<title>The Mad Hatter as a woman</title>

<description>She went merrily wherever she goes...&#x3C;br&#x3E;Up the hill, down the hill, it  didn&#x27;t matter.&#x3C;br&#x3E;Her obliviousness was her most cherished  characteristic, and for her, ignorance really is bliss.&#x3C;br&#x3E;There are no  wheels in her world, no ups and downs.&#x3C;br&#x3E;There are only images and  doodles that floats around with tiny wings.&#x3C;br&#x3E;Her day is made up of  bumming out, roaming with out direction and creating songs with no  meaning.&#x3C;br&#x3E;But for her, it made perfect sense.&#x3C;br&#x3E;Time is not of the  essence in her mindset.&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;This is her defense mechanism. Sanity is  her enemy.&#x3C;br&#x3E;Reality is at war with her, and time cannot capture her in  her world.&#x3C;br&#x3E;She prances around with no master and her heart is  chained from the inside.&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;But sometimes, it catches up. And her  world crumbles down.&#x3C;br&#x3E;She always get back up though, so worry not.&#x3C;br&#x3E;Buckets  of tears, stone-heavy heart meets her for twenty days and twenty  nights.&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;But at the twenty-first day, she shines once more.&#x3C;br&#x3E;Overcoming  the storm, no, pushing the storm so far at the back of her mind, and  leaves...</description>

<title>Dying of Thirst</title>

<description>It has taken the best of me&#x3C;br&#x3E;Not just a drop but everything&#x3C;br&#x3E;I dehydrate with the sole memory&#x3C;br&#x3E;Of a thirst-quenching drink of bitter ale&#x3C;br&#x3E;I&#x27;ve been wrung out to the core&#x3C;br&#x3E;And thrown aside for more&#x3C;br&#x3E;And they repeat it again and again&#x3C;br&#x3E;No water to spare, no love to share&#x3C;br&#x3E;I&#x27;ve been dying of thirst&#x3C;br&#x3E;Ever since I gave up on my dreams&#x3C;br&#x3E;Ever since I gave up reaching out&#x3C;br&#x3E;Running after fantasies&#x3C;br&#x3E;And reality got the best of me&#x3C;br&#x3E;I&#x27;m dying but I&#x27;m living&#x3C;br&#x3E;A standard stand-still&#x3C;br&#x3E;An eternal twilight&#x3C;br&#x3E;I&#x27;m dying, but I won&#x27;t&#x3C;br&#x3E;Like a cruel torture&#x3C;br&#x3E;But today, I&#x27;ll drink and day-dream&#x3C;br&#x3E;For the day, I fight for my dreams&#x3C;br&#x3E;I won&#x27;t be dying of thirst&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;</description>

<link>http://dutchessq17.multiply.com/journal/item/19/Tale_of_the_End</link>
<description>  It&#x27;s been years&#x3C;br&#x3E;But still it haunts me&#x3C;br&#x3E;How it ended&#x3C;br&#x3E;Not how it began&#x3C;br&#x3E;It started as a love story&#x3C;br&#x3E;And ended in tragedy&#x3C;br&#x3E;Would you like me&#x3C;br&#x3E;to tell you a story?&#x3C;br&#x3E;Of the end&#x3C;br&#x3E;Not the beginning&#x3C;br&#x3E;I met you&#x3C;br&#x3E;Fell in love&#x3C;br&#x3E;With a monster in you&#x3C;br&#x3E;We fought against it&#x3C;br&#x3E;Cried about it&#x3C;br&#x3E;To no avail&#x3C;br&#x3E;But we found the answer&#x3C;br&#x3E;The only cure&#x3C;br&#x3E;But to use it&#x3C;br&#x3E;You would have to give something&#x3C;br&#x3E;in return&#x3C;br&#x3E;Equivalent exchange&#x3C;br&#x3E;I said don&#x27;t&#x3C;br&#x3E;Stay the same&#x3C;br&#x3E;And you nodded&#x3C;br&#x3E;and stayed silent&#x3C;br&#x3E;But that night&#x3C;br&#x3E;You came to the shore&#x3C;br&#x3E;You were there&#x3C;br&#x3E;With a solemn face&#x3C;br&#x3E;Then you did it&#x3C;br&#x3E;The cure&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x22;Don&#x27;t forget.&#x22;&#x3C;br&#x3E;You chanted over and over again&#x3C;br&#x3E;You fainted&#x3C;br&#x3E;You woke up&#x3C;br&#x3E;Looked at me&#x3C;br&#x3E;In silence&#x3C;br&#x3E;Tears came silently&#x3C;br&#x3E;It was then clear&#x3C;br&#x3E;With your words&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x22;Who are you?&#x22;&#x3C;br&#x3E;The memories of me&#x3C;br&#x3E;Gone from your mind&#x3C;br&#x3E;Love for me&#x3C;br&#x3E;Gone with it&#x3C;br&#x3E;Like a headstone&#x3C;br&#x3E;In the middle of nowhere&#x3C;br&#x3E;My existence to you&#x3C;br&#x3E;Became unknown&#x3C;br&#x3E;</description>

