EO had two pencils in his nose, 
His underwear on his head, 
Most people brought food along, 
he threw up instead. 
He bounced around the walls and ceiling, 
Then began to float, 
Until two men broke up his fun, 
And put him in a white coat.  

Sorry - how could I miss you?    

Cheers from the Land of Oz   

The day
when I die
I am the circle
then the completion
of a thought
thought long ago
by a being
I have never known
but meet today,
This leaves me
with a thousand
different strands
of finalities
questionably unrealized
The foremost being
Why, when I am one
Do I dream?
I am thought
and I think
so a thought complex
verging on the brink
of forging my own reality
through a simple mechanism
seemingly self-created
at the least self-designated,
I dream and envision
then build upon foundations
laid millenia before
by the same being
who thoughtfully engendered
me in my complexity
to satisfy the urge
for creativity to break away
that tiny speck of dust
at the center of my universe
that one small thing
my universe can’t be without
that deceptively oh so necessary
element which binds
the individually useless fragments
of ethereal and corporeal substances
into one universal
me

"Five"

"Five"

Set five personalities in a blue glass bottle
Shake vigorously for half a second,
Smack the bottle against the nearest concrete wall,
And this is what you'll get.

One soul with a bruised head from hitting the blue glass,
One soul trying to find a band aid, and
Three souls arguing about whose fault
The collision was.

Regardless of the fact
That all five entities were inside the bottle,
Could not have been the ones to smash the bottle but
Are only the victims of the blue glass shards.

Please...haven't we
Enough splinters in our souls already?
That we needn't gash one another with whatever
Pieces of the bottle are still lying about?

Instead, should we not focus
On the rebuilding of the great village
Which lies within the bottle? Never
Should said village be destroyed over petty quarrel.

I've a fairly good idea of what went on (at least, over the board) last night, even though I wasn't
around.. I was very, very saddened to wake up and find posts as such below after having been gone less
than a day. Guys and gals, aren't we friends here? In my book, 'least, you don't make personal
attacks directed towards anyone if you can help it (re: EO's post, which I did see before it was
removed), and DEFINITELY NOT towards your *friends*. (re: *Several* of the posts from last night). I
luff each and every one of you, and I don't want to sound high and mighty here, or condescending,
or anything like that... But I think that the whole thing was blown out of proportion by everyone
who participated in the multiple threads. From my point of view as a bystander, I just want to say
this: We all, whether we were involved last night or not, need to stand back and take a deep breathe
and look at the village around us and realize that everyone else here, whether we particularly like them or
their methods are PEOPLE JUST LIKE OURSELVES.* People make mistakes from time to time, and you cannot hold
that against em. And even if you do decide someone has done something terribly wrong that can't be left
unmentioned, at least have the RESPECT that god or whatever maker you believe in gave to you and don't
*attack* them. Take things diplomatically, and as Shiny I believe pointed out, use might FOR right,
not might makes right.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean this to be a full out rant, but it turned out that way. I'm really upset by
this, more because I had a strange ideal that as villagers we didn't get into sessions of petty bickering,
or that if we did, we were able to let it die before it morphed into anything huge. I'm sorry also cuz
I realize that this post is furthering the discussion and therefore counts as Not Letting It Die.
I'm not sorry, however, for having my opinion here, because I think that a) I posted in a way so as
to not overly offend people, and b)Opinions are important.. even negative ones, so long as they're
presented in a non-aggressive manner.
*weak hugs* =( Luff ya'll.

Cake

Sweet, soft and chewy
The chocolate tastes so good
Hey, where did it go?

The Tea room at the end of my closet...

The Tea room at the end of my closet... To the Unwashed Villagers...*Grin*
Not yesterday or the day before
I walked into my room
Looking for a place to hide
From all upcoming doom

Underneath the bed was small
The dresser drawers, well, no
And then I knew, quite suddenly
Of just the place to go

I opened up my closet door
Wide enough to see
Deep inside this cosmos
A room made just for me

A refuge from the outside world,
It keeps me safe and warm
Books and Tea, and cookies too
Nothing here can harm

So if you ever find a time,
You need escape, from doom and gloom
Go to the end of my closet
And share with me, my own tea room

Why I Like Navarro (A Dramatic Poem)
In Navarro, there is so much to kill
Wiping out Enclave scum gives such a thrill.
Play it safe, and from them you will rob:
Advanced power armor, plasma rifle, and FOB.
From those saps in the hangars, you'll get vertibird plans
Deliver them straight to the Brotherhood's hands.
If you kill them all, much experience you will get,
If you play it right, and you won't even get your feet wet.

Thank you. :-)

Rejection has been,
A thing I found so dear...
More reliable then you,
As I drink this glass of beer...
You don't even know,
What kind of feelings that I've got,
I feel I work on change,
Drop a quarter in the slot...
I need to hear you talk,
And I need to see your face,
But you dont know me now,
And now I'm in last place...

Ya know...

I used to fall in love,
With everyone I met...
But now that I've met you,
I'm a completed set...
You think I'm just pal,
And you think I'm just a friend,
But the time to wait is through,
Please don't play pretend...
I want you to notice me,
Cause I yearn for your approval...
Please don't disregard me,
And bid for my removal...

Wake Up,
Please now...
I'm not a child anymore...
I'd catch you,
If you fell...
But now I'm on the floor...

Wake Up,
Please dear...
I'm not a friend anymore...
I want you,
Now that I,
Have become something more...

We played games as kids,
Like Life and Monopoly...
But now I'm three spaces back,
With $2000 dollar fee...
It's quite expensive,
Just to fall in love today...
I might have to pawn my heart,
Just to hear you say...
"I'm glad we're such good pals,
But you know I'm engaged..."
I am so helpless,
I cry and am enraged...

Ya know...

I used to wonder about,
Fate, Death and Life...
I learned my lesson,
Cause you filled it with strife...
I didn't know what I saw,
That was so precious in you...
But now I dont have a heart,
And my love is in two...
I think I should go now,
As I leave with a sigh...
But now I wanna find a place,
To curl up and die....
