It seemed silly, but she was nervous. It was not her first Valentine's Day with a serious boyfriend, but it was her first with a white boyfriend. She had never dated such a man before, her parents had very firmly taught her that such things were more trouble than they were worth. It had been a whim seven months ago that had m... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Angels: 14 of 263
Your slender soul a silhouetteIn the rhythm of this mirageThe essence of an abysmal angelSeeking forgiveness in innocenceWith the blessing of duskBlooms celestial compassionThe harmony of phantom stars your hopeTheir symphony of tenderness all that's left to youYour lie a maggot to eat your soulEagerly blatant in it's destruc...

From the Isles to the Island(I wrote this for a history class in high school, my teacher loved it.)Never had she seen her mother cry so many tears, never had she been hugged so tightly. Erin O'leary hugged her mother back almost as tightly, but no child could ever show the same affection a parent could. She stood back as her ... More..
Relationships & Family > Domestic Violence & Abuse How to prevent and deal with domestic violence: 2 of 22
How do you prevent domestic violence? I can only think of one sure way in my opinion to do that; do not let it start to begin with. Some people might not be strong willed enough to keep it from beginning, but then a lot of people can surprise us. If you never want to be the victim of domestic violence, then you cannot let it ...

Take plants, plants do not thi... More..

Slam the lid on your hope chestHis heart isn't there anymoreCut the ties of every ribbonThat held a packaged present given in loveStomp on the flameThat makes your heart yearnFold shut the cardboard boxAnd give back all the things he left in your roomForget his number from your headSo you can never rememberDelete his e-mail a...

Religion & Spirituality > Wicca & Witchcraft How to use a Ouija board: 1 of 6
First and foremost, if you are going to use a Quija board, then you need to know what you are getting into. A Quija board is not a toy. I, personally, do not think it should be used for fun or for entertainment. You must bare in mind that in using a Quija board, that you are drawing someone from beyond the grave to come and h...

Hobbies & Games > Board Games Board game reviews: Game of Life: 1 of 6
I, without contest, enjoy the original version of the Game of Life. It just had so much more to it. The newer version of this board game has an electronic device that keeps track of everything. All you really have to do is move your piece around the board. And I find that to be absolutely boring. There is no game anymore. We ... More..

What makes a scary movie scary? Well, there are two things that affect the answer to this question.The first thing is that every person's opinion on what is 'scary' is different.
