If you know me in the 'real-world'... Keep it to yourself.

Do NOT tell my friends and family about this blog!

This blog is a work in progress. Eventually, when it grows up, it wants to look pretty. Or maybe dark and dangerous.

Hmm... well come back later and see for yourself...

If you want to contact me but are a) too chicken to leave a public comment and
b) too lazy to look up my email address from my profile

Escape

Running away... 

That's what my days are
Blocking you, blocking me,
I no longer want to see
My days, my routines,
The mind-numbing steps that fill each moment
Wash, rinse, repeat
Wake up, exist, do and do more, until... 
Until a moment I steal
A moment in which I grab my phone,
Click frantically on that little blue icon
And watch words fill my screen
And I dive in, maybe I'll read just a page, or even just a line,
But for that page, for that line, 
I'll be away
I'll be escaping
I won't be here, listening to the same sounds,
Hearing the same requests, 
Feeling the same needs, your needs that smother my life
I'll be in someone else's life,
In another story 
Where others are happy or unhappy
But where they will one day be happy
Because someone gave them that gift
I'll be away, with Malec and Charlie and Simon
Free... until time pierces my splendid isolation once more
