Sherwood in the twilight, is Robin Hood awake? Grey and ghostly shadows are gliding through the brake, Shadows of the dappled deer, dreaming of the morn, Dreaming of a shadowy man that winds a shadowy horn. Robin Hood is here again: all his merry thieves Hear a ghostly bugle-note shivering through the leaves, Calling as he used to call, faint and far away, In Sherwood, in Sherwood, about the break of day. Merry, merry England has kissed the lips of June: All the wings of fairyland were here beneath the moon, Like a flight of rose-leaves fluttering in a mist Of opal and ruby and pearl and amethyst. Merry, merry England is waking as of old, With eyes of blither hazel and hair of brighter gold: For Robin Hood is here again beneath the bursting spray In Sherwood, in Sherwood, about the break of day. Love is in the greenwood building him a house Of wild rose and hawthorn and honeysuckle boughs: Love is in the greenwood, dawn is in the skies, And Marian is waiting with a glory in her eyes. Hark! The dazzled laverock climbs the golden steep! Marian is waiting: is Robin Hood asleep? Round the fairy grass-rings frolic elf and fay, In Sherwood, in Sherwood, about the break of day.

Scratching At The Coffin Silk

Poetic? Monday, August 20, 2001 10:55 p.m. I’m nobody! Who are you? Are you nobody, too? Then there’s a pair of us — don’t tell! They’d banish us, you know. How dreary to be somebody! How public, like a frog To tell your name the livelong day To an admiring bog! ~Emily Dickenson Death Clock Monday, August 6, 2001 12:00 p.m. Want to know when you are going to shuffle off this mortal coil? Well, here ya go! The death clock. ^^ My time? It's: Friday, November 9, 2057 I'm going to be an insane old cat lady! Woohoo! When ya gonna die? My god, I'm sick! Monday, August 6, 2001 11:27 a.m. Hey!

Thursday, August 2, 2001 10:58 p.m. Ooooooo! Two blog entries from Arion in the span of mere hours? What is the world coming to? *Chuckles* Actually, I just visited Moonsong's blog, which has a link to a site that tells you your past life. I figured I would post mine here: Your past life diagnosis: I don't know how you feel about it, but you were female in your last earthly incarnation. You were born somewhere in the territory of modern South Japan around the year 1200. Your profession was that of a trainer or holder of fine animals, such as birds.. Your brief psychological profile in your past life: Person with huge energy, good in planning and supervising. If you were just garbage-man, you were chief garbage-man. The lesson that your last past life brought to your present incarnation: You are bound to learn to understand other people and to meet all difficulties of life with a joyful heart. You should help others by bringing them a spirit of joy. Hmmm....An animal handler, eh? Well, maybe I was a trainer of ferrets? Lyra-chan! Post your results too, ne? Gods, but I love Nyquil. (Is that how you spell it?) And on that fine note, I will cease yammering. ^_^ Walking on broken glass Thursday, August 2, 2001 01:37 p.m. I feel icky. I think I have been infected by The Joe Virus. Perhaps it is an unknown strain of Ebola? (Eww! Now that would suck!) Oh he *said* he only had allergies....Okay, cool. But now, my head is pounding,I can't breathe right, my eyes are burning and I am having sneezing fits. Heheh! And obviously, I'm feeling pretty whiny too, eh? I joined some other picture gallery thing yesterday. I have only placed one picture up so far-I wanted to test the waters a bit, you know. Anyway, it is Mediaminer Go and find me under R-for Riathynn, of course. ^^ And VOTE for my picture! Pleeeeeaasse? ^_^ Family Outing Friday, July 20, 2001 10:42 a.m. I'm at work. It is so very uninspiring. ^^ I feel a bit poor today, as my little car ate up $260.00 in getting new brakes put on. Oh well, at least I no longer hear the comforting sound of metal grating against metal when I stop at a light. We went to Casa Bonita with my cousins yesterday. For those of you who are Denver challenged, it's this cheeseball theme restaurant that serves extremely mediocre Mexican food; but serves it in a most unusual atmosphere. It is, if their pr is true, the largest restaurant in the world. It's attractions include divers and a haunted cave. (Oooo, how spooky!) Now, I am rather anti-social. I hate crowds, and this place was overflowing with screaming children and the rude breeders that spawned them. And, since I wear my make-up heavy and look a bit dead, let me tell you, I felt like the crowd was ready to burn me at the stake. ^_~ Oh, how I love family outings! Is the family torture ended? Nah. Tonight, the cousins are coming over for dinner! Maybe they will go home early........ Chu! Thursday, July 19, 2001 02:32 a.m. Well, as usual, I have no idea what to say. ^_^ I watched an anime called Ebichu a few days ago. Man, was it strange, It's hilarious, but straaange! The main character is a hamster named Ebichu, who is owned by an "office woman who is 25, the oldest a Japanese woman should marry." The hamster does the housework, and worries endlessly over her mistress's unmarried state. ^^ Mistress does have a beau, voiced by that seiyuu who plays Youji in WeiB. There is sex, violence and Mah Johng galore. Heehee! Okay, I have to go to sleep now. I shall blog more soon. Oyasumi!
