What can I tell you?

[wolven7]

Poe - [Amazed]--- Tell me a secret. Some kept safe. Something of yours. (Björk - [Isobel]). You can hide it, and I won't tell anyone, or you can remove its power over you, and tell the world...

Or you can tell me nothing at all, and continue on your way.

"To pass this way, there is no toll,
But there is recommended a bartering.
Take with you what you need
Keep in your heart what you believe
Keep in your mind affixed a goal
And you won't be found faltering."

My heart belongs to two people. They both know and accept this. There's an ocean between me and one of them, and that makes us all sad.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

That is terribly unfortunate. I wish all three of you the best of luck.

I'm terrified of being lonely, but I enjoy being alone.

I want everyone to like me, even if I don't like everyone.

Sometimes I think I try too hard to be something I'm not.

I didn't go back to school last year because I was hospitalized for attempted suicide. THe school and everyone else doesn't know that...they think I had mono (which I did, but that wasn't why I didn't go back to school), and I'm afraid if they did know they wouldn't accept me (academically and otherwise).

I still have flashes of that second problem, myself. I often want the entire world to hold me in awe, wonder, fear, and respect. I'll settle for any one of the three, though, if it's in sufficient amount.

Megalomaniacal tendencies.

[unknownbinaries.livejournal.com]

So do I, for different reasons.

Or maybe for the same, I just don't like admitting it.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

I think that there may be other reasons it's there but it mostly gets read as megalomania... Could be that all of the reasons just merge to that picture, to other perspectives, or it could just be that other people can't pick apart the full reasons.

Don't have many secrets really.

Um... I used to torture my dolls when I was a kid. And I am sometimes afraid that makes me some psychopathic killer.

You read my most recent journal? I'd like your advice. I also would like to chat with you via AIM if it's possible.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

I don't think that makes you a psychopath. A Bond villain, perhaps, but not a psychopath.

I met a faerie in a sliver-thin dark alley in Cincinnati. I regret not leaving with her, sometimes.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

What was she wearing? There are, I'm sure, faerie trackers in Bloomington.

[moonandserpent.livejournal.com]

The was a thin young, goth thing. There one moment and gone the next. And due to certain long and involved stories (themselves about long and involved stories), I doubt anyone could find a faerie in this town. C'est le vie.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

That's a sad state of affairs, in and of itself.

[moonandserpent.livejournal.com]

Someone told a vast and spiraling story of the fae, with the participation of hundreds of locals over 6 years that left most participants drained of any belief in magic of faerie.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

I've seen that happen, before. A thing designed to make it all look like a story and nothing more than a story. In that frame work, you can put everything you've experienced down to imaginings about the story.

Could be reversed, though. Enact parts of the story in their lives, again, and there will begin to be cracks.

[moonandserpent.livejournal.com]

Actually it was designed to make it all more than a story. To bring those things out into the lives of the participants. And perhaps for a time it worked... until it did quite the opposite. Having less life to it than a story even.

In an attempt to evoke the numinous, it gave a name and number to it, making it less than the sum of its parts.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

That is... So strange.

Like quantum measurement, it is often best to merely hint at the edges.

[unknownbinaries.livejournal.com]

Or like faerie, you can only see it looking sideways.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Hm. Yeah, I think that fits.

[moonandserpent.livejournal.com]

Bingo. Give it a Name, pinn it to a board, make it a slave to Human Drama and the Wonder will seep out of anything.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but make the human drama slave to it? Better than the movies.

[moonandserpent.livejournal.com]

True, true.

[sadistic-apollo.livejournal.com]

i'm not sure if i'm lead or supporting cast.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Pink Floyd asks a pertinent question, here.

And whose movie are you in?

[salrushdy.livejournal.com]

i use to be naked at home
and I never wear underwear in my life:)

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Going commando is not entirely unheard of. Some people just find it more comfortable.

What else?

[raidingparty.livejournal.com]

I'm about two steps away from demanding to know the singlehood of every female friend of every friend I have.

(looks at previous comment again) Make that one step.

Still afraid of the dark.

Actually enacting a plan to take over the world.

Re: What else?

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Yeah that's only one step, now.

How's the plan coming along?

'course, it'd be embarassing if she comes back and reads this

[raidingparty.livejournal.com]

... which she might, considering you commented. I guess it's a question of whether your reply is reply-worthy.

Ze plan... wee shell sea.

In each action, the seeds of the next action.
