When I fall,
I fall hard.
With him I'm falling off a cliff.
I try to catch myself with my arms.
It hurts like hell.
But better two broken arms,
Than a broken heart...
Right?

Derek almost fell off the cliff cause his horse was stupid. he would've been gone. it wasnt one of those "yeah I fell but i got right back up" cliffs, it was one of those "why the heck dont they have railings around the edge of this sucker?" cliffs.

perhaps we could dance hunt marshmellows and dance with raccoons near an unconvincing campfire-that is, if you are good country folk. n'inquiter pas.

Oh, there you are-didnt know you respondededededed captain. i do hate the writers block. funny thing i discovered is: if you actually have something to help you write like...i dont know...a pen or...some paper maybe...well then you can write! who knew? i should try that. i never actually sit down and try to write, i just expect the material to pop into my head, which is probrably why it does, just as rarely as it does, which could be why i haventwritteninages or, why i cant spell. i wish i knew the other computer had internet all this time. i would've updated my game. and we're sittin here wondering why the internettals are charging her all this money. "oh, you mean we have service?" i love this song. but, about you....

Oh yea i really hate that when you've got a good poem but you cant think of a title that's just as good or better - happens to me all the time. and sometimes i can think of a really good, attention-grabbing title but not a poem to go with it :
