Galatean
A beauty may be formed
and placed within a shrine,
but raised above a human touch
she never will be thine.
An image does not yield
to love's tender embrace.
Paint and metal, stone and glass
of emotion have no trace.
Thou may well love a maiden
with silver skin and hair of gold
but gemstone eyes are hollow
and her lips they will be cold.
A face that glows like the full moon
will hang beyond your reach
and ears that curve like graceful shells
cannot hear your love's beseech.
Thou may marvel at flesh
of purest alabaster,
but for such a pearl a flaw
glares as a great disaster.
Just as you cannot play with
a fragile
Stylish Identity
Fuck fashion!
The bonnie baby dressed in blue
is not a boy.
So small, so small, this handmade doll;
a tenacious, clinging joy.
Growing up in girly clothes
too wild for their upkeep!
tumbling, tearing, climbing, falling
an upward climb in leaps.
Fabrics tightens, tougher grows
princess to practical
dresses and skirts to leggings and jeans,
under-worn by sleep and school.
I grow, I change, developing
I learn to understand;
seeking to find differences
in people, time and land.
Tribal, country, ancient nature,
free love and hate of strife;
hippie's hols in a camperva

By the secret light
of Yin's full moon
the pomegranate seed releases.
This garnet jewel, alone of innate worth, follows the twinned river
to the cavernous heart-mouth.
The flower goes unpollinated.
Every woman bleeds in her virginity.
As Nidah, I am mahrime.
Unclean,
impure,
repellant in my cycle of cleansing.
Men fear the whispered curse.
This red pollution of life-blood,

Holy hell, nearly a year since I've Journalled!
Well people, I survived the University application process and got ABBD in my A-Levels, which got me into Nottingham Trent University fine, on the Wildlife Conservation Bsc course. Yay! >^_^<
Now just to survive Fresher's week, considering that all the sport stuff is miles away at another campus and that my accomodation-mates, whilst very nice, all seem to be alchoholics... :/ Ah well.
I have familiarised myself with Facebook and am once again eagerly anticipating the London MCM Expo, this year to be my 19th birthday event. Double the fun! Pirate England from Hetalia (my new fave anime) cosp
Well, Happy Belated New Year, All...

Got and then got rid of a turtle (don't worry, (s)he went to a good
home with reptile specialists). We would've kept her/him, but that would've been impossible due to the following factors:
* We were told that (s)he was: A male Chinese Soft-Shelled turtle who was about fully-grown (at a
I've ended up with a pet turtle. As you do...
Yeah.
Seriously.
NOT kidding.
Basically, we had an empty fishtank (after the whole moon-moth thing) and we reckoned on getting some lizards, like baby bearded dragons. So we went up to a pet-and-garden centre to get some info on keeping them, but went to have a look at fish first (my brother likes them). Anyway, Mum found this Chinese Soft-Shelled turtle throwing himself around trying to get out of this really small, boring tank with NOTHING else in it. We asked the guy working if it was okay - his response was "yeah, he's keeping himself occupied". My ass he was...
Anyhow, we said we had a b
