Gastric symphonies

[smokingboot]

I have never heard my stomach make these noises before, like the songs of a jungle, lost in time and methane, where winged reptiles chitter and dark swamp things reply.

But it's the creaking I find most disturbing. Perhaps I am the good ship Demeter reborn in human shape, half-recollecting the lurch into Whitby with Drac's coffin in my hold and a dead man lashed to my wheel. Maybe I am a formica cyborg with a dodgy chip and nobody told me. Or we could just stick to the feasible and accept that a tree ent is going to burst out of my stomach any minute.

I need a new set of intestines, preferably quiet ones. These look nice*

One wonders if the pattern comes with instructions on how to knit contents. That would be quite sweet; soft pink intestines out of which you squeeze little crocheted chocolate ovals; squeeze hard enough and you could hit someone across the room with them.

OK, that made me laugh and when I laugh, the dinosaurs/swamptrolls meep and gibber. Time to lie down.

Despite the cacophony, I feel a lot better today. Who'd have thought improvement would be so loud?

I feel the same...and speaking of unravelling, I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I can't comment on your post with the exquisite icons you made. Thank you so much for sharing them, they are beautiful. The hyena, the bat, the deer herd, the phoenix and the satyr have all come home with me. The strawberries are looking attractive too.

This is ridiculous. I have too many icon choices. And I want to change my page layout again - I blame your rampant creativity:-)

That's odd. You should be able to comment as long as you're logged in. I'm not allowing anons at the moment (paranoid), but otherwise.... Have you tried commenting on any of the other posts?

Aww, I'm glad the satyr has found a home. The mediaeval icons do look smashing against a black or very dark layout, and while I love my Component layout with the Beowulf bg, I think I'll have to stick with Boxer for a little longer.

And I should stop making icons, but they're so soothing when I'm stressed and don't feel like talking. :D

Don't stop making icons, you do it so beautifully. You take stuff no-one else even thinks about; They all have that sense of picture box about them, a story behind each one. If it soothes you and pleases everyone who sees it, how can it be bad?

No problems replying on other posts, don't know what it was before. Oh well.
