LJ Idol Season 7 Week 16 - Be Like a Bird

[walkertxkitty]

o/` " Be like a bird, who, halting in her flight
On a limb too slight, feels it give way beneath her;
Yet sings, sings, knowing she has wings;
Yet sings, sings, knowing she has wings. o/`

-- "Be Like a Bird" performed by Libana, adapted from the poem by Victor Hugo

"I don't think I need this piece of junk," I said and crumpled the paper in my fist. I tossed it high in the air to Diagenou, who snatched it with his left hand and then slam dunked it into the wastebasket at the server's station.

This is awesome. You totally double teamed it, but good!

It's hard sometimes not to think of myself as a giant collection of diseases. For a while, it was a good explanation of how things were with me but lately I've found myself using those things as excuses without really trying.

Not what I want to do. I'm now trying to focus on the things I can do and finding new ways to do things instead of worrying about the things I can't do or the things I can't change.

Dee, of course, approves. It's partly because of him that I've been looking at these things.

Hurray! What's the saying? Get busy livin' or get busy dyin'?

I don't know if that's entirely apropos, but I'm glad you're going to be out there living. :D

I don't think I have a choice. Dee has said he'll hunt me down and kill me again if I do otherwise.

Besides...it's spring. The garden looks lovely. The birds are mating...and the blackberries have blooms which means if the black bear will share, I get some of the loveliest wild fruit there is.
