    I was bored, so wrote a poem/song lyrics. constructive criticisms are appreciated.

    What if all these emotions, ain't emotional enough,
    Sensitive's never really worked for me, and I can't pull off tough,
    There's precious little wrong, but there's precious little right,
    Oh I wish these thoughts would leave me be, when I'm alone at night.

    I know I ain't about to find the answers to my petty woes,
    at the bottom of a glass of vodka in some cheap bar, so I'll go,
    and I know, there's nothing waiting for me in what passes for home,
    but the steady beat of a dismal downpour against dreary grey stone,

    And I wanna believe, that it'll all be okay,
    I wanna put my faith in fate and throw all caution away,
    But I guess at the root of it all, I'm just not that brave
    I'm just not that willing to let people see who I really am.

    I wish that when I told you I loved you, that I meant what I said,
    instead, of a calculated offering, to manipulate your head,
    I wish that when I held you in my arms and watched you close your eyes,
    I could just enjoy that moment, but I just worry about tomorrow's lies.

    So I'll wander these darkened hollows and haunts that are probably bad for my health
    It's all a stall anyway, and I'm most comfortable by myself,
    Yeh, it's lonely, but that's my life, or at least my point of view,
    Maybe one day, I'll let someone inside, but it's never gonna be you.

    I give you a few kind and unfelt words, they make you smile for a while,
    I truly do wish I meant them, but meaning's not my $tyle,
    I feel bad for deceiving you, but I guess I don't have the guts to hurt you,
    and it shuts you up for a bit.

    I just found a whole bunch of my old songs. Terrible recordings though! So I'm going to transcribe the lyrics, try to relearn the guitar/bass/harmonica/electric guitar/drums/vocal/piano parts and re-record them.
    Could take many months!

    Wrote this whilst sitting at work being bored

    Desolation in immaculate public places,
    Lost souls encompassed in a sea of bland emotionless faces,
    'Nothing's wrong' is right, but nothing's right,
    and right now all I see is life
    being lived the way it always has been
    and always will be.

    The only place I want to be is anywhere but here.

    I'm a loner alone with neurosis and hate
    Anger is a permanent character trait
    My letter bombs are primed and they're ready to send
    Would you like to add me as a friend?

    I'm a wound-up whiner with a fetish for guns
    I'm almost fifty and I live with my mom
    I hope my nude picture doesn't offend
    Would you like to add me as a friend?

    Chorus:
    Add me, add me,
    Me mother says she wish she never had me
    Add me, add me,
    Would you like to add me as a friend?
    Would you like to add me as a friend?

    I'm a recovering alcoholic; I rarely leave my room,
    Peeping through the curtains in my dark costume,
    The voices in my head gonna get me in the end
    Would you like to add me as a friend?

    I really like to mail you the picture that I drew,
    It's Kylie's body, but the head is you
    I've asked you fifty times before I'm asking you again
    Would you like to add me as a friend?

    Chorus

    Here's a picture of me in my Nazi uniform
    Doing a trick with an egg that I like to perform
    At a monster truck rally that my mom and me attend
    Would you like to add me as a friend?

    I've added Britney, and Paris, and you and Tom,
    I'm gonna find your address so I can visit you at home,
    I don't like people, but I like to pretend
    Would you like to add me as a friend?

    Scorch my skin and slice my flesh,
    and no,
    before you ask,
    I'm not depressed,
    I'm just... going through a rough patch,
    Bleeding let's out so much more than tears,
    I'm just going through a rough patch,
    ...been going through it for years.

    "It's just a little cut", He said,
    "it's not as if I have a problem".
    "There's no harm in it at all", He said,
    "when I have issues, this resolves them".

    "At least I'm not on drugs", He said,
    "or other such unhealthy vices".
    "I'm not hurting anyone", He said,
    "so leave me to my own devices".

    "It's awful nice, you know", He said,
    "a spiritual kind of thing".
    "A little cut, that's all", He said,
    "then relish in that searing sting"

    "I need that sweet release", He said,
    "but it's not like I'm addicted".
    "I could choose to stop", He said,
    "but then I'd feel restricted".

    "I'm trapped inside this skin", He said,
    "it's itchy and too tight for me".
    "I need to bleed again", He said,
    "it's just a little cut, you see".

