I danced in the rain today...
An bicycled in the dark, with drops in my eyes

and wrote this:

The marble can not hold

The ideal woman: that was me.

Childhood stories of Faith, Hope and Chastity.

All those things you stole from me.

I gave you my Chastity.

The cracks are appearing, thin and cold

And with that you took Hope too.

For I knew I could not marry you.

And I knew you would never be true.

There was too much you had to do.

The plinth is growing worn and old

And all that’s left is the Faith

Faith in what we could do

Until you smashed that Faith too

And gave me a man that was wrong.

And you’ve lost the gloss of gold

The scales are stuck, and my heart is pinned,

Withered and black and wholly yours in

All its shallow depths. Enjoy the thin

Piteous mews of blind devotion.

You’ve lost the gloss of gold.

And the plinth is grey with mould,

Whilst your cracks grow evermore cold

For this marble castle can not hold.

So... Bellatrix's thoughts for Lord Voldemort...
Next, if I am inspired, his thoughts for her

Whoah, haven't posted for ages...
so here's a chance to tell you guys everything...

Ok - first things first: Junior Drama was bloody amazing! I know it was a few weeks ago, but they still haven't released the stupid results... I mean, how long can it take that woman to make up her mind? Seriously...
What else? Oh yeah, my Driving Instructor is starting to talk about me taking my test! I'm pretty astonished, because only a week ago he called me a 'hazard' and said that every time he thought of me on the roads he had a heart attack... So complete turn around there... I'm kind of worried actually - what if this week was just a one off? I don't feel ready to take the test - I've just started the theory. Half of it is commonsense and then half of it is impossible, and I can't even seem to find half the answers to the questions in my book (which appears to assume that I would just know the three times you can overtake on the left or whatever...)
So that's really keeping me busy, practicing my (somewhat erratic) driving and learning the theory. On top of that I've got a singing exam coming up and I am seriously poor at my pieces, so they need working on.
And then my assessments... well, the least said the better. It's not that I failed them or anything ghastly like that, I just didn't do as well as everybody had hoped, and it's not all my fault either! Serioulsy, I'm not just saying that - half the time i lost marks for answering the question in the wrong way. It's my job top learn the knowledge, but its the teachers' jobs to teach me the exam technique!
And then this final thing that's been bugging me... I've totally lost my appetite and feel quite ill when I eat more than a little. I mean I can manage a small lunch, but at the moment I'm supposed to be at dinner and the smell of the food is making me squirm. I don't know what it is - I also appear to have gained weight recently... hope this isn't some strange disease like appendicitis or something...(unlikely, but allow me the dramatics)
and i seriously have NO time for my writing! AARRGGHHH!! I WANT to write more of Names, and I seriously want to read MUE, Mooks, but i just have NO bloody time...
On another note, Valentine's Day approaches... help! I dopn't even know if the girl is supposed to get her boyfriend a present, or just a card, or just be really nice to him that day...

So yeah, if you just read all that I now advise that you go and find yourself and asprin...

WOOOO!!!
YAY!
I was supposed to be revising this weekend, but instead I finally wrote Chapter 14 of Names!
Let's hear a cheer!

Anyways, please go and read it... it's quite a sad chapter I'm afraid, but there.

YAY

2007-01-23T20:42:46Z

Oooooh, I'm dead thrilled!
Nearly finished chapter 14 of Names! (finally)
and here's a teaser for all of you out there who may be interested....

I was shaken. Was this true? Had the Dark Lord struck to the very core of the fragile family unit that called itself The Order of the Phoenix?

And on another note:

The Golden man

In a distant land far, far away,

And across the raging seas,

There lived a man in a forest glade

Surrounded by old oak trees.

This man was a man with a terrible curse;

A gift from mistreated friends.

His touch was jinxed and much, much worse

His fingers were gold at the ends.

The poor man’s curse would last forever

And made him both grey and old.

And touch another he knew he could never,

For his touch turned people to gold.

Because of this curse the forest glade

Was filled with a radiant light.

From golden statues his fingers had made

Of people frozen in fright.

His wife she stood, all stiff and cold

And his little girl by her side.

Both were gleaming all of gold

And neither could move if they tried.

Not a day went by, he did not lament

The terrible curse on his head.

And I am told it only went

Away when he was cold and dead.

The randomness!
Anyways, the ending is weak but otherwise I quite like this.

Demands

2007-01-17T21:17:28Z

Randomness - all my usual websites have logged me out... Anyone know if this is the sign of deadly hacker activity or something?

