Is my "I love you" face
Happy new year! 2013!
Is my calm serenity.
Silence
This is a language, not meant for words
Feel my movement, understand
Without knowing
Your confirmation is my breathing
My dance was made for consuming
the thing I have noticed about parents is...
that they are alone and hurt and broken and scared
just as much as their children are.
Life doesn't just magically happen, and its NEVER particularly easy
so as christmas winds down into the night
and I think about giving.
I wonder what exactly would I give my parents if I could give them anything
so here it is:
DAD:
I'd give dad a partner. a perfect partner that understood his every move
and loved him unconditionally.
It took me a long time to realize how much my dad loved me, because it took me a long time to understand how he showed his love.
He is a strange bird, my dad. and he needs a strange bird to suite him.
I don't want him to grow old alone.
but he can't be with just anyone.
He needs someone patient, and very understanding.
Someone eccentric but grounded
someone who will love him even when the gnarly parts of his gemini comes out
someone who will give him comfort and stability, a concept that is foreign to him in relationships
preferably this lady would be blonde, and spontaneous, gotta keep him on his toes.
but not so out there that it drives him crazy, well too crazy ;)
that is what I would give my dad.
and then I'd get him a black thunderbird with white walls.
ahhh yea
MOM:
I'd create a world for mom. her perfect world. A perfect house, with nice cars.
a stocked fridge, and a large yard.
a husband for show, and some kids. Two. One boy, one girl. both with brown hair, and brown eyes.
I can picture the whole thing. I'd give her a $$ card, to go shopping with everyday. And her husband would make lots of money so there would be no way for her to max the cards. She wouldn't have to work, so she wouldn't be tempted to steal. She'd have everything she wants and needs.
I would give it to her if I could. She'd have to be watched. and only given limited access to the real world outside of hers. But I think she'd be just fine. in her own world.
Maybe if I am ever famous or in money. I can do these things for my parents.
But until then I will give them what $$ can't buy.
Love
Just a random thought before bed. I remember when I first reconnected with my siblings, I was 16. I felt like the ugly duckling of the family. My oldest brother was a 22 year old playa, handsome. My second brother was modeling at the time. Tall, tan, etc. And my little brother was just entering highschool, as a little jock. And here I was this dirty, little angsty goth girl. Awkward as hell. And confused with my own sexuality. U name it. I wonder how much of our genetics determines our physical appearance. I know I'm still a bit awkward and odd looking, but I'm 100% more ok with it than I was a few years ago. Did my older brothers go thru the same thing? One thing I really missed out on is growing up with my brothers. We seem so distant. But I think about them all the time. And I'm am aunt now. By blood. Weird thoughts. Time for sleep.
If my heart was one
You'd be the only one who could....
Take it apart AND put it back together correctly
2nd blog for the day.
I can't remember who said it to me. But it was said summer 2010. When I was at a very low spot in my life, after moving twice and being fired 3 times. We all know that story so I will no tell it. I remember I was confiding in someone, whom I can not remember now, all I remember is the amount of respect I had for this individual. I was telling him how bizarre my life had been. How I went from feeling like the ugly duckling of the "family" (my brothers and mother being so pretty) to suddenly modeling and being told I was beautiful on a daily basis. And how awesome and new that was. But I felt the need to be made up, lots of make up, fake hair, fake eyelashes, fake nails. I sat with this man (who i feel was a lot older than me) telling him I didn't feel pretty anymore. My hair was short again, my acne was terrible, I never did my make up, and my nails where short and chipped. That is when he said "Charley, That is NOT what makes you beautiful. Your beauty comes from somewhere else."
All I remember is being stunned. shocked. offended. I felt at the time he was telling me that the make-up wasn't beautiful, or that I did not have outter beauty just inner. etc. etc. But about a month later, it set in. I knew what he meant, I can feel what he meant. I started to wear less and less makeup on the regular, I grew my hair out
I don't know what you hope to find. That's ok idk wat I am looking for
Of eeyore from winnie the pooh.
