Sleep and constructive uses of time are for pansies.

"Death is no different whined at than withstood"--Philip Larkin

Still trying to find an icon idea for today's subject header. Must say that it's totally a Nicky line. I love poetry; I always has some of the most awesome stuff to repeat. I just don't like reading it because it hurts my brain.

A.E Housman's "Is My Team Ploughing?"

'Is my team ploughing,
That I was used to drive
And hear the harness jingle
When I was man alive?'

Ay, the horses trample,
The harness jingles now;
No change though you lie under
The land you used to plough

'Is football playing
Along the river shore
With lads to chase the leather,
Now I stand up no more?'

Ay, the ball is flying
The lads play heart and soul,
The goal stands up, the keeper
Stands up to keep the goal.

Is my girl happy
That I thought hard to leave,
And has she tired of weeping
As she lies down at eve?'

Ay, she lies down lightly,
She lies not down to weep:
Your girl is well contented.
Be still, my lad, and sleep.

'Is my friend hearty,
Now I am thin and pine,
And has he found to sleep in
A better bed than mine?'

Yes, lad, I lie easy
I lie as lads would choose;
I cheer a dead man's sweetheart,
Never ask me whose.

I love how *evil* this poem is and how I can be random and imply from certain lines that the one guy is actually cheating on his friend with his friend's "girlfriend." It's a screwed up backstory in my head.

Read a manga today. Bleach 5. Ishida is beautiful but another one of those assholes at the moment, and Tatsuki has joined my ranks of kick-ass females. Orihime isn't too shabby herself. I think Chad has become my new favorite character.

Aww no love for the Psychosis drabbles. *tears*
