I Apologize, It's Been A While

Never try to understand the students. They hate it.
They would much rather be tragically misunderstood.
+ + Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix

I don't believe that life is supposed to make you feel good, or make you feel miserable either. Life is just supposed to make you feel.

These are the moments I know heaven must exist. These are the moments I know all I need is this.

The fireworks begin today.
Each diploma is a lighted match.
Each one of you is a fuse.
++ Edward Koch

So sorry it's been a while since I posted. Broke up with my boyfriend of one year and I'm not in a relationship with my best guy friend of five years who I was in love with for the majority of those years, life is working out fairly well for me right now, I hope the same is true for you.

A Softer World

I went through the entire 'A Softer World' catalog and collected my favorites. Then I tried to share them with you, but the xanga isn't long enough for them to make sense, so I'm going to scale down just a few as opposed to 20 pages worth, 3 strips per page. I'm to tired to do the math.

Oh, oh there's more

Trying to Make Up for Lost Time

There are two kinds of light - the glow that
illuminates, and the glare that obscures.
+ + James Thurber

It is better to sleep on things beforehand than
lie awake about them afterwards.
Fear less, hope more; eat less, chew more;
whine less, breathe more; talk less, say more;
hate less, love more;
and all good things are yours.

+ + Swedish Proverb

As human beings, we need to know that we are not alone, that we are not crazy or completely out of our minds, that there are other people out there who feel as we do, live as we do, love as we do, who are like us.

I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?

I'm an instant star. Just add water and stir.

A person is a success if they get up in the morning and gets to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.

Enjoy the little things, for one day you may
look back and realize they were the big things.
+ + Robert Brault

No one is free, even the birds are chained to the sky.
-- Bob Dylan

The truth will set you free,
but first it will make you miserable.
+ + James A. Garfield

"I like the night. Without the dark, you would never see the stars."

"Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars--points of light and reason...And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn't see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything"
-Edward Cullen

Reach for the stars, even if you
have to stand on a cactus.
+ + Susan Longacre

My test of a good novel is dreading
to begin the last chapter.
+ + Thomas Helm

The world is round and the place which
may seem like the end may also be only the beginning.
+ + Ivy Baker Priest

If one dream should fall and break into a thousand
pieces, never be afraid to pick one of
those pieces up and begin again.
+ + Flavia Weedn

It's not easy taking my problems one at a
time when they refuse to get in line.
+ + Ashleigh Brilliant
I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind.
Some come from ahead and some come from behind.
But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see.
Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!
~Dr. Seuss
Maybe all one can do is hope to
end up with the right regrets.
+ + Arthur Miller
Some people are always grumbling because
roses have thorns;
I am thankful that thorns have roses.
+ + Alphonse Karr
Life's not always fair.
Sometimes you can get a splinter
even sliding down a rainbow.
+ + Cherralea Morgen
Wherever you go, no matter what the weather,
always bring your own sunshine.
+ + Anthony J. D'Angelo
When life knocks you down, try to land on your back.
Because if you can look up, you can get up.
So often time it happens, we all live our
life in chains, and we never even know
we have the key.
+ + The Eagles

Think what a better world it would be if we all,
the whole world, had cookies and milk about
three o'clock every afternoon and then lay
down on our blankets for a nap.
+ + Barbara Jordan
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck.
Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test
the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, life would be a smoothly paved, straight,
flat road to nowhere; safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.
(kind of like my life's philosophy, but I didn't write it)
We were trying different things,
we were smoking funny things,
making love besides the lake to our favorite song.
Sipping whiskey from the bottle,
not thinking about tomorrow.

They say that good things take time.
But really great things happen in the blink of an eye.

Do you remember or should I rewind?

I don't completely know who I am,
but I'm comfortable in my own skin.

After awhile, you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul. You learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean security. You begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises. You begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child. You learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans. After awhile, you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. You learn that you really can endure, that you really are strong, and that you really do have worth. You learn that with every goodbye, there's a hello.

Sorry for the never update, I could give you a bunch of different reasons why, but it's here now and that's all. :)

Mr. Brightside

I hope you guys like the new form my posts seem to be taking (in the fact that the placement of photos and text are actually considered). It seems to be working to my benefit because I've been getting a lot more comments and subscribers, I really appreciate it and, as everyone who does it knows, I always check out the person's site and comment; it's a give and get for me. Actually my last post receive so many more comments than I believe it really deserved because it was much too short. Not to worry, this post delivers more than enough! (and hopefully the massive post will lead to even more comments? )
On with the post

Love is like a violin. The music may stop now and then,
but the strings remain forever.
The problem with troubleshooting
is that trouble shoots back.

Happiness can be found even in the darkest
of times if one only remembers to
turn on the light
.-Albus Dumbledore

Sometimes things fall apart
for other things to fall into place.