Because you have big droopy eyes
It has become painfully clear that I can not work with you, because u refuse to compromise. You are not capable of a single selfless act, and don't have the ability to acknowledge your own mistakes. I can not work against you, because I have learned from my past mistakes, and working against anything only causes unresolved friction. Hurt feelings, no progress. I'm not willing to risk depletion over a single persons internal conflict they choose not only to ignore but advocate. So I will work around you, be glad I consider you are worth the side step, most people wouldn't even give you that much.
There can not be beauty, without the presence of ugly.
Come on Charley.
I feel mislead but that's ok.
I want to be apart of the world I see.
But I am not of use.
Come on Charley
Your missing the point
I need some direction
So I can be defiant.
Bravery is facing the dark
Not knowing exactly what u are face to face with
Flaws only exist in plans. Come on Charley
We are waiting
What if I just want to be alone
So spoiled. I'm so spoiled. I've been staying at 4 star hotels once a week for a month now and its been a mix of fabulous and mundane. I LOVE the beds, and massive amount of pillows that are all cleverly stuffed with down feathers so never want to leave your bed, and therefore utilize the amazing room service at your fingertips. Regardless of how expensive it may be. Last night I found myself in a White cotton robe, fresh out of a prestine hot tub, lounging in down feathers, watching the daily show on a 48 flat screen, craving a candy bar. And I shit you not, I called the front desk and asked if they had candy bars and they said yes would you like one brought to your room? I shit my pants...not really. I said no thanks ill be down to get it in a few. How awesome!
Who decided what is gross, vulgar, grotesque, unmoral, etc.
My kids were listening to the library lady read a book and she talks about a woodpecker. She says that woodpeckers peck wood because they are trying to get the worms out to eat them. I find that absolutely terrifying. Poor worms, they have no hope. My kids obviously were not phased, but still. Just take a minute, put yourself in the worms shoes...I guess it would be the same thing if dinosaurs were still around. We would have to accept that death is a part of life. My god! What a thought. More later.

This is my friends blog. She said it best
All I can do right now is cry.
I'm crying over the tv show I'm watching.
I'm crying because I feel lame.
I feel like I'm in high school again.
Sometimes I'm a total girl.
And I cry over boys.
Boys.
But I see the problem.
The problem is always me.
Because life isn't fair.
So I don't speak about it.
I'm whining because my heart is still broken and my patience has worn thin.
Let's try to not take this out on the wrong person.
I really can't put into words how much I dislike a certain person. And the orb of shit that surrounds her. She has her own gravitational pull of bullshit. Be weary of those who have followers. Leaders were born to die.
How can someone be considered part of the alternative and yet be so ignorant.
We were built on being outcasts. Thrive on our differences, and live through our talents.
So what makes you so special.
Sometimes I look around and wonder: How did I get here and where did I come from?
As someone who is full of anger and hate, and yet is able to smother it out preventing explosive engagement that will undoubtfully harm another, I seriously can not tolerate a person who is so out of control that they consistently damage the people who are closest to them.
I'm not perfect, I have lashed out at innocent people, physically and emotionally.
I'm not innocent, but I've been victimized. Most of my assaults have come on unexpectedly, and abruptly. Within minutes kind words and complements turn to derogatory name calling and irrational assumptions.
Suddenly I am the worst person in the world. And yet I'm just the tip of the unstable iceberg.
I have come to understand that this is all temporary. Those who are eager to give you the world will be just as quick to pull it out from under your feet.
There is no weight to their words, and they will all eventually fade into the hazy forgotten parts of my brain.
As a humanitarian I hate to let go of people, I don't want to loose their beauty. But with a few choosen words I have changed their prospective of me, of my world.
They suddenly feel as if they don't fit in. Truth is, they have never fit in.
Likewise I have never fit in, and I'm still not fully prepared to venture alone.
"The best things come to those who wait"
Nanny always says that
Nanny is always right.
As I sit patiently for life to get a move on I also remember something else Nanny said. "You can't wait for life to happen you gotta make it happen yourself." So...which is it. Do I sit and hope or be progressive. Is this one of those grey areas again. You gotta fight for what u want, but seriously don't be ridiculous.
Ok..I'm convinced my apartment is haunted. I just looked over at a blanket and watched as something under it looked as if it was breathing. I think the ghost is a little boy. Maybe he's sleeping. Idk. He hasn't harmed me. And I don't want to wake him. Maybe I should ask my medium friend to check it out. ^_^
