Song For The Girl
This lightning's fine
She picks up these tired parts of mine
Who's carrying you tonight?
She carries me all of mine

Up again, down again, out of your head
When she's beside you you're nearly not so dead
Up again, down again, out of your head
When she's beside you you're always at ( Read more... )

I had a fan-fucking-tastic day today. :) My mom came to stay for the weekend and offered to babysit the girls for a day out for my husband and I. So today we left the kids at home and drove to Bellevue and proceeded to eat a marvelous lunch, people watch (*smirks*), buy 8 different movies we'd been talking about owning forever, and run over to B & ( Read more... )

Restless

Take me into a new place

In my mind

I want to find the corridor

The underground river so long ignored

Hey all. Listening to some Linkin Park right now and loving the poetry and hard edge. It's fitting my mood. I just finished a whirlwind romance with firefly. Yes, I've fallen in love with a show that is long dead. A friend of ours gave us 'the' season of firefly on DVD and we thought one night we'd sit down and check it out. First ep, eh..not bad.

Things are better for me today. I sat down with DD and we talked for a long time. It was very reassuring and I was able to let go of some of my fears in the face of her support and love. She's like a sister to me in many ways and I needed to feel more closely connected to her to feel good about her and B's connection. So better days ahead I hope, ( Read more... )
