Words flow more adequately in ink straight from my body. Sometimes I refill my pens from the marrow in my bones.

Molasses Swamp

I've been stuck. Like the little yellow gingerbread man peice stuck on the red square in Molasses Swamp. I speak of Candyland, of course. My mind is a conundrum right now. Steve Irwin dies, I have yet to decide what I want to be for Halloween this year, and I haven't finished my summer reading. I am a mess. How will I get out of this candy muck? Am I ruined for life?


Well, the whole Steve Irwin thing, it was bound to happen right? I didn't expect him to be killed by a short-tailed stingray though, more like a crocodile. His title just pronounces how his death will be. "Crocodile Hunter" would be the huntee of a crocodile, an ironic death makes more sense right? I feel bad for the guy. To have a barb lodged into your heart? Dreadful, I say. Well, he lived his life too far on the edge, and the animal kingdom wins. Learn ye lesson young folk who wish to taunt animals for the sake of some "educational" televison show.

Irwin's death doesn't bother me much, but the fact that Halloween or (for the Mexican population) Dia De Los Muertos is next month does. The ritual of the young or old dress up in a costume and smack on some candy. What am I to be this year?! I'm stuck on a few choices:


1. A skeleton
2. Velma Dinkley from Scooby-Doo

3. A member of Devo

4. Batman


It will come to me.The choice will come, and it shall be amazing.



Oh and the whole summer reading thing. Screw it. School starts tomorrow and I don't give a damn that I barely read anything this summer. I'm supposed to be dumb anyways. The smart switch will flick on, probably by next week. Too much education, at once, will probably kill me.

I also don't know what I want to be for All Hallow's Eve...I, too, was thinking Skeleton, but I am not sure yet if it is just for the ribcage shirt.

PS. I am thinking of making one of these...since I don't use LJ like I should...why not have one for each?

I'd personally say Velma Dinkley, if for nothing else it'd be the easiest; find an orange shirt and it'd be set (with the glasses and all.)
