Ohh Nooo!

I meditated for too long and my thoughts got too deep.
Sweetness is home now, she ended up not going to the mall with said co-worker.
Do they have online psychiatrists? I think I need one. Just to help me sort out some things I think. Otherwise, I think that session was successful. For future reference, listening to the Zelda CD did not help. See you soon.

Jealousy

I found this "article" on one of my favorite "reference" websites. I put these words in quotes because they aren't legitimate sources for this information, but because it's hard to find such things. I use my gut instincts.

The Theory of Jealousy
(clicking this link will open a new window, FYI)

It's pretty good, if I do say so myself. The author of this "article" also has a lot of other helpful things on topics I'm highly curious about. I'm going to meditate further (while listening to my The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary Symphony  CD!! :D) on this subject. If I find anything else to toss your way, I'll try to remember to post it.

Sweetness is at the mall with a co-worker. So I have time.She captures my attention completely when she's around, so that makes it difficult to meditate then. I'll get it out of the way while she's busy.

Dark Outside

Starbucks tonight isn't lonely. I'm sitting here with Sweetness, so much closer to home. I have a feeling that this is not a good study environment for her, however. She seems to get distracted really easily, and she can't seem to quite resist the temptation of buying a delicious drink! Its okay though, she'll get used to it. We'll be coming here pretty often, since Sweet has an online class and we don't have Wi-Fi at home. Very depressing. It's warm in here though, and basically within walking distance (if we didn't have to carry all our stuff too!) Anyway.

    How have you all been? Are your new years resolutions working out? I didn't make one out loud. But I think I secretly want to try and write more this year. I've been trying to find the time to. It looks like the weekends and my time after blogging is going to have to do. I could get up a little earlier and start before the baby comes, then I can start back up during naps (maybe) and after he leaves. I don't know if all that will work. My brain seems to get jammed up a lot. But if I keep at it and do regular exercises (the mental kind) then hopefully I can get the Guys to stop harping at me. Because honestly, gentlemen, you're not helping. You're just making it harder to hear my own thoughts.
     I almost wish I could post pieces of my works on my blog, so the masses could give me some sort of feedback. But then I run the risk of thieves. And nobody likes those guys :(. Damn idea stealers! It's kind of sucky, not being able to share my works in progress with you. If it was just a fanfiction or something, then it wouldn't be a big deal. (on that note, I haven't written fanfiction in a long time!) But I plan to make money off of it someday, so no internet publicity for me. *shrugs* Oh well.

I think this Starbucks has more artwork than the other one does. I figured out another perk to blogging all the time, it increases my typing speed! Do you know how fast I could type if I did this like, everyday? It would be insane! lol I'll try to keep you updated on that! (among other things)
There are a lot of asides in this post...

Sweetness is accident prone. I thought you should know. And on top of that, her cousin is teaching her how to fight. Bruce Lee style, I guess. I'm not a fighter. In anyway, really. So it doesn't really interest me. But it makes Sweetness happy for me to be interested in what she's doing. And it isn't terribly boring. But I prefer learning about the mental aspects and she prefers the physical. I figure because she's so small, its probably a good thing that she learns. Later in life, when I have daughters, I want to enroll them in some sort of self-defense class. I think it would be good for their self-esteem. I also want to enroll the boys in a dance class, to show them that they can do anything. Their world doesn't have to be gender divided. Hehe I have big dreams for my progeny. Good luck with that, hm?

Well, I think I ought to go try and write now. OR find a prompt to get the juices flowing. Oooh. That automatically became sexual in my head. Hahahaha "juices flowing" Woo. Funny. Don't laugh out loud to yourself, Mercy. It's weird. Off I go! (hopefully @_@)

P.S: Tonight reminds me more of Christmas Eve, than Chrsitmas Eve.

