h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'm right here before you
my head in my hands
and I'll give you one thing
only you understand

I guess that I'm tired
of spinning around
embattled and broken
very near breaking down

there's so much to run from
so much to embrace
I'm caught between choices
which path should I take?

do I spread out my hands
and learn to be free
or do I bow under forces
bent down to my knees

there's so much that I want
so much I can't have
won't you show me what's good
and weed out the bad?

No need to be lost now
it's now all too clear
let me weep for a while
all I need is you here.

hmm. first stanza 6-5-6-6
second 6-5-6-6
third 6-5-6-5
fourth 6-5-8-5 (yikes!)
fifth 6-5-6-5
sixth 6-5-6-6

interesting. yet when I read it aloud to myself, it seems to work...

hmmmm.

Hello Jessie,

Just Spynxxx, your friendly miner type from the UnderGuide dropping by to snoop about for hidden goodies.That and to see how things are fairing for you here in hootoo land

I recall first coming here...hmmm, sounds like so long ago but it really isn't. Anyway, the site seemed so daunting and I wasn't all that sure about making friends and such as meeting folks, even in a virtual community, can be a bit daunting at times.

So as something of a good deed, public service I've decided to pop by and say hello. Hello . Really though I thought your submissions in the AWW merited further investigation into who you are and what makes you tick, the inside scoop and I'm really glad I did.

I must say that you strike me as a mighty fine human being, intellegent, articulate and interesting as well as being a fine wordsmith. I've enjoyed every submission so far and if this journal entry is any indication there's no shortage of fine work yet to come

So that's about it for today, don't want to overstay my welcome or have you wondering if I'm going to get all 'creepy uncle' on you . Later then.

Spynxxx

Ahh, thank you for your kindness! I'll let you know when you might be crossing the "creepy uncle" line!

I'm having fun keeping up with all the witty reparte, I assure you. Hootoo people are often quite funny. This has gone from being frightening to being a worthy challenge--if only I had as much time as i wished to devote to it!

Thank you again, and Happy Mining!
