  2. What the fuck does startled mean? Oh yeah, startled.. Um startled. I’m fucking startled. I paid a load bunch of money last night, because the fucking train didn’t bother to show up and had to take a cab all the way fucking home. It was damn expensive. But at least I got to stay in the House of the Year with my friends…

  5. I was startled at the fact that I came out. Sure, many friends that have known me for a while had a sense of it, but with definite changes in my appearance and personality, people don’t believe it more than ever, it startles them, it startles myself. Gay community is hard to keep up with. as

  10. I am startled that this page is so white. I am startled that this whole world is not a good place to live in. I am startled that the word that is given to me is not a good choice. I am startled that I am not in the mood to write idiotic things like this. I am completely startled.

  12. i used to be startled to open the door and find my relatives waiting there. i would wait for them to come over to our place often. and they would come without notice. those were days without cellphones and simple things were beautiful.

  13. jumpy, I had such a shock! it was unbelievable, not in a world changing way but an all pervading, and subtle way. dont do that again, or rather do just wait awhile until i get myself together again i said. i can’t take too many of these surprises nice as they are. in fact my whole life did change, i am so much more confident, imagine that someone like him could love me and want me, i thought i was invisible but obviously not. not that id go off with him, i love my husband even more due to what the other said, it made me appreciate life, so thank you for what you did

  19. There’s a man in front of me, worried and nervous. He gazes at me with confusion, as if completely oblivious to what he is looking at. He waves his hands back and forth, and observes his body like a diagram. Lastly, he tries to touch me, but he never reaches.

  20. scared and stock still i looked at the sight before me. i saw myself sort of within myself looking outside of myself and observed how i was reacting to what i saw. my heart was palpitating and i could not even speak or react. my head reeled and my hands shook.

  22. The cat was startled when a larger cat appeared around the corner of the house. The smaller cat arched its back and hissed, causing the larger cat to halt its progress. The two cats stared at each other for what seemed like minutes, but only seconds passed before the larger cat turned and disappeared back around the corner from whence it came.

  23. He wasn’t there when I had come into the room, so why was he here now? and what was i going to do? Was he going to hurt me? after everything I had said, he had every right to – no one would have blamed him at all. Least of all me. Now he was getting closer – what would it be?

  25. I was startled when I saw the puppy in my hands. “Where did this come from?!” I cried. No one knew. But Jordis spoke up. “Maybe you can keep it.” I wouldn’t know how to take care of one, much less satisfy all these people who watched me now. “Whatever,” I decided, tossing the puppy aside.

  27. Confused, and unquestionably lost but since you can’t really understand what it is until you’re in the seat, you’ll never be able to recreate the sensation. you wouldn’t be able, you just cant. im done.

  36. I was so startled when I came upon the giant ball of goo sitting there in my refrigerator. Was it left there from a past owner of the house? Perhaps, but one thing was for sure: I wasn’t going to touch it. I called the hazardous waste removal service to have them come and pick it up. But it was too late.

  37. i’m completely startled by you. i don’t even know who you are and i can’t stop thinking about you. startled is the right word…you came out of nowhere and now i see you everywhere. i wish i’d never met you…and yet i’m so relieved you came into my life.
