y so serious
Heath Ledger's ghost is apparently opening a bar in Brooklyn (no jk his friend is, but it was supposed to be his bar). It's located in everyones favorite place:the corner of Lorimer Street and Bedford Avenue in Greenpoint.

The new venue has a nautical theme and it is going to be called Five Leaves (after "Swan cigarette papers that tell you when there are just five left in a package").

Who's gonna go!??! I demand you all do a fuckup there.

Are You Prepared?

I'll update this with more photos of my Girlfriend Book soon, but first, I have a question!

I recently got a bunch of differently patterned pieces of felt. I have some animal print, tie-dye, etc.

I have no idea what to do with them, though! I want to put them in both my journal, and Kat's book somehow, I just don't know how.

Ideas? Suggestions? Examples of awesomeness?

Fashionablefucks-
The newest issue of Nylon discusses rompers/onesies. In more than one article. IMO, they are pretty much the most ridiculous article of clothing ever, C/D?

ITT discuss the revival of ridiculous retro "fashions", or dumb trends in general.

What were your favorite books as a child?

I was really into Pippi Longstocking and books about animals like koalas and polar bears and shit.

Then, in my later years, it was all about Animorphs.

So, since there's already a nerd comic post right down there i'll ask:

Any fucks at comic con? If so, wanna go get trashed?

Do you belong to A Small World or know anyone who is? Here's some info if you have no idea what I'm talking about.

First post... be nice. :B
I mostly just write in my journal, with little doodles and stickers and stamps and paper scraps pasted in here and there. I did draw something in it the other day, though, and it's not as nice as most of yours, and it's certainly not high art... But it's definitely a journal entry in a drawing.


drawn in crayola crayons. )

Also... a question.
Like I said, I don't do much "art" in my journal, but this community seems pretty focused on that. Is that really the purpose, or is it also okay/of interest to post photos of journal entries that I like the aesthetics of that don't really have any kind of collage or art in them? :\ Or is that not really the purpose?
Is there a general paper journaling community (I couldn't find one...) where you can just discuss and stuff without having to post photos of your work? I'm just wondering!~

Honestly I was going to refrain from posting about this at all.
I haven't spoken to Meredith in 7+ months. Nor do I even live in the same city as her.
In fact I've been pretty isolated from most everyone in general since I've lived at my dads.
With that said it has somehow come full circle where I have to come to find out :
1. She's told people I literally picked her up off the ground and slammed her into a wall.
2. The most recent, almost laughable, that the tattoo on my arm is an idea I stole from her.

I just don't understand how she just continues on and on with this, I've been done with her and that entire situation. This is all old news, she is a washed up little attention starved girl. Even though she told me to my face that she hoped to forget I ever existed, she just can't seem to keep my name out of her mouth. Somehow it fucks with her head, that I was serious when I said "I'm done with you." I have no sympathy for her at all either. She brought this on herself. She is the most manipulative person I've ever met and she's still under the impression she has that effect on me, which is once again laughable. She uses people simply when she needs them. The ironic part is she thought she had this long lasting effect on me that I would still be stumbling over, yet it seems it's her who is stumbling. However, for once in my life, nothing can falter the strides I'm taking towards my goals, my life, my happiness, and I fucking love it.

holiday journal?
Has anyone ever kept a holiday journal here? I ask because: Usually I would take my regular journal on holiday with me, but I'm going with my boyfriend this summer & thought it may be nice to share one between the both of us. We like writing letters & crap so I think it'd be a fun thing to do, especially as it's our first holiday together. I am unsure though, as I already have 435734346 books and don't really want to add another one into the mix, as usually I have everything in the same place. So I need some pictures/posts/comments to help me decide! Anything is appreciated. Thanks. :)

And just so this isn't text-only....

haven't posted here in some time so thought I'd show a piece from a couple months back -- a collage of old photos on top of a letter to 'someone' with rose petals scattered about -- not presently pasted in a journal but was easier to photo this way



ps: the stamp's an 'oldy but goodie' too -- temporarily snitched from a stamp collection :)

nerds
Since ComicCon starts today I thought I'd make a post for the nerdfucks!

I haven't seen anyone post about the Watchmen trailer that just came out. Whatcha think? I hate that song (which was used for some Batman movie as I recall). Also, check out the winners of the user-generated ad contest on YouTube. Kind of cool to have something you made appear in the movie. So do you think the movie will be good or is it just impossible to match the awesomeness of the print version?

Pictures
Does anyone have a website where I could get decent quality screen caps of the golden girls? As a tribute to Estelle Getty I'd like to make some, but I am afraid when I googled I only got relatively low quality ones.

Thanks! :)

putting down pages
so for my boyfriend book i bought a spiral bound memory book from michaels. but what i've been doing is gluing down scrapbooking paper on each page so it can be different and colorful and have a different feel going on.
so far i've been using mod podge, and while i love it, i paint it on with a small brush and it normally is almost dry by the time i put down the paper. it's messy at times and sometimes crinkles the page or makes the corners curve up a bit. so i was wondering what other people use?
i think i'm most curious about spray adhesive. does it provide for a good bind, the page won't come up, etc.
i've used rubber cement in the past for certain things, but never for permanently putting down a page. will it be strong enough for that?

