My Old Friend Fate,

I have always believed in you.

But this is really starting to get out of hand!

Two days ago I walked away from the only person I've ever fallen in love with, the only person I felt okay with.  The one person I've never grown tired of, never got tired of kissing, of hearing his voice... you get the picture.

But it was for the best!  I promise, I feel better.  I really do.
Most of the time. 
Well, I feel better not having to worry about him.

But seriously!  Fate!  You need to stop fucking with me.

Yesterday I decided to take an unfamiliar path to the movie theaters, for I didn't really want to see if the forest had lost its magic yet.  There was a boy over the hill wearing a jacket... oh, it was a wonderful jacket!  Wait.  I know that jacket.
It was him.
I put myself back together and kept driving, my stomach bubbling.

And Fate, just when I thought that was a mistake, I wake up this morning.
He had written a poem for me, you remember that one?  The one entitled Shakespeare's Aphrodite?  I'm sure you do.
Well, I realized that four days after he wrote that for me (I looked up the date on the bottom of the copy he gave me) and saw I had written a poem about him.  Not such a new idea, right?  But this was before we had started dating, and before I knew he loved me.  I had called him Adonis.
Aphrodite and Adonis were in love in Greek mythology.  Of course they "broke up", but that was because Aries grew jealous and killed him.  And frankly the Greeks were just very soap-opera-y in their stories.

So I continued my day, just a bit curious.

As I cried on the floor of my bedroom about how my mother doesn't think I have enough experience driving to go to my sister's, yet she never lets me go on the highway, even a little, I started flipping through the pictures on my phone.
I came across the only picture of you I have in there, the one of your hand after your tattoo.
I kept flipping, not even thinking of you.
I got to the end and started staring at the sign Kayla and I had made.  One of us drew spirals over it, and one jumped out at me.
I pulled out my phone immediately and flipped to that picture.  Your tattoo - the evolution of your inner self - was drawn on my cardboard sign.  Perfectly.  It started and ended at the same place.

 

I threw the phone away from me and went to sleep.

What are you trying to say, dear Fate? 

Sincerely,
very confused girl.

These are "cover bands" (although some of the bands do originals) from the Mom's Music Weekend Warrior program (similar to Rock School but for folks over 18). I'm not sure about the types of music most of these bands play but I play in Zombies Win! and we do a mix of old school punk (Black Flag, Misfits, Dead Kennedys) and some newer music (Rancid, some older AFI stuff).

It starts at 2pm and it's free at the Hard Rock Cafe at 4th Street Live downtown on Sunday.

Dear best mate.

Sweetie, tell him exactly where to go. You guys broke up 2months ago. Really you two werent together properly for 6months, you were just trapped in a house together with nowhere else to go because you were too proud to admit he was a fucking twatty user. You have been so so good the last few months, You were old Zoe. You were stong again and mad and everything you were when we first met
.
Its not your fault he decided to give up the job that he took so it meant you two couldnt live together, its not your fault he just sits drinking and does absolutely nothing with his life. Its not your fault that he has nothing anymore. He had you, the flat, the 'ideal' job, friends, extended family in your lot. He had everything and got too comfy and decided to fuck it up by treating you like shite.
Arguements over what? Losing a bank card that was yours and not his? What has that to do with him? Nothing. You couldnt stay over at mines without him thinking you were out sleeping with 10guys. You couldnt stay out at a club with us after 2am without 1000txts wanting to know your exact movements. You couldnt dye your hair, get a piercing, get a tattoo, go away with the girls and be able to relax. My god woman he treated you like a slave and you done it because you thought/did love him.

PLEASE please please dont feel bad for him. Everything thats shit in his life is no reflexion on how you were. You done the best you could well past the point that many. PLEASE MY GOD dont take him back, PLEASE he will destroy the little respect youve built up for yourself.


I love you lots n lots ladyface.

See you in 10mins love.
Jammies, girly films, chocolate, wine and hair dye.



