What if Cinderella never lived happily ever after?

I'm not in the mood to write an entire article today- so I'm going to babble about what's on my mind at the moment... okay? Good.

Hmm, more like a journal entry:

Mood: Confuzzled and Hurt

Current Weather: Windy. Hot. Annoying.

Currently listening to: Halo by Beyonce

Thought of the day: Why can't I be different?

I'm going to share a new poem I wrote yesterday...

Her Masquerade

She needs no sequins-

no glitter of the fools.

She laughs with her friends-

her smile, the greatest tool.

She's forced to waltz-

to an unfamiliar beat.

In the rhythm of life-

she can't even compete.

She met her Prince Charming-

or so she thought.

But he sees the intricate mask-

not the battles she's fought.

Her masquerade is over-

as she reaches for the gun.

She pulls the icy trigger-

reality has won.

*sigh* Okay, I know it wasn't interesting at all- but it was a post, and I hadn't posted in forever.

Try again tomorrow?

"Rain, Rain, go away.." >_< Shut. Up. Little girl- I want it to rain.

Alright- so right now, it's very cloudy at my house and I'm hoping that it will rain. >_<>

~ "Singin' in the rain..." Believe me, singing and dancing in the rain (no matter your amount of talent) is so much fun! Turn up your favorite song, and rock it!

** Some songs that work for me are:

+Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds- The Beatles

+I am the Walrus- The Beatles

+Show me What I'm Looking for- Carolina Liar

+1,2,3,4- Plain White T's

~ Play in the puddles! Put on those rain boots and stomp your anger away! (Don't be afraid to get down and dirty!) ^_^

~ Find a somewhat dry spot to read, write, or meditate. To me, the sounds of rain is very calming... -_-

~ DON'T MOVE! O_o I'm serious, let the wind blow away your worries- the rain wash away your tears, just let nature comfort you. It's more spiritual than crazy, trust me. >_< *flicks your nose*

Adios Amigos!

It's all fun and games until a charity reaches their goal, isn't it?

Ah, okay, after having my neighbor and his friend try to drown me, I'm ready to write. Let's DO THIS! >_< *insert motivational air punch here*

Okay, so earlier today I discovered a new social networking site called SocialVibe. There, you create a profile just like any other social site, except you also choose a charity you wish to support. When you perform certain acts around the site... you earn points! *This is where you say: Whee!* Those points will tell the sponsor you chose to donate a certain amount of money to your cause. Cool right? I know. *sizzle* ^_^

But anyway, check it out people...! It's a great way to raise money for charity, without giving money or leaving your home. (Damn, we're lazy.)

What are you waiting for? Pigs to fly? Well guess what? Swine Flu has come and gone... so move it! >_< http://www.socialvibe.com/ And once you're there- add me! (i_heart_wicca) ^_^

Give a little, Give a lot- but don't give up!

What am I Staring at?!?

*sigh* I'm warning you all right now- I'm not a happy camper. Why? Because my father is a complete @ss. UGH! *slams head against computer* Alright, I'm done. -_- Anyways... I'm not really in the mood to write a complete article tonight, so I'm going to show off a poem that may spark some thought. Enjoy! ^_^

I once knew a girl who would just stand there and stare.

At anyone or anything, she seemed not to care
She'd stare at the ground,
She'd stare at the sky.
She'd stare at you for hours, and you'd never know why.
But after winning the local staring contest,
she finally gave her eyes a well-deserved rest.

~ Staring Girl by: Tim Burton

I'm often caught staring- but I don't even realise it. I can stare at someone for 10 min. straight and not even think a single thought about them. Am I too, a Staring Girl? o_o

I know this article was rather boring- but stay tuned for tomorrow!

"No, no- go on. I always yawn when I'm interested."

**The tips given in this article are mainly for entertainment- but if you feel the desire to try them, be my guest...**

Well- because I'm writing tonight's post so late... I'm going to make it quick. Why not make it long anyway? Because I don't have to. ;P

Alright- so today's mini topic is "polite conversation". A very random choice, I know, but when my rival father kept babbling at dinner this evening- I felt I had no choice but to write about this.

So first of all, what exactly is "polite conversation"? It's generally small talk during an awkward silence between two people. Depending on the cause of "awkwardness" between the two people, the conversations can be very dreary or somewhat natural as the two emit a sense of fake normality. Also, "polite conversation" often occurs after a disagreement or dramatic event that involves those in the "polite conversation". Now that we're clear on what it is- I'm going to try to give tips on how to survive it...

1. If you haven't been trapped in P.C. yet- busy yourself with food, music, or a similar activity that will show the other person you're not interested in conversation.
   
2. If caught, don't give in just yet- hint with signs of boredom to lure them away.


3. Still not working? Disengage. Simply don't talk to the person- give a nod every now and then if you must.


4. Being impolite not your style? Talk to the person- and if there was a dramatic event between you two, talk it out. If you're going to have to engage with this person, make use of it.


5. And lastly, if you find that you still end up acting like people from 1950's suburbia- just grin and bear it. Soon enough- the person will leave or you'll find something to do. If not- well, a confrontation of how annoying they are or ignoring that person may be necessary.

I would love to hear any stories of "polite conversation" you may have endured...!
