Ayshela

Last call, i'll be posting these on friday or saturday sometime.

*laughs* now THERE is a true tribute to procrastination! What do i think you should do, or what would i *like* to see you do? for the former, i've not the faintest idea.. for the latter, i'd absolutely LOVE to see you do the Norman Rockwell style self-portrait.. This one.. heh..

Ayshela brings in two birthday cakes this time, one with twenty candles for DL Snake and one with 18 candles for Krista. Setting them carefully on the tables before each of them, she warmly wishes them the very best of happy birthdays.

*giggles hysterically* i may have to change the form of a couple of those, but that should be quite amusing.

Hah, fortunately the repairs took less time and wrangling *today* than i thought they might have. Having graciously received permission from the author of the original story, the next round of Mad Libs are now ready to open: 1. a Pen Member 2. verb (edit: past tense, i'm sorry, i should have specified) 3. colour 4. time of day 5. adverb 6. verb 7. plural noun 8. noun 9. adjective 10. adjective 11. adjective 12. plural noun 13. verb (edit: also past tense) 14. a body part

heh.. Wyvern has done all of them thus far, and would rather like to participate rather than run them. give me until this weekend to be done wrangling with the appliance repair people and all, and i'll open one up, k? =)

Alone Hold tightly, small one, your hands to your side. Or wrap around tightly, your warm heart to hide. Run swiftly - be careful! Don't stumble, don't fall. Don't ever confirm you're alone, after all.

and isn't that almost worse than the original cause of the cuts and bruises - being locked in your head with it all? *nods*

i really don't want to let this slide away without any comment at all - and yet i find myself sitting here with an astonished look at seeing my thoughts and feelings in someone else's words - and i have nothing really to say. i thought i was the only one who thought that, who felt that.. and while, in a way, i'm sorry that i'm not.. it is nice to see someone else put words to it.

There are a couple of lines here which seem forced for the sake of rhyme: and which are most significant in that they detract from an otherwise well written piece. This is difficult emotional ground to tread, much less to write about. The rhythm is a bit ragged, but that fits well with the content and doesn't seem out of place at all in reading through. The only places i'd really take issue with your form is, again, those forced rhymes. Content - you've done an excellent job of pulling aside the curtain and allowing us a peek at the jagged edges of raw, bitter pain. i'd guess you've gotten a lack of response more because of the "ouch" factor than because the presentation is displeasing. =) Just - do please bear in mind - it's not true.

*giggles* happy birthday to both of you! =)

*meep meep* birthday coming through!! Happy Birthday, Mira! *hugs*

17 candles on the cake 17 wishes for you to make come from the shadows, right this way we're wishing you a lovely birthday! Happy Birthday to you, m'dear! Hope it's been lovely, and my apologies for not getting here earlier to post this. *huggles*

Ayshela swoops in, huggles Gwaihir ferociously, and swoops out again. A very merry birthday to you!!

*makes mental note: MUST make pot of tea before show starts, won't get torn loose from the speakers after it starts* =)

well, i suspect that you mean "drivel" in that last line.. but i'll leave all other comment aside for the moment. *g*

mmmmmmm having it in the initiates and up area helps ease some of the concern about turning loose personal info in a "public" forum, but .. .. aside from blood relatives or those who know me IRL through the kids, i can count on one hand with ease the people who know my real name - and not *just* because i hate it. Personally, i think it's an intriguing idea, and i've been hesitantly trying to talk myself into PMing you about it, but it runs red-flags-flying into personal safety issues for me.

so many celebrations, so little time! Happy Birthday to the three of you, hope it's splendiferous for you!

beautifully done. i can hear the music. =)

yeah, i heard the B clearly every time i closed my eyes, and G watching it, and never did hear a D. *blink*

*blinkblink* how do you get a D in that? *blinkblink*

Alone is a choice - in one sense, yes it is.. but in another (and the point i think Appy was trying to make), the *only* person who will be there from birth to death, who will know your thoughts and feelings - is you. Others may know as much as we allow them to, as much as they pay attention to, but there are still things which cannot effectively be communicated and those thoughts, those feelings, those perceptions or misperceptions are ours alone. Even if you live with someone else, at the end of the day you are who you are, even those parts of you which are yours alone, unshared with others and/or unwelcomed by others.

soft, and irresistable. *hugs*

*nods* "no matter where you go, there you are".. and at the end of the day, you're the only one who is always there. helps if you like the company you keep.. yourself.. =)

YAYS!! Happy Happy Birthday to you! Hope it's splendid for you, and only the beginning of a most wondermous year! =) *hugs*