I owe much to my friends; but, all things
considered, it strikes me that I owe even
more to my enemies. The real person
springs life under a sting even
better than under a caress.
+ + André Gide

What a pity human beings can't exchange problems.
Everyone knows exactly how to solve the other fellow's.
+ + Olin Miller
Life didn't promise to be wonderful.

  - Teddy Pendergrass

It didn't promise anything.

Damaged people are dangerous.
They know they can survive.
+ + Josephine Hart
I'm in love with you. I apologize for the blunt delievery,
but as problematic as this fact may be, I am in love with you.
And I'm not feeling this because you're leaving and not
because it feels good to feel this way, which, by the way, it does.
I can't figure out the mathematics of this. I just know I love you.

You make me happier than I ever thought I could be.

It is my responsibility as your best friend to
make sure you go do exciting things,
even when you don't want to.
And family means no one gets left behind

May the forces of evil be confused on the way to your house - George Carlin

We see things not as they are, but as we are.

Things will happen in your life that you can't stop.
But that's no reason to shut out the world.
-Now and Then

Some days you wake up and immediately start to worry. Nothing in particular is wrong it's just that suspicion that forces are aligning quietly and there will be trouble.
If someone breaks your heart,
just punch them in the face.
Oh sure, it seems obvious now,
but you'd be amazed at how many people don't
think of it when it's relevent.
Seriously, just punch them in the face and
go get some ice cream.
so don't explain...cause i know exactly what you're going to say.
big words, recycled phrases and the bittersweet taste of all the
the other girls on your lips.
The day I learn to fly
I'm never coming down
On perfect wings ill rise through
The layers of the clouds
"Anyonee who understands how standing in a crowd of sweaty people, elbow to elbow, screaming along to the words embedded in your heart, can give you the most happiness ever needed and someone who knows it's okay to love something maybe a little too much, as long as it's real to you."
-Alana Star.

I'm just another silly teenage girl
Who keeps her hopes too high
And her jeans too low
Who lives by quotes
& can't ever seem to say the right thing
At the right time
Just another pretty girl
Looking for herself in a big bad world
Who just wants someone to love her
And then everything would be okay

No matter how many coins you throw
In a fountain or the number of fingers you cross
If its not meant to be, it won't happen

As long as you keep getting born,
it's alright to die some times.
+ + Orson Scott Card
When the Japanese mend broken objects,
they aggrandize the damage by filling the
cracks with gold. They believe that when
something's suffered damage and has a history

it becomes more beautiful.

+ + Barbara Bloom






people should fall in love with their eyes closed.
just close your eyes. don't look and it's magic.
-Andy Warhol

I wondered what happened when you offered yourself to someone, and they opened you, only to discover you were not the gift they expected and they had to smile and nod and say thank you all the same.
-My Sister's Keeper

Everybody knows, you don't get what you planned and
everybody runs away from what they don't understand.
everybody hides away, the guilt of their youth and
everybody wonders why no one ever tells the truth.

'love' is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.
-stranger in a strange land

it's the possibility that keeps us going; not the guarantee.
-The Notebook
I'm here, and I love you. I have always loved you, and I will always love you. I was thinking of you, seeing your face in my mind, every second that I was away. When I told you that I didn't want you, it was the blackest kind of blasphemy.

It's Love

Hey all, new update. I'd just like to request, rather insist, that if you take something from this site that says, below it (mine) or (hopelesslyromanticepiphany) that means I wrote it/made it and I would like to be credited on your site. If it says (mine) please don't keep it like that, then it looks like it's yours on your site. Thanks a lot, oh and if you take stuff I would appreciate comments, I'll never demand them or not post because I'm not getting any (because really this site was supposed to be a collection of icons/pictures/quotes that I really liked) but if you do comment I always look at the commenter's site and comment on theirs, so it's worth it
Oh, and a general widespread thanks to everyone who commented on my last post, I got six which is the most ever in one post

Oh, one more thing - sorry for the late update, I hope to update more frequently.

On with the xanganess! (fiinally right?)

To be nobody but yourself in a world which

is doing its best, night and day, to make you
everybody else means to fight the hardest
battle which any human being can fight;
and never stop fighting.

- e.e. cummings

I thought growing up was something that
happened automatically as you got older.
But it turns out it's something
you have to choose to do.
+ + Scrubs

Be pleasant until ten o'clock in the morning
and the rest of the day will take care of itself.
- Elbert Hubbard
The difference between ordinary and
extraordinary is that little extra.
- Jimmy Johnson

All my life I had been looking for something,
and everywhere I turned someone tried to
tell me what it was. I accepted their answers
too, though they were often in contradiction and
even self-contradictory. I was naïve. I was
looking for myself and asking everyone except
myself questions which I, and only I, could answer.
It took me a long time and much painful
boomeranging of my expectations to achieve
a realization everyone else appears to have
been born with: that I am nobody but myself.
- Ralph Ellison

Never miss an opportunity to make others happy,
even if you have to leave them alone in order to do it.

Don't look where you fall,

but where you slipped.

+ + African Proverb

the worst battle is between
what you know,
& how you feel.
