So last year I lived in Florence, Italy and I blogged for my first few months there....today I went back and read those over...it was so interesting...I forgot so much and that helped me remember those important little details...it really does make me want to do this more often...time is against me

It's Friday, April 10th
I'm home in Union
dun dun dun

So I realize...I write, most often, to amuse myself...to serve my own needs

And what I want more than anyone is to be to someone else what other writers are to me
Because I have so many writer friends and we send each other the things we write
like dante and cavalcanti (<-- mah man ooh yea)
and when I'm bored, I just reread the things they send me
I must've read nicole's stories a thousand times, I know them like the back of my hand because I just love to read them over and over
I want to be that to someone
To have someone just want to read about Zooey and Dannny or Davis or Ace or Cari or Mona or Katie or Alicia or Tommy or any of the characters I create over and over again
you know?

That's better than fame

I know that I will never be the next JK Rowling or even Stephanie Myers

That's okay

I just want to do this though

As I'm getting older I'm bogged down with career paths - what should I do? what should I do?

It drives me crazy some days

I'd love to screenwrite

or do a book of short stories

I just need to be doing this, its what makes me happy, its what's made me happy since 6th grade

and I've seen how much I've grown since then and I've met the absolute best people in the world - I'm friends with some people soley because we write and now through LAS and even my Fiction class I'm meeting these amazing people, who I'm honored are even looking at the things I write, let alone enjoying them

and I should go shower lol
me nicole julio and mike (hopefully) are doing the usual friday night insanity
i can't wait

Ciao tutti

Hey guys ....

not that anyone is actually reading this

um...so yeah....

Reason why I got this? There's some wicked people I go to school with who wanted to create a community where we could all post fiction and poetry and stuff that we writers were working on so Nick created http://penandpaperaddicts.blogspot.com/ - apptly named.

So I needed to get one of these to join

Maybe I'll actually start blogging

...

or not lol

but maybe

sure

whatever

anywhooo


Inspiration!!

Kimya Dawson - Fire lyrics::
It seemed like everyone I knew was dying
I looked in the mirror and I was on fire
Somebody yelled out "Hey, stop, drop and roll"
I said, "That might save my skin, but it won't save my soul.
That might save my skin, but it won't save my soul."

You swallow hard and you bottle it up
Try to pretend you're a half full cup
Believe what they're feeding, you're eating it up
While I'm reading books about how they're corrupt
I'm reading books about how they're corrupt

He says he's protecting us but he's a liar
I know deep down that it's down to the wire
My heart will stop if I put out this fire
As long as I'm burning
I'll keep on yearning
To save the world
Not sure how but I'm learning

Since what they call the beginning of man
Blood has been shed for the rape of the land
They called it civilized, I call it crap
Our only hope is to look further back
Our only hope is to look further back

If we really want for this world to survive
We'll just take what we need to survive
It's a mistake to just take and not give
It's not true that we must murder to live
It's not true that we must murder to live

He says he's protecting us but he's a liar
I know deep down that it's down to the wire
My heart will stop if I put out this fire
As long as I'm burning
I'll keep on yearning
To save the world
Not sure how but I'm learning

And telling the truth the best way I'm able
Placing my cards all face up on the table
It's okay to be scared, you don't hafta act tough
Take all that pain and turn it into love
Take all that pain and turn it into love

And let your emotions be fuel to your flames
Being on fire will keep you awake
If someone yells out, "hey! Stop, drop and roll!"
Say, "that might save my skin, but it won't save my soul.
That might save my skin, but it won't save my soul."

~

I'm just a girl
Trying to change the world
That's all you really need to know
<3

Sempre,
Kelly Davis
