Happy Birthday

Nov. 8th, 2005 11:33 amI 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?
*with thanks to the magnificent

You know, it's very hard to resist the utter timewasting experience of picking names out of my friends list and creating my own idea of what their mini-mes should look like. Feels like a dangerous experiment...
Actually, no experiment is too dangerous, and I am capable of virtually nothing today, so here they come. Recognise anyone? (No point looking for
binidj or
november_girl or
jul1et as they've made their own teeny avatars beyond all hopes to equal!)
Meet number 1:

Number 3, with due apologies for the lack of green, but at least the replacement matches her eyes.

and the lovely number 4:

now I must stop. That really is enough futility for one day.
