Wood beneath my fingers.

Like from a tree, dammit!

Yeesh. Some people.

[songwind.livejournal.com]

That's the joy of words, though - so many meanings. :)

[auryn29a.livejournal.com]

BAHAHAHA! I feel so innocent that I didn't see that!

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

With me, it was a banister. Descending slowly.

For once, it's not me with the dirty mind. :P

[songwind.livejournal.com]

I'm sleep-dep boy this week, so my brain is doing doing the weird free-association thing. It just happened to be dirty this time.

Of course it could be the start of some fan fic porn with Oliver Wood from the Harry Potter series... :)

You just HAD to say that, didn't you? You just had to get me thinking about him again... Man, I was almost completely OVER it. ::sigh:: Must be kismet.

::crazy::

[aki-dreaming.livejournal.com]

I love this one! More as soon as I can...

I'll just do a short one here, if that's okay.

Saturday nights in junior high school are for arcade games and pool. But you can't win money playing arcade games.

There's my allowance, in the form of a twenty-dollar bill, on the rail. I feel lucky. I'm not going to play shithouse. I'm going to play with skill and patience. It's odd; as I prepare to break, I can smell the pale, dead odor of the cue chalk, feel its grittiness on my fingers, and between my index and middle fingers, the smooth yet slightly-worn surface of the cue, ready to strike.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

*grin* Always okay, and more than okay.

[mgrasso.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I need all the mini-writing workouts I can get. :)

[auryn29a.livejournal.com]

I winced a bit when reading it because I initially saw "Wood beneath my fingernails." Silly me.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Painslut. :P

[auryn29a.livejournal.com]

No, no. I've just been reading a lot of Hellblazer lately. Torture on my mind. (And now I'm imagining a parody of "Heaven On Their Minds.")

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

*grin* How are you doing lately, sweetie?

[auryn29a.livejournal.com]

Apart from the gout? I'm doing well. Life is appealling. I think I'll rearrange my living room today.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

*nod* I'm fairly functional myself. Housework may occur here as well - which is excellent, as it is desperately needed.

[auryn29a.livejournal.com]

I wish you much energy and will this day. *hug*

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

*hugback* Thank you, m'dear. :)

Did you ever know that you’re my hero,
And everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
For you are the wood beneath my fingers.

Hmm. Doesn't quite scan.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Noooooot really.

[robyn-ma.livejournal.com]

Ha! Y'all ready for this:

I have only come here seeking knowledge
Things they wouldn’t teach me of in college
I can see the destiny you sold
Turned into a bannister of wood

I’ll be wood beneath your fingers
I’ll be wood beneath your fingers

*nods decisively*

porn or nature?

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Nature. :)

1. Hello, I hope you don't mind that I added you.
2. I don't really understand what a writing prompt is.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

1. I don't mind a bit. :)
2. Random words or images that I throw out to kick-start the writers on my list. If the image of wood beneath your hand starts a bit of a story going in your head, fiction or nonfiction, write it! You can post it or not, up to you, but I love to see what people write based on the prompts. Participation is, of course, in no way mandatory - just if any prompt any day catches your fancy.

[lamaupin.livejournal.com]

1. :)
2. Hmmmmmmm...I think I like this game.

'Song said wood. Huhhuhhuhuhuhuhhu ehhhehehehe ehheheheh uhuhuhuh.

;)

But seriously, just dropping in to say you'll be getting a package before Saturday. :) I'd say by tomorrow, but I don't know if the USPS can live up to its promise.

WEEEEEEEE.
