Dear Viking You don’t understand, I don’t think Why I left and I couldn’t stay I’ll try my best to explain But it is exasperating, as I exasperated you I think I’m no girly-girl I’m no tomboy I’m not your brother And I am owned by no man I was more mature than you And…
A Letter to Spock: Guidance From Amanda
Dear Spock, I’m not so sure you’d be proud of me today. You see, I did some highly illogical things. I know that the Vulcan way is infinite diversity in infinite combinations, but you know what else is the Vulcan way? Being free from emotion. I very much am not free from emotion. Neither am…
Word From The Wise: Event Horizon
A birthday gift I’ll always treasure. I meant what I said about The Night We Met 😉 Everybody at some point has believed the universe revolves around them, but I have never seen it revolve around someone else. A gravitational pull of everything good and bad in this world. Things both wonderful and tragic cross…
Word To The Wise: Silmarillion
The lovely thing about having read the Silmarillion (Have you read it?) (Ah yes I thought not) (It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you) (Or anyone really) (Okay so) (No one understands the Silmarillion) (Tolkein himself admitted it was meant to be inconsistent and make no logical sense) (Because it’s mythology whereas The…
The Official June Playlist
So I want to start this off by saying that exactly no one has asked me for my music recommendations (in all probability because they know my taste and would rather…not?).

Poetry: Blackberries and Brooklyn-99
It makes me smile to think Of a man who teaches children for a living But doesn’t know the meaning of omw It makes me laugh to think Of rating my lentil soup first a 9, then an 8.5 then an 8 out of 10 I know you liked it And no I’m not putting…
Poetry: Jesus and Krishna
Little Dove These are the important things in life: Family Love Education Finding the good in people Breathing deep when you’re on country roads in the car Going to the mall with people Having the time of your life Feeling happy Listening to seashells Hearing the universe when it calls to you Singing Sitting around…
Poetry: Six and Twenty
Six And twenty These numbers have always guided my life Towards good things Winding paths and rivulets along the river I could never have foreseen My first and second loves, born on the 26th of their months Apartment 2.6 Address is 20-26 Report number 26 The year I turned 26 The year 2016 But perhaps…
Poetry: You Raised Me Up
Hawk You guided me in my times of trouble You raised me the best way you knew To be brave and independant You tried to make me wise And you tried to make me kind I think you probably succeeded with the kindness So that’s at least passing on the exam I may nickname myself…
