Caitlin Figures It Out

You Know You Need New Glasses When...

2011-04-11T18:24:00.000+10:00

I last had my eyes tested in early 2008. I can't clearly remember why I needed new glasses, but my brain is hinting that I either, a) sat on them or b) lost them. I remember a bed being involved, so it was likely that I either sat on them or put something heavy on them. I hate the idea of destroying my glasses by the practically cliche reason of, "Oh, I sat down and my fat arse broke them,"

Read 2010

2011-03-17T16:19:00.150+10:00

Read 2010: The beginning of my journey back into the joy of reading again. The list for 2011 is probably going to much, much longer. I can hear you all saying, "yay, tell us more!" Ok... settle down. Also, I think this Amazon feature is convenient and cool, please don't take this as a massive ad, because it's not. I don't even know how the program actually works, I just like the idea of easily

The Intellectual Devotional: Modern Culture Checklist

2011-03-17T05:38:00.020+10:00

If you want to read another new blog, I finished a blog that was meant to be posted in August. You can read it here, it's about adventures to Governor's Island and this one is about Halloween. This new blog is lame on purpose. Be excited. I recently finished my devotional on Modern Culture! I could not keep it to one page a day, the entries were too interesting. So I started reading 8 or more

GO to the GOMA

2011-03-02T19:22:00.028+10:00

On the last Wednesday of February I went to see the Gallery of Modern Arts latest installation: 21st Century: Art in the First Decade. Here's what you need to know about it: "This summer 2010–11, to mark the end of the first decade of this millennium, the Gallery presents ‘21st Century: Art in the First Decade’. This ambitious and ground-breaking exhibition will occupy the entire Gallery of

Things I Like

2011-01-10T13:23:00.000+10:00

I found some crumpled pieces of paper amongst the belongings I brought back from America. After smoothing out the wrinkles, I saw that I had compiled a list, and suddenly a faded memory of sitting at my desk at work one day, writing things down that I liked because I kept forgetting what I did like... and it felt like I was forgetting myself. EDIT: Before you throw up while reading this, scroll

Laurick

2010-12-23T15:22:00.005+10:00

I must distract myself! One of my first entries into the Notepad App on my iPhone was made one thousand and thirty-two days ago on February 25th, 2008 at 11:30 PM. The note included one word, Laurick. I obviously was trying to remember this name, this thing, to investigate at a later date. My whole life seems to revolve around investigating things at a later date. Always tomorrow and never now.

Regret Over The Gothic

2010-12-23T12:21:00.007+10:00

I am an idiot sometimes. I really wanted to see the Gothic Symphony at QPAC, but the tickets were sold out. So I was relieved when I saw that rehearsal tickets were available. I would have been very happy to sit in a theatre for three hours or so watching the orchestra rehearse this once-in-a-lifetime piece. So I purchased tickets for December 22nd. Well, December 22nd rolled around at what did

2010-12-19T12:21:00.002+10:00

*I spelled Hayley wrong the first time. I'M AMAZING.For months now, in my drafts folder, I have had the Blog Post "HayleyGHoover" just sitting there. Empty. Waiting for magic to fill it. However, I put too much pressure on myself. I wanted to make my post about how I had watched all of her videos and think she's awesome and how she glows and all that mushy, pro-my-fellow-female stuff.I didn't do

"What Do You Want for Christmas?"

2010-12-19T11:47:00.001+10:00

When I was first asked what I wanted for Christmas by my Family, I didn't have a very good answer. "Nothing or Food." "What kind of Food?" "Anything. Fruit... Chocolate!" Later when I thought about the idea of actually receiving things I wanted without having to buy them myself (something I haven't been use to after a while of taking care of myself - except when my work took care of them for me)

Replacing Life With Books

2010-12-18T11:35:00.003+10:00

As I mentioned in one of my recent posts, my Mum says that you can waste your life reading books. One should most certainly have their own adventures, but when you are a little burnt out or perhaps a little world weary and desperate for nurture, going on a book binge sounds like a pretty good idea to me. Which is what I'm doing. I'm bingeing on books. I've been here just over a week and I've

Discover Queensland and the Symbols of Australia

2010-12-18T11:14:00.003+10:00

On Thursday, my Father drove me up to my Gran's house. I sat and chatted with her for a while before jumping on the train around the corner to South Brisbane, where I would then head to the Queensland Museum. I had first gone to the Museum when I was in First Grade, and I still remember sitting under the strange blue sculpture in their gardens (if it was indeed, the same one) and being upset

