375 Entries for “switching”

  1. We have been switching from one to the other, staying there a while and changing our minds again the way children do about which parent they like the best. On one hand mom gave you chocolate yesterday but on the other dad took you to the park. On one hand we were in love but on the other we couldn’t stand the sight of each other.

  2. walking thru the darkest forest I was trying my hardest to spot the imaginary leopard… the skillled lepard that was stalking me. I imagined switching places with my stalker … trying to behave as my enemy would. How would I stalk me? Would I be persistant or give up with boredom the more my prey played with me? Imagine how to save myself in a blind crisis…while suffering frost bite.

  3. I can’t help but wonder what it would be like to switch places with a famous person. I mean, I’m sure that their life would be difficult; what with all the people going after them and fawning over them, but I mean think about it; it’d be pretty awesome. I wonder what it would be like; switching places I mean.

  4. I’ve already written something about switching off. I often like switching off my brain at work so I don’t have to listen to the annoying barmaid who likes to talk AT me. But sometimes its hard switching back to I can be attentive to the customers. I hope this website switches to a different word soon, I think I’d enjoy writing about something else and switching over my mind,

  5. everyone tells me that i’m “switching” genders. i’m not switching anything. i am who i am. i am becoming the person i am. i am not switching from girl to boy, hell, i’m not even a boy anyways. i am not anything. there is nothing to change but the minds of the people around me, and perhaps my wardrobe as well.

  6. switching off the tv before going to bed is often very hard. switching off means you actually have to move instead of nicely dozing on the sofa. Although dozing on the sofa is often bad for you, sometimes its better to just switch off the tv and leave.

  7. switching back and forth between channels on her television, she got nothing but static. she pressed the “guide” button on her remote, but there were no channels listed. she tried to turn the television off, it gave no response. then, she unplugged it. Still nothing but a polar bear in a snowstorm on her tv. the static was getting louder. there was movement outside of the window. no one heard her scream.

  10. Switching bodies, switching places. A switch for a train that can mean life or death. The light switch which can illuminate all or put all into chaos. Switch hitting, I am verasitle, capable of more than you see. Change of pace, switch things up, try something new.

  19. Hell is not somewhere you want to end up. In Hell, people always try to find something to judge you on, try to see through you to the bad. They only want to find your flaws and won’t even let you live because they refuse to forgive.
    So let’s switch over to Heaven, and stay there.
    Because in Heaven, people choose to see the best in you and don’t dwell on your mistakes. They put efforts into making you feel like a free spirit. They’ll welcome you, and won’t let you feel any guilt. Heaven is definetly the place where you want to end up.

  21. It’s only fair to know the other side
    What they feel and know to be true
    When the sound calls switch
    And know too
    It’s not your fault the way they are
    How they live and let live and love
    Only to help you’re there not to fx
    The only thing to give is hope
    Switching give you sight
    To see how to hope
    For light in your sorry situation
    It’s only fair to know you’re not alone

  23. I think about it somedays, what would it be like to switch lives with someone else? Would I enjoy it? Regret it? Would I totally forget about my old life? When I think about it, switching bodies could be P-R-E-T-T-Y sketchy…

  25. Switching could mean anything really. Switching clothes, switching friends, switching seats in class…sometimes we are too busy switching and changing that we forget to be happy with what we already are. Sometimes switching leads to a better situation…sometimes it doesn’t.

  27. Time zone a nd places. Another perspective on life and it’s charming nothing like yourself the way it is how we’re you to have known what it’s like for her? That was your mistake walking in her shoes but it was nice to know you’re not alone. Brains are good for switching and see through new eyes. It never happens but it’s always good when it does. No one expects it and they are selfish and sorry but once experienced its a life changer and you will never be the same. But it’s only for a moment it seems like. A moment. When worlds collide and there’s that spectacular flash of light and you finally see. Suddenly I see.

  29. Suddenly, the answer hit me like a frying pan in the face. They had been switching places! That’s why Laurie and Sam had both claimed they were at the cafe during the murder. They had switched shifts and not changed it on the shift schedule. So now the question was, who was telling the truth and who was the murderer?

  30. switching, on, off.
    on, off. light, dark.
    Hot, cold. You say one thing
    one minute, something else the next.
    switching beds and girls and
    heartbeats.
    they’re twitching curtains
    and watching our
    lives flash past in
    a mist of mystery,
    a flood of tears.

  33. It seems as if you’re always
    switching sides
    the ball moves
    from one end of the court
    to the other
    so quickly
    My mind can’t keep up
    Leaving me endlessly confused
    At your always changing temperment
    And your always switching sides.

  34. She turned, twisted, tilted
    Until her eyes met the hole
    Popped the cork through the gap
    And made a line of froth across the carpet
    Each bubble pierced by cat hair
    Left on its way out

  38. Switching sides of the field. Switching partners ’round and ’round. Swapping. Swapping husbands. The clear circular bowl that harbors the keys of all the husbands there. Approach it and stick your hand into the metal claws, secretly hoping to get your husband. Or at least Jill’s.

  39. Jack was switching from a large white pill to a tiny orange pill. He had been told that his current medication wouldn’t be too kind to his kidneys, and frankly, he preferred potential mood swings to the inability to create normal bodily functions.

    He sat down for a lunch of cheese and crackers and popped the little tablet into his mouth, washing it down with his can of coke. He could almost feel it fizzing into dust in his stomach.
