I am writing my recommendation for the Graduate School (strength – originality; weaknesses – passion for procrastination; how to describe yourself believably as a future academic genius, anyway?), while listening to The Doors .

I like it, but I am not a real fan, and I know almost nothing behind the songs. Why am I writing this? One of the songs, The Crystal Ship eerily reminded me of Drusilla. The melody, the lyrics

THE DOORS - The Crystal Ship

Before you slip into unconsciousness
I'd like to have another kiss,
another flashing chance at - bliss,
another kiss, an - other kiss.


Days are bright and filled with pain.
Enclose me in your gentle rain,
the time you ran was too in - sane,
we'll meet again, we'll meet again.


Tell me where your freedom lies,
the streets are fields that never die,
deliver me from rea - sons why
you'd rather cry, I'd rather fly.


The crystal ship is being filled,
a thousand girls, a thousand thrills,
a million ways to spend - your time;
when we get back, I'll drop a line.

– brought her image to my mind. Then weird plot bunnies appeared. Dru does have a taste for poets, right? She’s had something of a “flower child” image; Spike mentioned having been at Woodstock; Jim Morrison died young.

They could have known each other. Very closely. In the world where Spike and Dru actually exist.

Now, as I dumped this “brilliant” idea here, I can go back to serious stuff.


Just got my TOEFL score. I needed 5 for writing, I've got 4.5. I hate 30-minutes essays on the silliest topics ever. Will have to do it again. Shit.

Thank you! That’s really nice of you!
The thing with this TOEFL essay is that it is not so much about expressing one’s thoughts in coherent grammatically correct English, as about ability to write a strong essay in 30 minutes. And I probably wouldn’t write much about cows in any language. Still, I contacted the admission officer, and she told me that since overall score is very good, I just have to submit a brilliant thesis proposal and they will overlook essay score. So, I am trying to pull something brilliant out of my… whatever.

But thanks again – that really means a lot.

And musings about possible adventures of Spike in rock music world is too much fun. ;)
