ya gotta believe

NY Mets 2006 NL East Champions!!

I believe in the church of baseball. I've tried all the major religions and most of the minor ones.I've worshipped Buddha, Allah, Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, trees, mushrooms and Isadora Duncan. I know things. For instance, there are 108 beads in a Catholic's rosary and there are 108 stitches in a baseball. When I learned that, I gave Jesus a chance. But it just didn't work out between us. The Lord laid too much guilt on me. I prefer metaphysics to theology. You see, there's no guilt in baseball. And it's never boring, which makes it like sex...It's a long season and you gotta trust it. I've tried them all, I really have, and the only church that truly feeds the soul, day in, day out, is the church of baseball - Annie Savoy Bull Durham

But I thought I was so much cooler....

I've been a flute player for 30 years and I always thought that I was destined for something so much cooler. Ha! Looks like I am what I am, huh?

wasting a bit of time

Your Element Is Fire

Your passion and emotion are as obvious as the brightest flame.
You make sparks fly, and your passion always has the potential to burst out.

You are exciting and creative - and completely unpredictable.
You sometimes exercise control, and sometimes you let yourself go.

Friends describe you as sensitive, spirited, and compulsive.
Bright and blazing with intensity, you seem mysterious and moody to many.

What's Your Element?

a long. long time ago

Ok, not that long, but about a year and a half ago, I did a meme called "where are you from"?
The rules, some examples and a whole lotta links are here. It is a poem about where you are from using common objects, nostalgia, places, people, etc.

I still get more links to this entry than any other so I thought I would post my response to the meme again and see if I can get anyone else interested in giving it a try. It was a lot of fun to write.

Ok, here's mine:

I am from Coleman lanterns, canvas tents that glow in the damp sun of Rhode Island mornings and summer camping trips on pine needle carpets.

I am from static-filled broadcasts on AM radios of baseball heroes—from Mays and Swoboda, from McGraw and Seaver. I am from late night car rides home from Shea Stadium, from sleeping on the backseat watching the tunnel lights slide by in yellow tubes, from the gentle “kathump kathump” of the highway, from “we’ll get ‘em next year” and “ya gotta believe!”

I am from Captain Kangaroo, The Electric Company, The Magic Garden with its chuckle patch, from Holly Hobbie and Easy Bake Ovens used to bake cat food pies. I am from harvest gold and avocado green, from turntables and cassettes, from Tupperware in cascading stacks in the pantry closet.

I am from warm, homemade Christmas cookies, from presents Christmas morning, from Santa, from magic.

I am from yarn bows in long pigtails, from Brownie Uniforms and hoagie sales. I am from 45s of Daddy’s Little Girl, from Dave Brubeck, from big bands, from stadiums that echo Sing Sing Sing…yeah, yeah.

I am from birthday parties at the roller rink and giggling pajama parties. I am from feathered hair and school dances.

I am from bands and auditions, from concerts and rehearsals. I am from trills and crescendos. I am from Sousa and Tchaikovsky. I am from Oklahoma! and Man of La Mancha, from West Side Story and Les Miserables and Wicked at times.

I am from Wonderful World of Disney on special Sunday nights eating in the living room with foil trays and Salisbury steaks, from Happy Days, from Little House on the Prairie, from the Waltons. I am from staying up late to watch the Grinch or the Great Pumpkin and from once a year showings of the Wizard of Oz at Grammie’s house in our PJs.

I am from books—from dusty pages and leather covers, from tearing bindings and watercolored pictures of silly ol’ bears and piglets. I am from classics and quirky novels. I am from Dr. Suess, The Fattest Cat, and The Monster at the End of This Book. I am from Irving, Tolkien, Kingsolver. I am from Dickens, Chaucer and Yeats.

I am from suspended disbelief, from ET, from StarWars, from all things possible.

I am from stubbornness, intelligence, creativity and pride. I am from tolerance and caring, from standing up for what’s right. I am from finding humor and adventure in the most unusual places. I am from dreamers and builders.

I am from finding spirituality in pine trees and campfires, in nature walks and quiet lakes, in silent stadiums and stages.

I am from family, from vacation adventures, from noisy, rambunctious boys, from laughing ‘til my sides hurt, from card games and board games, from singing in the car and from snuggling on the couch.

(ok, now go do yours and leave a link in the comments)

Wait for me...I wanna play too!