My room is SHAKING! Turned the music up so loud. I can actually feel the beat shaking the walls.

I'm tired, and I'm running out of me to give. At the moment most of my friends are going through similar - Junior Drama (demanding, but yes, ultimately rewarding) and these assessments coming up (no, I haven't revised yet)

Everyone currently wants some of my time - and to cap it off my parents are commandeering my entire Sunday to go and have lunch with a business partner of my Dad's. Well I'm sorry, but I WILL be taking my laptop and I will be working there. I simply can not spend an entire Sunday in 'leisure' (yeah, I forgot to mention, it's a 2 hour car journey both ways). The car - ah, the perfect place to do my essay (if I can find my setbook which Helen conveniently lost in T10).

Siiighh

I am trying, and I'm not really particularly upset with anyone at the moment for making unfair demands - I do understand. Still, I'm really being stretched thin - I had to cancel driving today because of Junior Drama, and they still charged my Mum for it, so she's not happy. Stupid driving people.

My whole body aches, and I'm going through that boring 'tired but not sleeping' phase. Guess its the stress...

And I haven't had time to read properly for weeks - seriously, that's what upsetting me most. I have NO leisure time, because I'm so busy that I feel I have to spend my free minutes with people I've neglected. I'm currently reading this old book of Robin Hood legends and going at a rate of about 20 pages a day if I'm lucky.
That's pathetic.
And stupid teachers keep setting me more and more work. Seriously, if I was also revsing I just would be up for seven hours each night studying.

The only good thing is that stress is always good for my health - I NEVER get ill when I'm under pressure. Apart from understandable headaches - thus have not encountered a single cough, sore throat or cold this entire winter. Touch wood my luck continues.

Sniff - just spent two hours on my biology and got two pages written up. This does not bode well...

Yeah - random rant there. Just as an excuse as to lack of updates here and on ff-net. I really want to work on Names, but the next chapter is a really hard one to write and finding the time and motivation is really really hard.

Sorry to bore u all.

OOH

2006-12-31T15:43:55Z

Oh oh, new Harry Potter fic alert!!
Hermione puts it best...

'It has been revealed to me there is more purpose to this fanfic than a parody about fandom crossovers and our relationships'

The blurb: Sick of confusing crossovers, predictably unlikely relationships, OOC charactars and chronic incontinuities? Here be the fic for you.
For this to truely emulate the fics we all despise, I would have to add poor spelling and vile grammer. I have decided not to, simply because they render a fic unreadable.
Chapter one features an Artemis Fowl crossover. Meant with respect and love for all charactars concerned (except maybe Ron W.)

Happy

2006-12-28T20:35:07Z

I'm HAPPY!

I have the world's most amazing friend. We've had our problems in the past, but I'm starting to feel that I can actually rely on her now, that I can actually trust her.
I don't know... all my life I've held back from friendships. I've never really had a best friend before (strange, ne?), just because I've never trusted anyone enough before. I've always kept these protective walls up, just in case.
I used to need those walls.
And I'm guess i'm just trying to say
Thank you

because a part of me still says

i don't deserve this.
what did i do?
why is this for me?

Thank you
for fixing me

Thank you

Best christmas ever!

2006-12-25T22:39:18Z

I'm so happy! Everything has been absolutely perfect!

Firstly, I was allowed to drive for the very first time to church, going on a B-road!! It was very scarifying but also thrilling and I didn't kill anyone!

Christmas lunch was good - for once I didn't over eat!

And I got an ipod!! And loads of great books!

Finally, the very wonderful Shaitanah wrote me a simply fabulous story!!! And I'm not just saying that - I am truely in awe when it comes ot her talent. Thak you so much - you make the sun shine!
The link is right here - go and read it and gape!

SHAPESHIFTER

Also, a very merry christmas to all of you people out there. May your New Year be filled with happiness!

Because we can smile and smile until our faces ache

2006-12-06T21:28:15Z

I took a trip down Memory Lane today.
A lonely walk all alone.
With those familliar cobbles and pitfalls.
The familliar jeers and stones.

And I'm sad to say,
That the tears came rolling down my face
As I saw those raw memories
and the feelings i tried to erase

I don't have a great past.
No, I wasn't raped, or beaten or abused
But my heart feels sad
That my smile was never used

Children can be cruel - we all know this
Yet we sometimes forget the pain
Until those scars are reopened
And we're eleven once again.

Rumour kills.
People call it suicide.
No.
It's murder.

I cried nearly every day for seven years.

And now, today, my past came and slapped me in the face
'You think you're strong? How dare you? let me remind you of what you really are.'

