Lies and Vaudeville, finding their way home.

Well, it's a good thing that that's worked out, then. As much as I don't like revenge - it's a messy thing - there has to be an equivalent exchange. I try not to think about it too much, or else I'll have to think about something else to balance it out, when I would much rather be talking with The Lord or finding out why rain is wet - or if it is wet at all - or if it's raining in the first place.

Tea-time's at four, anyway, every afternoon, and you're all invited; do stop by some time. We'd love to have you, or at least I would; but I rather think The Lord would love to have you, too.

Messenger's Report

This is not going to be pleasant.

I’m here to report the death of Emma-Sofia "Kathleen Schrödinger" Mondegreen.  She died...sometime within the past few days. Thursday evening is our best guess. As I’m sure all of you reading her blog know, she was being held hostage by a certain “Cheshire,” and he proposed a little “game” to determine her fate.  Only problem was, he had five aces and he dealt us a hand of Monopoly money.  He never intended to honor his deal.

Cheshire just sort of disappeared, and a few of our Agents went in after him to check out what had happened.  They found a note in her apartment directing them to the cellar of a library…the same one, if I’m not mistaken, that Schrödinger mentioned in her post that featured my own blog.  Funny how those things work out sometimes.

When the Agents got to the cellar, Cheshire was already gone.  So was Schrödinger.  They…didn’t find a body.  Technically.  I can still, unfortunately, report with all certainty that Schrödinger is dead, because while there was no body, there was still a head.

There were also bones.  Bones that we’ve managed to identify as belonging to Schrödinger.  Bones that…how do I even put this?

The bones were covered in bite marks. Human bite marks. I’ll give that a moment to sink in.

I’m not usually one to pay final respects.  Sure I’ll make observations or post any final wishes that may exist, but final, parting words to the deceased?  It’s unprofessional and it requires getting attached to the victim.  But I guess there are exceptions for everything.

Kathleen, you made me smile.  You convinced me that, no matter how dark things get, it’s possible to remain optimistic.  You made me, and I’m sure so many others, curious.  But they’ve opened up the box, and I guess that same curiosity is what killed the Kat.  But you live on.  If not in their hearts, then in mine.  And for you to be able to impact someone who’s technically your enemy as much as you have?  Well, it’s an understatement to say that you’ll be missed.  No one deserves to go like this. But you least of all.

Blog's over.  Move along, people.  Nothing more to see.

Because Jellicles would, and Jellicles can
Jellicles can, and Jellicles do...

Last night I had a dream

We were inseparably entwined

Like a piece of rope

Made out of two pieces of vine

Held together

Holding each other

With no one else in mind

Like two atoms in a molecule

Inseparably combined

he drew a circle that shut me out

But then I woke

From the dream

To realize I was alone

A tragic event, I must admit

But let's not be overblown

I'm not trying to write a love song

Just a sad pathetic moan

And maybe I just need a change

Maybe I just need a new cologne

heretic, rebel, a thing to flout;

Now I look at love

Like being stabbed in the heart

You torture each other

From day to day

And then one day you part

Most of the time it's misery

But there's some joy at the start

And for that I'd say it's worth it

Just use a blade that's short and sharp on me

but love and i had the wit to win

If love is just a game

Then how come it's no fun?

he won't play fair

If love is just a game

How come I've never won?

we drew a circle that took him inininininininininininininininininininin

I guess maybe it's possible

I might be playing it wrong

And that's why every time I roll the dice

I always come undone

And so on, and so on...
