Have not been posting much, on account of life being pretty ugly sad (with often continuous intervals of stress and anger) these past few months. However, things happened in the last few days that make me feel like I'm actually capable of facing things again, so I'm through wangsting here. We shall have sunshine instead. (Yes, enjoying the ( Read more... )

From Two Poems About Poetry, by Nico Alvarado-Greenwood:

That we can only write
the poems we can write
is tautological but true.

But I don't want to!
I want to write the poems
I can't write.

I love Google's definition search thing.
Tautological: using repetition or excessive wordiness; redundant use of words.Other news: I am letting two ( Read more... )

( Five Male Fandom Characters I Will Never, Ever Get Sick Of )

It's summer. x_x My head's still kind of reeling from how badly this sem kicked my ass, especially towards the end of it, but I'm crossing my fingers that all my efforts paid off. I knew I wouldn't have a very long break (thanks, ITM), but after the last three months, I don't think I'm going to overload like I was initially planning to. =( If ( Read more... )

I don't really know what makes a good essay. I can do clarity and organization. I can polish the grammar. But I can't seem to write an essay without doing that preachy, this-must-have-a-moral thing at the end; and I don't know how to be witty, or how to make it pretty without sounding too fiction-y. I don't want to seem like I'm showing off, ( Read more... )

We have a new dog. He is an English bulldog. His name is pronounced An-drey (I don't know if it's spelled Andrei, or André) yes, it's odd and fancy, but that was what was on his certificate, and he responds to it, so we decided not to change it anymore. He is adorable, but difficult to house train - it's been two weeks and every day we still see ( Read more... )

NaNo is at a rough estimate of 38k words. That means 12k more to go. o_o Kaya paaaaa.

As per second sem, typically my days consist of school, possibly driving home and trying not to get the car crashed, juggling and/or playing Le Secret on the piano so that I don't have to use my brain for a while, then cooking dinner and/or exercising ( ( Read more... )

So, one week left until the end of sembreak. u_u

It's not that it wasn't time well-spent, and anyway, I'm starting to get ennui from spending so much time thinking everyday, so maybe it's all for the best. It's just a bit surprising that it's practically been a month already. Woah ( Read more... )

So much is happening these days.
Eternal rest grant unto those souls, and let perpetual light shine upon them.

I didn't know them, which is a relief in itself, but it still makes me sad, you know? I don't want to wait until it's someone I do know. Not again. Not now. Not so soon. No.There's school, too. I've had collectively ten hours of ( Read more... )