Betwixt

Hello! How was your New Year's? Mine was awesome. I played video games with Sweetness and a few friends, drank apple cider and had a good time. New Year's day, we went to the club, and danced the night away. I have acquired the following games:
1. Viva Pinata (I LOVE THIS GAME)
2. The Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword
3.Skyrim
4. Just Dance 3

I have to say, it's a pretty decent haul. I'm going to trade in Skyrim though and use my 20% off birthday coupon to get something else. (Hopefully Mortal Kombat but we'll see.)
Valentine's day is the next major holiday I think. Unless Mardi Gras comes first. But in either case I'm getting my Sweetness some gifts. I really want to get her jewelery, but I know that she needs clothes.Or some new tennis shoes. I was thinking about it yesterday while we were at the mall, but it'll depend on if i have money or not. Hmmm, hopefully my mom will be able to toss some money my way for watching the boy.  If I can stand to save it, then I'll be able to get her things for the upcoming holidays.
What are you getting your partner for V-day? Try to get them one thing they need and one thing they want. That way you touch both bases and they can't be mad! It's clever, I know. I have to do big things for Sweetness this year, because I couldn't do much for her birthday. Which reminds me, I have to check ticket prices for flights to South Carolina. Sweetness and I are going this summer to visit my Dad and family.I hope to pop down to New Orleans too, but we'll see how much it costs. I want to take her traveling, I really do. And she's always wanted to go. Someday I'm going to take her to Europe and hit all the places she's dreamed of going. Italy, France, Ireland, Scotland, Greece. Everywhere. Someday, Sweetness, I promise.
Well, I've got to go now and check those prices. See you again soon, blog flowers.

P.S: Thank you Sweetness, for everything you do for me. I love you.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year's Eve, everyone. See you on the other side :)

Sunny Spot

Do you ever find yourself taking a cat nap in a spot of sun shining through the window? All the warmth and deliciousness of the sun without the burning! lol UV rays don't go through glass, so you can't get burned or tan that way. Cool huh? Anyways, how are you all? You're probably curious as to how my presentation went today. I'll tell you!
It didn't.
That's right. I didn't go. I didn't even do the tri-fold at all. I know, I know. I'm just as sad as you are. I was going to do it. In all honesty I was. But, idk i figured it isn't worth it anyway. I mean, what does it matter? I'm just gonna have to take all these classes again. So whats the point of doing all the hard work for it? That doesn't make sense. Besides, i need to focus on getting an evening job so I can start saving money to get an apartment for Sweetness and I. She hates living with my grandmother, and to be honest I do to. But I'm so used to it, I guess I just don't care anymore. My mom lived with her for years. So I feel like it'll take me that long to get out too. Sweetness won't allow that though. I'm always curious to see how far she'll go before dropping me. I'm dead weight in her life, so it'll be interesting to see hoe far she's willing to go. I'll try to keep you updated in that front if anything changes.
I think its cute that every store is playing Christmas music. I'm sitting in Starbucks like "la la la la! Doo dee doo doo! Jingles merry bells christmas yaaay!" Rocking and stuff. Luckily, no one cares so, its okay. Sweetness has a final today too. So She's busy. I'm gonna go fool around online now.

Brown Cow

Don't ask me about the random animal titles. It's just what comes to me, yeah? We're leaving soon. Sweetness has an interview for a job she doesn't want. It's a job though, that will give her more hours (thus more money) than the one she has now. So...anyways. I'll be back. Like, monday. Or something.

Blue-Bird

I realized something, ladies and gentlemen. I completely forgot to put Pikachu/Zelda paraphernalia on my Christmas list! How sad and tragic! Oh well, I don't actually expect to get anything I wished for anyways.This blog is going to be short, I decided. Cause I don't think I can think of anything to say really. I'll probably skate over to Lowe's for no reason. I'm hungry, and broke. So thats too bad. I've got like fifteen dollars, but that is a pitiful amount of money. Cause usually when people say "I've got fifteen dollars" they mean I have fifteen dollars on me. I literally have fifteen dollars to my name. Right now. It's sad. In any case, I'm getting tired of listening to these med students study, so I'll be going. Hop over to Sweetness's blog and wish her a late happy birthday. She'll appreciate it.

Sleepy,

Happy Birthday, Sweetness.

