Ever After: January 2010
http://silent-harmonics.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 27, 2010. My good friend R was sitting to my right, and he'd shaved, put on glasses, and was wearing a nice peacoat with a full suit. "I can smell the anticipation in here," he said, leaning close to me. "You can just feel it in the air. The competition, the violent ambition.". After the presentation about the company there was a Q&A session. There were some valid questions and some very obviously insincere ones, like "What do you think your greatest challenge is at?

Ever After: Two Threads of Thoughts
http://silent-harmonics.blogspot.com/2010/11/two-threads-of-thoughts.html
Monday, November 29, 2010. Two Threads of Thoughts. 2 "Africa" is such a cliche that it's condescending and meaningless. The people who tend to use it, e.g. "do some good and help out a poor starving HIV-positive kid in Africa" often have no idea of the conditions in Africa, or the culture, or the facts. Myself included. I'm making an effort to avoid all such cliches in the future. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Two Threads of Thoughts. It Goes On and On and On. Reasons Why Today Was Great.

Ever After: Snippet: Spring 2008, Age 19
http://silent-harmonics.blogspot.com/2011/01/snippet-spring-2008-age-19.html
Wednesday, January 12, 2011. Snippet: Spring 2008, Age 19. I stared at a girl wearing a cotton strapped dress over a t-shirt. It seemed weird and childish, and her odd blissfulness and sweetness matched it. She was barefoot for some reason. I clutched at my one beer bottle. I wouldn't have anything to do after I finished the beer, and there were no more, so I took tiny sips as the ale became unpleasantly lukewarm. The dregs are always bitter-tasting. The moment felt trashy and pointless. Eventually, one ...

Ever After: August 2010
http://silent-harmonics.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 31, 2010. Atolls and islands, blue that ripens into translucent green. Like the outline of a sunken Atlantis. The ridges standing just below the surface. Like quiet actors standing behind the curtain. Waiting to spring to life. Tantalizingly, they wink at us from the air. Their secrets are silent and will never be spoken. Links to this post.

http://silent-harmonics.blogspot.com/2010/11/it-goes-on-and-on-and-on.html
Sunday, November 21, 2010. It Goes On and On and On. I woke up this morning and suddenly didn't know where I was - I felt like I was waking from a coma, like the last three years had been a dream, and I didn't understand how I'd gotten here. Who are these lovely strangers around me? Where are my best friends from the town I grew up in? And who are the adult versions they are now, these taller and more well-dressed and ambitious people? I want to go back, but home is elusive and ephemeral. It's gone&#...

A little girl stands on a beach, safely away from the water, and watches a star fall from the sky: a great, green comet that burns and burns as it drops in. We got knocked out after the quarter-finalist round of the competition. That's all right, I wasn't banking on their support anymore. Last week my partner a. Great barrier reefer madness, part II.

Everyone had left except him and his buddy. He was probably determined to leave with a girl no matter what. Was that the state school mantra? I don't want to make this awkward and angrily tell him to go away, especially since I'm a hostess. Who sweet talks a girl by blocking her in her own bathroom? The moment felt trashy and pointless. Somehow I m...