Dear Richard

FUCK OFF YOU WANKER


Dear Boymistermanofmines.

How flipping glad am i that we are how we are and you are how you are. Your my bestest. Wish I could see you tonight. In havent spoke to you in like 12hrs and i feel like something is missing. Yes I may be slightly obsessed but I dont care because your worse than I am and I love it. All I need is a hug and a smile and my day is the best. Cant wait to the weekend with you allll weekend. Gonna be brilliant. Love you btw.

This Lullaby suggestions [Sunday

Hello fellow Sarah Dessen fans!

In my acting class we were given an assignment to investigate and act as a character from a piece of literature for a casual 5 minute performance. We can pick any written work that we want, so I decided to give Remy from This Lullaby a try. I need to pick either a scene or a few scenes to investigate and perform, so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions? I was thinking of incorporating a scene with Dexter, a scene where she listens to the song This Lullaby, or when she's talking with her mother about love. Any thoughts?

[ music | "Never gonna give you up"-Rick Astley ]



We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy


I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

Never gonna give you up,
never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry,
never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it

And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see


Never gonna give you up,
never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry,
never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Never gonna give you up,
never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry,
never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

(Ooh give you up)
(Ooh give you up)
(Ooh) never gonna give,
never gonna give
(give you up)
(Ooh) never gonna give,
never gonna give
(give you up)

We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up,
never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry,
never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

[ music | "What it is to burn"-Finch ]


She burns

Today's on fire
The sky is bleeding above me,
And I am blistered

I walk these lines of blasphemy,
Every day
And still:

Like a bad star,
I'm falling faster down to her
She's the only one who knows,
What it is to burn

I feel diseased
Is there no sympathy from the sun?
The sky's still fire
But I am safe in here,
From the world outside

So tell me
What's the price to pay for glory?

Like a bad star,
I'm falling faster down to her
She's the only one who knows,
What it is to burn

Today is fire,
And she burns
Today is fire,
And she burns
She burns
She burns
She burns
She burns
She burns
She burns

Like a bad star,
I'm falling faster down to her
She's the only one who knows,
What it is to burn

Here he comes
Her comes Speed Racer
He's a demon on wheels
He's a demon and he's gonna be chasin' after someone.


He's gainin' on you so you better look alive.
He's busy revvin' up a powerful Mach 5.

And when the odds are against him
And there's dangerous work to do
You bet your life Speed Racer
Will see it through.

Go Speed Racer!
Go Speed Racer!
Go Speed Racer!,
Go!

He's off and flyin' as he guns the car around the track
He's jammin' down the pedal like he's never comin' back
Adventure's waitin' just ahead!


Go Speed Racer!
Go Speed Racer!M
Go Speed Racer, Go!

Lets go ya'll

These people are running off at the mouth
Tryin to convince me that I'm running on empty
Tryin to convince themselves that the record with Jay was a fluke
That the record that I'm makin is a mistake
and I cant take this
Lemme tell you where I'm at with this
You bastards are gonna have to take back that shit
I'm not plastic and fake
When I make tracks I take facts and lay them out for the masses
You assholes are gonna see soon that I'm not playin
Start askin me the names that I'm not sayin
But I'm tryin to be bigger than the bickerin
bigger than the petty name callin
under the breath talkin
rumors and labels and categorization
I'm like a struggling doctor, No patients
But you can say what you want about me
keep talkin while I'm walkin away


You can say what you have to say
cuz my mind's made up anyway
I'm taking the high road going above you
this is the last time that I'm gonna trust you
You can say what you have to say
cuz my mind's made up anyway

all that bullshit you talk might work a lot
but it's not gonna work today




You people are running off at the mouth
Tryin to make me take myself off safety
Tryin to make my friends turn their backs on the team we built
buildin up some mistaken information
and I cant take this
lemme spell it out plain for you
angry groups complain about the things we do
im not changing direction, I'm stepping my game up
Maintainin my name, the same way I came up
You're gonna see that I'm not playin
start asking the names that I'm not sayin
but im tryin not to mention the names of people who wanna sight and attention
You like the hype but pretendin you're part of the picture wont pass
You're like a high school dropout, no class
You can say what you want about me
keep talkin while i'm walkin away bitch

