It&#8217;s hard to explain. I wanted to turn to someone and share a conspiratorial glance, rife with a desire to smile a thousand times. I miss the <a href=\"http:\/\/porphyre.livejournal.com\/496563.html\">anonymous letters<\/a>. They were the closest thing I had to anyone calling to see if I was okay, now that no-one cares if I dream about them anymore. (I haven&#8217;t received any since May). Precious and rarest of things, they remain mine and only mine. <\/p>\n<p><i><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=svEcMGxqjCQ\">This lovely Levi ad<\/a> has been posted before, but now there&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yAwInfGzcaI\">a sweet parody<\/a> by a UK tropical drink company called Lilt. <\/i><\/p>\n<p>I suspect the game became tired.

They&#8217;re beginning to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.teenchatdecoder.com\/\">slide into the consciousness<\/a> of the people around me. I read them like rosary beads, asking who&#8217;s trying to make me smile, like perhaps I&#8217;ll be allowed to slip stories into conversation again some day. Ravenous angels dancing on pins, that&#8217;s me. A tiny figure, sitting at the feet of who I used to be, looking up and disbelieving.
