Sleepless

It's 2am. I googled the first things that came to mind: you, myself, her. I'm searching for something to lose myself in - a story, a person, a life. Why isn't it working? I need fulfilment; sin eats up all meaning and leaves you hollow inside. God help me.

3. Family (Part 2)

The house was dark when Jared arrived. He fumbled with the keys, trying first one then another on the barely visible lock. When he finally unlocked the gates, its bolt clanged and its hinges creaked loudly as they opened. It was a welcome Jared had always thought echoed the feelings he had about his life, his soul? It grated on the ears and made him clench his fists, but his annoyance towards the gate was not half as great as that towards himself, because he knew he had stood by and let it rust. And so it was a good thing he lived alone, though if he hadn't maybe someone might have oiled the gate.

It's Official - My Blog is like a Diary

I checked out my visitor ratings and for the past few months, I've had a total of....no visitors! What this means is...my blog is officially like a diary! This means I can post up whatever I want, and not worry about the repercussions, because no one will visit. I don't know why I'm happy about this, but I am.

I've made up my mind to start looking up nautical words like frigate and taffrail when I read seafaring adventures, because I've skipped them for far too long! I don't know if you do this too (you probably don't, since you don't exist), but I normally just skim through all the words I don't understand in books like Treasure Island and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. Probably the only nautical words I know are starboard and port, and that's because C.S. Lewis actually explains what they mean in Voyage of the Dawn Treader. And okay, a few others, like harpoon and "Ahoy" and "shiver me timbers!" (well maybe not the last one). I've really got to start looking up those words.

Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum!
