Hello there.
My poor old bamboo tablet broke
and now I feel like shouting it at the top of my lungs so that everybody would know
RIP Tablet.
On a more serious note, I find the situation in France - like everybody else - really upsetting. I'm might not be saying I'm Charlie but I definitely am for liberty of art and maybe a breeze of peace and understanding as far as the religious 'realms' go. I have relatives in France, so all I can do is hope they'll be safe.
And now for happier things-
BeccaJS' Critique Challange has ended, and the number of critiques written has reached the amazing number of 366! Challange or no challange, we shall all keep it up!

College ImpressionsAutumn arrived early this year,
suddenly—within the matter of three minutes—
a sucker punch
that couldn't afford to last.
Summer's efflorescence still bloomed
on the first day of classes
as the white magnolias filled the quad
and the denizens of the red bricked buildings
returned to their labors.
New experiences,
too many to quantify:
in the bustling pastel swaths of students
and the cool white dimness of the lecture hall,
hours of freedom
after the endless summers
of lethargy and monochrome
that fade with the last remnants of childhood...
new home,
new family
curled midst the neon chairs and cushions
carpeting the floor.
3 AM board games,
the plastic rainbow of pieces
blurring through my exhaustion,
shuffling weary home
before dawn breaks pale on the horizon
past the last of the party rabble
slurring profanities that echo up the stairwell
chasing me to bed.
Black and gold banners
snap in the chill air<em>
<da:thumb id="459155200"/>
<da:thumb id="503646750"/> <da:thumb id="455509228"/>
the words that got awaythe words are running
away from me, far from my open
mouth. I wanted to show you how much I loved you, but I
failed. the words caught us at a bad
time, sweet one, and I only bring peace to you now.
that's all this love will allow:
solitude and loneliness. happiness, it
seems, is yesterday's
talk. yesterday, when the words were within my
reach and not far away, down your
throat, cheering as they sped
through dusty corridors. yesterday was a lovely
time to be alive; to thrive, even.
now all I can do is wilt
as I run, trying to catch up
with the words that got away.
I'm so tired of chasing down these
pavements.
You're Not Really HumanI'm finally starting to calm down about the whole 'half-human/half-chameleon hybrid' thing when the intercom squawks to life.
"Harley Rochester, please come to the principal's office. I repeat, Harley Rochester, please come to the principal's office."
Aside from a few curious glances from my friends, no one really reacts as I take the hall pass from Mr. Rogers' outstretched hand and head out. Walking down the long, silent hallway, I try to figure out why Principal Bosch wants to see me: did he find out that I was behind his infamous nickname, Principal Buttsex? No, a stupid nickname wouldn't be enough to send a guy to the office. Or was it because of last week's food fight? I did toss the final salad, after all...
I knock on the door to his office.
"Come in," Bosch says, and I open the door to find three guys who look like they've come straight out of a political thriller, all decked in black with sunglasses and ear buds. My heart starts to pound. No
The Sum of InfinityI don't know if I'll ever tell my children about you.
(I don't know if I'll even have descendants.)
A family was never on my to-do list,
until you came along.
You made me wonder if I wanted kids, just so I could say to them
"You know, the day your dad and I met…"
because I thought we could last forever,
and I'm still not sure if we have.
Our friendship endures, even as I fall asleep
picturing her arms around you,
and I wonder if you'll ever come back to me
but spend every day noticing the reasons I'm glad you left
and hoping you'll return.
Never intending to fall in love,
we were an item
before you knew my name.
She reclaimed you,
and yet
you still belong to me
by virtue of the ampersand connecting our names
in the mind of every person
who watched us walk,
tall & short,
monochrome & kaleidoscope,
yin & yang,
through the winding, leaf-littered pathways
that are our life.
This sto
Aaaand, I'm out

Bit of detail + Hello again!
2 min read
I've been missing for four years or so haven't I! I will spare you the details of overflowing offline life and other matters, hoping there will be just smooth sailing around that part of town for a while. I'm now fine enough to say there I might create something worth checking 
Hopefully there will be another little era of KimRaiFanness lying ahead
Although, I've gotten over Xiaolin Showdown since God knows when so there might be a slight name change, hopefully /pokerface
PS. If there are people here who've enjoyed anything from my second account, they might find it again here.
