I just got back from Japan. It was amazingly fun. Their design is amazing. I hope that I can go back. I think next on my list is Scandanavia... :)

I don't usually write in free verse, but I liked how this came out... it may be longer.

I think you have turn on all the lights in my heart
You left them on and now I feel warm
It has been left empty and yet now it is filled with light
The lights are left in the windows for you to return
Come home.

It reminds me of this little books called "The Dreamers: a club" illustrated by Edward Penfield which talk about one of the characters having enough romantic envoys that he fancied himself a poet.

Eyelashes

Every eyelash, I have spent for you
Every hope and every tear
Every wish and every want
Every cry and every fear
Every fountain and every shooting star in the never ending sky
And all that I asked of them is to someday have you by.

Russian Roulette

It's a Russian roulette of flower petals
A cutthroat game of Hearts
That tells me I should stay with you and never be apart

Night and Day

Night and Day
Night and Day
It's not your fault, I feel this way
But I will tell you, if I may
That all feelings from joy to dismay
Oscillates from Night to Day

Tears

I think my God has cursed me
To love no one but you
Movie stars and cheap town bars
Cannot compare or do
So I�ll let my heart lie fallow
And suffer all its pain
And slowly I will drown myself
Among the drops of rain

But what cruelty have I found here
You let me thirst to death
But somehow I still love you
And I won�t give up just yet.

People yearn to write love notes in other people's skies
But what about those unlucky folks who have none such as I
I am but a waif that travels through the seas
And I feel as though I'm drowning when the water hits my knees

What a silly sot I've been
What a hopeless thoughtless cow
It's right that I should feel like this
But really, not right now...

Saw this on Zanzibar's blog and I decided that I wanted to give it a try.

1. First thing you wash in the shower? Hair or the side of my right hip.

2. What color is your favorite hoodie? Grey. It the UW one with the long sleeves. It has now superceded the green one from Ireland mostly because the Ireland one shrunk: never let foreigners convince you to buy a medium.

4. Do you plan outfits? When I buy them� and then never after that.

5. How are you feeling RIGHT now? Groggy?

7. Do you say aim or a-i-m? Aim.

8. Tell me about the last dream you remember having? I remember having a dream just now, but I�m not exactly sure about the details� I guess I could tell you about the delivery service dream where I was a galaxy pizza delivery person and I was supposed to be able to deliver a pizza to anywhere in the galaxy in 30 minutes or less but the thing is we always ran into big monsters and strange alien creatures who wanted to thwart us but because we were the finest pizza people ever we still managed to get the pizzas there on time� that was until they built a machine that could outsource our labor.

9. Did you meet anybody new today? Just woke up!

10. What are you craving right now? Food� Toothbruh�

11. Do you floss? Er�

12. What comes to mind when I say cabbage? The phrase �Fell of the cabbage truck� and that place is Discworld that grows exclusively cabbage.

13. When was the last time you talked on aim? Geez� I don�t think I was much on AIM when I was on AIM. I was on Yahoo today (it checks my email for me).

14. Are you emotional? Not in a bad way, but yeah, I am subject to wide depth and breadth of emotions. But no, I�m not an oversharer.

15. Would you dance to the taco song? Probably. I dance to pretty much anything so long as it has a beat. I dance to it more if it�s very repetitive and inane, but you see, I haven�t heard the song.

16. Have you ever counted to 1,000? I feel like I have, but I could be wrong.

17. Do you bite into your ice cream or just lick it? I bite it. I�ve tried licking, really tried� it does not function.

19. Do you like yourself? Yup, I�m a pretty cool chick.

20. Have you ever met a celebrity? I went to authors talks for Stephenie Meyer, Christopher Paolini, and I think Tomi DiPaolo. Otherwise? No, not really.

22. What are you listening to right now? Me. typing.

23. How many countries have you visited? I think I am at 11 going on 12.

24. Are your parents strict? Like Zanzi said, they're reasonable.

25. Would you go sky diving? Maybe� which probably means no because sky diving is not something you should do on a 'maybe'.

27. Would you throw potatoes at him? Why?

39. Every been in love? I think I might just be...

40. Do you have a cell-phone? Yes! Though beware, it�s really just a glorified landline.

41. Are you too forgiving? I can�t see how that is possible� I guess I will always forgive someone and I�ll never� well just throw them out in the cold, but I will not always trust them. Earning trust is a constant battle even if you haven�t done anything wrong, so it�s different then having to forgive someone.

42. Do you use chap stick? No and my lips suffer immensely for it. I also keep on thinking about what Zanzi says about it just making you need more chapstick and I just can�t bring myself to keep up the habit.

44. Can you use chop sticks? I can pick up rice with chopsticks.

48. What was the last CD you bought? I think it was Three Day�s Grace.

54. Do looks matter? They sure help!

55. Have you ever bought anything from Pac Sun? Don�t think so�

56. Have you ever slapped someone? Very half-heartedly. I think I�ve kicked people in the face much harder than I�ve ever slapped anyone, then again slapping calls for a certain amount of deliberate action.

My little lion, come to your sheep
Let us lie a while, let us sleep
Let your eyes roam over me
Leave your paw on my side
Give your heart for my holding
And let your pride die
Then when I see you as clear as day
I will kiss you face and we can play
