Eww Spiders!

Oh My!
So, I know many people are afriad of spiders. They can bite and some are poisonous...I know, it's not completely insane. And it's not as if I want to take one as my pet and snuggle him every night by any means. But sometimes some people (you know who you are, although you probably stopped reading this as soon as you saw the pic b/c it creeped you out) go much furthure than I when it comes to the fear, and the amazing effort you will put in to GETTING AWAY. :) 

An old roommate of mine was  is completely terrified of them. I tryied to show her this picture once and she freaked out and got all squirmy and wouldn't look. 

I rather like the picture the colour in it makes me smile, as do the memories that go with it. My sister and I were picking tomatoes for dinner in my parents garden. (We were no longer children, and my parents have since moved) The garden itself was by no means "pretty". Garden magazines would never consider it for a cover shot. It was over grown and the lines between plants couldn't be seen. But there was so much life, colour and it supplied us with delicious food that summer. And that's what I think about when I see this picture. That's what this scary looking, very large spider brings me. And I cannot squirm away from it, when I really want to embrace it. What it brings anyway...

Poetry...really?


So this is my first post with a poem. I am not really that into writing poetry and don't feel that I am really that good at it. But sometimes (when I'm upset or pissed usually) lines kind of come to me...and float around in my brain until I jot them down...so try not to be too cruel ;) Do you write? Is it when a certain mood strikes, or can you just sit down when you want to and the words come out? Okay, here we go... 

                 Side note: please don't steal my stuff. I'm never going to do anything with it, but that's just unfair and so not cool...

Use me

Use me and abuse me,
The way you see fit
I wait for you to move me and shape me
Into the positions you want me
Anticipation, expectation when the time is near,
Want it,
To reject it,
But that’s not the role I fill
I lye in waiting until the moment you take it
However you choose
Waiting for the day I will refuse it
When will you be the one to loose?

Scanty Oblivion

First Post
~ So I have no idea how this works, or if this will be successful or not. But I suppose it should be as it is mostly going to act as a form of release (?) for me while remaining unknown. Recently I have come to the understanding of the amazing freedom it is to be able to put things out into the world, to people you don't actually know me. Which just shows me that my fear of judgment is much greater than I ever realized.  
Anyways! I take pictures a lot. I am by NO means a profesional, nor do I have any more experience than you, most likely. But I really enjoy it, and would like to think I do get a good one every now and then. I will post some of them, how ever random they may be. 
I may also post poetry from time to time. I usually write when I am upset about things, so it tends to be dark, just FYI. 
I think thats pretty much it, although I may rant, but I will try to kept them short ~ most likely not sweet. And will include from time to time random musings on life, family, love, fan fiction (probs Twilight, I've tried HP but it doesn't really work for me). 
OH! The name ~
Scanty: limited or less than sufficient in degree, quantity, or extent

Oblivion: the fact or condition of forgetting or having forgotten; especially : the condition of being oblivious
              : the condition or state of being forgotten or unknown 
(Definitions from Merriam Webster.com)

I am a stay at home mom/student and therefore often feel that I never have enough time to myself ever(.) as there is always a child, husband or paper that needs attention. I am also very forgetful, and enjoy being unknown here on the web. Won't get into it more now, but that's basically where the name comes from. I go by Bowlove on Twitter, Youtube (although I don't make any vids just watch them) and FF.net. I go by Ell on ADF. :) 

Oh, and I use smiley faces :) and lol, WAY too much. The over-use police are coming, but I am sneaky and have gotten away so far, much to your disappointment ;) 

I hate winter, but sometimes it's pretty ♥

Until Next...```
