    [fancypost borderwidth=0pt; width: 450px;][align=center]you know that feeling when you step into hell? yeah, funny question to ask because i seriously doubt anyone ever stepped into hell because it doesn't really exist, neither does heaven and all that but that's a different discussion but what i'm talking about is when you walk into somewhere that's really fucking horrid. flames and all that shit could very well be engulfing the area and you just have that feeling like; 'what am i doing here?' but you are there. so suck it up. yeah, really? great advice vi...great advice to yourself because currently you're not handling this 'clan problem' very well but you'll get over it. i mean, it can't be as horrendous as you're imagining it's going to be, right?


    you see, i'm joining a clan. well not joining but rather living with skyclan for at least five days to finally understand why clan life sinks it's ugly talons into it's prey, a.k.a us loners, before dragging us in with the killing bite that makes us mindless drones that will follow any order. what decent cat can give up his, or her, freedom to just a few distinguished fellows? everyone is equal, we did just fine in the past living in solace but when this whole 'clan idea' came into play it must've been all the craze back then just like it is now. it's like we lost who we were somewhere along the way, and let's just say i'm not going to be groveling at their leader's feet or...never mind. i suppose if i want the whole fucking 'clan experience' then i'll need to act like everyone else. just saying those words makes me want to puke.


    it's because it's easier. that's what i'm guessing; all those pathetic ones found out that leaving loner life behind for a more crowded and less private one meant you rarely went to bed hungry or you never had to fight off a bitter chill or sleep underneath the stars. well, if they can't handle it then i guess they should just roll over and succumb to orders and the rules. i just find it insane, like who in their right mind would just willingly through everything that made them who they were...away? like it never really mattered? i guess i'll never understand it, i can just get a sense for what they feel like. maybe i can interview some skyclanners that used to be loners, get their input. ha! i can already imagine what they'll say; 'i needed shelter! i wanted warmth! i knew that it'd be easier!'
    revolting.


    i guess you could say when i found out sober was apart of a clan it kinda struck a nerve and at the time of meeting her once again i felt a little envious but of course that's gone now. i was just jealous that it appeared she was happy and i'm not but that was stupid...not her fault. jesus, if i was talking to a real animal right now then i'd tell them how they should've saw her. as cubs, back at the zoo, i sort of had a crush on her. i realize how ridiculous that is now and i've scolded my past self multiple times while primarily cussing it my naive ways because now it's clear how foolish i was. a snow leopard and a cheetah? right...that would've defiantly happened. besides, even if she had stayed then she'd be paired off with some other cheetah, no wait...scratch that. she'd probably have cubs of her own right now because of that bastard jaka. if i ever see that son of a bitch again then i will personally slit his throat before...no wait. i'd let sober kill him. she deserves that much and so much more. he deserves to rot in his own grave, buried alive, for many many months.


    we were discussing sober? i met her again for the first time in a few moons and once again i was blown away at how beautiful she is and what a fine lady she's grown into. i felt like the ugly duckling next to the elegant swan but the again elegance isn't exactly sob's style, now is it? she's changed,, morphed into a much happier feline then what she was back at the zoo and that's when i started to feel a tad jealous of her situation. i guess i felt a tiny bit of hurt too because i never could've given her what she wanted back at the zoo, i never was enough to make her stay but then it comes across my asshole mind that she was being raped at the zoo, so there was that. of course i wasn't a good enough reason to stay, not to mention her father and his anger issues. she deserves to be happy...she deserves someone who is actually able to be with her properly. i would say i'd be surprised if she didn't have a mate right now and then i think about how she wouldn't even let any male come near her. not even me, her best friend. not after the incident, she'd claw and spit at me through the bars and shout at me to go away and it took months for her to finally tell me what had happened. if a tom were to come even a few yards away from her then she'd instantly go into hysteria but it appears as if she's over that. she had no problem bounding right over to me.


    well to sum it up, i don't believe i'm in love with her. maybe a part of me still has certain feelings towards her but that's the piece that's younger and more of a memory rather than the present. maybe it's even a brother and sister thing now but what i know is it'll always stay that way...hmm. enough abut all this love stuff though...


    i'm done writing today, goodnight journal.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0pt; width: 450px;][align=center]i am socially awkward. at least i'm not in denial about it like some people and i can proudly stand in front of a crowd and admit it without losing a single shred of dignity. it's not exactly that i hate people, although that plays a minor role in it, it's just that i don't know what to say half the time. more often than not they're just blathering about something i don't care about and then look at me expectantly as if they thought i had truly been following their one sided conversation and even wanted me to comment on it. it's that or they ask me a meaningless or stupid question to which i don't really know how to reply to and occasionally there's those people that think it's cute when i search for the right words because honestly i really am trying to form a decent chunk of vocals rather. they think it's cute. it's not cute, i just don't know how to respond to such a dumb question.


