I made a Quiz for you! Take my Quiz! and then Check out the Scoreboard!

Ever since the knight who says Jour NI!…l played a game of LJ Mad Libs, I’ve been trying to find the handy little site that does a kind of Mad Lib generator and takes away all that work of writing it out by hand. I went through my enormous favorites folder until I found Rinkworks.

So I made a little something for all you poetry lovers out there.

The Highwayman

The tree was a torrent of ecstasy among the delightful trees,
The toilet was a last cheese tossed upon hallowed seas.
The garbage was a ribbon of moonlight over the green moor,
And the divorce lawyer came laughing,
Laughing, laughing,
The divorce lawyer came laughing, up to the unexpected inn-door.
He’d a French cocked-hat on his earlobe, a metric ton of birdseed at his chin,
A bowling ball of the claret velvet, and breeches of greasy doe-skin.
They fitted with never a wrinkle. His squirrels were up to the thigh!
And he sang with a jewelled twinkle,
His pistol butts a-twinkle,
His rapier hilts a-twinkle, under the unsettling sky.

And over the maracas he clattered and dropped in the slick inn-yard.
And he smuggled with his credit union on the shutters, but all was locked and barred.
He whistled a tune to the telephone, and who should be rolling there
But the landlord’s black-eyed dude,
Merle, the landlord’s dude,
Dancing a dark chartreuse tape into her long periwinkle hair.

– Corrupted excerpt from “The Highwayman,” by Alfred Noyes.

Because who wouldn’t be in love with Merle, the landlord’s dude?

There is too much bad weather between me and home, I’ll have to stay another night in Ace Deuce. Rowr. The weather wasn’t bad when I went to work, so I packed for home and turned down the thermostat. Then I had to go home to a cold, stripped apartment. (Gonna get a lot of laundry done.)

Work was not too bad, for the extreme level of business + lack of employees. And since I won’t be back until after Xmas, I can officially pronounce this the kindest, gentlest holiday season I’ve worked. I should switched companies long ago.

So should I post answers to the game? Let me know.

Since I have time, I guess I will take quizzes.

Step 1: Get your playlist together, put it on random, and play.
Step 2: Pick your favorite lines from the first 25 songs that play.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song the lines come from.
Step 4: Cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly.

I skipped songs that couldn’t be quoted without giving away the title. DEAL WITH IT. Googlers will be hurt.

Most songs are pretty mainstream, so hopefully it won’t be too hard :P

I envy the people who can just cry about things, get a puffy face, eat some ice cream, and move on.

I can’t cry.

I don’t like ice cream.

And there are times when I am so angry, I’d punch the wall, but it’s a brick wall, and I need this hand for typing.

The rational side of me sees that things really probably couldn’t have been otherwise without some kind of divine intervention. And therefore anger is pointless, and more than a little ridiculous.

Which side of me is the rational side? Maybe I can just punch that instead of the wall.

To everyone who feels like I haven’t been there for them, I wish I could say that… I haven’t even been there for myself. I’ve neglected the care I should give myself, to varying degrees, physically, emotionally, spiritually, academically, and financially. God gave me this life, this body, with some obligations attached. I need to see about those before I see to others. See, God outranks you.

Right now, I’m thinking, I should have at least made time to see a doctor.

It’s not like I haven’t been at a hospital.
