and me being me... i rather keep silent than splash it out here.
suffice it to say that things are falling into place by themselves.
its interesting, i'd say that i create my destiny, if i want something, i'd do everything in my power to get it, but at the same time, i'm a firm believer in 'meant to be'.
i never really let it go though...
na de qi fang de xia. after you strive so hard for something, how do you just let go ?
keeping options open. what lengths will you go to in order not to burn bridges.

[ 18122009 1.45am | grrrR. ]
Yeah!!! I actually took a bus home today! How amazing is that.
Partly cos I had nothing to rush back for, for once.
My dad has decided to cut off my net at 1am everynight in an attempt to make me sleep more.
Its good... And bad... But... Mostly bad I guess.
Anyhow he's my dad and I «3 him.
So ya.
***
And... I think a lot of you have asked me this question -
Why did u go back to competitive?
Well... Its a combination of being psychoed by cyn, and being psychoed by dawn.
Cyn says : if I get a ticket back, you're playing last.
Dawn says : if you don't help me, I cannot keep the team going.
And somehow... A lot of things seem to be falling into place after I came back...
So even though I do need a break... BADLY... To sort out my life and stuff...
I guess the time is not now.
But certain decisions will still have to be made... Just perhaps with different reasons.
So... Hmm.
I'm back..?
(How tiresome)
But I «3 the girls... And I guess I've worked too hard to just let it go.
I still remember the days when it was just dawn and shan and I.
Then it was dawn and I for the longest most painful time.
And then we are here.
Lol.
Life is strange.
I'm looking forward to seeing what else it has in store for me.

[ 15122009 2.33am | flu-ed fish ]
So that explains why I'm alive at this time I guess?
I've been contemplating many situations, but one common theme - interpersonal dynamics.
It surprises me that I actually am perceptive enough to grasp a lot of subtleties.
I never thought of myself as being... Sensitive to these things?
Many times, I don't consciously know it, I just react. Its only when I put it into words (nope, not gossip) that I really realise... 'Woah... How did I know all that? The whole situation suddenly makes so much sense now that I've put it down in words!"
I've been attempting to proceed with more calculated responses... Even though I do find it necessary to dish out my exceedingly blunt side to some unsuspecting soul.
But really... I've been scaring myself with some gems of wisdom that drop out of my mouth.
Is this something that comes with growing older?
If it is, then its another reason why I like adding years to my age.
=D
The other day... I was mega emofied.
I went to the wash room - its outside the office, behind the lifts.
So there's this perma mynah nest at the lift area. They're very reproductive.
When I came out of the wash room, I saw 2 mynahs standing on the floor, and they didn't move when I got closer.
I realised their attention was on this patch on the floor!!!
One of their sky blue eggs somehow fell out of the nest and shell shards and very very orange yolk was in this sad splattered puddle.
So emo. They were so sad... Looking at their ex-child-to-be.
EMO.
After that cannot concentrate on work already.

In many ways I consider myself fortunate. What I/we have today is a combination of hard work, luck, and a good working partner.

[ 04122009 1.30pm | kuroky. ]
1) he is humble
not only are his blog and replies well reasoned, he's also ready to admit that there are better players than him, unlike some other well known players.
he's patient with the trolls, and doesnt lapse into bm-ing mode with them.
other than that, quite a few people hold the opinion that he's the only one on the team who improved with every game, who learnt from his mistakes and made changes to his playing as the game went on.
2) there are many reasons why a player chooses to leave the team, why a player chooses to stay in a team. most are selfish reasons. but then again, who isnt selfish? and who are we to judge when we don't know the internal struggles/situation of MYM / Kuroky? its not wrong to take a chance to follow the path which might lead you to your dream. there are lots of things that i would do to get what i want, and i'm sure you would compromise yourself in many ways to get what YOU want too.
and hey, i'm sure its not a new concept that teams borrow players to play as last for a competition. i have no idea which hole you're hiding in if you haven't realised this. maybe MYM was the one using kuroky cos mym thinks they have a better chance with him in the line up?
3) i want him to pwn EU dota. So i'll support him til he does! if that day never comes, then i guess i'll just support him for life! unless he becomes some stuck up fker or the like.
4) he put our team name next to his (ex)team name
free publicity or? =)

