...is also a new radio play that you can listen to on BBC's Listen Again page. Rumours have it that it aired May 3 and is available starting the Thursday after, so it may be there already. Am confused.

Got an icon! From Chosen Two.

Also changed the LJ title, using a line from Marianne Moore's "Poetry", which fully goes: "imaginary gardens with real toads in them".

My user name, btw, is from Shakespears' Sonnet 116 ("Let me not to the marriage of true minds") which I was made to memorize and haven't forgotten. I always loved the sounds of this line: "love's not time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks within his bending sickle's compass come".

Of course, I wanted to be "anaesthesia", because I must agree with Neil (in Neverwhere) that it's a great name. It was taken, of course, so I tried "gladly_beyond" from EECumming's "somewhere i have never travelled", the only poem so far to bring me to tears, but that too was taken.

So far, am pleased with the site. Next up: friends list and more icons!

glad you explained where you got the name from, i meant to ask you in an email but forgot to. i've never actually read any of the sonnets, but that line is very beautiful...

*goes to find an eecummings site to read poetry*
