I've shifted my regular-blogging presence to WordPress, at starskim.wordpress.com. It's focused around my adventures in domesticity right now, and I'm keeping this one running as a bitching blog for when I just need to rant about something completely unrelated. But that means it's going to be infrequently updated, and if you want to keep track of ( Read more... )

Confession: I am completely jealous of pretty much every blog on my reading list. The writers always seem to have something meaningful to say, or at least something not completely asinine ( Read more... )

Was digging around my old blogs (MySpace- shut up!) hunting for old poems or rants I'd particularly enjoyed writing, and I found this one of mine:

11:50
My eyes won't close, again
My head won't nod, as in
I'm losing sleep
While you creep
Inside my head
As I lie abed
Just lying, waiting
Comiserating
With all the troubled youths of lore
So I pace across my ( Read more... )

A poem I meant to post a couple weeks ago- written in the early morning, when the birds were still singing. It became one of my favorites right after I finished it ^_^

Over and Over
No one needs you like I do
A quiet force in all directions
You just pull me in
Over and over and over again

The music's on too loud
And nobody feels like dancing
But that won't ( Read more... )

This is my Angel from Jess and Amanda's Journey to Heaven's Gate RP on Gaia. Brought here both for easy tweaking and to show her off. I've put a good four hours into this character, and parts of her backstory I keep to myself for in-game revelations. Woo!
Makes me wish I could draw worth a shit and get everyone a picture of what she is in my head.

Written Saturday night post-movie. My writing urges seem to have increased lately. This typically means I've got some story crashing around inside that I need out, and will keep writing until it gets there. These pieces I post up may or may not end up parts of it, but they're part of the process. As with everything I write, I would really ( Read more... )

Those of you who've witnessed my occasional songwriting attempts have learned one thing above all others: I typically get a chorus I love with no song around it, or a song with no good chorus.

Well, this weekend (Monday night, really), I did the impossible: I finished a song, start, chorus, and end, all of which I am happy with. Will be writing the ( Read more... )

It doesn't have a name or score yet, and really, the lyrics are half-done at best. It flows awkwardly to the tune in my head and that tune tends to meander a bit. But sometimes typing them out helps me think them over. And besides, I've kind of been wanting to share it since I started it. Feedback from the artistically inclined would be wonderful.

Yeah, ok, I've been late in reporting this and I'm peeved about it, really, but it seems I've actually failed to post daily a few times now. Averaged out, the post count probably still comes out right, but honest once each cycle of me waking and me sleeping has failed. Sure, I had good reasons for some I'm certain, but the fact remains I failed ( Read more... )

I know, it's premature by several days, but it's really all I can think about right now ( Read more... )
