Time passes. Even when it seems impossible. Even when each tick of the second hand aches like the pulse of blood behind a bruise. It passes unevenly, in strange lurches and dragging lulls, but pass it does. Even for me. ~"New Moon" by Stephenie Meyer

Somehow, I haven't been able to get this quote out of my head. I wish my time could pass as slowly, though I do not envy the ache of poignant, lingering misery that goes a long with it. I need more time. There isn't enough of it to do all that I want, to say all that I wish, to keep company with those whose words and presence I miss, to please the people I so desire to please.

I'm working on a few written pieces sporadically these days. I may post them if I feel that they're finished and as good as they'll get. I've mostly been doodling and scribbling down things a few sentences at a time, so it may take a while. Other than that... I'll be around.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and ghouls, step right up! That's right, GuinGravedigger has submitted her first deviations since February. Hard to believe, I know. This is my new attempt at creativity, coupled with a minor psychological need to vent, tentatively entitled "Introspection: Like a Journal But Less Pathetic and I Can Pass My Odd Rationales, Strange Ideas, and highly Subjective Morals onto Others If They're Interested (Plus I Can Call It Creative and Thus Feel Less Useless and More Like I Have a Pseudo-Talent)". You can see why I've shortened it to just "Introspection".

On another note, I've starting a short story called "Blacklight" dealing with a fictional experimental drug, and I'm thinking about writing a story about superheroes.

There's been a lot going on since I've gotten my freedom back, but things are pretty stable at the moment, which is good. It's also going to be my three-month anniversary on Friday. I'll be swamped for a few weeks studying for AP tests, but that shouldn't burn me out too much, so I'm hoping things will be picking up soon after. Who knows, all the bad acting/singing/dancing in my AP World class after testing might even fully rejuvenate me. (Unlikely, but one can hope.)

I have completed my sentence of house arrest and am now free! I'll be back online a lot more, and I should be getting my computer back soon, mostly fixed. I finally saw people this weekend, everyone is happier, we played in a fountain at Victoria Gardens, and everything is generally looking pretty good. Plus, only nine more Mondays in the school year. And I have real food now, instead of assorted junk and canned soup. Life is amazing.

I've started a new project during my prison sentence, tentatively called "Introspection". It could be good. I've written up three or four and they should be up soon. It's my latest attempt at creativity and writing practice. We'll see how it goes and how long it lasts...

From dearest Guin.
It is Donya {xDecayingxStarlightx} and I am posting in here to inform all of you
that Sam {Guin as you all know her} won't be on for a good 30 days due to a rather
unfortunate run in with some incredibly misinformed police officials. Parents were contacted
and as of right now, she is in exile.
So, per her request at school today, I am posting this journal to let all her friends and
whatnots on DA know that it's not like she has disappeared or anything, she is simply on an
absence and will return as soon as she can.

Thank you for your patience
:]

Indeed, whomsoever manages to crack one of mine eggs shall be bequeathed with a one-shot. Here's the deal: you manage to be the lucky one to open one of my dragon eggs, you send me a note, we discuss what you want your one-shot to be about, it gets written and posted, along with a message notifying you of said deviation. Interested anyone? Click-o el link-o!!!

Egg #1: [link]
Egg #2: Coming Soon
Egg #3: Coming Soon

There may be more of these opportunities coming along soon. I also know that not a lot of my work is posted up here, so you have no idea if the one-shot is worth the click. All I'm saying is give it a chance. It could be worth it.

On another note altogether, life is improving significantly. Sisterhood is this weekend, my boyfriend and i have just gotten past the first-month marker, my friends are fairly happy people, and it is warming up. With any luck, registration for next year will go well, along with summer school applications. I have a creative stew bubbling into possibly a few stories, and a one-shot that I am currently in the refining stage of.

Any story ideas/requests are welcome, along with as much constructive criticism as you are willing to give. Hell, criticism in general is okay right now; go ahead, rip me a new one! Come my friends, let us burn in hell together!
