Distressing Dream

I'm not getting into it. I'm noting it here so that I can remember. Sorry for the cryptic post.

The kisses, the closeness, the "us against them" mentality, the inability to know where I was...or when I was, the knowing smiles, the hatred and competitiveness of others, the rubbing it in, the intimacy (different from the closeness, which has more to do with vicinity), the realness of the dream, the trapped feeling.

I...do...not...ever...want...to...dream...like...this...again...

It's happened twice before. Maybe three times is the charm. Each time, I feel like I'm being taken hostage, and I like it.

Drat (on toast)

I can see now that this dream will be haunting me all day long. It seems I can think of little else. What bothers me is that I can't remember very much of the dream, except for the feelings involved and a few certain NC-17 scenes that should never have come into existence, even on the dreamscape.

It's days like this that make me feel plagued, like the Egyptians during the days of Exodus. Enough already, eh? Let me dwell amongst my pyramids in peace.

Meme Monday

brujah's got it going on today. Not only did she tag me, but she also provided this very interesting meme to sort out.

List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now.

The Gruesome Foursome

I was mistaken.  These are Agro's babies, not Goldie's.  But the kittens are almost communal when it comes to the group of mothers in the pride, so it's hard for me to gauge sometimes.  Anyway, I was able to medicate all four kittens, but had to prop the back screen door open to do it, so I could move in and out with ease while medicating.  Before I could get the door closed, the kittens relocated to the top of the pet taxi on the back porch.  Agro was sitting nearby, watching closely.

I couldn't resist. I scampered in to get the camera so I could grab a shot of them. So, without further ado, I present (from left to right) Ghost, Norvus, Shades, and Jolsen.

Rising to the surface

Like a bubble in Champagne.

The feel of his lips invading my aura
Touching me, gentle and wet
I’m washed out to sea on a raft made of horror
At a desire I won't soon forget

I haven't had a "poetic moment" in an unbelievably long time. To be honest, I'm fairly distressed.

You should...

Go vote in this week's LJ Idol. No really, you should!
