fanfic recs & music _Myths & Shadow Plays

New Fic Reccomendation! Check out 'Myths and Shadow Plays' by Christina K. (that's the same person who did the awseome BtVS/Smallville crossover 'Runaway Trains at 3am', which is one my favorite Dawn-fics). This is a Spike fic though... a crazy Spike fic. But I loved it. You could go through the whole thing just trying to catch all the literary references. And the voice of Crazy!Spike is perfect. Perfectly Spike and perfectly Crazy.


ok... in other news, I worked out finally excactly what I'm going to put on my B/S cd...( Read more... )

I wanted to include the instrumental piece from The Last Of The Mohicans called "The Kiss" too, but it was just a shade too long to fit, even at less than three minutes. But I've got this crammed full of Spuffy goodness. Often angsty Spuffy goodness. And I actually have anough songs for a whole nother CD... but that would be too much.

poetry

Since everyone's in a poem mood, I thought I'd contribute...

One of my favorite poems:


Love seeketh not Itself to please,
Nor for itself hath any care;
But for another gives its ease,
And builds a Heaven in Hells despair.

So sang a little Clod of Clay,
Trodden by the cattle’s feet;
But a Pebble of the brook;
Warbled out these metres meet.

Love seeketh only Self to please,
To bind another to its delight;
Joys in another’s loss of ease,
And builds a Hell in Heavens despite.


--'The Pebble and the Clay', William Blake



And here's something I wrote one day in class last year for B/S. This is what one does when one doesn't bother much with one's math grade.
If you think it sucks, shut up. If you think its cool, talk. If you couldn't give a horse's ass, well, you talk too.


Thin Line Between
by Sara Weir


dancing dancing, slash and stab
in and out and jump and jab
swirl left, jibe right and up
grasping fingers pull and pain
brushing, touching; feel again
back and back till back is front
warring, courting, torn apart
thrown together baring hearts
hate and love so thick we choke
so thick it ends
so thick we kiss just to make it last

I was in a minor car accident today.

I was backing out of my driveways onto the street, when an oncomming car hit me.

I said it was my fault, when apparently it wasn't, because I was stopped. But I was nervous and intimidated, and I'm so not ready to be an adult yet.

The damage was minor to both trucks, but he was making me feel like it was my fault, and I was nervous and susceptible and my friend was in the seat next to me and I couldn't find the insurance papers and it was my Dad's Yukon and now I can't stop crying.

I mean, I THOUGHT I ahd doen everything right... I had judged the distance between his truck and mine to be a safe distance, I'd backed out, and right in that moment after getting across the stree when I was reaching to change gears to go forward, I was hit. He was making it out to be my fault, like I was backing out into *traffic*. There was no TRAFFIC. He was far away and the other lane was completely empty.

But I'm a mess right now. My parents are taking it better than I am, and they're not yelling or anything but I feel so awful. My dad said I should sit down and write down in a bullet list everything I've learned from this experience, and it should calm me down. I did, and its not helping.

It would have been so much easier if it was my car,which is old and used, and not his truck, which was expensive and is only less than four years old.
