drunk and depressed
always leads to the same thing
me calling on you
to talk to me
whining to you
about how we're
so wrong, so right
crying out to anyone
that i don't understand
these things
that I've got myself into
WELCOME
..and here are a few things to keep in mind:
This blog contains mostly my poetry and a few thoughts from time to time. The thoughts will be entered when and wherever I feel necessary to keep things in proper order. Thoughts and things not belonging to me will be denoted with asterisks. Poems will be archived by the date which they were written, not by that which they were posted. I tend to update things a month or few after being written so as to keep current issues from wandering unattended around the web.
Enjoy...

Your Choices are Yours
The moar I've had to drink,
The less sorry I feel for you
You made the choices
To be who you are
The less sorry I feel for you
You made the choices
To be who you are

A little bit of alcohol
Some good electronic music
Prompts a headful of thoughts
I can entertain myself for hours

Personal Demons
Personal demons.
That is all.
No need for concern.
I just need something.
Numb my brain.
Fog my mind.
Keep me from sleeping.
(Until I have no other choice.)

Spiteful
These days are killing my soul
Busy and not home yet
Technology has taken over
There's not enough art in my life
I love you, but
My science experiment is telling
I'm going to leave your leftovers
on the table till they mold
Clothes are washing
I am finally fed
Time to cleanse and intoxicate
And soon to write myself to sleep

Wedding Planning
Planning a wedding might make me an alcoholic
If it doesn't, I'm going to blame it on the wedding, anyway.
I talk to the dresses
and wink at my bourbon

Southern Girl
Boots to my knees
Skirts to my thighs
A gun tucked in my left boot
A flask deep in the right

Pretty, Shiny Things
Perhaps,
the best way
to deal with my stress
and frustration
is to take
all my clothes off
and
put on
lots of fancy jewelry
Fight
my depression
with pearls
and jewels
and pretty, shiny things
Have
a drink or two
just to chill the nerves

Gnat in My Wine
black fly in your chardonnay?
gnat in my wine.
nat in my whine?
ironic or simply inconvenient?
I find it only inconvenient.

You By My Side
I want to do things with you
That I want to do with other people
I mean that generally
I want to get drunk; be stupid;
Stay up all night; laugh; joke;
Converse; go out in the wee morning;
I'm not ready to be mature again
I want to feel college; feel young
I do want to do it all with you by my side

dirty things
we all have our share of dirty things shoved back in dark corners
pouring myself full of liquid drug, loud music, and metal
because i cannot adequately feel anything

Bourbon
Red wine is classy
light beer is trashy
I'm just a Kentucky girl
so I drink my Bourbon straight.

Me - End of a Decade
I'm unlike any other and original just like the rest. I fill my time with IT work, online classes, and SGA IT stuff. I love music, computers, and words. Hobbies include: riding my bike, mixing drinks, loving on my cat, various sorts of artsy things, fixing, and organizing stuff. I wish I had more time to read, but I always find time for xkcd. I like digging junk out of dumpsters and giving mine away (on freecycle). I cut my own hair. I like mushroom hats, classy people, and dry humor. Most of my clothing is dark, "earthy" colors, beyond that, I believe any day is a good day to wear black.

Interesting Individual
My head is going crazy with thoughts about you
I hope you're not picking up on my mixed signals
Yours are clear enough - or so I think
I must be careful, can't let you become another one,
Another causality of my independence
You intrigue me, though, and pique my mind.
You fascinate me thoroughly and make me wonder...
I would like to sit and talk with you,
Some evening, perhaps all night
This must stay simple and innocent
The chatting, the charm (of newness)
Perhaps we should have a drink some time
...Should I mention?
You appeared in my dream last night.
I don't remember most of it, but
You did have a full back tattoo.

Stabilize
Stabilize.
Stabilize.
Not Stable.
Wobble furiously left and right.

Feel it now.
