Quotes
- My absolute favorite:
"Nature knows no indecencies; man invents them." -Mark Twain
“If you ask loads of women what went wrong in a relationship, they’re going to give you a variety of answers. But you ask men, especially at a bar somewhere, and they’re gonna go, ‘Uh, bitch went nuts!’”- Ben Folds
"Pretty isn't beautiful,
pretty is what changes.
What the eye arranges
is what is beautiful." - Sunday in the Park with George.
"You can oppose yourself and edit yourself all you want, but there's still a little freak inside you that wants to talk."
-Ben Folds
"I'm a musician, I'm not a lyricist. And I have to find the lyrics inside the music because I don't sit around and write poetry on candy wrappers."
-Ben Folds
"The world is full of ugly things that you can't change. Pretend its not that way...." -Ben Folds
"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind"
- Dr. Seuss
"When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies."
--Peter Pan and Wendy (J.M. Barrie)
"If you shut your eyes and are a lucky one, you may see at times a shapeless pool of lovrly pale colours suspended in the darkness; then if you squeeze your eyes tighter, the pool begins to take shape, and the colours become so vivid that with another squeeze they must go on fire. But just before they go on fire you see the lagoon. This is the nearest you ever get to it on the mainland, just one heavenly momentl if there could be two moments you might see the surf and hear the mermaids singing "
-- Peter Pan and Wendy (J.M. Barrie)
"Always remember that the cream rises to the top."
-- Mr. Harned
"Far away in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead."
--Louisa May Alcott
"As I grow to understand life less and less, I learn to love it more and more."
--Jules Renard
"Men spend their lives in anticipations,--in determining to be vastly happy at some period when they have time. But the present time has one advantage over every other--it is our own. Past opportunities are gone, future have not come. We may lay in a stock of pleasures, as we would lay in a stock of wine; but if we defer the tasting of them too long, we shall find that both are soured by age."
--Charles Caleb Colton
Hey there everyone! My name's Guinevere, or Guine (like Gwen, just spelled differently) if you like. I'm here to share my writing and music and also to read and hear yours as well as anything else that's interesting which I'm sure will be! I'm a fun, loving, outspoken girl who is just in search of happiness and figuring out life one day at a time. In the past year or so I've started writing a lot more due to some time to pass and I've found a real passion for it where before it was simmering. I'm also an aspiring Musical Theatre actress and hope to go to school studing in that area in the near future. I'll post videos and audios of my music which I usually just find little karaoke's to. I'll also post my writing and maybe some vlogs on whatever pops into my head. Look forward to hearing from all of you soon and I hope you like my work!
I feel so blarghish
Nov 20, 2008
I always feel like I should put my blog stuff on face book but then when I start to write it, I feel like it’s too personal and I don’t want people I know and sometimes don’t really know but only sort of know reading it. I mean, the entire idea is that people read what you have to say and they just take it but that’s not how it is anymore. I feel like everyone is waiting for the moment where they can pounce on you for something you’ve said or done or what’s actually been happening in the past moth other than the abbreviated version I tell about one hundred times a day on autopilot.
I guess the first thing that’s ticking me off is that people don’t understand why I was actually in a psychiatric hospital in the first place. I mean, I guess it’s a pretty common question, but still, you know the people who do know have already told them about it and what they have heard blah, blah, blah. It’s not like Girl, Interrupted in any aspect. Alright, well maybe in some, the plastic silverware, sharps and 15 minute checks that really bother the shit out of you and shred away all of your dignity. The only reason I was there was because for a year and a half I’ve had this impossible pain condition I can’t control except with addictive medications and since being a numb zombie 24/7 apparently isn’t in style at the moment I was shipped out for the longest 5 days (4 insomnia laden nights) of my life. I won’t lie, I felt better when I was there but as soon as I got home it was like an explosion of exhaustion and emotion which together are impossible to handle without crying to my mother/best friend about. I can’t get it across that I’m not really depressed, per say, I’m just really, really tired.
I haven’t had any chance to write, nor the urge up until this moment. I guess I should change that since it’s the only thing I have going for me right now, I feel. I feel like I’m paused, like my characters, in this moment in time. Everything is moving in slow motion and the things happening around me are a blur but hit with such strength, no matter what they are, they’re impossible to tolerate. I’m becoming Nicole. I guess I’ve always been her in most ways but now I feel I’ve kind of come full circle, minus the excessive drinking.
The director at my school just changed our show last minute from Sweeney Todd to 110 In The Shade. This was the roman empire crumbling while I sat watching with a blueberry slushy in my hands. I was so excited for Sweeney, you have no idea and I know nothing about 110 except it has one female role and our black box The Last 5 Years in which Cathy lays, my dream role. If we’re lucky this will get double cast. The fact of the matter is that the entirety of my drama club, especially among the girls, will be blood on the walls and 30 some-odd girls “belting as high as they can.” Brace yourselves, it’s the most wonderful time of the year… again.
Twilight is coming out in an hour and six minutes. This pleases me. I’m sad I can’t see the midnight premier but at 3:55 tomorrow I’ll be watching my beautiful Edward Cullen come to life. Maybe he’ll jump out and save me from the real world.
I want to be a vampire.
