LJ Idol - Week 1 - Am I Crazy?
When I first read this weeks topic, I have to admit, I started laughing and thought that it was going to be an easy topic to write about. Of course I'm crazy, anyone who knows me would probably have the same reaction I did, if I were to ask them that question. Of course, after sitting down to think about it for more than thirty seconds, I realized ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
So, after nearly a decade at this site, LJ finally does something that makes me actually rage. No popcorn and laughing as the masses storm to news posts complaining, this time I'm actually worried.
A while back I was invited to help out with BETA testing new LJ services (I got this invite via lj_releasesThey have just announced BETA testing of a new ( Read more... ) -
LJ Idol Week 2 - Three Little Words
I've never been particularly good at friendships. At relationships. At people. I have a hard time being around folks who don't know me incredibly well (and these days there aren't many of those,) and having anything but inane conversations.

and the days are drifting into seasons
they're the hardest I have ever known
a million spaces in the earth to fill but

LJ Idol - Second Chance - Take Heart
I hate when people say "don't take things so personally." My mom says it to me all the time when I get upset over someone saying something. Which admittedly, is kind of a lot. I take a lot of things to heart. It's why I put on this facade of being a cold bitch, because it's just easier. It's easier to make people think that you just don't give a ( Read more... ) -
Second Chance Idol Re-Introduction
Sometimes we get second chances,
and sometimes we never make it past the first,
it really makes you wonder why some things happen when they do,
it really makes me wonder why it wasn't me instead of you

I feel there's some sort of irony in this, me writing an introduction for a second chance at therealljidolI'm not big on second chances. I don ( Read more... )
