Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes.
Dawn light smiles on you leaving, my contentment.

I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines;
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves.

You said no strings could secure you at the station.
Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows.
I walked into such a sad time at the station.
As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning.

I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back;
Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves.

At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd.
Consolation for the old wound now forgotten.
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes.
She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings.

I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd;
Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves.

Unfortunately I was unable to adhear precisely to the rules, because a large quantity of my music is instrumental.

Step 1: Put your iTunes or equivalent on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Bold the songs when someone guesses correctly.

11: I love the way you look at me, I feel the pain you place inside...

13: Everybody's screaming! We're only breathing! Woa oh, woa oh...
14: So you found out today your life's not the same...
15: You never listen to me, you cannot look me in the eyes...
16: Hi, this is Peggy. Leave me a nice message or I'll kill ya...Hey Peggy, it's me...
17: Get your motor runnin', head out on the highway...
18: Desperate for changing, starving for truth...
19: It's always in the back of your mind....where everything is dark...

"Extreme Ways"

Extreme ways are back again
Extreme places I didn’t know
I broke everything new again
Everything that I’d owned
I threw it out the windows, came along
Extreme ways I know move apart
The colors of my sea
Perfect color me

Extreme ways that that help me
Help me out at night
Extreme places I had gone
But never seen any light
Dirty basements, dirty noise
Dirty places coming through
Extreme worlds alone
Did you ever like it planned

I would stand in line for this
There’s always room in life for this

Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Like it always does, always does

Extreme songs that told me
They helped me down every night
I didn’t have much to say
I didn’t get above the light
I closed my eyes and closed myself
And closed my world and never opened
Up to anything
That could get me along

I had to close down everything
I had to close down my mind
Too many things to cover me
Too much can make me blind
I’ve seen so much in so many places
So many heartaches, so many faces
So many dirty things
You couldn’t believe

I would stand in line for this
It’s always good in life for this

Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Like it always does, always does

A tout ce que j'ai vu
aux fleurs des pres et aux papillons,
assis pres du feu, je pense
aux etes passes

Aux feuilles jaunes et aus filandres
des autimnes qui furent
avec la brume matinale, le soleil argente
et le vent dans ma chevelure

Car il y a tant de choses encore
que je n'ai jamais vues:
dans chaque bois a chaque printemps,
il y a un vert different.

Assis pres du feu, je pense
aux gens d'il y a longtemps
et aux gens qui verront au monde
que je ne connaitrai jamais.

Mais tout le temps que je suis a penser
aux temps qui furent jadis,
je guette les pas qui reviendront
et les voix a la porte ]]> ~TheBlueShadow http://TheBlueShadow.deviantart.com/journal/8624697/ http://TheBlueShadow.deviantart.com/journal/8624697/ Sat, 29 Apr 2006 19:54:32 PDT

"The water is deep: if molten glass was never smoothly burning...firey, metalic, liquid sand...it would look presisely as this pool does now...shifting, icey...fathom upon fathom of clear, sun on shadow agua"
"This is an ancient place...phorign Meluiahnaille...the Dreakens name it in sacred reverence"
"There are colors spread wide beneath...are they jewels? swinging and swelling so freely in the deep water..."
"Those are the meluiah...seemingly pebbles, strewn upon the floor...but there is more to them than that: they are immortal , the breathing stones of ages long since past, with memories of times before the humans and even before Rologh-Melure"
"Breathing stones?"
"Heaving, swelling...even singing. In the heavy shadow of night, when only the moon is listening, they sing of what they remember."
"They have a beauty unto their own."
"That they do."
"Upon my hand the water runs with an icey chill, but my heart feels warmer from it."
"Water pure, stones immortal...hearts are gladdened, minds are meld...or so they say."
"Meetho is pleased this morning."
"How can you tell?"
"Because the dapples of light on the water are dancing...and laughing."
"The light is laughing and the stones can sing...such is the atmosphere of a place so ancient."
"Your hair..."
"Yes?"
"It smells of rain...and yet no cloud has passed Meetho's gaze today. Of Lightning...chaotic, seering power... a static freshness that lingers with you alone."
"You smell of endings."
"Endings?"
"As do all mortals...but there is another scent about you, one I'm certain you gained here: warm earth, carried in arms, in hands, strewn over clothes...cast into hair...you smell of attempts, of failures, of triumphs...of the undauntable will to try..."
"Your eyes hold my mind...silver water drenching the pain...drowning the stresses...and your arms hold my secular self...strength from thee soothing...warmth from thee easing, comforting, loving."
"You need not say it, for I will always know"
"For we will always know"
"That this feeling will never fade, just as the stones will never die." ]]> ~TheBlueShadow http://TheBlueShadow.deviantart.com/journal/8615933/ http://TheBlueShadow.deviantart.com/journal/8615933/ Fri, 28 Apr 2006 21:16:02 PDT 1. Made you mad: Mr. McChesney

1) I have a katana named Kusuryoku Inabikari
2) I'm reading The Lord of the Rings in french
3) I relate better with horses than people
4) I enjoy Beef Stroganoff and peach cobbler (but not at the same time)

