Waltzing Backwards
I don't know if I really believe in the notion of alcohol as "truth serum."
I know it makes me more candid.
But, you, little one, drunk and sleepy at 4 am, calling me "perfect" with such insistent sincerity, ignoring and disputing my every protestation ...
That's not the truth. I'm far from perfect. But maybe it's just your damn insistent belief ( Read more... ) -

Reflections
I've been toying with the notion of putting all this into words for, oh, maybe 5 or 6 months now? Pretty much just so the last thing I post on here isn't all self-deprecation ( Read more... ) -
overdue final goodbye
"Will you ever know that the bitterness and anger left me long, long ago? Only sadness remains, and it will pass ..."
Love, there are so many things I wish I could tell you if only you could hear me over the deafening roar of your own anger. Don’t get me wrong; you are more than entitled to all your hate and rage for me. It hurts, of course, but I’ ( Read more... ) -
good to know. >:)

I always hated this song.
I have to block out thoughts of you so I don’t lose my head. They crawl in like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed... There's a burning in my pride, a nervous bleeding in my brain. An ounce of peace is all I want for you. Will you never call again? And will you never say that you love me just to put it in my face? And will you never try to reach ( Read more... ) -
broke me.
The most we can hope for is an uncivil union in Vermont and I want church bells.
I want rosary beads.
I want Jesus on his knees.
I wanna walk down the aisle feeling the patriarchy smile.
That’s not true.
But I do wanna spend my life with you.
And I wanna know fifty years from now, when you’re in a hospital room getting ready to die, when visiting ( Read more... ) -
What celebrity is your pet?
Johnny Knoxville
The kind of pet that can leap tall fences in a single bound (or not, but give it a shot anyhow), Mercury is the original Jackass, Johnny Knoxville!
Going through the pain so you don't have to, Mercury knows that he trots a fine line between funny and stupid, but he doesn't care-he's laughing about it all the way to the pet store. ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Your Theme
This is applicable on multiple levels at the moment... but I'm not elaborating.
Goddamn post-teen-angst PMS. Or maybe it's the rain. Either way, I haven't written a word in forever, mostly because I've been reading other people's public gripes lately, and I really fully intended to reclaim my trademark sarcastic wit and not do this anymore, the ( Read more... ) -
