Me? Nephrite. aka Jade. Stone, first and foremost. Being human comes later. Nah. I'm just kidding. Film fanatic. Lit Major. Loves books (DUH). Dragon baby.
Don't watch much TV. I want to live like its the last moon rising and scream, just like no one's there. Here, I might lose all of my control. Don't blame me later if you don't wanna heed my warning.
sometimes I say things that don't come out right but its all in the heat of the moment. It's not too late for you to turn back now. In these Invisible Cities I will build by myself,
I hope you will enjoy yourself. The city will be made of green and black. There will be no bed of roses, but a crown of thorns. There will be wilted red roses and drooping stalks of violets.
There will be rainbows, but with no pots of gold. There will be more rain than sun, more tears than smiles. What? Did you think this was some kind of fairytale? Baby, wake up and smell the flowers. There are none. Where did the flowers go? I don't know.
And then you will see the world through my eyes.
eve.

one strong, monosyllabic word; controversial and provocative.
"why?"
a word i repeat n repeat over and over in my head.
a question i cant find an answer to.
the word that causes turmoil within me.
two words more.
"im upset".
three words here.
" i hate home".
and this is four.
" jade chen has died".
emotionally.
every year, every event.
without fail, catastrophe occurs.
i am sick n tired of this shit.
i used to love it, but now, i hate special occasions.
i hate it so so bad.
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?!
all this. makes me question my faith. wad i believe in.
or, wad i believe im trying to achieve.
we're broken. yes, physically.
but do we have to be broken mentally n emotionally?
do we?
is all of this pain necessary? is it?
and all im good at is cry cry cry. whine whine whine.
here's another strong monosyallbic word that has emotion however vulgar it is.
i dun like to use it but here it is.
fuck.
that word nv fails to evoke SOME kind of emotion no matter the age grp.
isnt tt just amazing?
sheesh.
today was celebration day.
lessons frm 8.10 to 10.10 but i got to leave early for dance.
managed to borrow a shirt frm weel. (u're a life-saver. seriously)
but then i kinda "died" during the actual performance?
1. the audience was totally overwhelming. my breath caught n i perspired n froze at the same time. yea, talk abt contradiction.
2. hello, my frens! i noe u guys meant well but u all killed me when u started screaming. i think i buried myself a million times over on the spot.
3. i think i danced like some spasticated monkey.
4. i had a bloated tummy!! eww.
`lose urself in the music the moment the one chance u've got
nv let it go. u've got one shot do not miss ur chance to blow this oppotunity comes once in a lifetime yo.
anw. asked jane to tape the thing but i dun think she rmbed. im not being biased.
aud n ver were, as usual, gr8.
god. can u please take me already? im more than willing to leave.
-walks out the door-one last word.pain.i need it. now.
pleasepleaseplease
