Socially Speaking
Nope, nothing. Tons of random thoughts. Let’s just get them all out, shall we? Well, let me start with Facebook. I’ve got a bone to pick with it. It’s taken over a lot of communication. People don’t feel like they have to talk in person or on the phone anymore, because they’ve left a message […]
Points to Ponder ~ Essence

I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. - Maya Angelou
Maintain Safe Distance
September 27, 2011
I lost a friend once. I had asked her for advice related to a guy who was a little younger than me and wanted me to be his girlfriend. She told me to not go for it. The guy was very sweet and good to me–my reasons actually are immaterial to anyone else, or they […]
No More Masquerade
September 26, 2011
This Saturday I thought I’d do dinner with a friend. A male friend. The problem with some male friends is that they don’t seem to understand the meaning of the word “friend” and they don’t seem to want to respect that relationship. Unfortunately for me, I learned that a little late. You see, when a […]
Manoeuvre
September 25, 2011
A pot of ink, with it a quill Maybe, I think, that is what will Satisfy my dear little heart And help create a piece of art For I just cannot seem to find, To say that which is on my mind, Any words, none at all, to write Though I do try with all […]
Pitter-Patter, Pitter-Patter
September 23, 2011
It seems as though the rain has extinguished the sun’s fire, but the day must still be made the most of, and it’s good for: Sipping on warm coffee or hot tea, whichever’s your chosen source of caffeine, whilst gazing at the downpour or the misty drizzle, as the case may be. Organising bookshelves, lending […]
L’Astre du Jour Fait Boum!
September 23, 2011
Leaves, against dull skies of grey Gleam tangerine, russet and gold, Say, “Dreams must be set underway–” Lo–poof! voila!–et behold! A warm, cozy cup of un café au lait Maybe on a pretty little terrace: Five dreary, wintry months to wait For, perhaps, one month in Paris.. - Karishma

Besides the autumn poets sing, A few prosaic days A little this side of the snow And that side of the haze - Emily Dickinson, ‘Nature, XLIX’
Mirror in the Sky
September 21, 2011
I notice it when the sun doesn’t come streaming in my bedroom window at 6 o’clock in the morning, that absence telling me the day may not be filled with abundant sunshine. Instead I can see hints of a sky just turning blue. Sunshine, even when plentiful, may be treacherous for there may still be […]
Points to Ponder ~ The Spotless Mind
September 20, 2011
How happy is the blameless vestal’s lot! The world forgetting, by the world forgot. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! Each pray’r accepted, and each wish resign’d. - Alexander Pope Random, fleeting thoughts: Sometimes we do wish we could erase people and incidents from our mind, for if they don’t exist in our memories, they […]
How to Make a Clean Break
September 19, 2011
Perform a cleanse. If you feel your resolve weakening, don’t think too much about it. Act swiftly and click, or tap, or ignite. Look through your phonebook and delete the numbers of people you don’t want to talk to. Delete them so that you don’t get back in touch with them. With the memory that […]

I did not have three thousand pairs of shoes! I had one thousand and sixty. - Imelda Marcos
A Pair of Sonnets
September 16, 2011
Lovingly, she gazes, with a softness In her eyes; her smiling pink lips doth part Tenderly, as though in a state of bliss. Catching sight of a flash, her brown eyes dart– They look to the right with a fading smile… She knows she’s caught, now she’ll be forced to choose Just one, be torn […]
Emoticons Emote. They Just Do.
September 15, 2011
The text read: “Let’s do dinner on Sunday. I’m up late most nights anyway ;)” My thoughts: Uh, why exactly is there a wink after that statement? What the hell does this guy mean? What is he expecting? Maybe there’s something I need to clarify… Clarify, I did, and it turned out to be a […]

Dreams say what they mean, but they don’t say it in daytime language. - Gail Godwin
