New song, Mercedes Lackey this time (I think, I'm awfully tired though sooooo...)

Some Kind of Hero

Hey, do me a favor, piano-man please;
I want you to write me a song,
Cause they call me the hero of Antelope's Run
and I gotta show them they're wrong.

You see it all started a week ago
in a bar down on corridor 3,
there was nobody there but us regular bums,
two losers, the barman and me.

Knockin' down booze in the north corner booth,
was the old man they called Captain Jed,
Cause he owned a tramp frieghter, the old Antelope,
a ship, that like him was half dead.

And Molly they say was a crack pilot once!
A gal with a brilliant career,
but then she started doping on Regula Swan
and she finally washed up down here.

Then there was me, I wanted the Navy bad,
but it seems that they didn't want me,
so I stopped chasin' stars, started sweepin' up bars
for my bed, board and all my drinks free.

It was quiet that night when the docks closed down;
there was nothin' due in for a week,
Not a ship was in port but the old Antelope
and the red alert started to shriek!

And the whole station shook like a hurt livin' thing
and the lights dimmed and faded away,
then the gravity went, and the airpumps cut out,
and the bartender started to pray.

"Ah, stow that bilge, head for the Antelope NOW!"
Jed's voice cut the dark like a knife,
"cause the station's reactor's gone critical load,
so run for the docks for your life!"

When we got to the docks we found waitin' out there,
every soul that had been left alive,
and they begged with their eyes for ol' Captain Jed,
to tell them all how to survive.

"Go break out your suits!" said the Captian to them,
"Cause it's dark and it's airless and cold,
but I swear I can get you all out of here, safe!
packed into the Antelope's hold."

"Molly, m'girl, can you navigate?"
"Aye, but who do we have for a crew?"
"Well, the Antelope only needs three hands," he said,
"and I think our tall friend there will do!"

Well, the confident look that he flashed at me then
made my heart fair turn over with pride!
I never once thought about backing away,
I think I would rather have died!

So we packed 'em all into the Antelope's hold,
plus the Captain and Molly and me,
We slammed the locks just as the station blew wide,
Jed hit the main jets to get free.

Well, that kind of G-force is tough on the heart;
too much for the old guy to take.
When we came around and we saw how he lay,
well, we knew Captain Jed wouldn't wake.

So, I took the com and the engineer boards,
Molly was helm and the nav,
We plotted a course back to occupied space,
With our minds on what we didn't have.

It was three jumps made clean; only one more was left,
when the ship's alarm started to blast,
seems our old worn out seals had come loose in the stress,
we were losin' our heat and air fast.

On the bridge there was only one vacuum suit left;
and they say Lady Luck is stone blind.
"Heads or tails?" was the question I started to ask,
when I felt myself hit from behind.

When I came to again, I was sealed in the suit.
She was belted down tight in her chair.
With her hands on the console, a smile on her lips,
and ice crystals frosting her hair.

"Here are the instructions, to get us all home,"
was all she she had left on the screen.
"But if any old shipmates should ask after Moll,
you just tell 'em she finally died clean."

Well, I made that last jump just like she told me to,
and I brought the ship in like she said.
and they call me a hero now for what I did,
but they don't mention Molly or Jed!

So you write me that song now, piano man please,
and sing it out often and loud!
So they all know the story of one kind of hero,
the kind to make any one proud.

Cause some kind of heroes are lunkheads, like me.
Who only do what they are told.
And some kinds of heroes are out for the glory,
they're heroes on purpose, and cold.

And some become heroes, for bravery sure!
and some just because all is lost,
but a few are the heroes like Molly or Jed,
who just give without counting the cost.

Now that I've succesfully depressed the rest of you too, I'm off to bed for a bit.

Isn't that for asthma and other breathing problems?