    "I think I cut too deep", He said,
    as his blood gushed to the floor.
    "It was just a little cut", He said,
    and then he said no more.

    Then came the flood

    of silence, so strong, roaring in my ears,

    drowning out the tears of my soul,

    Hang my head low, so that they'll never know,

    just how proud I am, just how strong I am,

    A broken man, yet undefeated,

    my spirit still is undepleted, and no,

    I haven't forgotten about the flood,

    of silence, where nothing else can be heard,

    that defeaning silence, just daring you to break it with a single word,

    Running through the rain, because it takes away the pain,

    don't let yourself think, just keep running, just one more step, just one more step,

    Do you think you could ever climb the walls that I have built,

    tall and strong, to keep me alone,

    do you think you could?

    an implosion in my mind, sucked it all inside,

    and the fire reduced to embers, and yes i still remember,

    about the flood,

    of silence, that blissful gap between two moments,

    'you can have everything you've ever wanted',

    but what if you've been haunted by the emptiness,

    that comes with never knowing if you've ever wanted anything at all.

    Silence floods down my face, and no there's nothing wrong,

    but why must something be wrong, to feel like nothing has or will ever be right?

    embrace that which lies between the tick and tock,

    the time after the singer stops before the crowd recover to applaud.

    As the last note dies away, I always hope and pray that time will skip,

    and we'll be stuck in the moment in between, for all eternity,

    turn the speakers up but don't put on a record, just wait, and listen to the silence,

    drown out the world, in any way that works, and pause,

    forever.

    but before every rebirth there must be a death. my car died. it made me really really sad. I loved that car and so very many memories that i have with it.

    And I have a really annoying trapped nerve in the back of my neck, it's been there almost two days now and it's intolerable!!

    Have some gorgeous lyrics. and go listen to the song on youtube, it's amazing

    Alanis Morissette - Not As We

    Reborn and shivering
    Spat out on new terrain
    Unsure, Unkind, Insane
    This faint and shaky hour

    Day one, day one
    Start over again
    Step one, step one
    I'm barely making sense
    For now I'm faking it
    'Til I'm psuedo-making it
    From scratch, begin again
    But this time I as "I"
    And not as "we"

    Gun-shy and shivering
    Tear it without a hand
    Feign brave but still intent
    Little and hardly here

    Day one, day one
    Start over again
    Step one, step one
    I'm barely making sense
    For now I'm faking it
    'Til I'm psuedo-making it
    From scratch, begin again
    But this time I as "I"
    And not as "we"

    Eyes wet,
    Toward wide open freight
    If God is taking bias,
    I pray he wants to lose

    Day one, day one
    Start over again
    Step one, step one
    I'm barely making sense
    For now I'm faking it
    'Til I'm psuedo-making it
    From scratch, begin again
    But this time I as "I"
    And not as "we"

    I love that episode. It's not as fantastically 'best-episode-in-the-world-ey' as brendan fraser's other one, but it's still great.

    But anywhoo, yes, I've been thinking about death a lot lately. Don't get me wrong, I always think a lot about death, it's just been more than usual recently.

    It's weird how people attach so much importance to an afterlife. What is so scary about the thought of death being the end? I find it reassuring, after all, if it's not then conciousness stretcheson to infinity, and thatscares me.

    Anyway Iam going to stop asI am trying to write thiswhilst talking on the phone and femenine though I am, my multitasking skills are failing me....

    Starry
    starry night
    paint your palette blue and grey

    look out on a summer's day
    with eyes that know the
    darkness in my soul.
    Shadows on the hills
    sketch the trees and the daffodils

    catch the breeze and the winter chills

    in colors on the snowy linen land.
    And now I understand what you tried to say to me

    how you suffered for your sanity
    how you tried to set them free.
    They would not listen
    they did not know how

    perhaps they'll listen now.

    Starry
    starry night
    flaming flo'rs that brightly blaze

    swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in
    Vincent's eyes of China blue.
    Colors changing hue
    morning fields of amber grain

    weathered faces lined in pain
    are soothed beneath the artist's
    loving hand.
    And now I understand what you tried to say to me

    how you suffered for your sanity
    how you tried to set them free.
    perhaps they'll listen now.

    For they could not love you
    but still your love was true

    and when no hope was left in sight on that starry
    starry night.
    You took your life
    as lovers often do;
    But I could have told you
    Vincent
    this world was never
    meant for one
    as beautiful as you.

