memories animal castles
Goldfish have no memory, I guess their lives are much like mine. And the little plastic castle is a surprise everytime.
silence suffering consequence
I'd rather suffer the consequences of truth than of silence.
stills
I still define myself by the places that I've been.
two splits radical
To split yourself in two is just the most radical thing you can do
change sky waiting
While out in TV Nation, under darkening skies, the resistance is just waiting to be organized.
romantic beautiful garden
But in the garden of simple, where all of us are nameless, you were never anything but beautiful to me.
jobs creativity exercise
I love to exercise my creativity in many ways but as each year of specialization goes by I feel further and further from my other creative selves. I used to be able to see myself doing many things and sometimes I still long for a job that involves less pressure and grappling with people but, as you say, I am one of the lucky ones so I try to just focus on feeling lucky and carry on!

love love-is sheets
Love isn't over when the sheets are stained.
art media voice
Don't tell me what they did to you as though you had no choice. Tell me, isn't that your picture? Isn't that your voice.
girl powerful warrior
I'm an all powerful amazon warrior, not just some sniveling girl.