While I was gone all the cool kids were doing the quote meme. Go here and choose 5 (hah!) quotes that you like, that speak to you, that make you smile, whatever.

I think I am a quotaholic or a quote addict...anyway here are my 5 9 quotes:

A little nonsense now and then, is cherished by the wisest men.
Roald Dahl (1916 - 1990), (Willy Wonka) Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

The only freedom which deserves the name is that of pursuing our own good in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it. Each is the proper guardian of his own health, whether bodily, or mental or spiritual. Mankind are greater gainers by suffering each other to live as seems good to themselves, than by compelling each to live as seems good to the rest.
John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873), On Liberty, 1859

To be nobody-but-yourself -- in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else -- means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.
e e cummings (1894 - 1962)

A room without books is like a body without a soul.
Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC), (Attributed)

Woe be to him that reads but one book.
George Herbert (1593 - 1633)

Everybody likes to go their own way--to choose their own time and manner of devotion.
Jane Austen (1775 - 1817), Mansfield Park

I do not want people to be agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them.
Jane Austen

Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals ... except the weasel.
Matt Groening, The Simpsons

I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music.
George Eliot

Ok, so still no comments. I have emailed a few people who have much more of a clue about such things and hopefully someone (anyone?) will be able to help.

Until then...I thought I would be the very last person to hop on the photo meme.

You know the drill--ask me for photos of anything you want and as long as the requests are within reason (not too revealing or obscene) I will oblige.

email me the requests.

are there still six things??

Hmm. I have been tagged over at weaker vessel to tackle the "six things" meme. Are there six things I haven't managed to blather on about? Let's give it a go.

1) I used to have a pet raccoon. Actually, I had two pet raccoons, just not at the same time. One was named Kizzie (Roots was big at the time if that gives away my age a bit. I also had a cat named Kunta Kitty. No need to wonder where I get my peculiar sense of humor! lol) the raccoons were both rescues and were treated like any other family pet. They came in the house, learned to play football and knew how to reach through the couch and goose you while you were watching TV. They ate anything but were fond of fruit loops and mittens that were foolishly stuck through the outside cage.

2) I was excused from participating in tennis in gym in HS because I managed to hit myself in the head with a tennis racquet. Yes folks, that's how coordinated I am. Don't underestimate this. Do you know how difficult it is to accidentally whack yourself in the head with a racquet? It's a gift and I had the mesh-marked forehead to prove it. Anyway, it also got me out of archery.

3) I have John Denver's Greatest Hits (plus a few more) on my mp3 player. That's right, I know all the words too. And...I smile just a bit when they come on. That's just how cool I am.

4) I was a triple threat geek in HS--band, chorus and theater. And not just in a small way--concert band, jazz band, marching band, pit band, chorus, women's chorus, madrigals. I was in Guys and Dolls, Oklahoma, South Pacific, The Boy Friend and some summer stock. Oh yes, when I do geeky I go all out.

5) I am a Mets fan. Yes, yes, I know, that's not a new fact. But I hated Reggie Jackson so much that I once smooshed a stack of Reggie bars with my thumb in the store. I still feel a little guilty about that. I was a kid, really. Reggie was just in the movie Benchwarmers and when I saw him a little flood of guilt came whooshing back. Sorry Reg, really.

6) I cheated on my Girl Scout badges. I just signed the leader's name (my mom!) on the pages so I could get a cool amount of badges without having to do any nerdy activities dressed in that ridiculous green outfit. I still have the sash. I so would have gotten the forgery badge or the get out of doing things badge but they weren't in the book.

Tag 6 people?
Hmmm. Not sure who has already done this so the first 6 people to do it and post back get an ~~attaboy~~ ~~attagirl~~ attablogger

Ready...go!

the last one to play

Very cool music meme as seen everywhere else before you saw it here.

Go to your music player of choice and put it on shuffle. Say the following questions aloud, and press play. Use the song title as the answer to the question. NO CHEATING.

How does the world see you?
"Stay Home" by Self (Shrek Soundtrack) What? So I don't get out much. Shut it. :-)

Will I have a happy life?
"Nocturne" by Billy Joel Cold Spring Harbor I choose to think that this implies happy nights and not anything darker.

What do my friends really think of me?
"All Star" by Smash Mouth bwahahahahahha! I knew it! You guys rock, really!

Do people secretly lust after me?:
"Easy to Love" by Harry Connick Jr - Come By Me. I am not easy...oh wait....easy to love. Ok. Maybe. Don't ask Sparky though, he might not agree.

