In the length and breadth of my life thus far, I have never had as many challenges, but at the same time so many rewards.
Thank you, God.
In other news, I watched So you Think you can Dance tonight, and I liked it -- not so much the show and how they made fun of the talent-challenged, but watching the really good, original, dancers....

No poetry today. I'm too tired to chase down the book.
But it's been awhile, so I thought I'd say hey.
It's been nice and warm lately, but I'm not complaining. I hate winter.
What have each of you been doing?
I've been busy at my new job. I still have some booze on ice to celebrate it, and I haven't cracked it yet.

I like the summer. And the winter, when it's not raining.
I found Desperate Housewives similar - the main character was the least appealing of the lot of them. Though not to the same degree as Carrie.

So, I'm watching Sex in the City reruns on TBS since I'm too cheap to pay like $80 for digital cable.
And I'm still wasting my time.
TV really sux.
That's why I read.

I like Sex in the City, but I hated Carrie. Annoying self obsessed bint. She always went on about how friendship was so important, but she ignored everything her friends said to whinge about her less important problems. "I'm getting married!" "yeah, well...I got broken up with by post it note" *diverts entire converstaion over to boring post it drivel*
I'm feeling odd tonight, but in a good way, I guess.
How is everyone?
Lady Of Silence
E. E. Cummings
Lady of Silence
from the winsome cage of
thy body
rose
through the sensible
night
a
quick bird
(tenderly upon
the darks prodigious face
thy
voice
scattering perfume-gifted
wings
suddenly escorts
with feet
sun-sheer
the smarting beauty of dawn)

I've already covered insane. I dove off that cliff years ago. I am only stupid when my insanity gets the best of me. And perhaps there should be no accounting for either, someone is going to pay for it in some form or another. If you tie two people together, be it with twine or contract, you are bound to get some misery. no pun intended. well, perhaps on some subconscious level it may have been intended. Through the remote synapses in my brain may have sparked, I shall make a pun here but it didnt occur within my thought process until after the pun was made. Fuck, Im weird
"'Two guys whose mother was also their sister'" ...?
I just had to address that
There was a chick on Oprah once whose mother was her sister. She had serious health problems. Really beautiful, though.
Yeah thats not something I really care to think about

You think I don't know these things?
I'm really starting to dig in at my job, and it's proving to be fun. I always knew I wanted to do good things in the world, but gettting paid for it? Man, this is sweet!

Better yet, why am I up?

I'm actually only half up. I've been to couch and back several times. Now I'm here during commercials. I haven't been able to go to sleep before 5 lately. I don't know what my problem is.
Looks like your job is going well.

Thanks. 
I liked the very last line of your last entry. I'll email you later. If I can muster something worthwhile.

I love you
For your little, startled, thoughtless ways,
For your ponderings, like soft dark birds,
And when you speak 'tis a sudden sunlight.
I love you
For your wide child eyes, and fluttering hands,
For the little divinities your wrists,
And the beautiful mysteries your fingers.
I love you
Does the blossom study her day of life?
Is the butterfly vexed...

Oh, I have no doubt that they have money; I just would prefer not to be sucked into the seamy underbelly of identity theft. Or something.
And hooray for poetry. I made a painting of the poem that I put in your journal earlier this week and it makes me happy.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Sometimes we have a strong sense of what our destiny is calling us to do, but we don't feel quite ready or brave enough to answer the call. We need a push, an intervention, a serendipitous stroke--what I call fate bait. It's a person or event that awakens our dormant willpower and draws us inexorably towards our fate; it's a thunderbolt or siren song or stage whisper that gives us a good excuse to go do what we know we should do. I suspect that you, Capricorn, are about to meet your fate bait.
noir:
Not exactly. I got a real compliment. And then we had pleasant conversation -- just like normal civilized folks. Then she watched my post so I could go back and eat hotdogs and cookies and watch the fireworks out the window.
How's your weekend? Mine's odd thus far.
E.E. Cummings
who knows if the moon's
a balloon,coming out of a keen city

get into it,if they
should take me and take you into their balloon,

we'd go up higher with all the pretty people
than houses and steeples and clouds:

You've posted this one already. Or else I imagined you did -- which would be pretty amazing because I had never heard/seen that poem before then.
Sounds like your job is keeping you busy and satisfied. I rarely make the time to read. I need to start doing so.
