The Hobbit Hole XVII - A new road or a secret gate...
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 11/03/2004 6:16:42 PM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

A new road or a secret gate...

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

All right, let's drop this. I'm rather unsettled tonight on a completely different matter that would probably just do more to prove I'm stupid and biased, so I'll just leave it at that.

No, it didn't come. If it comes tomorrow I may be able to chat view. We'll have to see.

In other news, in the "jump to conclusions first, ask questions later" I found out the eBay items I was ranting about were damaged. The one I "won" is in good condition.

g'nite

Good for you! Too bad you weren't on for real...

I can't seem to relax. I can't even sit still. Sure, finals are over. Now I get to worry about them. And about money. And about next semester, and the new coworker I get, and all that crap. Grr... I'd go to bed but it'll be hours until I can sleep.

All done! Yay! And the test wasn't too bad, I think I did really well!

Good to hear! I was thinking about you!

Man...I should be in bed, but I'm wayyyy too wired. Gonna be hurting tomorrow. Good thing it's going to be slow...

I'm not wired but I can't sleep either. Got some bad news today about the new person coming in next semester... ok, so I don't want to judge him before I meet him, but most of our Muslim male foreign students haven't quite figured out that "women are people too". My friend got more or less stalked by one last semester, I had to fight off one who kept trying to interrupt me to get me to tutor him in our lectures... they're not as bad as the creepy married Mormom guy who kept hitting on me, though.

*sigh* I'm trying to do one stupid simple thing with a picture Stephen gave me, but of COURSE Paint isn't good enough and I don't have a better graphics program. $#@! computer...

I should just give up on this, considering how late it's getting. Wouldn't you think it'd be VERY simple to just add a thick border to a picture? You'd think so, wouldn't you? You'd be WRONG. Grrrrrrrrr.
