Another bit added by me:

Who is your favourite character in anything ever?

Mine: Severus Snape, Samwise Gamgee, Lex Luthor, Geoffrey Chaucer, Jack Sparrow, Spike. In that order.

Okay, last night was really fun, but it didn't go very late. We had vodka and chocolate and I found Tim while shopping in my pyjamas. Mostly we played boggle.

Today I woke up feeling sick, rolled over and went back to sleep. Spent the day with a cold--not enough to make me really ill but enough to stop me from concentrating and mostly just want to sleep a lot.

naughtyevil is gorgeous.

The kid they got to play baby!Lex really looks like Mike. Also, that show on ABC about Arthur Conan Doyle that was on tonight is cool.

Link of the day is Smallville Videos by Sisabet and Luminosity. I love Without You I'm Nothing so much, I've watched it about 100 times since I downloaded it Friday. Beautiful. Mike is the most intense actor.

Pics of the Day. Elijah (some from his new soccer movie whose new name I dislike) and a gorgeous one I hadn't seen of Michael Rosenbaum in drag in Sweet November. He is so damn pretty in that. I hope you all liked my earlier picspam too.






So. Much. Blue.












He just looks vampiric.




I cannot figure out what's going on in this pic, but Charlie + Elijah = hot.




VAMPIRE! Only, like, the least intimdating vampire in history.










So damn pretty.

Without you I'm nothing

my favorite poem. :D

(from Twenty-One Love Poems)

II

I wake up in your bed. I know I have been dreaming.
Much earlier, the alarm broke us from each other,
you've been at your desk for hours. I know what I dreamed:
our friend the poet comes into my room
where I've been writing for days,
drafts, carbons, poems are scattered everywhere,
and I want to show her one poem
which is the poem of my life. But I hesitate,
and wake. You've kissed my hair
to wake me. I dreamed you were a poem,
I say, a poem I wanted to show someone...
and I laugh and fall dreaming again
of the desire to show you to everyone I love,
to move openly together
in the pull of gravity, which is not simple,
which carried the feathered grass a long way down
the upbreathing air.

Yargh! Wrong thing entirely to ask me, since I'm a poetry nut.

Okay, part of a poem that's been running through my head all day (probably because it sparked off part of a Connor AU fic last night:)

[It] eases a burden
made of all his sadness
and all the things I didn't give him.

There he is, happy, and I am unborn.
(by Wendy Cope, about finding an old photograph of her father)

Another fragment, because I love this and I have it stuck up on my bedroom wall:

Love that lay too deep for kissing
Love so pure it had to end
Love so strong that I was frightened
When you gripped my fingers tight and
Hugging, whispered, "I'm your friend."
(by John Betjeman)

Who is your favourite character in anything ever?

Tyler Durden from Fight Club.

We drew apart, both a little steadier, and smiled nervously. I saw Dougal draw Jamie's dirk from its sheath and wondered why. Still looking at me, Jamie held out his right hand, palm up. I gasped as the point of the dirk scored deeply across his wrist, leaving a dark line of welling blood. There was not time to jerk away before my own hand was seized and I felt the burning slice of the blade. Swiftly, Dougal pressed my wrist to Jamie's and bound the two together with a strip of white linen.
I must have swayed a bit, because Jamie gripped my elbow with his free left hand.
"Bear up, lass," he urged softly. "It's not long now. Say the words after me." It was a short bit of Gaelic, two or three sentences. The words meant nothing to me, but I obediently repeated them after Jamie, stumbling on the slippery vowels. The linen was untied, the wounds blotted clean, and we were married.

(...)

"A blood vow? What do the words mean?"
Jamie took my right hand and gently tucked in the last end of the makeshift bandage.
"It rhymes, more or less, when ye say it in English. It says:

'Ye are Blood of my Blood, and Bone of my Bone.
I give ye my Body, that we Two might be One.
I give ye my Spirit, 'til our Life shall be Done.'



Whoa, I searched two hours, because I only have the german editon of the book. Its a quote from outlander by Diana Gabaldon. And I love her books. As much as Harry Potter. But I thought you already know that book *G*


Who is your favourite character in anything ever?


I hate such questions. But if I have to choose it will be :
Jaime Fraser, Harry Potter ( I love him since book 5!), John Snow (Song of Ice and Fire), Draco Malfoy and Spike!


And I´m friending you now after more than a half of a year of lurking *G* I hope you don´t mind *G*

Wow, that's really beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

Those poems are terrific, thanks.

I feel like such a freak for hating Fight Club. Everyone seems to love it.

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

I'll have to look into reading that book.

Who's Jaime Fraser?

I really started to like Harry in Book 5 too. We're unusual--most people started to think he was whiny, lol.

Hooray, more friends! :D

Question: Why am I "gorgeous"? haha

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

[snuffkin.livejournal.com]