堵在眼前像一面玻璃
挡住了你表情剩下只有脚印
He......
一直向前走走不完距离
一直向后退不出回忆
很高兴有心事帮我困住自己
你头发上淡淡青草香气
变成了风才能和我相遇
你的目光蒸发成云
再下成雨我才能够靠近
感谢我不可以住进你的眼睛
所以才能拥抱你的背影
有再多的遗憾用来牢牢记住
不完美的所有美丽
感谢我不可以拥抱你的背影
所以才能变成你的背影
躲在安静角落不用你回头看
不用珍惜
我怀里所有温暖的空气
变成风也不敢和你相遇
我的心事蒸发成云
再下成雨却舍不得淋湿你
躲在安静角落如果你回头看
不用在意

- Dylan said...
- You're right. You are not young anymore. You say u are a gamer. u play professionally but when u strip it all down, what are u? The answer=nothing. Why are u so proud of that fact that u guys have fans in thailand when the only reason they are so entranced by u girls are because you wear skirts. They don't even care whether you're good or not, because u guys arent. What's so great about being a professional gamer who doesnt achieve anything? At least your teammates like dawn are already working and married or have kids and a family to raise. I think you should rethink your life. THere's not point in applying so much makeup and attracting 18 year old boys :) Grow up.
12:16 AM
so, this is what i want to say to him.
-
Thanks for your concern. this is indeed something i've been giving thought to. i wouldn't say i'm unaccomplished, and i'm curious to know why you seem to think that i don't work.
i have a stable job (which i've held for over 2 years) and a degree to back me up.
i admit that i do not have a family and kids to raise, but that doesnt necessarily mean that those who are raising kids or married are achieving anything special. in fact, they could well be more discontented than i am. also, not everyone's aim in life is to get married and have kids, even though it might be yours, or what you perceive as "right" for me.
i did think about female professional gaming and my conclusion is here : http://pmsasterisk.blogspot.com/2009/11/female-gaming-what-is-it-all-about.html
having fans, for whatever reason, is not something EVERYONE can lay claim to, and it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling to know we're well received - by most - and i have reason to believe that its not just cos we wear skirts.
also, wearing make up, to girls, is much like styling hair to guys. we/i can't help it if i happen to look pretty young to boot and attract the "wrong" demographic.
that said, i do feel that i'm lacking some things in my life, i am taking steps towards improvement (which, i do not have to share on my public blog)
once again, thank you for your comment.
-
as an aside, dawn pasted me this link about herbivore guys. i think its worth a read - not all men/people have the same outlook and goals in life. http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/06/05/japan.herbivore.men/index.html

[ 05112009 11.50pm | headache. ]
Anyhow. That's the run down of my medication. I didn't take the throat one - cos its not unbearably painful.
And I discovered.... That I have a box of paracetamol from my appendectomy. That's 10x10 tablets. And as if the whole box wasn't enough... There's 2 more foil tabs - ie. 2x10 more thrown into the packet as well.
Right... 140 pills of 500mg paracetamol. Enough to last me 2 lifetimes.
I was watching parents with their kids at the clinic... It kinda amazes me to see the tolerance parents have for their kids, and the amount of attachment the kid has for the parent.
Its like... Having a pet.at least, until the kid grows up.
I want a pet. A real pet. Its been a while since my sis has sent muffin and raisin back... And its been an even longer while since I've had an animal to call my own.
***
There is a limit... Sometimes I'm surprised at how high the limit can go.
I wonder if its worth it.
Is it that easy... Hmm.
I wonder if it'll last.
But I guess I'll take it as long as there's a possibility.
People like what's bad for them.
They like it too much. Even though they know they shouldn't.
Zzz
The unending circle, and the first square.
We've come a long way, haven't we.
Let's see what more is in store for us, and what we can make of this from here.
I'm Very Very curious to see what happens.
And... I love it, when I see understanding flood through peoples faces. Its such a nice sight.
Until you deal with the consequences of that 'look of enlightenment'.
Ambiguous post again. Sorry. In my 'head is damn pain and many people read my blog so I cannot be too specific' mode.
The paracetamol seems to have taken effect - I'm sweating under my blankie, which means my fever is subsiding, and my head isn't so excruciating achey.
Still waiting for the cough syrup to knock me out... But I think I won't have much problem falling asleep now that the pain has lessened...
Oh, garena ladder is up. Yay. ^^*

i need more sleep.
but.
SLEEP IS A PRIVILLEGE.
and anyway... i'm programmed to not be able to sleep more than 5 hrs in a stretch.

i wonder if my aims are too lofty, or if my expectations are too high. (obviously, i don't think so. i'm just second guessing)
however. this is keeping me going. giving up has never been further from my mind.

