Is it bad form to post more than once?....especially in a span of less than 20 minutes?...No?.....I think you're lying!!
So today at the Normal Review Meeting I submitted 'Splitting Hairs'...which blogger you have not yet seen---and it will probably stay that way until it is published...or i feel more comfortable.
So back to the whole submitting thing--so it was presented all by itself. No other pieces (which doesn't surprise me because of our lack of membership this semester and the pieces that have been submitted so far reek of rancid cabbage cooked in a garbage...and that's a shame because I like cabbage.) So with it standing by itself, I was scared it was going to fumble around like a placenta covered fawn (was that image gross?).
As soon as this beautiful creation of mine was being read aloud, I began to get misty eyed. The poem is about this girl who surpasses everything wonderful in this world...like way past kittens, cotton candy, and seasons of Desperate Housewives on DVD...even past a bottle of Absolute which has decided to dominant my Spring semester. After the first few lines were read, Jon looked over to me with that question in his eyes...yep, it's Lo. It's about Lo. It's for Lo.
When Ed finished reading, Jon looked back at me--we both had tears in our eyes. He misses her too. He said to me, "that was beautiful". The fawn turned into a buck in a span of 45 seconds. Now I hope that it doesn't go off and get itself shot...
So what was it that the doorknob said?
oh yes, feed your head.

wow.
first of all, to "fumble around like a placenta covered fawn" made me l-o-l in the computer lab. turning heads is fun. was that image gross? how can you even ask that? unless today's the day when "gross" is synonymous with "BRILLIANT!"
secondly, you already know how much that piece impacts me, so i won't waste blog comment space. whoops, oh know, here i go. darling, that is one of the most beautiful pieces i've ever read, and the fact that it's so personal to you and I blows me away every time i think about it. i'm so touched that you submitted it.
thirdly, i miss you so much and i am so humbled by your compliments. i don't think i'm better than a bottle of absolutel, and certainly not better than DH on dvd, and CERTAINLY not a combination of the two. but this is your blog and you'll post what you want to (post what you want to! post what you wan to!)
i love you miss reading rainbow
obviously, "absolutel" is supposed to read "absolute." but you already knew that. clever girl.
MORLA! THE ANCIENT ONE! sorry.
i should be smacked on my wrist for having one of these and not checking/posting regularly...
i have NO idea where placenta came from but i was watching this really funny parody of Bambi on youtube that i guess that was reasoning behind it all...
second, if i say you are then you are---punk. when i'm just by myself drinking and watching DH it just shows that i'm an alcoholic with a really sad obsession...
