Tol-Timpinen

There's a tempest in yon horned moon,
And lightning in yon cloud,
And hard the music, mariners,
The wind is piping loud;
The wind is piping loud, my boys!
The lightning flashes free,
While the hollow oak our palace is,
Our heritage the sea.

Quickly

My life used to be relatively sedate. I had a few friends with whom I interacted fairly frequently; things didn't change much, and certainly not with any considerable speed. Now... Just in the last few weeks I've come to accept three people as friends, and no sooner have I learned to incorporate them into my life than do they leave (or at least plan to).

I respect Kisa, though I don't hold the greatest of love for her just right now. Geo I like, though less than I used to. He's become less accessible since he and Kisa started going out, and I preferred it when he was a part of the group more often. (He still is when she's not around.) But those two aren't leaving for another several months. No, it's not them that have me upset; it's Donny.

I realize and understand that he has a girlfriend already, but I also know that one of my other friends - who really does kind of need someone to be there for her unconditionally - has acquired a large crush on him, and is fairly devastated by the fact that he moved to another state this morning. I don't spend much time with the guy, but even so I already miss him. He's one of those people that is there even when they're somewhere else.

This isn't making sense. I'm getting depressed, and I really want to get this stuff out of my system, but right now I'm tired and I just spend two hours getting the HTML for this thing more-or-less fixed, so my brain isn't working very well. I'll probably update some more tomorrow.

Things to Watch for in HP6

- the ghoul in Ron's attic

Writer's Block Sucks!

...Viserys held his tongue, but that afternoon he went home deathly pale for the second time in as many months.

* * 1 * *


Rain splashed down the windows, and a thousand weary thoughts chased each other through Viserys' head. Images of beasts and battles, machines and myths, everything that had ever been under the sun or moon; everything he had ever seen, in real life or in dreams. It had been two years since the visions had first begun, and he remembered every one clearly. Every detail - and most of those were gruesome - was etched into his mind.


There were times when he could no longer differentiate between his own true memories and those he had acquired from the visions. Often, the only way to know was by the content; his own featured school, friends, and family, not cannonballs and assassinations.


Viserys watched the sheets of water slap against the trees outside. He leaned his forehead against the window. It was cold, startingly so. He paid no mind.


Not every vision occurred the same way. Some came as dreams in his sleep, others attacked in broad daylight. Most were merely quick flashes, impressions, little longer than an instant; others dragged on for hours. Fortunately only one had lasted over a day, and it had occurred in the middle of summer while his parents were out of town. He was generally unaware of the world around him so long as the vision lasted, and occasionally for some time afterward, but there had been times when a portion of his mind was still functioning in the real world.
