Dark and sinister... quite cosy once you're used to it...

Eyes stare out of the darkness and focus on me.

A blade runs along my skin, drawing blood,

It wells and falls like numb tears

That I no longer feel.

 

My own fate, wound to bind me,

But cannot want but to lay blame elsewhere.

How quickly tongues slash and cut

Mine own included.

Burning wounds created, through faults of me

No one else to keep them.

 

My bloodied hands,

I lay to sleep, yet they should shed it again

Should I open myself,

If I try once more to trust.....

poetry, emotional crap

Ahah!!!! I have found another lot of facts to diss. Except the source is .... uh.... kinda strange......... to say the least, really.

For those of you without the monthly cycle, the brand Libra will probably mean nothing to you, unless you read the horoscopes. For the rest of the nation, *nods embarrassedly*... we know all too well. Yes yes, ok not the best topic of coversation I must admit, but for anyone that doesn't shall we say, prefer Libra, heres a little update on their new marketing campaign.

Talk about product differentiation. The adhesive strips now have little "Odd Spots", useless facts for a normally useless strip of plastic. Despite the strange location of their little interest factor, and with morbid humour and interest I began to read some of them:

Odd Spot #66

The left lung is smaller than the right lung to make room for the heart

makes sense to me

 

Odd Spot #35

The human brain is about 85% water

ah, well that explains a few things....

 

Odd Spot #49

The modern flushing toilet was invented by Thomas Crapper

Hmm, i think this goes back to the naming thing.... How shit would that be? (excuse the pun) Not only does your invention become known by your last name, but the stuff you put in it eventually becomes an abbreviation of your name.... and then it transforms into a cursing word for something that looks like shit, and all you did was invent a way to get rid of it. Nice repayment huh?. Thats just crap.... I mean.... ah well

 

Odd Spot #54

Swans are the only birds with penises

Weeeeeellll then. Apart from being on the way-too-much-information channel, you have really got to wonder how the rest of the birds get on then..... I mean theres just no other way to do it, is there????  So can someone tell be how a duck gets fucked? Man this goes back to birds and bees stuff. But, if birds don't do it our way, how does that work? Awww man, this makes no sense. Little duckies don't just appear!!! Their nons and all but.... *shakes head confuseded* Fleur, your the expert on alien life... help me here...

 

Odd Spot #72

The average human body contains enough potassium to fire a toy cannon

I would have to strongly disagree with this. Pure potassium metal is not present anywhere in the body (and thank god it isn't).... and for good reason. For those who don't do chemistry, lets do a lil experiment with potassium. If you put a cube of potassium metal about the size of a sugar cube into your mouth, your head would explode. And that burning feeling would certainly not be indigestion. I doubt you would ever digest anything ever again. If there truly was potassium metal in that much quantity, Spontaneous Human Combustion would certainly not be a phenomenon. Breathe in and you might die. Nice life.

Potassium is only present as a compound in the human body. And I prefer it to stay that way thank you.

 

Odd Spot #47

The average person is about a quarter of an inch taller at night

Are you sure its not just because you can't see the measuring tape? That is utter shit. I very much doubt that a person comes back from a hard night clubbing and goes... oooo look, I've grown a quarter of an inch!!! Its not like a werewolf thing where the sun goes down and suddenly you're taller by a quarter of an inch. People watch the sunset and then grow a centimeter or two. I think what they meant to say was that when you wake up in the morning you are taller than when you go to bed. (assuming you don't lay down all day). Because standing or sitting all day compresses the cartilege between the discs in your spine, and when you go to bed, laying down lets them expand, so you become slightly taller when you wake of a morning.

 

Odd Spot #152

In a study of 200,000 ostriches over a period of 80 years, no one reported a single case where an ostrich buried its head in the sand.

Well duh Freddy. And you know whats so sad? Its that they probably used thousands of tax-payers dollars to find that out. Their discovery: That things that happen in cartoons do not happen in real life. *gasped* NO FUCKING CLUE THESE PPL!!! My god, how stupid ARE these scientists? The next experiment: In a study of 300,000 coyotes over a period of 74 years, no one reported a single case where a coyote looked like an accordian after having an anvil or large boulder dropped on it.