How can I make myself happy?
"Fever" by Michael Buble. Umm. ok.

What should I do with my life?
"The Beaches of Cheyenne" by Garth Brooks. Road trip? I don't think that would be the destination, but who knows?

Will I ever have children?
"Real Wild Child" by Brian Setzer - Rockabilly Riot hahahha. I swear this is what came up. I think it is warning me of what happened the last time we had some ;)

What is some good advice for me?
"Don't Let Me Die Still Wondering" by Flogging Molly - Within a Mile of Home

How will I be remembered?
"Writing to Reach You" by Travis - The Man Who. Writing? Not whining about writing? Not procrastinating instead of writing? We'll see...

What is my signature dancing song?
"What's On Your Mind (Pure Energy)" by Information Society. Haha. When I was an undergrad (the first time!) I was getting ready to go out to a party (which explains why I didn't graduate that time around!) and I was dancing to this album while curling my hair--it was the 80s after all--and dropped the curling iron into my eye. This resulted in me partying with a very pirate-y eye-patch for a week or so.

What do I think my current theme song is?
"Boppin' the Blues" by Brian Setzer - Rockabilly Riot. ok. maybe.

What does everyone else think my current theme song is?
"Medley:Aquarius/Let the Sun Shine" by 5th Dimension - Forrest Gump Sountrack ????

What song will play at my funeral?
"Prima Donna" - Sountrack - Phantom of the Opera. Hey! I am not!

What type of men/women do you like?
"Under Your Spell" - Soundtrack - Once More With Feeling (Buffy the Musical)

What is my day going to be like?
"alone" by Eddie From Ohio - This is Me. awwwww. that's no fun. The next song was "Anything Goes" - from the De-Lovely Soundtrack.

Ok, all that new music and it was a Soundtrack-fest. haha. I guess that's appropriate.

If there is anyone else on the planet who hasn't done this yet...have at it.

but i am right!

You Have a Choleric Temperament

You are a person of great enthusiasm - easily excited by many things.
Unsatisfied by the ordinary, you are reaching for an epic, extraordinary life.
You want the best. The best life. The best love. The best reputation.

You posses a sharp and keen intellect. Your mind is your primary weapon.
Strong willed, nothing can keep you down. Your energy can break down any wall.
You're an instantly passionate person - and this passion gives you an intoxicating power over others.

At your worst, you are a narcissist. Full of yourself and even proud of your faults.
Stubborn and opinionated, you know what you think is right. End of discussion.
A bit of a misanthrope, you often see others as weak, ignorant, and inferior.

What Temperment Are You?

But if someone's obsessed with you, look out! Your fans are downright freaky.

so often misunderstood...

Semicolon
You scored 30% Sociability and 82% Sophistication!

Congratulations! You are the semicolon! You are the highest expression of punctuation; no one has more of a right to be proud. In the hands of a master, you will purr, sneering at commas, dismissing periods as beneath your contempt. You separate and connect at the same time, and no one does it better. The novice will find you difficult to come to terms with, but you need no one. You are secure in your elegance, knowing that you, and only you, have the power to mark the skill or incompetence of the craftsman. You have no natural enemies; all fear you. And never, NEVER let anyone tell you that you cannot appear in dialogue!

My test tracked 2 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

tag, i'm it

I was tagged by scott. I’m supposed to list ten things that make me happy and then “charge six others with the same miserable burden.” So here goes…

1. kids playing without arguing
2. my morning ritual of tea and buffy
3. smelly, old books
4. cracking the binding on crisp, new books
5. the lightbulb moment when an idea really clicks and new research still looks promising.
6. Singing along to music. (Especially show tunes!) (thanks scott!)
7. making music with blawenburg
8. baseball (yes, even when the mets are....well, the mets! but also little league games with c or just playing in the yard with hubby and the boys)
9. snugging up with the boys and a good movie
10. blogging

Tag, you're it.
I won't tag you if six of you promise to give it a try, 'k? Yes, you too. I know you are reading, I checked the stats. :)
Now, have at it.

five questions

I saw this at B*'s. If you'd like to be asked questions, post a comment on this post and then I'll email 5 of them to you. You must then respond to the questions on your blog and offer to ask other people 5 questions.

1. When and how did you decide you wanted to go on to graduate school
in your field? Did you always "just know," or were you inspired in
some way?

