today's my sister's 20th birthday! she was born 20 years ago. i barely barely remember it. i was almost 4 years old, and i was too little to be allowed to hold her. that's about all i remember.

today's adventure was going up alone, during rush hour, to the University City area and check out this used bookstore/video game/other stuff place called the Last Word. it was pretty great! i actually picked up a copy of the first Age of Fire book that they had lying around, because it matches the rest of my set - my copy of the first book is a different size and looks dumb but now they all match eyyy! And I picked up a DVD of the movie Contagion because... well, not that it was that good a movie but i have a legit movie theater poster of it and the ticket from when i went, which i intend to get framed eventually, so it feels right to have the actual movie lol. haven't seen it since that one time, after which my friend [who eventually became my roommate!] who worked at the movie theater there got me the poster when they took it down out of the window. so yeah. i have a weird little relationship with that film lol. and i also got jimmy john's again because i'm a weak man >_>' that is not about to become the new jack in the box. nope. i'm sorry it's just one of my favorite restaurants and it's actually around here where i live now and doesn't take forever to drive to!!! even though they keep putting cheese on my subs when i ask for no cheese!!!

so ya. now i'm home and gonna relax a little bit. work was a lot better than expected last night, and hopefully tonight will be chill like mondays usually are, so then i can begin my weekend in peace! [chill, not chilly Poe :PPP]

also the weather is freakin BEAUTIFUL THANK U BASED NATURE

ya that's really it for the most part. among a million other things i need to do [to include taxes, paperwork, getting my car fixed and figuring out some kinda storage solution for my room so we're not stumbling around boxes forever], i need to do more arts. almost two weeks in and i've barely touched my art supplies! time to work on that!

song of the night

Daddy please, hear this song that I sing
In your heart there's a spark that just screams
for a lover to bring
a child to your chest
Who would lay as you sleep,
and love all you have left
Like the boy you used to be,
long ago wrapped in sheets warm and wet.

Blister please, with those wings in your spine
Love to be with a brother of mine
How he'd love to find
Your tongue in his teeth
And struggle to find
secret songs that you keep
locked in boxes so tight,
sounding only at night as you sleep.

In my dreams you're alive and you're crying
As your mouth moves in mine, soft and sweet!
Rings of flowers 'round your eyes and I'll love you
for the rest of your life, when you're ready!

Brother see, we are one in the same
When you left with your head filled with flames
And you watched as your brains
fell out through your teeth
Push the pieces in place,
make your smile sweet to see!
Don't you take this away,
I'm still wanting my face on your cheek.

And when we break,
we'll wait for our miracle
God is a place where some holy spectacle lies
When we break
We'll wait for our miracle
God is a place you will wait for the rest of your life.

Two-headed boy,
she is all you could need.
She will feed you tomatoes
and radio wire
And retire you to sheets safe and clean...
But don't hate her when she gets up to leave
