Falling Too Hard
November 13, 2010
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?

Oh gosh that's awful! luckily there aren't any cliffs around my house or around anywhere i go riding. is he Derek you friend or family?
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.

haha yeah i expect stuff to pop into my head buuuuut....my head has been aching lately like right now is a pounding pain through my skull! but maybe i should just try to sit and write too! and my internet has been crazy the past few day because techonology hates me which is why my phone isn't working at all!
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 :
