Huggability and rough-and-tumble ness. It's so nice hugging a guy and you fit perfectly into them <3: That being said I'm 5"1 so I barely reach most guys' shoulders anymore >< Oh and a nice deep, calm voice :)

My favourite actress! I definitely have a bit of a crush on her :P She has such a cool fashion sense as well!

Mental illness - bipolar disorder, depression, etc, on my mum's side, maybe schizophrenic tendencies, I'm not sure about that last one. Both sides of the family seem quite obsessive-compulsive but not enough for it to be diagnosed as an issue. I'm in my mid-teens and I've been very mentally healthy for most of my life - my older brother is totally unaffected as far as I know - so I hope I'm unaffected as well.

I would hope to be as understanding and supportive as possible but I could never trust them again, I couldn't marry them and I doubt I could love them. If you've already slept together without being told, well that would just be one of the most selfish things he/she could do.

Sometimes I cant tell where the buildings stop being clouds and where the black sky drops its soft feet on rooftops. Its full of lights, the star-spangled, indigo canvas of the heavens. Every single twinkling star, up there so far above my head, is thousands and thousands of years old, and I remind myself that Im gazing into the past. Theyre coming to guide us through the cosmos, from a time before there were people and buildings and cars on this little lonely blue ball. Its a humbling thought. The wind rustles and my hair stirs softly over my face. I think about all the millions of people on this side of the world, and wonder how many of them are seeing and thinking what I am. Somewhere I dont think its very many. The only time you can really think, really exist, like this is when youre so far from anyone who might be doing the same thing.

I really enjoyed reading this. It struck me very much more as a description, though, a laying out of a scenario, rather than a story with plot and characters. That's certainly not a bad thing; it's very thought-provoking; it read to me like a psychological case-study - or not so much a case-study as a scenario/method/experiment for exploring the human mind and the differences between people - what drives us mad, how do we handle purposelessness and absolute ignorance... As others have said I think it would be a wonderful story if it was fleshed out a little more, and of course it's your story so I don't want to be dictatorial, but I don't think it would work if the inhabitant comes to discover anything about whoever it is holding him captive; I would have the focus of it more internal, concerned with the current inhabitant's state of mind and the stories of those gone before - because (personally speaking - maybe I'm wrong for others?) the real interest lies in the psychology of it, rather than the imaginings of who has brought him here, and perhaps his struggle to escape. I think the reasonably calm, sage tone of the narrator would contrast well with the potential insanity of some of the booklet-writers. Anyway, nice one, loved reading it : )

Yay, raw thoughts is back! This one is so different - the nature of it is apocalyptic, political, on a much bigger scale than the first. Personally I preferred the first but I found this one fascinating as well. I love the verse "If a long life is justifiable, then why are you lying on your death bed, unable to remember your first puppy's name?" Basically even despite it's apocalyptic atmosphere I found it refreshing due to its disregard for regularity - verses all different lengths and rhythms, no rhyming scheme, words thrown in here and there - it's original and totally unique : )
