Thoughts of an Anarchist

A query.

Abs — Mon, 25 May 2009 16:56:26 +0000

Would anyone be horribly, overly scarred if I deleted this blog and moved on to another, equally neglected one?

You have a chance to speak if you wish… I’m just aware I’ve been neglecting it, rarely have the time for blogging anymore, and, quite frankly, have very little worth saying at the moment. All I seem to post is occasional noise, and it seems to me that I’ve had this long enough…

Anyway.

CAN’T SLEEP

Abs — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 01:58:16 +0000

SO VERY TIRED

BUT SO VERY DESPERATE TO WATCH ELECTIONS

I DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW ANYONE CAN SLEEP
HOW PEOPLE CAN SAY ‘IT’S NOT MY COUNTRY’

YES IT FUCKING IS, LIKE IT OR NOT, IT IS. IT’S YOUR WORLD THEY RUN.

175 to 76. COME ON OBAMA. COME ON.

Like I ever post anything of substance anymore.

When you see this, post a quote from Douglas Adams on your blog.

“I refuse to prove that I exist,” says God, “for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.”

“But,” says Man, “the Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn’t it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves that You exist, and so therefore, by Your own arguments, You don’t. QED.”

“Oh dear,” says God, “I hadn’t thought of that,” and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.

“Oh, that was easy,” says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.

George Carlin is dead.

Well, shit.
His soul has been flung to the rooftops ala Frisbeetarianism, and now he’s with Joe Pesci.

What a most excellent dude that Rufus was. I’m going to have a wee cry now.

Abs x

Happy Birthday, Doctor.

Tis David Tennant's birthday! For a whole one more minute! The wee skinny lad is 37.

Bless, hooray and hurrah! Brilliant, fantastic, and super!

I feel this calls for a celebration with my favourite picture:

Yeah, so maybe he's sat in a wardrobe sipping tea.

But that's why he's lovely and suited to being the Doctor. Because he's a complete dork.

May he live long and prosper. *

Yours fangirlishly,
Abs x

*I switched shows. So sue me.

MR FRY HAS BROKEN HIS ARM.

Abs — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 23:05:44 +0000

This requires, I feel, a national period of mourning.

Those of us who are avid readers of his blog have been missing him, but he frankly deserves the break.

Not the break in his arm, I mean the break from writing.

Oh, sssh, Abbi. Stop fangirling.

Which reminds me, I must review 'Moab is my Washpot' at some point, which the excellent Fish bought me for Christmas, and I adored.

POEM: Colourblind

Abs — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 22:44:37 +0000

I don’t have to justify being an atheist.

But here’s me doing it anyway.

Colourblind (And Proud)

Sometimes, there are paper colours

that the clever ones can’t see.

It’s not that they don’t want to;

(lord knows I’ve tried)

But every time we try

they blow away, hide,

dance in the sky

no more than a metaphor

for all I peer through their rose tinted eyes.

And so I don’t believe.

Those who can –

those lucky few –

speak in rapture of colour and hue

of golden glows and silver touch

But I see no silver, just shades of grey,

and isn’t that beautiful enough?

These colour catchers want to tame the stars, to see in black and white,

I feel no need to. (I’ve seen the light.)

And so I don’t believe.

These children, chasing a rainbow’s end

a mythical pot of gold

say if I don’t believe I’ll go to darkness

and then there’ll be

no colour

at all.

Can’t you see?

Maybe it’s me whose eyes are blind.

Maybe I can’t see.

But show me the colours I see

in my lover

in your god.

and then I WILL BELIEVE.

But not ’til then.

The sum of the square of the dramatist equals…

Abs — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 22:09:59 +0000

In my mind, drama = me. It has done since I was four years old, it’s what I’ve always wanted to do, and it’s what I will do. If I didn’t do drama I would simply cease to exist as the person I am now.

So when on Thursday we recieved the kick up the bum that we might fail drama AS, despite putting everything into it - that we might get a D - I was slightly shellshocked.

Since then I’ve pretty much been working whenever I can, because I cannot fail.

Because if I don’t equal drama, than what’s left for me to equal?
