I wish I could say I wrote it, but full credit has to go to Mr. Silverstein! My poetry tends to be a bit more long-winded and... emotional. Okay, angsty. Not always angsty, but... Yeah, I'm not Shel Silverstein.

You don't have to admit to it, just don't claim it thereby leaving everyone else to wonder at its, and your by assumption, excellence!

Ignorance is bliss... and allows you the space to dream!

Good morning Forsaken!

What a way to end a boring week. It is raining and about 42 degrees here and it is very depressing.

Mornin' Forsaken.

* wanders around the pyre, staring vaguely into it *

I was late to work today, got here at 0800. Gotta work through midnight tonight.

* sits down, kicking his shoes into the dancing flames *

Apperently it's not getting above 25 today here today, which is a goodness.

* falls over asleep by the pyre, mumbling more incoherancies in his sleep*

I drank an extra one for you last night Redlava, I think it and it's 2 brothers are the reason for my aforementioned lateness to work. South Carolina put up a damn good fight.

It's really funny because I've never talked to the guy that's into me, so I don't even know who he is really . . .at all. I vaguely remember him from my friend's bday, but that's it. And my other friend really wants him. It's really just hilarious . . .

Good morning and happy Big Damn 'Versary!

Down here in Oz it's already saturday, and I kicked off the big day by watching free-to-air TV. Namely, seeing A Knight's Tale, with everyone's favourite pilot sporting bright orange hair and a thick english accent.

Thanks, JIAG! I'm trying to be more inviting iwth the threads. Don't think it's working, though. I already know what I'm going to call the next one

Just hope I don't forget.
Well, I bought my copy of the movie, I bought food, still didn't get everything I wanted to get done, and now I should really be in bed but I slept in and I'm not tired, I'm all antsy.
Time to DANCE!

And I think I'll make another quick image for bigdamnthankyou.

This one seems to suit:

Dance within the fire
Burn my life away
Feel the life of fire
Blood burns through my veins

Sing the fire fantasies
Fly within the flames
Awake, gold and shimmering
Soaring sparking names

Let me burn eternally
Forgotten fire stars
Purify my golden voice
Fluting from afar

Burning sparking wonderment
Dance upon the air
Feel the fire take you
Beauteous and fair

And really, I am really going to bed now. I made a totally over-complicated image for bigdamnthankyou and it took forever and I'm not sure it wouldn't have been better if I'd just kept it simple. It's one o'clock and I have to get up in six hours. Doom.
