Writing Prompt - August : Music! [08/26/2011 at 8 am] [ mood | awake ] Okay, so this is probably going to be a ridiculously long and pointless entry. Please feel free to pass this up, as I’m just planning on waxing poetic on one of my favorite men in the world. Yes, you guessed it. Mister Darren Hayes. It goes along with the music theme for the month, right? Right. So… here we go. ( I fell in love with Savage Garden years ago… ) If you don’t read anything else in this entry, at least click on the link down here. Give the song a listen, let me know what you think. I think it’s fantastic, but then again… I’m slightly biased by my love for this man, ahaha. No, turn off the sun, take down the moon, for I don’t need them anymore. Go, switch off the stars and paint the sky black. Love isn’t ever coming back. There’s no use in imagining a world without you. Your love was like a drug I was addicted to. Cuz there’s nobody else who can hurt like you hurt me. I don’t want to be lonely. And there’s no other way, there’s no joy there’s no meaning. Just this hollowed out feeling. Now all the love’s gone and nothing grows here and I just feel wrong, so black out the sun and all that we shared will slowly disappear. There’s a hole where my soul used to grow, so just black out the sun. [28] Read • Comment • Edit

Whaaat. [06/04/2011 at 2 pm] That awkward moment when a guy carrying the complete collection of Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman hits on you in the library. Seriously. It happened, Brunswick. It happened. I was at the library to pick up a couple audio books that had come in. I put them on my iPod and listen to them at work when it's slow, or around the house when I'm cleaning or whatever. It's therapeutic, I enjoy audio books. But so I'm at the checkout counter, and then I turn to head to my car, and he runs right into me. Like, he had to walk to reach me, because he came from behind me. It was so weird. And he starts talking to me, but is staring at my chest the entire time. Awkward. And he's got this huge collection of dvds in his arms, and as he's talking I realize that it's Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman. Ahaha. How fucking awkward is that? He asked me to come out to get a coffee with him, but then I told him that I was happily in a relationship. I worked the fact that my amazing boyfriend is a big, beefy firefighter, and he got really flustered and left. Ahaha. Tell me a story about your awkward run-ins with guys/girls who try to hit on you! I'm genuinely interested, ahaha. [18] Read • Comment • Edit

Sigh. [04/27/2011 at 12 pm] I got to work last Wednesday and there was a little puppy huddled on the front step. I have no idea if someone put her there, or if she found her way there on her own, or what. I brought her in and gave her a little check-up. She’s very malnourished, showing obvious signs of neglect. It broke my heart. She was wearing a collar, so I called the number on the collar, but it was disconnected. It wouldn’t be the first time there was a puppy left on our doorstep because the owners were moving and didn’t want to bring the puppy with them. If that’s the case this time, I don’t even know. I took her for a walk, unleashed, to see if she was going to lead me anywhere, but she was just content to walk around. She’s so well behaved, I didn’t even need a leash with her, she didn’t run away, she didn’t run up to anyone. Despite the whole neglect & malnourishment, she’s very playful. She’s just a cute little homeless puppy in need of some love. It’s been a week and we haven’t heard anything, so I’m willing to bet that the previous owners are long gone by now. She’s been living in our office all week, and we’re not sure what we’re going to do with her. She’s doing much better as far as the malnourishment goes, mostly because we’ve been taking care of her here the way that people are supposed to care for their pets. Animal cruelty just makes me so fucking angry. Ugh. I’m getting pissed off just thinking about it. I’ve been thinking about just adopting her myself. I’ve become slightly attached to the little angel. But that’s a conversation I’ll have to have with my adoring, loving, extremely handsome, charming boyfriend that I love very, very much. The love of my life, future father of my children, and best boyfriend anyone could ever ask for. We’ll have to see. Anyway, Brunswick. What’s the worst part of your job? [54] Read • Comment • Edit

This world we're living in. [12/02/2010 at 2 am] [ mood | indescribable ] My mom's always telling me that I have too big of a heart. It's probably why I ended up in the profession I did. That, plus my ridiculous love for animals. I can't help that, it's just ... me. Ahaha. But sometimes I wish I was able to turn off the way I let things get to me. I made the mistake of listening to the news while I cleaned up after dinner tonight, just because it was on and I was too busy to change the channel. I never like to watch the news, it's too incredibly depressing, it makes me sad, angry, scared, so many different things. This world is such a horrible place now. And it got me thinking about the past. Not my past, mind you, but just the past in general. You watch movies about different times, where kids were able to play outside in their neighborhood with friends and come home when it started to get dark so that they could eat dinner. Nowadays, very few parents will let their kids just run off and play outside without someone watching them or knowing where they are, who they're with, when they'll be back, how to reach them. Because there are so many sickos out there that might try to hurt them. It's sad. I mean, take that father in Michigan, for instance. He decides that he's going to try and off himself, so he drops his three young boys off with some random woman he knows from the internet -- a woman that nobody can seem to even verify exists, by the way -- and now his three boys are missing, and nobody knows what happened to them. I heard them talking about that story today, and I can't even put my finger on how it made me feel. Upset, sad, angry, scared, furious. All of the above. I sat down tonight and started looking up articles about it, and the most recent one I can find says that they still haven't found those little boys. And it's been a week. How fucking depressing is that? I mean... I just can't even fathom. This entry got away from me. I didn't mean to ramble on for as long as I did about this shit. But I just don't understand what this world is coming to anymore. Is this the kind of world I want to bring kids into live in? [10] Read • Comment • Edit
