barker
this trip home from barker was so picturesque tonight. seeing the world through the rain on the windshield, being temporarily pushed aside to make room for the new droplets, is almost like seeing the world through rose coloured glassed. i love the rain, and the cold, and the fog. it makes everything seem so cleansed, and it completely relaxing. my favourite part of driving down the freeway is the...
Heartbreak
racheladler: When you realize the romances you make up in your head Are made up in your head. Thankfully, this hasn’t happened to me yet. But by golly, it will. I have enough of them up there.
i am currently running a bath. I need a break from GTA4, and i realised that one way to do that was to curl up with a good book, in a hot bath. Besides, there are so many books that I have bought but never got around to reading, or got a little way in and then lost interest. A quick list of books I have just found: The Poisowood Bible - Barbara Kingsolver The Unbearable Lightness of Being -...
this weather, it is perfection. i drove home from the dvd store smiling, knowing that my night would be spent in bed, underneath two quilts with multiple pillows propping me up. windows, open. the sound of the rain pattering the concrete outside, and above, hammering on the tin roof. this is the weather for hot baths, hot tea, chocolate, dvds, and curling up under your quilt. and, occasionally,...

As I stare blankly into a computer screen for hours on end, sometimes I wonder if thereýs a secret message hidden in this technological maze. But the more I stare, the more I keep coming up with the same answer: I am trapped. Ahh. It is as if Eric Slate has encapsulated my life in this article. I feel, sometimes, as though I am a technoslave. If I leave my phone at home, i feel lost. If I...
“i can’t wait to jack a guys car, and then run over him with his own car”
– Tim. Discussing the release of GTA4 in 7 days. Me.. I just can’t wait to set myself up in a high place, take cover, and start killing people off with my sniper weapon. Or beating hookers up. Or whatever else there is to do in GTA. But really, who cares about the rest? It’s all white...
I think Mr Stidsten thinks I am six years old.
Me: i just got bitten by a mosquito
Tim: THAT BITCH!
Tim: Want me to come kill it? lol
Me: i would ask you too
Me: but i already did XD
Tim: LOL good girl ahaha
Me: but now i feel all itchy
Me: i wonder how many times it bit me
Tim: Aww :( hopefully no more than one lol. It was probably kissing you, rather than sucking your blood lol
Reece: didnt notice at all ash
Reece: he listens to that screaming music, wears the clothes style shoes, still hard to notice
Reece: hurrrr
Reece: but see, girls find him hott as so im right
Me: haha
Reece: its always the emos
Me: why don't you go emo?
Reece: cause yeah
Me: we'll dye your hair?
Reece: im a jedi
Reece: haha be mindful of your thoughts about the emo ash, they betray you
stupid xbox.
Lee made me hire mass effect for my xbox, since he decided that it doesn’t get enough use. I kept trying to tell him i’m just trying to wait for GTA4 (only 8 more days!), but he wanted me to get mass effect. He also wanted to get a look at it, cos it’s not out for pc yet, but he’s preordered it for when it has. I actually like it, and I like all the back story and side...
We're All Hot.
Ali: live on the edge
Ali: he's hot
Ali: your hot
Ali: we're all hot
Ali: let's all be hot together
Ali: ...not like that.
Me: You're*
.
hahaha. i love ali.
I wish I could fly, sometimes. I just read something about flying, and it made me think about it. Although, I’m sure wings would be sorta inconvenient. Maybe I could just.. glide. Like in DragonBallZ.
Umm, Hello?... Is this thing recording?
bencrossley: Hey there! Ben Crossley here, writing some random post to no one in particular. That’s the strangest thing about all this - that I’m not writing to anyone in particular. I’ve never really been one to keep a personal diary. But we’ll wait and see what happens. There’s potential at least. Oh yeah, and why am I starting this thing in the first place? Well put simply, Ash. She...
Hey Tumblr team,
amwelles: Could you let us have descriptions for conversations, similar to descriptions for links? I second this motion.
we climbed rocks all day, no particular destination really, except higher than we currently were. the sun fancied our bare arms as we shook hands with the sharp ledges high above our heads reaching the top we laid flat facing the blue sky our hands shielding our eyes we talked about the silence here and smoked a joint, for no particular reason except to be higher than we currently were. -Jordan...

“During a two and a half hour Santa Claus Parade in downtown Toronto, in the...”
– Joanne Violante - via adbusters magazine. I love this small story, and the feelings that it inspires. I’m not all that impressed or swayed by the social norms anyway (eating at the ‘right’ places, shopping at the ‘right’ places), probably due to a couple of years...
“I am always in love, she said. I’m in love with the greengrocer,
the...”
– Forget Magazine. An article entitled, ‘The Only Way to Live’. Do you not agree? Everyone should live their lives with this much love.
argh. I can’t settle on a theme that i like. very, very frustrating. There are so little themes available! When compared, to say, myspace. And I don’t even WANT a theme on my space. sigh.
these words might be too little, too late.
Direction, anyone? Anyone at all willing to provide it to me? because i can’t find it by myself. I know, I’m only young, yada yada. But I feel lost at the moment, not knowing what comes after this year. Sure, university is there, but is that what i really want? But then again, what would i do if not that? there’s something else though that I’m trying so desperately to...
a sidenote: i’m really liking the slight changes to my dashboard. more streamlined, more pretty. i just like it.
i need.
guts. i know i do. ali tells me i do. but i’m not certain about anything, and that makes me scared. no one wants to make a fool of themselves, least of all me. i do that often enough, without being fueled by anything. but as much as i try to talk myself out of it, i can’t. give me a few more weeks. build up my confidence. ok, ali? :)
