About Me

I'm not really sure how to describe myself, honestly...nosy, mostly.
I WILL NOT ADD PRIVATE PROFILES WITHOUT A MESSAGE FROM YOU EXPLAINING WHO YOU ARE AND WHY I SHOULD ADD YOU!
To all the very nice people who ask about my corset as featured in my profile pic, I got it at Rave's Oh My Goth in Denver, Colorado. They're just down the page in my Top Friends section. :)

My Interests

Not asleep

Is it possible to have a crisis while asleep? I'm not sure. I did wake up in total panic, though, and I wish desperately I could get back to sleep. I have to work a double, and I'm hoping I won't be i...

Sing we now the praises of mania, for she doth remove from us all need for sleep.She maketh us to organise papers at 3 am, she causeth us to accomplish much.Yet be warned, for her gifts come not light...

Manic again

...yeah...

I don't like feeling helpless. I don't like grieving. Life does not care what I like and what I don't like. It just is.Time to have my meltdown so that I can be strong for the times ahead.

How I decide...

Ramble

I haven't updated in a while, so I thought I ought to post something...then it occurred to me to try to figure out why I go through these post-droughts. I think what it is is that at times I get so si...