    Starry
    starry night
    portraits hung in empty halls

    frameless heads on nameless walls
    with eyes
    that watch the world and can't forget.
    Like the stranger that you've met

    the ragged men in ragged clothes

    the silver thorn of bloddy rose
    lie crushed and broken
    on the virgin snow.
    And now I think I know what you tried to say to me

    how you suffered for your sanity

    how you tried to set them free.
    They would not listen
    they're not
    list'ning still
    perhaps they never will.


    This song is written about Vincent van Gogh. His life, his soul, everything was expressed through his art. Many artists choose to do what they do to express things when words cannot suffice. Van Gogh did not know how do express everything to other people in words, so he used his paints.

    Vincent was a very unique person--not many of his "nature" are found throughout history; the spirit that he possessed was one that was extremely beautiful. Not many people could see this; he could, and he knew that he was different.
    "Now I understand what you tried to say to me and how you suffered for your sanity, and how you tried to set them free" speaks of Vincent's reaching out to the world, and how he was misunderstood by his generation and by the people still today. He could see things with amazing clarity, but people today still don't understand. The world his blind--van Gogh knew it, and now Mclean is acknowledging that he, too, can see it. Notice, he even follows this with "perhaps they'll listen now" (though later he comes to the realization that society will never get it, when he ends the song with "perhaps they never will"). This could also be extrapolated to the destruction of society through lack of morals and goodwill to fellow beings. The world is becoming a far more cruel place to live in every day. all that it would take to make things better is for people to be compassionate.

    What a beatiful man. To go through life acutely aware of the pain felt by everyone about you must be unbearable, as can clearly be seen through his untimely suicide. Was Van Gogh so unique in his pain and compassion. Certainly he was not the first to end his life because of the cruelty of the world. To merely survive from day to day, it is necessary to commit acts of cruelty which are simply unthinkable to individuals of such genteel kindness. To not be brought to our knees by the hideous, and preventable things going on right in front of our faces, we virtually have to completely numb ourselves to the empathy with our fellow human beings. if we were to let ourselves feel all the pain that's going on around us, it would do to us what it did to Vincent. but is it too much to ask to sit up and take notice? to make a small contribution each day. to smile at a stranger, to do a good deed each day, to put someone elses feelings first. to take your pleasure of life from helping those around you.

    Then again, if his martyrdom and the suicide of so many others have passed into the abyss near-enough un-noticed, then what difference will one lost little boy's blog floating around the internet make? What will it take to make the world a better place? If only there was a switch somewhere that would make everybody care about everything. make people cry when they saw someone crying. If only.

    If.

    Yes, he killed himself because he couldn't deal with the cruelty of society, but also he did it in an effort to make people stop and see that there is something intrinsically wrong with society, and the world today. "They would not listen, they did not know how perhaps they'll listen now". The ultimate statement, when the entire world is filled with apathy, is martyrdom enough to make people actually stop and listen? I guess Van Gogh answers that himself. "perhaps they never will". He knew that nobody would notice his passing, but he did it anyway. Maybe he thought if even one person stopped long enough to see what he was trying to say, and to understand what needed done, that it would be worthwhile. worth his death. worth his life.

    Why are you so obsessed with this image of yourself as hurt, damaged?

    Because when everything fades to dust, I want to be remembered. even if it's just to one person, in their brief existance, until they blink out.

    so you sit on your couch and drink wine? and invest yourself into your image. so you become the person you pity, and you admire. what happened to you in your childhood to torment you this much?

    I can't say. it hurts to much to face the truth.

    The only way to get over these things is to bring it out. stop repressing it and tell me what happened to you.

    It's so difficult to admit.....Absolutely nothing at all. There's no reason for me to be this way. I had loving parents, I was never abused, I've got absolutely no reason to be unhappy. and that destroys me. so yes, i sit and drink, there's no reason for any of this. you're born, you contribute, or you don't, then you die. if you're lucky your memory might survive for a few hundred years. then all the people who remember you die too. people blink out of existance every second and sometimes they're forgotten in a heartbeat. there's no greater reason, there's no devine plan, there's no eternal soul, this is it, and there's no reason to be here.

    Does that trouble you?

