The Life of the Nickness

It's been a very very long time since I've updated my livejouranl(or for that matter even visited my friends' journals or even the livejournal website in general) and I've come to the difficult decision to stop posting on here.

I won't be deleting it(there is far too much of my life invested within it's 'pages')and I understand some(if not all) of you have probably forgotten I even exist. For those of you who haven't, or for those whose craving of the Nickness has be reawakened, I invite you to come and join me on my new Blogspot.

I'll supply the scotch and chairs, you just bring yourself(and perhaps a couple cigars).

I'll be waiting.

I’ve run my ship aground
on the rocks of the soul
There’s no lie like independence
there’s no demon like control
I’ve fanned the burning embers
til my house was on fire
There’s no parody like power
There’s no fever like desire
I’ve drained the wine of darkness
to the dregs of deceit
There’s no drug as strong as pride
There’s no blindness like conceit
I’ve railed against the mountain
With a pickaxe and a file
There’s no minefield like presumption
There’s no death wish like denial

There’s no gunshot like conviction
There’s no conscience bulletproof
There’s no strength like utter weakness
There’s no insult like the truth

I’ve adjusted my prescription
til I couldn’t trust my vision
there’s no killer like convenience
there’s no sickness like omission
I’ve amended resolutions and resisted explanation
There’s no trap door like emotion
There’s no pit like reputation

There’s no cancer like ambition
There’s no cure like crucifixion

I received my birth certificate in the mail today. I needed to get one in order to prove that I am who I claim I am so that the MVA would give me a Maryland state driver’s license.

The sad part? I had to pay $48 dollars for it when I could have just driven to Richmond and gotten it for $12, but with the price of gas I actually saved money.

The sadder part? My mother has my original locked in a safety deposit box in Manassas, but I can’t get to it because she has the key and currently lives in England!

I’m going within the week to actually get my MD driver’s license. Then I’ll be an official MD resident.

Wow.

My brother got married, my sister moved into her own place, my parents moved back to England, and I have almost officially moved to Maryland.

Yay for growing up and begining to live my own life.

Oh, and yay for links.
