General | Posted 15 years agoThis is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
Wake up in the morning, stumble on my life
Can't get no love without sacrifice
If anything should happen, I guess I wish you well
A little bit of heaven, but a little bit of hell
This is the hardest story that I've ever told
No hope, or love, or glory
Happy endings gone forever more
I feel as if I'm wasted
And I'm wastin' every day
This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.
2 o'clock in the morning, something's on my mind
Can't get no rest; keep walkin' around
If I pretend that nothin' ever went wrong, I can get to my sleep
I can think that we just carried on
This is the hardest story that I've ever told
No hope, or love, or glory
Happy endings gone forever more
I feel as if I'm wasted
And I'm wastin' every day
This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.
A Little bit of love, little bit of love
Little bit of love, little bit of love
This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
To live the rest of our life,
But not together.

In a way, I do hate you. You forced me to believe you. All these years, you told me you were sure we'd be together. That there would be our kiss, and our nights curled up together. And then you took it all away. After breaking down my skepticism for thirty-six months, getting me to trust in you. ..And you tore it right out of my fingers.
And you said I had 'no faith in you'? I put everything in you. Everything. Those weren't your words. That wasn't you. But you don't have the fucking human decency to call me on your own, without your little loli-princess holding your hand and spoon-feeding you her logic. Did you not think that calling me from the other woman's phone was an insult?
And don't you dare make me the villain, for wanting a love that's my own. For having a basic human need.
And the worst part of it is, I'm not going to recover. I was damaged when you found me, and I'm even more broken now. I have nothing. Literally. I can't role-play to ease the hurt, because every character I made was for you, or tied to you. I can't draw, because all of my art came from your mind. I can't sing, because every little piece of music on this monster I shared with you at some point.
Now, I have to walk through one of the scariest parts of my life alone. I don't know what's going to happen with me. If I'll find a new home, if my health is going to be okay.
And frankly, I don't want it to. I want it to be terminal, so I don't have to deal with this anymore. You won't be a bad story for the future, because there is none.
I love you. And I hope it burns you up at night.
A painfully fitting quote.
General | Posted 15 years ago"Do you know what love is?"
He considered the question. "I think I heard a song about it once."
"Love," I said, "is the rug they pull out from under you. Love is Lucy always lifting the football at the last second so that Charlie Brown falls on his ass. Love is something that every time you believe in it, it goes away. Love is for suckers."

General | Posted 15 years ago..I'm getting kicked out. The senile old bat stated: "You're horrible for my health."
Self-destruction.
General | Posted 15 years agoThe moment I said it,
The moment I opened my mouth
Lead in your eyelids,
Bulldozed the life out of me
I know what you're thinking,
But darling you're not thinking straight
Sadly things just happen we can't explain
Sit down, come round, I need you now
We'll work it all out together,
But we're getting nowhere tonight
Now sleep, I promise it'll all seem better,
Somehow in time
I'm losing you, I'm losing you
Trust me on this one
I've got a bad feeling,
Trust me on this one
You're gonna throw it all away
With no hesitation
I opened up to you, I shared things with you I've never offered anyone in my life.. and you ripped my heart out, and left me here to bleed.
Relationships: The only place where you get punished for telling the truth.
ps: you lied, you never said good-bye.

