tired and wired, we ruin too easy

Is it November yet? Specifically mid-to-late November?
No. Damn.
Okay, guess I’ll make another button bouquet to pass the time away, while I’m waiting for my canvas to dry and the pie to cool.

I figure by the time this year is up, between work and keeping up with social activities, I will have crafted myself into oblivion [...]

it was perfect till…he came along and wrecked it

Her: “{insert my full name}!”
Me: “What?”
Her: “I can’t believe you just said that. When did this happen?”
Me: “Nothing happened, just thoughts, lofty thoughts…you know.”
Her: “Oh, I do…they are dangerous.”
Me: “Don’t tell anyone, but check your email.”
(waits)
Her: *shrieks into phone* “Wow. You’ve changed. What happened to the plan?”
Me: “I’m in it currently…the end results may have [...]

where the long shadows grow

I was climbing through the hole in the chain link fence at the Boy’s apartment, heading to A&P, listening to some new tunes when I had a weird deja vu moment…
Rewind two and a half years ago, its sometime after midnight on my last night in my apartment in Kingston. Ali, Annie and I are [...]

at war with the sun

I cannot believe that I’ve been here six months. This year seems to be flying by at lightening speed. It was just a year ago this week that I started saying my goodbyes in Newcastle, and was typing away at my dissertation from my leaky flat. If you had told me then I’d be sitting [...]

la la la…la lo

I’ve had ‘Ask’ by The Smiths lodged in my head for a week now.
Because if it’s not Love
Then it’s the bomb, the bomb, the bomb,
the bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb
That will bring us together
There are worse things to get stuck in ones head so I shouldn’t complain. Despite the fact its making me [...]

i saw your face before it changed

I finished a painting, and framed various photos today.
I take an abundant amount of photographs, I do. I however, do not develop them like I used to. Today I made an attempt to change that.
While I was away in the big city I even bought picture frames for the occasion. Now, my walls are lined [...]

nitrocellulose

the smell burns the inside of my nose, yet i steady my hand so the calligraphy pen can do its job.
my fingertips are drenched in black ink, i notice my nail polish is chipping off every finger except for my pinky’s. i make a mental note clean them up tonight. even while thinking that thought [...]

i had a smurf sled

I’m not going to write about the sad things in my life anymore. Frankly, my eyes can’t take it as they are too swollen from all the tears, and you don’t want to hear about it anyway. So I’m going to try and focus on other stuff.
Like have you noticed band names seem to be [...]

you can read me anything

everyone is talking about love this week.
from different parts of my life people are either; in love, dealing with broken love, or just general love goodness being spread through the waves.
i sit somewhere in the middle.
like the stew i made yesterday, i keep throwing things in the pot unsure of what will come out, but [...]

a heart I know by heart to walk me through this war

remember the old school Polaroid cameras?
my gran has one and i’m fairly certain she doesn’t own another camera, as all the pictures of hers i’ve ever seen or have taken have been with that old Polaroid.
i was cleaning my work office and stumbled across one today. no one is claiming it, so i’m claiming it. [...]
