reverie

I always like Zoe... with the funny little thing over the "e." Jacqueline's a classic. I have a friend named Carlota, she's goes by Carly... Rebecca called, "becca" Madision and Singer cool too. rev...

Can we call her Red-handed Jill? ...always like that one... rev...

Congrats! you made it another year! Here's to many many more... Happy Birthday, revery the dreamlost "if not veiled, then sealed from within..." (Sky Hero's, Sweet Bird of Respose) the dream continues...

good point... I'll leave them disconnected then. In looking over my first and second draft, I see that the 2 couplets stanza were like that from beginning... So you're right, why change them? Hmm... In retrospect, I think internally, I had a sence of hesitation writing this... So the pauses you picked up on prolly manifested from them. I also remember worrying about it all coming out sounding forced and contrived as well... Hmm, maybe in a few years, I'll actually show it to the person i wrote it for... rev...

ya know, i never realized I did that progression thing you speak of with the lines... Sweet... Ayshela, thanks for your insight pointing that out for me. Although, i guess I could have united the all the two line stanzas into four like this: Protégé A reflection through a prism Inspired and intertwined... So would it do you justice? If I gave you all my time… You're a kind of tempered energy Too near to my own heart… Still, I’d wonder what you’d think of me If you knew me from the start… It’s not that I would turn away Or mind fading in your light… Only, I’m not sure the path I see Will steer you from the night… A little bit of me, I saw amplified in you And if you pass, then pass me by… - with your lovely crystal hue - And if the years reverse themselves And our roles did interchange I'd hope that I'd reflect you too And the time wore just same ...I don't know, anyone think it loses too much by doing that??? ...or should I have just left it alone for the sake of progression. considering, rev...

Ah, I remember... something like: " You are my best friend; friend with benefits..." Hmm, interestlying enough, a few months before we got together, my-then-soon-to-be-girlfriend at the time, wanted me to pay especially close attention to the lyrics of this song... I'm a little dense sometimes, so pretty much, I never got the hint. I only realized what she trying to tell me well long after we started going out together... this memory brought you by dreamlost productions rev...

applauds... Great Story, and welcome... revery the dreamlost "streams of things" the dream continues...

Not sure of it's origin either...but, think that the "friends with benifits" thing is so deeply imbedded in popular american culture now, that it might be considered public domain. Still not sure though... rev...

not much to add... but, I like it... Looks like it could have been performed on a stage somewhere... or in a fireside setting... neat, rev...

Hi, I'd left this one unfinished in the Workshop for a several months, and by chance took a second look at it, and decided it as close to done as it ever going to be... Oh well, feel free to enjoy or cringe to your hearts content. 30Nov04 Protégé A reflection through a prism Inspired and intertwined... So would it do you justice?

hmm, i must have been idle during the incident or whatever happened... I don't recall it at all... oh well, welcome back. rev...

revery finally pulls himself out of his sick bed, in time (really really late actually) to send out his valentine to dragonqueen... So anyway, I hereby dedicate this poem to the tall wispy form of the lovely dragonqueen... Talking to Joan The storm swept from all eyes The ancient verve in flame And under lofty skies The vision died in fame If pain still clouds your eyes And spirits tried, complain The bloom in daffodils sigh Still thriving in the strain 'A year and a little more' Have inspired and entertained As sight sends plight to soar In recognition of her name… ...hope you like it, revery the dreamlost "so what if i was romeo in black jean" (no myth, m. penn) the dream continues...

Hi all, Have been bouncing all over the south-east the past weeks and half... driving lots from GA to NC to MD and now back to NC...(school stuff) am also coming down with strep(sp?) throat... My roomate and co-workers got it in Maryland the day or so I came back from North Carolina... I thought I had avoided it... but darn the luck my counsin comes down with it the day I arrive back in NC... So now i got it... sore throat, aches, and everything... ick... plus, i still have drive 7 hours to get back home tomorrow... So many apologies to everyone that I might owe writings too... I'll get caught back up in a few days or so... take care, rev...

:wizzie: Happy, Happy... 21? Cheers. rev...

