“She doesn’t want love from me or anyone. She doesn’t have it to give in return. She doesn’t believe in love. She is afraid to believe in it and the demands that come with it. She wants only undemanding congeniality, only relationships that require less than lip service to be sustained.”

Hey you.
Yeah.
You.
I’m talkin’ a you.

Precious you.
Precious because you’re precious to me
And I hope I’m
Precious
To you.
I wanna talk.
I wanna talk with you
About…
A lot of things
I wanna talk about who we are
What we’re becoming
And maybe
Most
Most of all
Where the two of us
Are going.

See this scar?
It reminds me of you-
That one time
You ‘n’ me
Went out
Along that path
Wastin’ time
Laughing
Hanging out.
I never even noticed it
Rubbed raw
Till after
I was left
On my own.

I don’t mind it much
Not really at least-
It’s hard to spot
The little scar on my
Long, toned, supple legs
Is pretty small, so it’s hard to find, and even harder to keep track of.

That was really pompous, wasn’t it?
I’m not like that.

Am I?

Maybe I am.
I don’t know

I have another scar, one that’s much harder to see
Even when I point it out.
I was incredulous-
One moment I was feeling just a little under the weather
And the next thing I knew
There was blood
Everywhere…

I couldn’t breathe for minutes afterwards
But I
Forced
Myself to walk away
From the situation.
I was so
Alone.

Terribly alone.

It took days for it to scab over,
But for months it was still so agonizingly sensitive, still so ready to tear open again.
It did finally heal
Into a scar though eventually
And it doesn’t really hurt anymore.
I just remember the bitter pain.
It’s behind me now.

But this one I got when a box bit me.
That was a long time ago
When things were different.
I didn’t know you then,
Not really , atleast.
You were off,
Playin’ with the band.

But I knew him.
I loved him, and he loved me, but things were
DIFFERENT.
Different
Between me ‘n’ him,
Between you ‘n’ him.

Everything’s different.

Things were more volatile… unstable,
But safe.
Despite it all, it was safe, it just wasn’t happy.
It was lonely.

I was so terribly alone.

I think…
No, I’m pretty sure.
I KNOW
You do a better job at loving me than he did,
Because now

Things are better.
And when things are better, that’s a good thing, right?
I hope so,
Because I’m depending on it.

Maybe I shouldn’t though.
Maybe I’m depending too much.
Maybe I need to stand
On my own.

On my onw
Pretending you’re beside me
All alone, I’ll walk with you till moring
In the darkness,
These trees are filled with monling
And all I know is that
I love you
And that I never want to change.

But save for change…
I wouldn’t be here now…
With you.
So maybe…

Since I was okay before…

I’ll be okay
Afterwards.

Yeah…
I bet so.

Cuz I’d better be.
I don’t figure I’ll have you for the rest of my life.
Its just one of those things
That happen
You know?
It’s hard to stay connected
Sometimes.

It makes me wonder…
Just where we are…
Going to be
Where…
I’m headed.

It’s a big, scary thought.

We’re about to gaduate.
We’re about to get sucked intoa huge new world
Wether we like it or not.
I don’t know if that’s a good thing.

See, this way,
I-we
are out there.
There’s no procrastinating it, no missing the deadline,
It’s just
BAM!
And it’s done.
You can’t miss it

But what about me?
Yeah, I won’t miss the slippery slide,
But I’m pretty sure
I’m gonna miss you.

Precious you.

I’m talkin’ a you.
You.
Yeah.
Hey you.

Hold me close, don’t let me forget

WTF?!?!

…

I seriously just about died when I heard those first couple strums… *smiles slightly* Did you pick up on the back up singers still singing ‘I will be your hero?’

Interesting, regardless. Out of curiousity, which line was I supposed to pick up on? I think I’ve grabbed one you didn’t even realize was there.

Galaxar totally looks like obama

The president and W. R. Monger are my heroes.

