Chocolate Rain

Chocolate dripping down a wall
Reminds me of your smile
I see it almost every day
And I stare at it awhile
It speaks about your innocence
Your love of fun and life
The remnants of an ice cream war
The one you started that night
Now you're off in some new place
And I'm here missing you
I'm staring at the Chocolate Rain
...I wish you could see it too

Little Lizzie!!! I miss you...

Upfh!!!

Restless!!! *YOU* weren't supposed to be on here! Where did you come from, anyway? You haven't read this thing in.....months!!! Years, even!!!

::laughs::: Geez, I get on to post something else and there's some post I've never seen before!!

Well...at least you had the element of surprise, even if your post did lack a certain...creative flow.

ha. ha.

Eat a bug.

Or two.

I'm thinking about copying down a transcript of a conversation I had with three guys last night. What do you think about, RN? It would be verbatim, of course. Any objections to it???

Okay, forget Restless....

Brian Regan is hilarious.

The Red M&M is out there.

My apartment is empty.

...that's sad.

I'm moving tomorrow.

....that's cool.

I'm hungry. I should eat. ....Maybe I'll eat some Cappucino Chunky Vanilla ice cream...and THEN work out at the "Y" ALL NEXT WEEK to burn it off....

Okay, gotta run!

The Art Explained

The Art of M&Ming is the art of finding the M&M. Your M&M. You have to have the right one. Have to. It's a must. And it's hard. Very hard. There are a lot of Skittles out there--unless you're looking closely, you'll think the 'S' is an 'M' having a bad hair day.

Blue M&Ms are good. They are where the phrase "True Blue" comes from. (Okay, so maybe not, but I'd like to see you prove it.)

Yellow M&Ms...they are good too. Yellow is a happy color. Yellows cause True Happiness.

Green M&Ms .... uuuh ... :::giggles::: Well--Green is the only feminine M&M. M&M in this case does not stand for Mystery Man. I'm not exactly sure what it does stand for.... No further comment.

Red M&Ms are the best. They are the Pearls of Great Price. And they...they are the kind you have to fight for...HARD. They're out there. But they blend in so well with the suffering in the world. So well. But if you wait for them...you're rewarded.

I wrote this poem when I was 15 years old. I would probably write it differently now, but the thought and the feeling are the same now as they were then...

~The Art of M&Ming~
The Art of M&Ming is a special art indeed
For the M&M is not something found upon a steed
The right color you must find
Or surely you will lose your mind
No use pleasing was isn't true
So the color must be blue
But what of them, those who say
"The M&M won't find his way!"
Then the stories we are told
Of knights, strong and bold
Of men who love their women true
But then again, the answer's blue!
And so for you, you have your man
But what of me, and of my plan?
What is the color of blood just shed?
All will say, it is Red
And that will prove which I will wed
The only color for me is red.
Through the dark and through the night
He will come for he will fight.
Unknown to him what his prize will be
May I be made worthy if it is me~

I'm waiting for the Red M&M.
Some people tell me my standards are too high.
But I know they aren't.
I won't settle for anything less than a Red M&M.
He's worth it.
I'm worth it.
