Reading more than one book at a time.
Counter-productive?
Disturbingly ADD?
Who cares?
I've been told I'm nuts when I do that, being that I cannot read one book at a time unless I'm reading it consecutively from start to end. I am curious to see if I'm the only one I know who does this on a normal day-to-day basis. |

Oh the sisters of mercy, they are not departed or gone.
They were waiting for me when I thought that I just can't go on.
and they brought me their comfort and later they brought me this song.
Oh I hope you run into them, you who've been travelling so long.
Yes you who must leave everything that you cannot control.
It begins with your family, but soon it comes around to your soul.
Well I've been where you're hanging, I think I can see how you're pinned:
When you're not feeling holy, you're lonliness says that you've sinned.
Well they lay down beside me, I made my confession to them.
They touched both my eyes, and I touched the dew on their hem.
If your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn,
they will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a stem.
When I left they were sleeping, I hope you run into them soon.
Don't turn on the lights, you can read their address by the moon.
And you won't make me jealous if I hear that they've sweetened your night;
we weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all right,
we weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all right. |

I'm very grateful I am not now where I was a year ago. Whoop de do. Maybe now I can use this as some initiative to move forward with my life and myself. (meh)... I'm freezing my ass off right now but what I would kill for a swimming pool or an ocean. Perfect time for it too.

"Laughter," said Baudelaire, "comes from the idea of one's own superiority."
As for Stranger in a Strange Land
"I've found out why people laugh. They laugh because it hurts... because it's the only thing that'll make it stop hurting." "The goodness is in the laughing. I grok it is a bravery...and a sharing...against pain and sorrow and defeat."
And Another
Humor is the sense of the absurd
which is despair refusing to take itself seriously.

Somehow for some reason, our minds/bodies have been given the capability to feel joy.
"In most musical
instruments the
resonator is made
of wood while the
actual sound generator
is of animal origin.
In cultures where music
is still used as a magical
force, the making of an
instrument always
involves the sacrifice
of a living being.
That being's soul then
becomes part of the
instrument and in the
tones that come forth,
the 'singing dead,' who
are ever present with
us, make themselves
heard." |

at 7:00 am I leave for Orlando. I'm not even entirely packed yet (in terms of last minute items, things I might have forgotten, etc.) The car turned out to fit probably twice what I expected. I must say it was an interesting night. Today started with a haircut (for once in a blue moon my hair was perfectly straight, devoid of any poof floof frizz, etc...though by the time I got home, it looked *pause* bizarre), massive packing and such. I'm grateful for being able to see two close friends I did not expect to be able to visit before I left (yay), and enjoyed a rather(one-sided)-tickle-fight + slurpee party + reminiscence = somewhat tingly but happy to be alive meriperson.
Oh. I now posess a happilly returned $75 leather jacket and one white shirt
I also posess a learners permit.(and horrible driving skills...I forsee driving school in my future.)
Recent stuff: I had a really nice (and rather spontaneous) dinner event on my birthday. I was really happy about this one, my last birthday turned out not so well,...Claudia's/Meredith's and Brian's presents are coming with me to school *grin* (thank you for being there) and out of sheer randomness I'm bringing a butterfly ring that I got off of a cupcake.
and now...off to finish packing the car. |

I jumped in the river and what did I see?
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
and all the things I used to be...
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
And there was nothing to fear, nothing to doubt.

standing in front of you
they fade into the wall
and leave behind nothing, nothing at all.
and no, i don't understand how they forget,
and some will just pass us by and take what they can get
and no, i don't understand how weightless they must be
without feeling.
grasping with fingernails
as they tear through your skin,
leaving no signs of pain,
no wounds to mend.

| Tale of a Dreamer |
[Aug. 19th, 2003|12:41 am] |
They said I was a prophet
I heard voices that no other heard
And saw things that none other glimpsed
Men flocked to me when I walked by
Holding communion with myself
"You are a prophetess!" they cried. "Prophesy to us!
You are a prophet!"
Weary, weeping
World-worn, I went on my way
Wary into the wild world-night.
They said I was mad
I heard voices that no other heard
And saw things that none other glimpsed.
Men drew away when I walked by
Holding communion with myself.
"She is a madwoman!" they cried. "Drive her away!
She is mad!"
Weary, weeping
World-worn, I went on my way
Wary into the wild world-night.
Still I, a mad and dreaming prophet
Hear things that no other hears
And see things that none other glimpses.
Men pay me no mind when I walk by
Holding communion with myself.
Nothing say they of me, nothing they ask
And I am left alone, a mad and dreaming prophetess.
Still
Weary, weeping
World-worn, I go on my way
Wary into the wild world-night.

Yay. Today it rained. It looks like its going to keep on raining. Hopefully this will erase the eau de mangled rat on the doorstep. Ah well, but seriously there's something very healing about rain. It rained early this morning, and everything became all right with the world. But anyway, my friend Jiana is here to take me to Lammas. I am baking my nifty brownies (I have been told repeatedly that no one does them better *ego boosted grin*)But anyhow, I must be getting ready... |

Today was very productive, considering I woke up at about 2pm, and hauled ass for almost 3 hours, yielding $45. But hey, it works. |
