I lay this to rest.

Alas it is too true, more so now than ever.

But it's time for a change,

Little tree, oh little green tree,
Please don't let your leaves rustle over me

A Vodka's on me for whoever knows where this is from.

Which one Evisse? The old sig or the new sig? But...I think the old sig is from the peg legged dude from the comic strip BC?

As Halloween is over, I have a new avatar and a new sig.

Old avatar: Clicky

Old Sig:

And I, Jack, the Pumpkin King
Would give it all up if only he could.

I have had this signature for quite some time, as it commemorates a great summer time, but as that summer is now only a memory, so too must be the quote.

Farewell to thee:

And welcome to the 'Downs must go to:

Out on the roof to inquire of the sky, the existance of ghosts in my life... who's to blame, you or I? No one would answer me, they just stared with the weight of the world I pretend not to feel.

Free and Invisible (yet highly coveted) Feanorian Bonus Points to whoever can tell me the origin of my newest signature.

They're song lyrics, aren't they? Song name...google.com is cheating, must resist the urge... "Ghosts"? Not a clue of the artist. Maybe half a FBP? (Feanorian Bonus Point, copyright 2004)

Farewell to my last siggy - it lasted just over a month, although seems longer for some reason.

Quote:

Today we'll go witch-hunting, and tomorrow, we'll hide, and it'd be the witches' turn to find us...

It made me shiver when I first read it, although maybe that was just in context. It's from Terry Pratchett's 'Good Omens' - class book, very class. And if anyone can guess the origin of my new one, they get a free pint in the Green Dragon (ooh, fierce competition, Fea, fierce competition!

) Hey, and no Google allowed!

Make it a glass of good, dark stout, if you will, lass . . .

One of my faves from a later part of 'The Song of Solomon' -

Set me as a seal upon your heart,
as a seal upon your arm;
for love is strong as death,
passion fierce as the grave.
Its flashes are flashes of fire,
a raging flame.
