Meh. Whatever. I'm too tired to think.


It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love-
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.

The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me-
Yes!- that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we-
Of many far wiser than we-
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.

For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride,
In the sepulchre there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.

I'm only on for a sec.......but I had to memorize this poem....it is evil!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gorbin]

stop looking at the past and think about the present

[RaditzSoldier]

We've almost gained to another hundred.

[Phoenix]

Yeah. Time zones. Woah.

[bacon]

Well, since I've been asleep for six hours, I think I should take the honors of having first watch.

[RaditzSoldier]

Actually, it's second watch. I'm done in another six minutes.

[Gorbin]

that is radtiz job

i am going to murder ugla in her sleep

[bacon]

Right.

DDL, that poem's bootful and I just wrote a clunky analysis of what I thought was important about but it could only be a full written two pages so it's short and I hate it blah.

Being called a mutt bothering you overly much?

[Phoenix]

Soon I will go to sleep. But I'll be around pretty much all of tomorrow, as far as I know. So save the action.

When did you decide to come back, Phoenix?

shut it noodles for brains

[Phoenix]

What do you mean, Raditz? I've been here the whole time.

[RaditzSoldier]

I mean like you left during like book 3 and came back in LITA.

[bacon]

I think it was because of the dreaded Invision Free Scandal.

[RaditzSoldier]

What is the page in LITA when Phoenix returns?

[Phoenix]

Oh. Well you see, I left when everyone else left because of the InvisionFree thing. It never picked up again after that. I occasionally came back here only to find no one logged on, or the site in Maintenance Mode or other things, so I assumed it was still dead. I eventually came back at the right time, and now I am. In my exile I had been doing a lot of thinking.

But I don't know why you had to quote my post to ask that.

[bacon]

It would've been like page 200 or whatever, but now it's page 19:

[RaditzSoldier]

What kind of thinking?

[Phoenix]

A lot of it. About what kind of person I am, and stuff like that. Self-exploration, I guess.

[RaditzSoldier]

Deep thinking, eh? Prehaps I should try that for once.

[Gorbin]

you went into denial

[bacon]

Maybe I should go into exile and do some self-exploration.

[Phoenix]

Bah.

[bacon]

But I'll have time to do it when I (hopefully) get to go work on a farm this summer... hopefully...

Who likes fishing?

[Gorbin]

why hopefully?
