Bio
I'm just ... me. And this quote, from John le Carre, really resonates with me: "Coming home from very lonely places, all of us go a little mad: whether from great personal success, or just an all-night drive, we are the sole survivors of a world no one else has ever seen."

Damn friggin' fireflies ...

Rate: 5 Flag

So, there I sat. Watching, and catching, fireflies in my hand. And there you sat.

As I opened my fist to watch that glowing insect flitter about, I saw you doing the same; our faces lit with luminescence and awe. 

"These lips? They are ours."

Yes.

Yes.

Yes! I found out that you ARE real.

Heh. Thanks Ms. Julie. Like I said earlier to you (privately), I have been shitting rainbows and puking kittens.

Aw, Nana. But, if we are in trouble together ... who will be there to bail us out? (Trig? Pfft.)

"Better than" I mean, not "being than." Oi. But "shitting rainbows and puking kittens" is now my new favorite phrase. As soon as I can I'm going to spring it on someone in a conversation; I may even take personal credit for it:P

I've often felt like a glowing insect in a woman's hand...and I get in trouble often...but I never could express it like this! Rated