[ 27092009 5.47pm | girlsandboys ]
so what i'm writing here must be taken in context.
the main difference between guy friends, and gal friends, is that guy friends will never be jealous of you at all.
the difficulty instead, is that your guy friend can fall for you, or vice versa.
if the liking is mutual, then ohhkayy.. glhf. otherwise, you're doomed to a few months of feeling awkward, and potentially losing a good friend.
my girlfriends, are classified into - close, and acquaintances.
with my guy friends, however, they are classified into - close, good and acquaintances
the middle ground "good" is possible because guys don't tend to judge girls as much as girls judge other girls.
the girls who know me... either love me or hate me. i think. there's no in between. and i guess they either have misconceptions about me, or know me for who i am.
in a sense, guys are easy.
as long as you're not a total turn off which instantly sends them running for cover, they tend to be more forgiving when it comes to character and looks. more so than how girls treat other girls, at least.
i guess thats why males are programmed to marry females.
(yes, i DO belive this is the natural order of things. if you disagree, by all means. but i'm not going to go into a debate on this)
i do realise, however, that my close girlfriends last longer than close/good male friends. but close girlfriends are few and far between.
you're more likely to walk down orchard road without seeing a single ah-lian, than to find a close girl friend.

"But you're not going," Stella begged him. "You're going to stay, aren't you?"
"No," he answered. "But I'll be back, if you need me."
Standing on the steps of the house which now hummed and palpitated with the life that flutters around death like protective leaves, he began to sob a little in his throat.
"Everything he touched he did something magical to," he thought. "He even brought that little gamin alive and made her a sort of masterpiece."
And then:
"What a hell of a hole he leaves in this damn wilderness--already!"
And then with a certain bitterness, "Oh, yes, I'll be back--I'll be back!"

the idea of loving an imperfect thing, perfectly, until it becomes perfect.
in the entire book of short stories (the one with benjamin button) this is the line which stuck.
the 3rd last sentence of the last short story in the entire book. and i read it months ago.
"if i shower this frog with enough attention and care, maybe it'll turn into a prince"

My parents didn't demand from each other what we seem to demand today from our relationships. My dad loved sports but didn't insist she be on the golf course handing him his driver. Instead, he taught my sister and brother to play. My mom didn't complain about his lack of conversation; she found other outlets. She had us kids, her friends, and her extended family.
My parents knew it was all right if not every single one of their needs were being met by the other, because commitment to the life they shared and created was a bigger reward than anything else. So what if my dad wasn't clued in on the latest gossip? Or that my mom was perfectly okay never learning to ride a bike or swim?"

an article off msn today.
i can't remember the website i copied this and pasted it here before running off from work.
i find this admirable. in a way. the "stick with it no matter what"
this is the "correct" view of marriage then ? not having to share anything but a common goal? because your other half... actually.. ISNT your other half to complement you.. just someone who can WORK and FUNCTION with you.
mildly depressing, if you ask me.
*thinks.

what do you want, and what do i want.
do you even know what you want.
is what we want worth it.
going round in circles is not a journey.
its a hurricane. very unpleasant... very unstable.
***
its a VERY HAPPY FISH Day.
*insert silly fishgrin
but somehow i keep starving these few days. -.-
i think cos i've finally gotten enough rest, so my body has energy to digest things.
perfect. my life is almost perfect. almost, cos i always believe things can get better than they are. and of course, things can always get worse than they are.
this period of peace is close to uncharted. no fires to fight, no bitchiness to contend with, no politics... no arguments... no petty whatevers.
at least, none that involve me.
or to be a little more pessimistic, none that i know of.
just.
peace.
last... a... long... time... please?

i've been struck with a sudden urge to look at an expanse of large blue ocean... to feel the rocking of a boat as the waves strike it.
the heat of the sun... cooking my hair...
once again, i miss the sensation of rough ropes pulling against my grip..
getting cleated in the most painful places ever...
getting whacked so hard by the boom that you can fly off into the water...
memories and sensations so acute they'll stay with me for a lifetime.
***
i think that most problems are self-created...

and there are alot of bad habits i need to get rid of...
like..
sleeping with wet hair...
being overtense
and...thinking too much.

