I like to sleep with him - pushing in the pin

All nighter hurray!

Let's actually see if I can do it. I only have one class tomorrow so it's not too bad. I guess.

Fucking English essay. I don't know if the thread of my thoughts corresponds to the question I want to do. Bastarding "Great Expectations". D:

( Essay ramblings, mostly to self. )

Bollocks. Still not sure where I'm going with this.

Pointers? Is all the above bollocks?

And it's just like an ocean under the moon

Still not quite finished English essay. I lose at life. D:

But I have a question! Which volume of Sandman is this quote from:

But he did not understand the price. Mortals never do. They only see the prize. Their heart's desire, their dream...But the price of getting what you want is getting what you once wanted.

Also, any quotes about being stuck or unable to move on (esp. references to "Great Expectations") would be amazingly loved upon. ♥

POETRY.


I would like to give you the silver
branch, the small white flower, the one
word that will protect you
from the grief at the center
of your dream, from the grief
at the center. I would like to follow
you up the long stairway
again & become
the boat that would row you back
carefully, a flame
in two cupped hands
to where your body lies
beside me, and you enter
it as easily as breathing in

I would like to be the air
that inhabits you for a moment
only. I would like to be that unnoticed
& that necessary.

~ Margaret Atwood, Variations on the Word Sleep

Wow.

My man's got a heart...that's like a rock that's in the sea

I find this song amusing at the minute for two very important reasons.

1. Trinity and Rock in relation to this song.
2. I'm writing about Estella and her heart and this is the reversal of sex, in a way.

Anyways!

Very rough essay! (As in, the skeleton for the work to be based on.Very skeletal - frail bones, no real muscle!)

I would very much appreciate anyone to read this and tell me whether they think my argument is sound. ♥
