Why I Don't Say ItThe steps beneath us hurt.  They're made of cherry wood; your dad was so proud to finish them last year.  He bought a boat just to reward the job well done.  Dad wasn't rating them for comfort.   
We sit here anyway.  I told you I quit smoking but, well, tonight that's not entirely true.  The haze of old cigarettes hangs in a flat cloud near the top of the garage, like the past attempting to eavesdrop on us.  Learn a few lessons.  Find out where it went wrong.   
Whatever noise had been floating around us, ripping apart the quiet we tried to find, it's d Why I Don't Say It

TitanBorn of wind and fire  The mountains shake at your song  And down you look, willing the mortals along  A gaze I ache for  The voice of my blood  Something higher than  The bits of broken dreams  I bury every day beneath the sand  Kneeling before your face, your flame  Placing my kiss as a prayer  Upon your bronzed cheek  I watch my swirling words rise  Hoping the summer's rime  Will carry it to your heart   
Lift higher into the World  I am the morning star  Supposed bringer of Light  To tell the truth; Submit  Dazzling eyes left baited breath   Titan

The Devil Went DownHe whispered with pleading malice  And pinched at the nerve of insanity  Licking away her cares with  Sweet nothings and indiscretion  With a smile full of nails  He promised everything would end  The loneliness and heartsick wanderings  Of a cold, forgotten womb  He bathed her in blades  Softer than the child’s cheek  Justified blood dripping over her eyes  He said  It is the right of the animal to devour her young  However she sees fit  Humans are no better  They are suppressed by love and hope  And dreams and hate  These lofty killers of instinct &nbs The Devil Went Down

Raw WisdomFeeling low, I asked, define for me great beauty?  I have no competition for the muses  Lo, I feel as a sow next to the lioness   
He said, beauty is never as it seems, dear  I begged him, elaborate, for I do not know  How they could be seen as anything but perfect   
He said, have you ever watched pornography?  A dame may grace the screen with beauty, until  From her mouth comes the sound of a dying cow Raw Wisdom

He Holds The HorizonStanding before the darkness  As night falls rich and slow  Another star-filled sky greets  Those few who wandered through the dream  And the dust and the sun  Now, only aching for respite  They find instead an ancient behemoth  Of wood and stone and black  Fearlessly facing the east as  The dying light bleeds behind it  No man knew how long it had stood  Waiting, watching inviting with  Silent breath  An uncaring observer who stands to serve  But surely any man can feel the pressure  The energy pulsing from this mountain  Among molehills  As they crane their He Holds The Horizon

Welcome to the cute as shit journal of one Megan Kennedy, better known as FallenIdle.

The News is as follows....

Winter Holiday Literature Contest!

My dear friend =Scarlettletters is hosting a contest for this upcoming snowy season, and you get your choice of themes! Revolutionary, right? Well get the hell on over to his journal and check it out! The contest is officially OPEN!





NaNoWriMo

Hooray, NaNoWriMo is here again!! Even if I fail, I love this month. And to be honest with you, I didn't sign up this year because I felt it was unfair... I'm already very far into my novel (like, almost 60,000 words with the end nowhere in sight), and I've no interest in starting a new project just for this month. And the general consensus seems to be it can't be 50,000 words added on to an existing project. So I will be participating unofficially, but with all my heart, and eventually insane mind, as all us writers are just a bit crazy by the end of November. If you need help, support, or someone to talk to whilst you are getting those words out, feel free to hit me up! This novel I'm working on now is about my 9th or 10th so I've some experience and am totally willing to assist where I can, especially to newbies who haven't run this gauntlet yet. ;D

This Is Halloween?

Sigh. I knew it was going to be a bad Halloween the second I pulled the decorations out of the box. Everyone's fine- no worries. I was Sally, Kris was Jack Skellington and we dressed Vinnie (my dog) up as a bat... because he loves hanging upside down lol. That was good fun and I did pretty awesome on the costume. But yeah. Ugh. Thanks Universe.


Job Hunt

So I've gotta find a new job, and that always sucks, especially with this market. I love working at my photo lab (for the most part) but I'm not making enough. We're barely getting by. It's gonna be a slim Christmas. Anyone got any info on markets/companies that are hiring full time? Cause, also- no way I'm going back to school on this salary, either.





PS: I like XBox.

Writing is a drug for me. I don't know who I am, what I feel, what I'll learn or where in the hell I am until I create pretend people on a sheet of paper to interpret the ancient lessons being sent to me all day, every day....every hour, every minute. Every second. There is no other way to silence them, or to understand what they're screaming at me. Like an alcoholic unable to function without that first drink of the day, there is nothing I can do without the pen in my hand. It is the breath sustaining me, as fickle a mistress as one can be given. She pushes me to the brink with every stroke.

...but she always brings me back.
