Too safe.Just being realistic when you tell me I look really beautiful tonight Though I stepped closer when you put your hand on my hip while we giggled earlier in the day I know this is just chit-chat, polite exchange of familiarity that comes with being adults and children all at once – we are allowed. Again, when you ask me, what do you think, pointing to your hair, and when I can breathe without laughing, I say Actually, I quite like it – though I’m strange like that And you stop, cock your head to the side the way I’ve noticed you do, and say You are strange – by the way, did I tell you Too safe.

A Scrap of Writing 3My father was no ordinary man. I owe him my life.

There’s this old Death Cab for Cutie Song. It’s called What Sarah Said, and at one part of the song, the guy sings, he sings: Love is watching someone die.

I wasn’t there to watch my father die. I moved out 4 years before, when I went to college. Of course, there were visits home, but mostly, he came to me. Now I was standing in some hallway in some hospital, with nothing left of him except a brown paper bag with all the things they found on him when they pulled him from the wreck.

The Source of My AddictionJune 20th 10:21 pm
I don’t want to talk about what I did. What I took. Mainly because I’m ashamed and I don’t want anyone to know. But what bullshit that is. Everyone around me knows. But those who will read this probably won’t. So too keep a shred of self-respect I won’t say. But when I walked out of that room I should have been happy. My friends were dancing and music was playing. That girl was starring at me. My friends were smiling. Telling me to enjoy then asking what was wrong. Nothing was wrong. Why should something be wrong? I should be having the time of my life. It’s summer. I’m with m The Source of My Addiction

Winter spring-clean for a fresh start

Thu Jul 9, 2009, 4:31 AM

I've decided to start fresh over here, which seems apt since it was around this time last year that I joined devart. I think I'm going to be doing a lot more visual things, so I look forward to posting more stuff... And I want to be more involved in the community. So I've made some changes. Like deleting my old blog posts, changing some information, and once I've done it, changing my avatar.
I'd like to link to this devart account from my Wordpress blog so that I have a seperate space to keep my art and creative writing.

Excited to be a part of the devart world.