Pretending he's beside me
All alone
I walk with him 'til morning
Without him, I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way, I close my eyes and he has found me
In the rain
The pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever
And I know it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself and not to him
And although I know that he is blind
Still I say there's a way for us

i've been listening to lea salonga's version. and her voice is just excellent.

God....I wish that I could be one of those cruel, heartless, self-absorbed people that maintains relationships at the surface...never exposing too much of themselves for fear of revealing or exposing delicate nerves.
I wear my emotions on my proverbial sleeve...it's a shirt that I would never take off...let alone dare to launder. It's weathered, wrinkled, dirty, clean in some spots, and soiled with my blood...sweat...and tears. However, these days it's mostly saturated with my tears....and I wouldn't have it any other way. It feels good to feel...even though it hurts so damn much sometimes!

何維健- 我相信
我相信
第一次凝望你离开我的背影
就盼望立刻能够明天再相聚
不小心梦中让感觉能延续
模糊中你最清晰
** I believe in you
窥探那对迷人深情的眼睛
我的心留给你
我的人在附近
不必立刻做回应
不想爱得輕易
需要让你动情
因为怕妳会离去
想念让人窒息
所以不离不弃
每分钟都要和你亲近.

Put on my coat in the pouring rain
I saw a movie it just wasn't the same
'Cause it was happy and I was sad
It made me miss you oh so bad 'cause
Dreams last for so long
Even after you're gone
I know you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you.
-
I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead
I try and tell myself it'll be all right
I just shouldn't think anymore tonight 'cause
Dreams last for so long
Even after you're gone
I know you love me
And soon I know you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you
oh, here's an interesting article about playing hard to get.
i got it off msn today...

current mood : happy!
the office aunty gave me a very gosu bun. its really large... almost as large as an exactmat, and its got this burnt coffee kinda crust, and its sprinkled with pumpkin seeds.
its got some apple strudel-ly filling too.
she gave me half... she thinks i'm too skinny... and that i should eat more, especially in the mornings, so she gives me food and lots of nagging.
iono about you... but i kinda feel uneasy when people are nice to me.
maybe i've been abused to the extent that i find it weird when people are vaguely nice
so anyway... it was supposed to be BREAKFAST but i just finished it. yes its 5pm.
and and and
my mother decided that she's had enough of seeing me use plastic bottles (i was using a nalgene)
so last night when i filled up my nalgene and put it on the table then went to bathe, i came back to find this... heavy duty red stainless steel bottle in its place for me to take to my room.
eeeeek
its large and clanky.
OHH
and on sunday, my parents actually let me take the car out to see my grandma myself from church and go home myself.
those who don't know ME and my PARENTS and how my DAD feels about the CAR, well, you'd think its nothing much.
BUT if know just 50% of everything... THEN you'd be going "WOW" right now...
BECAUSE its the first time they let me take the car MYSELF - other than picking them up from the airport / sending them to the airport / sending my dad to the mrt when my mum doesnt want to at 6am.
it might be because my dad has my aunt's car with him now to use... so he CAN afford to let me take his baobei.
BUT STILL.
iono why its so exciting... but its exciting anyway. maybe cos mood now = happy.
***
eeks i just pasted over what i wrote...
anyway... i was saying that i needa retune by body clock before i DIE some kinda horrible death.
i think working late for the last 2-3 weeks... like 3-4-5-am kind has kinda screwed up my body clock.
ARGH.
its SO TOUGH to retune !!!

i needa write. again.
"That will do to explain my secret, as well as the other. I've no more business to marry Edgar Linton than I have to be in heaven; and if the wicked man in there, had not brought Heathcliff so low I shouldn't have thought of it. It would degrade me to marry Heathcliff now; so he shall never know how I love him; and that, not because he's handsome, Nelly, but because he's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same, and Linton's is as different as a moonbeam from lightning, or frost from fire."
***
beautifully phrased.
so succinct.
makes me weep.

it was a meow meow day yesterday with sora. =)

except we always woke up
Never thought not having you

Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up

And every night I miss you
I can just look up

its been a night of bming. lol... everywhere i go there's bming. good thing i'm such a polite fish and in a wacky mood.
i do intend to have an angsty, angry, lc ppl upside down day. in a room where i'm not blue of course. which probably means i'm gonna be in my smurf.
there are some days... like today, that i wonder whether i should be taking Lamictal because the symptoms of bipolar disorder seem to fit me so very well.
actually, it seems to fit most of my life very well. and if it affects 1 in 45 people, then well... its quite common actually!
if moods could be passed on by osmosis or something... that would be cool.
sometimes i do wish that someone else could just touch me and read my mind... or read my mood. and feel exactly what i'm feeling.
where is this need to be understood coming from?

