Snowblind

My friend, Asima Saad, offered a guest blog out of the blue and I gladly accepted it because I will be out of town for a few days. So here is Asima’s blog with her photos and her story. “I get by with a little help from my friends…” Thank you, Asima.

She waved back over her shoulder to her favorite barista and stepped back out into the cold–too cold–air. She shivered with a little ‘Brr’ sound escaping her lips. Though she knew the walk back to the car would be a long one. When she had arrived the lot was filled with cars, but now it was completely empty.

“…You know when you keep running but your legs are standing still?
It’s like you’re stuck in a nightmare but you keep doing it for the thrill…”

This all had set the stage for what began to happen next. Without warning, strange white flakes began to descend from the sky. They were large, and at first, she was concerned as to what they were. She’d seen ash fall from a burning building, but this was different. There was no smell of smoke. No flash of flame on the wind. Just the cold, and the peace that came with it.

“…Snowblind
Out of sight and out of mind
Just for tonight, come with me blindly.”

The entire city seemed to just accept this graceful blanket being dropped upon her shoulders ever so gently. And Asima too couldn’t help but but smile skyward. Her skin tingling with chill and excitement. It was her first real snow, and it was quite awe-inducing. That something with so much power, could be so still, and so completely tranquil.

Out of Touch

Manic moves and drowsy dreams
Or living in the middle
Between the two extremes.

Once in a while I have a guest blogger. I have had Asima Saad on the blog before and she wanted to cook up another look and blog entry, which I gladly accepted. Asima does a lot of RP and loves writing and dressing up. Hope you enjoy her look and story as much as I did.

Leah glanced upward at the clock on the wall and cracked her gum.

The rink was empty, and even the weirdos had called it a night. She shut off the lights to the popcorn machines, and soda fountains, then ran her fingertips along the long red countertop. Some guy had scraped into the red pressboard ‘SLAYER’ with something sharp and her nails glided easily across the deep grooves.

She wiggled her toes in one of the neon high-top sneaker as the music from the sound system wound its way through the vacant rink. She closed her eyes.

“Manic moves and drowsy dreams
Or living in the middle
Between the two extremes”

Synthesizers and drums created a sonic surf that she could swim in. And she lost herself in the rolling tides of the epic tune.

“You’re out of touch
I’m out of time (time)
But I’m out of my head
When you’re not around”

When the sound started to fade, headlights cut their way through the glass of the doorway, and she dropped down, snagging a cluster of keys on her dash to catch her ride home.

You’re out of touch
I’m out of time (time)
But I’m out of my head
When you’re not around.

Figure 8

Breathe your smoke into my lungs
In the back of the car with you I stare into the sun
Still not too old to die young
The lovers hold on to everything
And lovers hold on to anything

~ “Figure 8” by Ellie Goulding

Asima Saad, which is the display name for Unregistered Resident, is a friend who sometimes has great ideas for my blog. She had heard a song she thought I should blog while bragging about her new mesh hands from Siddean Munro. I challenged her to do the blog herself, and well, she did. Styling, modeling, set and text by Asima. Photos by Harper. (P.S. She said the dress is 50L. Get it!)

Distant romances are always difficult. They always seem to sting. Especially when they’re the best you’ve had.

When I was younger my mother told me the objective was not to get through everything so fast. That’s when things grow stale and stagnant.

I chased your love around a figure 8
I need you more than I can take
You promised forever and a day
And then you take it all away

I could hope though, dream, that I could hasten him back into my arms again.

I’m wearing red and nothing else. My feelings are red. A color for love, deep and swollen in the pit of my stomach. Warm, powerful, and vibrant.

The thorn’s pricked my heart, and all of my longings begin to pour out.

Place a kiss on my cheekbone
Then you vanish me
I’m buried in the snow
But something tells me I’m not alone
But lovers hold on to everything
And lovers hold on to anything
