7.31.11

      like before but better

i've been meaning to make this official for a little bit now and keep forgetting.  well here it is, for those who care:

if we were seagoing vessels; the official list.

ben is a leaky lifeboat lost at sea.  the holes are patched with odds and ends, he's growing a massive beard, his clothes are in tatters and he's drinking moonshine out of a jug, but he's perfectly happy floating along.

devin is a submarine.  he navigates using sonar, observes (read: spies on others) with a para-scope and when shit gets intense he submerges.

ryan is a gondola, sleekly wooing young beauties in the echoing canals of some utterly, absurdly, achingly romantic city.  

shannon is a british man o' war.  she's tall and lovely in form and function, a gorgeous, unparalleled vessel that will suddenly throw out 40 cannons and blow you out of the water.

jessi is a viking ship on an epic quest through uncharted waters.

galvin is a top shelf booze cruise like the kind where everyone is in fancy dresses but they still pour patron down your throat and shake your head around.

terra joy is a sailboat zipping around this way and that, riding sideways in the wind.

eli is a battleship.  a very clean, orderly, ship shape battleship.

terra rose is an indian canoe, stealthily and silently paddling through the wild.

emma pearl is a lily pad.

i am a pirate ship. always hunting for treasure; taking this and that here and there, and dropping anchor in whatever harbor i can until it's time to move on again.
