Oh so THAT’S what a spit take is,jar. Thanks.
jlzania–I will take your advice into consideration. I have always had a hard time fitting in ANYWHERE and so I guess I"m doing what I’ve always done to try and fit in someplace.

I understand, really I do. As you were gracious enough to consider my advice even 'tho I can’t code for beans, I’m going to add to it.
I’ve never fit in all that well either.
However, I have discovered that I do best when I don’t try to be anything other that what and who I am.
That doesn’t mean I get to be boorish or rude or mean because that’s not really me.
It also means that I don’t get to try and impress people with my intellectual chops or artistry or sparking wit because that’s not really me either.
Of course, it took me nearly 48 years on the planet to figure all this out.
This is one I wrote back in HS about a friend who was on heroin at the time.cough
Lights are on,nobody’s home
You stare into her eyes and they are like the eyes of a dead fish,cold,empty
The lights are on but nobody’s home
The harsh highs and Death Valley lows have stripped her of her soul
Of everything that used to be a part of her
Her mind is gone,fried beyond recognizing
She can’t think but of one thing…her next fix
It’s all about getting that fix and getting to feel that euphoria again,like riding a rollercoaster blindfolded in the dark
But when it’s all over,she’s alone again,trembling in the shadows,shivering as though a Montana winter wind is whipping her body raw
She’ll do anything to get that fix…to feel that pinch of a needle puncturing her already-scarred and tortured veins again
Injecting that sweet warmth that floods her body like a chemical orgasm
The lights are on…but nobody’s home
Nobody can save her from herself and there she’ll be,alone again without a prayer
Without a friend
Without a life
THe lights are on…but not for long
Because there isn’t anybody home now
You don’t have to go.
Oh oh oh oh.
The only Magic Kingdom she had
Was the Magic Kingdom of drugs
She never saw Mickey
Not even from behind
I give up.
points and snickers at Giraffe and Maeglin
How juvenile.
IDBB
I proclaim Giraffe a comedy genius.
I just love poetry, that’s all.
A user, by name of Giraffe
Committed a serious gaffe.
He poem-ded clever
And, with this endeavor,
Did seperate wheat from the chaff.
bow
Methinks that Giraffe’s post needs to be immortalized in the Page O’ Funny.
claps for Hama
Cute.
IDBB
Dude…are you twelve?
Ye gods.
Ok…perhaps I should have added a sarcastic smilie before the ‘cute’ but I couldn’t find one.
