just 'cause I've always loved this poem...
Premier jour
Des draps blancs dans une armoire

La ville dans la nuit
La mort dans un cri
Et l'enfant dans la vie.

Lesley Downer

lj changed my layout...
so, I changed it to something else.
Here's the thing, though-- I used to have 2-- one for my journal, and one that I saw when I was viewing the friend's page. Is that still possible? Does anyone know how to do that?

First of all, to all who were concerned about the emo-ness of the last post-- don't be. I am obviously still alive. Any real suicide post from me would be long, contain multiple arguments and foot-notes about right-to-die issues, and, in a gesture of my occasional melodrama, probably end with the words "goodbye, cruel world." I'll leave you to ( Read more... )
