On a string

Oh love, The more strength that you use, The more movements you make, The more it feels like art and It's as if I live on a string. Oh, Love love love, I obeyed yesterday and I'll obey (perhaps) tomorrow But today let's forget the sorrow, On these streets, Let us live live I'm the sanest bundle of math That you'll ever meet, but for you, For you I will turn to physics and (perhaps) chemistry... Honestly.

laundry machine symphony

It's Thursday night and I feel as though there's something I've forgotten to do. I can't tell whether my mind is less organized than the desk threatening to consume me with its piles of out-dated crap. There's an opening among all the garbage that sits beyond my keyboard – an empty glass with the remnants of wine reigns over the space. My face burns. I switch between throwing my head into my palms and looking up at the word document. I'm a college student and I'm home alone – better off than most existential characters yet still feeling like scum. I wish I had more wine. I could wish a lot of things but there's always the threat of tomorrow

Individual vs. Society by Antonina, literature

Individual vs. Society

I dare you to hold me back - To keep me locked between the lines, I dare you to bind me in a book - To make me follow all these signs. I dare you to chain me to the ground - To force me to look up into the sun, I dare you to pin me to your cross - To restrain me from what's begun. I won't dare to heed your creeds - I don't care to feed your needs. I will break through all your grids - All your outlines and your morals, I will take just what I please - Choose the road amongst the corals. I will shake the universe's frame - Cause the stars to shine bright red, I will take the road less traveled - Be amongst the wise who'd fled.

Less than three. by Antonina, literature

Literature

Less than three.

How vaguely I remember the day when we first met - I was passing through the shadows, unaware of any threat. And then he came and seized me with the most compelling gaze - Oh what a look he gave me! I have remembered it for days. He must've been a creature of some enchanting kind - For when he called me forward, I felt quite inclined To obey his commanding calling and fall victim to his whim. Whatever affairs then ensued, my memory masks up dim.

Senseless words leak from my fingers, Look at the mess I've made! But do not worry, I'll erase it With my elbows and knees And sweep up the debris with my tongue. You shan't wait long for my passive apologies, I have them lined up and waiting, Like women and children in Auschwitz, All for you, mein Gott. So if you're ever offended Or if you're ever bored Just tip me over and pour them out. I'll feed you excuses for lunch and for dinner. You'll never go hungry with me Just around the corner. I'll wait for you during second lunch Right under that sun and above that book Which I never did nor ever will read. I won't be hard to

First Feature

0 min read

I really ought to learn CSS... And now I shall feature some works out of my favorites which remind me of a place I dreamt of last night... If only I could draw/paint/describe the things I've seen... It had many moons, gray light, purple and blue and green landscape, far-off hills decorated with human dwellings that would put the most magnificent Gothic castles to shame, old twisting trees, a beach with giants and their pets... fear, beauty, life. :thumb19178291: :thumb28823367: :thumb6710408: :thumb23586898: :thumb13599031: :thumb12066546: :thumb18778033: :thumb7072004: :thumb2904487: :thumb559246: :thumb780032: :thumb14579832: I h

I'm Baaack!

So... it's been a while. I had 3,000 deviations to go through. And I wasn't about to click every link. But I didn't want to miss out on anything grand. And I was planning on getting a subscription sometime anyway.... so I got a subscription now. And I went through the 3,000 deviations and 200 messages ^_^ I still haven't looked into the neat things I can do as a subscribed user. I'm not sure when I will. I have a year. So England was fantastic, as usual. Did I mention I got accepted into Boston University? Well, I chose to go to FIU for free instead. Good decision. The school is so much fun. My research adviser seems like a fun guy. And I

A Change of Spirit

0 min read

I'm half-way through the finals. Packing home. Looking forward to this summer and seeing the world through rose-tinted glasses. Got an unexpected phone call from the long lost Frank who said we should be "best friends" again. We spoke like nothing ever happened. I've yet to hear him grin (he had the loudest grins I've ever seen) but he burst out laughing on my answering machine today - which was pretty awesome ^_^ TWO MORE DAYS UNTIL I'M IN MIAMI! My love and I have uber awesome plans for the summer. Lotsa picnics, swimming, massages and things. I can't wait to have him in my arms again. Feel his warmth. Tag along wherever he goes. Etc. Etc
