South CarolinaYou're crawling up slowly,  you're so crazy, got me wrapped  around bare bones and sweet divine  Caroline,  will you please be mine?   
Summer time, sweet molasses,  look at those fine asses  Miss Caroline, won't you please.   
Please, be mine?  Please, be mine...  Please...   
Oh, Miss Caroline,  Oh, Miss Caroline.  
 
There's a bay down by the garage,  shall we go, shall we follow  that lonely old man down  the shallow slopes? South Carolina

Cheap PerfumeDead squid heads litter your floor,  your penchant for calamari has never been  so obscene, your macabre love has never been  so flavorful and I am roasting in the fumes  of your love, hiding from the fact that I mean more  to my family than they do to me, and the guilt  weighs me down, as the stench,  wraps around you like silk filigree and cheap  Family Dollar perfume. Cheap Perfume

Et tu?An explanation,  
but I'm no good at summaries,  no good at subjugation.  Congregations ill at ease, and you  are ever so hard to appease,  
darling dear, desperately unaware,  can't you draw any nearer?   
I'm throwing bones,  raking in the wind,  my stones cast no shadows  and I can't tell what you're after.  
 
One, two, six, five four,  you know I have far too many favorite numbers,  and I know you can't name any,  they don't matter enough,  
so no of course you don't bother,  not when you can have an easier  way to be.  
 
I blow fake Et tu?

expectationsI'm dragging exteriors  into interiors.  [let's etch this scar in too far,  i want a reminder of this fear]  It's a round a bout way of  ripping tatters and thoughts of  
things-i-should-have-been.  [cause i can't deal with not being  what i think i should be.  no, not really.]   
I am in flux,  I am not the concrete they need,  not the daughter they want.  [not concrete, just a lumpy mess  jumbled with bones and briars.] expectations

I'm horrible, I'm sorry. I haven't been writing, I've been trying to do school work and I haven't replied to anyone and I'm sorry. I will try to eventually get to it, but I make no promises. I'm trying to edit my stuff (ok, so it's one of those things I save until I'm procrastinating.) I went through my stuff for a scholarship and noticed a lot of stuff I wanted to change, so I'll be trying to that and upload a few straggling old things.
God, I miss writing. I miss writing well. I'm writing scripts for thesis, two 42 minute television episodes. Maybe I'll get them up here later.

In other good and writing news, I've had some developments. I think I mentioned the one already but -
1. Published in my school's lit and art mag - Chimera.
2. Inducted into STD (Sigma Tau Delta - English Honors Society)
3. Won a scholarship to attend the Chautauqua Writers Festival through the school.

So, yay me. It's nice. No, no it's not. It's amazing. Thinking about it makes me miss writing even more. I need to start writing more. I have so much stuff piling up in me, I don't know why I'm not writing. I don't understand, I can't get things to fit together, I can't create anything beyond my scripts right now, and that's new. That's not...argh. I need to work on this.


Again, apologies for the laxness around here and I'll try to be better, but it'll be awhile, I have a month left and a Lot to get done before then. So. Sorry.

.I can't untangle what I feel and what would matter most.

And I'm not proud that nothing will seem easy about me.

Now there's just no point in reaching out for you..

i can see that. I haven't had too much stuff to add to mine so I can see why avoiding.

Yeah, me either. And I'm so hopelessly behind in my replies, I feel awful about it. I've written a little, and found some old stuff, but...it's like I dried up a bit. I hope the retreat kicks my ass in gear again.
