  • So Mystery Girl opened the Christmas gift I had given her. No, there weren’t any hidden “maybe-she’ll-love-me-NOW” motives behind it. It was a gift given from one deeply appreciative friend to another. I apparently had gotten her the perfect gift. Seeing the happiness beam from her face was a ray of sunshine in my cloudy life. Being used to dragging myself to class day-by-day and coming back to my dorm alone to read in the solitude, it was truly a breath of fresh air to not only have her company for an hour, but to share in her joy. . . oh what sweet life it brought.


    Aphrodite, how I love and hate thy wicked hand,


    Caressing the hoping heart with sweet honey


    Only to pour poison in my cup.


    Alas, I drink it gladly and


    Deeply, savoring the lie you


    Drip slowly onto my tongue.


     


    A little dramatic, perhaps, but when it is ten after eleven and you want to go to sleep, you frankly don’t give a damn, my dear. I surely hope the sun shines again because I’m barely making it through the forest as it is.


    “I’m scared because it is dark in here, and we may die.”


    To sort-of quote my friend www.xanga.com/siruskane , who I believe was quoting someone else. Something pertaining to brain cells.

  • The full comment is “ONE BRAIN CELL LOOKS AT THE OTHER AND SAYS,  ’it dark in here, and we may die’…”

    How are you Jake?…. later

  • Well, good for you!  And yes it might be dark in the forest, but you have the power at any time to find a source of light and turn it on…  Sure, it’s not as great or brilliantly bright as the sun, but it will help you get through till the sun shines back at you again.  Trust me, you’re talking to someone who has lived in the forest all of his life… If the forest in this metaphorical image is what I think it is.  If not, I need to start thinking about other metaphors! Have a great week!

  • I bet I was one of the only people who knew the artist of the song played between the second and third acts at “Secret Affairs” tonight. Dammit, I need a copy of that song… you know the one. The “call and answer” piece on the piano…

    -The Dude Abides.

  • I knew it was you! lol Love you SO much!
