I run a speak easy...

I don't know about you boys, but, if you're like me than hanging around this old man hole is bringing you down six feet under, getting underneath your skin. Cabin fever's setting in, and you're stir crazy, stuck in a rut, you could use a little pick-me-up. I can give you what it is you crave, a little something from the good old days. Hey, I got the wind right here in a jar, I've got the rain on tab at the bar, I've got the sunshine up on a shelf, allow me to introduce myself;

Hey, brother, what's my name? My name is Our Lady of the Underground. Brother, what's my name? Our Lady of Ways, Our Lady of Mean. Hey, brother, what's my name? Our Lady of the Upside Down. Want to know my name? I'll tell you my name; Persephone.

Come here, brother, let me guess; it's the little things you miss. Spring flowers, autumn leaves, ask me brother and you shall receive or maybe these just aren't enough, maybe you're looking for some stronger stuff? I've got a sight for the sorest eyes. When's the last time you saw the sky?

Wipe away your tears, brother. Brother, I know how you feel. I can you blinded by the sadness of it all. Look a little closer and everything will be revealed. Look a little closer, there's a crack in the wall. You want stars? I've got a sky full, put a coin in the slot, you'll get an eyeful, you want the moon? Yeah, I got her too. She's right here waiting in my pay-per-view... How long's it been? A little moon shine isn't a sin. One at a time, boys, straight bodied...

What the boss don't know, the boss don't mind. :)

Ribonuclease Eclipsed

Been here before, though there's something in the air this time. Now I want to give away what I've taken back, run away with you toward the night. A thousand names, though this something in me cannot smile. I don't want to spend the day retracing steps, run away with you toward the light. I can't stay long in the morning, another world went wrong - it's ok. Now that you're gone, hold me in your eyes or suddenly deny... I sympathize. Those diamond days, a thousand strands of sunlight in his eyes. Now I want to give away what I've taken back. Step away with you toward the night. Hold me in your eyes or suddenly deny, I empathize. Hurry up and sleep, to the night you go.

Last night, I was so ready to fall in love again, today the though just makes me feel sick. I'm too ready to jump into it all over again... But I've never fallen in love before. Last time, I just WAS and it was so incredible and I loved it... But I really need time for me, and every time anyone comes around, its like I think I'm really into it- but I know I'm not...

In which confessions are spilled.

I feel like Mona, Phae, Ruddy and America really took me under their large, conjoined wing this week. I feel raging optimism because people are really taking chances on me and are pursuing their friendships for me. I feel... happy.

Mona Campbell- A protagonist's introduction... and several supporting actors...

Mona is five feet short, dark eyed, dark haired, comically tragic and dismal. She has demons and is prone to placing people on pedestals. I just read this to her and she said, "hey! You're not supposed to tell people that..." And now I'm reading it out loud to her and she said, "you're not supposed to do that!" And we are in a three way call with Sandy, who doesn't get an alias because I won't be talking about him very much, and he said, "YOU'RE BLOGGING?!" And Mona said, "SANDY!" And Sandy said, "I WANT TO BE CALLED RUBBER DUCK." And so he shall.

Rubber Duck wants me to, "please stop this commentary." And Mona wants me to write more about her...

Back to Mona.
After 10 PM, she tends to go mildly mad. I think that it is the result of the darkness outside, and sometimes inside the house and also her body's undeniable tiredness and it releases this little demon. One day, I went to sleep at her house and it was before I actually realized how honestly mentally unsound she was and she BIT me. Like... her teeth on my hand. It was nice. And she picked a fight with our friend, who shall be called Ape, because Ape is taking Rubber Duck to prom... which didn't sit well.

ANYWAY. Mona... Mona is probably one of the most beautifully confounding people I've ever encountered. She is this little ray of light that tosses me into complete happiness; yet she has this surging darkness that threatens to envelope her at any instant. She makes me so desperately sad... But on the same hand, she is simply spell binding and makes me explode in happiness... and overall confusing character.
