you know me. always stolen words.

to you, lovely. always.


and to you. I really wish I had known you.

there is a world where emotion is prohibited. sometimes I wish for that world.

is it normal how we as humans are drawn to each other? I suppose, for we are.
it's interesting noticing *who we are drawn to, and how we so often ignore and forget those who we aren't drawn to. how we so often don't give people chances. we judge. and we never care to find out if we could have had a lifetime knowing that person.
it's interesting noticing those words. drawn to. like some invisible string connects our hearts.
and how sometimes that invisible string somehow contracts into itself, allowing life to bring us closer.
it's interesting noticing how often we rip those strings from our hearts, and separate ourselves from those we love. for whatever reason. any reason we see fit. any reason which forces us.

that feeling of..."I want to spend the rest of my life with this person."
that feeling when they say yes. or when they say no. when they say that they don't want you to ask. please, please don't ask, my love. they say this. and you feel something. what does it mean?

this is all just a jumble of thoughts in my head, oddly enough brought on by a scene in an episode of Heroes. none of it makes sense. but I've made this blog an outlet. so I use it.

it seems as though all humans should be connected. we're all the same. all of us in this world together. why don't we band together, why don't we help each other? why does it have to be everyone for themselves? I ask this, I want this, yet...I can't do it. I am angry with someone.
I know it's all in my head. I know I could be perfectly content with that person in my world. but for some reason, I refuse to. I think if I...allow myself to be okie with it, nothing will make sense. I'll be letting go. and at this moment, I can't do that. I'll sob and beg and laugh and pretend, but I won't let go. some things you can't...until time rusts away the memory. then only ashes remain.

there's no way I can put to words all these thoughts in my head tonight. some will be lost, some will appear on another page at another time.
at the end of the day, all I know is...I am. I am being breathed. I am a presence in this space at this time. and I continue.
my body aches, and my heart aches, but I know these invisible strings from my heart, the strong ones, the ones that waver, the ones that are nearly completely shattered, they are attached to some other amazing hearts. and without you, I wouldn't be. I love you.

it rained all night long. we'd thought it'd never stop. here in my little room we counted every drop...

I watched you sleeping
quietly in my bed
you don't know this now
but there's some things that need to be said
it's all that I can give
it's more than I can bear
but if I fall and hurt myself
would you know how to fix me
if I forgot who I am
would you please remind me
because without you things go hazy.


"my favorite body part is my heart because it is the only thing I have to give to stormy llewellyn.
furthermore, the beat of it, when I wake each morning, is my first best evidence that I have not, during the night, joined the community of the stubbornly lingering dead."


The Light shine on you.
And the Creator shelter you.
The last embrace of the mother welcome you home.

bad pictures, but pictures nonetheless...

sexy, no?

we're pretty much working on bills right now. eventually we'll get bookshelves, blinds, finish the ceiling, etc. but this is it right now. ;)

read from the lovely lady's book...

Arizona curled up with California. then she tried to hide the whole thing from New Mexico, who knew before he saw them making out in Yuma that she had been loving someone else new.
New Mexico has always hated California, though he knew that Arizona wore the pants. he got loaded and started throwing punches. The poor Injun never had a chance.



"A long December and there's reason to believe that maybe this year will be better than the last."

I must ask, is there reason?
and will there ever be a better or worse year than the last?

I suppose that is why there is a maybe, my love.
