spring cycle

Oh dear.

Who the blazing hell are you and where did you spring from? And don’t get pert and give me Pakistan via Saudi Arabia you know that isn’t what I mean. Oh I’m scared. I’m right scared and it’s got very little to do with where you’re from, boy.

Man.

It’s ‘cos of who you are, and who I am.

God help me (it sucks being an atheist) I can’t do this. Please let me not do this.

(*sigh* …As it happens that’s the very prayer that began my journey to atheism)

[whispers] …but I close mine on his hands his eyes his hips his smile

- the heat in him

Oh dear

…

What do you want from me? Pretty sure I’m in trouble either way. Big trouble.

Your family will hate me, so this can’t be serious, right?

As if!

when you’re so goddamn young (why do I do this? why do they want me to?)

And, grand boutade, you don’t fall in love anyway, right? Never have, anyway…

and will surely marry a nice girl fairly soon, maybe a friend of a cousin…

I am staring down the barrel of heaven and/or disaster and I do not like these odds.

But you’re not half intense, are you?

And me, I’m cool as a fucking cucumber, yeah?

[shivers]

[LOL]

Oh dear… :)

you don’t see the half of it

My god but it has been wild around here lately. Until this year I never posted private blogs; there have been five since mid-May. The unspeakable poetry of my private life.

And you didn’t think I had any ;)

I walk the house in joy intense

my hands are covered in frankincense

tedia

I used the word ‘tedia’ in conversation …then paused, and said ‘I think I just made that up.’ We googled it: plenty of Tedia as company names and such, but no Wikipedia entry and when we added the define command it couldn’t. So, subject to whatever a more rigorous search may turn up, I hereby define tedia as: pl. of tedium, meaning (a/the range of) tedious things and/or events.

The sentence I found myself using it in went something like this: Paying those parking fines is just one of the tedia I have to deal with this week.

Please feel free to comment about your own tedia, so that the Wiktionary entry Stuart encouraged me to write can refer back here to more than one usage example.