You can say what you have to say
cuz my mind's made up anyway
I'm taking the high road going above you
this is the last time that I'm gonna trust you
You can say what you have to say
cuz my mind's made up anyway
all that bullshit you talk might work a lot
but it's not gonna work today


Why does it always have to be
Somebody's always watching me
All I really need is some room to breathe
Is anybody out there listening?
Cuz I cant stand to keep this in
All I really want, I'll say it again


You can say what you have to say
cuz my mind's made up anyway
I'm taking the high road going above you
this is the last time that I'm gonna trust you
You can say what you have to say
cuz my mind's made up anyway
all that bullshit you talk might work a lot
but it's not gonna work today

Oh oh oh oh oh

There will be no rules tonight
If there were we'd break 'em
Nothing's gonna stop us now
Let's get down to it
Nervous hands and anxious smiles
I can feel you breathing
This is right where we belong
Turn up the music


Oh oh oh oh oh

This is the dance for all the lovers
Takin' a chance for one another
Finally it's our time now
These are the times that we'll remember
Breaking the city's heart together
Finally it's our time now
It's our time now'


This is more than just romance
It's an endless summer
I can feel the butterflies,
Leading me through it
Take my heart, I'll take your hand
As we're falling under
This is an addiction girl
Let's give in to it

Oh oh oh oh oh

This is the dance for all the lovers
Takin' a chance for one another
Finally it's our time now
These are the times that we'll remember
Breaking the city's heart together
Finally it's our time now
It's our time now

Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Now
It's a dance
Get up
Come on brothers
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh

This is the dance for all the lovers
Takin' a chance for one another
Finally it's our time now
These are the times that we'll remember
Breaking the city's heart together
Finally it's our time now

Dear Ma(if I am still allowed to use that terminology),

When I came home and was told by my children what was said by you, I was totally shocked. I have felt your bitterness towards me the 27 years I have known you but never in my life would I see you disowning your own grandaughters in this manner. I have no idea what was said to you or where your information has come from to make you feel this way, we have not even spoken to you since Tom was in town last. All I can figure out is that over labor day when Ray went out to Tom's his conversations must have put some of our dirty laundry out in the open and it was told to you.

I will agree with you that the girls show no respect for Ray, but until you know how our life is in our home you have no business reflecting opinions. Respect is a two way street, and the girls are now 16 and almost 14 have ever right in the world to defend themselves and me if they feel they need to. We have had problems for quite a while in our house and I can guarantee you that most women would have left their man if they have lived my life. And the disrespect that they show their father is the same if not worse than the respect that he shows anyone of us in our home.

I have been living with this for a long time now and have given up trying to mend the relationship between Kim and her dad, it is up to them to fix and by you including Jessie in any of this is so wrong on your part, she is an innocent victim and has been the referee long enough.

And Ray brought up that we spend so much time at my parents house and dont ever go and see you. Well that is your sons respondsibility to arrange visits with you not mine. You have been cold to me for years now and saying I have disrespected you is the funniest thing in the world. You have probably been disrespectful towards me more than anyone in the entire family and never have I confronted you about it. Example would be: You have bluntly given everyone in the family christmas gifts and have given me absolutely nothing, oh ya a few years ago you gave me a $5.00 gift card to Panera when in the same year you bought Todd a laser level. I am not stupid as you like to call me. I know the price difference there. I also heard you talk with Tom on the phone saying "no its not too much, I need to catch your girls up with the rest of the grandkids. I have never heard such a unfair statement said. You have never been fair to your own children though so I really didnt expect you to be with your childrens kids.
