then she said
and you believed
what? I'm not sure
but enough bad
to be certain
that I was too.

it already was
she once said you were land

Old Enough
When do we grow up? I sit in my grade 11 classes and watch my peers eyes glaze over, and watch how they develop striking resemblances to their parents. Or at least, that's what I thought it was at first - just a resemblance, but then I realized that it wasn't only their parents which they resembled, they also had the frightening and shocking ( Read more... ) -
What about contacts? Laser Eye Surgery?
The world ended for me then and there at that very moment. Although that sounds a little drastic doesn't it? A world ends and a new one begins every single day. I think we forget that sometimes. Thinking there is only one world. And in a sense the statement is true, we all live in the same world, we're just all walking around with different glasses ( Read more... ) -
invisible and under our noses
Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.--George Santayana
Can you see the footprints left in the snow after the storm? How about after the mud after a rainfall? What about after a generation has walked the path? Have they left their mark?
Can you see it?
Maybe it's not clear. Maybe the story changed so much from one campfire to ( Read more... ) -

It's a funny feeling. Or rather, its a funny, fickly uncomfortable state, writing, I find. A spark. An idea, here like lightening gone just as the rumble of thunder sets in. It's like a game of tag. How long can you hold onto the idea Ashley? So once the story is developed and ready for the initial stages of the uncomfortable state of writing it ( Read more... ) -

So I was calling back the places I dropped off my resumes in town seeing if any of them wanted me to work for them since nobody had called me yet, and I got an interview with a lady from Second Cup (actually I have, because it is to take place in the near future which is why I'm blogging about it rather than doing something terribly important like ( Read more... ) -

there is something undeniably, almost sickengly romantic about dusk when the world is enveloped with snow. anything solid, anything that had colour is a silhouette, and things that seemed to have no colour at all light up in pinks and dusty blues under the cold streetlamps. & although it's cold enough to see your breathe, you feel warm because of ( Read more... ) -

Resolute
I haven't posted in quiet a while. This is probably due to some shyness or the homework that attacks me non-stop from the ever loving torture of honours programs on steroids. Both excuses could be rather adequate, but I have a tendency to break away from shyness and... well embarrass myself and I also tend to procrastinate a ridiculous amount when ( Read more... )
