You say the word
you know I will find you
Or if you need some time
I don't mind
I don't hold on
to the tail of your kite
I'm not like the girls that you've known
But i believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with Butterflies
- Tori Amos

how can i match up to someone he's been with for 10 fucking years.....

Norwegian Wood

Just finished Haruki Murakami's bestseller lastnight. loved it.
his style of storytelling, at least for this particular book, is reminiscent of the catcher in the rye to me. as was the protagonist, Toru Watanabe; sort of like a less dark version of Holden Caulfield, but just as brooding nonetheless.
Murakami is now officially one of my favourite contemporary writers, well as far as love stories go, i suppose. South of the Border, West of the Sun was the book i read first. the story was simple, but it was his style of writing, and the development of his characters that pulled me. it was a short novel, so i was hungry for more. naturally i chose to read Norwegian Wood, with it being the novel that shot Murakami to international fame. this is another love story, albeit a more complex, moving tale. i cannot decide whether to laugh or cry with every new development in the story, the way Murakami made each of his characters to be not without emotional unrest, it was all very engagingly touching.
The Wind up Bird Chronicles will be my next foray into the uniquely bewitching world of Haruki Murakami.

you bring me to the shore
sighs, moans, proverbial?
familiarity unsettling
yet I allow the sand to warm these toes,
the sun to caress this skin.
is there a need to shield my eyes from the glare of your brilliance?
the pisces of my nature, may cause our demise
or will I let the daisies bloom,
allow the sweetness of loving
invade this wall surrounding.
your kind eyes,
your knowing touch,
changes me
moves me
stirs something within
that has been in a long restless slumber.
into the winter of my soul
your gentle voice penetrates.
hold on to me
let not the merest sigh escape
let us stay alive
in this transcendental experience eternal....

But good job keep it up^_^

What type of kisser are you?(pics)[[for guys and girls]]

Your personality is that of a true day-dreamer.
Somehow, you're not too satisfied with reality,
and so you take it upon yourself to find it in
your dreams. You're honest, a bit random, and
are a great friend. You can sometimes, well a
lot of the time have mood swings, which confuse
the people close to you, but that's okay. As
long as you have great friends, a great
personality, and a great outlook on life,
you'll be fine. You've got people around you
who are willing to keep you up when you fall
down, which you have many times. You have great
talents as a writer, especially when you write
fantasy. You are the dreamer, the sarcastic
one, and the one with great come-backs. Keep on
dreaming, and you're sure to have an extreme,
life-it-to-the-fullest, Grade-A life!
