A few words
"When we describe the Moon as dead, we are describing the deadness in ourselves. When we find space so hideously void, we are describing our own unbearable emptiness." ~ D.H. Lawrence "Is the meaning of life defined by its duration? Or does life have a purpose so large that it doesn't have to be prolonged at any cost to preserve its meaning?" "Living is not good, but living well. The wise man, therefore, lives as well as he should, not as long as he can... He will always think of life in terms of quality not quantity... Dying early or late is of no relevance, dying well or ill is... even if it is true that while there is life there is hope, life is not to be bought at any cost." ~ Seneca "People will tell you nothing matters, the whole world's about to end soon anyway. Those people are looking at life the wrong way. I mean, things don't need to last forever to be perfect." ~ Daydream Nation "All Bette's stories have happy endings. That's because she knows where to stop. She's realized the real problem with stories-- if you keep them going long enough, they always end in death." ~ The Sandman: Preludes & Nocturnes "The road now stretched across open country, and it occurred to me - not by way of protest, not as a symbol, or anything like that, but merely as a novel experience - that since I had disregarded all laws of humanity, I might as well disregard the rules of traffic. So I crossed to the left side of the highway and checked the feeling, and the feeling was good. It was a pleasant diaphragmal melting, with elements of diffused tactility, all this enhanced by the thought that nothing could be nearer to the elimination of basic physical laws than deliberately driving on the wrong site of the road." ~ Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita "It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend." ~ William Blake Think about it Musicalities! Kill that boredom!

Jhonen Vasquez's site Overheard in New York Passive Aggressive Notes Submarinechannel.com Superdickery UHpinions Whirled | The smell of decay Sunday, June 26, 2011 Everytime something dies around our house, it dies near my room. Why this is I'm not quite sure, but it's happened on more than one occasion. I knew there was at least one rat living in our attic, since I'd seen it scurrying up the tree outside my window before. I didn't think it was LIVING right above my room, though. The aforementioned tree: Anyway, my room had been smelling unbelievably horrible for a couple days, and I couldn't figure out why. Needless it say, it was rather distressing. I was really worried I had spontaneously developed horrible inexplicable body odor or something, and I imagine that would greatly decrease my chances of successful relationships in the future. Thankfully that wasn't the case. My dad wanted to run a network cable down to the uh... outlet? in my room, and I don't think we would've figured out what the smell was if not for that. Apparently he asked my mom to throw away a stick, and then said "oh, could you throw this away too?" and handed her a dead rat in a bag. She uh, didn't respond well. First she screamed some, then complained that he really shouldn't be handing her dead rats in bags without warning her first. I had to breathe through my mouth while I was taking this picture because it smelled so bad. THE THINGS I DO FOR BLOGGING... Sometimes I wonder if he does these things on purpose or if he really is just that nonchalant about it. The smell has been ebbing away, thankfully, but I found a big fat fly buzzing around my room. I really hate the noise flies make, so I spent some time trying to catch it and succeeded in capturing it in the jar we usually use for spiders. I took it out and put it on the table, and my dad looked at it and said "looks like the kind that eats dead things." Dirty fly, dirty spider jar. Guess we know why it was attracted to my room, then? The smell of rot I find so nauseating is probably super delicious to flies, if they actually have senses of smell. Bleargh. My parents were speculating that the heat may have killed the rat, since it gets pretty hot in the attic and we had a few days of 90+ degree weather. Dead rat + hot attic = completely putrid. 2 Comments. Ew. Just ew. That sucks that they all seem to be attracted to your room. » LostSoul13 on 2011-06-27 09:51:43 I'm currently living in an apartment where I can't open any winders (well, there are two but I would need to be almost 2x my current height in order to open it). Otherwise I would have opened my window to smell the rain too. Maybe there is some hole in your house near your room that provides an easy access for the mouse the other intruders? I'm glad that your dad found it though. I can't even imagine what it would smell like as the summer gets hotter. :/ » thisdisease on 2011-06-29 01:26:55