6) My ipod's name is iEgelloc

I'd put my friend's icons here, but I can't figure how to do it...oh well ]]> ~TheBlueShadow http://TheBlueShadow.deviantart.com/journal/8492281/ http://TheBlueShadow.deviantart.com/journal/8492281/ Sun, 16 Apr 2006 18:12:21 PDT 1) I'm afraid to chew for fear I rip a stitch
2) I have a bruised, swollen face and no boxing trophy
3) I'm getting a free refill of Xodol

I have controlled almost every bitchy urge throughout this entire experience and I'm proud of myself for that. I spent almost my entire Spring Break in a dizzy, swollen, bloodied, drugged, stitched, blender-fed, house-ridden, uncomfortable, aggrivated, pitiful, disgruntled, pissed, tortured, mangle-mouthed, on-strike-stomached, frazzled, infuriated, incoherent jumble that I sicerely hope that I never have to return to evereverevereverevereverevereverever again.
But all in all I'm glad that I got it over with and there are some thanks that need to be handed out to those deserving. I thank my horse Hue for his incredibly warm, huggable personality, my mom for her talent of making over-blended, uninteresting meals edible, my brother for making me smile when I really didn't feel like it, my dad for the unpresidented new 'toy', my watchers and watched on Devart for giving me something to read and respond to, and I give an especial thanks to my friend Jes, who got me out of the house on Saturday.

Despite stolid adversity I have emerged triumphant!

“How many friends do you have?”
“A few, why do you ask?”
“I don’t know…I was just wondering.”
“It’s hard not to in an age where there are so many questions wandering answerless among the masses.”
“You have a point.”
“I usually do…but truly, why do you ask?”
“I was wondering what friends are. Not by definition or what you tell your parents, but what the really are.”
“That is quite a thing to wonder about in the evening light.”
“I can’t help it…it has to do with something someone said to me just recently.”
“What would that be?”
“They commented on how they had so many ‘friends’ that they knew, but didn’t know and I began to think about what a friend truly is.”
“What’s a friend to you?”
“That’s just it, I don’t think I know any more. What I once thought now seems wrong. What are friends to you?”
“Among my kin, in order to become ‘friends’ with another you must be around each other for years, growing accustomed to the others habits and preferences. Then one of you will make the decision to invite the other to sup with them.”
“Why is that important?”
“Food is a crucial part of any being’s existence and to share your meat with another is a demonstration of the highest courtesy.”
“I see.”
“In custom the invited must then share a secret of sorts with the inviter and after that initial confession a lengthy conversation will bind the two as friends.”
“So you must know your friends pretty well then.”
“I do indeed, how else would I be able to be in their company?”
“Well, I associate with only five people that I know very much about beyond superficial traits and general interests and only one among them is truly kin to me in spirit.”
“Than she or he is your only friend.”
“But what about all the people I eat lunch with and talk to during school?”
“I have gathered that food is not as crucial in your culture, so that apparently means little. And yours is garrulous race, so speech is common enough to mean very little as well.”
“Do you think it wrong that I have but a single true friend?”
“I think it lucky that you have that. It has come to my attention that true friendship is a rarity among you humans.”
“That it is and it saddens me at times.”
“I wouldn’t dwell on it.”
“I won’t.”
“Do you truly care for that one friend?”
“I do.”
“Than she or he will always be there for you and that is a wonderful thing.”

“Why is it that you’re always right?”
“Because I reside in a part of your subconscious that considers things with more reason that your hormones allow your conscious mind to do.”

“I’m going to wake up soon aren’t I.”
“Yes.”
“Well I suppose I’ll see you tomorrow night.”
“Or any time during the day if you so wish it.”

“Goodbye.”
“Good luck.”
“Good morning.” ]]> ~TheBlueShadow http://TheBlueShadow.deviantart.com/journal/8322208/ http://TheBlueShadow.deviantart.com/journal/8322208/ Sat, 01 Apr 2006 20:07:29 PST i need some imput on how it flows...thanks for any comments that you might have!

My Late Friend

I am yet to accept that you are gone
My friend of many years,
But perhaps this change is the best for us
For we were so different towards the end.
Your eyes did wander.
Your mind withdrew.
Your opinions from mine did stray.
We grew apart, my friend, and I regret that still today.
Remember the stream
And the racing, freckled fur?
I recall the grey, quilted light,
And the blue spine,
And Guinevere.
Your laugh was such a joy to hear,
A lion’s roar from a crooked smile.
We once did roam around together
Over water and under limb.
We had such good times together.
Where, now, have they gone?
Sleek black dogs
Loping through a rain of pinecones.
Mallards singing and grass carp clapping in applause.
I remember those happy times, my friend,
But why can’t you, is it really that hard?
The organ speaking amongst the stones,
“Praise be to you, born a day after the fool.”
We were so carefree then,
Those times before the fall.
My questions were too much for you.
Your talents set you on high.
My truths did not seem real to you
And your falsehoods made me cry.
You laughed at dirt with your new friends,
While I talked to the wind alone.
They glorified your broad, white steed,
Guttural thunder across the tar-stained desert,
I watched in silence as you drifted away
Amongst friends with deeper pockets than mine,
The hounds bayed amongst the briars
As the numb minded horses carried you aloft,
You had chosen to dance, but not with me.
I waved goodbye, but you did not see.
The scent of chlorine singed my nostrils,
As I rocked wearily to a whiskey lullaby.
I sank, weeping to the ground, trapt beneath my grief
Knowing that you would never come back for me. ]]> ~TheBlueShadow
