A Little About Me

What I believe does not matter, only that I contribute and continue to write as best I can. My talent is mediocre at best, and even on my best days I wish I could just delete all that I've written. But then I would lose all of the work I'd thought just a moment ago was priceless. Writing is priceless, it has no cost, and just about anyone can write. However, it's the writers that shock us, that cling to our minds after days, weeks, months, and possibly years that are truly the best. It could have been a fifty word essay about an animal friend, or even an imaginary friend, as long as it stuck with you. I don't believe in one book being better than the next, or having a list of best and worst books on earth, but I do know when I like or love a good story. I easily give praise, and I have no qualms with reading yaoi or yuri, not as much the latter since I am a girl, but writing is an art form, one that not many partake in. Writing is a passion as well as an occupation in life, expressing ones self can come from many mediums, but writing for me is like taking a deep breath of air after years of breathing in pollution. Take a deep breath readers, and believe that what you write will forever have an impact on one or many souls out there. I certainly do.

Quotes:

Tears fall, down your face
The taste, is something new
Something that
I know moving on is,
Easiest when I am around you. -Paper Heart by The All American Rejects

Cup your mouth to compress the sound,
Skinny dipping with the kids from a nearby town.
And everything that I said was true,
As the flashes blinded us in the photobooth.
Well, I lost track, and then those words were said.
You took the wheel and you steered us into my bed.
Soon we woke and I walked you home,
And it was pretty clear that it was hardly love. -Photobooth by Death Cab For Cutie

So one last touch and then you'll go
And we'll pretend that it meant something so much more
But it was vile, and it was cheap
And you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me
Yeah you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me.-Tiny Vessels by Death Cab For Cutie

If you were a wink, I'd be a nod
If you were a seed, well I'd be a pod.
If you were the floor, I'd wanna be the rug
And if you were a kiss, I know I'd be a hug. -All I Want Is You by Barry Louis Polisar

Everything's falling, and I am included in that
Oh, how I try to be just okay
Yeah, but all I ever really wanted
Was a little piece of you. -Be Be Your Love by Rachel Yamagata

Please don't leave me standing with my heart in my hand
I can't last here
I'm breaking down, and no one understands why I got here
But I knew from the very first moment that I met you
You'd be the one. -Meet Me By The Water by Rachel Yamagata

If your radio didn't work, and your friends all ran away
Would you let yourself fall in love, if only for one day?
Are you one of the ones who decides for a song,
Would you let me touch your face?
If I decided not to side at all could I be the empty space? -Hiding Place by Serena Ryder

now you're alone, but tomorrow's limitless
you taught me
the gentleness hidden in the night. -Sekai No Yakusoku/The Promise of the World by Baishou Chieko

I heed not that my earthly lot

Hath - little of Earth in it

That years of love have been forgot

In the hatred of a minute

:- I mourn not that the desolate

Are happier, sweet, than I,

But that you sorrow for my fate

Who am a passerby -Edgar Allen Poe

Thou wouldst be loved?- then let thy heart

From its present pathway part not!

Being everything which now thou art,

Be nothing which thou art not.

So with the world thy gentle ways,

Thy grace, they more than beauty,

Shall be an endless theme of praise,

And love - a simple duty -Edgar Allen Poe

Deep in my dungeon

I welcome you here

Deep in my dungeon

I worship your fear

Deep in my dungeon,

I dwell.

I do not know

If I wish you well.

Deep in my dungeon

I welcome you here

Deep in my dungeon

I worship your fear

Deep in my dungeon,

I dwell.

A bloody kiss

from the wishing well. -Old prison rhyme (The Executioner's Song by Norman Mailer)

In this world the man holds the higher

Position, and the woman follows him.

That's the way it should be. I must help and

support him but not let him know.

That is woman's virtue: to be strong on

the inside but not let it show. -Tokyo Geisha

Once you realize what a joke everything is, being the Comedian is the only thing that makes sense. -The Comedian from Watchmen

A live body and a dead body contain the same number of particles. Structurally, there's no discernible difference. Life and death are unquantifiable abstracts. Why should I be concerned? -Dr Manhattan from Watchmen

We're all puppets, Laurie. I'm just a puppet who can see the strings. -Dr Manhattan from Watchmen

She says I am like a god now, I tell her I don't think there is a god, and if there is I'm nothing like him. -Dr Manhattan from Watchmen

You think that I am locked in here with all of you, but the truth is that you are all locked in here with me. -Rorschach from Watchmen

Soon there will be war. Millions will burn. Millions will perish in sickness and misery. Why does one death matter against so many? Because there is good and there is evil, and evil must be punished. Even in the face of Armageddon I shall not compromise in this. But there are so many deserving of retribution ... and there is so little time. -Rorschach from Watchmen

The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save us!"... and I'll look down and whisper "No." They had a choice, all of them. They could have followed in the footsteps of good men like my father or President Truman. Decent men who believed in a day's work for a day's pay. Instead they followed the droppings of lechers and communists and didn't realize that the trail led over a precipice until it was too late. Don't tell me they didn't have a choice. Now the whole world stands on the brink, staring down into bloody Hell, all those liberals and intellectuals and smooth-talkers... and all of a sudden nobody can't think of anything to say. -Rorschach from Watchmen

Human beings are ugly, but even so, human life is beautiful. -Unknown

Mummy...Johnny brought a gun to school
He told his friends that it was cool
And when he pulled the trigger back
It shot with a great crack
Mummy I was a good girl
I did what I was told
I went to school, I got straight A's, I even got the gold
But mummy when I went to school that day, I never said goodbye
I'm sorry mummy I had to go, but mommy please don't cry
When Johnny shot the gun he hit me and another
And all because he got the gun from his older brother
Mummy please tell daddy that I love him very much
And please tell Chris, my boyfriend, that it wasn't just a crush
And tell my little sister that she is the only one now
And tell my dear sweet grandmother that I'll be waiting for her now
And tell my wonderful friends that they were always the best
Mummy I'm not the first I'm no better than the rest
Mummy tell my teachers I won't show up for class
And never to forget this and please don't let this pass
Mummy why'd it have to be me no one deserves this
Mummy warn the others, mummy I left without a kiss
And mummy tell the doctors I know they really did try
I think I even saw a doctor trying not to cry
Mummy I'm slowly dying with a bullet in my chest
But mummy please remember I'm in heaven with the rest
Mummy I ran as fast as I could when I heard that crack
Mummy listen to me if you would
I wanted to go to college
I wanted to try things that were new
I guess I'm not going with daddy
On that trip to the new zoo
I wanted to get married
I wanted to have a kid
I wanted to be an actress
Mummy I wanted to live
But mummy I must go now
The time is getting late
Mummy tell my Chris
I'm sorry but I had to cancel the date
I love you mummy I always have
I know you know it's true
Mummy all I wanted to say is "mummy I love you"
In memory of the Columbian students that were lost
Please if you would
Pass this around
I'd be happy if you could
Don't smash this on the ground
If you pass this on
Maybe people will cry
Just keep this in heart
For the people that didn't get to say "goodbye"