    Why do you think I go to such lengths to be deep. because this is all we have, and society is such a disgusting place to exist in, and the human soul is so horribly corrupt. so I repress it, I deny it, until it becomes a seperate part of me, then I spend all my time trying to tame it.

    Which is more important, being happy or doing what's right?

    Doing what's right

    Why?

    Because how can you be happy if you don't like yourself? how can you like yourself if you don't care who you hurt? In the end, nobody lives for themselves. they put across an image that they want someone else to like. there's no point in doing anything for your own satisfaction because why does it matter? If a tree falls over in the forest and there's no-one around to hear it, is there any point in it making a sound?

    Are you comparing yourself to a tree?

    I'm comparing myself to a sound that shall never be heard. if it will never be heard, why does it exist in the first place?

    It just....does. the tree hears the sound. isn't that enough?

    No! it's not! entity's cannot be singular! to be observed is to exist.

    You don't believe that I think therefore I am?

    No I believe I am observed to think, Therefore I am.

    You'll never be happy unless you can accept that this troubled image of yourself is not real, and that you are not 'pure'. you are human act like it.

    Why?

    because if you don't then you'll never be content in life.

    and you think I'm the first? you think no-one else has been disconjoined with themselves?

    I think they've gotten help.

    Or killed themselves.

    But you're not suicidal.

    No. why bother, there's nothing waiting for me.

    so you admit there's something for you here?

    there's pain. There's conciousness.

    There's so much more. there's joy and happiness and love.

    Of course there is. the difference is, they're not necessary. Pain and misery can exist in solitude. for joy, there has to be an antithesis, there has to be an opposite. Depression and dismality are the base states of being. anything else is an abnormality.a chemical imbalance. I'm not saying you shouldn't be happy. I'm just saying it's not real.

    Lets just suppose for a second that you're right. why does that matter, why not be fake and happy?

    Because it's a charade, it takes effort to keep up the facade, and I'm lethargic, and why should I.

    Because it feels good?

    So does the pain. not the anguish, that feels bad. I mean the physical pain, that reassurance, that solidity. if you feel something cut through your flesh, you know your place in life. why do you think people get tattoos, piercings. sure, they look all pretty afterwards, but it's an excuse to feel that pain as it's happening, it's a rush, and that's better than any joy or happiness. trouble is there's only so much you can cut til you're going over old scar tissue. until you use yourself up. There's only so much vitality in a person.

    Do you want to be happy?

    To be happy would be to lack conciousnous. to be aware of oneself is to inheritely be aware of what it is to be happy. and once that knowledge is known then the opposite can be understood, and what is understood cannot be denied. to be happy, is to surrender that which makes us human.

    Do you want to be happy?

    Happiness and goodness are mutually exclusive. not all the time, but at least some of the time. if I was to be happy, I would hurt someone, somewhere, sometime, and I couldn't do that. admittedly, denying my humanity has created a seperate ego which I sometimes cannot control, but that's not really me is it? 'I' could never hurt anyone. and therefore I could never be happy.

    Do you want to be happy?

    .....I am happy.

    Inspired by House 3 -12.

    and wine.

    God there's some odd stuff in my head!

    comments, debates, arguements, all appreciated!

    Height?: around 6 foot? not really sure

    Weight?: hmmm, i think i was about 10 stone last time i checked

    Body Type?: lanky, but somehow still flabby. you wouldn't think those two could go together. yay for my uniqueness

    Piercings?: had my ears done a long time ago, that's grown out though.

    Tattoos?: no. i can't think what i could get that would represent my life well.

    What are you wearing right now?: yellow shoes with tigers on them, green wallace and gromit socks, blue jeans, black boxers, a muse t-shirt, a home-made top, and a blanket. it's cold, my parents can't afford to heat the house at night, so i have a blanket....

    What is your hair$tyle at the moment?: annoyingly short.

    * Favorites *

    Soda?: any of the fizzy lemon ones

    Food?: probably the spinach and riccotta panzerotti at la favourita in edinburgh

    Drinks?: vodka and coke. and wine. any wine.

    Alcoholic drink?: oh, this is the alcohol one, emm...more wine?

    Time of day?: don't really have one at the moment. i guess...early evening?

    Season?: autumn is so beautifully sad.

    Day of the week?: if i'm not working, sunday.

    Song at the moment?: damien rice - 9 crimes, and my chemical romance - cancer.

