Theme Thursday - Triangle

The scent of him. It was intoxicating. Suddenly, her senses were more alive than they'd ever been. She felt... aware. Of his every movement, of that hint of a smile in his eyes, of the way he bit his lip when he was thinking. It was almost more than she could take.

Beautiful would be an understatement, she was gorgeous. Her naturally lovely personality shone through and somehow improved her looks all the more. Her hair blazed red in the sunlight, she had lips like fire and eyes like ice. It was enough to make him melt.

Tessa watched the two through narrowed eyes. He was HER man. Hers. Sure, she didn't like him all that much; every little thing he did annoyed her. The way his eyes smiled in merriment while making fun of her, the way he bit his lip when he was thinking. It was almost more than she could take and sometimes she wanted to slap him. But she needed him. He was her safety net. She knew he was always there and though she wasn't happy, he was all she had right now.

Theme Thursday - Camera

It's not real.
Everyone posing for the happy cheesy smiling group photo.

In reality...

Mum says "Smile" and smiles through gritted teeth while elbowing you.
You don't actually like all the people in this photo... in fact, this certain one always pisses you off...
Why should you smile for your school photo? You aren't happy, you're at school!!

But then, those candid shots...

the couple smiling cheesily at one another, caught off guard
The two friends laughing together, having no idea a photo was taken
The cousins playing a game of tag in the backyard, running around, smiling all the time

Be real.
I am so sick of people who are fucking fake.

Theme Thursday - Candy

Candy memories

I used to love jersey caramels and i remember when i was litte, i'd always go down to the dairy on saturday (pocket money day!!!) and buy as many jersey caramels as i could, and eat them til i felt sick :) those were the good days :P

My cousin's favourite candy used to be chocolate fish. He lived in England and always when he came over, he'd want tons and tons of chocolate fish. Unfortunately he is a strict vegetarian... i remember the day he was informed that chocolate fish contained geltin (substance made from calves hooves)... He cried that day and has never eaten another since.

Those sour lollies that make your tongue blue. Those always were, and still are, awesome.

Zombie chews!! my intermediate school canteen sold them and they were soo good! unfortunately, I have never liked really sour lollies, and they were very sour. So i'd eat mine tiny bit by tiny bit and it used to take me a full week to eat a whole one!!

Watching the charlie the unicorn video with my older cousin right before going to Australia for a holiday, and the whole way saying "Candy Mountain, Charlie! Candy Mountain, Charlie!!!" to my brother because we decided he was grumpy like Charlie... we quoted lines from it all the way there... I remember us saying "Shun the non believer! shunnnnnn...." to my grandmother's new boyfriend and he thought we didn't like him after we said that cos he had no idea what we were on about :(

Those lollies that looked like cigarettes... man you were cool back in the day if you had them! you could pretend you smoked, it was awesome!

Im feeling rather nostalgic now!!

Happy theme thursday :)
(even if it is friday...)

Theme Thursday - White

The moon was nearly full and casting a shadow across his pale face as he strode towards her. "This is for you," he said gruffly as he shoved a box into her hands. He walked away, didn't look back.
She sank down on the ground where she was, in the middle of the road and opened the box. Inside were the ticket stubs from the movie they went to see on their first date. Inside was the corsage he'd bought her for prom which she'd left in her room and it had disappeared two days later. Inside was a love letter she wrote him years ago. Inside was a list of her likes and dislikes - food, colours, places to eat. Inside was his wedding ring. Inside was her heart, and his.
She sat there and wept. Cried for all the pain, for all the happiness, for all the lost time, for all the things she hadn't yet told him. She cried for the loss of what couldve been.
She looked up to see if he'd gone but all she saw was a blinding whiteness directly in front of her. She didn't have time to scream, and felt no pain as she drifted away. And as she drifted away, she looked down at the box that held memories of their life together, and she looked down at him.
"I still love you" she whispered into the nothingness.
