Mirrors Are Evil

WP Prompt:

If you had to be an animal for a week, which one would you be and why?

If I could chose a form, the body I want to live in for one week I’d choose  to be a monster, any monster with dark eyes, sharp teeth, cold skin and a sly and wicked smile.

If looked like this, even for one week nobody would look at me, they wouldn’t be around long enough to judge me.

I wouldn’t have to explain why I look and dress the way I do. Nobody would tell me what a woman my age ” should look like ”

That would be heaven with a splash of Hell- just my speed.

True Story

WP asks which book have I read more then any other and I’m going to write about two because one is a poem.

The book I have read over and over again is ” A Christmas Carol ” by Charles Dickens.

I love it because it has ghosts and characters with snazzy names. When I read it, I can feel the cold, smell the food, see the fog and snow and I can hear Marley’s chains.

When the weather is bad, I read it and of course I read it during the fall and the winter.

The second title is ” The Raven ” by Edgar Allen Poe .

The Raven is the only poem I can honestly say I love. Every single word is like a slow and painful heartbeat and the Raven, that demon is the scariest monster in all of horror fiction and the man he drives mad, needs to stay in that room because if he were to escape well, there’s no telling where his grief and madness would drive him.

So there you have it two stories that I enjoy to no end.

Song Lyric Sunday: July Babies

For this week’s Song Lyric Sunday challenge, Jim Adams has asked us to find a song that was written or performed by someone who was born in the month of July.

I have chosen ” Doll Parts ” by Hole.

This is one of those songs that I get because I guess I lived it too. Sad, but true. I’m just glad it’s not a wimpy song.

Doll Parts

I am doll eyes
Doll mouth, doll legs
I am doll arms
Big veins, dog bait
Yeah, they really want you
They really want you, they really do
Yeah, they really want you
They really want you, and I do too
I want to be the girl with the most cake
I love him so much, it just turns to hate
I fake it so real, I am beyond fake
Someday you will ache like I ache
Someday you will ache like I ache
Someday you will ache like I ache
Someday you will ache like I ache
I am doll parts
Bad skin, doll heart
It stands for knife
For the rest of my life
Yeah, they really want you
They really want you, they really do
Yeah, they really want you
They really want you, but I do too
I want to be the girl with the most cake
He only loves those things
Because he loves to see them break
I fake it so real, I am beyond fake
And someday you will ache like I ache
And someday you will ache like I ache
Someday you will ache like I ache
And someday you will ache like I ache
Someday you will ache like I ache
Someday you will ache like I ache
Someday you will ache like I ache
Someday you will ache like I ache