 

Odd spot #82

In ancient Egypt, priests plucked every hair from their bodies, including their eyebrows and eyelashes

Squarms with pain. God damn. Now that is so wrong. Talk about an initiation test!!!! You'd be doing the ball rash walk for a week!!!! NASTY STUFF!!!

 

Odd Spot #128

Every time you lick a stamp, you're consuming 0.1 of a calorie

Whoa!!! Talk about promoting anorexia. I can see the headline now: ANOREXICS AROUND THE WORLD  CONVULSE AT THOUGHT OF LICKING STAMP. Man, this shows the obssession we have with diets today, my god. This is pathetic.

You never really appreciate carpet do you? (yes grace this is my attempt, its pretty lame but laugh anyway)

Really. Do you ever look down at the soft plush pile between your toes and go "I'm so lucky. The people in guatamala don't have carpet. But I do *sigh*. How nice". Yeah anyway.

Can you imagine how much crap goes onto carpets? Have you ever spilt a glass of water on carpet? Its just plain weird. The whole damn glass is empty and there's like a wet patch 10cm round in the carpet. Where the hell did the rest of the water go? Oh well, you go to soak it up with a flannel and.... jesus christ, where'd the flood come from? You've soaked the flannel through and through and the spot hasn't changed size at all!!! Hmmm, *give spot in carpet evil look* I'm on to you!!! Its like a frikkin wormhole in the time space continuum. The water just disappears, I swear to god. *gets a towel* Ahah!!!!! I have you now you damned spot!!! Out, out I say!!! *stomps towel into spot*............... *is knee-deep in water*. WTF?? What, is there like an inland sea in my carpet? *steps out of puddle and retrieves now soaking wet towel*   

It is not over yet, compadre!!! I will challenge you to a duel!!    *gets ass kicked by a plush pile*

You never realise how much you use carpet everyday, spilling stuff on it, scuffing and draggin your feet all over it, it gets the rough end of the stick poor carpet. How would you like to have food dropped on you, people walking their dirty feet all over you, not to mention the dust mites and go know what other things you have living as inhabitants. The beautiful new carpet become used and old over time, but you never quite see it, until you open the cupboard. *jumps back in horror* Ye gods!!! The carpet has a tan line!!!  Next time you open a cupboard, or move a piece of furniture that has been there for a fair while, have a look at what colour the carpet used to be. Yes, it was that dark when you first bought it. So much for that now. The carpet in our house appears to be almost white, everywhere, with the exception of the dark gray line under the cupboard doors. You can just see it, the carpet's tan line. From that point, there is no turning back. Its like your looking at a totally new world in there. That line divides old and new worlds, point of no return. No returning to the beautiful, soft and colourful carpet, for the carpet outside those doors. Nevermore shall it possess the same depth of colour and smoothness of the carpet first rolled off the shelves.

Yes well this is starting to creep me out, I am trying to romanticise carpet... And by the looks of it I'm not doing too bad.................. Thats whats scary

Leaving now

You know how you can walk around your house trying to find something, retracing your every step today, trying to replay in your mind the last time you had the object , turning every room that you've been in for the last 48 hours upside down, pacing round and round and round until you're leaving a smoke trail from the amount of times you've walked that very same path looking for one little damn thing that does not want to be found any-bloody-time soon, and you're starting to get slightly pissed off because you're so sure is SOMEWHERE in this shitty house, cos you remember bringing the stupid fucker home but you just..... can't......... FUCKING find it!!!!!

 

*breathes*

 

And then you finally grind down your pride enough that you ask someone. They tell you exactly the room that you've been looking in all along. They walk straight in, and point to it, in plain view. And leave you blustering and stammering that it wasn't there a minute ago, you swear you looked right in that very spot about three minutes ago on your thirteenth circuit of the dining room, office, bedroom and living room.

Oh bugger it. You just can't win...
