There's a big elephant in the room.
There always seems to be.

I never seem to be able to get it out.

Come back to me now or break me up already so I can find a faux-replacement for you.

I just can't stand this. Or this silence.
I love you.

Wishing we could just stay like that forever. (My mouth softly rubbing yours, talking life away. Your arms holding me tight, your hands resting on my thighs. My arms wrapped around you.)
You made it feel like home.
I'd never been that comfortable.
You made me fall in love. (Now deal with it, will you?)
I'm hanging by a thread. I'm afraid.
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play. (Now I long for yesterday.)
I believe you don't like me.
I'm just wasting my potential on you.
I need something concrete.
(How can you make me feel loved and then thoroughly doubtful of your feelings?)

Words aren't enough to dscribe neither my passion nor my fear. (God, let it end, please.)

Right now, nothing is suitable. I can't stand my family, my friends, my school, my clothes, my hair, my interests, my knowledge.

More than ever, I seriously and completely wish I could be shipped off to another place. Change, man, I need change. Without current mutation, I just get annoyed at living.

And it's especially worse when you wish you were a cold, manipulative bitch, who'd always know how to get on top. No, instead I prefer to trust people and be all warm-hearted. Fuck me. And fuck everyone who's so stupid as to be able to make their way into my mind these days.

The monotony took over her whole body, controlling her brain with the strength of a thousand faint screams of souls gasping for air. The regular, small changes of everyday were not enough to satisfy her hunger - she needed to increase her amount, to feel that frenetic roar of a new world becoming part of her. There was nothing new there, she was still breathing the same air and taking in the same scents and colours. What once might have been her joy for life seemed like dead leaves lying on the ground on a September afternoon. It was time to be reborn.

I'm afraid to fall for you, but I feel I already am.
I don't know if I should believe that you're so genuine as you seem, or if you're just faking it all away. (I get torn between the two.)
I hate it when you don't answer - it makes me feel like I'm nagging you.
The world seems to messed up - and that makes me depressed. I hate the fact that I'm standing by being completely idle and there's planes crashing and places being robbed every day.
I actually miss school.
I'm afraid my lungs will give out way too soon.
I'm physically weak - and, psychologically, even more so, I believe.
I have financial problems. And I truly agree now when someone says "Nothing destroys spirit like poverty." Not my spirit; my mom's (and possibly, my dad's). I'm beginning to hate her because of it.

Sometimes I'm afraid this week will never be over.

Sometimes I think you're just not good enough for me. Sometimes I think we're too different too work. Most times I think I don't wanna be with you even though I adore you.

Sometimes I want to fight with my best friend and totally not give a sh*t about it.

Sometimes I want to run away from home.

I'm afraid I'm so excited about college that it won't live up to my expectations.

I don't want to disappoint.

I'm too lazy but I want to be independent.

I'm not ashamed of anything I did. I just don't want certain people to find out because they're too ignorant to get it.

Sometimes I get tired of being too physical, too intense in a morbid way. Let's be subtle,erotic and subtle, not pornographic.

When I've just met people and they're so nice, I feel like I might just end up falling in love with them. (Then, I realise, they're not worth it.)

I'm too dreamy.

I wish I was prettier. And more confident.

I feel like I'm too calm right now. I want to drop bombs, again.

Gossip Girl. TV-Verse. Blair/Chuck. PG-13. for [info]waldorfish .

Is This What They Call Love on a Saturday Night?

There he was, smoking his Marlboro and sipping his cocktail, occasionally glancing with shameless gluttony at the curvy waitress, in a porpusefully slow pace. Then he spotted her. 

She was wearing a backless dress, which made her moves seem as delicate as the art of rolling up a joint. It was maybe just a tad too long – but then again it was just the perfect dress… when it came to undressing it. The summer sun had tanned her in a delicious shade of cinnamoon and her hair had become slightly lighter. She looked like na exotic beauty – she would definitely pass as an innocent Amazonia native. Were it not for that distinctive malice and playful, arrogant naughtyness, which attracted men just like magnets attract iron. 