<title>War Baby</title>

<description>There was a moment of silence&#x3C;br&#x3E;Before the war began&#x3C;br&#x3E;And as the time&#x27;s nearer&#x3C;br&#x3E;There stands a lone man&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;He held his can dearly&#x3C;br&#x3E;As if death was here&#x3C;br&#x3E;And the tension was ringing&#x3C;br&#x3E;There was nothing but fear&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;Children, all shivering,&#x3C;br&#x3E;Yearns for their mothers&#x3C;br&#x3E;And fathers who are out&#x3C;br&#x3E;Couldn&#x27;t be seen from the shutters&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;And I were one of them&#x3C;br&#x3E;An orphan almost&#x3C;br&#x3E;I could almost remember&#x3C;br&#x3E;The potatoes and roast&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;Of the good times, were peace&#x3C;br&#x3E;And dinner always served&#x3C;br&#x3E;But now it was nearly over&#x3C;br&#x3E;I could hear it from the curb&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;There was silence,&#x3C;br&#x3E;But what&#x27;s worse&#x3C;br&#x3E;Would Mom&#x3C;br&#x3E;Or Dad die first?</description>

<description>Our love, you know, beyond all doubt&#x3C;br&#x3E;Was wrong and cruel but dear&#x3C;br&#x3E;Now as we part our hands withdraw&#x3C;br&#x3E;There wasn&#x27;t any fear&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;I went home then and went to bed&#x3C;br&#x3E;I couldn&#x27;t stare her in the eye&#x3C;br&#x3E;For I know that with our love so wrong&#x3C;br&#x3E;If she knew then she would cry&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;That night I swore I heard a laugh&#x3C;br&#x3E;A chuckle so dark and deep&#x3C;br&#x3E;I straightened up and looked around&#x3C;br&#x3E;This creature who broke my sleep&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;And there by the end of my bed&#x3C;br&#x3E;A devil that&#x27;s small in size&#x3C;br&#x3E;Looked at me so savagely&#x3C;br&#x3E;As if I were a prize&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x22;Child, you fool, you brought this on&#x3C;br&#x3E;yourself so don&#x27;t repent.&#x3C;br&#x3E;This sin, so vile, is yours to pay&#x3C;br&#x3E;Your soul then if you can&#x27;t.&#x22;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x22;It had to be done!&#x22; I screamed at it&#x3C;br&#x3E;The devil snorted a laugh&#x3C;br&#x3E;He danced around my bed as if&#x3C;br&#x3E;Victory is in its lap&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;The morning came and I woke up&#x3C;br&#x3E;The dream was all but real&#x3C;br&#x3E;But as I got out of my bed&#x3C;br&#x3E;The world to a still&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;Blood, I thought, I smell it now&#x3C;br&#x3E;The horror is in the room&#x3C;br&#x3E;My lover sprawled there in the ground&#x3C;br&#x3E;The room was but his tomb&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;And in my hands I held a knife&#x3C;br&#x3E;I knew beyond all doubt&#x3C;br&#x3E;I killed th...</description>

<title>I am a manga dork and a murderous freak</title>
<link>http://dutchessq17.multiply.com/journal/item/16/I_am_a_manga_dork_and_a_murderous_freak</link>
<description>I&#x27;ve been reading romance mangas again. *DORK* And honestly, it&#x27;s really great. Even with all the cliches and the crying, there&#x27;s always that happy ending. (as I&#x27;ve said, DORK) &#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;But the thing is... Whenever I&#x27;m reading a manga and get all freaky and fangirl-y, I get all depressed and bitter...&#x26;nbsp; It&#x27;s as if a drawer in my heart opened up and the feelings inside it all gushes out. I think I figured out why. In the stories, there is always that one person who sticks by the main character and reminds her each and every time that she&#x27;s special and appreciates all that she is. *drama queen*&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;Enough with the drama and the bitterness!!!&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;Anywhoo... I want to try something new, something I haven&#x27;t done before. And then there was that invite that I accepted concerning a thing about that thing for some event. (Ambiguous much?) But moving on, I accepted (YAY!) and I plan to friggin&#x27; do my best in it. Though I&#x27;m pretty sure I&#x27;d be the odd one out with no friends, awkwardly trying to be pleasant in t...</description>

