| Sunday: Workout |
[May. 27th, 2012|01:22 am] |
For today, what are you doing to work out? The gym, the training arena...? Running the track or pummeling a speed bag.... put us there, and tag into the all the other people you run into at the gym/Danger Room/arena/what-have-you.
Use the RP tag so you can most easily RP with others! |

| Pets |
[May. 26th, 2012|07:21 pm] |
I have one pet who is really more of partner in my whole Thneed business venture. That would be Melvin, my mule. He's a hard worker and I've had him for...well, forever. I think Uncle Ubb wanted him for farm work, but I ended up with him when they won that settlement and bought a tractor.

"I know the border lines we drew between us keep the weapons down, keep the wounded safe. I know our antebellum innocence was never meant to see the light of our armistice. But how much would I give to have it back again? How much did we lose to live this way?" - Vienna Teng "Antebellum"
When worlds divide the constancy of the mundane suspends. As can be surmised, a portion of one’s existence ceases leaving an internal grave where necrosis and memory coexist. The grief for this can be surmounted only by a positivity that births greater compatibility with the environ. Even so, the loss is never fully repaired. It then becomes a choice of perspective, a choice whether to focus on the loss or the gain.
Do you belong there?
Do I?
In this agreement we together must strive to find a way back while I alone choose to move forward. |

| Saturday: The Armistice |
[May. 26th, 2012|01:16 pm] |
"I know the border lines we drew between us keep the weapons down, keep the wounded safe. I know our antebellum innocence was never meant to see the light of our armistice. But how much would I give to have it back again? How much did we lose to live this way?"
- Vienna Teng "Antebellum"
Character: King Richard of the house of Forenz
I never knew a world before war. I was born into the war and I inherited it from my father when he died. I have seen people, my people, in times of truce. They go about their lives as though braced for the war to begin again. I wonder: is that how I look to them as well? Was there once a time when people walked freely, without the worry of war over their heads? I do not know. I never saw it. Trite proverbs have little meaning for me. I would give nothing up to go back. I am their king. I can only forge forward. And one day perhaps we will have peace, but for now I thank God for the armistice. |

Darren's thoughts on this.
This reminds me of how when I realized that many borders we have in life are not natural. They are just impositions that other people (or as I thought, grown-ups) set down to keep a certain world order. What borders, you may ask? Borders between guys like me and the rest of the world. Borders between guys and girls. Borders between addresses....you get my drift.
It makes the world go round. It provides fodder for drama. But something in me is certain that life could be so much better. |

| Grades |
[May. 26th, 2012|09:18 am] |
I just got my grades in the mail. So, uh, here, some are real and some are ones I've given myself.
Writing: C
Science: B
Drama: I don't take drama. But, seeing as how I'm actually sentient fire and I can go around looking like this? A+
Art: C (I have zero talent.)
Music: C (I have zero talent.)
Phys Ed: F (I refused to do participate and set some netting on fire. Without magic, might I add. Yes, I am that awesome.)
History: A+ (If I earned anything but an A+, it would be the school's fault and not mine.)
Conduct: D (Have you met me? This is an improvement!)
Personal Growth and Development: ...what the... Oh. Here. I'll give you what Miss Sweeny said on mine: "Fritz is a worthy opponent to have in class." |

No Shakespeare today! Instead a song quote.

Hey, is the 100 Drabbles of Summer challenge being done this year? I've really enjoyed it the last two years and was so looking forward to it! Sorry if I missed any announcements about it, I checked the tags and didn't see anything... |
