(no subject)

I blame [livejournal.com profile] apiphile for everything about this other than the fact that it's shit.

Scrawl a city across my skin;
carve its name on my arms with a knife.
Give me a city like a smoky dark sin;
a city, a living, a life.

Lay a city on my lips like a sacrilege;
I'll breathe it, I'll bleed it, I'll grin.
Dance to a city with my hips til its fingers dig in;
a bruise, a blessing, a sin.

Leave me homesick for a home that I've never yet had;
leave me singing, and sighing, and wrong.
But lead me to London, and I'll only go mad;
in the ways that I was all along.


I'll edit it tomorrow, if I decide it's worth it. Right now I just wish this fucking headache would go away.

It's all Del's fault anyway. She did a London Pome and I loved it. So, obviously, I copycatted. Ish.

You are a terrible influence and I love you.

Also, I have priority tickets for Chris Addison's 'My Funniest Year' show at the Hackney Empire tomorrow night and now I can't use them. Any good to you?

Fraid not as I have all the homework in the world to catch up on, but might be worth asking Rose, Holly, or Chris...

Tell me about it. I might have just about managed the money, but I've got an essay due in on Thursday and I'm not going to be cutting it pretty close to the wire as it is.

Would you mind posting to ask them, please? I've only got Rose on my flist, IIRC.

Twitter's usually the best way to ask - Holly is @nerdsoup and @quadiddly is Chris.
