The Girl With Stars In Her Hair
I am the girl with stars in her hair. But before I was a girl, I was a child. A child brimming with possibility and potential. I basked daily in the California sun. I played with my Barbies reverently. I colored two pictures at a time with both my hands. I ran around the house naked before a bath and laughed carelessly into my mom’s blond dreadlocks. The world was mine. Everything was pure and tinted pink. The color of unfiltered and unadulterated innocence. But a dark cloud descended on my rose-colored world. And everything changed.

The church ministers
There was a baptism in St. Peter's in the afternoon, so Obert Edouard was still wearing his priestly robes. He always put his new cassock on for funerals or weddings (those who are fashionable always choose St. Peter's for these ceremonies), so now he wears a slightly inferior one. He felt proud to wear this robe, because it was a sign of the dignity of his position. This son was not easy to come by. He always had to do the folding and ironing of the cassock himself. After sixteen years of service in this church, he has had many such robes, but he never throws away the old ones, all of which are neatly wrapped in vellum and stored in a drawer under his bedroom closet.

Reason and Imagination
In 1820, Thomas Love Peacock's essay "The Four Ages of Poetry" suggested a theory that "poetry in its origin was a primitive use of language and mind" and that "poetry had become a useless anachronism in his own Age of Bronze." Even though this piece was satirical in nature, Utilitarian philosophers would hold fast to Peacock's ideas. Knowing this piece to be a joke by his good friend, Percy Bysshe Shelley responded with his own essay "A Defence of Poetry."

A Brief History of Washers
Enjoy this false history of a real game:) Beginning in 1863 the gentle contest of Washers lit its journey to existence. From inception as a tool of destruction in the Civil War, through its success at the 1904 World’s Fair, to the grassroots fervor of today, its path to the hearts of Americans has come in many defiant ways. Whether you learned first-hand from an uncle or played the game independent of your town rules, the institution of Washers has enveloped millions of stalwarts through the years.

Hey I’m Cristiana
Hmm… I think this is the most important page, the most read and yet the hardest to write… My life is a story, a story that I write every day, and sometimes when I realize that something is wrong .. I rewrite it .. This blog is a challenge especially for me but even more I want to become a therapy for those who are like me, for those who share the same principles and the same ideals as me.

Thought Train Stations
Lots of writers like to let ideas sit and grow in their head before they really give it a solid word shape. This seems like a great approach. It allows ideas to explore all the train of thought stations and find the perfect one. However I have no idea if it actually works well; I’ve never used it. I have to write as I’m thinking because once a thought has passed, I ain’t thinking it again. That takes too much energy and I need to save as much as possible in order to survive the life sucking public education system.