Visual Contact Leads To Vodka

2010-12-17T11:01:00.006+10:00

I have often said, in this blog and in my own journals, that I suspect that the Internet is the cause for whenever I feel truly, deeply unhappy. As was definitely the case the other day, a Wednesday. I was trying to get through my To Do's list, which meant contacting Dr. Johnson and checking my social networks, as well as trying to conquer the mountain of emails that awaits me in my 7 accounts (I

Old Lady

2010-12-16T10:48:00.002+10:00

The other day I was walking to the shopping centre to do some Christmas shopping when, while waiting for the lights to let me cross, I heard a thud as something fell out of a ute and hit the road. When the lights turned green, I almost kept walking, until I realized that the thump, a large duffel bag/suitcase, was blocking traffic and causing vehicles to slow down and swerve almost into the next

Kill Flies with Books; Returning to Queensland

2010-12-15T10:36:00.001+10:00

Days After New York: 9 Meals Cooked: 2 - Saturday: Pappardelle with Spicy Meat Sauce (only with Penne instead of Pappardelle and Paprika instead of Red Pepper) and Monday: Cottage Pie (filled with frustration because one should be able to cook while angry. Making the Mashed Potatoes reminded me of how I helped make Mashed Potatoes for Thanksgiving in 2009 with Molly, which helped me not be angry.

Look

2010-11-11T02:07:00.003+10:00

Well, I finally posted something to Lookbook. I need to delete photos of this computer in preparation for my move, and so I'll just throw them into the Internets and never mind the consequences.I wore this to work one day... but all I really care about is whether I was on time that day or not. Hmm...

Halloween

2010-10-31T01:03:00.000+10:00

Halloween is often not just one day but a weekend or a week of celebration... This year's Halloween was no exception. Friday was the Know Your Meme party, which I was really looking forward to because last year's was really fun, I had a really good night overall. Tonight was different though. I wasn't inspired to go to much effort for a meme, so I just went as Shoulder Cookie, which is lame and

Silly Diet

2010-10-28T16:24:00.004+10:00

Dear Diet,You need to stop being so silly. M&Ms for breakfast and lunch? A bagel stick with cream cheese and cucumber at the last minute for dinner? Your Boss making a grilled cheese sandwich at 2am (the Internet never sleeps) for you because your bank wasn't working to let you buy soup is okay, but standing hopelessly in the kitchen beforehand just staring at goods and not knowing what to do

The End of Things - Personal MySpace (TheCaityDork)

2010-10-19T15:50:00.002+10:00

This wasn't quite as painful to go through as my other profiles, because I think I was slowly starting to be less arrogant and possibly less ignorant. Thank goodness for aging.I don't really have much to say about this MySpace profile because I didn't use it that much. I mainly seemed to use it to communicate back and forth with Emily, Emma, Sarah, Brooke, Courtney, Katie, Scott... and a few

Being the Fan

2010-10-12T12:36:00.007+10:00

I received this comment on my last blog entry:Why do you like making going up to someone your a fan of, or someone who's work you respect, more complicated than it needs to be? You don't have to have an entire conversation planned out to go talk to people youre a fan of.. geez. Otherwise you're going to be writing or saying that alot more. Just go up to whoever it is next time and stop

Whiplash

2010-10-06T02:14:00.005+10:00

I can't find my journal. This makes me nervous. I'm sure I've probably misplaced it, but since I have a tendency towards paranoia, I sometimes wonder whether someone has taken it for some late-night reading... But why? No, Caitlin, you've just misplaced it. You probably hid it somewhere and have now forgotten where your hiding place is.I miss my journal because apart from updating on foursquare

The Social Network & Aphrodisiacs

This week I felt like I spent a lot of time horizontal.I finally deciding on a school only to find out it will be almost impossible to study and survive and that I'd have to wait until January to apply and by then my VISA would be over so I'd only be able to apply as a Student and I could only work on campus.I decided to just go back home.My application for a Green Card is preliminary, anyway.

