The Dead Moon Rises.

Righteous. That's what I want to be. I want to be straight forward. I don't want to hurt your feelings, and if I do, I want to be direct and speak with you, and you alone, about it. I want to be honest. I want to be courageous. We are a generation that is pretending there is no right and wrong. No morality. We are squeezing our eyes shut and plugging our ears to the blatent fact that there is good and there is right. When you sacrifice yourself for another...that is good. When you are honest. That is good. When you appologize publically...that is good.
Isn't it ironic that it is the corageous ones that bring their imperfections into the light. Isn't it ironic that it is the brave who choose to beg forgiveness for their sins. And isn't it ironic that we save face in the eyes of our peers...by losing it?
Don't be afraid of the truth. It is our greatest ally. If you've done something wrong, the easiest way to 'get out of it' is to let everyone know what you've done. Aren't we all walking together? Aren't we struggling through issues and trying to sort our priorities and morality together? We are, after all, all human right? Why wouldn't we forgive you for what you've done? Why shouldn't we help you back on your feet.
Has anyone read "Anne Of Green Gables."? Remember when she says, "Which would you rather be if you had the choice--divinely beautiful or dazzlingly clever or angelically good?" I guess I would be angelically good. It's going to get you the farthest and it means the most (but the rest are definently close seconds...and the divinely beautiful is tempting).
*big sigh* Well, I'm not ENTIRELY sure where all that came from. Hope it meant something to someone out in the big wide internet, but if it didn't, it meant something to me, and that means something...which is an altogether awkward statement. Have you ever noticed that awkward is awkwardly spelt? wierd. And Abbreviated seems like it should be a much, well, more abbreviated word. It just begs abbreviation.
I love characters. I love plots. I love-
(sorry that this is so random, I'm just following my brain around...don't mind me.) I absolutely love tension of plot, emotion, character, conflict, resolution, twists, backround, diologue, descriptions. Don't tell me about something, put me there. It's a pain because I live through books sometimes and every once and a while I get a scene, or a person, or a place stuck in my head, and I want to take other people there with me. I want to describe them or it perfectly. I want you to stand there with me, both of us in the same place, but I'm just not good enough to do it yet, and so it's just awkward...that's my new word...awkward.
Like, for instance, I've got this boy stuck in my head (no, not a real one, he's just a character). I'm not sure how old he is, but I'm guessing fourteen-eighteen. Eighteen absolute oldest. He's a good kid to. I'm starting to figure out how he talks and reacts to things...but I'm not that far into him. I do know that he tries to do the right thing, but he's in pretty pathetic situations most of the time that really aggrivates that. Yeah, so I can't really get him out of my head, and I might put him in a Sci Fi plot I want to write...which is weird. It's not really Sci Fi anyway...but it's futuristic? What's the definition of Sci Fi anyway? Does anyone know?
Is anyone still reading this? It's ok if you're not. I haven't commented on anyone's journal in a while. Crazy_lil_loud1 and shakeupmylife are my insane comment buddies and they ALWAYS comment and I love them for that and they amaze me. *throws confetti at them*
*tips hat*
Goodnight all,
Abby
