KENNEDY: Irish surname transferred to unisex forename use in honor of the assassinated American president John F. Kennedy, from an Anglicized form of Gaelic Cinnéidigh, meaning "ugly head."

I used to get high at carol concerts at christmas. It's one of the reasons I loved them. Not from anything untoward, amusing though the thought is - just from the singing ( Read more... )

I measure the passage of time in mouldy bread.

 Another journal.  The back page has a list of names and telephone numbers.

Charlotte
Dad mob
Duncan Bristol
Duncan A'shot
Emii
Em K
Hazel
Ian
Jade
Martyn
Mike
Patrick
Penny F
Robin
Will

I can place when I wrote that list pretty neatly by those names.

But who the fuck is Charlotte? :/

 I just found another journal, one that's barely been written in.  There's the first draft of a short poem in a mid the crazies.  I've preserved the line breaks as they appear but I can't be sure sometimes whether they're deliberate or just ran out of page.

No thing is ever known more intimately than by a child.

They name the wrinkles on a garden' ( Read more... )

I appear to be all about the feet today.  Another poem:

I think intensely of your feet
each time I see you
You turned up barefoot
to class that day
and your old toes captivated me

I think I love them still
though I don't know your name any more
or much at all of you

I remember you liked my words
the way I wanted them liked

And your toes
I remember your toes

If I swish my dress just right
                                                    the stars align
the cogs of all your hearts entwine and gyre
and I slot into the centre
                                             (hold me)
Right?

Three poems, for those that are interested in such things.

First was an exercise in defeating writer's block, which is where so many of my poems have started, and like most poems that start that way I don't think it's very good. It got lots of positive comments on the writing forum I put it on though, so I figured I'd chuck it up here and see what ( Read more... )

I am still high and happy and feeling amazingly alive :D

( kinda rambling and unstructured long post about the last couple of days and various introspective asides, including intense detail on my latest kink/Fun Wot I Had At RockSoc (no genitals involved though, I promise :P) just to warn those of you that might find that TMI )

I am finding it increasingly interesting that tramadol can function as an SSRI. I can't believe I didn't know this whilst I was on it, especially given my job, but let's leave that aside for now. It's not licensed for use as an antidepressant, so I at least have that excuse ( Read more... )
