I am Christian York, I'm generally not what is considered "normal" and I don't care. I am currently attending NHTI. I'm usually a rather closed person. I have a great memory when it comes to completely irrelevant and trivial knowledge. I procrastinate like there's no tomorrow...wait that doesn't make sense... If there is anything else you want to know about me, feel free to ask.
and if you want to, add me on AIM or YIM; my SN is wiwcepfan

i am the one in the shadows waiting for my chance
i am, the one in the crowd the one nobody noticed
i am the one with your name scratched into my arm
i am the one in love with you you are my lucky charm
i am t he one who helped you up when they watched you fall
i am the one you love when i'm waiting for your call
i am the one who swore that i would not be hurt
i am the one who lay you down in your bed of dirt
i am everyone and no one yet we are one the same
i am every boy and every girl and freak that has no name
i am the chill you feel at night right after you've been bad
i am the spark inside of you that makes you feel so mad
i am neither here nor there i have no fuckin name
i am the the one thats hurt when you place the blame
i am the one who looks at you with complete disgust
you are the one thing that i do not like or love or trust
i cant be blamed for what you did your body is the sinner
dont hate on me i did no wrong im just the reflection in the mirror
--Death Touch Tiny
to those who have tried
but only did fail
shaken and bruised
by tides and travail
drop not down your anchor
nor settle with rancor,
nor idle or rest unassured.
but instead be unmoored
on the ship stay aboard,
afloat in the water and poised for the breeze
follow the wind when it blows to the seas
direction may change, change yours with ease
for
may the next be your clearest current and guide,
and though in the ocean no path leaves a trail
a boat must be untied
before it can sail
If after your dead, they say your "deceased, so if your alive are you "Ceased?" and doesnt "Ceased" mean stopped? So shouldnt we be called "Ceased" if we're dead? and the act of dieing called "Ceasing"?
