Beat To Death Against The Light
You've got such a pretty smile
It's a shame the things you hide behind it
Let 'em go, give it up for a while...
Come back in from the rain...
--Jude, "I Know"
WTF was that about? I just feel so bad about things I have no power to stop. For what it's worth, which is nothing, you've got my sympathy. Fat lot of good it does you, but you have it anyway.
Damn. Why does the bad sh*t happen when I'm not around? Not that I could do anything about it anyway. But still.

But down among the reeds and rushes
A baby girl was found
Eyes as clear as centuries
Her silky hair was brown
Never been lonely
Never been lied to
Never had a scuffle or a fever
Nothing denied to
Born at the instant the church bells chime
The whole world whispering
"Born at the Right Time."
Uh-huh, told you "I wish". The Eighties did r0x0r, though ^_~
Walk with me, the future's at hand
Here with us, here where we stand
We both know the power of pain
To get back up and start it again
You hold no place for tears
Leave behind the frozen years
Catch my hand and come with me
We'll go Dreaming
It's like sonic aspirin ^_^
If love was red then she was colorblind. . .
She's saying, "Love is like a barren place,
And reaching out for human faith is
Like a journey I just don't have a map for"
So baby gonna take a dive and push the shift to overdrive
Send a signal that shes hanging
All her hopes on the stars

Skimming Necessity Ends
So--where have I been? Cleaning up in the wake of Catlady's destruction.
No, that's not overstatement. The woman had filthy personal habits =^F The room we let her use is so redolent of animal body-wastes that we're actually going to have to REPAINT it. That says nothing of the trash she left behind, the food she "hid" and left to rot, and the sheer multitude of crapola that's hers that's still sitting here.
And uh, then there's the issue of laundry. Plus dishes which I recently took on, supposedly in exchange for Tenchi folding all the laundry. You can guess how often that happens =^P Add in going along behind Catlady, and I'm doing roughly triple-duty, and it's not like my housework adgenda was light to begin with.
Enough about that. I'm getting frustrated just typing about it. Grrr =^F
I'm still working on that formatting--I haven't even been near the computer in the last five days, and when last I was, it was to turn the monitor off. So I basically haven't started formatting it at all. Sorry 'bout that :^( I got the house (and computer) to myself this morning though, so anything can happen :^D
On which note, I bid you folks adieu ^_^