Sweetness, I want you to know how much I love you. You are such a beautiful woman and I am so grateful that I have gotten to stick around and watch you grow more and more beautiful each and everyday. I love to watch you flourish and spread tentative wings, it pains me to watch you struggle and get frustrated, but know that I will always be around to help you through it all. I'll be here for you as long as you need me, Sweetness. I promise. I love you. Happy Birthday, my love.
 
Starbucks is full of people today. I had to ask a gentleman if I could sit next to him. He didn't mind, and here I sit. I purchased a Christmas gift for Sweetness and Pooka. By some strange miracle I had like, $20 extra dollars in my bank account. Merry Christmas to me! Of course, I only got them one gift each, but that should be enough. I got gifts for the most important people in my life.

Sweetness turned 20 today. 

She's in class though, and I don't know what we're gonna do when we get out, since I'm broke and so is she. I wish I could have bought her a present for her birthday. But hopefully what I did buy will get here just in time for it to be a half and half present. Half birthday half Christmas. I just hope she likes it. I don't know anything about it. But Amazon has never done me wrong before. I'm counting on no one else getting her any. Cause if they do, mine will look really cheap and sad. Oh wells.

Okay! So I did something cool (aka FUCKIN SCARY AS HELL) today. I drove Sweetness's car to Starbucks! Now most of your are probably like, "well why is that a big deal? You're a grown ass woman." That's not the point. The point, my flowers, is that I do not have my license. And I've never driven alone before. See, Sweetness was going to be late for class so she told me to drive the car to Lowes. Which is more or less, just across the intersection. I, however, being terribly nervous and inexperienced, got in the far left lane. I didn't know that left lane means turn, but I figured it out. So I drove down what I believe is the highway, flipped a u-turn, hit the wrong pedal (luckily there was no one behind me) and came to a dead stop in the middle of the highway, then gunned it for the light, passed two cops (both of which btw didn't give a damn about me), drove into Lowe's parking lot and parked as close to Starbucks as I could. (long sentence) So thats what I did this morning. Right after deciding what Sweetness was going to wear today as her birthday outfit.I decked her out I think, and if I had more time, I would have done her make-up and flipped her hair. She looks hot when its like that. She likes it. Thats all that matters.

Starbucks is emptying out. there's only like four people in here now, (not including me), compared to the original ten or so. And this is not a very big Starbucks. Anyway, it's warm and cozy so I don't care. I kind of prefer the background chatter that comes with a bunch of people being in here. Its nice. I want to own my own coffee shop someday.

Alright, this time, I'm really going to write. Yesterday I got on Gaia (www.gaiaonline.com)and spent all my time there. It's sort of addicting. But today I promise I won't. I will check my email though. And that's it! I swear. ;)

Happy Birthday, Sweetness,

Sacred Secret

Baby, It's Cold Outside

Seriously, it might as well snow. Here I am, in Starbucks again, while Sweetness is in class. My cock-sucking whore bitch of an "aunt" (parenthesis because I refuse to claim her as family)is at my house, so instead of going home and chillin and getting warm and cozy with a cup of Sweetness's coffee and a book, I'm at the coffee shop. Now, as I've said before I enjoy being at the shop, because it makes me feel true to my craft. But that's not the point. Oh well. You know what? I need to get out of Washington. I need to jump ship like Kelsie. Except, if I go, I'm taking my woman. She's the only sane person I fucking know. I could live with Sweetness. Matter-of-fact, I live with her now! I could easily move in somewhere with her. No problem. We occasionally have our fights, but that happens. Nothing too big or unbearable. We're pretty symbiotic now. I'm happy with where we are.

Anyway, I gotta figure out how to talk about something else. I'm really sleepy and cold.I want a coffee, but I promised Sweetness that I'd buy her one for her birthday (tomorrow) so I can't. I love spending money on her, and I think she knows it lol. Of course, she feels bad whenever I do it, but I don't mind. She lights up like a kid, and gets all smiley and stuff. Its adorable, and highly addicting. I
can't help myself. Its a bad habit for my wallet. But caring is sharing, isn't it?
I did it again.