General | Posted 15 years ago“Textbook Statistics”
Arkaye Kierulf
On average, 5 people are born every second and 1.78 die.
So we’re ahead by 3.22, which is good, I think.
The average person will spend two weeks in his life
waiting for the traffic light to change.
Pubescent girls wait two to four years
for the tender lumps under their nipples to grow.
So the average adult has over 1,460 dreams a year,
laughs 15 times a day. Children, 385 more times.
So the average male adult mates 2,580 times with five different people
but falls in love only twice in his life—possibly
with the same person. Seventy-nine long years for each of us,
awakened to love in our twenties, so more or less
thirty years to love our two lovers each. And if, in a lifetime,
one walks a total of 13,640 miles by increments,
Where are you headed, traveler?
is a valid philosophical question to pose to a man, I think, along with
Why does the blood in your veins travel endlessly?
on account of those red cells flowing night and day
through the traffic of the blood vessels, which if laid out
in a straight line would be over 90,000 miles long.
The great Nile River in Egypt is 4,180 miles long.
The great circle of the earth’s equator is 24,903 miles.
Dividing this green earth among all of us
gives a hundred square feet of living space to each,
but our brains take only one square foot of it,
along with the 29 bones of the skull, so
if you look outside your window with your mind only,
why do you hear the housefly hum middle octave, key of F?
If you listen to the cat on the rug by the fire with
the 32 muscles in your ear, you will hear
100 different vocal sounds. Listen to the dog
wishing for your love: 10 different sounds.
If you think loneliness is beyond calculation,
think of the mole digging a tunnel underground
ninety-eight miles long to China
in one single night. If you think beauty escapes you
or your entire genealogical tree, consider the slug
with its four uneven noses, or the chameleon shifting colors
under an arbitrary light. Think of the deepest point
in the deepest ocean, the Marianas Trench in the Pacific,
do you think anyone’s sadness can be deeper? In 1681,
the last dodo bird died. In the 16th century,
Queen Elizabeth suffered from a fear of roses.
Anne Boleyn had six fingers. People fall in love
twice. The human heart beats 3 billion times — only — in a lifetime.
If you attempt to count all the stars in the galaxy, one
every second, it’ll take 3 thousand years, if you’re lucky.
As owls are the only birds that can see the color blue
the ocean is bluish, along with the sky and the eyes
of that boy who died alone by that little unnamed river
in your dreams one blue night of the war
of one of your lives. (Do you remember which one?)
Duration of World War 1: four years, 3 months, 14 days.
Duration of an equatorial sunset: 128 seconds, 142 tops.
A neuron’s impulse takes 1/1000 of a second,
a morning’s commute from Prospect Expressway
to the Brooklyn Bridge, about 90 minutes,
forty-five without traffic.
Time it takes for a flower to wilt after it’s cut from the stem: five days.
Time left our sun before it runs out of light: five billion years.
Hence the number of happy citizens under the red glow
of that sun: maybe 50% of us, 50% on good days, tops.
Number who are sad: maybe 70% on the good days—
especially on the good days. (The first emotion’s more intense, I think,
when caught up with the second.) So children grow faster in the summer,
their bright blue bodies expanding. The ocean, after all, is blue
which is why the sky now outside your window is bluish
expanding with the white of something beautiful, like clouds.
Fact: The world is a beautiful place—once in a while.
Another fact: We fall in love twice. Maybe more, if we’re lucky.

W.D. Snodgrass
No doubt this way is best.
No doubt in time I'd learn
To hate you like the rest
I once loved. Like an old
Shirt we unstitch and turn
Until it's all used out,
This too would turn cold.
No doubt...no doubt...
And yet who'd dare think so
And yet dare think? We've been
Through all this; we should know
That man the gods have curst
Can ask and always win
Love, as castaways get
Whole seas to cure their thirst.
And yet...and yet...
No use telling us love's
No use. Parched, cracked, the heart
Drains that love it loves
And still thirsts. We still care;
We're spared that. We're apart.
Tell me there's no excuse,
No sense to this despair...
No use...no use...

General | Posted 15 years agoSo play little player, you gotta contend?
And you can't blame your mother,
She's trying not to say I was the worst mistake
And I wish that I could tell you right now (...I love you)
But it looks like I won't be around
So you won't know...
You won't know...
You won't know...
You won't know...
So believe in me, believe them
You think I'll let you down
Well I won't
They can fire everything they've got
What do you think I've sunk?
I will float on (...and die)
I am fine to push your gun in my life
And know I'm scared as though I wouldn't act right..

