chess: (squiggles)
Running down the path in a long purple dress - the purple of the underdress of my purple dress, or slightly deeper. The dress reaches to the ground in silk. Black socks emerge at times. A purple belt needing to be tied. Lacy white sleevelets. At the door, Mrs Gulliver persuades the guards to let us in. We go to the toilets to change - crystal sandals, a nail-file for the purple nailvarnish on her fingers. Tying the belt securely. Then out into the great Hall: where to sit? what to do? servants are taking orders, and you rush to the table they have not seen yet, flick through the menu - all in French. Scan the pictures, smell the cooking of mushrooms. Pain au fromage et champignons, merci. The dessert for starter, warm custard and pastry, banana inside. Eat, smelling mushrooms. But look: in a dress the colour of a starless midnight, she comes, followed by two servents bearing bags which squirm and writhe. She plunges her hand into one and withdraws a small, furry creature, scratching, struggling to be free. And in her other hand is the knife. Understand the words that are not your own, push back the chair and gather your skirts, and make for the door while all eyes are elsewhere. Who the sacrifice was for need not be known - it is enough to know that it was to an idol, that He no longer demands the formal, ritualised sacrifice of that which is not cherished.

Run through the halls and out into the forest.

You are a dreamer. Constantly filling your mind with fantasies, you withdraw inside yourself in order to experience these more clearly. You dislike people and the distractions they cause. You are eccentric and lack a firm grasp on reality. You experience a wide range of emotions, and can often times be dangerous to yourself and others. You need to focus more on the real world.

Your song is: Solitary Shell

Which degree of inner turbulence are you?

I thought of posting that 'ask me any question you like thing' again today.

But then I thought - why do I need to?

You can ask me questions any time you like. If answering them won't hurt anyone else, I'll do my best to answer them. You don't need special permission, a special post to hang your questions off. You can just ask them any time.

Of course, if you want to comment on this post with them, it's just as legitimate a place to put them as anything.