I don't want to cry again.

And I know that you of all people should hate me
But you said 'No.
i dont think i could, we are friends'

It just made me cry harder.
Thank you.
I love you.
But I'm still crying.

The past is harsh. He really said this to me, and it really made me feel like I was torn in two.
Thank you, all my friends out there.

Upon the lonely road

2006-11-23T11:41:25Z

Upon the lonely road

The angel came to me on the road
And with the angel came no light.
And he leant down and lifted my load
For he said it was a miserable night.

Tthe darkness is coming,' the angel warned,
'And we need you to keep it at bay.'
Around him the blinded bats swarmed,
and he fled from the light of the day.

The angel had a gilded tongue, and teeth
With points that gleamed by the stars.
And he wore golden shackles beneath
The blackened, flowing arras.

'Get back, Angel' I cried. 'To your master, return
GO!' His beauty faded,
and the Darkness glowed
As the angel cursed that I could spurn
The gift of darkness upon the road.

A justification of slash

2006-11-20T22:43:22Z

5 reasons why we should be allowed to write (good) slash.

1. Anyone can write charactars. It takes real literary genius to put charactars in seriously unusual positions which J.K never dreamed of, and still make it interesting/good/funny/heart rending.

2. Writing slash shows a healthy tolerance and acceptance of gay love. If we can imagine our created charactars experiencing it, we should be able to empathise with real people who do.

3. Good slash is sadly hard to find when sifting through the pages of junk out there on the web. There is seriously a shortage of actual sympathetic slash that isn't either banal, improbable or both. We must even the balance.

4. Why shouldn't Harry have feelings for guys? Assuming that just because he is a hero means he can not experience gay urges is very narrow minded. Besides, the books only write about him up to age 16. There's still plenty of scope for gay tendancies to kick in at a later age.

5. Is there actually a more popular pairing out there than Harry/Draco? Seriously. We-who-write-slash are not alone.

Slash should not be:
1. Too graphic. These are teenagers we're talking about.
2. Too improbable. Draco Malfoy is not going to polyjuice himself into a girl's body just to get Harry
3. Explained by simple lust. Slash is out of the norm. Give the charactars a motive, people!
4. Simply handed to you without reasons. Exactly why are these charactars agonising over each other?
5. Too yicky. What is the point of reading fics where Deatheaters rape little boys? Yuck.
6. Simply about the fact that two guys/ girls (if femslash) are together. Yes... and where's the story?
7. Too degrading. Treat the Harry Potter charactars with respect, you horrible lot!
8. Involving Snape and Harry together. Sorry, but they would never do that. YUCK. It just would totally lower Snape's street cred.

Thus, whilst I say I am a fan of slash, I guess in truth I am a fan of moderate tasteful slash. *surevys limited options sadly*

Our Future

2006-11-19T18:36:20Z

Yeah, I'm definately going through a depressing war stage. Anyways, here we are. It's entitled 'Our Future', which is kind of ironic because it isn't a future at all, it's an end...

Darkness rolls across the sky;

The land is black and ill.

We’ll fight and fight until we die,

‘til men and guns lie still.

‘Never again,’ our fathers cried.

‘Wars cause too much hurt.’

Would it hurt their forgotten pride

That we don’t heed their words?

World War Three, World War Three,

Our world is torn by war.

No hope for man, no hope for me.

I’ve seen the whole world fall.

‘In the future there should be no fear,

We’ll be free of death and pain.’

But our future’s now, our future’s here,

We won’t see one again.

Darkness fills our unlit sky;

All earth is dark and ill.

We’ll fight and fight until we die.

‘til men and guns lie still.

I don't know why I'm so damn depressed.

The war horse

2006-11-18T19:00:50Z

I was talking about War with a friend recently and this just came out. Set in the Napoleonic Wars.

Do you remember the bugles?

And the war cries of men.

And the feeling of fear and

Your hand on my neck and then

‘Forwards, on for England

And her King’, they cried.

‘You only live once’.

But so many died.

And we fought as one

As we have for so long

Though my heart was sickened

And I knew it was wrong.

The horse and his knight

One beast, one thought

To hurt and kill, as we

Fought and we fought

And you were there

The whole war through

And into the hell

I plunged just for you

Blood and dirt and pain

And shock and cries

As horses fell

As our men died

And I felt you falter

And I felt you fall

And I saw you curled up

All huddled and small.

Now, dragging steps over

The dirt roads. Alone.

