Plea

Dumb gods of destiny, have some mercy on this poor lonely soul!
Where do you want to see me during the best days of the year, where!
Draining my heart, drenching tears, sinking in the cold pavement...!
Foolish gods of destiny, laughing at my helplessness,
You could wait forever while my days are counted!

19
days
must sort all sorts of obstacles

20
days
look like the last countdown to happiness

21
days
and these polluted skies will be ever so blue

22
days
don't seem like such a long time anymore

23
days
to be rescued from this stupid routine

She woke up that morning and found out that the tingly feeling in her stomach was no longer there. It's so sad when your brightest star becomes just another face in the crowd, for the only certain thing then is that the magic is gone... The magic is gone...!

24
days
because skipping days will help time seem to go faster

26
days
are driving me crazy

TFF! On Saturday

1. List five things you'd like to accomplish by the end of the year.
I usually don't have goals for the year. 2002 and 2003 have been too crazy. I guess I'd like to write a good story and have lots of fun during the holidays (you know what I mean). My university goals for this semester are about to be accomplished (the end is coming!).

2. List five people you've lost contact with that you'd like to hear from again.
I haven't really lost contact with people except for some from the Internet. Sometimes I'd like to talk to those Internet people again to see how their life is going. Others were deliberately deleted due to irreconciliable differences. But I don't really belive in that, so I'd rather befriend them again than hate them forevermore.

3. List five things you'd like to learn how to do.
I'd love to learn how to belly dance, play the piano, play ping-pong very well, make my own clothes, knit, speak French (man, when will I finally be able?), Japanese (coming soon!!!), Portuguese (totally forgotten?), Chinese (it would be fun!), Greek (coming soon too!!!), and Arabic (long life to my roots!). Oops, that was much more than five!

4. List five things you'd do if you won the lottery (no limit).
Travel all around the world, try all sorts of food, buy cool clothes, pay some publishing company to publish my stuff, and take my family on vacation.

5. List five things you do that help you relax.
Surf the Net, play guitar, write and draw, talk to Minori through the miraculous audio device on MSN, and have long chats with my family and friends.

27
days

30
days

31
days
and sad songs will make us laugh

32
days
and the moon will be much more than just a satellite

I can't help it. When I listen to Glory of Love, by Chicago, a chain of thoughts invades my mind:
1. Glory of Love, by Chicago
2. Glory of Love is the main theme of Karate Kid 2
3. Karate Kid 2 was set in Okinawa
4. Minori Honda went to Okinawa
5. Minori Honda doesn't like Karate Kid
6. I was a Karate Kid fan
7. But Karate Kid implies Japan, and Japan implies Minori
8. Sweet!

33
days
and my brightest smile will light up the night

1. What food do you like that most people hate?
Eggplants, sticky beans, spinach soup, green beans,... you name it, I eat it.

2. What food do you hate that most people love?
Water, water, water, water, water. Ewww!!!

Practically all famous people are unappealing to me.

4. What famous person, whom many people may find unappealing, do you find
attractive?
Hmmmm... none. I tend to think of a famous person as attractive in a certain context, but suddenly they change a bit and they look horrible!!!

5. What popular trend baffles you?
Most of them... I'm not really a trend person. Oh you know what? Really really really low pants are terrible! When the girl who wears them gets up or sits down, EVERYONE can get a good view of her butt. It's disgusting!

Darkness

Darkness
A sea of liquid taffeta
Dancing into the winds
Of an ammonia storm

A clot
Of that which we ignore
Of closed mouth and of esophagus
Of buried blood

An eye
Blinking furiously
Staring in utmost idiocy
Into sparks of purple and gold

Darkness
A sea of hands gone astray
Of cold breath behind one's neck
Like an ammonia storm

Longing

They are moaning, singing about the love that's never been. They long for a triumphal appearance, where are you, I haven't seen you, and they cry when they're drunk and they laugh when they're sober. Where is the love, where is the love, all of them sharing their wish. Someday a single beautiful eye will catch their heart, and its gaze will hypnotize them. Heartache will be all they know, and they will cry when they're drunk and sigh when they're sober, longing for that eye, that eye, that eye, an eye that never looks at them but looks at the world instead.

This is a comforable blog. I've said it before, I'll say it again. I'm not happy with the template, but when I write here I don't feel lonely, the way I feel when I'm in Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.