General | Posted 15 years agoEven if we part ways, and never speak again. I'm going to love you. I'm going to keep dreaming about you. I'm going to struggle to sleep without your voice at night.
You will never been another notch in the belt of failed relationships.
You, unlike them, have left me better than you found me. And, you may very well be the love of my life. Maybe, you aren't meant to be mine. But at least you were here. You came in and lit up my existence--showed me the face of adoration and held me up through things I probably never would have survived. If you choose to walk away, then at least I can say I've seen you--know that you exist.
That isn't a terrible story to tell.
At this moment.
General | Posted 15 years ago"All I Have To Say For Myself"
Mindy Nettifee
The last time you came to see me
there were anchors in your eyes,
hardback books in your posture.
You were the five star general of sureness,
a crisp white tuxedo of a man.
I was fiddling with my worn coat pockets,
puffing false confidence ghosts in the cold January air.
My hands were shitty champagne flutes
brimming with cheap merlot.
I couldn’t touch you without ruining you,
so I didn’t touch you at all.
It's when you’re on the brink of something
that you lose your balance.
You told me that once.
When I can’t bring myself to say what I need to,
my heart plays Russian Roulette with my throat.
I swear I fired that night, but, nothing.
Someday, I’ll show you the bullet I had for you,
after time has done the wash.
I’ll take it out of the jar of missed opportunities.
We’ll hold it up to the light.
You’ll roll it around your mouth like a fallen tooth.
You won’t forgive me exactly,
but we’ll laugh about how small it is.
We’ll wonder how such a little thing
could ever have meant so much.

Medical Question.
General | Posted 15 years agoI'm a little scared right now; I found an unidentified 'lump' on my good ankle. Should I go to the ER for this? I don't have a Primary Care doctor yet, as I just moved to this area. I'm in a state of near-panic. Cancer runs rampant in my family; compounding the fear of it with my already sizable medical issues.. Yeah.
Anyone with iPod knowledge out there?
General | Posted 16 years agoI'm a sobbing fucking mess over this little hunk of plastic and metal. I got an iPod Classic a few years ago after my original Nano was stolen during a break-in. After a brief accident today, it's stopped working. It was running fine right after, however. Now, it won't do anything but sit on the Apple logo, or go into disk mode. The piece isn't showing up in my iTunes, and the computer can't do a hard-reset.
I'm just sitting here, crying, after trying every one of the supposed 'fix' methods. I managed to get it up and running for 15 seconds, before it crashed again. I can't afford to buy another one, either.. But music is my driving force in life. Without it, I can't make it through my day.

That Couples Meme- I AM A BAD LESBIAN. FFFF.
General | Posted 16 years ago1. Who eats more?
Probably me. Though, I really don't think it's any more than the average person-- I just eat one meal a day, which means the portion size is larger than the average dinner. If I eat breakfast in the morning, I get violently ill. And I'm usually working through lunch.
2. Who said “I love you” first?
wolflovestory did. I have issues with that phrase. People use it too freely, it's lost its meaning over the years.
3. Who is the morning person?
Neither of us are really 'morning people', but I think of the two of us, I handle it with a little more grace.
4. Who sings better?
Me, though I love it when he sings to me. For srs. He learned the whole little diddy from Darby O'Gill and the Little People just to sing it to me.
5. Who’s older?
I am. Not by much, tho'.
6. Who’s smarter?
I have more real-life and relationship experience than he does, but I largely believe he's got more book-smarts.
7. Whose temper is worse?
Mine. It's slow-burning, but once I ignite, it's all over.
8. Who does the laundry?
Since we don't live together yet, we do our own.
9. Who does the dishes?
See above.
10. Who sleeps on what side of the bed?
I like to sleep near the wall; it's a safety, comfort issue.
11. Whose feet are bigger?
His, though mine are pretty big for a woman.
12. Whose hair is longer?
His; it's down past his shoulders, mine is painfully short. A failed pixie-cut. Never trust hair stylists in Kentucky.
13. Who’s better with the computer?
We're about equal.
14. Do you have pets?
Not together.
15. Who pays the bills?
Despite me being employed, he's paid for more for me, than I have for him.
16. Who cooks dinner?
We don't live together yet, but probably me.
17. Who drives when you are together?
He's the man with the car.
18. Who pays when you go out to dinner?
Likely me!
19. Who’s the most stubborn?
Oh man. We're both equally stubborn. In the beginning, it was definitely him-- but over the years he's mellowed a little and become more open to other things. Right now, I'm the rigid one. Though, I largely blame stress.
20. Who is the first one to admit when they’re wrong?
Him, most certainly. I'm a Scorpio, we hate admitting to faults.
21. Whose family do you see more?
We don't live together, so we've never met the other's family. Long distance ftl.
22. Who named your pet?
We named our own.
23. Who kissed who first?
He admitted to it first.
24. Who asked who out?
Oh man. This is a complicated question. We didn't really officially become an 'item' until after Christmas, but we've been together for a few years. Our relationship has flowed up and down, in and out, of some seriously confusing, heart-wrenching, and gut-jerking circumstances.
25. What did you do on your first date?
The closest thing for us, to a date, is the nightly phone-cuddles. Seriously, I will nuzzle at my phone.
26. Who’s more sensitive?
He is.
27. Who’s taller?
Him! By three or four inches.
28. Who has more friends?
Another one of those subjective questions. He is definitely the more anti-social of the two of us, but he has a larger group of IRL friends than I do. I, however, have a huge amount of online buddies I spend hours chattering with.
29. Who has more siblings?
I do. I've five sisters and a brother, he has a younger brother.
30. Who wears the pants in the relationship?
I do, abso-fucking-lutely.
Probably me. Though, I really don't think it's any more than the average person-- I just eat one meal a day, which means the portion size is larger than the average dinner. If I eat breakfast in the morning, I get violently ill. And I'm usually working through lunch.

