MY Precious

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Like a thief in the night (stealing her own things) or maybe a ragtag Santa Claus, my recently-deported ex-housemate stopped by about three o'clock this morning and left two gifts with my other housemate, A. One for A., and one for me. As I was leaving for work, A. gave me a ring box with my initials on it; I opened it to find a mood ring* that proved too small for all my fingers save the pinky--for which it is, of course, too big. As I was loathe to let such a lovely present go unworn, I slipped the Hand of God pendant off the chain around my neck (it had become too tarnished from sucking all the evil out of my soul to wear anyway), and hung the ring on it instead. The ring has stayed a solid, dark, and very fetching shade of navy ever since.**

At first I noticed nothing amiss--perhaps my self-denunciations had become a little more fervent, and slightly louder, than usual, but not so much as to make me question it. As the day wore on, I began muttering 'fat hobbitses' under my breath while stroking the ring between my thumb and forefinger, and I once threatened to gouge my boss's eyes out when she complimented its beauty. I feel as if this is the way things should be, have always been, will always be, but I can't help wondering...

Should I be worried?

**Actually it turned violet while I wrote this. Should that be Heartland's official color?? Maybe this place just turns me on.

You best not be calling me a 'moran,' Red, cos I might not know what it is, but I don't like the sound of it.



P.s. The Precious says, "Step off!"

In the land of the free AND the home of the Brave.

Naw, I think he's trying to call me a 'moran,' and using antiquated song lyrics to back it up, but you sorted that BP.

Fact is, this post has nothing to do with my being American. The Precious has no nationality!!!

I can fake being a middle-aged, white, southern, male, born-again christian, big business CEO with situational ethics and an overweening belief in divine right rule. I can fake that easy.

Although I admit it's rather boring that a playful post on hobbitses becomes yet another indictment of American political affairs, simply, I suppose, because the author happens to be American. Props to mf for at least making a relevant bridge. *sigh*
