(Terry's Diary)
In less than 2 months I have had over 5000 views and over 300 subscribers!
I can’t believe it!
Thank you all so much for your support, kind words, and inspiration.
I don’t have enough words to express how much you all mean to me.
It’s like we’re one big family (aww). Ha!

I figured since this is my hundredth post already, what a better way to say thanks!
————-

———–
Let’s keep this alive!
I know I haven’t been posting lately. Please, please, forgive me!
It’s a busy semester! That’s for sure.
So, to make sure that I keep writing even when I have classes and all I challenged myself to write for 15 minutes.
And what happens, happens.
This is what I wrote…I don’t think the ending is the best..but oh well!

I’m in love with a dying man,
Whose age is unknown
And has a heart of stone.
—–
Black char in his lungs,
That’s just from all the fun
And games.
——-
His eyes are glossy
From all the cocaine
And pounding pavement.
—–
He has clenched fists,
Trying to find something
That doesn’t exist.
——-
The sun is calling his name
From state to state
And he can’t hear it.
——
Can’t hear it
Because his ears silence
All the truths of old.
——
So he minds his own
And take a sip of coffee
With a hit of cocaine to stop the pain.
——-
The rage of knowing
He is more than what he has made
Of his wandering life.
——
His dreams are down
The drain of his white porcelain kitchen sink
That has whiskey stains.
——
Whiskey,
That’s only for those nights
When the burn is needed in his heart.
——-
Just to remind him
That he is still alive
And breathing in this hellhole called life.
——-
If only he could be everything,
Everything someone wanted
And more to get back the real glow in his eyes.
——–
He doesn’t want those girls who sell their souls
For one good high
And leave before the sun has even arrived.
——-
Something real
That even he can’t forget,
When he takes a sip of his coffee.
———
It might look bad
That he can’t remember the last time
He was sober and saw the sunshine.
———
So, instead of taking a hit
Of cocaine, he smokes a piece of paper
That she wrote a year ago to the day.
——-
A piece of notebook paper
In the same coffee shop
That he sips his coffee and takes hits of cocaine.
———
He lights it on fire
And breathes it in.
Inhaling the fumes of the written word.
——
It reads,
“My love, you are my life
And love is what I have for you.
Breathe me in
——-
Like I’m your caffeine and cocaine fix
And I hope you won’t forget…
That you are…..
——
And you won’t forget….
——
That you are…..
——–
Somebody’s somebody.”

What I've been listening to all day
Bring it on 2012!
Just some of the songs I was listening too!

Thanks again Stronghold for the nomination of this award. You just love to spoil me don’t you?
It means a great deal! I can’t express it in words how much it means to me and how great and wonderful of a person you are.

Rules of the Award:
1. Share ten things no one knows about yourself.
2. Pass it to six other bloggers.

Jeesh, 10 things that no one knows about me. Talk about a challenge! But, I am up for it. I have no idea how well I will complete it, but oh well!
10 Things:
1. I procrastinate a lot. I know I shouldn’t but I do. Sometimes with studying. That can bite me in the long run but when there are so many other things that are entertaining..like reading a “fun” book…it wins every time.
2. I’m an animal lover (for the most part). Insects and all that not so much. But dogs, cats, birds, those types of animals, make me happy. It helps when my roommate has horses too!
3. I miss the good ‘ol cartoons like ‘Hey Arnold’, ‘Rugrats’, ‘Recess’. Today’s, well, I’ll pass thank you very much. Nick at Nite!
I’m a kid at heart even if I don’t let everyone see it.
4. I have every Elvis movie…and many, many of his CD’s. Can’t go wrong with Elvis.
5. I am attracted to people who have gone through hard times. It’s like I’m magnetized to them and I don’t even realize it.
6. I love The Sims!
7. Ikea is my friend! I wish I could buy more things from there. I guess I will just have to wait.
8. I love taking random road trips or day trips.
9. Sometimes I feel I was born in the wrong era.
10. I was born 4 months early and weighed 1 pound 10 ounces.

I found out that my dear friend Stronghold has nominated me for the 7×7 award!

I am greatly honored, especially having this award come from her. She is very talented to say the least. Plus, Stronghold always puts a random smile on my face when she stops by!

The Rules once you have been given this award are simple and yet make you think, not a bad thing always.
The rules are:

3. Link to seven of your entries: Most Beautiful Piece, Most Helpful, Most Popular, Most Controversial, Most Surprisingly Successful, Most Underrated, and Most Pride Worthy (again this may be challenging).
Then,
4. Nominate seven other bloggers and notify them.

Something no one else knows about me. Hmm.. this is a hard one since for the most part I am pretty open about myself.
I would have to say that I know a lot of random useless information, like dates of random stuff that will never be useful unless playing Trivial Pursuit. I can remember things when I want to but if I don’t, well that’s a whole other story. Haha. So for the random stuff I do like I remember. For instance, “Where did Elvis first perform?” to “What was the date and time that the Titanic set sail and later on sink?”…I’m your girl. Haha.
