I took myself out to dinner this evening. I couldn't find anyone to go with me so I went by myself. I have found that going out alone is a fair bit odd. However, I did not get that feeling this time; perhaps, it was because I was writing a short story or maybe I am just getting used to doing things alone. Regardless, it was a very pleasant dinner.

I am really looking forward to this summer. I get to go to Europe and visit quite a few places with my best friends while earning credit hours I need for college. Paramore and No Doubt are coming to Charlotte (Verizon) on June 6 and I want to go so bad. Hopefully I will get to go see them. I need a good summer because the last one was just hard and ( Read more... )

A strange thing happened to me this evening. While I was reclining on the bed reading a book (Goth) everything but the pages illuminated by my little light went all odd. I know that "went all odd" is not a very accurate description but that is what occurred. The words on the page were clear and sharper than normal; it almost seemed as if I could ( Read more... )

The day is filled with rain. Rainy days are my favorite. I went out and played in the rain for a long while; it was quite refreshing, even if a bit lonely.  Now I sit by the window having a spot of tea (chamomile tea and hot of course) and reading (Dracula). The tea is quite excellent and so is the view. Days like this are meant for creation, ( Read more... )

Do you ever think of yourself as an animal? or dream that you are one? For some reason I picture myself as a big black cat (bigger than a panther) especially in my dreams. There are times when I will catch myself doing something cat-like without even realizing it. Those moments are becoming more and more frequent. What does this mean? I honestly ( Read more... )

I just got back from my very first opera (Carmen). It was absolutely amazing. However, it was a bit different than I expected. The orchestra was incredible. The lady playing Carmen portrayed her well and had a perfect laugh for the part. I will definitely never forget this night. I can finally cross off seeing Carmen from the list of things I want ( Read more... )

Have you ever looked into a broken mirror? It is strange to see some of your features isolated so it seems you aren't really looking at your reflection. When I look into a broken mirror I see the things that friends have told me about myself. In one piece there is an eye that has an explosion with in it's depths and in another piece there is ( Read more... )

Have you ever heard any legends about faerie rings? Faerie rings are either cirlces of mushrooms, dried up grass, or unusualy green grass. Faerie rings can be good or bad depending on which legend you lend credence to ( Read more... )

I just read a really great short story by Charles DeLint called "The Words That Remain." It was about a ghost at an old hotel and the woman who created it. The ghost was a part of herself that she killed off long ago to meet the expectations of others. The ghost could not disappear until she was recognized by the woman. The story is well written ( Read more... )

Words. Words have power. However, it is not the words themselves that hold the power. You can pick up a dictionary and find the meaning for any word you desire. A single word by itself has some power beyond its dictionary definition but it is the groups of words that really have power. A power that could change something very small or change the ( Read more... )
