Friends don’t subject friends to pictures like this

In fact, I feel so much better that I thought I’d strike back at Michael Fletcher’s abomination in the only way I know how.

Take that!

In case you are worried, I don’t generally dress up like this at home. This was for a Halloween party. Honest.
You have to admit — it’s pretty damned scary.

Less Unhappiness

Hey kids!

For those of you who worry about my general well-being, I’m feeling considerably better since I posted the unhappy tale of woe and angst.

There has been therapy and it was good.
You are free to comment on the artistic merit of that aforementioned poem of woe and angst. Or offer to buy it — that’ll really cheer me up!

I’m grieving.
But no-one has died

I’m hurting.
But I find no wound

I’m angry.
But there’s no-one to blame

I’m vengeful.
Who deserves my wrath?

She’s drugged.
Abandoned in the club
Her drink has betrayed her

She’s raped?
The tests do not say so
No clear way to tell though

She’s ill.
Feels weary all day now
Curse the pill that AIDS her

And so
I grieve I ache I rage

I avenge?
Do you deserve my wrath?

Today is not a good day

Today I considered pouring a cup full of hot coffee (straight out of the kettle) on to my forearm.
The test would be to see whether I could hold my arm in place and resist the reflex to pull it away from harm.
The next trick would be to ignore the first-aid recommendation to shove the burn under cold running water. I’m pretty sure I’d end up with an exciting scar to show my grandchildren.

Some deeper instinct stayed my hand.