[ 20072009 6.10pm | songgg ]
the current line that's multiplying in my head is from this song by dream theatre...
-
Once the stone
You're crawling under
Is lifted off your shoulders
Once the cloud that's raining
Over your head disappears
The noise that you'll hear
Is the crashing down of hollow years
She's not the kind of girl
You hear about
She'll never want another
She'll never be without
She'll give you all the signs
She'll tell you everything
Then turn around and walk away
-
i never really remembered the following stanza... but now that i've taken a look at it... its nice.
it says so much in so few words.
the abruptness of the sentence structure only reinforces the last line.
-
i think
there are a few things which i need to fix.
starting with myself.
i'm quite screwed up as a person. (there's not even an "i think" here)
*now another set of lyrics just popped into my head... AND ANOTHER.
indecent obsession
and
vertical horizon.
***
/needs long solo walk.
or at least... a quiet walk.
side by side...
matching paces.
stealthy glances
and accidental touches.
ruffling out hair
into the breeze...
downcast eyes
folded hands
hiding behind the wall of black.

这种感觉从来不曾有
左右每天思绪 每一次呼吸
心被占据 却苦无医
是你让我着了迷
给了甜蜜又保持距离
而你潇洒来去 玩爱情游戏
我一天天失去勇气 偏偏难了难忘记
单单为你心有独钟 因为爱过才知情多浓
浓得发痛在心中 痛全是感动
我是真的真的与众不同
真正为你心有独钟 因为有你世界变不同
笑我太傻太懵懂 或爱得在太重
只能相信我自己 能永远对你心独钟
well...
why do i write.
i write because i lack any other avenue to channel out all THIS.
i write, to fill a void.
i write... because i think better in wrtiting than speaking.
i write... because i can be obscure
and in my obscurity i manage to achieve my goals, which is to relieve... certain... pressures.
i write for the same reason why some people whine, and the reason why some people go for runs.
i need.
i really need.
why do i put it online? why do i not lock it?
because i believe its obscure enough for you to never know what i'm talking about. it might look so glaringly obvious... but actually... its no where near what you think.
and the reader... will never guess at the emotions going through the words.
and anyway... its really not like i'm some PERSONALITY or something. i'm just a... not so normal person - but a person who is just one of the many faces you see everyday.
i write... because i need. i really need. someone to listen.
someone. not anyone.
***
i realise that above all things, i require emotional support.
i can do... many things by physical and mental strength alone. but without emotional support... i'm as good as a castle on quicksand.
then again, i actually can't figure out if i'm weak or strong, or just... stubborn.
i'm very very sapped though.
steadily drained... for... years?
***
i just remembered this poem which i saw at anchorage; alaska.
it was on a box of... straws? in a cafe.
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
-- Elizabeth Barrett Browning
if i may... take this out of context... it makes a very good line.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
***
its been an amazing night. once again.
amazing because
my mood swings are on a rollercoaster ride.
i've gone from suicidal to giggling like a... like a i have no idea what.
to being rather... depressed? emo?
very amused.
angry as well.
happy too.
and a whole lot of other things which i will not elaborate on.
oh... and really needing to bm someone. anyone who happens to cross my path.
someone... please cross my path so i can bm you.
i've no respect for you, i'm so 'sorry' but its not working.
i'm also rather determined to be THE better person.
selectively, of course.

the creepy subconscious.
cold.
dead.
i didnt realise it... but it was the only thing left alive in me at that point in time.
it was beating... rather furiously... up to that point.
then... it just went silent.
and resumed a hollow... deliberate beat.
very hollow.
and very deliberate.
and very, very final.
like steps towards the gallows.
something that i didnt even know existed, died.
when i thought there was nothing left to kill, something more died.
-rip the rest bloody and senseless with my bare hands... cease to exist!-
:)
i get the best inspiration when my conscious brain is dead tired.
i think it allows my subconscious to come to the fore and take control for a while.
(which makes me ask myself... WHAT scary stuff is in my subconscious...? )
it might be interesting to write a book with each page just a paragraph like the one on top.
small snippets which pack a punch.
i feel... marilyn manson-ish~
***
OH! OH! i just remembered another bit of inspiration which struck me a while back.
let me get it out before i forget.
***
pinched between fingers on two corners...
hardly an expanse of white
little furry fibres, all bound together into a neat square.
pulling slowly... each pair of fingers in a different direction...
sometimes jerkily..
the tissue tears with a delicious sound, giving way under the opposing directions...
the wound is surprisingly straight.
but the edges are... ragged...
=\ song from leyawn.
nothing feels right when im not with you,
sick of this dress and these Jimmy Choos.

