To All That Could Have Been

You died a long time ago. I denied it at that moment, when I first saw your sleeping form. I have continued to ignore it ever since.

Today, the denial has broken down. By itself. Weeds grew slowly against the wall, expanding in the many crevices of slipshod, hurried construction. The endless rains battered the stone and the patchy masonry was washed away.

Now, worse than your dying, what hurts is how long ago it had happened. So much time has passed, since you were put to sleep.

The denial was useless, of course. You will never wake again.

Tch, to my fellow bloggers of an age past. Tch.

The Kyra, however, prevails. Still reigns with the same power and glory despite many attempts by the dark side to put her pen to sleep.

Hai na?

Confused n Baffled said...

Ha.

I mean, hai.

:P Well I'm alive, and so are my questions.
Which one was it, then? (And what's more soothing than a combination of pink and white?)

Confused n Baffled said...

i meant age. *stick tongue out smiley*

and please, woman of actual age mid-50s, pink and white are not soothing in the least. men are pink-phobic because pink is purely too giggly.

...I write like a 50 year old. A mid-50 year old.

We are not amused.

Confused n Baffled said...

well, what can we say? if we are not amused, we should be asking us how we feel about it, having to read the fancies and adventures of us. maybe we should adopt a less "let me tell you a story little ones" approach and seek more oneness with the folks?

maybe we could think about that? then we might take back our words about us, we might.

Princess Stefania said...

let me tell you a story little ones

Good grief. I do that? Well then, what does one have to do in order to achieve oneness?
And 50? I would be old enough to have grand children!

Confused n Baffled said...

if we were actually 50 years old, that blog tone would work perfectly with our grandchildren, we feel.

to achieve oneness, we must drop the collective pronoun thing. *done*

now, you must reorganize things. i suggest you begin with a complete makeover for the blog. make it more amenable to human consumption. less straining on the eyes? exhibit a. *shows her his blog*

Princess Stefania said...

:P Point. It goes against the royal grain, but one does try to please one's fellow bloggers. Very well, then. I am not amused.

But a makeover? Pixie Dust's template was a gift- and the best gift I've ever been given.

Doesn't a blog that involves Tinkerbell, glitter and the colour pink speak of youth, though? I mean, I thought it would have.... It's girlish. Not old maidenly. Girlish. Which isn't necessarily the best thing to be- unless the alternative adjective is old-maidenly.

Confused n Baffled said...

i would not say girlish. it conjures up some very horrific images in my mind. barbie dolls, pink sweaters, teddy bears with I Love U written across their chests and golden glitter.

so much so that you've got me thinking on another idea. thanks!

Princess Stefania said...

Tsk. There's no pleasing some people.

Confused n Baffled said...

that much is true.

Princess Stefania said...

The xkcd strips are an excellent idea, though. Nothing to having a pixie dust cursor, but the next best thing.
Did that sound patronising enough? :P

Confused n Baffled said...

quite. you are skilled.

sometimes at night, i stay up, fighting and bemoaning myself for not having thought of a pixie dust cursor before you. i wake up in the morning, my pillow damp with tears and my skin scratched in the frustration of failure.

Princess Stefania said...

:P

Sigh. It pains me to know that the hapless wanderer who stumbles across this fascinating exchange will never know just how well I trounced you on chat.