And it sure did – she was not alone. As usual. He smirked. There were five of them today – the number seemed to keep increasing at an alarming rhythm. She managed to divide her attention equally to all of them, directing smiles that were not as shy as it might look. They moved around her like bees – bees around their Queen B. 

He imagined her, having threesomes, orgies… No, he didn’t imagine it. He knew for a fact that she had indeed been having all that… and probably more. Who would have thought – little obstinate, strict, pure virgin Blair Waldorf living the most unimaginable sex fantasies with the widest variety of guys? He sure had taught her more than well; he sure brought out the best of her. 

Yet a part of him was certain it couldn’t be that much fun. These guys didn’t know her, or how she worked; they could have no clue that she was incredibly sensitive to anything involving her belly button or that she would always reach a point of utmost ecstasy when he kissed her feet slowly. 

She got up and as she passed by him, closely followed by her five new puppies, he reached out so that he discretely touched her thighs. 

She looked back and gave him a smirk that totally said “See you in my suite tomorrow, Bass.”

Insisto em não esquecer o teu sorriso enorme, espelho da minha própria felicidade, e os teus olhos claros, esculpidos com o mesmo desejo que me movia até ti. Trocámos um 'Olá', tímido, envergonhado; a muitos pareceria arrependimento precoce. No entanto, em essência era apenas uma declarada cumplicidade de pecadores, um nervosismo miudinho de quem está consciente do futuro próximo e das consequências deste. (Sabíamos.)

Foram segundos de tempo congelado, curtos e mudos, que tão cedo deram lugar ao mais apaixonado cenário. Não ousámos demonstrar desde logo o quanto ansiávmos estar assim, íntimos - começaste por tocar-me, rápido e fugaz, como testando as águas, enviando um arrepio ternurento pelo meu corpo. Repeti o teu gesto. Permitimo-nos esses testes (tínhamos tempo), sentindo centímetro a centímetro, com medo, respirando pesadamente, sempre tentando assegurar-nos da realidade do momento.

E logo, no que pareceu um pestanejar de asas, os toques fugidios perderam a velocidade de auto-estrada, ganharam a ternura de um barco pequeno atravessando um rio, explorando tudo que se situava entre as margens. Ganhámos consistência, misturámos os nossos perfumes etéreos. Parecia mais certo do que errado.

Demorámo-nos, alongámos as linhas curvas da mais bela arte abstracta, e a cor não nos fugia aos olhos. Nada havia para além da tua pele, tão macia nas minhas mãos (embora mais tarde lhes descubrisse a aspereza). Provava-te, alimentava o torpe formigueiro que me atacava de dentro, comendo o meu coração com aquele fogo que incendiavas em mim. E aquela agitação sabia-me a moleza, confortável, quente, minha; deixe-me cair na intensidade do nosso pecado ternurento e bestial, puxei-te para mais perto de mim (temia que não estivesses mesmo ali, temia que não sentisses também.).

Ganhaste tom de animal, impulsivo, instinctivo, sensualmente doce como uma fera que persegue a presa. (Profundo. Belo.)

As tuas carícias percorriam-me por inteiro, afagavam-me esta alma que sempre achara indomável. Sempre sem escusadas demoras. (Tínhamos tempo.) E no nosso pequeno segredo, de imunda perfeição, com um sabor salgado tão doce como o mar, de dois mundos sem pontes, era o pecado que nos unia e desinibia. (O mais forte elo entre nós.) O proíbido tornava-se obtido. Apaixonávamo-nos ali, por entre cobertores de uma doçura sôfrega e gananciosa.

Tínhamos tempo, tinhamos uma vida, mas era como se o tempo descontasse os segundos para o nosso fim. Como se soubéssemos não haver outra oportunidade para libertarmos este nosso amor desenfreado, acorrentados a outras prisões.

