Crushed Heart Room (poem)

Put my heart in the crushed heart room

With all the other pathetic clichéd souls

Who were stupid enough to give away 

Their entire being

Put my tears in the vat of those 

Who say they’d do anything for him

But would rather just cry

Put my mind in the nursery

Of wretched obsessive teenage girls

As Taylor Swift rocks the pink sponges to sleep

But they will never sleep

Spinning constant tapestries of endless

Implausible fantasies 

Starring the one who left them behind

Play the world’s smallest violin 

For the sucker who almost 

Put her foot in her mouth

Thank God I found out before 

I wore my heart on my sleeve

But he just put his hand inside me

And crushed it

Before I could even tell him anything

So does it matter what I did?

And this isn’t poetry

I’m not doing anything really

Just trying to be alive

But why?

Trying to lose weight

For what?

Trying to keep my job

To survive

What’s keeping me here?

I can’t stop thinking that it isn’t true

That you were misquoted

But it’s the end

I can’t feed that poor brain 

Any more love propaganda

Without resistance

Acid reflux

How fucking romantic

He doesn’t think I’m worth being with 

So why should I be worth anything to anyone?

He ruined all the other guys for me

I let him do that

They’re just hot guys

I’d never date them

I just don’t know what to say or do

Can’t bother to rhyme

This isn’t a limerick

Or a Shakespeare play 

Or a Doctor Seuss book

I don’t know where to go

Why do anything?

I have to see him all the time

Hang out with him

He wants to string me along

Like a little balloon that he’ll...

...release to the sky

When he’s bored with it

Float up to the blue endless sky 

Tears blown away by the wind as he 

Walks away as if I was never in his hands

As he grows smaller and smaller

Irrelevant

Princess Bride Remake!

Hello people!

I'm sorry about not posting these last few months.  I can't say I've been that busy.  I did have exams and my jury and applying for jobs, but really most of the time I've been sleeping, eating and watching TV.  I guess I'm just getting bored of blogging for a non-existent audience.  No one comments!  But I have been writing quite a bit for FanFiction.net because the people on there seem to be reading and giving me feedback.  Also, it's fun to take a work of fiction and make it your own.

Mostly what's happening with me right now is that I am still looking for a summer job.  I do have the art gallery but that is only every Saturday morning.  Luckily, today was a great day because not only am I eligible for a big tax refund, but I have an interview for Loblaws in a couple days!  I really hope I get the job, even if it means I have be a cashier.

I'm sure it's not as bad as people say it is...

My main topic for this evening is the Princess Bride.

I just revisited one of my preteen movie obsessions for fun and as I was watching it I thought of remake cast members one by one.  Almost every character reminded me of a modern actor in some way.  If you've seen this movie, you probably remember it as an awesome, low-budget, underrated 80s fairytale adventure movie with a great cast.


Since it was made in 1987 they could do a 25th anniversary remake (2012) or a 30th anniversary remake (2017).

I know some people may disagree with me about this, but this movie could be made funnier than it was (although it was absolutely hilarious).  I most definitely think the music could have been improved.  No full out musical song-and-dance numbers, but definitely something a little less boring, like John Williams or Danny Elfman.

Be forewarned - this is not a practical cast, it is my dream cast!

Westley = Dustin Ingram (if he can do an excellent British accent)
Buttercup = Keira Knightley
Humperdinck = Jerry Seinfeld
Inigo Montoya = Antonio Banderas
Fezzik = Arnold Schwarzenegger in a fat suit
Vizzini = Rick Mercer (if you haven't heard of him, you should seriously look up "Rick Mercer Report")
Count Rugen = Alan Rickman
Miracle Max = Christopher Walken
Valerie = Julia Louis Dreyfus
Albino = Ken Jeong
Sickly child (Grandson) = Noah Cyrus?
Grandfather =John Mahoney
Impressive clergyman = Rowan Atkinson or Patrick Kerr
The Queen = Helen Mirren
The Decrepit King = Christopher Plummer
The Ancient Booer = Susan Boyle

Comment if you like my choices, or if you disagree with them!  Be honest!  I love constructive criticism!