in bed i lay.
hey hey, nothing feels right when im not with you.

interesting fact #2 - she likes to talk to herself, especially when she's sleepy.)
err... its thursday? wow?
thats amazing. the last i knew, it was sunday and i was rushing out some work from home.
then i had 24 full hours of migraine due to my overstressed teeth grinding exercise when i took a nap without my NTI (thats like... a retainer of sorts... )
and it was a *concuss* kinda nap.
then... i actually can't remember what happened on tuesday...
OH i went home and chionged 8 games of dota. that was good. even though i'm beyond nerdlike.
and now... well... now i'm trying to clear my head before i leave the office, go home stone and try to sleep.
i have to remember to take my cab receipts.
i think i've forgotten 2 or three already.
-.-
the good part is, i get to claim day offs after this hellish period is over.
ahhhhhhhh in the distant ... monthhhhhh i seeee....
i see nothing... cos my brain is too fried.
anyhow. i may sound rather articulate here, writing, but i could almost swear that if you walked up to me now, IRL and asked me any question, i'd stammer out my answer to you like a kid infront of a principal.
i did that to my boss... and someone else in the office today. they asked me a question and i stared blankly back at them, THEN proceeded to stammer something unintelligible, which left them frowning and wondering about my mental state.
this hasnt happened to me in years... not since JC when i was mugging 14 hr days.
gosh. the brain stress.
its feels... good though.
like... how you'd feel after sprinting 2.4km.
in pain, but... good.
i would call a cab... but i'm scared i forget the receipt... and i don't really know how to / am too lazy to.
***
okok... yak yak yak.
how interesting can i get.
i've gotten a song today from the best song provider ever - leyawn.
he not only gives me the songs i WANT, he insists i have a new song a day (wtf?), based totally on his recommendation.
its like so exciting. its like having a blind date every mealtime.
(ok... blinddates DON'T sound exciting, to me at least... i'll never know what pushes YOUR buttons... but you get the picture... meeting something/someone and totally not being able to expect/pre-empt anything.)
so... today's was good. =D
as it usually is.
~
you warned me that you were gonna leave
i never thought you would really go
i was blind
but baby now i see
i broke your heart
but now i know...
that i was being such a fool
and i didnt deserve you
i don't wanna fall asleep
cos i don't know if i'll get up
and i don't want to cause a scene
but i'm dying without your love
i'm beggin' to hear your voice
tell me you love me too
cos i'd rather just be alone
if i know that i can't have you...
~
just to spam a few more trivialities...
i have a theory on backstabbing.
its called backstabbing, if you cannot repeat what you said to the person you were talking about.
and also if its discussed with some sort of ill-feeling, malice... yeah.
of course i'm guilty of that.
but usually i'm thick skinned enough to repeat things in front of the person.
***
and people on the tagboard... you all made my day man...
=D
*yeah yeah i know i sound kinda pathetic saying this.
maybe my brain has rewired itself... so that i find the most banal things amusing.
i guess it comes with staring at grey cubicle walls and monitors for ... 15 hours.
wtf.

sure, she loved again.
but it was never the same...
never with the same innocence and purity.
she still looks at the ring he gave her.
in fact, she wears it round her neck on a chain.
she likes the feel of it against her skin, under her shirt.
the reminder of promises that had once upon a time.....
how a look from him had her blushing so...
when all sensation left her, save for her fingertips, when he held her hand...
his lashes, light and ticklish under her lips...
-
the shattering of sensations as darkness closed in around her when he turned and didnt look back.
-
what she won't ever know
is that he wears her ring too...
round his neck, on a chain
where he can feel it next to his heart.
***

or is it NOT?!
either way you're welcome to check my neck for a chain. just ask first please... i don't appreciate being molested without warning.
(even with warning, you're liable to be mauled...)