Éramos inconscientes: não adivinhávamos o futuro? Inconsequentes, irresponsáveis, na altura o pensamento não morava ali (éramos movidos por outro combustível). É que hoje és um sonho, inalcançável esfinge e preciso-te mais do que nesse passado. E melancolicamente embebida em nostalgia, insisto em não esquecer(-te).

Maybe I should let the dust settle, let things calm down, cool off. Let the burns heal, let the wounds become scars that shall never disappear.
Wait. It has sunk in already. The ship's stopped. I'm as aimless as ever, the biggest wanderer the Earth has ever come to know. No destiny for me, no big heartbeats. My heart is comfortable, never leaving its place.
Too comfortable. It's getting too hot, too itchy.
Where's the buzz (the real buzz) in the ears? Or the cold shiver dancing in my neck, the bright colors hipnotizing my eyes, the taste of freedom forever melting in my tongue? When you're used to living fast like a highway, you stop liking second-way routes.
(Yet, I know I should stop. They deem me rebel, but a rebel I am not.)

And I miss us. Each step I take towards the end of the race brings me more of our adventures waltzing in front of my eyes. (Secretly, I still hope. And make up magical stories, because deep down I know that hoping is wrong and reality overwhelms me too much for me to live in it.) Am I moving forward or never leaving the same hurtful spot?

You are all I need
I'm in the middle of your picture
Lying in the leaves

"All I Need", Radiohead



If anyone should blame me for my actions, I shall tell them it was all because of you. Because I lost myself in a stupid affair that became the big love story of my troubled youth.
Yet you and I know that every single rebelious act is me trying to break away from what the world has made of us; I'm trying to come to terms with myself after what I've done. Every skipped class, every retorted answer, every puff of smoke, every outrageous deed, every kiss or hug, every glass I grasp, every breath I take, every smile I dare steal from my lips has a tiny shred of you in it... but it's all quite an act, really, quite a show, my body speaks without my mind hearing what I mean to say. It seems so right.
I'm not a rebel. I just realise that everything's so natural. I'm not a rebel, I just realised I can have fun and experiment and not waste my days thinking about what I did to you and the beautiful lie we once were.
Really, you're just such a big sucker. Because you do suck it in when you see me, I still affect you for the sake of those fifteen minutes, meaningful looks, knowing smiles and provocative messages. I saw the way you looked. Grow up and be a man, it's almost your turn to be a better judge.
And judges aren't missing here, because everyone likes to mess around with business that isn't their own. My darlings, talk trash on me, but you make me thrilled whenever I hear you speak my endeavours for the truth is at least I am not ignored in my desire to escape from you.

Here's the day you hoped would never come
Don't feed me violins
just run with me through rows of speeding cars.
The papercuts the cheating lovers
The coffee's never strong enough
i know you think it's more than just bad luck

There there baby
it's just text book stuff
it's in the ABC of growing up
Now now darling
don't loose your head
Cuz none of us were angels
and you know I love you yeah

Sleeping pills know sleeping dogs lie
never far enough away
Glistening in the cold sweat of guilt
I've watched you slowly winding down for years
You can't keep on like this...
now's a bad a time as any

There there baby
it's just text book stuff
it's in the ABC of growing up
Now now darling
don't kill yourself
cuz none of us were angels
and you know I love you yeah

it's ok by me..it was along time ago

I hate limited, close-minded people.
I just do. I'm not the most liberal person, but I can't cope with people who live in a bubble.

I have decided that I love quotes. Wait, I have not decided that. I've always known it, actually. They kind of help me get through the day and actually believe in other people - something which, in my opinion, has become really, abnormously hard to do. So I will, every now and then post quotes that somehow inspire me or make me laugh. And I encorage you to comment with your favourite quotes or thoughts on those quotes that I post.

