~It All Stays~
the beauty of all of me is in it
the beauty of all of it is in me
saline from my eyes drips in it
the softness of your skin stays with me
the blue of the sky lies for it
the blue of the sky cries for me
loose strands of my hair fly to it
the blondness of your head falls on me
you were to be mine and things changed
this world was to be mine but things change
the beauty of all of it stays with me
the beauty of all of me stays in it
the sadness of everyday speaks in it
the sadness of everyday screams to me
best hopes of the best of them transcend it
the hopelessness that you left stays with me
you were to be mine and things changed
this world was to be mine but things change
the sadness of all of it stays with me
the sadness of all of me stays in it
we were to be ours and things changed
this world was to be ours but things change
the beauty of all of you stays with me
the beauty of all of you stays in it |

[seconds and thirds]
i sat at the bar
all by myself
i waited for him
he showed up
we started to talk
he was boring as hell
then he went home
i stayed and got drunk
tell me why is it so easy to find a man
but so hard to find one i like who also likes me
everybody wants
to give you a chance
but seconds and thirds don't come so easily ( Read more... ) |

~*Adventures in People Watching*~
We're wearing the same shirt
And I just want you to notice
So we can share a laugh
Is that so much to ask?
I just want a stranger to smile back
I just want a stranger to smile back
I got my iPod case open
Turned the brightness up
Got my back straight hopin'
That you'll like my stuff
I just want a stranger to smile back
I just want a stranger to smile back
(At me one of these days)
I get so lonely
Am I the only
Girl
Looking to make a friend
In this cold cold world?
I get so lonely
Am I the only
Kid
Looking for a friend
In this hipster city? |

Murder the Day
feed the fish
feed the rats
gather the blankets
take a nap
alarm goes off
i hit snooze
alarm goes off
i hit snooze
alarm goes off
i hit snooze...
eventually i do get up
realize you never called
realize that no one called
curse my life
curse them all
all my so-called friends
and the boys in my pants
everything comes to an end
for me nothing ever begins
pick up the laptop
open it up ( Read more... ) |

i felt like a different girl yesterday
my hair bounced in the breeze
i looked good i think i was normal
maybe i was a hipster then
for a moment
still the same boring weirdo underneath the trendy outfit though
was anyone watching did anyone see?
i was smiling!
i was smiling in the sunshine like a pretty girl
that kind of happiness only money buys
but i spent it |

i don't have
i have sex but i don't have love
i have work but i don't got money
i have friends but i don't got many
i have fun but then i get sad
i've got the talent but not the skill
the drive but not the energy
high hopes but pessimistic dreams ( Read more... ) |

Kevin McDonald
i'd always been craving to meet you
to shake your hand or maybe get a hug
and there was so much i was to tell you
so much i needed you to know about yourself and me
i shook your hand but i felt nothing
just the giddiness and dizziness and shaking
we spoke briefly and sweetly but we said nothing
the opportunities were there but i never got to say what i'd planned ( Read more... ) |

flashback memories
These moments break you
Like those songs that make you cry
Just because
Because some feeling comes and takes you
You don’t know why
Just because
When the streetlight changes with the key on your headphones
Flashback memories stored in your bones
Distract you on the crosswalk
And if you get hit, you’ll be hit, and that’s it, that’s it
“Whatever,”
You say,
“Let it come what may.”( Read more... ) |

do you weep?
do you think of how the world's in disarray
turn the volume up
drown out the train
look beyond the tunnels
to the jobless and the hate
does it make you cry?
spy the headlines in the metro someone left
on a yellow seat
ponder the defeat
of liberalism

[Dec. 25th, 2007|08:16 pm] |
Some of my friends might remember I tried my hand at webcomicry back in college with a weird series, illustrated crudely in AppleWorks Paint, called Janet. Most of the originals can still be seen at http://laurasub.freeservers.com/ in the old directory there (but there are spoilers in the comics! Read this first if you haven't seen them, and maybe you'll want to wait and find out everyone's secrets as I get to them!). Oddly, I never forgot those characters. I think they've grown up with me over the last few years. I don't know if I can do the art, but I decided to let myself go back to writing for them.
It's a weird first-person inner monologue style, more suited maybe to a graphic novel than to plain text, but I hope you like it and I hope I keep it up.

so like me
my life has fallen to disrepair
hope has dissolved into despair
as far ahead as i can see
this is so like me
i gave away my favorite toy
turned my back with scorn and spurned joy
how lame can one girl be
this is so like me
work all day and sleep all night
feed the pets and fight the fight
clean up the messes when i'm not too tired
meet up with friends before time's expired
try to ignore the pain
tablets meant to comfort and sooth the brain
watch the water twirl into the drain
next week, do it again
lay around and watch tv
this is so like me
i gave away my favorite toy
turned my back with scorn and spurned joy
how lame can one girl be
oh this is so like me |

On the Meaning of Life
I've heard a lot lately from close friends about the meaning of life, or the absence thereof, really. For all my depression and all my years of dark thoughts, I never pondered this too much. I'm fascinated by how we create meanings for life, and I've pondered that a lot, and I've got some wacky theories. But as for the real meaning and purpose of being alive, I just always believed there aren't. ( Read more... ) |