    Band/artist?: iron maiden, muse, mcfly, my chemical romance, damien rice,

    Book?: 'his dark materials' trilogy by phillip pullman. technically three books, but oh well.

    Subject in school?: music i guess.

    Place in the USA?: well the only place i've ever been was in the rocky mountains in colarado, and it was pretty awesome, so i guess that'll have to do.

    Place outside the USA?: shetland can be so amazingly beautiful if you have someone to share it with.

    Color?: don't really have one. colours lose their charm when they're isolated. it's the combinations and contrasts that makes them beautiful or interesting.

    $tyle of clothes?: i guess i wear skater/goth/emo clothes, but i wouldn't cl@ss myself as any of them. probably slightly emo-ey, but oh well.

    Store?: amazon. i don't have to leave the house, it's cheap, and it sells everything!

    * Worst *

    ****in school?: french. so pointless, if i wanted to go to france, then perhaps i'd want to learn french.

    Time of day?: first thing in the morning.

    Season?: winter but only when it's gloomy and bleak. if it's snowy, or stormy, or scary then it's great.

    ****of clothes?: see above.

    Celebrity?: oh they're all as bad as each other. well, no, that's a sweeping generalisation, i'm sure there are some okay ones, but in general, the whole celebrity/media industry is disgusting.

    Color?: grey.

    Book?: i have yet to read a book that i didn't feel glad that the author had taken the time to create and write the story. although the dictionary is a boring read....

    Type of music?: urban, dance, trance, hip hop, rap, etc, etc, etc

    Website?: any of those damned websites that clog up google when you're trying to find something, and when you click on them, they say, 'find such and such here' and then present you with a hundred hyperlinks to completely unrelated twaddle.

    Magazine?: oh all the gossipy celebrity rubbish that tells people that they're not normal unless they're skinny and going out and getting drunk every weekend, and **** every person they meet. really, why aren't there more supportive, less destructive messages being put across, about how life can be more than that, and how you can actually have some self respect for yourself, and find people who actually care about you in life. no wonder society is going downhill so fast.

    * Daily Life *

    Party?: no. too many people. i'd rather dinner parties, and garden parties to the drunken, loud, overcrowded things that seem to be all anyone is ever interested in.

    Get drunk?:

    Have sex?: not for a while. but to be honest, that's the last thing on my mind.

    Read books?: every chance i get.

    Like VH1?: don't have it.

    Like the History Channel?: don't think i have it. if i do i've never watched it.

    Have digital cable?: i have digital...

    Have more than 500 channels on your TV?: i doubt it.

    Listen to the radio?: not so much anymore, but still quite a lot.

    Still use your CD player?: not really. occasionally. ie - if i really like a band's new album i'll actually bother to buy it, and then listen to it on cd for a while.

    Stalk people?: no.

    Have more than 200 buddies in your buddy list?: which one? in fact, i don't think i have that many in any.

    Have dial-up internet?: yes. grrrr.

    Have AOL?: no

    Know HTML?: i can struggle through it. i know enough to create my own myspace page etc, and could probably create a basic web page. i know some jave though.

    Have a GPA higher than 3.9?: a what?

    Do well in honors ****s?: i don't understand this question. i'm guessing it's some american thing.

    Broadway Musical Songs?: oh yes.

    Oldies?: even bigger oh yes.

    * In a boyfriend/girlfriend *

    Hair color?: doesn't matter, as long as it suits them.

    Eye color?: again, doesn't matter, but blue eyes tend to be the most captivating.

    Tattoos?: if it's something that they feel sums them up, then it probably represents their personality, and if i was going out with them, i'm assuming i would like their personality, therefore i would probably like their tattoo.

    Piercings?: again, whatever suits.

    Favorite Music?: it's always nice if they share your tastes in music, but not terrible if they don't. just one less thing you can share together. (but they must love disney)

    ****of clothing?: nothing too slutty.

    Body type?: couldn't care less. i mean, of course i'd prefer them not to be absolutely hideous, but that's not what matters.

    Personality or looks?: personality.

    Would you go out with someone just for their money?: never.

    Do you go on "Pity Dates"?: i....don't go on dates. i wouldn't know how to.

    Does size matter?: see as a guy, i'm stuck. if i say yes, i sound arrogant and cocky. if i say no, i sound like i'm making excuses. but screw what you all think. no it doesn't.

