The things I&#8217;ve written are not spells and remedies. I want you to give me the illusion that I am caged by your arms. I am willing to find a poison toad, if you require it, and pry the gem from inside the skull to feed you in payment for this simple service.  <\/p>\n<p>Yesterday was my first graciously busy day in what might be a long time. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livejournal.com\/~ridenowhere\">Ray<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livejournal.com\/~elsabet\">Sophie<\/a> came out for breakfast, a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.occult.ca\/navi\">group<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livejournal.com\/userinfo.bml?user=solarflight\">of<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livejournal.com\/~pentath\">us<\/a> helped <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livejournal.com\/~inri33\">Andrew<\/a> move, <i>(the boy in the picture)<\/i>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livejournal.com\/~fluxamonia\">Nicole<\/a> and I bought <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livejournal.com\/~ridenowhere\">Ray<\/a> new glasses frames, and after I went for dinner and studio photography with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nicholasburke.com\">Nick<\/a>. Right now it feels unreal, as if yesterday was some term of time too far away to see minutely. Admittedly, I am suffering that strange lightness of balance that only a scaldingly hot shower after a long day of no food can give a body, so perhaps tomorrow I will have a more lucid understanding of nonspatial continuum, but it&#8217;s now that I have a moment to sit and type blankly into the computer screen, so it&#8217;s now that you&#8217;re going to read, not an enchanted later. <\/p>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/mednews.wustl.edu\/news\/page\/normal\/6248.html\"><b>Neuroscientists at Washington University can use a brain scan to predict if a subject will succeed or fail at a simple videogame.<\/a><\/b>\n<p>Someone tagged me with the <i>5 Things About Myself<\/i> meme that&#8217;s been cluttering up my friendspage with admissions like <i>I had a crush on my neighbor, but never told her. Now she&#8217;s married to my ex-boyfriend and doesn&#8217;t look the same, so I don&#8217;t fantasize about her anymore<\/i>. Well, okay, no. I made that one up, but I&#8217;ll assume it&#8217;s simple to understand how banal repeated running of this meme can read without going through the hassle of finding an actual entry with it in.  <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the only thing I could think of: <\/p>\n<p><i>You sent away to the postal gods when you were little. Did you get everything you asked for? In classes we practiced our writing in overly looped lines of Dear I Want Please Thank You This Thing How Are The Reindeer? The only holiday more foreign was Fathers Day. Every year the teacher would reprimand me for telling them that I didn&#8217;t have anyone to make a card for. Some years I would be brought into the principals office. &#8220;This girl is being very unco-operative. She says she doesn&#8217;t have a father.&#8221;<\/i> <\/p>\n<p>And instead of answering that meme with four more uninteresting tid-bits, instead I will theft this one:<\/p>\n<p><b>If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, (even if we don&#8217;t speak often) please post a comment with a COMPLETELY MADE UP AND FICTIONAL memory of you and me.
