Good thought (it is two for five) but no.

[grue23.livejournal.com]

theme: praying/hoping for things [that were once good] to get better/return to the way they were

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

Not what I was going for. It might be a secret hidden theme, though; I'd have to see if (a) fits.

[grue23.livejournal.com]

theme: waiting

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

No.

From the convoluted to the basic? But no.

[luvmoose.livejournal.com]

This theme is like your job: being in situations that you hate and want to get out of.

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

Interesting thought. But still no.

You're all dancing around a very similar set of ideas. You're also all way off.

I have no idea about the theme though.
