I confess that earlier today, some pretty thing posted her picture in one of those "post a pic of you" threads around here. Interestingly it was, and continues for the moment to remain, her only post here on the WP; no words, just a pic... And, thinking of this post, I decided to (basically) tell her how gorgeous I thought she was; I was honest in everything I said, but I said it because I was curious to see whether or not I would feel any emberassment over doing so. I did not; not even a little. But, it was interesting to think about how I might have been horribly emberassed to say something like that half of my lifetime ago, back in highschool. It is funny how the world turns...
Good fortune,

I confess, a strange irony twisted with a mad ghost tale:
AnonymousAnonymous tells Gwen she is gorgeous; he blushes and she appears pleasantly flattered; all is right with the world.
I tell unlimtedbredstikz she is gorgeous; she told me that my compliment made her blush (and smile), and I was pleasantly flattered; all is right with the world. (And she turned out to be a crazy chemistry geek!)
Then the ghost of DeForrest Kelley appears before me, dressed in his old blue-shirt uniform and carrying a tricorder; he is surrounded by a strange white glowing aura, and his left eyebrow is raised in stern annoyance. He utters, "Damnit Jim! I'm a doctor, not a brick layer!", and then he vanishes. And now I feel like a
horta is going to burn thru the wall next to me and try to reduce me to a smoking ash silhouette; but now that DeForrest's ghost has given me his cryptic warning, I'm listening for her approach, and will escape. And something deep down inside me tells me there is no other way in which events could have possibly unfolded…
WTF!?!
Good fortune,
- Icarus Is Dreaming
