This weekend I
(Its funny how the things I feel the most are the words that sound like they belong to a bad junior high essay. Except that its not really funny.)

I remembered a life I once lived. I lived it again. The same Hollywood places and all the same faces, told the same stories while we sipped...

She called me tonight. I was glad it was her. Shes the reason I plugged the phone back in.

So, anyway., she says immediately - as if she was continuing a conversation rather than initiating one, He is so confusing, Julie, I swear to fucking God.

She doesnt need to clarify her pronouns. I know without thinking and she says without speaking. Weve been having...

Sigh I miss you dear. But I think I am going away for a while. At least on the site. If you need me you know how to reach me.
chris_sick:

"Holy Jesus fuck!", she breathes.

I glance over at her.

She has lived here her entire life. She's watched this sun set behind the Pacific Ocean every afternoon. Or any afternoon that she bothered to look up and notice anyway. But, still the fiery pastels of dusk impressed her, so much so that she muttered blasphemous curses. She was skin and lips and things I...

oh and you and her have a lot in common...mainly your love for children with special needs. smile
smuffy:
omg yes girl. I had the lyrics quoted in my profile a few weeks ago. I hear that song and I bawl like a baby.

oh and tina is a major saint. I spent one day with her and her students and I was exhausted just watching. plus I stated thinking how hard it must be for the parents. then I wondered what would become of them when they became adults. life is so unfair. seeing people like that makes our problems seem so small.

smuffy:

burstandbloom:
what exactly do i owe you for that citique
?

i think this is the piece that interests me the most out of the ones ive written - although the second story i wrote i liked a lot, it was small though and i dont remember anybody giving me any feedback, fuckers -

so i think i will be revising the latest one and trying to get it good enough to publish

we will see

what do you think of the CURSIVE song
?
burstandbloom:
"don't want to be seen as a pretty thing
'Cause it's the pretty things that we're always breaking..."

good pick
ill write something too

but probably not tonight

i have to finish writing this article about the New Orleans Hornets for this magazine im working for
i need to hook it up fat
so i can get some free season tickets and get in with the Hornets

Inspired by Respect

From this place of fantasy, of unreality and delusion, a mind- as alive as my own, has birthed itself into a tangible form. A man has come from an identity sheathed in facade and hidden by alias.

The name you know him by is not the name that his chocolate-skinned mother, in her leopard skin pants, called out the window to bring...
