Maybe Locker Room Discrepancies will lend you some....
Oh, and I have been called 'a force of nature' before. It's nice to know I'm loved.

Quote: P.S. Maggie, I've been meaning to talk to you about the quote in your profile. I googled it, and got the most amazing website. Is that yours? No, I was looking for quotes one day... I want to say that it was specifically "inspiration quotes", but maybe it wasn't, I don't remember... and I just happened to come across it. I thought it was beautiful so I put it there. I forgot to put who the author was, didn't I? sweatdrop What was the website that you found? Edit: Apparently it's from a song... Bette Midler - "The Rose"

Peaches, bravery is not being unafraid, but doing what you must in the face of your fears. I think I read that somewhere. Maggie, I found the quote here: http://www.freewebs.com/mourningwolf/Oh, and I love Bette Midler--even though she's against gay marriage even though the better part of her fanbase is gay.... stare Love and Vale, -LD EDIT: A look online might prove my sources false on the Bette Midler subject.

Hmmm...that is a wise saying indeed. I have passed some of my shy issues. I posted a story a while ago on fictionpress. If you'd like I'll post it here, but I need a proof reader first....I KNOW I have mistakes. n_n;
I'm still very uncertain when it comes to my writing though.
Note: All my posts are auto formated when I'm home...otherwise I'm somewhere else. XD

We post things here pretty raw--in fact, most of my poetry, and all of LRD was originally typed on Gaia, along with much of Vel and Val.... If I could make a suggestion, it would be: just post it, and let the pieces fall where they may.
The worst thing that could happen is that people would ignore it. Flaming is not allowed (although I can be quite the flamer at times...hehehe), and really, we look forward to anything else, praise or criticism, as it may come. The best thing you can do for yourself is take the step (and I know, initially it seems like a pretty big step) to post your work here.
Personally, I've never met a truly great writer who doesn't indulge in a little shameless self-promotion. For me, it's wrong to be overly concerned with how your work will be received until you've put it out there and heard what's to be said.
Love and Vale,
-Leavaros

*Throws chair at* here ya go... there's something bothering me, ok, so we have all this advanced technology and stuff right, you'd think all the classrooms in the school would have wipe boards, but no, the classroom i'm in has a good old fashion chalk board... it's a mystery to me, guess i could ask why.

My heart exploded and my head split apart. As graphic as that sounds, it's what happened when I typed out the first part of my story...I never knew how much nerves could be felt just after one post. n_n; Well it's all thanks to Leavy-kun for helping me...sort of lol.

I'll get to it in the next couple days, promise.
---
Today's the roughest day I've had in a long time.
Ever feel like everyone is really only being themselves around you when it pleases them? I don't like doubting my friends, but there it is. Today, it felt like no one was really there at all--it's like there was another degree of separation added between people. I felt cold and distant.
I've been reading this amazing book called After by Francine Prose, and I don't really know how to describe it, other than I got chills on my arms and legs and knots in my stomach and back every other page. My god, but that book is creepy, in a--I can't believe I'm reading this, but can't bring myself to put it down--kind of way. I finished it when I got home today, and the ending was such a strange mixture of letdown and mystery that it perfectly fit the book.
Then, after I finished it, I decided I needed a walk badly. So I did just that--and on the way, I ran into Preston--yeah, that Preston, and I'll explain him to those who don't remember later. It would have been nice, but that separation was there. He greeted me and left me with a handshake, even though his right hand was broken, and my left hand doesn't function too well. *sigh* I wish I had just hugged him. I needed a hug so bad, and I have a feeling that he gives great hugs. It was kind of depressing.
I told him about LRD, which he feigned interest in. After a moment or two of awkwardness after we had caught up, he had said that he had to go back to college. We said our goodbyes *handshake* and parted ways. I went to walk around my circle, and visit my tree, which I hadn't in the recent past, because of sewer reconstruction.
It took me a few moments to realize it wasn't there.
I don't think I've run so hard for a stationary thing in my whole life.
It was gone. I looked stupidly, searching and searching for what wasn't there. There wasn't even a stump. My heart broke, over a tree. I know it sounds overdramatic, but I felt tears p***k my eyes. I tried to console myself, saying that it was only a tree, but I felt the lie and the treachery.
Because it wasn't just a tree. It was my tree. I loved that tree. I could remember some of my youngest memories looking at it, or climbing into it's crook, or later reading under it, or talking with a friend under it. I remember its flowers in winter, when the whole tree would turn into a beautiful blue mass sustained by a graceful, silver trunk. Oh, how can I explain the sensations that would run through me when my hand glided across the rough-smooth bark!
When I saw the emptiness today, it's like a part of me died. I wish I could cry for it, but...I'm not sure I can. It's almost certain you'll see a poem out of this. Strange as it sounds, my tree deserves that, at least.
I went to the store later today, and bought Civ IV. Sometimes, only wargames can heal the soul.

Aww...I get what your going through...well the tree part. I had a tree once too. It was in front of my friends house. Oddly enough she had plumbing problems and the tree was too be taken out. I nearly yelled at them. "NO! You can't get rid of this tree! It's been here since before I was born. Since before my Dad was born...." I almost cried.
I hope you feel better and not just cause of the tree thing. No one deserves to be unhappy.
