Ex Libris
I decided to go away for a while on Friday, to find a foreign getaway in a familiar land.
It was beautiful disappearing amongst books, friends waiting to be discovered on spines of all sizes. Three floors of glorious eccentricities to enchant and distract, all lain in and around invitingly warm wooden shelves so unlike the practical steel shelving in the modern bookshop.
A little island of...

fifteen minutes
I was fifteen minutes from where you live this evening. It was already close enough to make me wretched.
So close that I couldn’t help but walk that way, your way in a pathetic attempt to close this yawning uncrossable gap between us that no steps can shorten.
I didn’t make it rain, it just did, appropriately. It was a sad sort of incessant dripping, a bit like the way our...

The Ballad of Reading Gaol by Oscar Wilde
(from fullmetaljackson)
Yet each man kills the thing he loves By each let this be heard, Some do it with a bitter look, Some with a flattering word, The coward does it with a kiss, The brave man with a sword!
Some kill their love when they are young, And some when they are old; Some strangle with the hands of Lust, Some with the hands of Gold: The kindest use a knife, because The...

Relief
I am very glad to finally be too exhausted to bother with any mental or emotional activity.
Let’s be keeping it this way.

If only IKEA had these →
All sorts of kooky and incredible bookshelves. I’m seriously considering ordering a couple of Sticklebooks.
I do worry about things getting dusty though so I’ll probably be sticking to my Billy bookcase for now.

Absolutely Fascinating Really
It’s quite amazing that even stoned out of my mind and not really walking straight, I still type more or less coherently and spell fairly accurately.
This is bound to be a useful skill later in life. If I am compelled to work under the influence of alcohol. Might even be a job requirement if I choose right.
Just need to keep the damned phone far away from me or God knows who I’ll...

Built on Rock
And wouldn’t my, wouldn’t anyone’s possessiveness be justified when it was all in anticipation of that dreadful day when you find that all you have left to offer anyone is a comfortable compromise?
Not a greedy move for empowerment but a wild-eyed act of desperation. It is clinging to the hand pushing you off a cliff and embracing, oh embracing that fist in your gut. Surely...
