Me Time

[perzephone]

Ahhh, for the first time in many months, Rob is at work & I am at home. Alone. All alone. Just me & the ghosts, & the feeling around me of a house seething with animosity towards me. It is nice, in a way, being by myself. "Give me my scallop shell of silence..." No hotel worries, no Rob worries. Just me & the unquiet atmosphere that this place is brimming over with. Sometimes I think about that cheesy '80's movie, the supposedly true-story "Entity"... I'm thinking about taking a bath, and it's so easy to drown someone by just grabbing them by their ankles & forcefully pulling them under... the water rushes into their nostrils & usually the shock of being grabbed makes them inhale, gasping inwards... Drowning used to seem a pleasant way to die but lately the pressure in my chest & lungs from the shoulder problems I've been having are making me rethink that whole idea.
But oh fucking well, I can seethe back. See if I clean you for awhile, motherfucker. Hah, take that, filthy dirty house!

I was kind of disappointed in the History Channel's 1st chapter of "Barbarians". I expected at least an unbiased account of the activities of the Vikings, (and I don't know enough about the Goths to know if they were portrayed fairly or not), but instead the History Channel made the Viking people out to be uncouth, dishonorable & greedy. In fact, they outright called them greedy. And sneaky, to boot. My Teutonic blood cries out for vengeance!
