      <title>A great start to the holiday season..</title>

    &lt;/a&gt;
										&lt;div&gt;Athena's Christmas present to me this year was my wings, something I have been wanting for a long time that Jason and I designed about 2 years ago. Tonight, we finally went and got them. The pain was quite more than I was expecting but it was a welcome distraction from the emotional anguish I've been sucked into lately.&#xD;
&#xD;
I feel wonderful right now... and I have finally have my wings.&lt;/div&gt;</description>

      <title>The rain..</title>

    &lt;/a&gt;
										&lt;div&gt;It seems that with the rain comes my introspective periods.&#xD;
&#xD;
I worry about things, and more than ever do I feel lonely this time of year. And I'd just like to fall asleep in his arms tonight instead of this weekend.&#xD;
&#xD;
Sometimes I get tired of being so fucking patient... but I know I still will be, because I have no other option.&lt;/div&gt;</description>

      <title>melancholy ahead (I warned you)</title>
      <link>http://people.tribe.net/blackbell/blog/4528f4a8-c19e-487d-8619-bda944c05abc</link>
      <description>&lt;a href="http://people.tribe.net/blackbell/blog/4528f4a8-c19e-487d-8619-bda944c05abc"&gt;  						          &lt;img class=" picThumb" src="http://images.tribe.net/tribe/upload/photo/69d/5c4/69d5c45b-42be-493a-90ac-15fb848d20a3.thumb" width="65" height="44" alt="" /&gt;
    &lt;/a&gt;
										&lt;div&gt;I feel like there is a storm coming. &#xD;
&#xD;
I can feel so much building up inside of me, waiting to pour out at an inopportune moment. I want the rain to come, pouring loud and freezing cold. And when it comes, I want to go and sit in it. I want to walk barefoot in the rain, by myself or with someone else if there is someone I want with me then, and let the rain wash this away. &#xD;
&#xD;
I feel like I am at a turning point, maybe because I am, and I'm scared. I have a lot of different choices ahead of me, and I guess that's a bit scary. I have the prospect of something wonderful that has the possibility of actually lasting. I'm at a turning point in my academic career, and I'm slightly sad about it because I really thought where I was going was the place for me. But maybe there isn't a place for me, at least that I can find now. Sometimes I feel like all the bad things in my life overpower the good, but then I get perspective on things (sometimes because of people helping me) and realize that not only is the bad not as bad as I thought, but more good is present than I first saw.&#xD;
&#xD;
But even though I know how good I really have things, it doesn't stop me from hurting. And the happiness and the pain are both present, and sometimes I hate it. I wish my life would choose which way to go, but I know things aren't that black and white.&#xD;
&#xD;
So fucking much has happened this year, and I don't always know whether to be thankful for it or not. I have learned maybe more than I wanted to, at least this quickly. I did some things I swore I would never do again. I did some things I didn't think I would do for another person. And some of the things I've felt.. I don't know what to say about those. Sometimes I think people as a whole have hurt me so much that I should just find a shack in the middle of nowhere and never leave.&#xD;
&#xD;
I'm just... tired. And I know that any kind of break or vacation from all this is not in my future. The only vacation I can get is when I can lay down, be held, and just.. relax. But not so much, can't have that right now as it's too far away. Sometimes I just get so frustrated.&lt;/div&gt;</description>
