Ooh, the shiny.

Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

Ooh, the shiny.

Ooh, the shiny. New people and old people and people of medium age. I guess I'm old. Not really that much, but old enough.

Yeah, that's right everybody! THE QUINTUS IS IN THE HOUSE, YET AGAIN! I await your flowers at any moment. Gehehehe.

So I was REALLY busy because high school is hard, and I had some personal stuff going on that needed to be taken care of ASAP and involved abstaining from the Internet. My FP followers aren't very happy...

But, because I always return with a poem to make things right and/or weird people out, here you go, my lovelies:

Winning by losing, like sailing by sinking
And all through the while you know what they're thinking
"Cast away, cast away, cast away all
There's a time to fly and a time to fall."

From whence did it come, that oily wave?
Not dancing or tossing, but worked like a slave
It built me my castle, it built me my keep
It built me these walls and ne'er did it sleep

Until one day it left, without any warning
Disappeared into the bright cold morning
It left me my castle, it left me my keep
It left me these walls in a cold, cold heap

I saw it no more, but needed it none
All had turned right with the dawn of the Sun
It had been my companion, that watery beast
Without it next to me I was the least

The time draws nigh, the curse draws near
And all through the winter they know what you fear
"There's a time to fly and a time to fall
Cast away, cast away, forgotten doll."

DON'T ASK ME WHAT IT MEANS. I came up with it on the spot after hearing a weird conversation and a previous English assignment.

O newcomers, introduce thyselves in the dooblydoo, and DFTBA.

Aaaanddd... she's back! Again!

 

Red, did  you ask about PETA? It's an organization of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Someone asked about it earlier today, and I forgot to answer before posting the comment. Now I can't find the question or who it was from.

@Admin

No, Ruby asked about it, but Ruby and Red are friends, so it should get passed on.  It was on the dream thread.  Joe Dosie Do later replied with what the acronym stood for, also.

 

Thanks, Melody. I sawy JDD's answer right after I posted mine.

Ah no, that was me. Thanks for answering. 

Quintus is back! I wonder how long she will be back! Quintus, what color is your hair now? Still silver? Speaking of silver, is SilverWing gone for good?

Tiffany is back too. As FantasyQuill. 

The new people are: Theo/Lexi (not sure if you've met him/her?), Magda, Joe Dosie Doe, and I think that's all. Yup.

Yep, still silver, although it's grown out a little so you can totally see my roots. Which are blond, and that's weird, for I am not blond.

Mt bro's really busy with all kinds of stuff and he's going to France in two weeks, which is cool. So I guess he's gone for a while until I drag him back kicking and screaming.

TIFFANY!! (ahem) Uh, FantasyQuill! You're back! Yay!

Nice poem, and welcome back!

Hey Quintus! Glad to see you're back as well.

Hi Quintus! I is Theo, but I also post as Lexi, hence remaning genderless. Both of my nom de plumes were created after book characters, but they seem to have switched personilitys, since when posting as Theo I seem to have a louder voice, and Lexi seems more quite and subtle. Go figure.

Welcome back!

We shall be good friends, I am sure.
