X-Files time...

Finished Elite Force II with little sister yesterday...Kind of cool. But now I don't know what to do to hang out with her. (I'm trying to do that more before I leave this fall, but it seems we have a shortage of common interests).

Tipsy, the mother duck, has laid five more eggs so far in the corner of the garage. We expect more to follow...after all, last time she laid ten. Parents are less than enthusiastic, we kids are thrilled to moderately excited, varying as age increases. :)

Weirdest thing. I was cruising Google looking for Star Wars quizzes when I came across one in someone's blog. I recognized the name in the URL from something, and I was about to look around for a bit when *bang* it hit me. That's James' e-mail address. Is that not the strangest thing? I mean, I'm looking around for something totally off-topic, and I come across the blog of someone I actually KNOW. In real life! Will wonders never cease.

EVEN WEIRDER ~ He's using the site I just moved over here from (YESTERDAY) (it was too complicated. I just want to write stuff down) Anyway, I'll have to leave him a message...make him think I'm stalking him, see what he says. :P (kidding, totally kidding).

Well, for lack of anything else to post, I'll post a poem I wrote a while back. (I've gotten better since then, I promise) And I'm still not sure yet whether I like it or not. If you ask me, it sounds kind of pathetic. Anyhow, here it is.


Anything

So you came out of a clear blue sky
And I don’t understand why you’re leaving
Just when I’ve begun to realize
How very much I need you

And you broke through, and you touched me
When no one else could reach me
And quick as you came, you flew away
On what could only be angel’s wings

And what am I supposed to do
Now that you’ve left me where I stand
I’d do anything you asked of me
Just to keep you here with me

‘Cos I’m anything but okay now
Anything but all right
Anything but happy now
Since you fell out of sight

And there never will be anything
Ever again, like your smile
And I’m broken, ‘cos you’re anything
Anything but here with me

I’d go the distance, walk the miles
If I knew you’d welcome me
But I’m not sure if there ever was
Anything between

And I’m anything but living now
As I go from day to day
I’m anything but smiling
Since you flew away

And there never will be anything
To replace your smile
And I will wait as long as I have to
Until you return to me
