today is a shitty day. im - how can i put this nicely - suffering from female complaints. add to that the fact that i forgot sam is coming this weekend (thats the one good thing going on) and were going to visit her brother and sister and pretty much spend the weekend on the beach. lovely, ill fit right in, i feel like a whale. just go ahead and roll me back into the ocean, ive done gone beached myself <_< i feel fat and bloated and pissy and totally not in the mood for company. so hopefully some beach therapy will do me some good. alcohol might help too :p lol

Brenda,
It’s your birthday, and you know what that means? It’s the one special day out of the whole year when everyone celebrates YOU! You might get presents from friends and family, free drinks from your friends at the bar, a party thrown in your honor, special treatment or a day off of work, you get to make people feel bad if they forget to tell you “Happy Birthday,” and you might even get to wear a cool party hat. But you know what else you get on your birthday? An e-mail from the radio station that loves you most, CD101.

Happy Birthday from Columbus' Best Radio Station - CD101!

all soul's night

Bonfires dot the rolling hillsides
Figures dance around and around
To drums that pulse out echoes of darkness
Moving to the pagan sound.

Somewhere in a hidden memory
Images float before my eyes
Of fragrant nights of straw and of bonfires
And dancing till the next sunrise.

I can see lights in the distance
Trembling in the dark cloak of night
Candles and lanterns are dancing, dancing
A waltz on All Souls Night.

Figures of cornstalks bend in the shadows
Held up tall as the flames leap high
The green knight holds the holly bush
To mark where the old year passes by.

I can see lights in the distance
Trembling in the dark cloak of night
Candles and lanterns are dancing, dancing
A waltz on All Souls Night.

Bonfires dot the rolling hillsides
Figures dance around and around
To drums that pulse out echoes of darkness
And moving to the pagan sound.

Standing on the bridge that crosses
The river that goes out to the sea
The wind is full of a thousand voices
They pass by the bridge and me.

I can see lights in the distance
Trembling in the dark cloak of night
Candles and lanterns are dancing, dancing
A waltz on All Souls Night.
