if you could, would you walk with me?

I shape myself with handy labels but fail to paint myself whole. Perhaps I am simply fractured tidbits and snippits of trivia.

What may matter: I am 25. Lesbian. Feminist. Dianic. A sexual abuse survivor. Tattooed and pierced. Every adjective and many, many adverbs.

dark-kittie profile - diary

comments: Raw, astute, and fierce as all hell.

elipsis profile - diary

comments: "what i really need is to chop off my ego and bury it in... something completely anonymous." Ah, wisdom, thy name is Elipsis.

ghanima profile - diary

comments: Sharp, witty, and fierce; a guaranteed literary crush.

jenne1017 profile - diary

comments: I wanna be like her.

lattefairy26 profile - diary

comments: She writes like a dream--wispy vague solid pieces of color.

la-tigresa profile - diary

comments: Like a caged tiger in a zoo, she paces as the world watches complacently, unaware of what they're seeing.

milkwood profile - diary

comments: She gives me major diary envy.

merricat profile - diary

comments: Where to start? Listens to Eddie from Ohio (yay), reads Carl Sagan (double yay) and is part of the activist ring, which makes her a really good person. And she writes well to boot. (triple yay).

orangina21 profile - diary

comments: Some kind of demi-goddess in human form: memorizes trees, reads Douglas Adams *and* Edwidge Danticat, and refuses to believe that college is all about beer.

orpheusd0wn profile - diary

comments: Like the glittering edge of broken glass: so tempting to touch, so painful to be near, and addictive, entirely.

rudelilgirl profile - diary

comments: She's 21 and her mom asks her if "that's what she's going to wear". True pain.

raissa profile - diary

comments: Beautiful site with clear and intuitive entries.

ramanda profile - diary

comments: Thoughts wandering across terrain that is familiar and foreign, like watching people on the train.

sheherezade profile - diary

comments: Her words weave together, folding onto itself, twisting and knotting, until I find myself tangled in the language and breathless from the experience.

sandandwater profile - diary

comments: jenne1017's other half; an addicting read in itself, absolutely sinful when read against jenne's...

shdwsoldier profile - diary

comments: Youth is not wasted on the young here, and age is something that will come, and what already exists is stark and beautiful, like a sapling against a snowstorm.

sparkles37 profile - diary

comments: Sarcasm in a slick layout; some of the wonkiest Google search results I've ever seen.

comments: Words reflecting inner pain that one can almost taste.

bookofdreams profile - diary

comments: Words trapped in the most free sense: kept by choice, by passion, by desire.

dearroberta profile - diary

montparnasse profile - diary

comments: Our side of the Seine, indeed.

femmeproject profile - diary

comments: Women, writing. And the magic ensues.

rhyme profile - diary

comments: Entries like vodka shots: trenchant but so godly good.

tou-mou profile - diary
