art imitating life, life imitating art

hold up, hold on, don’t be scared

you’ll never change what’s been and gone. ’cause all of the stars are fading away, just try not to worry… you’ll see them someday. just take what you need and be on your way and stop crying your heart out. Meteors, they shower. The sky was so, so clear last night and the moon, though [...]

Okay, say that I help and you start a conversation, it goes great

“You like her, she likes you… you spend time together, feelings grow deeper and then one day, without even realizing it, you find you’re in love. Time stops and it feels like the whole world’s made for you two and you two alone… until the day one of you leaves and rips the still-beating heart [...]

[insert heartbeat here]

“When I was little, from what I recall, I wanted to be a detective, an artist, a comedian, and of course, Robocop. I’m pretty good at figuring things out. I’m decent at art stuff. I’m pretty damn funny if I don’t say so myself. And, well there is still chance for technology before I die [...]

tell a girl she can’t have something… she wants it even more.

Sometimes I wonder what it might feel like to actually speak or write the way I think. The cursing, the mediocrity, the absolute cartoon-like ridiculousness, the pause for… realization of said/written words, then the embarrassment. Sweet, yummy, redness flushing from bottom up. Cheeks hot to the touch and ready to hide under any readily available [...]

Take me now, subcreature

“At the end of the day, there are some things you just can’t help but talk about. Some things we just don’t want to hear, and some things we say because we can’t be silent any longer. Some things are more than what you say, they’re what you do. Some things you say cause there’s [...]

I believe whatever doesn’t kill you simply makes you… stranger.

“He just wasn’t funny, you know? That’s always been my problem, I think. Not smart or not funny. Or not smart and not funny. Or smart, but in a totally unappealing way like funny stupid or funny dopy, rather than funny witty, or funny irony or funny goofy. Or, you think they’re smart- and then [...]

word lusting on repeat

“Things need not have happened to be true. Tales and adventures are the shadow truths that will endure when mere facts are dust and ashes and forgotten.” Finally read yesterday’s horrors all the way through, they were so not good. We need a do-over. horrorscraping shimmy once, and do it again taurus It’s a real [...]

It’s amazing the clarity that comes with psychotic jealousy.

“I’ve heard that it’s possible to grow up… I’ve just never met anyone who’s actually done it. Without parents to defy, we break the rules we make for ourselves. We throw tantrums when things don’t go our way, we whisper secrets with our best friends in the dark, we look for comfort where we can [...]

I read recipes the way I read science fiction:

“I get to the end and say, ‘Well, that’s not gunna happen.’” Phobias are funny things. For example – Pteronophobia, the fear of being tickled by feathers. People are legitimately scared of things like this, so why is my fear of being sucked up into a twister like Dorothy seem strange to so many? Anyway, [...]
