Where I Should Be ...
Wallingford Ave N
I am walking towards downtown
and I feel that is where I should be.
Where I should be heading to.
I feel like I should be depressed, fighting
back tears, but I am not. I am elated,
and I haven't the slightest idea why.
I am tempted to keep walking, make
my way downtown, but I don't;
she would be angry.
N 40th St
The neighborhood I am walking through
feels like Phinney. It feels like Phinney
Ridge felt over a year ago, and I feel that
is where I should be. Where I should be
heading to. I am tempted to make my
way there, to sit outside of Red Mill; to
sit in the rain at the bark, holding the
hand of no
To steal the sky is an amazing feat. Many people can gaze up at the sky and feel its glory and wonder how it all came to be. But in order to steal the sky, the sky cannot be a common occurrence. Many people go through their days, their lives, without ever looking up at the sky with such awe as they would have had they never had a chance to be without the sky, without looking up and having stars surprise by shinging so brightly. Had they never had the chance to be awash with moonlight for the first time, would they appreciate the sky in the same way?

A Grim Kind of Ownership
Words cannot be owned, and yet. And yet, in a way, they can. Words can be fooled into ownership. Though words cannot really be owned, the meaning can. Speak the words, and own the meaning. Own that those words are yours, and once you've spoken, nothing and no one can take that from you. Words are intangible, and that is what makes them owned, and yet free from ownership. The pen truly is mightier than the sword. Take the pen, and you are still left with your words. Take thw sword, and you can still defend yourself with your words, while your conqueror has only taken a piece of metal with which to perpetrate violence that can be defeated with
Sometimes tears cam seem to be a gang, fighting you as you fight them. Yes, tears are most definitely a gang. You can tell by the way they are the bane of your existence, and yet, they still manage to find their way back to you. No matter how well you fight them off, howl long it as been since they have won, or how long it has been since you even gave them a thought, they will find you. Minutes, days, months, years later, they will come back, not to haunt you, but to take you back into their arms. Tears may be a gang, but they are kind and comforting, and above all, welcoming. Yes. A kind, comforting, welcoming gang of tears.
In response to the question: Is there such a thing as unconditional love?
No.
Love, in and of itself, is not unconditional.
There will always be conditions, limitations.
Things test our love.
No matter how pure the love may be, those tests can be too much.
No, love is not unconditional.
She pressed the up button on the elevator and it didnt light up. She pressed again, harder this time, and it still didnt light up. She spent a few minutes jabbing at both buttons before it dawned on her that, without electricity, the buttons wouldnt light up, nor would the elevator work. She trudged toward the stairs, and pulling open the heavy metal door, she began the long ascent up to the floors above.
As she continued up the stairs, flight after flight, with no doors opening onto other levels, she thought back and remembered a destroyed sign on the door. If only she had tried to read it.

I went walking and I found I had a million things to say. But when you came to see me I was full and naught. The words will not come right, I think I'm done with words. I think I'm done with trying hands at greatness. I am always in the middle, mediocre kid. My eyes are full with days as I struggle with hands behind my breast. The swelling in my lungs, I feel it here. I am tied down. I am tied down. I need to leave this place or I will lose my mind.
Can I find myself lifted? I sit in new corners of this all too familiar everyday and paint my hunger onto pastel pinups. My sketchpad fills with things I'll never be, persons and people I will ne

not your snowflake
i am not your snowflake
to be sniped to the shape that you see me as
i am not a paper chain
to be cut and taped back
like broken wish
i am not.
made of glass scream at the light post
shatterglass pick up the pieces
tie em as a necklace
to wear and think of you always
baby the shards
bite harder than you do
I watch you.
You with your group.
One once we shared.
Ahh, I must have fell for that so so love.
But what about me?
Where do I go?
Do I go to pray at the pane?
Or should I seek a new home?
That now wretched slum I once called home.
Now a desolate world of chaos that doesn't accept me.
"But why?" I ask.
Why haven't I learned from history.
It seems as though the darker days
Seek haunt me now.
You know well of this black hole.
Seen omens that are rather ominous.
Yet you shut me out,
one looking for a home.
You with your radical movements,
your extremist views.
You remain cold to many.
But what have I done to you?
Yes, I am
So I got home from Idaho yesterday, and I'm still really tired. Two days ago, my friend and I found this hill that was so beautiful, and we were there around sunset. Then I got this song from Boys Don't Cry stuck in my head, and it was just really moving. So then yesterday we got up really early and walked about a mile to the base of the hill. There were about two feet of snow on the ground, but at 24 degrees, the snow was so frozen that we could just walk right on top of it. We made our way to the top of the hill where we sat the night before, and just watched the sun rise and the fog over the lake rise, and it was just so f-ing amazing. I a
I have never before had one favourite band, but I do now. The Batteries are amazing! I went to the first night of Sound Off semifinals, and saw New Faces, The Dead are Judged, SouthGate, and the Batteries. And afterwards, I got a t-shirt and cd from the batteries, and I am über psyched to listen/wear. Sophie and I will probably fight over who gets to wear the shirt in Idaho... :-)
