yeah

blogs
Who decided that the key to a successful blog is constantly updated? Would you rather read a thousand entries that I just took a piss, or read a couple of entries that could change your life?
quality over quantity people.

hypocrisy
I don't claim to be a non-hypocrite. I'm a human. I'm allowed to change my mind.

pain
When talking to my friend about the pain of a break up, I told him I'd rather have felt the year long pain after breaking up with my first love because it was life changing and taught me lessons I will never forget than not feel any pain at all
Later in the shower, I couldn't stop thinking about how scared I was to get my eyebrows waxed


there's different kinds of pain


the dead
What if those people who claim to hold the ability to speak to the dead are really murderers? Maybe they conned their way into getting victims to relay information they could turn into questions that only the victims closest family and friends would know the secret answers to.

convenience
You should never ever make something a part of your life out of convenience

irony
How ironic would it be if I died, and the things i treasured just about most in my life aside from pets and people, were my writings, all of which stemmed from my very first real break up. They're all password protected. Sure my files are backed up...but my computer is also password protected. Who do you think knows the password?

OMG I had two different sections about death. Please don't even start thinking I'm some sort of goth...have you seen my color scheme?!?!

Missing out

I think that a lot of you have been missing out on feeling extremely un-lonely. This because I have been afraid to write in my blog. Ever since pre-school I have had hardcore issues with copy-cats. Therefore, I will try to the best of my ability and have done so in my past posts, to cite whatever words I come across as the words of their original authors. No one under any circumstances may copy my personal words (usually uncited since they are my own) Nor may anyone under any circumstances copy my arrangement of cited and original material. All of these are punishable-by-law-conditions/terms of course, unless approved by myself for whoever as much as thinks about using anything published here as their own. Now that this bullshit is out of the way, here's what you've been missing out on.



Well, you're gonna have to read the next post because that's definitely not a "reader grasping" intro to a blog entry.

"Straight Up and Dirty"

I started reading "Straight Up and Dirty" by Stephanie Klein. As a writer, and a person who doesn't mind occasional constructive criticism, I'd like to say that I do like the plot line of this story so far. A girl in her late 20's, recently dumped by her fiance and life love, tries to get back into the dating scene. A realistic (as memoir's should be) story any girl who has been dumped at such a fragile time in life (wedding time) could relate to. However, I sometimes find her sentences to be a overly decorated. I often times try to write sentences to appeal to the audience as well. That's what writing is about. But it is also about knowing the balance between catching the writer's eye and over-feeding them with detail. Of course, this is my personal opinion and many of you may disagree. If you do, I'd love to hear it.