So, I'm going to try writing in this environment. The Society suffers when I'm in contact with the internet. Its another bad habit. I can't seem to focus on what I'm supposed to be doing if I have the internet. For instance, I'm blogging when I should be filling out applications, or writing, or something like that. But blogging is sort of relaxing. Kind of like the Internets form of meditation. I can vent to you and you won't give a damn. Mainly because you don't care, but also because someone, somewhere out there, understands. And I think that's part of the allure of the internet. You're not alone. Ever. No matter what you're interests are, no matter what time it is where you are. There is someone on the same site as you, some one searching what you're searching, someone feeling how you're feeling. and it makes the world a closer place. A single unit like I'm sure many people have dreamed that it could be. Kudos, inventor of the internet.You made the world a arguably better place.

I'm gonna go now, probably do something I shouldn't. Tootles.

Happy Holidays,

Sacred Secret

222

So, I'm at Sweet's today. I'm going to work on my homework later, but for now I'm blogging. Sweetness seems to be slightly annoyed by my current thread of blogging. (Sorry, Sweet) but she'll be okay. I like it. Also, I have a question. If in the case that two switches were in a relationship how would they go about switching properly? Especially if they were both more sub than Dom? I have quite the conundrum. I'm just asking out of curiosity. If you have advice, hit me up.

Love You,

On the continue...

So like I was saying, pictures, true? Bento for you, so you know what to look for when you send me cool pictures of it. lol

These are pictures of Bento I DID NOT MAKE. I commandeered them from Google.If these pictures are yours, let me know and I'll add your URL to the post. no big deals. So how is the rest of your day? I'm watching Sweetness's cousin play Batman: Arkham City. Its pretty rad. Pick it up.

Friday's Release

So, today is Friday, December 2nd. How are you going to spend yours? I'm going to head over to Sweetness's place later today. She's driving, of course. I don't mind her driving. Lol to be honest, I kind of like having her drive me places. That way I don't have to worry about it myself. There are the occasional questions of which way to go or whats the speed limit here, but I take these as more rhetorical questions than anything else. I don't think she really requires my input, but then again, I could be wrong.
Oh! Okay so I have to share with you my new love for Bento. I find them to be completely irresistible. I'll post pictures later. Either this afternoon/evening or sometime this weekend. If you don't know what Bento is right now, and want to know, you should check out this blog!
Either http://justbento.com/
Or http://happylittlebento.blogspot.com/
Both of these sites I find to be ADORABLE. You don't have to. But I do. Speaking of cute and cuddly, what is your favorite animal? Have you ever thought about it? If you've attended a public school, probably. I think its one of the most common questions you get asked in school "ice-breakers". (Sweetness HATES those, by the way) You know within the first week or so of school the whole class gets up and has to play some sort of "Hi, my name is" game. They're usually boring and too long for my tastes. How come they can't think of something fun to do to get us to know each other?
It's things like that, that make me want to become a teacher. So I can change the way we play "ice-breaker" games. :) Is that a silly reason for wanting to become an educator?
That's alright. I think my real reason is because most of my role-models as a child were Teachers. Or knew Teachers. Or worked for Teachers. I was surrounded by educators and yet, I'm pretty average in intelligence. I think I got jipped. Let me re-do my childhood! I wanna go back and be smarter!!
At least, that's how I feel about it anyways. I could be wrong. Maybe its a subconscious thing. Maybe it's not just the fact that I grew up around Teachers but more along the lines that I want to be better than all those Teachers. Like I watched them all do it wrong, so I know I can do better. Unfortunately, I need all of those Teachers to teach me how to teach. So maybe I'll turn out just like them....
Ew.
That would be completely against the point!
Whatever. I can't let stuff like this drag me down. I'm very optimistic today. The Voices are being very active. Keeping me entertained and what-what.
Sweetness's birthday is in four (4) days. I don't have any money, so I can't get her anything. I was thinking of buying her a ******, except for that their really expensive and I'd have to order it online. Then it would be late. So I'm going to help make her a cake. I'll post a picture of what we want it to look like after I make it, so Sweetness can't get on here and know before she's supposed to. I also want to post pictures of her with her gift, except I don't think she'll want me to. They'll probably only make it to Facebook. Which is dumb, because that site gets a bajillion times more traffic than my lil' ol' blog. And I think all of you should see Sweetness with her 20th birthday present. I really can't wait. It's going to be a mildly stressful weekend. Not this weekend though. Next weekend. The 10th and 11th. Hopefully. If things don't change. Again. -__-...Because stuff like that has a tendency to happen because SOME PEOPLE can't tell people what their doing, when their doing it. Sooo we gotta be reeaaaal flexible like, ya feel me? I was really hoping I'd be able to buy her Lover Reborn (http://www.jrward.com/bdb/) but it isn't out yet and I don't think I can pre-order it. I'll look into it more though and see. If I can, maybe it will suffice for her birthday and then I only have to worry about Christmas. I told her I wasn't going to get her anything, but we both know thats a lie. (side note, Lover Reborn comes out March 27th, so the likelihood that I can pre-order it now is slim. Maybe if I save my money...) Anyway, what do you think I should get her? I can't get her something she really wants, because I don't have that kind of cash-ola. So, I'm kind of screwed in that department. I'm at a loss. But I'll keep trying! Maybe I can just buy her a hot chocolate the day of, and give her a massage? lol super kiss-up-cause-i-didn't-buy-you-anything, but thats fine. I hope. Either way, I'll make it up to her.
I gotta go do other things now, see you soon, my blogger friends.