The End of Things - MSN Spaces "TheNeverland88"

2010-10-02T05:22:00.001+10:00

I'm still in the process of deleting old profiles and blogs. It's not a matter of privacy, it's a matter of wanting to concentrate everything into one place. To simplify things. My MSN Spaces blog was created during my last year of high school, not that you'd be able to tell I was a Senior by reading my terrible Internet writing. I don't know why I decided to often write differently online than I

The Wardrobe

2010-09-19T18:38:00.004+10:00

That Hoarders show really struck a nerve. I just put a whole bunch of clothes into a garbage bag, and I'll need to sort the clothes out again in the morning because one garbage bag wasn't enough, I can't even tie it up.I'm not going to simply throw the clothes away. I will donate some clothes to the material donation truck that has now moved to Union Square (I spotted it today on my way to the

New York Times VOL. CLIX . . No. 55,161

2010-09-16T12:41:00.009+10:00

I am clearly forming a habit of documenting what I read. I have trouble simply reading things and then trusting that my brain will retain the information for use later. I guess this is some form of digital hoarding? At least it is better than hoarding IRL, because I watched two episodes of Hoarders last night and I was utterly horrified at the possibility that I could end up like that. Here's to

Theatre and Fashion on Broadway

2010-09-14T03:05:00.004+10:00

I missed a work meeting and felt little of it, as was my habit at the time.I joined the usual morning hustle of normal people who wake before 12pm. I had coffee. I had the subway, all the way up to Times Square. I was late but not too late.I walked around the road blocks and squeezed myself in, as close as I could, to Broadway on Broadway. It was lovely. Inspiring. A little lame at times with an

My September Girl

2010-09-09T05:10:00.003+10:00

I first opened this post on the 21st of December, 2009, but didn't really know what to do with it at the time, so I left it as a draft. It's now May 11th and I'm queuing this to post in September, 2010, on my birthday. I wonder if I'll still agree with the thoughts written here. What's up, Self?This will not be interesting or relevant to you, unless you were born in September and want to do one

BEDA - Day Twenty-Eight - Bloggable Weekend

2010-08-31T15:27:00.007+10:00

Have you ever had a day, week, or a moment that was just so surreal at times that you couldn't possibly stay in the moment? That you had to start thinking about how you were going to blog about it? I don't like doing it, and so I either trust that if it's very important it will be written about or I make a little note on whatever I have on me at the time, usually my iPhone, to sit down and write

BEDA - Day Thirty - Theme Songs

First of all, I really hope I am not actually pissing any people off by still calling this BEDA. We all know I failed it. I just want the filing of posts to look pretty. Please bare with me. There are many great people actually participating in BEDA and succeeding. Here are two blogs that I am reading often by Kristina and Hayley.Okay, now that we're friends again, I'd really like to talk about

BEDA - Day Twenty-Nine - Luke's Last Day in New York City

2010-08-29T15:26:00.006+10:00

I woke up with a heavy head and a puffy face from all the wine I drank and all the tears that came out last night. What effected what? You decide!Saturday night was intense in an accidentally intense way. By that I mean that I did not want it to be intense. I did not plan for feelings to feel, for eyes to tear, for wine to be consumed, for mouths to kiss, for people to yell. Yet it all happened

Part Three:Brief Reflections on the Events of The Iliad and the FilmArchaeologist, Heinrich Schliemann, has convinced many scholars that the city Canakkale in Turkey is the site of Homer's Troy, presenting evidence of destruction that could resemble the Achaians and other armies sacking of the city. However, archaeological digs have uncovered nine periods of settlement of the geographical site

2010-08-10T07:29:00.003+10:00

There's nothing wrong with pretending you're in your 30's right? A boyfriend once said to me that I seemed like a 30-year-old in a 16-year-old body. He was 20 at the time. PERV. As a naturally messy 21-year-old or older woman it's nice to sometimes let your mind drift into what life would be like if you could be an efficient and organized human being...I live with the lady who runs the site

BEDA - Day Eight - Waffle Week

August 24th is National Waffle Day, and since I'm clearly so excited about it all the way back here on August 8th, I thought I'd list some places that Yelp (you know, that bitchy site where none and all of the information is helpful) recommends you to check out during Waffle Week, because one day of Waffles is simply not enough.Since I'm slack at everything, I know I'll probably run out of time

BEDA - Day Seven - Waxen Hearts

2010-08-07T22:25:00.001+10:00

Ever since the age of 13, I have been called a "tease" and that I apparently "lead boys on." This always confused me because I was just trying to fit in. Boys didn't seem to like bitchy girls and they seemed to like nice girls, and I simply found the boys I knew fascinating. They were so funny and I wanted to be funny too. So, I would joke and play and flirt back at them, not realizing my

