Every Next DayWe live for the future, no time for the now  And spend all our time chasing every next day  You've got to keep running to catch up with the moment  While all of the world's slowly fading away   
Asking for answers, we'll never say how  We came to realise that we'd found the right way  But it's got to be ours because that's how we do it  And it's always been ours, so why not today?   
 
 
Did you keep taking care  Of your time, is it so rare?  And the clothes that you wore,  Do they still fit you any more?  Our span in the spotlight is fading away  And we'll n Every Next Day

Midnight SunLife undefined, a parting mind,  Leaves unknown dreams and wasted time  And all of me you claim to be  Emotionless and fading free   
 
Don't confuse what's hidden with what never could have been  When lost and empty voices turn to more than what they mean   
 
A life in hiding, never mind, I've seen my own disguise  The answer that I lost before was there behind my eyes  I'll find the lies that made me and I'll make myself remade  I can feel the future coming, won't mistake it for the rain   
 
I've broken through to nothing new  And no-one else will know bu Midnight Sun

DriftersMillenial incredible  It's everything I'll never be  My lazy days will drift away  Take pleasure in my apathy   
 
Look into another world of wasted lazy dreams  With hopeless ways of passing days and let-it-be routines  Glorify your boredom now and say it's only you  And take a moment to be proud of all that you don't do   
 
Millenial incredible  Recovering prestige I need  My lazy days will drift away  My life and my philosophy Drifters

DreamersYou left your purpose in the past  In worlds that lie long dead  Now all that's left is emptiness  And running through your head   
You promised on the high life  So you've got to see it through  Waiting for adventure  Far beyond the life you knew   
 
 
I see why your eyes are grieving  You know you've been caught believing  Resolution's not forthcoming  Know inaction's unbecoming   
Should have taken all your chances  Should have stolen your romances  Could have won your dreams with action  Would have lost it, no attraction

Legend of Klin: Rent Returns
by ~MaLink1
Attacked by NinjasYou probably wouldn’t be able to guess, but I was attacked by ninjas this morning. Yea, I know, hard to believe. It was for me too. It’s been a pretty strange week altogether, though. So, in a way, I probably could have seen something like this coming.   
I mean, take Monday. Monday, I lost my pinky toe when my foot was run over by a rickshaw. I mean, that’s a freak accident, but those things do happen. But then, on Tuesday, I was visiting an old friend at the zoo, right? Her name is Cindy, lovely brunette I dated back in the day. Anyway, Cindy was gored to death by a rogue ostrich. Yea, I know, I didn’t really think ostriches could Attacked by Ninjas

Knights of Achua-Fenv 1st chapChapter 1: Obey the Master or Else  
 
A fortress of steel-reinforced charcoal sandstone loomed just beyond the timberline, emitting a noxious fog from its smokestacks. The hawk-eyed archers surrounding the perimeter of the half-constructed stronghold instantly slaughtered any bystander daft enough to glance in its general direction. Extra care was taken by the contractors not to make a sound above what was absolutely necessary. Their hot-tempered employer recently rallied his elite. Yesterday he had developed a strategy that he hoped would be idiot proof. A messenger stood by the doorway to the Conference Hall, patiently waiting fo Knights of Achua-Fenv 1st chap

Ah, that was cathartic

Fri May 15, 2009, 1:55 PM
So I've now written three very introspective sets of lyrics. I think that'll do for now. It's funny how writing can cheer you up right proper sometimes. I was feeling vaguely down last night, for no particular reason, so I decided to produce some really miserable poetry. Except writing it turned into so much fun that I ended up enjoying myself far too much and having to resist the temptation to rhyme "midnight sun" with "cream bun".

I dunno if the same applies to creative stuff more generally- I can't draw to save my life, as my icon attests- but I heartily recommend the process to anyone who's feeling depressed at any point. It seems to be very therapeutic. And I've completely killed my desire to write any more poetry about my own thought processes, which is a result for everybody on the planet, I think.

Actually, that icon really is hideous. Anybody kind-hearted out there feel like making me a new one? I don't have any particular requirements, just anything but that mess of a scribble. I'll... I'll write you a poem? Or something? I don't really know. I could promise not to make any self-indulgent journals for a month.

Oh, yeah, also: turns out I'm not the only person to use the word "millennial" to describe our generation. There are books about it. Result.

(WHY CAN I NOT SPELL MILLENNIAL?)

Well hello, stranger. Remember me? :) It's been a long time...I'm gonna have to read through all of your stuff and catch up on all I've missed these past few...wow, years.

Hey there. It has that. How's it going? :) Don't worry, you haven't missed very much, I haven't been very prolific recently.
~skyfaerie:iconskyfaerie: Apr 19, 2009, 8:35:25 PM
Life's pretty good, I must say. I've been busy with college, work & social duties as usual. But I've rediscovered this lovely site thanks to a new friend, and I've decided to jump back into some of my long lost hobbies again :) How are you?

Not so bad, yeah. Still writing, more or less, although it's a different kind from what it used to be, a bit more serious and rather more pretentious as well. Chalk that one up to too much education. I'm working as a language-teaching assistant next year, though, so I'll get to offload it on other people instead. :P

I've read some of your new stuff...excellent, as usual. But you're right...different from 'back in the day' :) As for too much education, what was/is your major? I, too, am submitting myself to the joys of continued education, as a 'Conservation & Wildlife Management' major--different, I know--with hopes to minor in English. My creative butt was kicked into shape thanks to the english elective I took this semester; it was quite heavy on the writing, especially poetry & short stories (not sure if I really expected otherwise haha, considering it was called 'Creative Writing' ) so I'll be posting a lot of that once Im done tweaking it. Im currently writing my final short story for the course, in which I must 'become' Jack London and write in his style. That knocking sound you are hearing? Yea...that's my head pounding into my brick dorm wall.
