The Fair FolkIn the beginning no one knew their name, and no name was needed. They were the fair folk, the sly folk, the in-between folk, with their sharp clever eyes and long clever fingers. They left rings of mushrooms to show where they had been – pudgy mushrooms, that smelt foul when you stepped on them, and this was the right way of things. They took the best of the crop, and the cream of the milk, and the best fatted cattle. Sometimes they took children, and this, too, was the right way of things. Their music could be heard on clear nights, when the stars seemed to pierce the sky with their sharp brightness.

Hey McFlyRain is like grease, in that it always ends up where people don’t want it to, and smears light. It beat against the window, soft and almost soundless, like the tap of a cat’s paw, though cats are far too sensible to climb all the way up to the penthouse suite of the apartment flat merely to tap on the broad wall-to-wall window. The wind and rain, this high up, gave the very strong impression that it would like nothing better than to rip the building to shreds, shatter the glass, rend the concrete, drip slightly anticlimactically off the edge of broken pipes. It wanted to get in. The small, awkward little creatures that built these s Hey McFly

IronIt was raining again, soft and quiet, as unsteady and merciless as the last gasps of a baby held underwater. Cars, little bubbles of deceptive warmth, rolled over greasy slicks in the road. They made Luis feel better. Safer. Wasn’t that strange? Such cumbersome machines, but they made him feel safe. All that iron, like a shield of thorns, impassable to faeries. But not all that impassable.   
Goat-footed Mabry’s house, which he and Dave were living in, was a good enough house, as houses went. Still, New York winters were cold and damp and the water always got in somehow. It was like faeries that way. Always where you didn& Iron

Lovely DayIt's not a dark night,  I'm afraid to say.  There's not a storm in sight,  And it looks to stay that way.  And while I know it's true  That there's nothing I can say  And there's nothing I can do,  It's a lovely day.   
Oh, the birds are singing,  The bees are buzzing,  The grass is greener than Envy's eyes.   
The flowers are blooming,  The shrooms are mushrooming,  And nothing is bluer than the deep blue skies.   
It's not a dark night,  I'm afraid to say.  There's not a storm in sight,  And it looks to stay that way.  And while I know i Lovely Day

'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. ^__^

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.
