the best advice comes from the classics :)
we watched this movie tonight. Loved it.
if you can't say something nice...

This is what grief feels like. Your world doesn't have to come crashing down on a rainy day, or a Friday night.
And no matter how much pain you might be in, the world keeps moving on as if your pain doesn't exist, or worse, that it doesn't matter to them. (Unless, of course, you are Michael Jackson's folks :p)
And it isn't anyone's fault, it's just the way the world spins around.
What a wonderful yet sucky world.
1. To make you a "Better Man".
2. To have "Whatever It Is".
I love all that you are, everything about being married to you. I have no regrets, all hopes.
You make me the best woman I could ever hope to be.
And the most emo.
Obviously.

My most recent polyvore, inspired by Devil in the White City, by Erik Larson, which I am currently reading.
If you like mystery, nonfiction, history, or Chicago, you should pick the book up tomorrow from your nearest library and read it.

the takeover,
the sweeping insensitivity of this
still life..."

You Are Highly Expressive |
![]() You are dramatic, expressive, and even a bit temperamental. You are artistic and creative. You're always dabbling in something. You are very self-aware and introspective. You understand yourself well. You are on a constant journey in life, and you change frequently. You're a shapeshifter of sorts. |
no, mr. president.
How did this video affect you?
I know this video has a very distinct, one-sided argument. But everyone, even atheists, come from a particular worldview. Everyone has a different prejudice about the way things are and should be. Each point-of-view has a backdrop for how it came to be.
Perspectives, anyone? What do you think?

Make a polyvore today! It is a lot of fun.
I know mine aren't incredibly amazing, or at least not as astounding as others I have seen. But I am experimenting, learning, and growing in the art. Check out my page and create one yourself.
live together, die alone.
One need not be a chamber to be haunted;
One need not be a house;
The brain has corridors surpassing
Material place.
-Emily Dickinson
Everyone has those inward secrets they hide, to not be exposed; the tears they suppress, the fears no one else understands but them. Everyone suffers alone in some ways.
You need not be a chamber to be haunted.

I have a difficult time coming to terms with this. There seems to be so many storms; sometimes it seems like it will never stop raining. But when you think the rain will never stop falling, that you will never again see the sunshine, is the moment when you have to make a choice, though a hard one:
carry the burden of a heavy day or go outside and dance in it.

dream journal.
Have you ever had an dream full of epiphanies or one that would be an amazing plot idea for a story? Or maybe you've had an interesting dream you want to remember. One that included the meeting of a lost loved one, an angel, purple elephants, or Abraham Lincoln.
Record your dreams. It's fun and simple. Keeping a dream journal is as easy as having a dream, waking up, and writing it down before you forget what happened. I like to keep my dream journal on my nightstand so I can write the dreams down as soon as I wake up; the longer I put it off, the less details I remember!
In this Interweb blogged-up culture, there are even online sites dedicated to the recording and interpretations of dreams. You can keep a dream journal online here or here.
If you've always wanted to keep a journal, but don't know what to write or where to start, I suggest buying a notebook and starting a dream journal. See what happens. You might find that you have more to say than just writing down your dreams! Write down what you think they mean. Anything, as long as you are writing and keeping your mind going.
