I failed at being a failure. It was my dream, just like it will always be the dream of every useless little girl with smoke in her hair and rips in her skin who can't make her mark any other way, so all she can hope for is to blend in better than everybody else. Today I thrive on hypocrisy. I couldn't cut it with cutting and hating myself, so I took a stab at backstabbing and hating and slashing all the ones who slash and hate themselves, and I hate myself for it. Victory is sour.
Some days I have an urge to try again. When it's just past eight and I feel young and reckless and restless again, sometimes I say screw Christmas, let's get crack
I feel shitty
Oh so shitty
I feel shitty and just not quite right
And I pity
Anyone who feels like me tonight
I feel lousy
Oh so lousy
It's alarming how lousy I feel
And so shitty
That I hardly believe I don't keel
See that sickly girl in the mirror there:
Who can that wheezing girl be?
Such a blotchy face
Such a wrinkly shirt
Such a drippy nose
Such a shitty me!
I feel icky
And repulsive
Feel like hiding and shrinking from view
For I'm sick
With a nasty, horrible flu!
O sparkling star, that graceth Jove's own hall,
I humbly do entreat thee: twinkle still!
Rejoice thou, jewel, though thou art but small:
Thy goldish glist'ring gives me nightly thrill.
As I lay quiet on the dew-deck'd grass,
I wonder of what metal thou art made:
Perhaps of fire, perhaps of shining glass,
Perhaps of diamond in the Heavens laid.
O flame sublime! How far art thou from I,
A hopeless gazer on thy majesty!
Thy burning beauty blindeth ev'ry eye,
Despite how far from Earth thou seem'st to be.
Be proud, young star! Amaze me with thy light,
For thou dost teach the torches to burn bright.
Shudder, creak, careful now
Whine, click, and I'm in
Silent still and secret step
Of the breathless cadent dance
Sworn not to break the trance
Temper, slide, gently now
Halt, stretch, and I'm there
Crackle chill and censor clip
Giddy haunting temptation
The shiver of anticipation
Tremor, off, slowly now
In, out, and I'm cold
Trickle touch and terror trip
Never just a malcontent
Say farewell, my innocent
Center, lock, quickly now
Breathe, lunge, and I'm done
Rapid rage and riddled rip
Splitting yellow buzz and hum
Sicken surge to overcome
Falter, spin, faster now
Drop, stop, and I'm home
Dwindle drum and dizzy drip
Stran
Shudder, creak, careful now
Whine, click, and I'm in
Silent still and secret step
Of the breathless cadent dance
Sworn not to break the trance
Temper, slide, gently now
Halt, stretch, and I'm there
Crackle chill and censor clip
Giddy haunting temptation
The shiver of anticipation
Tremor, off, slowly now
In, out, and I'm cold
Trickle touch and terror trip
Never just a malcontent
Say farewell, my innocent
Center, lock, quickly now
Breathe, lunge, and I'm done
Rapid rage and riddled rip
Splitting yellow buzz and hum
Sicken surge to overcome

while waiting for the bus i met a homeless man who claimed to be jesus. we talked for a while about school and he even said a prayer for me. i'm an athiest, but if you're going to have a prayer said for you, you might as have a prayer said for you by the person who thinks he's the son of god.
after he said his prayer he asked me for a cigarette. i didn't have any at the time, so i couldn't give him one. i offered him a dollar instead but he called me an asshole and kicked dirt on my shoes. i'm probably going to hell.

This guy I met at an art fair who showed me his notebook. He was amazing, and I'll never find him.
I tried to put a couple of my photos from Tibet up, and I don't know what I'm doing at all, so they keep coming out really small...um, I'll work on that...but for now my gallery is going on hiatus. I gotta focus on my play. Happy holidays!
I've been really busy for a couple weeks. Haven't gotten on DA since December 3rd or 4th ish, and my messages are really piling up. I meant to post some of my photos from Tibet this morning (I finally pried them from my Dad) but I got caught up in messages. I'll try to post some of those pix over winter break, before I go to LONDON!! My best friend and I are going together on a theatre tour. It's going to rock. I finally get to make my sacred pilgrimage to Stratford-upon-Avon. ^_^ We're leaving the day after Christmas and getting back the day after New Year's. After that point, I'm going to be pouring all my artistic energy into London Fallin
