"I told him, you know. I told him years ago.It was at the end of my reign. I closed the final door to Hell, and I told him... I told him that i owed him much for having given me the impetus to go. I told him that there was always freedom, even the ultimate freedom, the freedom to leave. You don't have to stay anywhere forever."- Lucifer, The Kindly Ones, Neil Gaimanthis will be my last post here.

"For me, war has become a flat, black, depression without highlights, a revulsion of the mind and an exhausation of the spirit. In the emergency of war our nation's powers are unbelievable. I have heard soldiers say a thousand times, 'if only we could have created all this energy for something good' But we rise above our normal powers only in times of destruction."- Ernie Pyle, quoted by Stephen

so many beautiful things to talk about, and yet so little time. the hectic shopping for a laptop, the dance which has beautiful technique but no one understood, pasta fresca, then looking for al dente and a wonderful crab bisque, flirting with jazz@southbridge... well, the time has flown. :) be back soon.

this, for one, will not be a post about the army. it is ultmately an interesting place, where you see new things and all, but there is a certain dis-passion about it, a certain pallor that hangs over it. maybe it is because it is in the business of war *shrugbut to escape it, i turn to other things, things more colourful, more viviacious, more... present. because in army, you feel detached, away

back, and off i go again. sometimes, you get scared of things, but then you realize when there is so much out there which you have left unfinished, so much to hope for, it just spurs you on, beyond everything. and maybe, i shall write something, maybe i shall. i would have you not cry again.and yes, bunny fur and bunny meat are two different things, if you ever read this. ;)

so i guess this is it, moving away from where i'd always been and going into the army. in some ways it doesn't feel right, i feel as if it's just another camp out there, another stay outside. but it isn't. i'm going away from my family, from friends, and maybe i'll never come back the same. i went back to vj, to see the new junior class, and i felt so old, as if i was patently out of place. too

"You know why you can't do a Matilda? Because I'm doing a Matilda as well!"and that, inspired from a rolling waterbottle, is the quote for today. ;)been a sedate day today, if anyone still knows what that means. perhaps a mixture of laziness - but good laziness - the kind that you don't mind having once in a while as you just want to get away from it all - and smiles, and laughter, and eye

have to admit, been totally out of it for the past few days, which is not a good thing with so many things looming up. but i guess it just came to a head today, which resulted in me just being in a rather bad mood and all. sorry if i have been surly or just distant the past few days - been in a rut that i only just got out of. from now on, no more late nights. though it might be good for work,

it was an interesting day today. not a brilliant day, but also not a hellish one. just an interesting day.it must have been the rain. i have always believed that raindrops can tell a special story, seen little reflections in them and tasted the cool they bring. perhaps when the rain falls in apparent disorder, each tiny bubble brings back a bt of your past, maybe some small event that races out
