Isn’t this dress lovely? If only I were a matron or a widow so I could wear such a shocking color…

Perhaps marrying that Russian undersecretary would be worth it after all.

There’s a nude mural of you on my wall
It stretches and suffocates my room

You reveal yourself every day

But here I lie, in the quiet dark
Layers upon layers
A folk tale, passed down to my subconscious

I fear Light
Light is what brought you
To my knees

Wholly you leave yourself, peeling off your burnt, dead skin
Delicious sentiment
Not enough for a sin to stop being committed

I go on

Your Death is a sweet gesture

Love to see this everywhere. Makes me so so happy.

EARGASM! David Tennant reading one of the most romantic sonnets ever.

Good God!

Hurrah for Shakespeare and Mr. Tennant.

Today was a mad mad day of staring at Twitter, Facebook, rubyslipperedsisterhood.com, and RWA’s Site, rooting for all my pals and the pals I soon hope to make. Its a day of heartbreak, hope, frustration and triumph. For all who triumphed, I salute you. For all who waited for a phone call that never came… KEEP GOING. We are not defined by how we fall but by how we get up again.
