The one who's barely there
Is the one to be 'ware
Tol-in-Gauroth III

When Shelob, Oddwen and I were the wolves and we went with the strategy of all of us being "quiet".

I lay to rest...

Quote:

The whitecoats painted a mouse bright blue, and stuffed his ears with sneezing glue,
They shone a biscuit through his eye, to see what lay beyond the sky,
The mouse he knew not what he did, he blew them all up with a saucepan lid...

Wonderfully weird: a quote from Snitter, one of the main characters in Richard Adams' 'The Plague Dogs', one of my favourite books. I liked that siggy very much, but hey, time to move on...

It's time for something new.

Never sigh for a better world, it's already composed, played, and told. Every thought the music I write, everything a wish for the night.

*sniffle* That song makes me cry...but now it's time for my revenge on Falky. She really did sing that! *points down at new siggy*

To be used no more (on this forum, at least):

Books...are like lobster shells, we surround ourselves with 'em, then we grow out of 'em and leave 'em behind, as evidence of our earlier stages of development.

It's time to give my siggy a well-deserved rest:

Quote:

Iċ scēawode Þingas Þa ġē lēode noldon cunnan: hildescipu byrnende be eaxle Orionis; iċ wlāt sæ-bēacnas glitinian in deorcum Tanhauseres ġeat nēah. Eall Þāra sīða sīen ġē-losod in tīde, swylce swā tēaras in rīne. Tīd tō sweltan.

Nobody ever told me if they successfully translated it...it's the dying speech of Roy Batty from Blade Runner:

"I have seen things that you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion; I have seen C-beams glittering in the dark near Tanhauser's Gate. All of these moments will be lost, like tears in the rain. Time to die."
