Yes! Yes! Yes! I'm So Happy!
Thank You for your Confidence,
Sweet Heart
Your letter was so wonderful!Thank you, thank you
for giving us another chance!
*leaps for glee*
Again --- remember
I know
that we hardly know each other, really
except in these wacky e-mails
but that there is something special here
that's worth investigating further!
Who knows what will happen
between us when I get back?
*shrugs*
*smiles*
But it's worth finding out, right?
*laughs*
And can I tell you that I'm so happy
about what inspired your letter?!
When I read your first few lines
I was afraid that maybe
I had guilted you into a phoney reconciliation
with all my whining of the last few days
But to hear that you read all our messages again
from the beginning until now
--- and that's what changed your heart ---
somehow gives me so much more confidence!
What you read is what you get!
*spreads arms*
*closes eyes shyly*
*smiles*
Nobody's Sleeping Again Tonight
. . . but who cares?I'm happy.
That's all.
The psych-out has already begun
The enemy is singing
It sounds like a spooky soccer crowd
It echos across the valley
It's intended to make us nervous
and keep us awake
The Pope's Junior Varsity Army
. . . lead byGeneral Conractor Facino "The Dog" Cane
. . . is camped in wait
on the hills opposite
We will meet them tomorrow
Their Varsity Squad is up by Venice right now
luckily for us, I guess
Our General Contractor, Hawkwood
will take the center
and apparently will let Regine have free reign
over the far left wing
. . . which will bring us face to face
with the The Witch's Company
on their far right wing
Who Let the Dogs Out
So we start singing"War! Huh!
good god, y'all
What is it good for?
Absolutely Nothin'!
say it again"
And then we start singing
Who Let the Dogs Out
while sharpshooters clean their breeches by night
Fighting Dreams With Dreams
Everybody's doing way superstitious thingsto prepare for tomorrow's Big Meeting
What I decided to do was:
a) Write your name on a silk headband
which I will wear tomorrow
Ok, ok, ok, I know it's a bad joke!
But, hey, I haven't slept in 3 days
and I'm punchy, OK?
*laughs*
b) Write my new Latin Motto
on my shield ---
Deus, id futuat
which means
"God Fuck It!"
(as in "God Damn it!", only stronger)
(as in "I don't care what anybody says,
God Fuck It!")
(as in "Sure, I'm just a wimpy Marketing Guy
who's trained for less than a year
but I'm still going to
come out of this Medieval Battle
alive,
God Fuck It!")
. . . plus, I actually seriously think
that writing something funny
like the words "Your Name"
on my headband
will help me keep my sense of humor
and therefore my cool
and therefore my life
Time out!
Regine's calling!
Hang on!
I'll be right back!
The Pow! of Words
I'm ridiculously adrenaline pumped right nowbecause I just got back from my best
'Ragging and Bragging' ever
I mounted up on Nastibelle
and Skip lead me across the dark valley
to within 200 yards of Facino Cane's campfires
and I stood in the stirrups
and hurled the high heat
yelled my very best stuff
"Your wetnurse had a beard, you sucked the milk
of sniveling hate. Your armor is like silk
in terms of strength, and looks like it's been wiped
along your ass -- it's so disgusting, striped
with brown and falling off. Your blood and tears
will rust that suit some more. Now drink your fears:
For we have flung the fury down to earth --
will fling you down, in mourning for your birth."
I was on fire
I guess I got kind of mean
The White Company's
Ragger-Bragger . . .
. . . got killedwhen he went over there this afternoon
It could have been me
But I don't care God Fuck it
I don't care!
You like me!
That's what matters!
little things . . .
. . . like this eveningin the White Company camp
One knight was carrying and cuddling
a cute little toddler
and slowly slowly
walked up and handed the child
to a Greensleves (army camp courtesan)
who was sitting on a rock
with another knight
(the other knight was discreetly looking away)
the first knight and the Greensleeves
exchanged a few quiet words
and then the first knight
walked slowly slowly away
My guess was it is the first knight's child
but the Greensleeves
is with another knight now
so they share time with the boy
A Woman's Voice in the Dark
. . . just now!It's the Witch's Company's Ragger-Bragger
challenging Regine
to a field duel tomorrow!
It's A Date!
So --- Yes!Let's rent that movie
Black Knight
when I get back!
In about one week!
And we'll go see the new Star Wars
Woo hoo!
Sounds like fun!
I'll tell you what they got wrong
You will hear from me again!
*giant kiss*
