Disclaimer: I don’t own Bones or any of its characters! I’m just doing this for fun, no profit intended! :)
(“Booth? It’s me.” There was a pause on the other side of the line, one she interpreted as disbelief, then, a loud intake of air, followed by the voice she was so eager to hear.)

"What did you do while you were in Frankfurt?"
"I'd think a lot about the poems I wasn't able to write. ... I masturbated. ... Solitude is essentially a matter of pride; you bury yourself in your own scent. The issue is the same for all real poets. If you've been happy too long, you become banal. By the same token, if you've been unhappy for a long time, you lose your poetic powers. ... Happiness and poetry can only coexist for the briefest time. Afterward either happiness coarsens the poet or the poem is so true it destroys this happiness. I'm terribly afraid of the unhappiness that could be waiting in Frankfurt."
"Then stay in Istanbul," said Ipek.

I can understand it, I guess, he wrote, this unseemly haste to get the twentieth century over with. We're hoping, we can always hope, that we'll do it better the next time.
Because it's out there right now, the twenty-first century, still untouched; we haven't yet managed to fill it with Auschwitz and the Khmer Rouge and Hiroshima. We think maybe we can keep it clean.
You have to hope. You have to hope that we have some things now, we have some tribunals, we have an evolving body of international human rights law, a key to break the locked code of the sovereign state and tell a new story. You have to hope it means something.
So we set off our fireworks a year in advance, racing towards the future, wondering if we can change.

| This woman scares me |
[19 Jul 2008|03:12pm] |
lovely_living - - - Frightening. This woman, is scary. Like some weird June Cleaver from the twilight zone. Have YOU worn bright colours and a sundress lately?! No, no I have not. I like to scrap lead paint in gym shorts The entire "Budgeted Cleaning TIme" for some reason grates on my soul (that's right.) Lately, my "Budgeted Cleaning Time" has consisted of
- Throwing out a cowheart that's been in the microwave for over a day because my boyfriend apparently doesn't believe in refridgeration or you know, other parts of the cow.
- Killing 34 ants for fun outside
- Pouring bleach over a suspect stain in our clawfoot tub
- Squeezing orange juice with my barehands!!!! No, not really though. I opened a bottle of tropicana.
Woman who are that excited about housekeeping worry me.

"She was never less than kind fo me although she could devastate her daughter with a glance. I miss her. Clare... well, "miss" is inadequate. Clare is bereft. Clare walks into rooms and forgets why she is there. Clare sits staring at a book without turning a page for an hour. But she doesnt cry. Clare smiles if I make a joke. Clare eats what I put in front of her. If I try to make love to her Clare will try to go along with it... and soon I leave her alone, afraid of the docile, tearless face that seems to be miles away. I miss Lucille, but it is Clare I am bereft of. Clare who has gone away and left me with this stranger who only looks like Clare."
Henry - on the death of Clare's mother Lucille.

| I have "friends" exactly like this. |
[19 Jul 2008|01:38pm] |
Now Joan said stoutly, "I never really liked Buddy Willard. He thought he knew everything. He thought he knew everything about women..."
I looked at Joan. In spite of the creepy feeling, and in spite of my old, ingrained dislike, Joan fascinated me. It was like observing a Martian, or a particularly warty toad. Her thoughts were not my thoughts, nor her feelings my feelings, but we were close enough so that her thoughts and feelings seemed a wry, black image of my own.
Sometimes I wonder if I had made Joan up. Other times I wondered if she would continue to pop in at every crisis of my life to remind me of what I had been, and what I had been through, and carry on her own separate but similar crisis under my nose.

| Welfare rant for the day |
[19 Jul 2008|12:41pm] |
In the infamous words of The Joker, "Riddle Me This"... (great movie by the way, saw it last night)
Why do people on welfare always have money to buy cigarettes? I don't smoke so I don't know the going rate for Marlboros, but it's pretty costly these days, isn't it? A pack of smokes costs almost $6, doesn't it? How can people on welfare afford that and why should they be allowed to?
If your lazy ass wants to rely on the taxpayers for your existence, here's how it should be: Welfare should pay your rent and utilities directly to the landlord and utility companies. You don't see a dime. You get vouchers for local stores that specify what can be purchased with them. For example, "This voucher good for $100 in children's clothing items ONLY". The receipt and the voucher must match or the retailer won't receive payment from the government, so there won't be any cheating. The voucher is made out to the specific person and their photo ID has to be scanned for the purchase, so selling the voucher won't be easy.
Food stamps should be made available for necessary food items only, and should be changed to include personal items like toothpaste and chewable vitamins for children. Things like Ho-Hos, Oreos, chips, Lunchables, TV dinners, Pepsi, Doritos, takeout food (pizza and subs), bakery cakes and the like should be eliminated from the list of eligible items. People on food stamps need to learn to economize and exercise basic cooking skills. The problem with most of them is that they're too lazy to work, too lazy to practice birth control, and too lazy to cook. It's much too easy to throw a Lunchable at the kid and go hang out on the porch than it is to cook a decent meal and sit down with the family for some quality time. Unfortunately, the welfare system plays right into that notion.
We give these sponges way too much leeway. They shouldn't see any money at all, because in a good many cases what happens is they get their stipends, blow it on booze, drugs, lottery and stupid shit, and don't pay their rent and bills. Then they run back to the welfare office crying that their money got stolen and they apply for an emergency replacement. In a lot of cases, they get it. In the cases where they don't, they run off to Catholic Charities or Salvation Army and those do-gooders give them money even though they're pretty sure they're lying. If the welfare system doesn't give them cash, they can't claim it got stolen. Sure, it may cost up front to implement, but once it gets operational, it will save a lot and may even deter a lot of these losers from applying in the first place.

My mum's prayer meetings were drawing more and more people. God would help us. We just needed to pray more. A prayer was like a tickle. Sooner or later God would have to look down to see what was tickling his bum.

| A new writing community |
[18 Jul 2008|02:49pm] |
I recently made a writing community called The Pencil Posse. The Pencil Posse is where authors can go to get help, get feedback, and get encouragement to update/finish stories. The Posse also includes writing prompts, challenges, activities, and much more. It is welcome to all fandoms, including Original fic (poetry is allowed as well).
Right now though most of the members are Harry Potter fans and I'd like to get some other fandoms in there.
Here's the link: http://community.livejournal.com/pencil_posse/profile

And her sweet red lips on these lips of mine
Burned like the ruby fire set
In the swinging lamp of a crimson shrine,
Or the bleeding wounds of the pomegranate,
Or the heart of the lotus drenched and wet
With the spilt-out blood of the rose-red wine.
from "In the Gold Room" by Oscar Wilde.
