Oh How the Mighty Fall.

After the rage, the indignance, the fear died out, Charlie was left with barefaced melancholy. The crew had never seen her thus. Her heart had not only been broken apart- it had smashed asunder. Some of the more bitter men agreed that this too would pass, and the wench that had been stolen aboard would be gone within a day. Stevens knew better though, and he was almost as pale as she was.
There were a few normal tells, that were missing, you see, that would mark this as a large, but petty spat. For one, Charlie usually paced and muttered, or did something physical to burn off the fire in her heart like tow the sails or jump to the capstan. Instead she manned the helm with a death grip from the moment they left port, only taking a short break to deal with the girl below deck and to sleep, quite alone, in her cabin. Second, she had for the first time in perhaps eight years of captaincy, Charlie had barked an actual order. Crew members were told to mind their own business, to cease chatting whilst working, to put their backs into the ropes. There was no singing to help aid the work. Her usual protocol when upset was to turn to her crew for advice, for solace, for an ear to belly ache to. She was the whiniest, most amusingly exuberant sailor they had ever encountered. Yet there was only a cold, dark tone to her very words. Surname basis, formal language as far as she could manage, and absolute silence besides. Even the wench came up upon the deck to try and comfort her- even she looked surprised to find she was shrugged off and turned away. For Charlie, there was only the helm, and the sheets of rain that she manned it through.
Rumours were wild.
General blame rested upon Bones’ shoulders- for surely, she must have done or said something to break Charlie so. Surely only the Scarlet Coat could have done this- perhaps she had turned upon them. Perhaps Charlie had killed her.

I Am No Poet. [Arches]

I am no poet.
My words lock themselves in my head.
I try to speak, to express,
But my tongue remains twisted.

I am no artist.
My hands freeze upon contact.
I try to mold, create,
Yet my wrist flicks in annoyance.

I am no comforter,
I cannot speak, cannot draw or write.
I try to create comfort and a smile,
Yet I simply fall short.

In short, I am nothing.
My existence is questionable.
And yet, I hope that I have somehow....




...cheered you up in one form or another.

The Whispers of the Ocean

It seemed as though my life were normal for a girl of sixteen. School was steady and the ballet dancing was a joy to endure. It was not until that night on June 2,2009 that my life had changed for ever. Mom and I had just moved into a house by the sea. So naturally we were going through the chaos of finding and organizing our stuff between bites of pizza.Even our tabby cat Zozen seemed to enjoy the house. While organizing cds the phone rang, naturally I thought it was my grandmother checking up on us.However I sensed a change in the atmosphere and one look at my mother I knew some thing was terribly wrong.I asked whats wrong but she would not respond. I stood by her side loyaly
not knowing what was going on. It was not until I heard her say they did not take him out, that I knew something terrible had happened.After she hung up the phone she said " Marrissa your brothers dead he was in a car acci........" that was all she could manage to say before we both burst out crying. Neither one of us slept that and the next few days are to painful to talk about. It was a harsh reallity to realize my brother was gone and not at all pleasant to dwell on.

A Beginning with bittersweet memories


August 29,2009


My alarm clock screeched 5:30 as I rolled sluggishly to shut it off."Dabburnet" I mumbled as I hoisted myself out of the comfort of the blankets.Looking out the window the sun was still hiding behind the clouds.I yawned absent mindedly as I went to the bathroom to turn on the water for the shower.I took my shower slowly as if somehow trying to slow down time. After all the first day was today. After I dressed in capris and a T-shirt I stumbled out onto the deck to view the oceon.My brother had once said that the oceon is the earth's heatbeat. This memory put a smile on my face but was short lived. Smiles never really stayed on my face these days.

Bellingrath Gardens, Take Two! (Image Heavy)

So this time I took my aunt with me to Bellingrath Gardens, which is a huge area that was turned into a really cool garden. In addition to going to the gardens, we also went on a boat ride along the Fowl River. Hope you guys enjoy these pics!

The flowers are a lot different in March than they were when I went in October. That's because the people who work there change out the flowers yearround! Must be a heck of a job!

And you will see a couple of pics of my Aunt and myself in there.
