Books
The Plucker
Jack drew in a deep breath, the smell of dry-rot heavy in the air. With his sword out before him and a tight grip on the red pin, he slunk deeper into the giant cocoon.
Eyes wide, heart racing, he scanned the shadows. Webbing drifted in clumps, forming small chambers, making it hard to see his way. Then he discerned a dark shape and the hair prickled along the back of his neck. And there you are, thought Jack.
Evil.
Am I loud and clear or am I breaking up?
Am I still your charm or am I just bad luck?
Are we getting closer, are we just getting more lost?
I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
Let's compare scars I'll tell you whose is worse
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words.
'Beauty wasn't the treachery he imgined it to be, rather it was an uncharted land where one could make a thousand fatal errors, a wild and indifferent paradise without signposts of evil and good.
'In spite of all the refinements that conspired to make art - the dizzying perfection of the string quartet or the sprawling granduer of Fragonard's canvases - beauty was savage. It was dangerous and lawless as the earth had been eons before man had one single, coherent thought in his head or wrote codes of conduct on tablets of clay. Beauty was a Savage Garden.
'So why must it wound him that the most despairing music is full of beauty? Why must it hurt him and make him sad and cynical and untrusting?
'Good and evil, those are concepts man has made. And man is better, really, than the Savage Garden.
'But maybe deep inside Nicki had always dreamed of a harmony among all things that I had always known was impossible. Nicki had dreamed not of goodness, but of justice.
'But we could never discuss these things now with each other. We could never again be in the inn. Forgive me Nicki. Good and evil exist still, as they always will. But "our conversation" is over forever.'
- Anne Rice, The Vampire Lestat

So, I think it's basically one of the lamest things ever that we haven't talked in so long. What has been up? And where has your interwebs presence gone?
I'll call you tomorrow when I know more about my travel availability.
That sounds awesome! Only problem is this: I work wednesday and thursday, and I'll be on the other side of the continent until monday. Aside from those I will make work whatever plan means hanging out with you for the most time.
That's cool! We'll have to trade tiredness-work stories some time, it'll be epic.
As I said I'll be gone over the weekend, but I'd love to hear from you. I'll be away from comp but I should have my cell, you coooooouuuuld call me. *puppy eyes*
All of those sound interesting... I don't have many plans for summer, I think we should try to figure something out.
Well, until this weekend massive amounts of school. Had my last final Friday, had an awesome party that started at a theater's midnight showing of Ferris Bueller's Day Off and ended about 2PM the next day. Had an awesome, tired, sore, sleep deprived, hungry, painful, painful, tick filled, incredibly fun airsoft game sunday. And now I'm sitting around the house trying to think of things to do. I think I'll make mac 'n cheese...
How about you? What awesome exploits have you been up to that I haven't heard about?
way to necropost, sheesh. But seriously, I'm glad to FINALLY hear from you
I heard about Wodney, I'm so sorry... I know how hard that is :( *hugs*
Life is pretty good right now. I just had a fantabulious airsoft game where I basically kicked ass and took names. Except for the biker-ticks, they weren't so good.
So tell me, what might be happening around the beginning of july?
no wonder you haven't reached me recently, this Matteo bloke has you working like 3 jobs at once... unless you quit a lot and are so awesome he takes you back.

I've been working on a mortar shell design for airsoft, that's similar... though my reaction is endothermic, so not TECHNICALLY a 'splosion. But there's a loud noise and things go flying everywhere, so it's fun.
I'd love to visit you guys some time soon... right now I'm in the throws of last week of classes, so I basically have no life. And some time in June I'm going to the east coast. Other then that I don't think I have plans and I'd love to find a way to make it up to you guys... now all I need is money. :( and time.
well I'm glad you guys had a good time, I hope I get to see some of you soon.