*claps* I'd say it very worthy of weenie removal, but i don't really have a say in such things... I envy your ability with narraration... rev...

i like it... kinda of stream of conscience, but not really... rev...

chin up young poet... "tomorrow is another day" ...and all that Stand. 31Dec2002. It’s the difference between: My names is…and I AM! The struggle between: I can’t…and I CAN! Why poison the well? In which you dwell. Drinking the milk Of a faith turned frail. Look in the mirror, No, do not look away Accept that the fire Burns up much, in our day. Idols will break And hero’s will waste Mobs will turn fickle And delights will lose taste. But will you let… the bitter fear win. Drowned in a deluge… of those who won’t swim Or will you stand before the waves Beating all back with confindant gaze. Exclaiming a loud. I exist too!

hmm, farely recent IRC #thepen improv: (yeah, i still do those...though rarely) So anyway, there was the trees standing out on the corner of 5th and main... oh about 50 feet tall I'd say. And upon first glance I'd say it have to be an chestnut... but then againt that'd be rather strange, being the chestnut was vitually wipe out by the blight of the early 20th century... ah, so on second thought I decide, that it is a chestnut and i've just stumbled through a vitural time tunnel, that send be back a good 60 to 100 years or so * SB` has quit IRC (Ping timeout for SB`[d8-207.rb.lax.centurytel.net] ) <revery> ...but running into a nearly fully grown chest nut tree in a city seemed even stranger than the whole misplace revery in time thing... so i decide that i'm not only lost in time, but also in space...i.e alternate dimension type thing... not hear's the thing. do I try to get back to my own time/space/reality... where people die unspeakable and horrible deaths everyday for things as trivial as a safty pen...or do I stay here. in a world I know <revery> absolutely nothing about... say for it is glorious enough to still have chestnut trees...and in a city to boot.... aw... utopia at last... well that is, until I realise the the tree was just some new piece of artwork the city had sponcered... Great craftmenship, I tell ya... it had me fooled... oh well, utopia will just have to wait I guess... back the grind

hmm, best guess, written after the 2000 U.S. election. Looks like UBB material in responce to a long, long ongoing debate / rant...though have no way to tell now. Warning highly polictical biased opinions in this... Statements are over 5 years old; no debates please. **warning** all opinion expressed are that of the author and no way shape or form expressed or implied represent thoses of the U.S. Gov't, army or any other gov't sponcerned agency... (heh, sorry first rule in all things... "cover you ") hmmm, nice debate... scatter about as it is... just got referred back to old board by another post and this one caught my attention too for some reason... here's a comment or two... to the AoH kid with the bad grades: well said. not that i fully agree with you, but all and all it was well said. the alliance of honor really is a nice crew though, oh sure they're alittle fanatical. but they make good conversation. Rules and morals are nice to have, but they do tend to follow them to a fault. I've considered myself an even handed mage, and prided myself on being fair and what not. Basically i follow my own code allowing for lots of leeway and what not, after doing a tempory tour in one of their sub-guilds a while back i was hard press to follow all there regulations and the like. Hmm, too open minded i guess... that or not being told what to do... oh well, had a lot of fun in irc though... **shakes his head** they never did seem to understand the difference btw bending and breaking rules either... to all the talk on the election in american type crowd: $%&@ happens... in this case we got stuck with bush... not that gore was that better of an alternative. Out of disgust for those two i actually started listening to nadar... ya know, he really gives one heck of a speech. not sure if he has someone else write for him like everyone else, but i liked them... really, oh, except for all that stuff about cutting the military down to nothing and pulling out of korea and europe (sure sounds good on paper, but it'd end up starting lots and lots of wars, kinda a sensitive subject for me, being in the army in all... [come to think of it, with the republicans in coming back into power, i'll prolly end up in another war{declared or undeclared} as it is so what was i worrying about anyway]) Oh, anyway if nadar did have a speech writing team, i think they should all be elected president. all however-many-of-them their are, even the goth... **sighs** bush does cause a bit of turmoil in me though... sure, i get a big payraise with him coming in...(G.O.P. sure does love their big toys don't they) but, i just don't trust the guy... i mean he get's to pick the supreme court ppl... that some frightening power, ya know... the high court needs to be kept liberal to balance the conservitives in congress... I means those justices are really getting old... if they don't come up with a plan to keep them happy and healthy, 2 or 3 will end up dying on us even or retiring... then big ole' GW get's to throw more conservatives in there... (sure some ppl put in there were thought to be super conservative and ended up crossing over, but why take chances?) is not a good thing... balance must be maintained... cause to have all three branches in one party's view point... is like way too much power and influence... esp. with the divided nation we have... hmm, i predict, (more like a given really) the congress will go to the left in elections in the next two years to help regain some the balance... is not as good as having the courts stopping power, but i suppose the stopping power won't be as needed if the extreme laws can't get written... plus the justices will get the chance to cool some of the more radical liberal laws for a change... and what of the extreme laws already written that need challenging... hmm, it will be interesting to see what kind of america forms from that... to all the ppl going off topic: way to go, tangents rule... to the ppl talking about % n'such in voting: um, i don't know... is sad really... best thing i know to do is start at the local lvl... like volenteering in the communaties, get to know you neighbors, actually reading the "A" section of your local paper in such, that kinda stuff... bah, but who has the time...(senior citizens and rich ppl do, and how) i know i didn't vote either... felt bad about it, cause i really wanted too... but i had a state tax issue thingy, and i didn't wanna have to pay 3 years back taxing n'such... sure i could have got an absentee ballot in my other state, well i could have if i had ever bother to read the texas laws on absentee ballots, so i forgot to registerd in a county of texas as a regular voter, (was stationed there for a bit so what i'm not from there, why would i vote on local issues?) and there was no way i was going to drive 17hrs just to meet the deadline... so i sat this election out... voted in the last one though, yep ya'll can both thank me or hate me for helping clinton... felt good about that one... too bad he can't pull another roosevelt and serve a third term, that would rule... got to admire a man that won't break under pressure, no matter how dead wrong he is... um... yeah that's all i got... take care all.. revery the dreamlost(retired)