Two of us went to war

But only one comes home.

unfinished poem

2006-11-17T11:10:22Z

A couple of nights ago just after I'd turned off the light, I was hit by inspiration. I grabbed my trusty pen and paper (ALWAYS keep these by your bed - you never know when you will need them) and scribbled down four verses of a poem. And since then I have tried and tried to finish it and nothing comes. So here we are: an unfinished tribute to Lord Voldemort (yes, I am obsessed. No, it is not a problem).

The devil’s looking handsome now,

With countenance serene.

Black curls frame his smooth white brow

And his eyes are softly green.

The devil’s looking mighty fine

And sounding better than before.

His voice is rich like summer wine

And calls you back for more.

The devil’s got the ladies’ looks

Because he’s just divine.

But the devil studies with his books

And will not cross that line.

The devil has no time for love,

Although it strokes his vanity.

Clear headed, he keeps himself above

Love’s frightening insanity.

Weird, I know.

You've read too much fanfiction

2006-11-13T19:50:26Z

You know you've read too much Harry Potter fanfiction when:

1. You know what 'Snarry' means.
2. The thought of Harry and Draco in bed doesn't seem improbable
3. You've imagined yourself meeting Lord Voldemort at least once
4. You've used the word 'Voldie' more than once
5. The name 'Cassie Clare' rings bells
6. You could tell me who is involved when the story summary promises 'Guns'n'handcuffs'
7. You've met Salazar Slytherin
8. You've actually started forgetting what happens in the books, and think that Harry really does kill Voldemort with the Magic Beans of Truth
9. You've seen Snape actually say a nice word to Harry
10. Dumbledore secretly being a phoenix animagus, and returning from the dead at the last moment seems plausible

Hmm. Score more than 4 out of 10 and you have officially joined our ranks (I'm an 8).
So, how'd we do, guys?

The difficulty of pairing Ron Weasley

2006-11-12T10:41:32Z

Ok, now I'm going to have a rant, because I feel like one. This rant is titled 'The difficulty of pairing Ron Weasley'. If you passionately believe that Ron Weasley is a sex machine who is entitled to be paired with any charactar under the sun, then look away now.
I know I'm kind of leaping on the anti-Ron bandwagon here, and its true that my views are influenced by the complete dirth of good Ron fanfiction (if its out there its hiding damn well), but this is what I believe.

Ron/Hermione
Apart from the obvious (it's in the books), this pairing is feasible for several reasons.
1. J.K's Ron feels like he'd probably be somewhat anti-gay and is extremely unlikely to get a boyfriend. I just don't think he's that adventurous - he feels too conventional, like his whole family. Find a wife, get married, have kids. Besides, if any Weasley is going to turn out gay, it's got to be Percy.
2. There is definite sexual tension between Ron and Hermione in the books and films to work with.
3. He's really a bit short of choice other than Hermione! Almost every other girl in the school obviously thinks he's an idiot (with good cause in many cases). He's not cool like Harry and his interactions with girls are limited to his sister and Hermione (at least those we hear about). The Lavender thing was a bit weird, proving that he does have a bit of pull power, but ultimately he was only doing it to hurt Hermione, and it was neither a strong nor lasting relationship. Hermione's the only girl he's close enough to to actually build a meaningful relationship with.

Ron/Harry
This just feels so strange to me. They have always been good friends, and after you've been friends like that for six or whatever years, well, it just seems such an out of the ordinary jump. Also, I tend to find these are pretty poorly written and so fail to convince me (eg Harry: I'm bored, Ron: Me too, Harry: Wanna try something new?). As I said before, he just doesn't feel that adventurous, and fanfics where he is adventurous, dashing etc are very few and far between. Also, even if Harry and Ron did have feelings for each other, I think they might both be too scared to tell each other in case it ruins their friendship!

Ron/Draco
The most unlikely pairing out there! One thing everybody agrees on is that Draco has good taste. He'd just look and feel so crap with Ron hanging off his arm. Also Draco is proud (or at least gives the appearance of it). He and his family look down on the Weasleys far too much for him to 'contaminate' himself by seeing Ron. Harry/Draco is far more likely because they actively hate each other, and hate can turn to love, whereas Draco merely despises Ron, and that seems unlikely to change. And finally, Draco is smart. He would choose his lovers for a reason - will they bring him power/ prestige/ safety? He just doesn't strike me as someone who'd bother messing around with the sidekick who has little to offer him (sorry Ron, but to Draco its true)

Ron/any other Weasley
This family does NOT give off incest vibes. Any fanfics I've read where it's been a Weasley-fest with Ron involved just come across as very contrived. Why would any of them actually want him? It's not like he's stunningly attractive so makes them want to brush aside silly rules. The Weasley family is very traditional - Mother, Father, kids. Father works, Mother stays at home, kids go to school and move on to jobs. Even Fred and George, the rebels, aren't too out of the norm. So what they left school? They set up a lucrative business and are now shopkeepers. None of the Weasleys seem sufficiently inclined towards unnatural sexual tendancies to want to indulge in incest (except possibly the twins, but only in extremely well-written fics, otherwise its very banal). Can we all please leave it that way?

