Dramatic Irony

A simple life. That was what Lee had always wanted — and it was exactly what he had. A typical day for him would begin at 7 A.M. sharp. He would take his morning shower, have his usual breakfast of buttered wholegrain toast, two soft-boiled eggs and coffee with skim milk, read the day’s papers and then board the crowded 8 A.M. bus to his office. For years, he had been following the same routine. It was predictable, comfortable and, most importantly, safe — qualities he valued above all others. He also placed a great deal of emphasis on consistency and constancy: ever since graduating from a local university with exemplary

Lest I Burn Alone by Cherry3, literature

Lest I Burn Alone

I struck a match & ignited a flame But a breeze of uncertainty soon ended its life Yet now, there's a fire which I cannot tame This fireplace is now with passion rife The embers of this heart, they glow so brightly The once-dead wood, it burns so steadily I tried to extingush this fire oh, so lightly But I failed, albeit all too readily Come, stand with me as I watch the burning This fire doesn't hurt; it does not scar Can you see the deep & constant yearning? Somehow, you seem so near yet so far Let's cut down the trees of inhibition Gather the wood & start a bonfire Set ablaze the branches of hesitation Burn them all away..th

Depression.Repression.

She started down the path of good intention Intending, of course, to stay on track But what no one had ever mentioned Was how such a plan in certainty lacked As she went on her way, she began to weary The storms she had to weather were taking their toll The skies were dark and the journey was dreary And in time, she started to stumble & fall Soon, it was another heart, another failure And though she tried her desperate best to smile She could feel herself getting older & lonelier Wondering if such pain was worth her while A subconscious response to the end of girlhood It seemed inevitable, like some divine machination A quarter-

Finality by Cherry3, literature

Literature

Finality

Boy met girl, girl met boy Each felt a surge of pure joy Drawn to each other like a moth to a flame They knew their lives would never be the same But this heady romance was not to last Differences, demands, dark secrets from the past Tore them apart & left them broken They soon parted ways, nary a word between them spoken 'Twas a year to the day that their love had died When at a friend's party, they were side by side Each one was surprised at the other's presence But good ol' J.D. soon broke the awkward silence Almost inevitably, he had a little too much And for old times' sake & other obligations as such She took care of him,

Prologue by Cherry3, literature

Literature

Prologue

Words. Wonderful, aren't they? When used correctly, they can convey the most diverse range of emotions and paint the most vivid of images, steer the stationary wheels of a mild imagination into motion and cause an already wild imagination to run completely amok. Sometimes, they can even inspire filmmakers to direct cinematic works of art or influence songwriters and composers to create beautiful music. When used incorrectly, however, they tend to grate on the senses and elicit a wide - but hardly positive - spectrum of responses: confusion, disgust, incredulity...the list goes on. The world has seen its share of wordsmiths, both legendary

My Bio

Writing is my passion and profession. I love the stage, whether I'm teaching drama, at a concert or in a play. Exhausting workouts make me feel good. Good music and books make me feel safe.

An unrepentant carnivore; impossibly persnickety about my food and drink. My poison? Single malt Scotch - preferably accompanied by a good cigar.

Asocial, introverted, opportunistic, sarcastic. And because it's often said that your friends know you better than you know yourself, I leave you with a list of accolades that have been informally bestowed upon me:

The Bushwhacker
The Bustasaur
The Instigator
The Nutcracker
Cherylnobyl
Die Katzenkönigin
Intropervert
Kara Tay
Lady Cheryl Titsalot of Bustines
SadistiCat
Seedy Siren

Sigh

0 min read

It's a Saturday morning & here I am, updating my dA journal instead of rushing to work. Saturdays like this have become a rare & precious commodity, since the captain of the corporate slave ship I work on has decreed that every slave is entitled to a maximum of two Saturdays off per month. I'm heading back to bed real soon, since I promised myself I'd sleep in today. After all, I hardly have that opportunity these days. But while I'm updating, I'll throw in something quite random & seemingly irrelevant: The Cure has made some of the most delightfully depressing music I've ever heard. Also, something else: happy 48th, Bono! &lt

Boredom

0 min read

I'm done with my Film Theory & Criticism exam - hardly studied, watched only two of the gazillion films I was supposed to watch & am running on approximately four hours of sleep & exactly one cup of espresso...& man, I feel great. O.k., not entirely, but that's not because of the lack of sleep or whatnot. The exam was pretty easy; one down, two to go. Anyhow, I'm in the school's Mac Lab now, bored half to death. So, I decided to do this. Enjoy & do it as well, if you wish. Rules 1. Answer the questions below. 2. Type each answer into the dA search box. 3. Take any one deviation from the first page of results for each

Good Day

0 min read

Yes, yesterday was a pretty darned good day. Despite a relatively stressful start ($15 cab fare, SPH writing test etc.), all else went well. The test turned out to be surprisingly easy, my group made considerable progress on our proposal & - despite even more stress due to some unprecedented changes - I managed to pull some last-minute magic out of my amazing ass for our campus radio show later today. Better yet, it seems today is off to a good start already - Roger Federer beat Tomas Berdych 6 - 4, 7 - 6, 6 - 3 at the Australian Open & hey, I got a new copywriting assignment, which, of course, means more money. Hehehe. Also, after