~~let's see, I must have wrote this for the UBB Baquet Hall board in Archmage... Doesn't look like it ever got finished though... silly really, since I rarely went on the UBB... Oh now I remember, I never finished this 'cause it sux. (an early attempt at something that never really got going….) The joy that buffy brings… A dreamlost production… “no, I don’t have any more medical type” Brought to by Emergency rooms around the world “ , those kid made off with our last role… well, fred, atleast they didn’take all our rubber gloves this time…” Funded in part by a grant from the S.P.A.M. and T Fondation… (Stress-out Posters for the Advancement of Medical Tape ) “Stiches be ! Medical type it!” Dedicated to the memory of all those lost in the late great canooke wars… “alas if only the medical tape had gotten through, thosands could have been saved…” Inspired by the infinity blue achive(no really, with not so much as even a mention of medical tape… sorry salt…) Apologies to all those assocated with vh1, ascostic vaudville, and buffy the vampire slayer… “Medical tape or Satire, one should not have to make such grave descions in life” Forward… Not so long ago, in a hall, not unlike this one, drewled many a great ranter and ramblar… Their names matter little, as few would remember them. However, in times not too far gone, their presence could electrify all of terra with the infectous insantity that ruled of the blitz 2 banquet hall… Though a few may lurk about, still peeking out of the occasional shadow, heaven and hell hath the majority of them, respectively of course… In the end they proved not nearly as long lived as the great story tellers on the s1 and s2 servers… Nor as vehnement in their zeal as the lengendary demigods of the b1 hall and they soon succumed to torrent of the unending bile sent forth by the evil spammers…average age ranging from 13 to 16 from cananda of all places(go figure)… (**glares, don’t even trying to hide you know who you are**) well for the most part they quit… I hear fur’s still tilting at windmills sort of speak… misunderstood as ever… patients is a virture people, and believe you me, it’s takes one… heh, oh well it’s not important… But for a time, they had they’re charm… In a somewhat misguilded ego trip, heh, I mean tribute to the lost rants I’m goining … oh who am, I kidding… no one cares… **Poing?** **enters castle, the happy go lucky heh, castle, brought to life by the dreamlost in a misguilded attempt to cash in some much needed vacation time in hell… While the went dreamlost was louging in a pool of oh-so-soothing lava… Castle took charge of the dreamlost countries and provinces in b1… This proved to be a fatal error for the dreamlost as castle turned out to be the worst steward imaganable. Who ever would of thought a castle could mess things up so much, in so little time… Holding true to his inanimate roots… roots? Um fondation, well whatever… concepts such as food, rest or even the need for good clean water never enter forvever poinging structures mind, oh yeah that’s a stretch…, Anyway the dreamlost villas and estate(habla espona?) were soon laid waste in ruin, and the dreamlost was then forced to cut short his much needed vacation in hell to see to his newly ruined lands… Well to sum up… he never trusted castle again with such a great duty, and left the not so happy go lucky anymore structure in a lonely hold to puzzle out the joys of wish… “That should keep busy,” he mutter… Anyway the dreamlost then found a more trusting steward in that of a dashing, and brave lad called clumsy-smurf… But he too proved to me a liabilty, when after taking up with the wrong crowd he soon became addicted to grand high archmage tourneys. And soon after commited suicide… but that’s another story for another time… And don’t even get me started on SM-quest… Oh well, but as I was saying here enters castle… the happy go lucky poinging telepathic pile of rubble… personally folks I think revs just hallcinating… I’ve never seen that castle poing once… I think it best that we just play along now, and no one gets hurt… sounds fair? Or at least safe? Okay then lets…** oh shut up castle no one asked you… *Poing, bonce, poing* I said shut up… I don’t know why you came out here anyway… No one rememebers you either, so just got back to b1 with my wish list like a good piece of masonry… Stupid stone, I curse the day I gave you leggs to stand on and wings to fly… **Hop?poing?hop?** What? Oh I know you don’t have legs or wings I was just being metaphorical… now go back to be b1 and leave me alone, I’m in the middle of a comentary… Now where was i… oh i don’t remember… jeez, this forwards getting long… think I should trim it down some… **note to self, forward way tooo long, edit out half at earliest convenience, don’t forget** Oh heck, ill just start the ramble… so without further ado: The Joy Buffy brings (and well it never was written… to tell the truth I can’t really remember where I was going with this… something to do with a spoof of parady of a VHI behind the music for aimee mann someone wrote… oh well… I just keep it around ‘cause I lost all my other early writings dealing with castle… )

