His hand was larger than hers, his warm palm slightly rough against hers, his long fingers settled in the spaces between her own. A pinprick of fire marked the place where each of his fingertips brushed the back of her hand as his thumb stroked the skin of her inner wrist. She had never known her flesh to be so sensitive and each point of contact made her crave another.
The fingers of his free hand traced the shape of her nose, the curve of her cheekbone and the point of her chin. They danced along the slope of her neck and the curve of her shoulder. She did not know that the shoulder could feel or appreciate a touch so delicate. The craving increased, a crushing desire, devouring all thought, all the world beyond the sensation of skin against skin. They breathed simultaneously bringing their chests together. Her eyes dropped shut and he brought his hand to her face once more, his thumb brushing her closed eyelid. The blue tracery over white bearing more beauty than a butterfly's wing.
Her mouth formed a soft pink pout and finally he bent to press his own lips against hers, that most pure and lovely of touches.
But when she woke, his presence previously so warm and sure and solid, faded to smoke and memory. Gone all the quicker for her desperate attempts to grasp it. Her chest heaved in a sob and she ached for absence of his touch.
"He's just a kid and he never knew that he would be sleeper in the valley so soon"

Unhealthy Excitement
Anyway, so I tried to download it and my phone is full. And when I say full I mean full. So I'm trying to connect it to my computer so I can delete some stuff from the internal memory. Although I think my SD Card is just about full too...
Bah! I just want to download the dang app. I don't wanna organize my phone...
By the way, 19 pageviews today? I know that sounds lame but that's more than I've ever gotten in one day. Thanks!
Okay bye,

Haven't blogged in a while
I know you're dying to hear about my fabulous life. Hah! You've certainly come to the wrong place. But I can tell you about my love affair with old people.
Okay, that sounded really weird; I'm sorry. I just meant to say that I think old people are so adorable. Especially old couples. They just make me wanna squeal and say "nyawwww"!
Since I don't really have anything new going on I guess I'll just tell you some random stuff.
Let's see, well I photographed a wedding a few weeks ago so I'm currently editing the pictures from that.
It was a nice wedding, the church had all these pretty stained glass windows. And the sun was perfectly positioned so that the room was just flooded with multi-colored light.
My parents, my grandma and I went to a Thanksgiving dinner and a play. The dinner was really good (in case you were curious, I had ham because I hate turkey), though kind of unorganized (disorganized?)
I think that's about it really. Christmas is getting so close. We were supposed to be going to get a Christmas tree today but that plan sort of...fell apart.
I watched Super 8 earlier. It was pretty good. I started it once a few days ago and couldn't really get into it. So anyway, I watched it again today and I quite like it. Maybe I was just sleepy the first time. Whatever.
And I'm currently watching Water for Elephants. Not bad so far.
I'm thinking about trying to post on a weekly basis.
I don't know I'll get back to you on that.
Always,
Alyssa
