• Anna commented on the post, bucket 10 months, 2 weeks ago

    A bucket of memories. That’s what my mind feels like sometimes. Just stuff and stuff and more stuff, slimy and dirty and slippery, all crammed together in a little space, with no choice but to sit there in my head […]

  • Anna commented on the post, brief 11 months, 1 week ago

    Brief. Quick. Fast. I have a confession to make. Sixty seconds is too brief for me to write anything worth reading. I always write like a whole other paragraph after the little bell rings. Forgive me, oh internet.

  • Anna commented on the post, desk 1 year, 1 month ago

    My desk is a mess. Not even a beautiful mess, just piles of useful crap that makes me want to scream from it’s boringness. But I know if anything disappears, I’ll need it a minute later. I want one of those cool […]

  • Anna commented on the post, splash 1 year, 1 month ago

    Splash, the sound water makes when it spills. It splashes around, and pours away. You never see it again, after that one breathtaking moment of iridescent droplets flying through the air. Before you realize it, it […]

  • Anna posted an update in the group Group logoonescene 1 year, 1 month ago

    When I close my eyes, all my thoughts at that moment come to life, swirling like a kaleidoscope, just out of reach of the logical progression of things. Random things, like the tree I saw this morning, purple combat boots, fog. But when I trey to reach for a thought, it shies away, leaving me grasping at air. I close my eyes without thinking, and thoughts intrude on the silence, even though thinking itself is like trying to grab hold of a hand in a rainstorm. A monsoon. My thoughts are like a swirling purple monsoon, engulfing me and forcing open my eyelids, and then I stare at the world and the kaleidoscope swirls away, leaving behind blank empty logic in an infinitesimal moment.

    residue. Thats what my thoughts are now. I used to have these creative captivating amazing thoughts. My mind was like a book. Now i just lay there, and there’s just residue. Sad, old, dried up remnants of things […]

  • Anna wrote about the word thorns 1 year, 4 months ago

    Thorns are exploding across my forearm as I type this. Brittle, bitter, and dull. As if someone were stabbing my wrist, but more… dull, like hammer blows. The bruises are thorny, giant stripy patches of green and yellow across most of the front of my wrist and a big purply red blotch on the back [...]

  • Anna wrote about the word trunk 1 year, 4 months ago

    My mind is blank when I read this word. Blank as a gray silvery floating piece of fabric shimmering in the moonlight. Blank as a canvas covered in black and purpling fading streaks of watercolor. Blank as the echoing notes at the beginning of a miserably poignant sonnet.. set to music. Well, again, now it’s [...]

    It fizzes in your glass, it fizzes in your mouth, but it doesn’t fizz down your throat. I find that amazingly wonderful and drink ridiculous amounts of it. ahhhh…

  • Anna wrote about the word glimmer 1 year, 4 months ago

    glimmer! shine! sparkle! embrace the cheesy spirit of the new year! But ignore the shiny glimmer of tears in the corners of my eyes, because this is a happy time, isn’t it? ISNT IT? Well be happy then. You don’t have to care about everything. You’re just a person. People aren’t perfect. So let the [...]

    She raced across the muddy ground, her feet raising up arcs of splashing muck, spraying out behind her. Up ahead, she could just see the hope, the end of the fence running at her side, but the barking of the dogs behind seemed even closer, though she could risk losing even the few seconds it [...]

  • Anna wrote about the word palette 1 year, 5 months ago

    paintbrush, flying, whirling, mixing, yellow, gold, green, trees and grass and meadows, darkness, purples, silvery inferno of shade, merci pour le venin, quiet music in the background, accentuating, screaming, but it just all mixes together so perfectly.

  • Anna started the forum topic kaleidoscope in the group Group logoshare your psyche: 1 year, 5 months ago

    What does my brain do while I’m not paying attention? Really, one moment it has a perfectly legible train of thought and then everything kaleidoscopes and I’m happy or sad or thinking in another language. People tell me I’m bipolar. Really, I just can’t stay in one mood for a while. I want to experience [...]

  • Anna wrote about the word palette 1 year, 5 months ago

    I love art palettes. The vintagey wooden kind with like smears of oil paint all over them. of course, MY pallettes never look like that, i end up with a brown mess of whatever color i was using to paint… still, I love watching people paint and mix all the colors and get such amazingly [...]

  • Anna wrote about the word secretary 1 year, 8 months ago

    I don’t think anyone in our school has a secretary, as in the person. my dentist has one, she’s SO much nicer than the guy, I’m pretty sure HE has a vendetta against me or something. A few years ago my mom found a secretary at a garage sale, (as in the furniture) and now [...]