    they tend to get too personal for my liking; we'll be chatting about the weather and then the example person will just come out of the blue and ask about my history as if we're discussing what i ate for lunch. then when i don't respond or say i don't want to talk about it they get all sentimental or emotional and either continue to prod me about it or fall into a silence. i like the silence option.
    being socially awkward i'm not a huge fan of being in the spotlight, the center of attention, yet sometimes somebody feels the urge to drag me into odd situations and act like it's hilarious. which i admit, sometimes it is, but really? dancing in front of strangers? i'll pass.


    don't get me wrong, sometimes i love people, very rarely but when it happens i guess it's like a double rainbow because mouths seem to drop open if i ever do or say anything 'out of character.' sometimes i'm all for whatever's happening or the conversation and can actually interact with normal beings but other times i wonder if our world will one day explode with all this idiocy. then of course if i point this out then i'm immediately rebuked and questioned with hurt feelings, but i just asked why your question was so stupid. shouldn't you nod, admit it was, and then work on asking smarter questions? yes? maybe? please do. it's not that i want to hurt anyone's feelings, it's just that i can't contain making my remarks, they just kinda spill out when they come to my mind.


    i really don't get the world i live in sometimes. or how our species, cats that is, have survived this long and then i comfort myself by remembering there are others out there. others like me that base things factually or have in depth conversations between one another.


    rereading this i kind of sound like an ass.


    couldn't sleep, so once again. goodnight journal.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0pt; width: 450px;][align=center]i am horrid at showing emotions. it's true, i don't understand those people that just spill out their feelings on their face and broadcast everything they feel for every single situation. i tend to just keep a blank slate. if you show emotions then that's giving everyone an upper hand over you; if you're sad then one might try to manipulate you once they noticed it. if you're angry then one might try to provoke you into doing something you'll regret. it's common sense, keep it to yourself. emotions give away everything and you wouldn't spill your darkest secret out using words, so why express it?


    is this just so hard people?

    you've been my friend for quite a while


    anger
    you've been around for quite some time


    i can't escape from it
    love babe, it eats me up alive
    we're loveable, but still we're terrified


    i can't escape from it
    my heart is infected
    i gotta protect it
    don't you dare try to break it
    i'm gone


    my body is fragile
    so please let me rest now
    don't you dare try to stop me
    i'm gone


    living
    for a dream so far away
    trying
    to cover up for what we are


    we can't escape from it
    we have to fight for it


    my heart is infected
    i gotta protect it
    don't you dare try to break it
    i'm gone


    my body is fragile
    so please let me rest now
    don't you dare try to stop me
    i'm gone


    its a shame that we start lying
    it´s a shame that we´re denying
    my heart is infected
    i gotta protect it
    don´t you dare try to break it
    i'm gone


    my body is fragile
    so please let me rest now
    son´t you dare try to stop me
    i'm gone


    my heart is infected
    i gotta protect it
    don´t you dare try to break it
    i'm gone


    my body is fragile
    so please let me rest now
    don´t you dare try to stop me
    i'm gone

    [fancypost borderwidth=0pt; width: 450px;][align=center]why does everyone act so dramatic or get defensive like when...never mind. i think i'd like to talk about something other than the public. one day i might wake up and realize the problem is me but today is not that day.


    my favorite flower is the kurinji flower. it blooms once every twelve years, and that's what i like most about it. it's like; fuck you world. i'll bloom when i'm ready and after they bloom that's it; they only bloom once. i've been instructed to tap into a more sensitive side of me and a suggestion was to talk about something i would never talk about with anyone else, so. favorite flower. sensitive and will always remain in my jail edge and no one else's.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0pt; width: 450px;][align=center]i have a power, but it's completely useless. in fact, i kind of hate it to be honest. everyone suspects me to use it but what they don't understand if that if i do then the wounds are transferred to me, as well as the pain and more often than not it's for someone i don't even know.


    yes, if you've got half a brain then you'd be able to piece together that i can take away someone's pain. out of all the powers, i got the one that involves contact with others. very painful contact, physically rather than mentally.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0pt; width: 450px;][align=center]i hate how manipulative she is, without even noticing it or doing it on purpose. doesn't she notice how every time she gets close to a different male, i tense up? maybe she doesn't, she's too nice to see any flaws in someone so i guess that's why she befriended me. i haven't changed but i fear she had and one day she's going to wake up and realize what an ass i am before leaving me behind for her new clan friends.


