1.) What kind of music do you like? Why?
I like the kind of music that relates to how I’m feeling. The notes I can associate to people’s features and voices, our past and present, the way their words effect me – that’s what I look for when I’m listening to a song.
I like the kind of music that makes you imagine a person just beyond your eyelids; whether it be the artist(s) of the song, a friend, an enemy, a family member, a lover, the old woman down the road who drains her pool out into the streets… just anyone to make it feel real.
2.) Do you ever feel it's necessary to hurt other people? Why/why not?
honest,
I can’t say that I’ve ever intentionally hurt someone,
but I can’t say that I’ve never hurt anyone in any way, sense, or form.
if I have, there must have been a reason for it.
3.) What makes you smile?
Lovely words, kind gestures, wonderful people, a reason to live, things that glow in the dark, granny square blankets, warmth, the sun;
finding in the wild game of hide-and-seek, because it’s so much bigger than we know.
& on the note of granny square blankets, I’m determined to make one before I become too old and grey.
4.) What are your goals? Why?
success and happiness
it’s what I owe to my sanity
5.) Do you hate anyone? Why/why not?
I can’t say that I completely and utterly hate someone. there hasn’t been anyone around me long enough to make me hate them. sure, I can strongly despise or dislike someone, but in that case, I avoid them. I make all precautionary actions to go around them and not cause anything more than needed. if they want a confrontation, hell, I’ll give them one; but it’s not my place to make someone else’s mind troubled by the fact that there’s beef somewhere.
6.) What makes you cry?
nostalgia, time, distance, frustration
7.) When was the last time you felt beautiful? Why'd you feel that way?
whenever I’m on my own – it gives me a time to not compare myself to other people. when I do get to that point of comparison though, I ignore myself and move on. I don’t dote on the fact that I’m not perfect, but I find beauty in flaws.
8.) What are your opinions on sex?
sex is everyone’s own opinion. ideally, it should only be used to love beyond words. realistically, it’s simply not. beyond that, I don’t know.
9.) How 'bout religion?
I respect being a believer. I respect different religions. I don’t exactly respect organization in this form. I won’t go around vandalizing, but religion should be one’s own personal time with whatever they believe in and not a community prayer with people you don’t even necessarily like. this is a corner in the world where it should be quiet, if nothing else.
10.) What is safe?
someone’s reassuring words, dreams across oceans, lights
11.) What's the most important thing to you? Why?
words are probably the most important thing to me. they create beauty, they destruct frailty and strength, they send messages four-thousand miles away, they express, they scream, they respire, they seek.
but when need be, they just simply aren’t there.
12.) Are you happy?
for the most part, yes. I would very much like to change more than a few things that would make me even happier, but beyond that, I’d say I’m comfortable with my happiness.
13.) What's your worst fear? Why?
being left, forgetting, leaving youth, facing the future, time, distance – please say there’s a word for all of those because they seem too similar to me. why? I don’t want to confront change that happens without me.
14.) What fulfills you?
this one’s taking me a while to figure out. life, in itself. the feeling of breathing. I think that covers it.

i wish i knew you properly.

I had to stop reading after this:
"What is safe?
someone’s reassuring words, dreams across oceans, lights"
I had to break up with Nick today.
My dream is gone.
-
-
What happened?
-
-
I met a boy over here that kinda made me forget about Nick, and Nathan all the guys before :/
I went on a date with him and I'm going on another one.
I told Nick and now....... well yeah, we're no more.
It hurts because I still love him. Thing is though, Nick had been breaking my heart for a week before this happened. The distance became too much and it killed me every time Nick said "I love you"
So I ended it.
It turned into a MASSIVE fight, and now he won't talk to me unless I need him. What was worse was when he said "ALOT of women came onto me last night and I told them I was taken. If I was single I would have taken them home, but I didn't . For you." That hurts me so much.
But this boy is in Ireland, and I wanna get to know him, as more than a friend. -
-
Weren't you two having an open relationship though?
I'll have to get onto MSN later - I'm home early because I'm sick.
We have some catching up to do.
<3 -
-
Well apparently Nick told girls he was "taken".
I don't wanna talk about it anymore =[
I did what I had to do. I like the Irish boy. He's here, that's all that matters.
I dunno if I'll be on. I'll probably be on "appear offline" so just find me and say hey anyway.
I WILL reply to your message.
Actually, I'll do it now.
But the "interesting" night is not longer valid. Cos everything that's happened since is more important haha
-
-
Alright, I won't bring it up.
I understand.
<33
Alright - I've got a few things to straighten up before I get on, so it might be a while anyway.
& that makes me smile. I look forward to it.
I feel somewhat loopy right now, I think it's time for a nap sometime.
-
-
It's just I spent hours yesterday sorting it out with him, or trying to and it resulted in an argument and him not speaking to me. So you can understand why I'm over it hahaha.
I'm on now for the next 2-ish hours.
But tomorrow is my early morning so I have to be up.
And yes, naps are epic!