BEDA - Day Six - The Social Network

2010-08-06T15:55:00.002+10:00

After a couple of months of watching the teaser and the trailer, I am definitely very, very, very interested in the film, The Social Network. I love that it's about something so very "now" and I love that it's about figures that I've already read about and discussed with my friends and I love all the scandal behind Facebook and the drama behind the film itself.I've already discussed Facebook a

2010-08-04T13:08:00.003+10:00

Wow, the last few days have been quite hectic. We are currently in the middle of a campaign here at Hitviews and it's really not a good time to be thinking about a video or a blog a day. So instead I find myself thinking of them at night... and then editing them in the early hours of the morning... and then falling asleep on the floor. This can't be healthy, but it's not like it's a dramatic

Stamp the Pants

2010-07-28T11:16:00.003+10:00

I wish that underpants came with a stamped date of when you purchased them. If they did, we could learn a lot about each other by simply asking, "How old are your underpants?"Imagine this, you are sitting with a friend whom you have known for some time. You have gone to parties together, to restaurants together, talked about each other's lives with care, but you've never asked the question, "How

Facebook Still Reigns

2010-07-28T10:55:00.002+10:00

The flare against Facebook has come and gone (at least until all is revealed to the general public in the upcoming film, The Social Network), and any new sites that tried to enter the "social network" space have not had a big enough impact and still, if you quickly wander through your friends of friends pages you'll see dozens and dozens, and hundreds, and thousands, if not millions of profiles

Lists: Films I've Seen - 2009

2010-06-25T04:40:00.003+10:00

I have been keeping a list on my YouTube channel of the films and television show seasons I've watched since August, 2009 and I felt it was time to transfer the list over to my blog.The reason why I started keeping this list is because I no longer logged in to IMDB, where I had kept a list of most of the films I had seen, and I also was seeing films more frequently in New York and didn't want to

Coney Island: Take Two

2010-06-19T07:32:00.018+10:00

The first time I ventured down to Coney Island. on the rattly N train, I was not in the best of moods. I can't remember why. I think it had something to do with wanting Emily, my best friend, to be hanging out with me, alone, and not with her cousin, an amazing girl, Louise. Now, it was silly of me to feel that way, because Louise is a lovely person and I enjoyed spending time with her, but I

Musicals I Would Like To See

2010-06-17T12:58:00.004+10:00

My Internet Browser is quietly grumbling at me because I have so many tabs of musicals and plays I want to see open. Yet most of them, those that won Tony's anyhow, are all closing quite soon and since they are closing and their popularity has been boosted by the recent awards ceremony the ticket prices are super high. The New York Times reported that a ticket to Fences was over $300.00! That

I had multiple accounts, Hill88, TheHill and CaitlinHill, maybe TheHill88, I'm not sure. Only 2 of them had an actual profile. Oh, the hubbub surrounding the launch of LiveVideo. How we all scrambled to get our names so that nobody could pose as us. It was such an ordeal

I like to do this thing, where instead of investigating something, to determine whether I like it or not now, I email myself a note or a link and let myself investigate later. The problem is that later for me, is a over a whole year later, and these "notes" look like some psychopaths step-by-step guide to a quiet, legal Sunday afternoon.I'd delete, but I'm waiting for some work emails to further

1. "Knock the fuck on, Jaci!!!" ~ AnnaDuring a touch football game during theatre rehearsal (wha?), Anna burst out with that. I found it hilarious and will continue to pipe it to her for as long as she lives. Yes, I plan on being that annoying.2. "I feel bad..." ~ MeNot that this is something I should try to remember, but I definitely spent good part of the last decade uttering those words. So

2010-03-17T11:22:00.004+10:00

Why am I still doing this? I don't know, but I will know better when I have finished. So, either quietly ignore me or spill your own thoughts below. They make it really hard to reply to anyone on this thing, but I do read them all.UPI saw this with Luke and Brooke and Molly... or just Brooke... or just Molly. I can't really remember. It was dark. And both are blond. As am I, but still... I just

...then remind me of this.The ending of my VISA is looming ahead and my heart pounds at the thought. I mostly would love for it to renewed, but I also can't help making plans for what I would do if was not to be realized.I have Three Plans, The American Plan, The Australian Plan and The United Kingdom Plan.I'm not going to give away these ideas here, not yet anyhow, I am instead going to record a

