Know how you feel...though it is nice to go for walks at five AM in that blue glow of not-quite-sunrise. Ah, now that is true beauty!

Damn, sounds like my ex.

Too much thinking will do that. I find a television station playing M.A.S.H, and instantly, I'm asleep.

Ah, a fellow insomniac. When all else fails, boot up your laptop and write a couple of 6Ss. I find anything is better than just lying there being aggravated that you can't sleep.

"Slowly being consumed by an overactive brain" is the money phrase. I hate when my thoughts are so intrusive and palpable that my head literally feels heavy and dizzy. I find that the sentences in this paragraph are really strong except for "Howev...

I don't re-read stuff very much, even the stuff I love. I just figure there is so much out there that I haven't read yet. But I am always waiting for that next read that makes feel the same way. I did enjoy reading this!

About Me:
My name's Rachel W.
I go to school full-time and work part-time, majoring in English Lit.
Reading and Writing are my bag, working on my writing and expanding the list of books I've read.
Extreme music lover, I don't spend much time in silence, constantly searching to add to my library.
I've got theatre in my soul, and will forever consider myself an actor though I don't perform as much as I'd like.
I don't believe in excluding something when you've never experienced it, I'm out to experience everything, I'll try anything once just to say I did.

From "Ceremony" by Leslie Marmon Silko
"I will tell you something about stories,
[he said]
They aren't just entertainment.
Don't be fooled.
They are all we have, you see,
all we have to fight off illness and death.
You don't have anything
if you don't have the stories.
Their evil is mighty
but it can't stand up to our stories.
So they try to destroy the stories
let the stories be confused or forgotten.
They would like that
They would be happy
Because we would be defenseless then.
He rubbed his belly.
I keep them here
[he said]
Here, put your hand on it
See, it is moving.
There is life here
for the people."

Perched

I had wings but they were clipped before I got the chance to fly.
I was going to try my hardest to stay airborne but I was grounded before I even lifted off.
Now I'm stuck here in this crowded cage biding my time until the feathers grow back.
Never felt the need to flap my wings and leave this cage in my wake until I wasn't allowed to.
Instead, I'm watching from my perch while all of the other birdies flutter around.
I'll dream of wings and whistling wind and the clouds above until I can join th… Continue

Beauty Doesn't Equal Truth

Have I been led astray by those with a honey tongue? They spouted such sweet, flowing beauty I couldn't help but soak it up. It never crossed my mind to be wary when their beautifully turned propositions echoed in my welcome ears. I couldn't resist giving them anything they wanted when they proffered their eloquent pleas. They sucked me in with false promises and faked beauty, chewed me up with the hideous teeth and foul breath they hid so carefully. They spit me out, used and abused with a heal… Continue

An Insomniac's Ponderings on Insomnia

Gravity's been pushing down all day long. It's time to put this aching body to bed. Eyes are heavy with the sleep that awaits on the inside of the lids. However, the mind is still whirring with every thought of past, present and future. Slowly being consumed by an overactive brain, sucking all hopes of being able to function in the morning. Lie back and watch the minutes wander past, sweet relief isn't coming tonight.

You Know It's A Good Book When...

You're thumbing through the pages for the seventh time.
After the eighth time, the binding is worn and broken.
The corners are crinkled from marking your place while reading for the ninth time.
I could probably recite every word from memory during the tenth time.
I know what will happen even before I open it for the eleventh time.
I still can't put it down for the twelfth time.

Laundry Soap for the Soul

We were once immaculate and pure. We were once unstained by reality's unforgiving dye. That all changed though when we came into ourselves; where there once was beautiful perfection there is now unsightly imperfection. No bleach can wash these glaring advertisements of our every sin out. We try to pretend they aren't there but nobody's buying it, try to pretend a false apology will wipe everything clean again but we all know the truth; our imperfections are here to stay. Our only hope is to make… Continue

Welcome to six sentences! I know I'm a little behind in saying so, but... I thought I'd do it anyway :]

You grew up in WA too AND lived in Texas for a while. What a crazy coincidence! I'm living in TX right now, close to the border. Yep, hate it, but unfortunately stuck here for a couple years. I'm visiting my folks next week, they live by Mount Rainier, so I'm REALLY looking forward to the rain, trees, and some laid back non country folk. :) Real music -hello. Which btw I LOVE your music also. Man, great taste and such variety. I like your greenefairy title, I'm a huge fan of Amy Brown.

I'm so looking forward to reading more of your work and getting to know you better! So glad you're here. :) ~Jodi

Hey, Rachel. Welcome aboard! I hear you're changing your major to English Iit. That's what I studied and loved it -- who wouldn't love an excuse to read and play with words?!?! Looking forward to your 6's..

Hey Rachel,