<title>OL Diary # 1</title>
<link>http://dutchessq17.multiply.com/journal/item/14/OL_Diary_1</link>
<description>I&#x27;m thinking about leaving for a while again. Why? Maybe because of &#x27;that&#x27;. Maybe I couldn&#x27;t take the disappointment anymore or th lack of proper communication and coordination&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;The fact is that I couldn&#x27;t feel anything here. Nothing at all. And maybe it&#x27;s because even the ones who are supposed to be fired up aren&#x27;t really into it. It really ruins the mood when someone who was supposed to be the top dog becomes empty, wanting for something more than it all.&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;I want a place that is filled with commitment, not half-baked. So I think I will go back. To the place where I really feel it. But I&#x27;m not sure. I want to think first. Nice and hard...&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;</description>

<title>Depressed, just another blog,,, BEWARE: RANT ALERT</title>
<link>http://dutchessq17.multiply.com/journal/item/13/Depressed_just_another_blog_BEWARE_RANT_ALERT</link>
<description>  I&#x27;m so depressed... I don&#x27;t know what to do... I know it was my fault... And I hate myself for it...&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;My after effects crashed and 3 days of hard work disappeared... I only managed to recover half the file, a backup from before... The real file couldn&#x27;t open, saying the file is corrupt... The file was needed tonight! I tried real hard to finish the working file but it was too late... They told me to just finish it and pass it tomorrow. Clearly, they were disappointed. &#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;But what really hurts is that I worked on it for it three days... Considering that two of those are school days and the other one is a family day, I had not much time to do it. But as God as my witness I stayed up late to work on it. I&#x27;ve never worked on something for 3 hours straight without stopping. I did it alone.. And it was my first time making a video. And my views have changed... It was hard. You have to watch the footage, create a story board, listen to the BG song a LOT of times, Check the tempo and beat of the ...</description>

<description>    SEE BEYOND&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;I have lived all of my life alone... I never tried to reach out and I never really did crave for attention. I was nice and happy in my little corner in the library.&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;I&#x27;m rebellious. I don&#x27;t care what you think. I hate commitments. I hate attachments. I fool around with guys and I leave after. Breaking a heart isn&#x27;t so hard and I will do it all over again if I have to.&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;I am independent. I don&#x27;t need anyone. I can stand up on my own and I am not afraid to show you pain. I know no fear, but even if I do at times I wouldn&#x27;t tell you. I am strong. Being by myself is no problem.&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;I sell my dignity not because I have to but because I want to. Relationships are but a blur to me and honestly I am better off whoring around. Guys are my puppets and I am their queen. They&#x27;re all the same to me.&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;I work for myself and only myself. I hate my family and even though they write me letters about my father being sick, I feel no pain. Why? Because I have no feelings for them and I don&#x27;t need them. ...</description>

<title>I still like him...</title>
<link>http://dutchessq17.multiply.com/journal/item/8/I_still_like_him...</link>
<description>  Have you ever experienced having a friend whom you feel so comfortable with? So comfortable that it doesn&#x27;t bother you when he sits close? I had one in third year hs.&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;He wasn&#x27;t flashy. Nope, he was every bit as awkward as I was. I didn&#x27;t stand out much, neither did he. But between the two of us, we could always notice each other. It wasn&#x27;t difficult being close to him, if that&#x27;s what we were. He reserves a smile for me as I do for him. We were such children as to pinch or punch each other playfully on the arm whenever we met. Needless to say, I liked him. I dreamed for it to be mutual, but I always thought of it as one-sided.&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;But everything stops when you mature. At 4th year, I became aware of other people. My boundaries and limitations were stretched so far that he was just among the faces. And I knew I was too. But you see, I still liked him and his awkwardness. Even though my world was vast, I watched him from the corner of my eye.&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;Three years have passed, and here I am with all my a...</description>

<title>The moment I grew....</title>
<link>http://dutchessq17.multiply.com/journal/item/6/The_moment_I_grew....</link>
<description>    Growing is not an overnight thing... That was a lesson taught to me by the best teacher of them all... You cannot say, &#x22;Hey ya&#x27;ll! I listened to *insert name here* last night and hell I am a changed man!&#x22; It doesn&#x27;t happen like that. You can&#x27;t look at life through rose-colored glasses, it&#x27;s impossible! And if it was even a percent plausible, honey, you need book-thick glasses to filter out all life&#x27;s crap.And as sure as the stars in the sky aren&#x27;t really twinkling, that if you said that you grew but kept the same company your whole life, you are lying. Because in truth, growth happens in different paces.&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;Some people grow in the right crowd. Examples are such as my co-yfcs. Good people, some of them are. Some grow by themselves, treated wrongly by the rest of the world. Just like Einstein, who was a school drop-out and a weirdo. There are also people who grow in bad company. Yes, it&#x27;s possible. But there are also people like me, whose growth process is traumatically twisted.&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;I started...</description>
