The Hobbit Hole XXIII - Let them go! Let them go!

Posted on 07/12/2005 8:11:36 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Let them go! Let them go!

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!

Well, good! If it's supposed to be the final draft, I think there's a good chance it is.

These little groups of undergraduates keep getting brought back here - I guess they're getting the department tour - and I'm starting to feel like an exhibit.

We've been having *lots* of fun with the South Park Character generator and have been making cartoons of ourselves. Most of the offices on my floor have a 'roster' taped to the doors of who sits inside. I have a meter of my various moods (a SP character for each) with a marker showing where I am that day. Muahaha

Thankfully, I have FreeRepublic as an outlet for all this pent up pool board hostility.

I'm just sayin'...

Oh dear...now I really *am* fretting!

Just checked my phone and I had *5* missed calls - the ringer was set to low for no apparent and I never heard the phone! They were all from unknown or restricted numbers, yesterday evening and first thing this morning. That's how any number that doesn't allow caller ID or number ID show up...often companies show up like that. It could have been job related, and I missed them and can't do anything about it. Grrrr!

They didn't leave any messages. I hope it wasn't important, or that they call back if it was. If I lost an opportunity over something so stupid...I'm just gonna...I don't know what!

If it was important, they would have left a message.

I hope so! I just picture a place deciding on the top four candidates or whatever, and calling them and crossing me off as unreachable. Eek!

Happy Friday, everyone!

I have been only lurking lately, but I'm still hanging around! The internet Nazi's got to me with the 6 month report on my supposed internet usage--one week listed 800+ minutes. Oops. We're only supposed to have 20 minutes a day, as I'm sure you remember from the last time they checked up on me, so I haven't been able to post much. But I still read to keep track of everyone (does that mean I'm eavesdropping? :o )

Hope you'all are doing well. I figure I can get away with a post or two without getting too many hits on my internet usage report...I hope...

Corin, I know exactly what you mean!!! I feel like the last couple of weeks have been one long rant from me, but I sure appreciated it...at one point i didn't know who my friends were this town! Now that we're finding each other and things are resolving, I feel much better but it was rough there for a while.

Typing up all that stuff helped me clarify what I was thinking and the input helped me realize that my thinking was accurate.
