❝ the lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, o lord, endures forever. do not forsake the work of your hands. ❞

psalms

do you actually believe that, though? do you believe in destiny or do you believe that it is our own? discuss.

also, since we're having a deep conversation. google would have made my life a whole lot easier if it had existed in the 1800s. then again there would not be young men saying that they love vintage victorian erotica more than the mainstream kind (here's a hint: it's still erotica).

if you're a really old guy wearing a hood over your head, you owe me a saturday night for the one you ruined. cash only.

I Dont Think Anything Ive Read Would Necessarily Qualify As Vintage
Is It Interesting At All

What are your feelings about prose?

[glowsferatu]

That Im A Better Reader Than I Would Be A Writer
I Dont Know It Depends On The Prose
Why Do You Ask

[ioudas]

Some of it is harder to read than others.

If The Issue Is A Complication Of Language Then I Can Assure You That Should Prove Little Obstacle To Me

[ioudas]

It's your tolerance for it that's the question.

[glowsferatu]

That Isnt Anything To Worry About
I Can Gauge My Tolerance On My Own If Given Opportunity

You're over 18, right? I don't want to be known as a peddler.

You Wouldnt Technically Be Giving Me Anything But Recommendations
I Can Always Get Them Elsewhere If Not From You

For A Moment I Was Afraid You Might Have Been Referring To Steinbecks Novel
We Had To Read That In Class Already And It Wasnt Particularly Erotic

text;

[ioudas]

Steinbeck? What's the synopsis?

text;

[glowsferatu]

A Man Finds A Pearl Of Gargantuan Size On The Oceans Floor
He Intends To Use The Profits It Would Bring Him To Provide Care For His Ailing Child
But His Neighbors Covetousness Make The Prospect Insurmountable To Achieve And Everything Goes Poorly For Him In The Attempt
After Killing Many Who Would Withhold Him And The Eventual Death Of His Son He Throws It Back Into The Sea

Isn't that how life is?

text;

[glowsferatu]

Life
Death
Everything In Between And After

text;

[ioudas]

There's nothing in between.

[glowsferatu]

Are You So Sure
And How Many Times Have You Died Then

text;

[ioudas]

Enough, I think.

text;

[glowsferatu]

Be Careful With That Sort Of Thought
Just When You Suspect Youve Had Enough Is When The Counter Has A Tendency To Raise Once More

text;

[ioudas]

Like I said, there's no in between.

text;

[glowsferatu]

In Between Is When Life Doesnt Feel Like Life
When Death Doesnt Work Like Death
And Of Course The Interim Period Where Death Waits For Whats After
I Would Argue That It Only Seems As Though No In Between Exists Because Everything Is Contained Within That In Between
A Normal Perspective Will Never Properly Reveal It

I always assumed that there would be a man on the other end, telling me that I should be in Hell.

But, it was really just a big disappointment when I woke up.

text;

[glowsferatu]

Yeah I To A Degree Assumed The Same
But With More I Dont Know
Oblivion
Only There Was Someone On The Other End And A Friend Of Mine Actually
She Didnt Tell Me I Should Be Anywhere But Back Where I Came From
And Soon Enough Thats Precisely Where I Found Myself
One Life Down And An Unlife Ahead

Ive Never Entirely Understood Your Concept Of Hell Actually

text;

[ioudas]

We have more than one concept of Hell, actually. It just depends who you want to listen to.

Well At The Moment Im Obviously Asking You