    what i wrote before was bullshit. it's not a brother and sister relationship but more of a one sided romance with an unbeknownst cheetah and a hlovesick leopard caught between wanting to spill his guts out and knowing that he cannot. she doesn't love me, it's obvious. in fact, maybe it's impossible for sober to truly love a man after what happened. i doubt she wouldn't pull the species difference card but i on the other hand find it to be an issue as well as i feel like i'm a walking wreck chalk full of horrid memories that bring up her past every time she sees me. i don't want her to look at me and only see the zoo from what we came from...i want her to see [i]me. but i get the feeling she never will.


    i feel like i've been tossed over for something better, which in reality i have. she talks about all these different friends she's made, dead and alive, all the events she's been apart if, the battles. it just seems like a never ending cycle though; make friends, friends die, battle, make new friends, event, battle. i do feel like i'm missing out in something that loner life can't offer; people. and i hate people. but the way she talks about everyone, as if they're fucking saints that should be bowed down to, makes me think about what i'm missing.


    if i were to stay, i'm not this is purely metaphorical, then she'd be the only reason why. even if we'll never be anything but friends, friends that might dissolve into nothing but a familiar face and a simple hello once she fully takes on my personality. she'll be kind to me but she won't exactly stand for who i am, hell she'll probably even try and 'help me' with my issues. it won't work though, i'll have to turn away.


    it's infuriating that i feel like a fucking schoolboy chasing after a girl who's out of his league.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0pt; width: 450px;][align=center]young and full of running
    tell me where is that taking me?
    just a great figure eight
    or a tiny infinity?


    love is really nothing
    but a dream that keeps waking me
    for all of my trying
    we still end up dying
    how can it be?


    don't say a word
    just come over and lie here with me
    'cause i'm just about to set fire to everything i see


    i want you so bad i'll go back on the things i believe
    there I just said it
    i'm scared you'll forget about me


    so young and full of running
    all the way to the edge of desire
    steady my breathing
    silently screaming
    i have to have you now


    wired and i'm tired
    think i'll sleep in my clothes on the floor
    or maybe this mattress will spin on its axis
    and find me on yours


    don't say a word
    just come over and lie here with me
    cause i'm just about to set fire to everything i see


    i want you so bad i'll go back on the things i believe
    there I just said it
    i'm scared you'll forget about me

    [fancypost borderwidth=0pt; width: 450px;][align=center]i hate the beach. everyone ogles over it and says how beautiful the sea is but the ocean is just a salty large expanse of water full of marine life but mostly fish and i don't even like fish. the sand is usually too hot and it's never the right temperature there because it's always too hot or too cold, and when it's windy the sand is blowing in your face and above that there's nothing to so but swim.


    seriously. a lake is more fun then the ocean but everyone loves pretty things and the beach is apparently beautiful. i don't know why; maybe it's because of the sunsets but let's face it, those aren't really rarities.


    my favorite spot? i like the mountains. i like when it starts to snow and the amount if snow causes everything tis life downwards, not an avalanche, but things start to gradually scoot downhill including the powdery snow. i like when it's below freezing instead of it being extremely hot and humi, enough to make you tired and sweaty. so i guess you could say my favorite season is winter.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0pt; width: 450px;][align=center]that punk ass needs to shut his oversized trap. i may be jealous of his damn 'charming skills' and the way that everyone seems to like him but what's so annoying about this 'maskedpaw' thinks he can just swoop in and take him in his arms and all that crap. really? no. not going to happen buddy, not if i'm still breathing. then of course there's all the other guys she seems to spend her time with and that irks me. it's like i've been replaced and maybe one of them will go as far as to replace and then go over that. as in have her fall in love with them.


    some specific ones would be; riverheart, she seems to talk about him a lot but she did mention a women that was supposedly his. good. it is likely they are just friends. i've heard about hexagon once or twice but same with him. she has several other male friends but it is hard to pick out the potential thieves from the group but i'm getting especially curious about this habitmirth.


    she seems to spend time with him as well and yet she's never mentioned him before. never picked him out of a crowd and chatted about how good friends they were. hmmph. this may sound like i am a total dick but he's a cripple. i'm staring a fact that his leg is indeed missing and therefore he'd never be able to properly take care of her. never be able to defend her or any of that. so it is still a pleasant thought to know they will most likely remain just friends.