Letter to the Teacher 11/15/09 11:39PM

2010-03-01T13:05:00.000+10:00

During my writing classes we were given assignments and I was lucky to be inspired by most of them, so they were an ease to write. However, when we were given our last assignment, I lacked courage, direction and a wee bit of inspiration to start typing away. So, I started with a letter to the amazing teacher. I didn't include it in my draft to him since it seemed silly and I've been meaning to

Last Monday/My Eating Habits 11/9/09 10:09PM

2010-03-01T12:20:00.009+10:00

I found these notes in my Drafts. They were originally notes I made after one of my writing class lessons, but it almost reads as some kind of idiotic stab at poetry of some kind. So since it really is too late to bother trying to write and eloquent blog about such a simple day, I neatened the notes up to fit the structure/look of a poem, just for the glory of Awful."I've got to read the fucking

Internet Infancy OR The @Reply Asshats

2010-02-19T15:38:00.014+10:00

Don't read this if you don't know me. You might not get it and might get angry. P.S. This was my first accident with Spoilers AND it was not spoiling the END of a movie.Do you remember back in the good ol' days when you didn't know anyone on the internet? And you weren't known by anyone on the internet? And you could tell people when they were being a fucking douche and not give a shit if anyone

A quick insight into my Valentines gift and day, my guilt over my Amazon Wishlist and my review of the Youth In Revolt soundtrack...For Valentines Day I received a most surprising and well wrapped set of gifts from... hmm... an "Online Guy." That's what I'll call him until further notice from said "gifter."I was so surprised and grateful and I liked the gifts too much to feel too selfish and

I Can't Use Listography Right Now...

2010-02-17T11:27:00.011+10:00

A rambling blog about Listography and me realizing that I'm just not the kind of person who can enjoy it (even though I love to make lists) and my fondness for 101 things in 1001 days and the good things I found from Listography...I've had a tab open on my Safari browser for a couple of weeks for the site, Listography, I saw the site a while ago, and when I came across the book at Urban

Genius-I-Guess Recommendations #2

2010-02-16T03:25:00.015+10:00

Music is best when recommended and shared by humans, not iTunes bots, which is what I don't enjoy about iTunes Genius, this list of keywords and algorithms than can pin-point interests... well, it just makes one feel predictable, and even though most of us are predictable to a certain extent, nobody likes to feel that way.So here is Genius-I-Guess Recommendations #2 (hopefully I'll sporadically

Life Lists and Genius-I-Guess Recommendations #1

2010-02-16T02:13:00.013+10:00

Oh my! I have about 9 drafts saved that I need to finish and post. I've been doing this thing, where I quickly jot down a few thoughts or quite a lot of thoughts, but haven't finished any of them. I'm glad that I'm not letting myself forget and leave the possible writings to the wind, but I definitely need to finish.EDIT: I began doing the same thing with this blog, so I've broken it into pieces.

Water Is The Key!

2010-01-23T02:58:00.004+10:00

I'm on vacation this week for my friend, Kate's, 21st birthday in Las Vegas where, surprisingly, there is no shortage on water.It's been raining all week and the various casino hallways, elevators and parking buildings are leaking. Narrow rivers and small lakes are overtaking the roads and pathways, and it's clear to me to forget the "wonders" of the Hoover Dam and all it's good intentions, if a

I Will Say, Two-Thousand And Ten

2010-01-11T08:34:00.005+10:00

A commenter on my video told me that some grammar association says that twenty-ten is correct, but that just feels weird to me, so incorrectly I will say, two-thousand and ten, it just doesn't make sense to me to go back to 20th century style pronunciations of years. One: Welcome back to another year of my thoughts, plans and dreams. I always appreciate your comments and reply every now and then

Almost Forgotten Days: Thursday 19th & Sunday 22nd

2009-11-26T04:54:00.003+10:00

Lately I've been trying to post a thing a day to my Tumblr. I could never remember to ever log in to a site and post something every day, so I've used Tumblr's Queue option and now have a little over 20 images lined up to post. Tumblr should then automatically publish one picture a day, usually around 11am, but on Thursday 19th and Sunday 22nd, nothing was posted. I don't know why since there

Good Memory Times!Aw. Stumbled on photos of the school books we all created during our production of You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown. Guess which character owns which book? I was Linus.

Tumblr Summary #1

2009-11-16T03:50:00.007+10:00

For the last few days I've been uploading a picture and then later adding a summary of the day and its highlights. Due to tumblr having awesome features, this is something that I am confident will continue for a while - unlike my infrequent and often dissatisfying bursts on here, dailybooth, blogtv and youtube.One thing that may not happen frequently is me creating a summary of these tumblr posts

Temper, Temper..