2. When did you start loving the Mets and why?

3. What are you looking forward to about starting graduate school?

4. What is a fear or concern you have about starting graduate school,
and how will you take on and address this fear or concern?

5. What is the funniest or most entertaining thing your boys have said
or done lately?

answers are in the extended entry:

1. When and how did you decide you wanted to go on to graduate school
in your field? Did you always "just know," or were you inspired in
some way?
I had no idea at all what I wanted to be when I "grew up." After high school I went to college for music but the talented musician track didn't pan out so well. I wound up majoring more in drinking and dating and reasoned that it must have been because I was a terrible student - just not cut out for academics. But when the kids were little I thought I would go back to school and finish up. At least get some degree...something. I started back by taking the one course that scared me the most - the one that I knew I would hate the most. I knew that if I could get through that I would be fine. So I signed up for Research Writing. I had to take it. It was a core requirement. But this was the course I had dropped twice my last attempt at college.
I loved it. I loved the course, the prof, the assignment, but most of all just the environment. Still, a part of me was hesitant until the prof who would later turn out to be my advisor/mentor/friend told me that he was never a great student. He just loved the courses. He told me I should consider teaching college - go to grad school. And the light went on. I never thought that was an option for me. Now, I am not sure what else I would do.

2. When did you start loving the Mets and why?
hahaha. There are other teams?? I loved the Mets as soon as I was old enough to say "we'll get 'em next year!" I slept with a stuffed Dave Kingman doll and knew all the team stats. I have been around for both Mets World Series' wins (although I don't remember the first one!). We still listen or watch every game. I think I have only missed two this season and I was on vacation. They might not always win, but it's always an adventure. And it has always been a way to connect with family even if we felt far away - even when I was a rotten teenager there was always baseball to talk about. (And those were good Met years!) But there is something to be said for rooting for the underdog, and most years...the Mets are just that. It's a rollercoaster ride. Just today they had me cheering, anxious, angry and disappointed and that was in just one inning. lol.
The boys are being raised as good Met fans. They cheer for the Mets...and whoever is playing the Yankees ;)

3. What are you looking forward to about starting graduate school?
I can't wait to get started on just English classes. No more wasting time and money with core courses, just digging into the classes that I really enjoy. I can't wait to be challenged and worked up and get that feeling that you get after a heated discussion when the class is over and you still can't stop working through it in your head. I can't wait to get to that point in a research project where it isn't work any more, where you lose track of time for hours on end and are stuck in a giant pile of post-its and photocopies. I know it doesn't happen all the time and that I will spend a lot of time (most likely on here) griping about some assignment or another that is due and I haven't started, but every once in a while you just get in the groove and I love that.

4. What is a fear or concern you have about starting graduate school,
and how will you take on and address this fear or concern?
I have a pretty common fear, I think. I worry that someone is going to tap me on the shoulder and say, "Hey! You aren't supposed to be here. This is where the really smart people are. Who did you think you were kidding? We read that last paper and we know you were BS-ing." I worry that I am not prepared. I worry that I am not like some of the academics that I know that live only for research and work. I love it. But I also love a good cheesy movie. I love reading Chaucer and Langland but I also loved Time Traveler's Wife and sometimes it feels as if I don't fit in if I don't claim to be all academia all the time. Look at the answer above! Most of the profs I know just shake their head when I say I am going to watch a game. Baseball? Really?
How will I handle this? I just keep working at it. I know that my work has improved. I know that I was lucky to have friends that were also profs, who knew my goals and helped me along the way so that I would be more prepared. And if I don't fit in there? I will find somewhere that I do.
One of the nice things about reading academic blogs is that I get to see that some academics actually have other interests, and they even blog! lol. I also get to see that some of the fears that I have are common, especially ones that have to do with getting published, etc. Right now, I am going to handle this one class at a time. That's how I got through undergrad, that's how I will get through this. And the truth is that I understand it is going to be difficult. I know that I am going to be hard pressed to find a tenure track job that is within commuting distance. I realize that I am limiting things even further by choosing to be a Medievalist. But there isn't anything else I can see myself doing, anything else that I want to do.

