Two Knights and Maidens
by Crash Test Dummies
once there were two knights and maidens
they'd walk together
out in the gardens
in all kinds of weather
the knights always pestered the maidens
to love them together
out in the gardens
and they could watch each other
the maidens had other plans for the two knights
they'd give them potions
and make them see dreams and lights
the knights took the potions gladly
they laughed at their visions
but outside the garden
tigers smelled them together
the maidens had other plans for the two knights
they'd give them potions
and make them see dreams and lights
the knights only laughed at the tigers
they thought they were visions
out in the garden
the maidens watched them together
ah, but for the two knights
ah, but for maidens
who gave to them dreams and lights
this is dedicated to all of you who've made an impact on my life and made me who I am today... to all of you who've shown me a little piece of Heaven and taken me to the dark depths of Hell... to all of you who've been there to listen to me ramble and give insight into my life, even though I didn't heed advice or warnings or seemed to be blowing you off, I really was listening... to all of you who've been there when I was at my worst and helped me not go totally over the edge... to all of you who've filled my heart and made me happy... to all of you who've made me laugh and cry... to all of you who've made this life worth living... I will never forget any of you... my eternal thanks to you all...
Sothis
Sothis, come and start a year anew
I'm tired and weary and yearn for the next Spring flood
to carry all my worries away
and start the rebirth of my blue rose
among the grasses of a brand new life
full of color, but not of strife
Sothis, come and shine your light on this Winter of weariness
bring life into this tired body of mine
wash away all my regrets
so that I may show this world the beauty of life
and for evermore reflect your light on others
Sothis, shine your light on me

I don't want to live the typical life - I don't think I'll ever truly grow up in the standard definition of the phrase... I can be extremely shy in public and in new situations, but have learned to play it off, I think... I take chances when I shouldn't and don't take chances when I should... I'm the opposite of who I want to be when I'm at work... I'm only partially who I want to be when I'm not at work... I absolutely hate people and I absolutely love people... I hope the end of the world comes within my lifetime - I love to witness total chaos - uncontrolled chaos, not "organized" chaos... I sometimes miss the most depressing time of my life, when I was at my most creative... when I'm looking for something, I end up seeing everything but what I'm looking for... I am a strict proponent of fair play - I disrespect anybody who wins anything by cheating... I hate drippy food (like soupy pizza) - I always envision it on my chin and neck... I like alternative fashion and styles like makeup, tattoos, necklaces, chains - in moderation... I'm not a fan of the naked body - I don't mind being so, though... my left ear is not conducive to ear buds... I love seeing people get pissed off at menial things - it makes me laugh... I love living by myself - anything goes! - I'm only truly myself when I'm by myself... I'd love to try everything once - well, almost everything... time is more important than money to me - I've become quite the expert on saving time - I save it, then I waste it... I want to see as much of the world as possible - the good and the bad...
