Forward steps are made by giving up old armor because words are built into you---in the soft typewriter of the womb you do not realize the word-armor you carry; for example, when you read this page your eyes move irresistibly from left to right following the words that you have been accustomed to.
- William S Burroughs (Aquarian)

Eeee! I'm glad you got the package... I hope you didn't get in trouble from work people : )

I can't take credit for the Sarah I think it must be the Don't U Eva single cover. I was searching for pics and it came up and I thought it lovely and had to use it : ) All I did was black out the words 'Don't U Eva'. I did do the back though : ) wif the opacity and the text.

But part of me wishes I could keep it and that story alive.
I think you just did honey : )

I love what you wrote about word armor... a great little synopsis of your families experiences of amour : )

"if I'm happy with myself and secure in myself, then I will be rewarded with someone a tiny dancerr who will be good to me."

Thats how the story ends : )

Nah, nobody said nuthing. It was just behind my chair.

Ahhh, very cool wif the opacity and the text. I like that font very much, curly but readable.

Amour armour ... *falls over laughing* ... good one, why the hell didn't I think of that?

I like that ending. Hear that? "Every time an Ari sings, a parallel universe gets its wings."

Behind your chair? Is that not an odd spot for it?

Hmmm... I don't know why you didn't think of that... I thought it was rather clever : )

"Every time an Ari sings, a parallel universe gets its wings."

Oh I like that *nods* can I use it?

Actually, no. It's really the only spot where something can be placed out of sight of my desk. It's all good.

Yis, well, I may be smart but I'm very rarely clever. *squints* See, I even confused myself there.

Of course you can, you came up with it! Sorta.

That was quite the entry.
"if I'm happy with myself and secure in myself, then I will be rewarded with someone who will be good to me."
As corny as it may seem, for certain people this is true. There are those in the world that are, in my opinion, not worthy of love. You are a wonderful girl, Ms. Aquandrian. You've strived where others failed, in regards to your up-bringing. You learned at an early age that evil and beauty exist in the world. Most people that meet the former, are never aware of the latter. Just have confidence in yourself, m'dear, and keep your pen moving.

Well, I'll plant ya now, 'n dig ya later,
Chris
