- @sarahdopp I like your life. Can I borrow it someday? #
- @sarahdopp <feels loved>Doppelganger</feels loved> #
- Just took a peek in my box-of-things-that-need-filing. I am now terrified. How did the pile get so big?! #
- @Snoil Consider it done. The Doom Box is waiting… in reply to Snoil #
- Seriously tempted to wear my corset for reasons of posture. In fact, so tempted I'm gonna do it. #
- It's… not even funny how much more comfortable sitting just became. Guess I'll be rockin' the Victorian look for a while. #
- Reading articles & prepping for @KinkOnTap. We'll be by the brilliant @audaciaray & @reidaboutsex. Star struck? @maymaym & I? Never! (a bit) #
- OK! @KinkOnTap 58 shownotes are ready to go! http://kinkontap.wikia.com/wiki/Kink_On_Tap_58 Y'all can head on over & strut your #wiki stuff! #
- What's that, @KinkOnTap listener? Not ready to strut your wikistuff? We gotcha: http://kinkontap.wikia.com/wiki/How_To_Help_With_Show_Notes #
- A conversation in De Saint Exupery: He – Right now I feel like the boy. Me – I am not the flower, but I might be the fox. #
- Every morning not born out of perfect happiness fills me with frustration. Growth is so slow. And realizing what I lost is slower still. #
- I left the last picture you sent open. Now whenever I toggle to between windows I see your smile and your skin. So that's nice. #
- Also: Signs point to getting sick. That's no fun. At least I'm good at taking care of myself. #
- @flwrpwr_vampyre Welcome to Fallen London! It's a long way down, but perhaps I'll see you around… #
- You can't win, you can't break even and you can't get out of the game. #
- @SaraEileen I remember that poem! #
- Tonight I am making potato-leek-cheese soup. My sense of thrift is pleased to have put the old parmesan rinds into my soup base. #
- Unreasonably late start today due to complete inability to get to sleep last night. But I've got a swingy skirt & the Fab Four. #Joy #
- @vlad43210 Good morning! How are you this lovely September day? in reply to vlad43210 #

Still Crazy After All These Years
As my family and a few people who’ve known me for a very very long time know, I have been writing, largely poetry or poetical prose, since I was about 11 years old. And I still have almost everything I’ve written in that time. There’s books of the crap; and every once in a while when I need a reality check, or very occasionally when there’s someone who seems like they might be an interesting party with an embarrassing lyric history of their own to share, I pull it out.
And most of it is stuff that you couldn’t pay me to reprint here. But every once in a while I go back and I find something that still rings true; and I am amazed at myself.
This, from a decade ago, when I was 14 years old; I doubt I’d write anything like it now, but I’m surprised how well it still seems to fit.
***
I am smaller than I look
And older than my years
I am more careless than my sense of organization,
More carefree than my common sense
I am stupider than my intelligence
And far more understanding than my experience
I am more forgiving than my anger,
Sweeter than my cynicism
And more beautiful than I look
I am kinder than my impulses
I am more reserved than my actions
More resilient than my moods
And more silent than my noise
I am more world-weary than I have a right to be
And more red-head than brunette
I am stronger than my muscle
And weaker than my mind
I am more open than a parachute
And more extroverted than chili peppers or summer rain
I am sadder than a mourning dove
But
I am more joyful than anything

- It's frustrating to feel like you don't want anybody close to you & yet feel lonely. I'm not one for lose-lose situations, but it's tricky. #
- Dreamt of monsters and terrible things and stealing kisses on the edge of the storm. Also, overslept. #
- @vlad43210 Yeah; kind of which I was still there. It was wild and scary and strange, but it made for some nice variety. in reply to vlad43210 #
- Oooohhh, Frankie, my sweet transvestite. You make every day a little better. #
