If I tell you I love you, can I keep you forever? I like words. They like me too. At least I think they do. They tend to flow from my pen onto my paper in such a fashion that I can’t help but love them. Music does the same, except it crawls into my ears from the nearest stereo or speakers and nestles next to my brain emitting amazingly soothing sounds. I can't live without poetry. I plan things when I’m uncomfortable and if I feel things are changing too fast. Or if I’m really insecure about something. Art is in my skin. Dracula by Bram stoker is amazing, you should read it. I don't have blood. Its red and blue oil paint. Sewing is fun. If you don't knit, you should. I like that I can smell the minty freshness on your breath. I believe that a smile is best gift you can give and receive. Treasure every moment. It’s not the destination, only the journey. eBay is A-FRICKING-MAZING. Plop, frond, towel and knee are funny words. PUCK you, miss, with a P. I plan things that will probably never happen. I like the security of four doonas, cold, comfortable or boiling. Vintage fabrics make me smile. Singing makes me feel alive. Enfield is my home. Terrigal is just a long holiday. I love my church; we have fun and soak up Gods word. I believe in God and faeries, magic and dreams. If you believe wishes can come true. Mugs are just cups that go to the gym. No problem is insoluble given a big enough plastic bag. Movie magic happens in you're living room. Family time is best spent in the backyard around the barbie. Self confessed book worm. Sing star is the best play station 2 games out there. Anyone beg to differ? I play old school super Nintendo. Mario and Yoshi. No drug is cool, even if you put it in the freezer. I’m not a gambler but my sister and I once blew $20 on a skill tester. Quid is better than bucks. My thesaurus is one of my bestest friends. I like to think I’m unique. Or you could say fashionably forward. Buttons are fun to press........ Even the red ones. Chin giggles, belly laughs, chortles and chuckles are all for a worthy cause. I’d like to be a vampire one day, maybe. Let’s hold hands and throw ourselves into whatever this thing is. Talking to you is inevitable. I tend to sit in my towel for about an hour after my shower before I even think of getting dressed. Bra shopping is traumatic. Underpants’ shopping is amazing. Op shops are rad-o-rama, there should be more. I’m not a vegetarian but sometimes I like to pretend. "Hey, is this a bad time to tell you I’m a vegan? cos like I feel strongly about killing animals for food, I led a protest on McDonalds once, that’s how strongly I oppose animal slaughtering" "well there's vege burgers there, man you shoulda told me before" "dude I’m only kidding". Pranks are fun, when they don’t happen to you. Its funny till someone gets hurt, then it’s hilarious. I want to be the heroine in this story. My lips are sealed shut, but I can still pretend to talk. Classic novels make me feel intellectual. I can’t help being slightly deranged. It’s what happens when you’ve been alone for as long as I have. was asked one day, "what would you take if you were on a deserted island, only one thing but" I replied with a completely straight face "friends, that way you have someone to talk to whilst your eating their legs". Some lyrics make my heart do funny things. Flowers make me feel pretty. Dresses are my fave. Summer is warm and spring is the best. Let it snow. The fact that you're never here now makes me wonder if you were ever there at all. Did you really want to be the one to break my heart? I can listen to your problems but we can't be friends, I can't be part of the problem. I forgot how to live, you helped me remember, then you left and I forgot again. I never hated you, but sometimes I hated who I was when I was with you. We could have fallen asleep and forgot the world. I feel unusually triumphant when I’m at the start of the line, just seeing everyone at the end, behind me, where I began and looking back and feeling complete accomplishment. Sometimes I wish I was someone else, but then I realize, no one is as cool as me.

*i dont know why i'm here
doing the same thing again
i dont know why i pretend
its like i've created a whole new person to be
just for you.........
take advantage of it.........
just plain take it......
i'll serve my heart up to you on a platter
stab your fork into it.......
its not like its mine anyway.......*
