I'm just a curbside prophet with my hand in my pocket and I'm waiting for my rocket, y'all.
Jason Mraz is one of the few people who I think can sound really good saying "y'all." Oh, but often times those words get tangled up in lies and the bright light turns to night. Well go make your next choice be your best choice and if you're looking for a girl with a voice, well, baby, I'm single. 'Cause you're about to get cut up and get cut down. After this, the unavoidable kiss with the minty-fresh death breath sure to outlast this catastrophe.

Goddammit, I feel like writing. And with Livejournal, Jason Mraz and the Jesus action figure with water-walking action as my witnesses, I shall do just that. It'll probably be set in my fictional town of Ceton's Cross, 'cause that's what I've been preoccupied with most. Ceton's Cross and the conformist pleasantness of the early to middle twentieth century. Plus, the town is a small country junction town grown into a small but autonomous town around 1900 somewhere in middle North Carolina. Yes, I have seen Pleasantville. Great movie. No, Ceton's Cross isn't a ripoff of Pleasantville, just another embodiment of comformist pleasantness. And if anything, it's as much a ripoff of Leave it to Beaver as Pleasantville (in other words, not.) As for Ceton's Cross' own story, that has yet to be written and then you shall find out by reading it. Mmm-hmm. *nods*
I went to a poetry reading at the Mudhouse on Friday. It was cool.
And I'm fighting the Night Elves on Warcraft III right now. They're annoying as hell, but the level I'm on right now is easy if you survive the original onslaught which comes like two seconds after the game starts. I have one more base (of three) to obliterate and then I can kill their little demigod. And Chaos Orcs pwn. Not to mention that Chaos Peons are adorable. And Blademasters are fun to play with. And the Warcraft Map Editor is soooooo much better than the Starcraft one. Honestly, the thing has a fucking object editor! You can completely customize everything. You could make a pig who floats way far off the ground but can't actally fly (and thus can't cross trees and whatnot despite being way high above treetops.) Or an Orcish peon who is 500 metres tall but has 1 hp and can't attack. Or an Orcish peon who is 5 millimetres tall and can kill every unit on the map with one spell, which it can perform 999 times. I love this thing^^.
My mom studies Native Americans as a hobby. She studies their cooking, their architecture, their clothing, their being slaughtered, etc. What she doesn't study is their mythology and spirituality. The aspects of Native American culture which, in most cases, influence everything else. God, she's so...grounded. Too grounded. The only fiction she ever reads or watches is straight up non-fantastical in any way fiction. However, I think there's redemption for her. She loved The Incredibles. We just have to work on that foundation and we might be able to get her to where she's at least a little imaginative.
And with that, I leave you with this thought: Dolores O'Riordan is sexy as all Hell. Not just hell, or a little bit of it. ALL Hell. Capital 'H', too. And she has an Irish accent. What in existance is sexier than a singer who is sexy as all Hell with an Irish accent? If you compare pictures of her, you'll find that she looks cute in whatever hairstyle she's in, too.
