In HonourIN HONOUR OF A SECOND ANNIVERSARY IN ABSENCE   
I wore a skirt for you today.  A skirt - not heels, that's pushing a point,  That's unlike me, that is, I don't wear heels,  I don't wear skirts but I wore one today, for you,  That and that necklace you bought me last year because I begged you to  I wore that as well, and it was windy, and they swooshed around me  And my knees got cold and uncomfortable and I was self-conscious and  I wished myself back in my jeans.  Last night I got chatted up at a party.  -Will you sleep with me? he said, or words to that effect.  I thought of you th In Honour

The Yarn CollectorThey called him Auld, although he wasn't that, not really,  Not Auld like Auld Jimmy who sat on the steps  Of the former council-house, shouting obscenities at the pigeons,  Who seemed to have been there forever.  He liked a good chin-wag over a paper of chips,  Or else he'd convince you to buy him his calories in liquid form,  In exchange for which, he'd sit there, and listen to you,  Telling him your stories.  A bad exchange, said some,  He'd con you outta a pint, and never say a word to boot,  A right bleeding con, some of them'd say, but they were wrong.  He knew all the seafarer The Yarn Collector

The InsomniacI do not understand why the darkness is so black tonight.  Blacker than it was before,  Blacker than it has ever been  Or maybe - which is likely - I didn't notice  Before it closed overhead tonight.   
Sometimes the lights spin in my head,  Stars, my desk lamp, the crack under the door,  The reflective blue on my eyeballs  Of computer monitor, unchanging as the hours extend  And the darkness overhead like a canopy,  Above which I cannot touch,  Beneath which I cannot breathe.   
But it is blacker, tonight.  The air is thinner, meeting my lungs  With the smoothnes The Insomniac

Time and energy

Sorry I've not been about much recently! The unlooked-at deviations are mounting in my inbox, I will get round to having a look at them soon, I promise!

Not much time for the writing, either, although there is (hopefully) a decent amount of Interesting Things on the way, but I've just spent the last few weeks unable to do anything but brain-dump. It's October, the nights are starting to close in, let's not get more depressed than we have to be.

So I've been resorting to comfort-writing in all its various formats, [link] being one of them. But just to say that I'm not ignoring you, and I am still interested; also that the Scraps will probably be mounting over the next few weeks. We'll see how it goes. So to be continued, really!

Not too bad. I've got an exam tomorrow though, which is decidedly rubbish. Promptly followed by a job interview. Hopefully i won't screw up either. You got your costume sorted for tom's yet? Gee x x x
