He’s a super fighter,
If a bit arrogant.
Kinda spoiled,
But can get things done when the occasion calls for it.
My new puppy is kinda spoiled, too.
But that’s not why I named him after this character.
It was because of the colour of his collar.
You can’t see it in this picture, but it’s purple.
Same colour as the hair of this anime fighter.
Okay, I just wanted an excuse to post pic of my puppy. :D
a very happy unbirthday to me
azure tongues of fire
quiver in rum-and-tea-tainted
breaths heaved between
slurred verses of unbirthday tunes,
drops of emerald wax spotting
buttercream icing like grass-stains
on young, clumsy knees
the dull ache behind my eyes
is fed by the sharp clinks
of teacups on saucers and
drunken guffaws, so grating
i’d much rather be serenaded
by the Red Queen herself
i allow my ebony topper
to drift past my brow, sparing
my eyes from further agony,
as i escape to manic
(and much-preferred)
fantasies of my mad mind’s crafting
the warbling slows to a whisper,
the stamping of feet is silenced,
and my lips can’t help but
one meager smile at
the glorious tranquility
of insanity
unacceptable
“different”
“weird”
“crazy”
rings around my ears.
but i don’t
quite hear it.
swishing skirt.
ukulele digging into my back.
tiny pink nose
poking out from
golden flower.
they glare.
i smile.
they don’t
seem to see
that all these things
make
me
me.
blinded by what they think is
"right".

it's me

I was a child when I entered a new country.
All through my life I have been a child at heart,
And that has saved me.
I have thawed winters,
And revived the dying.
My reign was golden.
I was nearly a lioness.
I sailed to the edge of the world,
And I have spoken with stars.
No one has felt a parting as painful as mine,
But no longing hope burned as brightly,
For the day when I would see You again.
Guess who?
I admit it, I'm an old, grumpy, miserable bastard, but you would be too if it happened to you.
We were joined at the hip, growing up, (not literally), me and my brother but we started to grow apart when we got older until that day... The day of the blowout... The day I lost him.
So, now I'm stuck here, trying to figure a way of getting him back, but I put my talents to good use. I turned his old woodland shack into a store.
There's a lot of weird things in the world and I can fake anything. Mermaid skeletons, Sasquatch footprint mouldings, werewolf pelts, my store's full of crap like that.
*sigh* And yesterday, I got a letter from my nephew. He wants to send his bratty little twins up here for their summer vacation.
I'm sure it'll be hell but I suppose I could put them to work in the store.
Oh well, it's not like it's the end of the world.
Girl Power
Rule #77
Here we go again.
Surrounded by boys, where are the men?
Oh lordy please help me!
One to the left and One on the right
Two behind me... that ain’ right.
I’m going up the creek without a paddle
I’m a daisy if I do and a daisy if I don’t
No more saddles. Yeeehaw
It’s alright, I got this, I got my hand and
my mouth all I gotta do is give a little whistle
and they come running. My boys, they got me.
Elli Mae’s got nothing honey. She’s gotta
granny. Like I said from the beginning,
I’ve got a boy in every pocket, plus some.
All I gotta do is give a Whistle.
Y’all Boys Come runnin’?
When you’re the only girl around it’s easy
having them wrapped around my little
finger. Everyone just wants some good lovin’
One to the left and One one the right
Two behind me... that just ain’t right.
Athena.