chocolate hey signe and co... was just passing through i happened to notice your chocolate fixation and what not... hmmm, ya know chocolate can make you feel like your in love... or for the unromantic in the room, send you off into a earthshattering orgasm... well so i'm told... only problem is it would take about 10 pounds or so of the stuff in one super concentrated sitting... some would prolly argue that the horrendous belly ache you would get from this is well worth it... well i'm not buying it... The amount of celery and lettuce alone that you'd have to eat to counter-act that suicidal low caused by that golden, mindnumbing, cosmic "Carolyn don't go into the light" sugar rush is just not worth it... sure,i know, it's easy to fall prey to the temptation of buying a ton Hershey's finest. It's so much easier than the effort involved in laying the ground work a long supportive and equaling fulfilling relationship... hell it may even be easier than getting totally blitz and hooking with whatever's still standing or staggering around at 4am on the dance floor, or more to the point willing to hook up with you 'cause we all know that the ancient proverb holds true "in the dark no one is ugly" and in your alcohol induced haze you may do something you'd regret or rather with someone you really really really regret... so yes it is easy to slip beneath the chocolate haze. But is it really worth it? Do you really want to end up a strung out cocoa fiend... living alone wondering alone... always alone chasing that mythically fragment of the great chocolate dragon... riding the perpetual snake of excess and pseudo-bliss as you waist line grows wider and heavier with every all inclusive must-need-get fix... **Whammmmm** heh, sorry about that i do tend to go on sometimes... anyway to sum up... chocolates not all it's cracked up to be... it's a tragically flawed treat and is sadly the source of much heartache in this world(heh, didn't even mention the whole dentist/cavity conspercy profiting off the misery of our youth... but that's another rant... i leave that for someone else with more skill... **eyes joat**) yeah... wow, i just wrote a rant... haven't done that in ages... **sniff** didn't know i still had it in me...