    Do they have to be popular?: not at all. in fact it's normally better if they're not. just as a generalisation, the popular ones are usually the most shallow. besides, if they have less friends, they'll appreciate you all the more.

    Where do you go on the first date?: for dinner?

    Kiss on the first date?: i have no idea.

    Sex on the first date?: again, no idea, but on principle, i'd probably have to say no. sex should be something that means something, something that is intimately shared, and that can't happen if you don't really know the person. but i guess that's not a golden rule.

    * Right Now *

    Do you think you look good right now?: god no. i'm a mess.

    Are you eating something?: no. never really hungry these days.

    Are you drinking something?: no. although i could do with another cup of tea. i've only had 6 or 7 today and my hands are a bit shaky.

    Are you IMing anyone?: *sighs*

    Are you talking on the phone with someone?: I wish.

    Are you talking face-to-face with someone?: no.

    What are you listening to?: right now, there's actually quiet. just the tapping of my fingers on the keyboard.

    What are you watching on TV?: it's switched off.

    What other websites do you have open?: tv.com

    * What do you believe? *

    Do you believe in ghosts?: i don't firmly believe in them, but i in no way disbelieve in them.

    The afterlife?: there might be one, there might not be. we wont know til we get there, so why worry.

    Aliens?: it's highly possible.

    God?: i don't believe in the conventional, biblical sense of god, but there may be some higher power somewhere.

    The devil?: i don't think it's logically possible for something of pure evil to exist. there has to be good in there, otherwise there is no such thing as evil. there has to be the contrast there.

    Heaven?: no


    Hell?: no

    Scientology?: i'll skip all these, because i am not familiar in their beliefs

    Hinduism?: ...

    Buddhism?: ...

    Christianity?: ...

     I had a duck-billed platypus when I was up at Trinity,
    With whom I soon discovered a remarkable affinity.
    He used to live in lodgings with myself and Arthur Purvis,
    And we all went up together for the Diplomatic Service.
    I had a certain confidence, I own, in his ability,
    He mastered all the subjects with remarkable facility;
    And Purvis, though more dubious, agreed that he was clever,
    But no one else imagined he had any chance whatever.

    I failed to pass the interview, the board with wry grimaces
    Took exception to my boots and then objected to my braces,
    And Purvis too was failed by an intolerant examiner
    Who said he had his doubts as to his sock-suspender's stamina.
    Our summary rejection, though we took it with urbanity
    Was naturally wounding in some measure to our vanity;
    The bitterness of failure was considerably mollified,
    However, by the ease with which our platypus had qualified.

    The wisdom of the choice, it soon appeared, was undeniable;
    There never was a diplomat more thoroughly reliable.
    The creature never acted with undue precipitation,
    But gave to every question his mature consideration.
    He never made rash statements his enemies might hold him to,
    He never stated anything, for no one ever told him to,
    And soon he was appointed, so correct was his behaviour,
    Our Minister (without Portfolio) to Trans-Moravia.

    My friend was loved and honoured from the Andes to Esthonia,
    He soon achieved a pact between Peru and Patagonia,
    He never vexed the Russians nor offended the Rumanians,
    He pacified the Letts and yet appeased the Lithuanians,
    Won approval from his masters down in Downing Street so wholly,
    He was soon to be rewarded with the grant of a Portfolio,
    When on the Anniversary of Greek Emancipation,
    Alas! He laid an egg in the Bulgarian Legation.

    This untoward occurrence caused unheard-of repercussions,
    Giving rise to epidemics of sword-clanking in the Prussians.
    The Poles began to threaten, and the Finns began to flap at him,
    Directing all the blame for this unfortunate mishap at him;
    While the Swedes withdrew entirely from the Anglo-Saxon dailies
    The right of photographing the Aurora Borealis,
    And, all efforts at reapprochement in the meantime proving barren,
    The Japanese in self-defence annexed the Isle of Arran.

    My platypus, once thought to be more cautious and more tentative
    Than any other living diplomatic representative,
    Was now a sort of warning to all diplomatic students
    Of the risks attached to negligence, the perils of imprudence,
    Beset and persecuted by the forces of reaction,
    He reaped the consequences of his ill-considered action,
    And, branded in the Honours List as 'Platypus, Dame Vera',
    Retired, a lonely figure, to lay eggs in Bordighera.
