'Dearest,
I feel certain I am going mad again. I feel we can’t go through another of those terrible times. And I shan’t recover this time. I begin to hear voices, and I can’t concentrate.
So I am doing what seems the best thing to do. You have given me the greatest possible happiness. ...

'Room' by Emma Donoghue
Perhaps telling this story through the point of view of a five year old was a good way to avoid telling a story that actually made logical sense, after all the boy could only observe and understand so much. First of all, I still can’t see how ‘Ma’ felt the need to spill all the gory details of her life and abduction, and then more or less guilt trip her son into being her...

The Girls that are Wanted
The girls that are wanted are good girls
Good from the heart to the lips
Pure as the lily is white and pure
From its heart to its sweet leaf tips
The girls that are wanted are girls with hearts
They are wanted for mothers and wives
Wanted to cradle in loving arms
The strongest and frailest of lives.
The clever, the witty, the brilliant girl
There are few who can understand
But, oh! For...

I can decide to zone in and fall. The problem with being such a miserable bitch is that it sometimes feels noble, heroic. My ability to love with or without really wanting it in return will one day be legendary. I feel like I could do anything for someone I love. Where they stand in regards to my affection is completely irrelevant to the cause. I have to decide. Is this because deep down, I don’t...

"Don't exist. Live.
Get out, explore. Thrive. Challenge authority. Challenge yourself. Evolve. Change forever. Become who you say you always will. Keep moving. Don’t stop. Start the revolution. Become a freedom fighter. Become a superhero. Just because everyone doesn’t know your name doesn’t mean you don’t matter. Are you happy? Have you ever been happy? What have you done today to matter?...

On Music by Thomas Moore
When thro’ life unblest we rove, Losing all that made life dear, Should some notes we us’d to love, In days of boyhood, meet our ear, Oh! how welcome breathes the strain! Wakening thoughts that long have slept! Kindling former smiles again In faded eyes that long have wept.
Like the gale, that sighs along Beds of oriental flowers, Is the grateful breath of song, That once was heard...

'Unbearable Lightness' and other such...
First of all I should come out and say that I really admire Portia De Rossi, her choice in partner Ellen, her strength of character… Etc blah blah. She’s the kind of person I would want to meet and make friends with.
Now.
This book of hers is getting a lot of press. Obviously. I can’t wait to read it (its been amazon’d) but all the press reviews seem to be focusing on how...

Line49. pt 1.
This is part one of a series of monologues, a taped account sent from a girl to a friend. Transcribed to text here.
I know its usually a bad idea to start a story in the middle.
Here I think it’s necessary.
I exist to exist in his shadow, which is slowly fading away. I don’t work, no I live off my trust which I only have now due to some complicated law suit. My parents still...

“If I could change I would
Take all the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move...”
– I have a lot running through my head at the moment. More than anyone knows, a lot of my friends know bits and pieces, and those are bad enough. I know, KNOW to say it all would be too much, even I would not like anyone to come to me with something like this… What’s the point of sharing...

The Invitation by Oriah Mountain Dreamer
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you...

How To Pick Up A Hipster Girl
Step Five: It’s not called flakiness, it’s called letting your plans evolve. The last time anybody I know made and stuck to solid plans was somewhere around the spring of 1989, when no one but yuppies in the movies carried cell phones, because they were still the size of bricks. We’re not flaky, it’s just that often times something better comes up. Sure, on a Monday afternoon it sounds like a...

25 June '10
It feels like ice running through me, it keeps me from really being alive even though I am here. So I go through the motions whilst day dreaming… About my ideal future life in San Fran or the truth behind the lyrics of my favourite songs. Always words.
Sometimes I want to shake you, I want to tell you the truth…. ‘I want you today. NOW! Let’s play pretend, let’s act...