Ron/Sirius
They both love Harry. Are they really going to do that to him?

Ron/Lupin
See Ron/Sirius. Sigh.

Ron/Snape
Yuck. Snape would never, ever bother. Imagine how damaging it would be to his reputation if that got out. Like Draco it's not that he hates Ron, he just has supreme contempt for him, and that seems unlikely to change.

Ron/Lord Voldemort
Why the hell would Voldemort bother? What does it get him?

Ron/ <insert name>'s American cousin
Urgh, the introduction of American cousins tend to make me stop reading the fic. They are nearly always mary sues, understanding everything and all the people even if they've never been there before, stunningly attractive, mysteriously powerful, of specific interest to Lord Voldemort etc. And they tend to have puke-worthy names like Starr, Destiny etc. Basically, if your plot won't work without the introduction of an implausible charactar then you need a new plot. I digress.
All right, let's work through systematically.
Ron/Harry's cousin: Dudley? You're joking, right?
Ron/any Weasley's cousin: see notes on Ron/any other Weasley. He's just not the incestuous type.
Ron/Hermione's cousin: hmm, possibly the most plausible but still highly unlikely as Hermione's entire family are muggles, so how the hell does this cousin get to Hogwarts?
Ron/Draco's cousin: Yeah, even if the cousin doesn't share Draco's taste, pride, etc Draco's going to make damn sure they don't mix with Ron's type
Ron/Voldemort's cousin: I actually read one of these. It was *wrong*. Besides, I thought Voldie was the last of his line. His uncle Morpeth had no kids, and his Dad had no brothers or sisters.
Basically Ron/nauseating cousin of either gender is again out of charactar for him. Ron's a follower, not a leader (don't believe me? Apart from being prefect everything he does Harry does first. If you're suddenly going to make him the protagonist and very heroic, bold etc you'd better be very confident in your writing skills)

Well I'm sorry if you don't agree with me. I just don't see Ron as a person with sex appeal, and I am obviously not alone in this opinion as there are very few fics I've read which tried to persuade me otherwise. If you know some very good Ron slash or hetfics feel free to direct me to them.

Recently I've been thinking about my feelings, and I've got a friend who I feel that I'm too possessive towards. So this is an immense exageration of the conversation I had with her

I'm jealous because when we're 'us' we're great
but when you're 'them' I hate it.
I hate it because I can make you smile,
But I know they can too.
I hate it when I find out your problems because they've
already fixed them. Sorry.
But I'm jealous.
I'm jealous when you smile for them. And I feel bad
because I love them, but they don't understand.
I need you.
I'm jealous because I feel as if my claim to you
is being invaded. It's wrong, I know.
I can't possess you. I don't want to possess you.
If you were a lover, maybe.
But you're not. You're a friend. I only ever want you to be a friend.
But I want you to be MY friend.
You callousness makes me hope. It means you don't know.
You can't see how I'm watching you.
You don't understand. I want you to be mine.
And mine alone.
I'm a bitch.
A selfish bitch.
I can see that.
But I'm jealous when I find out what you've done
Without me.
And I'm jealous that you're happy when I'm crying.
I'm so jealous.
I wish I was blind like you.
Blind to my bad self.
And I wish I was kind like you.
But most of all, I wish you'd cry.
So I can make it better.

I'm sorry. I love you. I think that's the problem.

A random poem from a random person.

Good morning Alex! It's a beautiful day
I can hear the breezes shake those buds of may,
And still soft sleeps holds its sway.
I tell you Alex, I miss these days.

Wake up Alex! Shake sleep from your eyes
that close so skillfully to all your lies.
In the morning they look like they could cry.
But they won't Alex, til the day you die.

Pancakes, Alex? And breakfast in bed?
Your take coffee black, as you always said.
It's stewed to a soup by the time you're fed.
It's easy to eat breakfast when your lover is dead.

Good night Alex, good night my love.
I'll watch over you from high above.
Sweet dreams my murdering dove.

Yeah, as a btw i don't and have never had a partner called Alex. The name just came up and I wrote this. Hmm. Make of it what you will.
