When I&#8217;m lying along at night and can&#8217;t sleep because I remember their voice too clearly. Anger drains to missing them, being lonely without them. I hold onto my hands, I curl my blankets around me, and I can&#8217;t continue anything but madness. My in-box is the last vestige of contact and as yet, it&#8217;s been empty.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday is entirely fancy dress. I have a birthday game of croquet to attend, then High Tea. I need to have my gown cleaned today, it&#8217;s next on the agenda next to buying more toothpaste, the odd with the prosaic. Also on the list, change for the bus and monies for SinCity cover. I haven&#8217;t begun on my Eris costume, but I&#8217;m not terribly concerned. I&#8217;ve enough safety pins to guarantee that I could make clothing out of cut up newspapers if I need to.<\/p>\n<p>People have been calling late at night again. I like that, I appreciate that people are willing to take me at face value when I say &#8220;call any time, any hour&#8221;, but of late, it&#8217;s like every time I pick up the phone after midnight, it&#8217;s somebody crying. It&#8217;s a strange summer theme I don&#8217;t understand. I&#8217;m not an angel, I don&#8217;t grant absolution, but it&#8217;s becoming almost a side-line job again. I thought I ditched this years ago, it meant so much to them and so little to me. <\/p>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/thelastfridays.livejournal.com\/\" class=\"lj-user\">thelastfridays<\/a> meeting today at my place, 1 pm.\n<li>the SinCity meet-up here is beginning at 7:30.<br clear=\"all\" \/><br \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My Lover Moved Farther Away Then Outer Space and All I Got Was This Lousy Crawfish.
