Oh how the time flies, does it not?

Or maybe it's due to the fact I feel less than inspired to write,

both here and in my novel.

My almost finished, so close but yet so far written sentiment.

To put it simply, I find it better to put my thoughts to words

after reading a thoughtful musing, or maybe coming across

a photo that speaks so much by using only so little.

There's an art to it, a skill, perhaps

by communicating using different means other than words.

However, not all have mastered this useful skill

and some of us are left to express ourselves in a way which we only know best.

I digress.

To be honest, I don't really have much to say.

Not a topic to talk about, nor a lovely (in my opinion) story to share to you.

I just had an itch in my fingers that had to be relieved.

An itch to run them across the keyboard like I would on the piano.

Ah, the piano, how I wish I had the patience to master the works of the fine composers,

of whom, please rest in peace.

A recording of the time so far:

I've read a delightful novel based on the works of Austen,

this one by a lass named Alexandra Potter.

I'm in the midst of completing yet another Nancy Drew game

and trying to find more productive ways to spend my time.

I have been bombarded with constant questions about my pending future after high school.

And yes, I do tell you something about graphic design

and drop a few hints of uncertainty.

But to be honest, I'm pretty much uncertain.

I really don't know what life brings forth to me- excuse the cliche- but really, I don't.

And while I leave my mind to wander, I welcome any helpful suggestions.

Because, no, sometimes I don't think it's fun to not know.

Christmas is how many? weeks away and I've still not done the necessities yet.

I want Christmas treats and all the lovely, warm feeling that this

bitter and frosty weather brings.

But we don't always get what we want, now do we?

I bid you adieu, and a sincere apology if I had wasted your time.

I have deep respect for one who writes well.

Be it par or better than he/she speaks,

a person with a good command of words will always stop me in my steps.

Like the quiet and socially awkward girl who hangs in the background,

she will amaze you with her rants and cries she posts onto the virtual world.

Her words, oh her words and how she strings them along to make this

beautiful and yet captivating piece of jewellery to adorn the literary world.

Nothing is more satisfying than producing a nice piece of writing where I have successfully,

in my own words, articulated myself.

I shall leave you with that and this question to ponder:

"How does one feel in love, but yet not have anyone to love?"

It makes her sound vulnerable and cold,

like the way the breeze blows in and welcomes the Autumn months to come.

It's cold, darling, I'd admit.

It's freezing.

The painful freezing where you can see your breath at every word

and feel the prickling coolness at the tip of your nose.

The kind that makes you wish for the warm crackle of the fire

and the delicious smell of pie wafting from the oven.

Cold, oh, so cold.

Both in personality and weather.

Beloved, I'd stay here and keep your hands warm...

But for now, I must depart.

Farewell, I bid you, my dear.

Please, fare well.

Things I've collected the past weeks:

- Interesting names (of one after a cold season; another of a girl from Charles Dickens' novel)

- Strange thoughts

- Face art tips

I'm currently in the mood for pie, any kind will do, sweet or savory. Pastry is crucial to me, a nice, crumbly and warm crust that falls apart in your mouth- mmm. Also a dark, melancholy movie, mixed with themes of love and life. Foreign films will be a bonus- I find reading subtitles engaging.

I should put that in a print ad. Hello hello hello! A person paging for a friend (or stranger) who enjoys the above like she does. No experience necessary.

// Austen, love, if you are reading this, let me just ask you one thing:

Are you back in homeland already? You sound sad and troubled. And skinny? I think.

Hope to hear from you soon!
