Who is the most caring person you know?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for November 04, 2009:

My Mum. I could never think of anybody else with more care towards me.

And although they may not always be right, that's what Mum's do.

They care. :)

Completely!
It's like a storm entered my soul and mixed everything into something blurred and inseparable.

Who in your life have you underestimated?

Posted on Oct 13th, 2009 by Desafinada : Insanity in a nutshell Desafinada
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for October 13, 2009:

I'm not really someone who estimates much. Too busy perhaps thinking about nothing. It's probably partly just as I always was, and partly perhaps just beaten out of me. But I don't estimate, so I don't underestimate. I just like to do things for the sake of doing them and living for the sake of life itself.

Her Sorrow

Posted on Oct 7th, 2009 by Desafinada : Insanity in a nutshell Desafinada


Blurred behind the curtain rain

Soft behind the window pane
Eyes that hold a cold dismay

Rolling like a drunken yarn
Hollow like an empty barn
Waking up to dream away

The sky may be the brightest blue
The birds may sing what is true
But that doesn't change a thing

Strolling like a broken mop
Sulking like a withered crop
Words put in a broken string

All the laugh and all the play
Still won't make her smile stay
Dimming lights on the stage

A lonely song in a gray drill
A silent wind with a shrill
Stuffed with grief and rage

All her games and toys wait
It seems that it's a little late
Now that she can see no shade
 

Holding her within a shell
Drifting her away as well
Till it wishes to slowly fade

Getting back to writing after some time. It's always easier writing something sad, so I just wrote some lines about a girl's sadness. Hope it's not too awful.

Friday Five of Writing

Posted on Oct 3rd, 2009 by Desafinada : Insanity in a nutshell Desafinada


1) Do like to write?
I so like to write. I think it more for the sake of sanity. :P
But I enjoy it anyways.

2) Have you ever blogged?
I keep putting things here, though it's been quite a while since I posted anything besides the Q & As or a Friday Five.  A little time in-fact, since I've even posted anything, some busing madness I guess. Whatever way, I'm just too moody, so it quite depends on that.

3) What's one of your favorite types of writing to read?
I mostly like reading non-fictional science related books. The only thing I find boring to read are biographies. Besides all that, it's a joy to read an honest piece of writing.

4) Do you like big words or simply learning new words?
I'm not really very fond of big words. Some-days, I just like learning new words, specially quirky ones. And sometime later secretly wonder if I'm the only person on earth who finds a truckload of happiness when she comes across one.

5) Do you keep a personal journal, just for you?
Not really. Sometimes I just ramble-write and save it somewhere. But nothing much like a journal.

What would your dream vacation be like?

Posted on Sep 21st, 2009 by Desafinada : Insanity in a nutshell Desafinada
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for September 21, 2009:

I don't really have any dream anything. And I didn't realize that until this question was there.

I'm kind of half-laughing half -confused.

Goodness! I don't have a dream vacation! And what's worse is that I can't even think of one right now. :S

What do you prefer to "small talk"?

Posted on Sep 19th, 2009 by Desafinada : Insanity in a nutshell Desafinada
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for September 19, 2009:

I think nothing on an extreme is the best option. A balance between them, perhaps is better.

Having said that, I very much dislike being asked, 'how are you?'.Not because it's "small talk" but because it's such a vague question.

I either prefer utter nonsense or to stay in the deep. And it's an inconvenient thing.

I'm not natural with small talk. But I still use it in everyday life because it allows the formation of an initial bond with people to help start a conversation. I'm not saying that people are shallow, but that people would prefer moving from small talk to the greater one than being attacked with the big talk in the first place. I'd put it this way, that perhaps it feels like a natural grace of things.