S-E-X..In Video Games

This'll be short, cause I'm supposed to be working on my paper, and Sweetness will kill me if I spend too long here. My day has been going alright. I'm re-finding my love for blogging. Which is good for all of you, not that there's A LOT of you or anything. I'm just saying in general. Its deceptively cold outside. The sun is shining but its freezing. Do you have days like that where you are?

Coffee Shop

So, here I am. Sitting in Starbucks, blogging. It's weird how easy it is to write when you know that no one else gives a shit about what you're doing on your computer because their too busy doing whatever it their doing on their computers. LOL That was a dumb sentence.The only downside to sitting in here is that I am reeeaaallllly tempted to buy a coffee or something. It's such a pleasant atmosphere. I wish I had a little coffee shop, not necessarily Starbucks, near me at my house. One I could just drop in to at any time and chill.Not to say I can't chill at my own house, but it's just more fun to do it somewhere else. Somewhere I don't have to worry about my friends or family needing something. Somewhere that I can people watch, and sip coffee and let the voices of my guys talk to me in their own pace. Usually I'm rushing them, or prodding them to speak and when you do that, they don't sound genuine. It just sounds...quick. And writing, novel writing, doesn't respond well to that rushed thing. They get kind of mad. At least, my guys do. They get all grumbly and warrior like. Actually, it's almost childlike. But only some of them do that. Some of them are willing to talk whenever I need them too. And others still only talk when they want to, so when they do I have to jot down some notes before they either stop or I forget. It's kind of hectic. I wish I could designate the times they talked. I could try to set a time to encourage them. Like If I sat down every other day at four o clock and set my fingers on the keys, maybe they would get the hint after a while that I'm willing to set aside time to listen to them.
Not to say that I'm not. Because I love listening to whatever they have to say, whenever they feel the urge to say it. I love talking with them. It spices up my otherwise boring life. Anyway, I ought to use this time to actually listen to the guys, instead of blogging.

Streaming...1, 2, 3...

