Here I am.

You and I

Take me for who I am and leave me to myself
I am not you, and you are not me
I should think that all this time you insisted we put between us helped you,
for it did not help me
I don't need time to think, 
to plan out our lives as you do
take me as I am now
and I will not leave you.

A fool and his money take time....

Yesterday is today,
and today is tomorrow
what does is matter,
anyway,
if your time is "wasting"?
Time is a concept,
you fool,
you dummy,
and cannot be wasted
as you waste your money.

Angel's Garden

In the Ides of March
a door opens
to behold to mankind
a beautiful sight.

An Angel's Garden,
bathed in sunlight
and wreathed in golden flowers
that capture the purity of the still air
Honeydew drips from the moist moss
on which the winged and graceful creatures watch
As he, man, from water dotted leaves
quenches his greedy, craving thirst
and now
cannot leave
not ever
never
trapped
until the Ides of March the following year
when the door opens
once more
and the next man is greeted by
the winged
creatures
one more
than the year before.

Greed

It is not because of thirst
that the rich man drinks;
but to deprive the man behind him
of the water in his sink.

Goodbye

Why must I go on
when I do not wish to?
People are telling me I've a family
a life to lead
Isn't it my choice
if I wish to leave?
They want me to stay
for selfish reasons only
because it would hurt them
if I were gone
Well,
I'm flattered, really
but
I have no intent on
staying in such a place
where neighbors are vain
and family greedy
I wish to go to a quieter place
where I may be
alone.

These are a couple poems I wrote the other day... some are funny, some not so much. Because if you couldn't guess, that last one was about wanting to commit suicide. Not that I'm suicidal. Quite the opposite. I pride myself in being the cheeriest of my friends. But I do understand why it is someone's choice.
If someone thinks they care about someone, and demand that they stay, they don't love them at all if staying will hurt that person. That is a selfish reason, because who would it hurt if the person died? It would hurt them, not the person who actually wanted to leave.

Not that I think people should be ungrateful for the life they are given. However, sometimes the life you are given isn't worth living in the first place.

[Please check this out, it is possibly the best thing I've ever heard in my life. Really. It's this guy called Ben Konstantinovic  and he is the most talented guitarist I've ever heard. He plays a song called
The Journey and it is awesome. Enough said. You know what? Just go listen to it.]

Forget it!

Never mind what I said there. I love that friend, and am not really all that angry. Besides, who can be pissed off when listening to Keane? Specifically Can't Stop Now?

Anyhow, I'm not mad anymore.....


Boy do I hate Unit Projects. They make you do all this CRAP, and you're like oh thank god I finished....and then they give you more crap to do! RAAAAAH! Here are some links:


Keane-Can't Stop Now        (ignore the super sucky video, please)       

Hunger Games-Official Trailer    (do you think they found the right Katniss or Peeta? Not me...)



Anyhow. Forget the last post. Click the links. Be a fox. OH WAIT, HA HA, YOU CAN'T BE A FOX! BUT I CAN! HA HA HA HA! >:S

Yay....what? oh. seriously? :(

So! I was looking through my friends blogs today, and I came across one she hadn't told me about, so of course I was interested. It was called That Sunny Ground. Or something. Anyhow, I clicked on the link and it took me to a little page, a story about her talking to her friend, and then I lie about something for my own benefit. I'm not gonna tell you what it's about.

But she just assumed I was lying about it, and I really wasn't. The thing is, this one time on a school field trip, I tricked her into thinking I had once owned a horse. Later that day, I told her the truth, but she was really mad. I could understand, but it had been meant in jest and I hadn't thought she'd believe it in the first place. I apologized for it multiple times, but obviously she never forgave me, and once she even said she could never trust me again because of it! My other friend said exactly what I was thinking:
Oh my gosh, get over it!
I mean, it had been a few years, and honestly, I don't lie that much. Not just randomly, because I feel like it. I have that much respect for people, you know. The occasional thing: My other friend, lets call her Pinkie, told someone I had an older brother, which I don't.  So I just went along with it. Why not? Because of things like this, my friend assumes I'm always lying. Which I'm not.

It seems like I'm always the one who has to apologize! When did this become a habit and not a friendship?


Sigh.

~Flame

Whoa! Long time no blog!

Yay! I haven't been HERE in a while!

The Fox world has seen some developments:
New Characters
New DRAMA
New Plot
New Obsessions......case in point, I, Flame, am officially addicted to cheese and ice cream. (mainly ice cream XD )

Other than that, not much has been going on. I actually joined a club in Foxes Tumble (a big meeting place for all foxes, from all clans) where you can create professions. I (BUM BUMBUM BUUUMMMMM) am creating a chef for foxes.

First step is to create some recipes, costumes, catchphrases.....

Eh? Eh? Like the Costume? Eh?

(wants comments on the fox getup)

WOOOF

Crazy day today. Hung out with Clover and Ice, and we planned worst case scenarios and what we would do.

It was fun.

People always expect me to be serious and proper.
But believe me, that's NOT what I wanna do. I want to be a chef and cook for my friends and family. I want to be able to hang out all day and not be expected to do everything, and perfectly at that.
WHY IS IT SO COMPLICATED? Who knows. All I know is, I gotta get me some friends that aren't super popular. I'll hang out with Clover more often. Yeah. People say I'm a bit sassy and demanding, but that's not true. I'm demanding because I usually do everything, so when they have to do the simplest task, for them it's entirely new and they think I'm asking too much. All I want is a second to myself. Not even that, a moment. Just a while for me to think and breathe and not DEAL with people.

Anyone else feel the same?

LESSON

I took a lesson from a professional singer today.
Did I tell you I'm the worst singer in the whole wide world?
No, I didn't. Now you know. So it went-interestingly.
I don't think singers are supposed to scream that loud. In ANY event, I went home all depressed.
Here's a recap:
"So, how are you....Flame."
"You recognize me?"
"I've heard enough about you to know that this will be a painful lesson."
"Oh god. How much did Mrs. McHonnahough tell you."
"Too much. Now, as I take it, you left off with Mrs. McHonnahough at-simple rythms and how to sing a note....

That's me. Flame. Best singer ever. Hope someone makes a comment!

Excitement

I am excited.
Excited
excited
excited.
What for?
NOOOO idea.

SO yeah. Tomorrow I'll actually have something good to show you. Something interesting. Something-something life changing.
K, so probably I'll have NO NEWS WHATSOEVER.

OBVIOUSLY BORED OUT OF MY MIND

Oh well.

Flame

Wow. So, first post.
Coolio.
K, so...yeah. Not quite sure what to do.
I have a blog!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm basically the last person in Fox Hollow to get one, except for my sister, Ice.
But you'll hear from her soon, I bet. This is the best ever! It's like an escape from my annoying world of pretending that I care about burrowing and my future as a fox astronomer!
When the thing I ACTUALLY want to do, is be a chef.
Closest job to that around here is medicine fox, so I chose that.
I wonder who will find out that I have a blog first?
Probably Clover, my cousin.
He (yes, he) is very tied to his computer. Like, literally. Once he took a rope and tied himself to his PC, claiming a crazed fox had done it, just so that he would have an excuse not to hunt.
Yeah, he's wierd. But we all are! And, as you'll soon find out, especially me. :)