5. What is the funniest or most entertaining thing your boys have said
or done lately?
When we were in Maine we were browsing in a cute kitschy shop in Bar Harbor. It is one of the places that has funny bumper stickers and magnets, t-shirts and gag gifts, etc. The boys were with us but we were steering them from the more inappropriate items. C came running over to me giggling and holding up what looked like an altoids tin. "Look at this mom! This is too funny!" he was laughing, "This tin says, 'I love my pennies!' Isn't that funny?" Only it didn't say "pennies" it said, "I love my penis!" and he is running around the store waving it in the air and laughing. Like a good mom I immediately looked for my camera while his brother wasted no time explaining C's error. This, of course, resulted in more laughing until we got so loud we thought it best to leave the store before we were asked to. Hey, between that and the boob mountains it was a fun day!

Move over Spock - you're the new master of logic

You think rationally, clearly, and quickly.

You scored as Postmodernist. Postmodernism is the belief in complete open interpretation. You see the universe as a collection of information with varying ways of putting it together. There is no absolute truth for you; even the most hardened facts are open to interpretation. Meaning relies on context and even the language you use to describe things should be subject to analysis.

books books books

a fun book meme sent over by N~

but before i start...if you haven't already checked, please go over to my reading group and check out the list of upcoming books. i would love to have more people join in. and yes, in answer to emails, it is open to absolutely anyone who wants to read along. and no, if you say you are interested and then can't finish the book, or your schedule gets crazy, we will not hunt you down. so go take a look at what's coming up.

ok, book meme:

You're stuck inside Fahrenheit 451, which book do you want to be?

This was the most difficult question for me because, *gasp* I have never read this (although I get the gist of the question) and how do you choose just one? So I have an idea. I would choose The Eyre Affair - Jasper Fforde so that I would have the ability to move between books. Cheating? Yes....and no. It may seem a strange choice, but a world where literature is the premiere form of entertainment and all else is secondary is very appealing. It isn't my all-time favorite book, but I think it suits me for this question.

Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?

Hell yes. Lots. But my favorites would be Mr. Knightley or Mr. Darcy. Yes, I know I am a cornball but they just don't make men like that any more! And look at the film adaptations--even modernizations. How can you not have a crush on Colin Firth as either Mr. Darcy or Mark Darcy?

The last book you bought is:

Blameless in Abaddon on a strong recommendation by mac. How could I resist a satirical book that causes arguments about religion and includes a religious theme park? I'll let you know how it is. I am looking forward to it.

The last book you read:

White Teeth - Zadie Smith. I first read this one about two summers ago and fell immediately in love with it. I recently finished a re-read in a Contemp. Brit. Lit. course. So while technically this is the last book I read, it was for class. Having said that, if you haven't read this one, you should. Amazing debut for a young writer. The book spans multiple generations of two families in London. The families are connected by the unlikely friendship of Archie and Samad who met "fighting" in the war. It deals with race, gender and the complexities of family. Go have a look at the reviews since I cannot do it justice.

What are you currently reading?

Lost in a Good Book - Jasper Fforde. This is the sequel to the book in my first answer. I am enjoying it so far, but it isn't quite as strong or engaging as the first. I'll post a review when I get through.

Five books you would take to a deserted island:

First of all....five????? Who could possibly survive on a deserted island with just five??? sheesh!
Ok, here goes....Riverside Chaucer (c'mon...you had to see that one coming!), Poisonwood Bible - Barbara Kingsolver, A Prayer for Owen Meany - John Irving, Les Miserables - Victor Hugo, Gone with the Wind - Margeret Mitchell. (Can't we bring huge Norton's anthologies??? I am not going to make it with just 5 books!)

Who are you going to pass this stick to (3 people) and why?
See now, I am posting this so that everyone gets to play. 3 people? oh no, I was stuck being limited to 5 books, I am not limiting this to three people! If you don't have a blog you can post in the comments or just answer the questions you think might be fun.

Off to nap. My node id all stupped up.

where are you from?

i thought if i was going to ask you to write where you are from i should work on it myself.

i am still tweaking and playing with this and will continue to edit for a long time, but here is the first draft:

I am from Coleman lanterns, canvas tents that glow in the damp sun of Rhode Island mornings and summer camping trips on pine needle carpets.

I am from warm, homemade Christmas cookies, from presents Christmas morning, from Santa, from magic.

I am from birthday parties at the roller rink and giggling pajama parties. I am from feathered hair and school dances.

I am from suspended disbelief, from ET, from StarWars, from all things possible.

I am from finding spirituality in pine trees and campfires, in nature walks and quiet lakes, in silent stadiums and stages.

