Lately, I've become accustomed to the way
The ground opens up and envelops me
Each time I go out to walk the dog.
Or the broad-edged silly music the wind
Makes when I run for the bus...
Things have come to that.
And now, each night I count the stars,
And each night I get the same number.
And when they will not come to be counted,
I count the holes they leave.
Nobody sings anymore.
And then last night, I tiptoed up
To my daughter's room and heard her
Talking to someone, and when I opened
The door, there was no one there...
Only she on her knees, peeking into
Her own clasped hands.
~ Preface to a Twenty Volume Suicide Note, Amiri Bakara

I love that poem.
It seems in the new year I am not going back to school, I am going back to Norwich to go college with Riz. XDDD Being dragged even.
And MAC, at long long last, is tomorrow. So many people I want to see.
Going to redo the layout soon, need to decide if I'm gonna just change colours or actually make a layout... I know what it will be like colourwise anyway...
Registered for Toko! X3 And I must begin planning cosplays and flags and all that~ Hahah, mystery. =^n.n^=

Second of all, if the suicide note was 20 volumes big I feel they must be commended for being able to remember what the hell they were doing by the end of it.
