Something to learn for life:
"Aim for success, never perfection.
Never give up your right to be wrong,
because you will lose the ability
to learn new things
and move forward with your life."
Dr David M Burns


I saw a homemade video to this the other day, and it really reminded me of you.
(And that wasn't because it had 'The L Word' clips in it, it was how it all came together! And the music)

God, things get complicated, don't they?

I Miss You Now by Stereophonics

I feel I wanna hold you, wanna tell you that it'll be alright
Sang this song today, it's recalling your pictures all in my mind
I miss you now
I miss you now

Although we're getting old, now the old friends gonna leave and die
I'm helpless, it's gonna get us before we get this, I wanna kiss you goodbye
I miss you now...
I miss you now

I feel I wanna hold you, wanna tell you that you'll be alright
I'm helpless, it's gonna get us before we get this
I wanna kiss you goodbye
I miss you now...
I miss you now


And this is from Grey's... The Story by Brandi Carlile





If you're actually here to read my poetry and want a particular theme to read and are too lazy to sift through them, here's a link to my semi-categorised poems. It still needs some sorting, but most of it's up there.


Random facts about me:
1. I love Oscar Wilde, Sylvia Plath, and Carol Ann Duffy.
2. I spend my time doing logic puzzles and sudoku, because TV bores me.
3. I'm buying myself Alice in Wonderland for Christmas.






"Do you dream, that the world will know your name?
So, tell me your name.
Do you care, about all the little things... or anything at all?
I wanna feel all the chemicals inside! I wanna feel!
I wanna sunburn, just to know that I'm alive,
To know I'm alive.

Don't tell me if I'm dying! 'Cause I don't wanna know!
If I can't see the sun, maybe I should go.
Don't wake me cause I'm dreaming; of angels on the moon,
Where everyone you know never leaves too soon..."






"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control, and at times I'm hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."
-Marilyn Monroe

"Know what's weird? Day by day, nothing seems to change, but pretty soon...everything's different." - Calvin and Hobbes

My song of the moment:

Stupid by Sarah McLachlan

Night lift up the shades, let in the brilliant light of morning
but steady there now...
for I am weak and starving for mercy,
sleep has left me alone, to carry the weight of unravelling where we went wrong
it's all I can do to hang on,
to keep me from falling into old familiar shoes

How stupid could I be?
A simpleton could see
that you're no good for me!
But you're the only one I see...

Love has made me a fool; it set me on fire and watched as I floundered
unable to speak, except to cry out and wait for your answer...
but you come around in your time, speaking of fabulous places
create an oasis that dries up as soon as you're gone.
You leave me here burning in this desert without you

But how stupid could I be?
A simpleton could see
that you're no good for me!
But you're the only one I see...

Everything changes!
Everything falls apart.
Can't stand to feel myself losing control...
but deep in my senses I know...

How stupid could I be?
A simpleton could see
that you're no good for me...
but you're the only one I see...

"I've gotten used to ignoring them and I think, as a result, they've kind of given up on me. I think that's what it's like with all our dreams and our nightmares. We've got to keep feeding them for them to stay alive." - A Beautiful Mind





HOMOPHBIA IS WRONG

♥ I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.
♥ I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.
♥ I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.
♥ We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.
♥ I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.
♥ I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.
♥ I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.
♥ I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.
♥ We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.
♥ I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.
♥ I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.
♥ I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.
♥ I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.
♥ I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.
♥ I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.
♥ I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.
♥ I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didn't have to always deal with society hating me.
♥ I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.
♥ I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most...
♥ - ♥ - ♥ love.
