| 6:51 pm - The Reason Behind It.... |
 lutinquill Ever suddenly look up and find yourself surrounded by friends who, you realize belatedly, aren't that fabulous? Who, when you look twice, really aren't there when you need them, and don't help you when you are down, or going insane, but let you reel out of control with the lovely parting gesture "She's being such an emo b****."That's why I got this journal. I was sick of letting that happen to me, sick of having my every human instinct called into question. Yes, we get sad. Yes, we get pissed off over something that isn't that serious. Yes, we are allowed, upon occasion, to be somewhat stupid. Aren't we? What good is a friend who only mocks you for being yourself? What good is a friend who tells you to stop being yourself??That's not a friend. I joined this community because I looked at it and went "Oh, wow- this is perfect" it just looks so cool. I mean- I read some of these entries and remember thinking the exact same thing at some point and time.I'm a writer, but I've never finished a story. I just move on to something else- I'm constantly hopping from idea to idea. I think it must be the ADD, which the highest dose of medication has never helped, by the way. Doctors can be quacks sometimes.....But I digress...It's cool to find a community where people aren't so judgemental at first glance.current mood:  a bit relieved (Use Your Imagination) |

 themostcake Hey! My name's Sarah and I just joined, so I thought I'd post something to introduce myself. I'm 18-years old, hail from Ontario, Canada and looooooove to create! Mostly I like to write, journals, poetry, short stories...you name it! But I'm also into photography, collaging and a little bit of painting. So, on with my creation... it's not my favourite by any means but right now, it suits my mood...so here it goes.Faces. I sat there on the floor of my room, canvas on my lap, paintbrush in my hand. I slapped the paint down again and again. Slap, slap, slap. I watched the paint form, and itformed faces. All the time I was thinking of you, about what you'd done. The faces kept coming,filling up my canvas. I saw the pain in their eyes and I knew what they were hiding. Soon, somehow, I began to let you slip away. And you became only a speck on the horizon. The faces began to change, they were letting go too. Hope filled their eyes and I remembered what it is to be strong. I looked at all the faces around me, filling up my room. I looked at all the faces I had painted and I smiled because none of them looked like you.current mood:  lonely (Use Your Imagination) |

| 3:25 pm - In a hurry, late for work and... |
| the_peeb Looking, I could stare, but no... bright lights are coming now and the wind picks up; walking still, someone screams (someone), eyes closed now, teeth on teeth, hard, all pressing, but walking still walking. I could never stare, it's too much, too real, surreal, with twisted limbs morphing eyes where there never were... bones under my skin could crack... terrible. They come past, sirens on, lights, (someone screams, back there); it's in good hands now, someone's hands. Up ahead there's the store (I can't see it yet) and the whole day -- I could be walking home tonight and die, anything could happen, I could scream; I've never heard me scream, never screamed, maybe I'd die quietly... I'd die quietly yes, grip the sleeve of whoever crouches next to me, eyes intense staring (at her eyes, no his, a man rushes to the front), and I wouldn't speak. Who knows... I make everything a victory (no traffic now, the lanes are blocked, next to me the street is quiet) and I can see the store now, I know I'll arrive, maybe I'll tell everyone what I saw, maybe I'll cry (because I'm the victim, the witness)... the parking lot is empty and I didn't stop once, am not late, am on time; the front door is locked still but the back door is open.current mood: First post!

I look forwards to seeing the work and hearing the comments of the people here.I have nothing for you right now, but I will soon. (Use Your Imagination) |

| chrizzy_crazy I can hear the echo's down the hallway of unfamiliar voices. Their is a strong scent of a mans cologne mixed with that of stale carpet. Its comfortable but not pleasant. There aren't many people around and the few that are dont seem to acknoledge anyone else is in the same area. (2 Dreamers << Use Your Imagination) |

 vacivity I'm new to this community, although not new to writing. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in reading over a few things for me, since I am nervous about showing my friends the things I write. I write a lot of original stories centered around fairy tales, most with homosexual characters as the center figures.Also, does anyone know of anyone writing communities similar to this one on Greatestjournal.com?

 shatteredrose hello,this is my first post to this community. i ordered a canon powershot s1 and it came in today's mail. it's my first time experimenting with digital photography. today was rather windy and cloudy, so it was difficult at times to hold the camera steady. i shot mostly macro-type images, but without a macro lens. i do have a macro, but i was too lazy to put it on. i was out for about 20 minutes and i just took some random photographs. here are three of them. i would appreciate some constructive criticism, especially from people who have used the same camera.let me know what you think...p.s.: i am normally much more original, but this was really just a camera-testing session. thanks!( Read more...Collapse ) (1 Dreamer << Use Your Imagination) |

| 7:55 pm - Not Coming Home |
 job_12_3 Not Coming HomeI never thought to say goodbye.I think I’ve missed my chanceTo hug you just that one last time,To let you know just what you meant.And now when it’s already too lateIt’s these moments when I wishI could’ve just had a bit more time.This shouldn’t have to be goodbye for us,But in the end I know that it must.‘Cause in the end, the tearful end,You won’t be coming home.My head is reelingWith all these regrets of yesterdayOf all those times I let life get in the way.Now I can’t go back,And I’ve let you fall down to your knees,Though it were your finger on the trigger,Some blame still rests with me.This shouldn’t have to be goodbye for us,But in the end I know that it must.‘Cause in the end, the tearful end,You won’t be coming home.Maybe if I hadn’t let us fall away,There would be no reasonFor me to cry today.And I don’t want to say goodbye,But it’s all there’s left to say,Rest in peace, my dear friendWe may yet meet again someday.This shouldn’t have to be goodbye for us,But in the end I know that it must.‘Cause in the end, the tearful end,You won’t be coming home.With all my love,JobR.I.P Josh Bennet 9-27-04current mood:  gloomy (Use Your Imagination) |
