[As a rule, I don't think many of the Greats sounded Old Fashioned at the time- at least, not the ones hoping for a popular crowd. It would've put a crimp in their accessibility. Like trying to write fiction on the internet in verse. Er....

An interesting note on music, each poem-section-bit is actually written to a different specific song, since I find the background rhythm useful. So it almost has a soundtrack, in my head.]

Thoughts:
I’ve never had a blog before. I’m not quite sure what to do with one.

One of the other jurors suggested I get it, as a way of relieving tension. Oh, silly me. You don’t know about the jurors. You don’t know about anything- how could you? I’ve only just started talking. Nice to meet you, by the way. Call me LW.

The jurors, as in, the Jury. My husband said I should dodge Jury Duty, but he’s the one who dodges things, not me. It’s my civic duty and it gets me the afternoon off work. Besides, sitting around and judging people... not exactly a tough gig.

Anyway, I’m not allowed to say much about the case, although I can get away with mentioning that it’s big and a bit high profile. It definitely made the evening news. And since I’m not allowed to talk about it to anyone- friends or family- I feel like a lot of stuff is getting bottled up. The case has some pretty disturbing undertones, some pretty creepy people involved. It’s killing me, not being able to even mention it in passing conversation.

One of the other jurors suggested I start this blog. The reason they gave was this: the pressure from keeping hushed about the case is going to build up inside me, and start squeezing at all my other valves. Suddenly, I’m going to feel the need to express myself, to vent. This other juror’s a three-time gal (...or guy), so it’s probably good advice. And where better to vent than over the anonymity of the interweb?

This gives me and the hubby a chance to get to grips with the new PC... although he doesn’t seem too interested. More into his work. Just like him, really. This is one of those things the guidance counselor says we should talk about, but we never do.

Oh! See that, that’s me venting. It’s working already.

I don’t really know what to say about myself- I’m sure you’re not too interested in hearing the day to day output of my life. Although if you really want details, feel free to imagine that I’m a gorgeous ubermodel who runs around all day in her underwear. I’ll try to keep this blog for when I have something specific to say, something interesting to let go of. My friend mentioned expressing through art, too. I’ve been thinking about trying that. Painting’s always been a very private hobby, I’ve always been shy- but I figure, what’s the harm here? If I draw an ugly tree, who’s going to know it’s me?

This’ll be my diary. I never had one when I was a kid. And let me know what you guys think of it- comments and criticism welcome! But I’m new here, so be kind!

I hope to have a long internet life ahead of me!

This Blog’s
All scattered
The entries
Battered
Pulled from place
Ripped without trace
Someone’s paw
Trod here before.

>>>>
...If these words are hers
I need them all
I need to know
Her thoughts for a fact

>>>>
Who would have done this?
Who would have care?
This ain’t mere groundskeeping
This is conspiracy fair
I only know one
Who might answer our questions
Oh Somebody, I hate
to ask her for directions.

>>>>>
It’s time we talked
To the Cat.
