Pearl Paradise Giveaway

I was reading a friend's new blog post, and it was about this site called Pearl Paradise that she had reviewed. It has beautiful items for great prices - perfect prices for the gals that choose pearls over diamonds (I myself being one of them.) I then read on to see that she is holding a contest for a Tahitian Pearl necklace! Here is the post so you can enter! Good luck!

Royal Pot of Saintly Tease

Dreamless dreams and shapeless tales
of which your tears have long forgotten
the twist of fate or how you had failed;
Your wish never acquired in your tasteless
Royal pot of saintly tease.

A fork in the road, watching with eyes
in the back of your head wishing for
A simple time to return, one who lies
for the sinner but unveils the saint
a trail of breadcrumbs reveals her
Royal pot of saintly tease.

Hazy eyes and bleary smiles
filled with fear and selfless doubt
Wishes, tales, and dreamless dreams . . .
Saintly tease, just go home, now.

Coin Laundry – Lisa Mitchell & Dream – Priscilla Ahn

Two favorite songs I thought I’d share . . . enjoy :]

 

Alice Took The Right Turn

Happy happy, sing sing.
It’s never as simple
as the simplicity of yesterday.
You see through your eyes
Those pretty, betraying lies.
But your heart and mind?
They see the murderous truths

Sing for me; sing a melody
Smile for me; if only to brighten my day
Hold me close and laugh with me
Only to break down the glacier of Not Now.

Depths and measures of words on your tongue;
You’re blind with what is made rather than how.

This is pointless, I’ll tell you right now.
I’ll tell you straight that you’re just a lie.
Your friends are a lie, your life is a lie.

Open your heart . . . open your mind.
Fall down the rabbit hole to see the truth.

Not everything is what is seems to be . . .

Tea Parties with Wine.

A simple little world
Lost in your eyes
A tea party with wine
Trapped in my imagination.

My story is simple and sweet.
I sit and sing my sweet lullaby.
I wait for him to smile.
I wait for him to speak.

I sing and I dance
A mournful tale.
It speaks of a love which,
To show, I fail.

I’m a simple little girl
Lost in my tale of disgrace.
Though, unlike other girls,
I have a fear of fate.

He’s a wistful young fellow.
Blind to what’s before him.
Caught up in the lies
So afraid to reveal his sin.

Maybe someday
He’ll see me again
But until then I wait
Long after the clouds turn grey,
Long before Cinderella finds her Prince,

Until then . . . I wait.

I found something even more interesting I found though. . .

LillyEllen custom designs. You pick which ring/necklace/bracelet/etc. you want from her shop, tell her what you want written on it, and tada! I found this neat, because I just LOVE things that are more personal and custom-made rather than a regular gift. They have more of a meaning – and are less likely to be thrown away when going scavenging your home for no-goods!

This, or a ring, is one I’d want . . . hint hint. ;]

 

She also has her own website at lillyellen.com if you’d like to see more :)

 

Enjoyyy.

Nights are the Worst

I don’t like nights currently (the sleeping, alone part of it.) My stomach feels sick because I’m very worried. I worry too much.

Luckily, during the day, I can distract myself with useless things such as restaurant names that are just wrong, making fun of lawyers, and cleaning my room when it will just be dirty again within a couple of days.

 

Last night, at 8:30, I went to see “Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince” with my good friend, Emma, and her mom. It was pretty amazing, I must say (although I don’t believe it would’ve been half as amazing if Emma and I hadn’t been hiked up on sugary goods :D). It was a much more humorous movie than the rest of the series. David Yates will not be chased down with pitchforks and fire. Good job, Mr. Yates.

I am looking forward to Wednesday. Do you have any idea as to why? Well, my friend, it is because I will be photographing my lovely best friend, Sarah, for her birthday :D it is a birthday gift from me to her. She has the loveliest blue eyes you’ve ever seen, and a gorgeous smile. I am very excited, and so is she :)

I’m also trying to finish “The Forgotten Garden” so then I can tell you all what I think of it. So far, I’m very impressed. It doesn’t have any nasty words or anything, and the story flows wonderfully. It’s different, too (compared to what I’ve read at least). It’s very innocent, with a hint of a dark, foreboding tale. My kind of book :)

 

Anyway, I’m off to attempt cleaning that dastardly treacherous room of mine. Wish me luck, fellows.