(ok, now go do yours and leave a link in the comments)

1. Sideways. See it before the Oscars

2. Ya Gotta Believe - Tug McGraw's autobiography, written shortly before his death. Read it for Tim's preface if nothing else - it'll make you cry.

3. Since I know you have Ari Hests's Columbia debut CD Someone to Tell, I'd recommend Come Home, which is an indie CD he released while he was still in college.

Now, for three questions -

What is your name?
What is your quest?

2. i probably do the most damage at target locally. but online, with unlimited funds?? i could buy out levenger or borders.
3. sitting around the campfire listening to mets games on the radio...or riding back late at night from shea, lying in the backseat, hugging my "sky" kingman doll, watching the lights in the tunnel flicker by overhead, listening to the ka-thump, ka-thump of the highway.

"Any more than she needs?"

(Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West - Gregory Maguire)

Not much of a sentence, but a really good book. I am taking a break in between books for class and test prep books, at least for tonight.

Grabbed this from a blog on blogexplosion. Wish I knew which one.....I wandered away.

quick catch that bandwagon

i wanna jump on!!!

i don't usually play, but this sounds like it could be interesting!

Think of 3 pictures you'd like to see. Leave whatever you'd like to see in the comments. Things around my house, or whatever... something I can take a picture of easily. Once I have enough requests, I'll start posting them. If I can't, or won't, take a picture of something you've requested, I'll let you know.

ok, play nice and i'll see what i can do!

You speak eloquently and have seemingly read every
book ever published. You are a fountain of
endless (sometimes useless) knowledge, and
never fail to impress at a party.
What people love: You can answer almost any
question people ask, and have thus been
nicknamed Jeeves.
What people hate: You constantly correct their
grammar and insult their paperbacks.

rainy day boredom

means it's time for a quiz...

hmm. me and plath. who would've thought. oh shush. i know, i know.

Which poem are you?

The Mad Girl's Love Song by Sylvia Plath

To you, love is desperate and hateful. You're wildly passionate and wildly inventive. You're also likely to start stalking people.

Click Here to Take This Quiz
Brought to you by YouThink.com quizzes and personality tests.

Here's the poem that the quiz picked:

Mad Girl's Love Song

"I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade:
Exit seraphim and Satan's men:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I fancied you'd return the way you said,
But I grow old and I forget your name.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
At least when spring comes they roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)"

Here's the one I would have wanted....it is one of my all time favorites and the only poem I have ever memorized:

William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)

When You Are Old

When you are old and gray and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face among a crowd of stars.

but honestly i am probably more plath than yeats. whatcha gonna do?

	WATER OF AIR. You're aloof, depressed and seasoned. You'd make a good psychologist, executioner, black widow, arsenic poisoner, heretic queen or commentator. You're too witty for your own good. Have to get up early in the morny morn to fool you, as you spot lies a mile away. And WOE TO THOSE who dare attempt such a stupid move.

We were walking
Just the other day
It was so hot outside
You could fry an egg.
Remember you were talking
I watched as sweat ran down your face
Reached up and I caught it at your chin
Licked my fingertips

We were just wasting time
Let the hours roll by
Doing nothing for the fun
A little taste of the good life
Whether right or wrong
Makes us want to stay, stay, stay for awhile

Then later on the sun began to fade
Then the clouds rolled over our heads
And it began to rain
Oh, we were dancing mouths open
Splashing tongue taste
For a moment this good time would never end
You and me
You and me
Just wasting time
I was kissing you,
You were kissing me love
From good day into a moonlight
Now a night so fine
Makes us wanna stay, stay, stay, stay for awhile

Makes you wanna...
Makes me wanna...
Don't it make you wanna?

Wasting time
I shall miss this thing
When it all rolls by
What a day...
Wanna stay, stay, stay, stay for awhile

Hey love
Oh just groping you
Rolling in the mud
Stay a while
Come on love
Wanna stay, stay, stay, stay for awhile

Makes me wanna, makes me wanna stay.

Makes me wanna, makes me wanna stay... don't it?
Make you wanna stay... don't it?

I'll have to re-read my LWB on that as I don't remember the attributes off the top of my head, but depending on the type of reading majors work as well, so the Empress has possibilities; I don't see you as the High Priestess. In my deck, you'd fit the Queen of Pentacles far too well, but that's a completely personal interpritation.
