City,

How do I hate thee? Let me count the ways.

I hate thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, and considering the mortal circumstances, it's got a fucking long arm.

I hate thee freely, as thou would take two brothers and fuck up one's head but not the other, so as to put them at odds ( Read more... )

...what was fucking hysterical?

reaping_havoc November 15 2007, 19:57:23 UTC

...Nothing. Nothing was.

Hey, you're back to normal! Great.

theenviousone November 15 2007, 19:59:49 UTC

George, what do you mean, back to normal?

reaping_havoc November 15 2007, 20:01:17 UTC

You...were cursed.

You know how yesterday's curse was sort of if people had made different decisions and taken different paths in like?

...At least your hair looked nice.

Didn't know you were a poet, George.

reaping_havoc November 15 2007, 20:05:45 UTC

I was a poet and I didn't even know it?

Afternoon, Tony. How are you?

darkest0knight November 15 2007, 20:10:30 UTC

It'd say poetess, but then some women's studies student might pop out of the bushes and kick me in the crotch.

I'm okay. A little twitchy. Apparently, if you fuck around with pain-killers during a curse it doesn't just go away when the curse is over. I think my liver hates me.

reaping_havoc November 15 2007, 20:11:52 UTC

Poetess sounds kinda girly, yeah. Stick with poet. Crotch-kicks aren't healthy.

Really? Jesus christ. Should I add another line to the poem about that? I doubt it'll help your stomach, though..

I'll leave the door unlocked. Don't mind the smell.

The original version is much prettier.

I'm going to help you clean up, Georgia. Just remember that this is not my mess, I do it out of the goodness of my heart.

reaping_havoc November 15 2007, 20:27:07 UTC

I wasn't going for first prize in a writing contest. Just trying to accurately depict my teenage angsty feelings of "pissed-off hatred"

I'd appreciate it, Daisy, thank you. And yeah. It's not my mess either. It's everybody's and it's nobody's.

daisydid November 15 2007, 20:34:47 UTC

Perhaps you should explore this further, sweetie, it's good to have an outlet for your rage.

You're welcome! I've already picked out the new couch.

reaping_havoc November 15 2007, 20:42:50 UTC

But I much prefer kicking things. Not writing poetry.

...It's not pink or anything, is it?

Quite the extensive revision, Georgia.

[OOC: Apologies to George! Distant!Niko tends to use full names for everyone except Cal.]

reaping_havoc November 15 2007, 20:37:10 UTC

I think it adds the appropriate spin on things. Thanks, Niko.

How's Cal doing? For that matter, how're you?

[ooc: She gets it from Daisy, her mom, Robin, and others. :D Nothing to fear]

cal_sitter November 15 2007, 20:42:25 UTC

You're always welcome. Relevance is an important aspect of poetry.

All in all, I think things have gone somewhat better than the last time Darkling paid a visit.

[OOC: :-D]

reaping_havoc November 15 2007, 20:46:52 UTC

And it's important to be relevant especially after you're dead, otherwise the whole fucking world just passes you by.

Somewhat is good.
