  1. Someone yell at me. Or bribe me. Or stab me. Or offer me your soul.

    I have so many scudding things to do.

    But I want to sit here and play with Liz (one of my favorite OC's) 

    And vibe with all you lovely people

    Heeeeeeellllppppppppp

      Eek. *hugs* Hope you feel better soon, and for now just keep... dramatic flopping, I guess?

  6. So.

    Percy Jackson.

    Do I add it to my ever growing list of TV Series to watch?

      Well, there's hardly such a thing as an objectively bad movie, but I also personally think they were at least pretty mediocre in their own right.

      I do appreciate that while the movie didn't desperately try to cling to the books, which probably would have had a lot of its own problems, the changes it made were generally positive in my opinion and make sense for the medium.

  8. Love your profile picture!! I'm actually singing Not About Angels from The Fault in Our Stars for my vocal lessons :D 

  9. This feels like that Blue's Clues video.

    But that's just a theory,

    A Game Theory.

  10. Pressure:

    Spoiler

    So many different

     kinds of pressure

     I have each day

     pressure to be stronger

     pressure to be faster

     pressure to be smarter

     pressure to be funnier 

    pressure to be useful

     pressure to win

     pressure to be better

     than I can be

     pressure to be

     what I can’t be

     and sometimes

     I get flattened

     by these mounds

     of pressures 

    and these are 

    just a few examples 

     want more?

     Pressure to be a

     better writer

     pressure to be

     a better student

     pressure to be

     what everyone wants

     me to be

     but to also

     be myself

     pressure to know 

    what I want

     pressure to want

     what other people

     think I should want

     is there any question 

    why I don’t know

     what I want

     and what I need?

     I’m the one

     pouring these pressures

     on myself

     or at least a lot of them

    That doesn’t change

     the fact that they’re

     there, that they hurt.

    Tomorrow is going to be a stressful day. Feeling a lot of these pressures, and it’s only going to get worse tomorrow.

  11. Ugh I’m so done

    im done being the one stuck working while my siblings play

    im done being the one stuck at home while everyone else goes and does fun stuff

    im done being lonely and stupid and I just want school to stop and life to stop just so I can breathe for a second and just ugh

    I just want to be someone that’s actually worth something, you know? Not just the spare that I am, the extra mouth to feed, the constant complainer 

    I want to stop being expected to act like an adult and then treated like a child

    i just am done with it all and I want to go to sleep and not wake up until summer or better yet until graduation 

    but then there’s no point because how am I gonna get a job without a diploma

    oh and I forgot college is after this haha

    ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I just don’t know what to do anymore and everything hurts and I just want to cry but I can’t and someone help please

My cat just came and sat on the desk right in front of me (blocking my view, no less) and is liek preying on the cursor xD its actually the cutest thing ever xD and he loves watching me type. What if he can read 🤔😱

  14. PUPPY IS COMING JAN 20!!

      The Aspiring Archivist

      Yeah, it usually goes better like that, especially when both animals are young.

  17. How nice it is

     to have someone

     who says what

     I cannot

     who does that

     which is impossible

     when I tell him to

     who will be 

    the person

     I am

     without anyone

     knowing that 

    it’s me.

     Do people like him?

     They do,

     for in making him 

    into me

     I’ve made him better

     than I could ever be.

     He’s saved lives

     fallen in love

     made friends fast 

    ones who actually care.

     He’s become

     what I wish I was

     while still having

     the same problems

     and thoughts 

    and feelings

     that I do.

    And so if he’s struggling

     then how could I

     should I

     not?

     But he can talk

    to people he loves

     and get help.

     I can’t

     I’m too afraid

     so he does it for me

     but,

     I’ve made him too well

    he seems his own person

     or no one actually knows me

     because they suspect 

    nothing, or so 

    it seems

     to me.

    Spoiler

    Love you all, thanks for letting me say what I could never say to people IRL!

     This just kind of…came. If you know what it means, great! I don’t expect any of you to understand all of it though.

     

  18. You know those days when the first thing you eat is an entire raw lemon at lunchtime?

  19. How's it going? You don't seem to have been around too much.

  20. To the theatre, regarding the cast:

    I love standing on your stage.

    Or sitting.

    Or crawling.

    Or being stabbed,

    Or being held.

    I love pretending for an eager audience.

    But I don’t love you for them.

    I don’t love you so I can be admired by thousands.

    I don’t love you for the crowd;

    I love you for the cast.

    I don’t want to be loved by faces I don’t know, by people who see only the performance, by people who will love me and leave me in the same breath.

    I don’t need them.

    I don’t need an audience.

    I need your acolytes;

    I need your servants,

    I need your cast.

    But the audience is laughing, and the cast is so cruel.

    Their care has conditions; their love is not free. Each hug is a distraction, so they can tie another string. They dance with the strings, twirl them like ribbons, and I stumble along, unaware of the danger.

    It’s easier to hide.

    To stay off your stage.

    It’s easier to traipse along with nothing to navigate, no messy people to try to understand. 

    But I don’t want easier.

    I want you.

    And you are more than a stage.

    I want what isn’t on the stage.

    I want the parts no one ever sees, but everyone knows are there.

    They are there. Right?

    Because the hope that I’ll find them is keeping me alive.

    You wouldn’t lie about something like that...

    Love without strings.

    Family without fear.

    Belonging without breaking.

    Laughter without loneliness.

    Beauty without bravery.

    Perfection without pain.

    Care without conditions…

    That’s what I wanted from the cast.

    I wanted it to be easy, and natural.

    I saw your acolytes as deities, and foolishly believed that they would act like the gods I saw under your lights.

    That they were a pantheon where any could belong…but that there was no hierarchy.

    No tiers,

    And no tears.

    Nothing I need to do, nothing I need to be.

    It was foolish.

    I see it now.

    It was a child’s dream. And I should have given it up years ago.

    But maybe…

    Sometimes I think the dreaming is worth it.

    And sometimes I think that trudging though life in a mindless oblivion is better than hurting for this moment.

    And sometimes I wonder why I bother to dream

    And then I open a book,

    And I watch them rehearse,

    And I hear laughter

    In my mind.

    And then I think

    That maybe it’s time to pick up woodworking.

    That maybe

    The work and the pain and the failure are worth it for the dreams that could someday come true.

    I want things that will never be. A curse, and a blessing. A curse, for the eternal hunger that will never be satisfied. And a blessing, for, like Orpheus, I can see the way the world could be, in spite of the way that it is. 

    So maybe,

    It’s time,

    To stop waiting for a cast list

    To tell me I belong.

    Maybe,

    It's time,

    To pick up a hammer

    And nails

    And start building a home of my own.

    No walls,

    For though they keep out the cold,

    They keep out the lonely as well.

    But a roof, to keep away the rain.

    And a fire, to keep us warm.

    And a stage, because wherever I go and whoever I become,

    You will be there with me.

    I started this in a rather hopeless mood. Then I got pulled away from writing for a few hours, and when I came back...I wouldn't really say I was in a better mood. But it turned out very different than I thought it would.

    ...to those who haven't seen one of these before, hi! I write letters to the theatre, because I love/hate it, and I now have about 20 pages of them. 

    Ah...anything I can do for you guys? If you ask questions in poem form, I will answer them in poem form ❤️
