Lacking & loving

Rhodes was amazing. Peaceful time spent with my love, eating, sleeping, healing and recovering from one hectic school year.

I have realised that I haven't written a decent poem/short story in a very long time. In fact, not since I have been in a relationship. Looking back at my past works they are all pretty depressive, there seems to be a strong correlation with unhappiness and my need to write.
That being said, I wouldn't say I was unhappy being single...lonely maybe? I just lacked this incredible contentedness and sense of well being that the last 18 months have given me.

Still, no poems...and for some reason I don't like the idea of writing love poems. It seems so cliched, and I can never convey exactly what I want to say, there are never words significant enough.

I recently read an interview with Simon Pegg in the Guardian, one of the questions was:

What does love feel like?

'Like being a bit sick, in a nice way.'

It's the most accurate description I have read so far.

TOHO TOHO DOME

I would seriously give anything to be at Tokyo Dome right now.

Gah!!

*weeps*
You are so beautiful
And you're all mine.
By Monday, anyway...

:(

I feel, how Tare Panda looks...
Glum and squishy.

I had a bad exam.
I watched a bad, bad chinese film.
It's called 'Magic Boy'.
Seriously, NOTHING happens in this film. Don't watch it.

And now I have a Japanese exam...
I wish I was a panda.

Happy place

This post is based on one Han did a while back, a representation of things which make me happy; in picture form:

Strange Meeting

A gust of wind blew the tent flap open, blew rain inside.
'It's going to be bloody wet and bloody cold,' Hilliard said looking down at his groundsheet. They ought to finish their sleep, though he had no idea of the time.
Barton let his arm drop, and moved a pace away. He said, 'I love you, John.'
Hilliard looked at him. 'Yes.' He was amazed at himself. That it was so easy.
'Yes.'

'It's the other which is the real luck- what we have. Thats another matter altogether. Things don't happen like this often in a lifetime.'
'Have you- do you have other friends who- is it the same with anyone else?'
'No.'
Hilliard felt a rush of joy and his mouth was filled up with the words he wanted to say, his head rang with them and he could say nothing.

'You've been here before then?'
'No.' But then he thought that that was not true. he had been here, he had spent hours here with Barton, as they had talked in the apple loft and the tents and dugouts and billets, he could walk down the lane and paths for miles around. He knew it.

Susan Hill- Strange Meeting

By far the best war novel I have read so far. The simplicity of love between Barton and Hilliard is enough to make me choke up just thinking about it. Real human love.
I miss my friends.