Prednisone is a Cortical (sp?) steroid that is used for many many things, including asthma. I've been on it for bronchitis, severe poison oak attacks, staph infections and FUCKING CROHNS DISEASE. I have now been on it for six months, and they say it's gonna take about six more months to get me off of it. If I ever refert to the Evil Drug From Satan, I mean prednisone. I have a friend with fibromyalgia (sp?) and she's been on prednisone. My step grandma has a billion and one skin problms and her dr give her prednisone for it. My cousin has MS and she's been put on it for the MS. It works, the question is : Is it worth it?

 

[snowy ciara]

I was on it when I had pneumonia, too, to reduce the inflamation in my lungs. And this was after they gave it to me for chicken pox for the blisters. It's also used for the itching/pain in cellulitis (skin infection usually caused by staphococcyx germs.) Luckily, it wasn't me that had that one; the girl was fucking miserable! I know you hate it, gracie, but it does help a lot for some people.

 

[Aeroil]

lol, something's actually wrong with the banana gif on my comp, he doesn't dance he just stands there, all the other gifs are fine

lack of sleep makes you fat

Ok so here is another: according to studies, lack of sleep makes you fat. Yep just saw it on 20/20. Something about the hormones that make you want to eat the hormone that does not make you want to eat.

Are you still awake now? Is this stressing you out yet

Hey Uncle Roscoe, please don't sic your posse on me.

Hey Uncle Roscoe, please don't sic your posse on me.

More likely the midnight munchies make you fat.

 

[snowy ciara]

Well, I've been evicted from Uncle Rosco's posse, cause he says I'm too innocent. So you're safe from me.

I guess I'm just stuck trying to not get all super creative. Maybe I'll just try to catch up with Graceanne's postage count.

Miss Diva must be missing sleep. She managed to translate the quote and name the source....

 

[Miss Diva]

The problem is I go to bed exhausted and wake up exhausted. Mind you, I am at a new job and trying to assimilate everything very quickly. Previous to this job I had been laid off for eight months. And now, on the weekends I still wake up at six.

 

[Bandit58]

*sigh* He had another bad night last night.....He sends me to bed so at least one of us gets some sleep.....I got up this morning and He was asleep in the chair but no idea when He nodded off.....He's gone back to bed but will need to eat soon

 

[Xelebes]

*looks at watch*

I've been up for almost 39 hours now. Not feeling too terribly tired nor the desire to sleep, mind you I don't have work for this weekend so I'm all fine. It's great when you party UK-style, I tell you.

It's 4.45am & I'm still awake again, exhausted & in pain.

 

[Xelebes]

Well, I stayed up for a total of 40 hours yesterday, though tossing and turning for an hour (which seems to be a must for me in bed) added an unecessary hour to that total.

 

[Aeroil]

only got about 6 1/2 hours sleep last night, so school was absolutely no fun today...... For some that's probably not too bad, for me, if I don't get the full eight at least (ten, usually) I am astoundingly tired for the remainder of the day, and when I have to work hard in school it just makes me wanna bash my skull on my desk...... anyway, enough ranting lol, I'm home for now.

 

[arctic-stranger]

ONLY 6 and half hourss?????

i would have given almost anything short of a french accent to have had that much the other night. One hour and i had to give a talk the next day. with no notes.

Only 6 and half....? that is a good night for me.

Gentle hugs for both of you..

Aeroil.. 6.5 HOURS!?!?! Good thing you're nice and cute and far away, or we'd have to come party at your house these nights when we're all up.

Uncle Rosco and his Posse

I could give you a french accent if you like. Got a good night's sleep.

Anyone know where Uncle Rosco and his posse are this week?

 

[snowy ciara]

Dunno... I even sent him all the salacious details of my morning Lech session and that didn't even wake him up. Should we worry yet?

 

[Xelebes]

I usually get 8 hours of sleep, 6 and a half is not a problem for me. But man, I am getting tired already and I woke up at noon today. That spat yesterday was fun while it lasted. It wasn't hell yet.
