So I created this other journal on here specifically to gear it towards writing but now I'm having second thoughts. I just wanted to write again like I used to and I thought I could have a special place for writing and posting inspiration, but then I started asking myself, "Why not just post it on your livejournal? Isn't that what it's for?" So now I'm thinking of using the other journal for something else. Something that has to do with writing. Any ideas?

In the meantime, here's a poem I started a long, long time ago and just finished yesterday. I don't think I'm a very good poet and I always second-guess the poems I write. Either I feel they're too pretentious or too emo, too personal or too sucky, it's always something. But in order to grow I need to get over that so I'm posting it here. (I'm still freaking the fuck out though.)

Title: Sinking

above the surface
the cold air tickles my face
i float,
and my feet never reach the ground

i slip under
feel my way
in silence i feel safe

submerged, i sink
reaching for the ground
my skin is cold velvet
my hair floats above me
and my feet never reach the ground

i savor the silence
feel my way
the pressure becomes an old friend

i hug my cold skin
close my eyes and breathe
in silence i feel safe

sinking, i dream

my feet never reach the ground

So I closed down chiklita.net for good last night. I put up a little notice on the website's homepage about where to find me (either here or on twitter). I've always preferred livejournal for some reason after I signed up for this one. It's also easier to write in one site instead of two.

I'm going to post the last entry I had up at chiklita.net before I closed it down for my own personal record. I felt like it was meant for livejournal anyway. ( It's really long. )

This morning I finally went through the layout code and fixed it up. It was horrible. I also added some links in the sidebar linking to an entry on Books and 100 Facts About Me. It's almost like I migrated part of my website onto here.
I'm also going through old entries and re-doing the titles like the one I used on this entry because numbers are so hard to keep track of. 

I put an ad on craigslist to find Leo (my cockatiel) a new home. Now that I'm working two jobs I don't have the time and he deserves better. Tomorrow a man will be picking him up. He has a female cockatiel to keep Leo company. He lives close by and he said I could visit Leo any time. I'll miss him a ton but I think this is the best thing for him. It doesn't make it any less hard though.

I have a huge pile of laundry to do and I keep finding excuses to put it off. I better get on that.