General | Posted 16 years agoI'm a huge fan of the Horror genre. I have been since childhood. Today, I've committed myself to watching the British Horror flick 'The Descent', which was absolutely terrifying. Very real, visceral, and dark. It featured a full-female cast, which is almost unheard of. The acting was amazing.
One of my favorites has always been both versions of The Ring, Dawn of the Dead, and The Devil's Backbone(In the original Spanish; the dub isn't nearly as good). I'm not sure the amazing Vampire-story Let The Right One In counts as horror, but I'm going to lump it in, simply because of how amazing it is.
What about you guys?
Note: I'm still open for PayWhatYouCan Commissions, so note me when interested.

General | Posted 16 years agoI'll take maybe three-- I'm best with humanoids, but I can try my hand at some furs. I desperately need that practice. Just keep in mind I'm best with the female figure, and 'buff'-sorta men.

General | Posted 16 years ago..Teach your children how to handle and approach stranger's pets.
It's NOT alright for your child to walk upto a stranger's dog and try to pet them. That is how almost 90% of dog bite incidents occur. It's one of the most common reasons children have emergency room visits.
Not all dogs are friendly, and children need to understand that. Likewise, if a strange animal approaches your child, you need to instruct them NOT to run, or scream-- but to stay calm and back away slowly, holding their ground and giving the animal space. Running from a dog only incites him to chase you, and increases defensive and aggressive behaviors.
I had an incident today with my large dog. I have a Border Collie/Pit Bull mix. He was a rescue case and extremely abused when I picked him up. For a while, he was so scared of people he wouldn't let anyone touch him. Now, he's come a long way. While shy of new people, he warms up quickly so long as you're quiet and calm.
Children, however, are another matter entirely.
I recently moved into a large townhouse apartment with my fiance--in the building next door, there's a family with six children. They're loud, destructive of our property, and general annoyances--but I had no problem with them until I caught the older kids of the group throwing rocks and bottles at my dog while he was on the tie-out. I don't put him on it often, but there are some beautiful days when he just needs to be outside.
I informed them coldly that the dog was protective of our home, and provoking him was not a good idea. For a while, they left him alone.
About a week later, once more, we found stones and broken class on the porch.
Now, my already shy dog is even more traumatized of children.
Earlier this evening, I was taking him outside for a walk. As soon as I opened the door, he lunged-- several of the neighbor children were rough-housing on our walkway. Naturally, as soon as he barked at them, they all screamed and began to run. Before I could get a good grip on the leash, he flew over and snapped at one of them; he didn't actually bite her, but he did put a hole in her pants.
Now, I'm probably going to have to muzzle him every time I take him out the door, because I can't trust these children to behave around a nervous animal.

Oh mah gawd, drah-ma!
General | Posted 16 years agoDon't you LOVE it when people dreg up bullshit that happened years ago? I, like most rational adults, just let things go and move on. But some people apparently don't possess the maturity to do that.
Birthday blues.
General | Posted 16 years agoMy birthday is this Tuesday, but because of how tight money is for my fiance and I, we can't even afford to buy a cake. It's more than a little depressing; I haven't been able to celebrate in years. A continuing trend, apparently.
