the word nerd

some frabjously satisfying, juicy and descriptive words that i must write down here before i forget!!

Rantipole: a wild, romping young person

Sparadrap: a cloth, coated in ointment and used as a bandage

Limicolous: living in mud

Grume: a thick, viscous or clotted liquid, especially blood

Flemensfirth: the entertainment of fugitives

Frendent: gnashing the teeth

say them out loud, roll them around in your mouth, close your eyes and capture the not-always-pleasing images they evoke. :P

in the morning

today i am comfortably, calmly, happy. temporarily content, the to-do list tucked away neatly in a brain-drawer for once. and the thought that i can leave this sterile cell of fluorescent strip lighting and orderly clutter at noon is a comforting one.
sometimes i think i let people push me to do far too much. i'm too often caught up in a world of others' making, their motivations, their thoughts, their desires guiding me. and this need-to-please that i never really grew out of is far too easily called to the fore.

razorlight:
in the morning, you know you won't remember a thing
in the morning, you know it's gonna be all right

do you remember shouting the words to that song, in that blue basement space filled with kaleidoscopic lights strange accents heady rhythms shot glasses kisses in hidden corners and the exhilaration of three o'clock in the morning in high heels?
