this dance is mine

Crowds at the mall are insane this time of year. Just in case no one noticed. :D Still, had fun window shopping and then ultimately spending my gift certificate. hehe. Ended up at Hot Topic and bought the awesome looking Rightwraith & Dark Horse set, and then an awesome dragon bracelet and a dragon necklace. The bracelet is that really heavy almost pewter feel. Love it. I'm so glad we finally have a Hot Topic in town. They have some of the neatest stuff!


Going to go home today and see the family and see the dogs. I need to rearrange the closet so that I can get to my boxes of books. lol. The lady at the atty's office is trying to come up with Dragon names for her neopolitan mastiff, so I'm going to lend her the Pern books to look through. She said they're just now six weeks old and weigh over 40 pounds!!! O.o I should go out and see them before they get much older, she's offered a time or two. *puts on mental to do list* heh.

Cute quiz:

I am Mario. I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble. What Video Game Character Are You?

hehe. Mario is lots of fun to play. No one I know has Nintendo anymore though. lol. Oh well.

I love, love this song. I actually only love a few other songs off of this particular album, but this one is so wonderful it's a keeper. *G*


Jukebox

in the jukebox of her memory
the list of names flips by and stops
she closes her eyes
and smiles as the record drops

then she drinks herself up and out
of her kitchen chair
and she dances out of time
as slow as she can sway
for as long as she can say
this dance is mine
this dance is mine

her hair bears silent witness
to the passing of time
tattoos like mile markers
map the distance she has gone
winning some, losing some
she says my sister still calls every sunday night
after the rates go down
and i can never manage to say anything right
my whole life blew up
and now its all coming down

and she says leave me alone
tonight i just wanna stay home
she fills the pot with water
she drops in the bone
she says, i've got a darkness that i have to feed
i've got a sadness
that grows up around me like a weed
and i'm not hurting anyone
i'm just spiraling in
as she closes her eyes
and hears the song begin again

she appreciates the phone calls
the consoling cards and such
she appreciates all the people
who come by and try to pull her back in touch
they try to hold the lid down tightly
and they try to shake well
but the oil and water
just want to separate themselves

she drinks herself up and out of her kitchen chair
and she dances out of time
as slow as she can sway
for as long as she can say
this dance is mine
this dance is mine
this dance is mine



Ahh. Happy now. *G* Got the color to work! And discovered that remembering the quotation marks are highly important. Duh. Fixed now! ^_^

I've still got my old NES and SNES.

So what're those things you got from Hot Topic? Pics anywhere?

Searched the Hot Topic website, no pics of course. I really dislike their website, it's not that easy to traverse. Found a pic of the wraith/horse, but it's not showing in here. I guess because it's an art pic. Will try again later, think we're getting ready to go see LOTR, hopefully. *G* Will take pics of the jewelry and share when it's developed. Gotta run.