I know! holy crap, my favorite quote from the movie is, “commander, do something violent!”

That quote is seriously in my queue; I agree that it is that awesome. Any suggestions as to how I cite it?

“

Why don’t you take the easy way out? Why don’t you do what you always do - walk through it all with your eyes down. Give em what they want. Don’t rock the boat. They want some lies - give em some lies. What’s it to you? You ain’t got no PRINCIPLES or nothing… you don’t even know what a principle IS. You don’t give a toss. Why not TAKE IT EASY?

Yeh, why not do that?

Do it.

Yeh.

Ok.

Give em what they want.

Just do it.

Ok, so that’s what I’m gonna do.

So you know, I may be holding a New Year’s Eve party, but there’s some sticky strings still to figure out.

… Um…

Hello again, tumblr, and everyone else who decides to read you…

Well…

Hello.

It’s only when want to say something that I realize how little I have to say. Sad- I just ripped my ripped pants. Thanks again for these Bai: I love them so much!!

So I haven’t been up to much aside from two of my three major projects. I finished the first one and just have to deliver it now, and the second I’m torn between attractive black and suitablepurple. Any suggestions folks? (Sorry I really can’t give you much more detail than that- I want to kinda keep it a secret until I can finish it. Bai, I think I showed it to you whilst you where over here; Cream Soda, I know you’ve seen it-made mucho progress since. Sewed all nine scarves together.)

Really, I think that’s about it… I’ve found I can sing (sorta), and that doing the dishes calms me down. Who’da thought?

Ellie: You're on dA!? I'd never have thought.

Ellie: You're on dA!? I'd never have thought.

CraftMaster: How so?

Ellie: Dunno. It just never occured to me that it woud be a site you would frequent. You never seemed like that sort of a creative person to me.

CraftMaster: Is that a challenge?

Ellie: If you want to take it that way. What sort of a person do you want to be perceved as?

CraftMaster: Excellent.

Ellie: That's very vauge. Define your definition of excellent.

CraftMaster: Even better. Very X 3000 good

Ellie: ... Best of luck with that then.

CraftMaster: You disagree?

Ellie: No, I'm just wishing you luck. To me, it seems like you're going to desperately need it.

CraftMaster: For what?

Ellie: to be perceved as excellent in the way you describe it. It's like... saying that you want to be a animal. It's kinda hard to ever figure out just what it would take to turm you into an animal if we never knew just what animal you want to be... No, that was not at all what I was trying to say. it like...

CraftMaster: A squid.

Ellie: Excellence is a squid.

No. though that is a notion... !! It's like when Carly and I came in for ice cream. Neither of us could really make up our minds for a while, so it was difficult for you to serve us. We weren't giving you enough information, we didn't have a clear goal. That's kinda what your whole excellence thing sounds like to me.

CraftMaster: Excellent.

Ellie: ...hara?

CraftMaster: Interpret away.

Ellie: alright.

that’s the second camera that’s fallen apart in my hands in as many months. The big deal...

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 14:02:00 -0700

that’s the second camera that’s fallen apart in my hands in as many months. The big deal is that they’re both SRLs, and were the best cameras the staff had to work with. Now we’ve just got Megan’s personal D-SLR, my bridge, whatever this Lumix is and a handful of purse cameras. Until those SLRs come back from repair (who knows how we’re going to pay for it), our pictures are pretty much screwed. None of us are good enough photographers to save our spreads without the crutch of the overly amazing D-SLRs…

Just you wait.

P.S. Oh… Apparently Morgan has an SLR too. Thank heavens.

“I ain’t nothin to him. I’m like… what am I like? A bit of jigsaw puzzle. Yeh, that’s it - a bit of jigsaw puzzle. He’s picked me up, turned me over in his fingers, had a good look, and now he’s putting me to one side for later. Yeh, I’m like a bit of jigsay puzzle - one of them muddy little brown bits that could go anywhere.”
