Out of the dusk a shadow,
Then, a spark;
Out of the cloud a silence,
Then, a lark;
Out of the heart a rapture,
Then, a pain;
Out of the dead, cold ashes,
Life again.

I found this in my fortune cookie, and it spoke to me in more ways than one.

So, I'm starting something. This entry is a step forward, to move on from the hurt my heart continuously holds on to from the past several years. I emptied out my contact lists and buddy lists from those who don't speak to me and/or obviously decided to block me.

I have trouble trusting people; I'm weary of those who hurt me. And, for that, this is going public because I have no concern over who sees it! Hate me, like me -- it's who I am!

I'm an emotional person; I'm sensitive, I'm intuitive, I'm me. I give everything for my friends, and friendship means a lot to me.


If when going through a hard time, you just threw in the towel, thank you, because that's not the kind of friend I want in my life.
I'll be in England in three weeks, and this is a more than perfect time for this new perspective. Example: I was going to try and get an extra autograph of David Anders for one of these very people I speak of. Still.

All part of the learning experience. You live, you love, you get hurt, and you learn to live again twice as much from it.

This is just a reference table for what will eventually be 30 manips/drabbles, for 30_forbidden, claimed by yours truly! No need to pay much attention to this.

This started as a dare, and I'm regrettably never one to back down from a challenge XD. I am getting excited about doing all the themes now, and it's something I'll at least enjoy doing. Probably my favourite muse for manips would be two characters at TG whom I more commonly refer to as Doriana. :P.

Looking for a fall look that's cool, not cruel? Luckily for us (and animals), it's easier than ever to find to-die-for fashions and accessories that animals didn't have to die for. Not only are animal-friendly clothing and accessories more hip and humane than those made with fur, wool, or leather, they're also comfortable, durable, and guaranteed to keep you warm when the mercury dips.

With so many fashionable "fakes" available these days, there's no excuse for wearing any animal skins.
