A Sheet of Bounce A Day...

I received a chain email from my sister and it tells all the things a sheet of Bounce can do. Some of you may have already received it and know what I'm talking about, but for those of you who haven't received it, I'll take the liberty of posting it's uses.… Read full post »

Like A Bomb

Like a bomb
It all came out –
A fountain o’ blood
From old scars
Reopened for all the see –
Somehow, unknown,
They understand.

 


I'm in no state to be alive right now. This poem is only half the reason why... Read full post »

The Internet's Never Been So Hot

It's been summer here in Wisconsin the last couple days. I absolutely love it - especially since it hasn't been disgustingly humid. Except inside. It's awful inside. I actually got dizzy last night from the heat and felt sick this morning when I woke up. All the windows in the house… Read full post »

The Last Week

This is the last week my sister and I will be living together. We're both kinda sad, but I know we're both excited at the same time. It's been a short - what? - two years? Year and a half? Something like that... We hate having to share a room and… Read full post »

Chicago

Where to even begin?

Well, let me begin here: FUCK YOU, NATO. You chose a very inconvienent time to arrive. Luckily, though some places were closed due to your arrival, it wasn't enough to ruin our trip. Buuut ... still.

The Untouchable tour was pretty awesome. I mean, driving downtown Chicago… Read full post »

Good Choices

I woke up not wanting to wake up - like every other day this week. Hence why the ringtone I woke up to was "Fuck You Very Much" by Lilly Allen. (Good choice number one.)

I remembered why I don't walk barefoot and it's a good thing I had flip flops… Read full post »

Let The Good Times Roll

3 days of torture and suffering are over. Tomorrow is a half day, so no matter what I end up doing after school I shall be content. (Either I'm going out with Kenny and whoever else, or I'm coming straight home, eating and taking a nap. Both work for me.)

Tonight,… Read full post »

Damned

Flying with dark, tainted wings
Which rain cannot cleanse -
A soul forever damned.  Read full post »

Wasps

For those who know me, they know just how much I hate winter. I hate it with a fiery passion that should be hot enough to melt the snow - if only things worked that way. But I have killed 4 wasps in 4 days, however the one I killed today… Read full post »

My Mom

I'm not sentimental and not often nice. I find it difficult to find nice things about my parents - my mother, especially.

She acts like she's 5. Sometimes, a 5 year old is even more mature than she is. She worries and stresses and bitches about the tiniest things. Change is… Read full post »

Drivers

The last two days, people have been reminding me why I was terrified to start driving. I waited until last year to take drivers ed because I really had no desire to start driving. (I still don't have much desire to drive, so not having a car really isn't too horrible,… Read full post »

No More Steak

If I hear or see that word one more time, I am going to protest. I'm at my mother's every other week. Every week that I'm here, we have some sort of steak. EVERY. FUCKING. WEEK.

I was informed by my sister that we are having STEAK on Sunday for Mother's… Read full post »

White People Problems

White people problems number 1-50: Our skin color.

Let me tell you a story about a school with 98-99% white people.

Today we were assembled outside on the hill between our school and the highway for a mock-car crash. It was an absolutely GORGEOUS day out so I didn'tRead full post »

When it comes to politics, I'd rather not get too involved, thus lessening my knowledge for argument, but I think I know enough to choose a side. I choose no side, because being one extremist or the other just calls for catastrophe and lack of logic.

Sometimes, it's not what's best… Read full post »

Lonesome

Without a sound the moth leaves,
Flitting carelessly away - lonesome
While tears of sorrow fall like rain.

Our School Sign

Since before spring break, it has said when it was. Today, however, a classmate was assigned to change it, and now it says "Our teachers make a difference".

It's a good thing the sign doesn't say it's a "positive" difference, or it'd be lying - though, a difference they do make.… Read full post »

Devil's Lover (poem)

Night falls upon the earth
As the moon light my face,
A sacrifice to force I am
When owls awaken to my scent
And tear skin from my bone,
Painting the dirt canvas red
For I belong to the night
As the Devil’s sweet lover;
The owls finish their deed
And my remains burn bright –
The moon blackens with… Read full post »

Finally

I walked into the tattoo shop to make my appointment. Next Saturday was the plan. "Or did you wanna do it today? If you got half an hour, we can do it now." Me being a sucker for convience, "Yes! Let's do it."

And that's how I ended up with a… Read full post »

The Longest Week of my LIFE

We've all suffered through many long weeks, but I'm pretty sure this makes the top 3 for the longest. I was over this week by Tuesday morning, and every day seemed like a month in itself. Now it's Friday, I'm home and time is still crawling by. But before I know… Read full post »

You Don't Need to Bother

Bother by Stone Sour is probably the most depressing song ever and it's one of my favourites. It's how I feel, word for word, over half the time. Sad, maybe, but I've come to enjoy the suffering.

I really have no reason to feel... however it is that I feel. Nothing… Read full post »

Disasters

Why is it we set ourselves up for disaster? Even when we know the outcome won't be to our liking - or to anyone's, really - we continue with out actions. Why?

Do we not have enough time to react?

Do we not think before we begin?

Do we simply enjoy… Read full post »

THOSE Days

Those days when you aniticipate your speech to be the worst part.

Those days  when that speech is the best part.

Those days  when you don't have any food to take for lunch.

Those days  when everyone is just throwing shit at you - intentionally or not.

Those days  wh… Read full post »

The Impossible

"Unsinkable ships sink,
Unbreakable walls break,
Sometimes the things you think would never happen,
Happen just like that.

Unbendable steel bends
If the fury of the wind is unstoppable,
I've learned to never underestimate
The impossible."

This song couldn't be a better fit right now, for everything.

Walls

These four walls surround me,
I feel them closing in
And I can’t escape the sickness inside;
Nothing now can make me better.

These four walls surround me,
I see the cracks like broken glass,
The sickness seeps in,
Suffocating’s the only cure now.

These four walls surround me,
I see your face,

Fashion: A Subtle Form of Conformity

Fashion is not what you like, but what others like. Forget self-expression. Who you are is not who society wants, so you must mold yourself, lie to yourself and listen to what others like so you know what you should like, even if you really don’t like it. Fashion is all… Read full post »