Thanks so much everyone for your kind words and for hugging your pets.

We took my 18-year old Miss. Kitty to the vet this morning because she was having problems breathing all night and still this morning. The sedative the vet gave her was almost enough to help her along, her heart was so weak by this point. I felt so bad for my mom, she was crying so hard.
It's hard.... coming home like now and her not being here. And then trying to remember, she's not going to be here anymore.

It really is a reality check. A kick in the butt that life is not forever and everyone has different life spans so love your babies anyway you can right now.
This is why I continue to spoil my puppies by sneaking them scraps and letting them up on the couch.

=) Be happy guys, keep care of yourselves and everyone else in your life and thank-you again.

An Ode to Failure
I can't
write

Words no longer leak from my fingertips

I can't
write

Intricate soliloquies refuse to unmask themselves

I can't
write

My ink well is as dry and brittle as my wrist bones

I can't
breathe

The oxygen around me is salty and heavy like the ocean

I can't
breathe

My lungs are caskets in my chest

I can't
breathe

The air smells of disappointment and death

I can't
move

Steel cuffs cut into my hands

I can't
move

My feet are submerged in concrete

I can't
move

Ghost ropes bind me still

I can't
speak

Prayers sit on my uvula until I choke

I can't
speak

Silence thunders through me, leaving me boneless

I can't
speak

Eulogies claw at my throat from the inside out

I am
intangibly fragile

Resilience was never my niche

I am
undeniably torn

Can'twrite Can'tbreathe Can'tmove Can'tspeak Can'tdothis

Pen does not connect
with paper

Head does not connect
with heart

Lucidity will not fuse
with reality

Fear (fire) melts
passion (ice)

Failure (emptiness) drowns
success (self)

on one side of the bench, we sat.

i have not felt as alive as i did opposite you today in the park for a long time, ice cream in our hands and conversation leaping from mouth to ear. if this buzz, this dizzyness, this fire under my skin and sparks from a girl is what being alive, breathinglovinglaughinglife, is then how dare i have ever felt like not wanting another day on this earth before? the grass could crawl up my legs and ladybirds perch on my toes, the sun could turn me pink and sweat collect in a pool on my back but i wouldn't leave. the time would always run too fast. every cell every heartbeat every thought that i produce is what i have become over the years and i bloom, i cry, i move on, i hold hands and plan the future. things are okay. i have struggled with an eating disorder, my love committed suicide on me, my mother was paralysed from a stroke. these amongst other things have been ruining me slowly and enticing me to sleep at night. who would think i could feel this ripe and flowery from a summer smiling outpour of thoughts on both our parts.

i told you of my wish to love everyone the way i love you (in that hand holding same wavelength youmakemewanttolive way that we have) and you called me a hippy. how i want to leave everything behind and travel from place to place with no money or companions except the amazing strangers i meet along the way, how i feel unlike all the people in my life, bar a few, because i expect too much and that i want a disgustingly obnoxious man who is unexpected, my soulmate and in love with me to enter my life. i need variety here, routines suck the passion out of me and i resist settling in. i told you i no longer believed in the god that so much of the world imagines, but a god of no form but smokey incense, of tears, rockets and the touch of a finger, of anything.

we spoke of secret weddings and i want it to happen for you extremely so because it is what i want and am yet to reach with a boy. a little chapel in the countryside with flowers and jeans, no vows, just love spewing from our eyes and ears and mouth and hands held we'd be wed, him and i.

we will be handwriting a book together, posting it back and forth to document our days and nights, our smiles and tears, our hopes and inspirations. i expect it to be colourful pulsating and like us and i just want to thank you for resuscitating me again.

* * *
you told me to fuck off, so i did.
and now it's all three best friends that i have lost. but i will wake up in the morning tomorrow with one missed call from best friend one, and best friend two will call on Friday and apologize and wish me a happy 18th birthday.

but i will not hear from you. and it's the permanence of that and you that makes my world stable. as long as you're gone, i have one thing to write about, one thing to think about, rather than a million unsolvable things that take up grey matter but don't matter.

and it's like tree roots. it's like being so entwined with dirt for so long that when some innocent child digs you up, you have dirt stuck on you and you scrub and scrub for years and it's still there, in the cracked lines of your palms and the crevice between your nose and cheek. it's like when you stick a knife in peanut butter and you can't for the life of you get the sticky mess off unless you lick the sides carefully, and even then there are streaks of brown, like the shit stains on your favorite pair of underwear, and you cut your loses on the sharp edges of words you never said.

it's that feeling after vodka and coffee, when you're sitting in a chair, legs crossed, quiet, wondering what the moment is called, what the space behind your ear is called, what the people you've left behind are called.
