Madrigal

Excellent, Sinbad! I'm a big fan of your poetry :D. More, please? This is my favorite of yours. When shall we get to see more? I hope soon. Maddy (:

Wohooo, Happy 4th Anniversary! Yaaay! :D Maddy (:

This was first posted in The Hub's Flash Fiction Anthology, link is pinned in this very forum. For those of you unfamiliar with my work, I feel like I must warn you that it is not the happiest. That, however, doesn't mean I'm not happy right now. I just haven't experienced too much of it in my life, and so I write about what I know the best. Don't we all? I am happy. Not so much as the neighbor, nor my father, but happy in my own wicked way. Green I am, with envy, or fury, or sometimes lust. I envy the neighbor’s ecstatic fa?ade, and my father’s fits of inebriating laughter. At times my own cohesion breaks, and thus this happiness turns rotten. By this point I find myself gasping under the satin sheets, in the four walls that make up my bedroom. I also cry. Childhood memories haunt the light within my head, thrust it to the darkest corner and make me cloudy. And the storm ensues, as in my memories I see a person’s tears being the cause of the villainous, callous tormentor’s happiness. There are also memories of love once gained, and lost too many times. I grasp it in my mind, but that is not enough. It slips my fingertips, like leaves in autumn’s eve. So beautiful it is, but burns with wintry fury. The covers once come off, I promptly sit. I drain the stream with paper, and force resentment away; its bitter chill I’ve felt so many times. It’s mere routine. Don’t fail me, resolution. I… am happy. Maddy (:

LOL I can handle 50 pushups fine... but not 300! XD.My exercise routine has consisted of running (1 hr a day usually at midnight), and pilates (ab-work for about 20 mins). Haha, pilates. I still can't believe I do pilates. BTW, Marie Winsor looks like a man. *puke*Maddy (:

Awww, don't laugh at me! *eats emu*And the lump is actually gone today. It was just swollen. :DI can actually bend my arm at the elbow without it hurting for five minutes now. Only slight discomfort today. :DMaddy (:

:D Thank you. I just called my friend. I have a small lump on the back of my left arm (and i'm pretty sure it's not muscle hahaha). Definitely not a good thing :/.Maddy (:Edit: And I've found my answer. Seems like I DID damage muscle tissue. Meh. Now... to rest *ouch ouch ouch*

Oww Oww Owwwwww! My arms hurt a lot. Well, not the entire arm, just the back of it, right next to my elbow. One of my good friends asked me to go to the gym with him yesterday, and I agreed. On the way there I kind of also agreed to do weight training thrice a week with him. I hurt so frickin' bad. I told him I had weak arms, since I've never really done any weight training... so he told me to get on the floor as he did so. He showed me how to do pushups and exercises with stretch bands; he said they would be a little easier than lifting weights... Well, I agreed to it, but little did I know that he wanted to do pushups and arm exercises for 50 mins! Ugh. By the time we reached 40 mins, I could barely bend my arms. That's when we started stretching to go home. And now I'm here, lying on my bed and pretty much unable to do anything at all. I grabbed a banana (Potassium source) and it helped with the cramping. It's gone... but now I have a lot of pain. No doubt it's a good pain, as I doubt I pushed myself to the point of pulling a muscle or something. But it just hurts so bad. It better improve by tomorrow, or I'm going to have to wuss out of going with him. In other news, I've been studying for my chemistry exam all day. Going to do so again tonight (10 pm) at the school's library with a ton of friends. Hopefully I'll do good enough on this test to be able to not do so well on the final. Bleh. Finals are getting very very close. They're only about three weeks away, so I doubt I'll be around too much. Wish me tons of luck, peeps. Oh, and he wants to do pullups tomorrow :(. *TEAR* Maddy (:

Great poem! Hmm... which makes me wonder... what do you call a 'poet's block'?A 'poet's block'? Maddy (:

What a generous offering! Ah, my mind is orgasming :D. Maddy (:

And I agree with everyone else, this was really great! The topic is not my favorite lol, but as Bruin said it has many meanings and that's what sold me. I demand you get rid of the disclaimer :P. Maddy (:

If for some reason you want to hear her say those stupidities (trust me, she sounds stupid as well!) is a link!

Excellent! I demand more shorts from you, both the cloth and word kinds :P. And I thought of two things when I read the title: bag and Gabe. :P Maddy (:

Thank you! But please don't worry, I am quite alright :D. That's exactly how I deal with problems. I write about them, or talk about them, and they somehow go away 8D. Most of them, at least :P. And thanks for the praise! :flutters away: Maddy (:

Or he could just call his friend....LOL. Maddy (:

Haha. Before I try to seriously solve this puzzle... does he call his friend for the time? hahahah (I know this is wrong, but everyone seems to be giving incorrect answers so here is mine 8D) Maddy (:

Hilarious! XDI think that's one of the things that scares me the most... As I've said before, I've never been a sexual person. To me, it REALLY IS something sacred (not in the 'God is watching you in the act' way). I don't want to be fooled into having sex with someone who doesn't love me.Maddy (:

I agree...LOL.===DMaddy (:

LOL. I'm not impotent! :P

Pfft, that's easy then. Hazardous. Maddy (:

Sincerely, I apologize. Do think of me as psychiatric meat: What feeds the highly gifted fleet Of lightly-robed, syringe-wearing, Misanthrope, strongly-swearing, Is something I may not explain under this light. But what is light? Is it insanity, generously shed with amity? Is it malevolence, bathed in your benevolence? Is it darkness, showered in your sun? Or is it just some sort of shameful fun? I do believe that light is godly. Unfortunate am I, for I believe in mysticism. But no, excuse my verbiage, I do mean mystery. And this carries in its hidden meaning misery. But what is an apology but shameless speech? Alas, it?s nothing but hypocrisy in latent peak. For as I tie this knot around, around, I see that nothing matters now. This perfect square: a barrier from the rain. Oh, ceiling! I hope to not mistreat your feeling, For it is shelter that you gave this frame. You?ll misinterpret words from actions not, For it is obvious that this triple knot Will hold the weight that medicine cannot. Do bring me joy, rope from the heavens, For I am much too scared to grab the blade And cause a flood to surge. And yes, I do believe I feel it. It is most certainly pure regret, Foreseeing you, poor innocent maid With sponge in hand, dangling French braid, Mopping the floors of these white corridors, And seeing my lifeless body dangle from the skies. Oh maid, I most sincerely apolo-- Maddy (: Edit: not a cry for help, sorry if I alarmed anyone! This was written over 5 months ago for The Hub's 'Sorry' Anthology, but I withdrew it at the last minute!

I really had no idea how to solve this. I figured out some of the things, but now even looking at the answers I can't quite figure out how they were found! *ponders* Maddy (:

Your question is: can you name all four? You did not specify if you wanted the words that end in 'dous', so I'm assuming that the 4 words you are looking for are these: Excluding esoteric technical terms. I have heard a similar riddle: There are only three words in The English Language that end in '-gry'. One is angry and the other one is hungry. Can you name the third word? It's quite easy :D. Maddy (::

You guys didn't even give me a chance to solve! I demand more! :P *enables email notification* Maddy (:

Thank you, everyone! I have never been a sexual person, but recently I've found that I'm nearly asexual. Perhaps this is something I should consult a doctor for. Thanks for the advice :D. I hope I do enjoy it with that special someone. to everyoneMaddy (:

My answer wasn't based on assuming that it was a freight train lol. I love riddles. What I have noticed is that most of them force you to use only the information within them, and so if this were a legitimate riddle I can assure you my answer would be correct... LOL. I refuse to lose! :P Maddy (:
