Moving Forward, Never Back

ceitfiannaI've been following the news in Egypt and the worrying news of the new rape bill and find myself heartened and depressed all at once. The world is constantly changing and it clearly scares a lot of people, but change isn't easy but needs to happen. Stagnation never ends well. I just hope politicians can learn that lesson without too much more pain for the rest of us. For myself, I'm going to keep doing my part of learning and listening and changing what I can and looking for ways to do more.
In that frame of mind, I've been trying to move forward with my work. I went to class today and found out I wasn't the only one who had trouble with the homework. I think I'll just work on doing better on the next one and bundle down for the cold. The snow isn't too bad here, its powdery and there's a lot of it but Ann Arbor is good about taking care of the sidewalks and streets. That does mean there are some exciting snowdrifts to walk through but its all doable.
I don't have to work tonight because of making a trade so I'm happy to be home and warming myself up. Its cold enough that I don't realize just how cold it is until I'm in the warm.
I keep seeing that WiP meme go up and I don't have any to share. Though I do have some ideas of long things I want to write but I need poking on them. I have this long idea for how Sameth became Wallmaker that runs from when he's about twelve until after the end of canon.
Other than that, I tend to write short things and might set up another prompt meme since I've been enjoying the Jakob Dylan album Seeing Things and I've been wanting to write.
Pick a lyric and tell me a character or two characters and I'll write you something.
1-Maybe too humble to wanna speak.
2-The evening of our great escape is starting to unfold.
3-Dressed in thunder a cloud came around.
4-Those are my eyes, keep 'em raised.
5-First you learn and then you'll teach.
6-Closer than ever and covered in birds.
7-Weather beaten through all four seasons.
8-Tell me young man, whose dog are you?

Date: 2011-02-08 02:24 am (UTC)This time he got caught as Spike and Lady Margolotta were not talking about something and he wishes for Saffron's smirk or Urquhart's surety. Sadly he hadn't seen a door since he fell from the gallows and he missed it so much. Spike was a pleasant diversion and kept him on his toes but there were days he wanted more.
Vimes came out of nowhere says with one of his growly smirks, "You a Lipwigzer, Postmaster?"
It takes most of his nerve to not jump and says with a smile that feels rather weak, "Why would anyone say that?" "Because I'm his terrier."
"I don't think I've got the teeth to be a Lipwigzer."
"Maybe not, but they're known for not letting go."
"As are terriers. If you'll excuse me, I think I see someone I need to talk to."
Vimes smiles as he leaves and Moist can feel it, he hates when Vimes smiles, it usually means he knows something.

4-Those are my eyes, keep 'em raised.

They were both pulled to the Headmaster's office with everyone watching, Sam was sure he saw Sayre nod at him. He wasn't sure why, he hadn't been at Somersby for long and this didn't seem like a good start.
Inside the Headmaster lectured and finally asked what they had to say for themselves.
Sam remembered how his parents looked when dealing with visitors from Ancelstierre and stood up as straight as he could, meeting the Headmaster's eyes, "He insulted my home, sir. I couldn't let it stand."
The Headmaster frowned to see this half grown fourteen year old boy acting like something more, "Go to your rooms and you'll know your punishment later."
Harris looked over at Sam as they both left, carefully putting space between them and Sam wondered if maybe he could be good at being a prince.

6-Closer than ever and covered in birds.
Date: 2011-02-08 02:38 am (UTC)"You do. Where have you got me?"
She laughed and kissed him while some of the birds flew around and reality seemed to bend around them, "Mm, here."
"Here, I like that," Then they didn't talk, because they were here and now and there wasn't a need.
