most people. And this idea of a race living underground in caverns, spending all their days dancing and playing the fiddle and eating flowers and reciting poetry and sharing their dreams, that to me sounds much more real than the way people live in this world, hating and fighting and wanting and hurting."
— Francesca Lia Block

So basically I look at this and say "what's wrong with reading Harry Potter, Twilight, and other books? where's that category? like really. come on."

Reminder (to self):
Watch Big Fish and Princess Mononoke.

I'm roughly right.

Self-Portrait

i am short brown hair with sort of a bit of red thrown in their, relatively straight, skin like parchment, and at times like a lobster, blue eyes like the ocean, with long, dark, thick lashes, droopy left eye, really dark circles under the eyes, some veins there as well, don't forget the spattering of freckles, don't forget pimples, ears are lopsided, crooked nose, but then again it's a straight slope, horribly chipped teeth, but straight, long tongue, thought i'd throw that in there, pink lips, pretty thin, strong neck, but not thick, that'd be a little gross, broad shoulders, flabby-ish arms, more freckles, more veins, knobby wrists, palms are the vein-iest, i like it that way, sometimes bit finger nails, fine with that, small fingers, but i'd like to think long and strong, curvy tummy, b-cup, legs=tree trunks, skinny, skinny, skinny ankles, tiny, tiny, tiny feet, with a bit of a tattoo on the right

i am jeans and a tee shirt + a sweater/cardigan, belt (sometimes), studs (most always), and some flats. my classic outfit. i love it and am constantly reinforcing it at old navy.
i could always get dressed up, don't worry, i know how. and sometimes i love that too. i like lace. i like bows. i like sequins. i like heels. i like clutches. i like diamonds. i like tule.
but i'm in high school. maybe when i'm thirty, flirty, and thriving, i'll put on a ball gown and go to a cocktail party and put on a cocktail dress and go to a ball












this has so many typos it's freakin crazy


Geek is just another word for enthusiastic. As long as we keep loving stuff and remain unembarrassed by our enthusiasm, I think other people will feel the same way.

My back is definitely killing me from that damn Etude in Style.

Nightmare

"Mister Moon came down and said,
'Don't go to sleep inside your bed!
For if you do you'll fill with dread,
From all those monsters in your head!'

Dream

"Mister Moon came down and said,
'Go to sleep inside your bed!
For if you don't you will not wed,
that Prince Charming in your head!'

If you wake-up and find a white cat, it's me.




It is better to be roughly right than precisely wrong.

Friday, September 18, 2009

It's strange how in my mind I've loved so much. So many people. I've already met the love of my life one thousand times. I've already lost the love of my life nine hundred and ninety-nine times. We've lived happily ever after one thousand and two times. I've had foster parents. Abusive parents. Parents that are invisible. Parents that love me. Parents that I love. In my mind I've had best friends, the best. There for me, forever, loving me. I've had brothers, sisters, lovers, haters. In my mind I was persecuted during the Spanish Inquisition. In my mind I've been to the snowy streets of Moscow. I've traversed the Nile, twice. I've been to Hogwarts. For Narnia? Hell yes. I've witnessed French bureaucrats being smuggled across the Channel to safety during the Revolution. I was at the Battle of Ettinor, I saved it, not that I'd expect you to know what I'm talking about. I've built a cathedral, I've burnt it down. I've been stranded on islands more times than I can count. In my mind I've been to the edge of the world, and back.
In my mind.

In reality it's true that I love my parents, I love my brother, I love my friends.

But my mind is lying to me about almost everything I've seen of value.

And I'm totally fine with that.

There I go, lying again. The truth is it scares me to death. I've seen it. I've seen love, I've seen loss, I've seen adventure. It was beautiful.
Now I need to feel it, taste it, hear it, smell it. Live it.

I read notes.
I read palms.
I read letters.
I read faces.
I read stars.
I read colors.

Wednesday, September 16, 2009

Homework anyone? :P

"Ink stained sheets and starry skies,
Swollen fingers and bruising eyes.








Oh God, Oh man, Oh no, Another triangle sess, and you know what that means, Pokémon.


Finally he get's on the back of Hockalugi. That took a while. Idiot. Stupid. Retard.
I could definitely use some pants. Did that really just happen?
I'd have to say Slowking is my man. Really, I think I might be in love.

Oh we've been quite scrupulous, but being good guys is quite dupulous.
Is dupulous even a word?

Whatever. All I know is that Clash rhymes with Ash, and the only kid named Ash in the entire world, is Ash Ketchum. So, he is, of course, the chosen one.

But actually I think I'm going to keep playing this flute.
Because Lugia has telepathy. Well, he talks without moving his mouth, and it's sort of awesome.
I'm also pretty sure that Lugia is guido.



It's okay if you don't understand any of this.

One of these days I'm going to count and organize my books. I'm thinking around my birthday when I'll hopefully be getting a book stamp... :) 
It takes way too long to find Howl's Moving Castle and Sunwing and Midnight for Charlie Bones for my brother's outside reading. 
On a more exciting note, I found about twenty books that I thought were in my parent's room, but weren't. They were in my brother's room. Woah. Exciting. Needless to say now they're on my newly established second bookshelf! Yes, crazy sweet, I know. I transferred the books on my floor, the books doubling up on my other bookshelf, and the books under the flower vase on my table to this. So now I have all that space for new books! Oh geez, Barnes and Noble/Amazon need to watch out.