This time, I don't have a prompt. There's nothing in particular that I want to say. I just thought I should blog to waste some time. I'm sitting in the Library. Waiting on Sweetness. I didn't bring my laptop, so I can't write. I haven't moved my writing to a flash drive yet. I could read my book, but I don't really want to. I could be doodling, or writing random stuff. But its rare that you get a computer in the Library so I'm just gonna chill here until I can't think of anything else to do.
I know what I should be doing. I should be in ASL right now. But I've missed a week and a half of that class, and I will be SO lost when I go back, that I just...I just don't want to. Do you ever get that displaced feeling like you're walking into a room of people that know each other really well? I do. All the time. Even if I know I'm walking into a place where no one knows anyone. I just feel like everyone has a friend somewhere and I am alone. My social ties are so skewed. Sweetness is really my only link to the "outside". Other than her, if it weren't for my occasional access to the internet I think I'd be considered a Hermit.
I can't say I really mind though. lol I know Sweetness doesn't. I enjoy staying at home and playing Video games and listening to Sweetness tell me about her day. I tend to take the masculine role in the relationship, but there is hardly anything I enjoy more than staying home and waiting for her to come back. I don't really like to get up every morning and go out into the world. I'd rather go at night, when no one is around except the occasional person, who, like me is expecting hardly a soul to be out. I think I'm gonna need to work the night shift! Except, Sweetness would have to sleep alone, and we can not have that. Sweetness tends to have bad dreams when she sleeps alone, and I hate it when I can't console her. It makes me feel awful.
Now that I think about it, I probably define "awful" differently than you do. I think of it more like a sense of failure than a real emotion. It's hard for me to describe emotions or feelings at all. I know I have them, Sweetness says I do. But I feel more apathetic than everyone else. Sweetness worries about everyone, she's very generous that way, and she experiences sadness and pain and joy and elation. I...don't. I just don't. I don't think I feel things the same way.
I know. I know. You're thinking "DUH! No one feels or thinks the same way!" But thats not what I mean.
I'm saying I don't think I feel. I don't acknowledge emotions, and the ones I'm forced to acknowledge I resent. I abhor feeling anger. That is the one I hate the most. It is a useless emotion, that gets you nowhere. It's only use is violence and I don't particularly believe in the use of that either. The other emotion I hate? Sadness. I feel it occasionally. As you know, I loathe crying. I do it more now, and I feel like I have Sweetness to blame. Stupid things are making me tear up. I don't understand. And not necessarily "tear up" that isn't the right one. Its just that stupid sting in your sinuses, you know? Kind of like you're going to sneeze, but it shoots up into you're eyes instead.
Obnoxious.
I shove these emotions away. I do it quickly and effectively. The only way my methods fail is if it has something to do with Sweetness. She unravels all of my defenses and drops them at my feet like they never existed in the first place. So I'm beginning to get the hint that I should just stop trying. But since I've grown up this way, with a barriers in place against everything and everyone, its extremely difficult to break them down myself.
I have barriers up around everyone. No one gets too close, except for those that bulldoze their way in. The moment that person betrays me, however...Barrier. You're no longer within my inner gates. And it's going to take you a very long time to get back in. Sweetness has made it to the inner walls I think, and she's chipping away at the final wall. The last thing keeping me from being insane about her.

That is dangerous.

I can't allow myself to get that tied up into Sweetness. Don't get me wrong. I love and adore my Sweetness. She is a brilliant light in my life that I respect and admire. I always have. I would do anything for her, willingly or not. And there is nothing I would not get for her if she asked. Matter of fact, I have a running list of things I plan to get for her as soon as I get a job. An Apartment being top on the list.
Yes, I do toss in the occasional thing for myself. A game, a pair of pants, food. Whatever. But most of my earnings will go toward whatever she wants. I'm in that deep.
But I cannot allow myself to get in any deeper. I won't. Especially if I know that Sweetness will want to marry a man someday, and have a "traditional" family. She wants kids and some dogs in a relatively large house. With a fence and a large backyard. She probably wants a pool, too. But I will never be able to provide those things for her. I know this. I've come to terms with it. And I know, on the inside, she has too. And of course it will hurt when we part, but we'll never stop loving each other, or being around each other. It will just mean that this section of our lives has come to a close. I do not look forward to this day. And yet...I do. I hope to see Sweetness get married in the wedding of her dreams to a man she trusts and loves. That would make me happy. Because it would make her happy. I'll stand by her side until I can't stand anymore. And then I'll kneel.
There's something about her that keeps me hanging on. I can't explain it.
Anyway, you're probably more than done listening to me talk about Sweetness and my heartsick self. I'm going to go upstairs and read or something now.

Have a wonderful day. And make sure the one you love, knows how much.

