Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Michael Palin....

[neverwhere]

I just watched the first episode of Michael Palin's new travel series Sahara. I can't believe he was willing to spend nearly a year in the middle of the most inhospitable place on earth for fun. He's insane! But still sooooooooooooo cute. *drool* *lol*

As a special treat, I hearby allow all my friends to see a very silly picture of me with His Royal Paliness taken 6 years ago. Wow, has it really been that long? And yet I look exactly the same. *G*






What is it with me posting all these pictures lately? Not so long ago I would never let anyone see my picture, not even my closet friends, I was so worried and ashamed of what they might think of me. But now I can't stop! I even took some this afternoon of me wearing glasses because I felt like it. The strange thing is, while I don't mind showing off my webcam photos, I absolutely loathe having pictures taken of me with a proper camera. I always end of looking terrible, I really don't know why webcam pics are better. I suppose because they're so blurry, they fade out all my 'unpleasant' features. *grins*

The Lake of my Desire
========================

I envisioned a large lake
They call it my desire
They asked me to cross it
As if it was required

Staring at the rippled blue
I asked myself why
I was happy on this shore
In the emerald winter rye

The lake will always be there
It won't just go away
Just because I decided to wait
And travel another day

I think for once
I should stay right here
And learn to be alone
The other side of the lake can wait
Until I know my own

It pretty here
Never noticed that before
Wandering the fields of myself
This side of the lakeshore
