Well then, today was going really well until:
* Car got towed...
* Work is filled with the legions of the damned, and they all want me to do things
* Real estate agents suck

However! oddmonster: if you're Kiwi and you know it clap your hands! Happy times!



It's a cold and it's a broken alleluia.

When you see this, post your favorite poem in your journal.

Ok, so ask me tomorrow and the answer will be different, but for now, let's go with:

( Conscience by Henry David ThoreauCollapse )

This is a classic Australian poem, written around the turn of the century by Banjo (AB) Paterson, a mild-mannered clerk who went west (in Australia) around the time of one of the gold rushes. Instead of gold, he found the magic of the station (Australian/Kiwi for ranch) lifestyle, and wrote poetry about it.

This is perhaps his best known poem.

Some Kiwi/Aussie terms you'll require to understand the poem:

Station = Ranch
Homestead = Ranchhouse
Bushmen = Men who live in the bush, often ranchhands or cowboys
Stockmen = Cowboys
Ranges = Mountains
Stock-horse = cowhorse
Wombat = small Australian marsupial, sort of like a badger

( There was movement at the station, for the word had passed around that the colt from old Regret had got awayCollapse )

My name is Tinx, and I've been in love with Nick and Cody's love story since the first airing of the Pilot, in 1984.

I am always writing Riptide. I ship Nick/Cody, but I have written other pairings/the threesome either for a good reason, (LOL - writing slash - do you need a reason? :D), for a prompt or by request.

Occasionally I write other things, too. There are, after all, more beautiful boys in the world, and from time to time, I look up from Nick & Cody long enough to notice them :)

All stories are NC17 unless stated otherwise. You should not be reading this journal unless you are of legal age in your country.
