>>-------> Kill Me With Arrows <-------<<...{Please.}

Blog,

     Sometimes it is easy to sit and get out my emotional stress through more eloquently put words than these. But now is not one of those times.
I was fine earlier. Now...It sucks. Blog, my heart really hurts. Really. There's so much of it and I just want to  be able to walk outside and keep going through the sucky Utah winter night air until I'm numb with hypothermia. It's so easy to pretend to be happy and fine during the day when I'm around everyone else, because I can be focused on meeting their expectations and keeping them happy. But at night when I'm alone I feel it all over and over and wish I could just melt away forever.

Letter to Someone

Once upon a time a young fool invested significant amounts of her time, worry, hope, thought, care, willpower, physical effort, emotion, money, dreams, love, and everything else in securing a view of the world so fragile that it made stained glass windows look impossibly solid. Every time a flaw showed up she would try to fix it. Try to copy and paste, to bring back the flawlessly sleek finish it once had. But it's difficult to hold together a world made of splinters when all you have are your arms. So many different pieces of something so much bigger than the person I am. Hopelessly outnumbered, but I have to give it a try. Still, it always hurts to hear that your world isn't as lovely as you originally thought it was. Some friends aren't who they lead you to believe, family ties fray, lives get threatened, and old hurts get smacked around. But what I would really like to say is Thank you. I would have dropped to my knees, tipped over, and eventually stilled without the wonderful people who are willing to take me by the hand, and, with a smile, share their own versions of life with me.

I care for you so much more every day.

Dear Blog,

     I really desperately want to die of the plague. I can't do this.

Sick to Death Styracosaurus {Without Health Insurance}

Dear Blog,

.....Today sucks. It is awful. And I want it to be over. And the next day. And the next. And the day after that one. And after that. And the next. Until....I don't know when. Someone fix me.

 I feel like this...

Yep.

...

Something odd and out of place and about to become extinct, therefore, quite lonesome.

His whole family is probably dead or lost in the mess of the dying cretaceous period. 

This is it.

Minus the pretty outdoors and serene forest-y light.

Put the guy in a half frozen, slightly melty, crusty, muddy, too bright tundra and you'll be closer. The lights are probably the terrible florescent kind that flicker.

Even better, once he's there, surround him by cheery people and make him do paperwork. Or tell him to fix a printer that he doesn't even know how to operate.

With nail trimmers.

And have someone kindly check up on him every hour or so, to see if he's doing alright.

But he's not really the sort of dinosaur to let on that things in his life are a little bit crap.

He'll just keep it to himself and do his best to fix the fetching printer.

I hate printers.

And today.

I love Roo Panes' music so much. It's been the soundtrack to my Christmas break. 

And the gentleman who created this video is positively brilliant.