*I threw an umbrella at Luke's head because he annoyed me by walking fast out of the cinema and not basking in the cold glow of the Pandorum credits......I need to work on my temper...Or I just need to hit him harder.IMPORTANT UPDATE: I'm fucking hungry.*this was also written in late September

It Made Me Laugh When...

(this was written, 28th Sep)...I was about to twitter how excited I was to have cleared out the inbox for all seven of the emails I have and then I saw the gorgeous Spricket's tweet about winning an Emmy and I realized that there I was, wearing snowflake socks, a gumby t-shirt and didn't have an Emmy.Even now it makes me crack up at how wonderfully and hilariously different two lives can be."oh

Grace, Inaction, Print and Four Pirogi's, Fried

2009-09-23T02:33:00.001+10:00

The red numbers on the computer screen depressed me to the point of immobility, not that it's hard for me to not do anything or stay still, why it seems that it's my ultimate past time in this city, but my doubt in action bringing change kept me upright on my vanity stool.Little moans and whines escaped me and drifted through the bedroom door, but my neighbour, Brooke, preoccupied with Germany

The Attack On Mac Fat

2009-06-10T13:46:00.002+10:00

Oh, Internet. What have you done?Not only have you unleashed millions of people onto the world with all their talent, lack of talent and quirks, but you have launched successful companies and challenged others to almost breaking point.You are reshaping the world as we know it, and for something so remarkable you belong almost entirely in cords and frustrating devices.I own many of these devices,

Habits

2009-05-28T08:03:00.000+10:00

For the last couple of weeks I have been researching the art of creating habits and keeping them.All the websites dedicated to organization say the same thing: start small to work to that something big and it all seems fairly simple. It just comes down to your own will power.I know that I want to be more active, get more projects done, work towards those little goals that lie under the large

Boom Goes The Rocket!

2009-04-23T03:14:00.001+10:00

Well, hello! As you may have noticed around the Internets, for the past two days I've been helping out Rocketboom by dabbling as host of Rocketboom. Yeah, I know. Super scary huge shoes to fill.I, like many of you, was shocked to hear that Joanne was leaving and was even more shocked when Andrew asked me if I would like to help.Trust me, I suggested every one to fill that lone seat before me, but

...after this tweet we arrived at the airport and I hurriedly, with heavy bags in each hand, walked into the terminal to check in to QF 108.The day had been "blah" due to work assignments (aka a video) needing to be created, edited and exported that day and I also had to pack.This usually wouldn't be a problem except my love for video making has dwindled terribly into a chore and I could not find

Cool Spring Air, Opinions and A Quiet Night In

2009-03-18T10:04:00.001+10:00

There are so many things I want to talk about, that just don't do well on a public blog. Isn't that sad?Sometimes, I wish that I had a greater level of anonymity, like I had when I was 16. I was quite public with most of my thoughts on my old blogs, and some people didn't really like it. Or they just thought I was being a silly girl. And I am most of the time.I am very much enjoying Internet Life

Liquid Meditation and Avoiding The Cannibals

2009-03-10T03:03:00.001+10:00

Showers happen every day. Yes. There is always that one shower though that does more than clean your tootsies, it cleans your soul.Well, not completely, but you walk feeling squeaky clean inside and out and chipper enough to get bruised up and bullied again before the next shower.These magical showers usually happen for me in the evening, when the purpose is not to be clean for something, but

Looking Back, Always... - VOX

It's been a long while since I last wrote here. I could have deleted it, but I don't regret my thoughts so I see no point too. But I'm also shy (or is it egotistical?) enough to not want my old thoughts just sitting here, stagnant, rotting.The interesting thing is... right now, I have nothing to say.Well, that's not true. I do. I desperately want to pour my heart out. I have to admit, I'm in a

Go Ask Alice... And Then Tell Her To Shut Up!

2009-01-29T13:54:00.001+10:00

The other evening while cleaning my room, I suddenly began to turn around slowly to face my teetering stack of books which lie next to my bed.I slowly reached my hand out to a familiar cover, that I had not yet investigated, and pulled out, 'Go Ask Alice' by "Anonymous".I sat down amongst my cleaning and started reading the first few pages and then Mr Dark rang and it wasn't until a little after
