[ mood | stressed ]

To all:

My internet access will be quite limited over the next little while. I'm dismantling a lot of things tonight -- that includes the puter -- and putting it into storage. I'm staying with a friend for a couple of weeks while I check out apartments.

Keep posting... I'll write by hand and trasncribe if necessary. :)

Lots of love,

Rowena

I'm getting one of those feelings that something's off-balance or wrong. It's not something I can really explain with total accuracy, but it's something I get when I've done something and other people are upset with me. I've always regarded it as childish and obsessing, really. It's something that I've lived with for a while.

The symptoms are: tight muscles, spacy mind/random and obsessive thoughts, a feeling of being inferior somehow, of being helpless to prevent whatever is happening... and ... an apprehensiveness, or an anticipation of something that I can never see.

I dunno. I guess I'm just being mentally OCD or something.

[ mood | disappointed ]

Okay, that's it.

No more complications... no more worrying about paying a grand a month in rent. I've decided to go home. I'm finished. Through.

I know that there are people here in Mass. who will be disappointed... and I will be as well... but I can't help it. I just have to go.

I'll write more later. For now I just need to cry.

[ mood | discontent ]

Hi, I'm back again. Miss me? :)

I think this is the most I've written in my journal in one day since I've signed up... and, ironically enough, today is one of those days when I feel the least like writing. I think it's more my insistence that something, anything come out -- and my desperate hope that I will be able to quiet that insistent niggling wrongness that has plagued me all day. I can't describe it any better than that. I've been drained, like something just took all my energy and, as I mentioned earlier, my sense and Sight are off-kilter.

You're probably tired of my bitching by now. *rueful grin* Sorry.

Every time I've sat down to write today it's been in the hopes that I'll produce something useful, something that will lead me to a resolution of whatever this is. Yet my mind insists on remaining closed to the source of my composition. I can almost feel the wall between me and the words dancing through my head. I can certainly feel them; they're having a merry time of it, trying to find some semblance of order in which to come flying through my fingers onto the page. Nevertheless, the wall seems pretty strong. Maybe it is the rain; barometric pressure does funny things to people sometimes.

I can't seem to sleep, either. I sort of feel tired, but it's not a "sleepy" tired. It's more of a mental fatigue, probably earned from my stubborn insistence that I'm going to produce something eventually, and yet I am still restless. How much can you chip away at a wall before it falls down?

For those of you who read Old English... if you'd like to offer a translation on some of those words that might confuse us modern speakers, please feel free to do so. :D

[ mood | pissed off ]

You know, I really can't stand for people to just push me away -- especially when I have no way of knowing why they're upset, save for the fact that it's not at me. If it's not at me, why can't they let me finish a sentence? Why do they have to be so selfish as to just interrupt me and walk away? I don't do that. I respect the other individual's right to speak.

It's fine if someone wants to be by themselves for a bit. I don't mind -- I got over stuff like that by the time I was nineteen. I'm just angry because of the way it was done.

Random bit inspired by tsukitamahen's journal. [05 Dec 2004|12:15am]
I thought this was cool last time I saw it but I never did it, so I'll do it now. *shrugs* :D
______________________________________________________________________________________________

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal...along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the "coolest" book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________


"As the two Miss Lammeters walked into the large parlor together, any one who did not know the character of both might certainly have supposed that the reason why the square-shouldered, clumsy, high-featured Priscilla wore a dress the facsimile of her pretty sister's was either the mistaken vanity of the one or the malicious contrivance of the other in order to set off her own rare beauty."


Eliot, George. Silas Marner(The Weaver of Ravenloe). 1927: Ginn and Company (123).
________________________________________________________________________________________________


I did the fifth complete sentence. Oh -- and if my citation format is wrong, please feel free to say so. I'm curious as to whether I need to brush up on that or no.

Random quiz, ganked from a friend. [29 Nov 2004|12:56am]
[ mood | meh. ]

selkie
The Scottish selkie was a being who appeared to be
a seal, but had the ability to shed their skin
and roam the land in human form. If a human
were to happen upon the discarded seal skin, he
or she could hide it and force the selkie to
marry him or her. However, if the selkie were
to ever find the skin, he or she would
immediately reassume seal form and return to
the sea from whence they came, leaving their
spouse and offspring on land to forever mourn
their loss.

As a selkie, you are a very withdrawn, secretive
and somewhat sad person, and those around you
find you alluring and mystifying. People who
come into your life find it difficult to find
the inner you. You are also curious, but you
enjoy the comforts of home most of all.


Who is your inner Shapeshifter?

random quiz [19 Nov 2004|06:01am]
Shadow
Your element is Shadow: Indifferent, unusual,
gentle and a complete mystery. No one tends to
know quite what to think of you because you
camouflage your emotions so incredibly well,
almost as well as your thoughts. You are
unpredictable in that no one knows exactly what
your going to do or what your capable of and
you've made sure they never will. You are quite
the wallflower but deep down inside is a kind
and very intelligent person. You are capable of
love but unless you let some light into your
shadowed life you'll have a hard time with your
relationships. People are a mystery only
because they all seem too superficial, you
would rather be somewhere else, away from all
the noise perhaps putting your feelings into a
form of art, maybe writing your feelings into a
poem or journal, or perhaps painting a picture.
The shadows make you feel comfortable and you
don't like to step outside your comfort zone or
let anyone else in, the spotlight terrifies
you. You are truly a mystery.

My mind wearies of the rain.
Tear drops, pacing thoughts
deepening to madness,
echoing their sadness
to my heart.
I seek reflection through their storm.

Within their shape, they listen;
they watch in tears that glisten;
diamonds, dew.
Quietly I seek their inner wisdom;
for, once beyond the numbness,
there is calm.

My thoughts turn inward,
spiraling and vying;
they race to win my hand
through fluent commune.

I put pen to paper.

My mind seeks to pace the rain.
A burst, a lonely shower
brings it life, a steady train
of tears brings it to growth.
I offer both.

Joyously, I am accepted.
