'Alas! For I am tug, and tug badly.

Alas! for life is as evanescent as
a butterfly, perspiring. All things end.'

... Procrastination makes me lyrical, apparently. x3

Rules:
1. Post these rules.
2. Each tagged person must post 8 things about themselves on their journal.
3. At the end, you have to choose and tag 8 people and post their icons on the same journal.
4. Go to their pages and send a message saying you tagged them.
5. No tag-backs!

1. I am currently in love with the song 'Scarborough Fair', as sung by Simon and Garfunkel. It's pretty-sounding. <3 And the lyrics are gorgeous as, too. Makes me want to write something, but I can't quite put a finger on what.

2. 'It’s not that they’re small, the fair folk. Especially not the queen of them all, Mab of the flashing eyes and the slow smile with lips that can conjure your heart under the hills for a hundred years. It’s not that they’re small. It’s that we’re so far away.' That's a little vignette by Neil Gaiman, to go with a set of stamps that Dave McKean did ... I'm posting it because I think it's one of the best stories I've read, and it's rare to find a story so small that's so big. And I think sharing things like this is pretty much what the Internet is for. So.

3. I'm Christian, and I have this weird idea of writing poetry inspired by the Psalms. Don't think I'll ever act on it, tho'.

4. My novel has gained a chapter since the first draft, and I'm not entirely sure how.

5. I want to live in Wellington. It's cold, and bleak, and I think I would love it dearly. And I've heard it has more cafes per capita than New York. So.

5. The other day I had this Bundaberg (Bundeberg?) drink that was made of peaches. It was called Peachee. It was delicious.

6. I've spent the last half hour intently watching YouTube videos of various instruments made of food (my favourite for sound is the egg ocarina, but the cabbage slide flute is nifty) and idly wanting to learn theremin.

7. I'd quite like a Romanian pan flute, because it's curved slightly and that makes it a lot easier to play - on my TradeAid panpipes the second row of pipes has worse tone because it's harder for me to reach them. But I want to get in the habit of practicing my three darling instruments first. My violin teacher pretty much told me I've been doing it wrong for years, and now I can't get it right and have no motivation to try. *headdesk*

8. I like faeries, and looking at metal, and second-hand shops, and standing in the rain.

I am a rule-breaker. ^__^

  • Mood: Zest

*pokes your siggy* I didn't know that. Fascinating... Do ya' suppose Mr. Death would let me borrow it sometime? 8D
It was from a weird dream I had in which there was ... this hotel with a tiled floor, and it was tidal. Or something. =D And a taxi with monster truck wheels. Yeah, I'm sure he would, so long as you didn't scratch the finish on his scythe. It's /really/ finish, if you see what I mean.
