Three good things about today:

1. Drawing the Yellow Sign all over campus and seeing Karl's doubletake.  That was lovely, truly lovely.  I hope the LaRouchers see it and choke.  Karl, I'm thrilled that it made your day, but it's sad that my chalk scribbles were the highlight.  I have more chalk.  We should meet at midnight and summon Elder Gods to the Red Square fountain.
2. Nothing quite beats having your teacher call you up first to go over your paper, and telling you that she's having you first as a treat to her, because your write-up was her favorite.  That's a warm-fuzzy, hey-maybe-I-do-know-what-I'm-doing feeling right there, and it's amazing.  And it was my Red piece too, which I'm still really proud of.  Have I posted it here before?  She gave excellent advice on it.  I think I'll submit it to Jeopardy next month.
3. Watching Supernatural with Pie and Ginny while I did my homework.  I never spend time with them, and I really want to.  You two are hilarious, thanks for putting up with me trying to keep up.

More poetry, sorry.

Of Wings

As long as the wings were furled, they felt no awe.
Though angels felt joy to fly
and they never rested longer than need.
Above our heads, they never slept long.

As flags furled for nightfall, they came.
We watched their wings fill our sky
and awe stayed our hands from reaching.
They were too pure to touch.

As one they lighted on our town, every roof.
Their shadows stretched as long as streets
and they came for us.
A flare of wings and a missing child.

Awe was their right by daylight.
Fear, they wanted at night.



Superman

What was it like
to wear the icon?
And see yourself in flight on screen.
The great hero
in red and yellow and blue.

I still love your movies.
You were my first hero
when Batman was too scary.
You turned back time,
and I wish you could have turned it back for yourself.
Fifty two.

Mild-mannered actor
Did you fear
vanishing in the myth?
Perhaps that horse saved you
from typecast fame.

I liked your movies more
after the horse.
And the wheelchair became something beautiful.
I practiced what it would be like
to be so very still
and still alive.
and liked it.



And yet another write-up of The Derek Story.  I'm polishing it up towards publication, and would love feedback.

I have realized that I have been putting up with the ads of a sponsered account for quite some time now without exploiting my extra icons spaces.   I need to remedy this.   I need to remedy this with ten or eleven utterly amazing icons.  But I am an indecisive child, and need help.  SO PLEASE!  Recommend to me
