You Are a Pineapple

You are bright, cheerful, and active. You have a lot of zest for life. You find it easy to feel energetic and refreshed throughout the day. You are likable and influential. You are an important part of the mix. You can go with the flow or be bold, depending on the situation.

What Tropical Fruit Are You?

In other news, I feel really strange today. Weirdly keyed up, kinda hollow...I feel old.

...holy shit, it's my birthday again. I can't believe I forgot...

[sws] holy shit, it's my birthday...again

[Funny, but I actually feel older...]

[charloft] (TUES) Cake and Death

NOTE: Too long for a drabble, but the muse got wordy. :P

She would’ve bought him a cake, decorated…she would’ve made it fun. That’s why he goes and gets a small one, smiling and aching as he finds a black tombstone candle for the top.

Alone, he lights the wick and watches it burn. He thinks of the Voisin, his own birthday six months before, and as the wax drips down he thinks of the death that’s been hanging on his soul for far too long.

In the light of the flame, he sees a shadow of her face. Shutting his eyes, he stares at the afterimage behind his eyelids until it fades and the candle burns down to nothing but a puddle of wax, dark as blood in moonlight against the thick white frosting.
