Deviation Actions
You stand there, bruised and humiliated, yet you are proud and radiate a defiant dignity.
Words laced with silver shrewdness that are a product only of you, Miss Manipulation;
These venomous syllables are the children of your barbed wire tongue, an illegal weapon that has yet to be restrained by the national government.
Your are that voice in the back of my head, whispering snarky retorts when I'm at war; giving me the words I need to wound my opponent.
Your are the Gothic Cinderella who shattered her slippers and traded them in for a pair of steel-toed combat boots.
You are the Princess of Persuasion.
You are Madam Saggy Jeans with her black bandana and her white sweat-stained tee.
You are the wish I'd never wish for, but the path I'd always travel.
You came into the ring like a rabid dog on a chain; a ravenous Pit bull Terrier, yet a thousand times scarier.
You are the junkyard junkie jeering judgment at the plastic wannabe witches.
You are the stubborn, nonchalant nonpartisan tormenting the backstabber barbies.
You are the smart-alec angel with nicotine-scented wings and a crimson revolution banner, heaving your parables upon the ignorant.
You are the crooked-smiled con selling faith in a bottle to the broke and hopeless.
The essence of revolution.
And I watch you stand there, bloody and broken, spitting swears through your teeth.
You are the shriek for rebellion.
You are the MayDay Martyr.
Viva La Vida forever
COLLEGE LITERARY MAGAZINE SEEKING SUBMISSIONS
HELLO all, it's been a while but I have wonderful news!
This year I am working on a team of editors for Oakland University's literary magazine, The Oakland Arts Review (OAR).
Unlike other college journals, OAR seeks to accept submissions from students attending other universities, from across the globe. We pride ourselves on being one of the few college magazines that do this!
At present, OAR magazine is eager to receive submissions for its fourth edition.
Submissions may consist of poetry, fiction, creative/nonfiction, comics, and visual art!
Submitters MUST be enrolled as undergraduates at the time of their subm
Hey guys
Hey all, just thought I'd pop in to remind everyone I'm not dead or permanently inactive, just quite busy this summer. Just some reminders that:
A. I have not forgotten about the book, I'm actually working quite hard on it, there've just been some design issues and lots of editing and revising that's keeping me plenty preoccupied. But I promise, it is coming.
B. I will return with more regular activity once the fall rolls around (I hope ><). Summer has been hectic and consistency has been a difficult thing to uphold.
C. I love all of you and to everyone who's still watching me after months of inactivity, I appreciate you;; I make s
*searches for survivors in my wreck of a profile*
Well yeah here I am! I'm going to immediately start with the obvious and say I've been making transitions into a new stage in my life, and as a result of this I am not as active as I used to be on this site. Before you panic, no, that doesn't mean I'm going to keep my page dead and empty like it has been for months, and I'm not quitting or any of that nonsense!
I actually think this new transition has been good for me, even if in some ways I still don't recognize how.
Anyway, on with the monster update!
Survived (using that word as heavy-handedly as I can) my first year of college. I discovered towards the end that psychology isn't quite w
yup yup yup Looooong 'Update'
Wow, haven't done an update in more than a year. Geez.
Anyhow, I suddenly got the urge to divulge the latest happenings in my life, so...yeeeah!
So, I'm finally a freshman in college, and it's going alright. Albeit this semester is insanely harder than my previous one. But I do think it's still manageable all the same, just longer study hours and more discipline is involved.
I finally figured out I can't live without english in my life, but at the same time, I sincerely want to see where I'll go if i pursue a career as a clinical psychologist. So I declared a double major.
I have to say, it feels really good to not have to make that ch

That was amazing, you truly have a way with words. Your descriptions of this woman were so vivid and haunting, and the twists on things like princesses, and so on were surprising and unique. Also the final line "long live the life," if my French is correct, was great. The whole piece really seemed to resonate with me, bravo!
