Deliberate. Verb form. In my way of existing synonymous with lollygagging, procrastinating, hemming, hawing, dragging, lagging, and dallying with its fraternal twin dilly. I look it up and reassure myself that I am in fact putting careful consideration into where to park the sleeping car in the northernmost state at high altitude at the crest of autumn. Blue is a nice color but it doesn't look good on my lips, and experts advise against driving a car when you're dead.
Hem. Haw. Dilly. Dally. A six hour drive to a sleepy town just south of the Canadian border to skate on an outdoor rink surrounded by mountains and crisp, cold air, then wake up at dawn to shiver in the mist and tap on the glassy edges of the first freeze of a larch-encrusted lakeshore.
Am I obligated to do this simply because I dropped $210 on a new battery that is "guaranteed" to start the car in sub-zero temperatures?
Do I even like adventures? Nature? The great outdoors? Ice skating? Getting the fuck outta here to clear my head?
Wouldn't it be nicer to hide at home under the electric blanket for the next four days and pout about how my therapeutic progress has thrown me into a spiraling realization of just how much more shit I need to work on to get to that place of internal freedom?
Freedom.
Freedom is fluid. Affected by tides, moods, and the ebb and flow of contract gigs.
Freedom.
Fuck it.
Let's go.

Driving while dead, what's the worst that could happen?
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose...
They say you should never trust a man in a blue trench coat, either.
Freedom's just another word for credit card debt.
Probably be safer to just never trust a man in blue, period.
I'll have to take your word on that, by the time I thought to try a get one nobody trusted me enough to give me a credit card.
You hear that, @nineclaws?
I can't hear anything over the

I'm fine with that.
Lost your religion and hanging with black demons now?
Are you attempting to skate your way across the border and talking about your trial runs for it here?
Hey now, careful what you say about Blue now, it's right beside me, right now. Blue says, I don't want to be on your lips crowlady.
p.s. I love, love, love your photos. All that yellow gold crow contrasting. My fav is the last one. The feet. The anticipation in that gesture. Lovely.
Are Blue's pronouns it/its, then? I should have asked sooner but I'm genX, feel like I"m a little slow on these things.
Thanks! Know why there's so much feel in that photo? I caught it right as he flew up to land on my head. Trust and love shines differently through a wild face than a domestic face (though not any less brilliantly).
This world is new to Blue, so it doesn't understand things like pronouns, genZ,nevermind languages, so I'm translating for Blue, based on how I see this world, so I decided Blue was an it, but if you ask Blue what it is, which you can't because it only talks to me, it would give you an answer that's out of this world and if you don't have a particular ability coded in you so you can connect out of this world, then, well, I don't know what else to say that won't give it all away.
All of that is in that photo. Thank you for sharing that. So beautiful and I agree; it's very different.
I don't know if I have that particular ability coded in me, but I do keep all my abilities color-coded for reference and the blue one is for craning my neck really far to look up at the sky.
How many shades of blue are available to you to colour code like morse code but is more your code?
BURP-POP
(excuse me, stuffed my face too full of real maple syrup coconut popcorn until it popped out of my mouth)
Don't you go flaunting your Canadian colors at me. And damn your real east coast maple syrup coconut popcorn! I wanna burp-pop 'til I drop, too, you know.
maple syrup coconut trees exist?
I don't wear red and white with a maple leaf like a corporate thief. I'd have to puke on it to change the colours, oh wait, no, never mind, it's all the colours of the rainbow so how about we just forget the whole color conundrum, drum it out the door?
Of course I had to mention maple syrup 'cause I know sugar maple's not a tree in the west you see so no, no real maple syrup for you unless you get it on the black market, but be careful of that, Maple Syrup Mafia doesn't look kindly on those with a small side business sugar shack.
No, at least I don't think so, but maybe I might be wrong but probably not.
So that you can burp-pop until you drop, here's how you can make it:
Pop popcorn in extra virgin coconut oil. Dump into bowl. Using same pot, pour in maple syrup and extra virgin coconut oil, more syrup than oil, eyeball it to your tastes, heat that and mix it together, throw some sea salt in with it (or add after), then pour that yummyness all over your popcorn. Then burp-pop until you drop from decandent deliciousness richness.
@freedom won't know you pinged'em all those times without an @.
andOh shit, you're right. Someone else caught me on that in my previous post, too. I guess I owe a shoutout to @freedom @brilliant, now. Rocket's red glare and all that.
Go Team America.
