truepennyOh, life is a glorious cycle of song,
A medley of extemporanea;
And love is a thing that can never go wrong,
And I am Marie of Roumania.

Yes, it's true, one of the things I use LiveJournal for is a sort of hypertexted, searchable commonplace book. I am tired of getting this little ditty half-stuck in my head, so that I can neither remember it nor stop trying to.
In other news, I want to figure out how to do my hair like Djuna Barnes. Which may be the shallowest reaction to a literary figure I have ever had.
