A few things that wanted to be posted.

"Don't try to talk me out of what I feel. Don't try to move me along toward where you think I ought to be. Sometimes I'm despairing. Come in here with me. Sometimes I'm optimistic. Come hope with me. Maybe I'm denying the truth. Tell a bald-faced lie with me. Sometimes I'm wallowing. Get in there with me and get dirty, too. I don't need a scheduler. I need not to be alone where I am."

"Listen to a woman when she looks at you, not when she speaks to you."

"Men and women can only find love after a sad and revealing separation, bitter patience, and desperate efforts."

"A limited love wants to posess the beloved being, but he whose self is a vast ocean only seeks his own shores."

- Kahlil Gibran

In your light I learn how to love.
In your beauty, how to make poems.

You dance inside my chest,
where no one sees you,

but sometimes I do,
and that sight becomes this art.

and something utterly different...

Went out tonight unexpectedly to see The Naked I: Beyond the Binary at UMASS. Jesse and Shepard were performing in it, and I was really glad for the opportunity to go and support their efforts. Had to run out once or twice to stave off a coughing fit, but I got through most of it ok. The show ran a bit long, but it was really good. If Kiernan hadn't called to see if I was going, I would probably have just stayed in bed and slept more. They came and picked me up, really cool of them, since I'm still a bit out of it. Ran into Dave, hopefully we'll all find some time to get a game of Jyhad together in the near future. :) Jesse turns 21 at midnight, so they were taking him out.. hope they all have a great time. Damn, but he looks hot in that red dress. *sigh*

Stayed in bed pretty much all day today. Lots of strange dreams as I slipped in and out of consciousness. Too much coughing, all my abdominal muscles are really mad at me. Hopefully, I'll be better tomorrow for work than I am now. Still running a low-grade fever, have been for 3 days now. I don't feel like it's serious enough to merit an expensive physician visit, though.. just my body pushing this thing to run its course and leave me be.

Not sure if I'll go watch some Star Wars with Aaron or follow my wooziness back into bed. Another cup of tea, and we'll see.

Later.