BTW, if you haven't watched Becoming Jane and you're a depressive female heart with an obsessive love for dramas that do not have the happiest of endings, you go watch it. It's amazing. Not on my top 5, but worthy of your time. Especially since it includes Julie Walters and James McAvoy (and Joe Anderson), whom I have come to love.


"I think people have a tendency to believe that something is not beautiful if it's not pretty, and that it is purposely obscure if it takes an effort on your part to understand it, and I just completelt disagree with that." Brian Molko of Placebo

"Les temps sont durs pours les rêveurs." (Times are hard for dreamers.)
"Sans toi les émotions d'aujourd'hui ne seraient que la peau morte des émotions d'autrefois." (Without you, the feelings of today are not more but the dead hull of the feelings of the past. )
from Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain (= Amélie)

"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one." Albert Einstein

"Sometimes affection is a shy flower that takes time to blossom."
from Becoming Jane

"And no matter how good you try to be, you can't keep a bad girl down."
from Gossip Girl

I think I might get addicted to OneRepublic. I always thought I wouldn't, because they seemed too commercial, the kind of band that would become annoyingly famous with just one hit, but their songs are just too sweet to not like them.

I wanted to talk about my love story. Wait, it's not really a love story, and that's all I've been talking about for the past week and a half. It's even irritating having to tell the whole deal over and over again, because I always get the same answers and there seems to be no solution to my problem. The thing is, not many people have had it the way I did.

My anger has been pilling up. All I think of is of throwing my hands around someone's neck and ... argh! You know when you have those sudden mood swings? As in, one day you're so freaking worried about that guy who made your life miserable, and next thing you know, you just hate him, and feel like telling him that he's the kind of dirty that's unworthy of your shoes? I feel that.

And the other one's in town. And school and parents are killing me. Great.

no fame
all there is
all there was
on the second lady
can't take a cent
take a cut of that
kind of ran
I'll stand kind of bent
kind of pushed
on that heavy land
I'll stand for the sake of my friends
well, I will see him there
"Down Boy", Yeah Yeah Yeahs

It's getting harder and harder. I can't keep on hearing people say that time will cure this. It won't; not fully, not anywhere near fully. There will always be a spot, a wide, extra-large spot where I'll have hurt two people and taken away their happiness. And I can't help feeling bad about it.

Don't tell me I did what was right. Things are only right depending on the reasons you have for doing them. And I can tell you that the main reason that lead me to tell her was not nobility of character or remorse. I'm actually torn between thing that that's just a small detail compared to how much I wanted revenge for what he did to me, how challenged I felt and how sober I wasn't.

Don't tell me it's not my business anymore. I'm part of the mess as well. And don't even fall into thinking it was a feelingless thing; I have such deep feelings that I'm only truly finding them out now. And I feel so broken, so hurt. So betrayed. It broke my heart to know that all he said was invalidated by what he did, it breaks my heart to remember all the intimacy, it breaks my heart to see him and to hear that he's so lonely.

I want to talk to him, but I've lost my guts. I want to go up to him, and tell him I never wanted to hurt him, that the only reason I could regret what I did is his suffering, that I'll do whatever I can to see him smile again, that I've been more worried about him in the past days than I've ever worried about anyone.

My soul feels so broken, my spirits are so completely torn.

Yet, there's a tiny flicker of hope that this will be alright, that he'll take me back as a friend and that I'll find a way to pay for all the damage I've done.

(...) I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
(...)
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you

He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

"How to Save a Life", The Fray

I feel exactly as though if I had just aimed a gun at someone's head. I never thought that a few words could instantly change three, maybe four, lives all at once. The worst is, I feel like crap, like I've hurt him too much. I fear his reaction. I'm stuck between feeling admiration towards my rather outrageous (?) attitude and regret for what I've done. What makes me most annoyed is that I still worry about him. If anything bad happens to him, I don't know what I'll do. Even if he does not deserve me caring about him half this much.

I did shit. Pretty thick shit. And I most be the one to hold my head high and carry on. I will. But believe me when I say this will chase me throughout my entire life.