Artists

So, my Sweetness is an artist. Do you know what that means? It means she's a wonderfully creative, brilliant, visual learner with amazing skills with her hands through various mediums. It also means, she's the world's harshest critic. Artists are the most intense set of people I have ever come to know. And that's just by saying, compared to the Writer's Circle. Not to say that they are particularly friendly either. But Artists? They do everything they can to create perfection, but as I'm sure you know, perfection cannot be obtained. It cannot be created, or seen, or done. Perfection does not and can not exist.

Artists are going to try their damnedest though.

I have watched her slave away for hours over just one project, just so at the end she can look over at me and say "I hate it." I can't help but look at this incredible work of art she has been working on and stare at her incredulously. How can she hate it? If I could do something like that! I would worship my hands! Hell, if I could somehow manage to get them to cooperate long enough to improve my hand writing I'd jump for joy. But this is not the case. She makes beautiful drawings, sketches, paintings. Now she is trained in computer graphics and the visuals she makes are just as brilliant. I've watched her dabble in sculpting too and she's pretty freaking good at that!
But to an Artist, it isn't good enough. There is nothing in this world that will make their work "good" to them, in their eyes. And it depresses me.
I look at all the "flaws" of the work and see that it gives it character. There's a wrinkle, or a smudge, or a fingerprint? Fine. That's wonderful. Becasue it shows the piece as a piece itself and not just something you did. Maybe this is just from a Writer's point of view, but I want people to see the work for the work, and then see it as I wanted them to see it. If I write something and think to myself "I want people to think this is a story about garbage" and then read the reviews and hear "its a story like romeo and juliette!" Then thats wonderful.
Why would I not want to send it off and hear what people think?
Isn't that the point of creating? To give your work life, whatever life may fill it, and send it off into the world? Much like raising a child, you can only do so much before there is nothing else you can do. You have to let the work take it's course, otherwise it won't come out at all.
Prose needs to be coaxed, to be sweet-talked out of your mind and fingers. It needs to be lured with promises and smiles, and sugary treats. I feel like all creation is like that. You can't lure a carving out of a piece of wood by yelling at it. You have to ease the knife down the wood, play it like a fine instrument. The same should be true with a painting or a sketch, or a work of poetry. Even if the emotion you're feeling, the one that inspired you to begin the piece is harsh or quick or frightening in its intensity, you can't show that to the piece.
You cannot show a child a scene of their parent in distress, it will stress the child. You must ease the child into believing that there is nothing wrong at all. They will come to learn more easily, less traumatically. This gives you the result you're looking for. The child is aware, but calm, and you're conveyed emotion is correct. With a piece of artwork you have to be calm on the outside, even if you are raging war in the inside.
Creation is the most intense form of meditation.
Unfortunately, Sweetness is very, very bad at meditation. But she is a brilliantly wonderful Artist. How can I go about helping her be not quite so harsh with herself? It breaks my heart to see her rip down everything she's worked so hard on. I just wish there was something I could do about it.

If you have any advice on the matter, it would be greatly apperciated.


Oh, and by the way, Happy Anniversary, Sweetness. :)

She Works.

She has a job. That makes me bored, when she leaves and I have nothing to do. But it's okay. I don't really mind. Today, I'm going to clean the kitchen for her, and work on my short story for PandA Club. I don't think Sweetness remember's that it's her turn to bring the food. But I'll remind her. I forgot how much fun blogging is. I should try to do it more often.. I say that in like, every other post, huh? Oh well. Sucky my balls, yo. lol ;)

P.S: What should I eat?

Once Upon A Story

My woman, she's a complicated one. And in my simplistic complication, I often accidentally overlook some of her needs. I apologize, Sweetness. I know I don't do right by you. But I'm trying. Our views are just very different on some things. My brain is wired to be 'anti-stress', so when we try to talk about things that are labeled stressful in my mind, it kind of malfunctions and my thoughts explode, and on top of all that, I think slow. So It takes me a while to get my exploded thoughts back into any semblance of order. I'm not trying to fountain an excuse into you're ear, I'm just trying to explain.

I love you too, Sweetness.
