Once apon a time there was a Pretty Pretty Princess. Her she was tall and blond and very pretty. Her eyes shone like the stars in the night sky and her skin was as soft as a baby's bum. While she was not a Brazen girl she was known to go Gallivanting in the country side with the boys of the kingdom.  But enough about her Prosopography and on with the story. One day, when the sun was hidden by dark rain clouds, her father told her:
"Do not go out today because it is going to storm and the Witch said that you will get into trouble."
The Pretty Pretty Princess hated the Witch because she never said anything good about her. Feeling thus she set out with one boy by the name of Charming. Both riding horses and wearing long cloaks that flowed in the wind behind them they set off on an adventure.
Not long after they crossed the big river and entered the Boondocks the rain came. It came on fast and unexpected, although I'm not sure why it was unexpected... Pouring so hard that the two could not see their hand infront of their faces they moved on slowly unsure of where they were headed. Luckly they wondered into a cave. A caliginous cave. A terrible cave. A cave with a giant Dragon at the back of it.
The noise of the horses hooves woke the sleeping beast and it now stared at the two humans with sleepy eyes. Standing very still P.P.P. amd Charming could think of nothing to do but continue standing there. The Dragan, once he focused and realized that they were indeed their said,
"I am really hungry, BUT if you will go and find me the Apple of Googensmer then I will not eat you. The Apple was mine but he replevied it from me. Find my Apple. Don't try to trick me. I will find out about it"
The children said that they would and started back out in the pouring rain to find the Wizard Googensmer to steal his Apple. The rain was wet. Very wet and neither the Princess nor Charming were very happy about this. Now, not only were they wet and bored, they now had to ferret this stupid Apple from a Wizard that might not even exist. Pretty Pretty Princess's fathers words that morning came back to her:
"Do not go out today because it is going to storm and the Witch said that you will get into trouble."
She got angry, that stupid Witch was right!
"Charming, we are going to find that Apple today!" She tells him what the Witch had said. "But! Everyone knows that when you help a Dragan you get something for it. Something MAJIK!"
"Let's go! I want to get something Majik!" shouted Charming over the noise of the thunder. So, cheered up by the thought of a reward they continued in better spirits.
After a few hours the two walked out of the rain and into the sunshine. Not exactly sure where they were Charming complained:
"Why don't they have a "Welcome to _____" sign." When all of the sudden a sing that  said
Welcome to Googensmer's Secret Lair!
"Well gee, that was easy..." said Charming, scratching his head.
"Quick look for the Apple!" Another sign popped up next to the first.
Googensmer's Apple That Way! --->
"Let's get it!" the Princess shouted and darted off in that direction.
"Wait! I don't like this. I'm horripilating!" cried Charming. "This is going to be a trap!"
"No it won't silly don't worry abou it," she said laughing as she spotted the Apple on a table. "We will just take it and run."
So they did.
And they ran back into the rain and stopped dead in their tracks. How were they suppose to find that cave again? They didn't know where it was. They didn't know where they were!
Suddenly the Apple started to tug. It pulled the Princess  through the rain at a fast rate, she had to run to keep from losing it. Charmimg ran along side of her and the Apple. Soon they were back out of the rain and inside the Dragan's cave.
"Well, well, well. I see that you have found my Apple. Darn it. Do you know how many people I have trapped by making them find things? You are only the Seventh people to find what I sent them to find. How did you get it away forom Googensmer anyway? Well I suppose I have to give you someting Majik now don't I?" The two nodded.
"Well all I have is this love philter..." he hands the bottle to them. They took the it and drank it and fell in love. Once they went back to the castle and told everyone what had happened they got married and lived happily ever after.
The End

Nightmares

The lies. Despies. Myself. hate. hate all. The big and the small. Hate the Significant and the deficent . Despise Him. I hate her. I destroy you.
 So I evade.
I evade life, running down the road. Gaining my feet still and still. Not ceasing. Running. I run, ran, I'm gone. Through Forest. Down mountains. Everyone has dissappeared. Green turns to gray. Gray turns to black. Black to white.
Then I leaped.
Sight blinded. Wings spread.  Wind ripping in my head. I leaped, jumped, flew. Cliffs engulfing my mind. Seas pulling at me. Am I ready for this? This is the end. Am I ready?
I'm awake. Sitting up. My room dark as night. My shelter tangled. Will I be ok? Eventually?

Insanely tired


Up one stair to the next
Up to the top
To the light
Away from the monsters in the dark

Once Upon A Time

There were two friends.
Both of them enjoyed writing.
They would swap poems, and other small articles of writing for the other to read.
Then one of them got an Idea!

I have an Idea!
Let's start a Blog together and we will write lot's of things together!
YAY!

To which her friend replied:

What a great Idea!
Let's start now!

And that is what they did.
They called it
Alike Minds
Because Great Minds Think Alike
Things were going wonderfully and I would love to leave the story here only there is a small problem with ending it here.
That would inply that they BOTH continued to write back things and loved it The End.
BUT that is NOT what happend.
You see one of the Friends got busy

Hey, there have you posted today?
No, I got sick...
Oh, that's ok! What about now?
No, I'm a lazy bumm...

Yes, a Lazy Bum. That is what he turned into..
The End!

Just Fine

* Rewrite someone else's writing. Experiment with theft and plagiarism.
Plaging Brocks "Smiles Hurt"

I'm Just Fine. I smile, but smiles hurt to hold. It's like nothing is ever enough. I'm tired of these lies, of the trying and the failing, of this mask, ever on my face hiding the true me. I feel the tears but they never come, they stay inside, deep deep within. I need someone, I have no one to run to. I know I will be Just Fine, evenutally. But I don't want to be Just Fine. I can't take this. I am empty there is nothing left for me here. I cannot stay. I hide, the mask of smiles covering my face, forcing the muscles to hold in place. It hurts. I am frozen this way. I lie. I spew lies, this way and that way, everywhere. I'm Just Fine. I am giving up. I am stopping. What is the point? There is none. But I will keep going. I will push through the pain. I will hold these smiles because everything is Just Fine

The Dream

I hated it. I hated the world. I hated myself. I hated. I hated. I hated.I hated the big and the small. I hated the significant and the not so much. I hated him,  I hated her, I hated you.
So I ran.
Down the road. Faster every second. And then faster still. I never stopped. I ran. I ran. I ran. Through the trees, down the hill. No one around. Grass turned into rocks. Rocks into stones. Stones into air.
Then I flew.
Eyes closed, Arms wide. Wind screaming. I flew. I flew. I flew. Cliff climbing over my head. Ocean reaching up to grab me. I am ready for this. This is the end and I am ready....

I jerk to a sitting position. My room dark. My sheets tangled. I will be ok. Eventually.

Smiles Hurt

Smiles hurt to keep them up. When will everything be enough? I'm tired of trying and of lying. Of keeping this mask on my face. I need the tears but they won't come. I need someone but where to run. I'm sick of this life just get i over with. I''m barely hanging on. I'm ready to let go. I'l survive somehow. I don't know how. I don't care. Why survive? Am I afraid? Nervous? there's nothing here for me. All the disrespect. Neglect. It's driving me insane. Off the main frame. I can't do this. No how. no way. I try this each and everyday. I'm tired of smiles. My face is hurting. Why am I afraid of the real me? To let him free. Let loose the monster living in me. It hurts. All the pain for every day. Lies! they're all lies every which and every word. I need out. Don't know how I'm about to leave. Save me please. I'm on my knees. I'm about to give out. These smiles they hurt to keep up all day. But I'll do it forever. What choice is there?
