The life I walk binds my hands

it makes me take things that I don't understand

I walk this dark world unknowing of what they hold true,

forgetting the me I once knew,

until you.

The life I walk eternally was all I knew

nothing more held me here to this earth

until you.

I feel the pain of every heart I take

I feel the desire to replace all that I have grown to hate

Darkness holds me close but the light still draws my empty soul

The emptiness where I used pain to fill the hole

no longer controls me, no longer calls me

because of you.

Ugh. Cheesy, much? But fine, whatever, I guess that's just her taste. My problem is that take and hate do not rhyme.

He sat back down in the chair beside me and gazed at me with baby blue eyes that were framed in such thick lashes it made it hard not to sigh.

 

Um, what? Why would the bristly hairs sticking out the end of his eyelids make you want to sigh? What is that even . . . ?

I'll tell you what makes me want to sigh - this author's writing. And it's not a good sigh, either.

Sigh.

Page 44? That's all I read?

O.O

This is gonna be tougher than I thought......

I'm back! Hello, friends new and old!! (I don't mean "old" like you're aging, just that I don't know you yet :D) 

So, bad news: in the past year since I've logged in, my ereader and my computer have crashed individually, so I've lost a lot of my notes and stuff and not done much reading recently. I lost over 30 pages of notes on Hero of Ages, so although I'd love to review it (finally), I'll actually have to reread the darned thing to do it justice. Sigh.

Maybe later :)

Anyway, I missed Booklikes and you guys a lot, but I sure hope they've updated and expanded their manga section or else - that's one of the reasons I haven't been around. I've read mostly manga in the past couple of months and can't wait to update.

My first order of business is actually to finish Existence, though - fun, fun, right? My sister's reading Sweet Evil with me at the same time, so at least we can complain together. So let's do this!

Maybe it's not as bad as I remember.
