sleeping with a kiss to unheated death

THE MAN FROM NOWHERE
He was a strange one all right . . . just as the authorities said . . . this young man who acted as though he had just dropped in from another world . . .

He was just outside the new gate entrance to the city of Nuremberg, Germany, when an inquisitive policeman first noticed him. He was clean, but so poorly dressed that he was almost ragged. The policeman later told his superiors that he had first been attracted to the young man by the difficulty with which he seemed to walk . . . as though suffering from some deformity which caused him to stumble. His feet were badly swollen; his eyes were squinted against the light . . .

The inquisitve policeman tried to question the lad but he learned nothing . . . over and over the stranger kept repeating . . .

"I want to be soldier like my father was!"

It did not sound like an expression of determination . . . but more like a chant . . . as though the strange young man who uttered it was merely reciting words he did not understand.

The policeman led him to the station, where the Mayor and other local dignitaries gathered to observe and question this unusual visitor. In a monotone the young man continued to repeat his assertion that he wished to be a soldier like his father.

His name? He evidently did not understand what they were saying and he stared blankly. But when a pen was placed in his hand he giggled nervously and wrote in a slow, legible hand . . . K A S P E R H A U S E R. He could not . . . or would not . . . write anything else. But on that quiet Whitmonday afternoon in 1828, the young man had inscribed on the records the name that was to mark the beginning of a puzzle which remains unsolved to this day.

When food was placed before him, he seized it in his hands and crammed it into his mouth as though he were famished. A mug of cold milk was evidently something he had never ecnountered before and he recoiled from it. Water he drank, but not until he had sampled it with a forefinger.

Just before nightfall, while the baffled city fathers of Nuremberg were trying to decide what to do with their enigmatic visitor, he presented them with two more pieces to the puzzle . . . two letters wrapped in rags which he carried inside his tattered vest. One letter purported to be from his mother. Dated sixteen years before, it urged anyone who found the boy to send him to Nuremberg when he was seventeen so he could enlist in the Sixth Cavalry of which his father had been a member, according to the letter.

The other missive was badly written and purported tobe from someone who had found the boy and cared for him but who could no longer support him.

Oddly, both letters wree written on some sort of thin leather or parchment which was not familar to the officials ar Nuremberg.

Kasper Hauser, if that was indeed his name, spent that first night with the city's most learned man, Dr. Daumer, were the young man promptly astonished his host by trying to pick the flame off a candle. Further tests brought out that he had no depth preception whatsoever and, although he seemed to be in full pocession of his faculties, they were as undeveloped as those of a baby.

Although the condition of his feet and legs indicated that he had walked a considerable distance, no one could be found who had seen him on the road. A reward was offered for anyone who could identify him. Pictures were distributed throughout Europe, but to no avail. The more the officials probed, the deeper the mystery of Kasper Hauser became.

Under the kind and patient Tutelage of Dr. Daumer, Kapser Hauser learned quickly . . . first to speak . . . and then to write. He told his new-found friends that he had been raised since infancy in total darkness in a cellar . . . had never tasted anything but black bread and water . . . had never seen the man who brought his food in total darkness. He had seldom heard speech . . . and then only a few words. But how, or why, or where he had spend those years he had no idea.

In October of 1829, Kasper came stumbling out of Dr. Daumer's basement, bleeding from a deep gash on the head which he said had been inflicted be a masked man weilding a long knife. The city officials assigned two policeman to guard him after thtat . . . but while they dozed on the afternoon of December 14, 1833, Kasper Hauser went for a stroll in the park across the street . . a stroll from which he came staggering back a few mintues later . . . dying from a stab wound which surgeons said could not have been self-inflicted.

The snow in the park revealed no footprints other than Kasper's . . . and no trace of the weapon.

The well-documented facts in the enigma of Kasper Hauser etitled it to a place in the records as one of the stangest cases of its kind.

Von Feurbach wrote of him . . . "Kasper Hauser showed much ignorance of the simplest facts of life . . . and such horror of the necessities of civilization . . . that one feels driven to believe that he was a native of another planet . . . transferred by some miracle to our own."

you got a reaction, you got a reaction, didn't you? you took a white orchid, took a white orchid and turned it blue
well today i went shaw-pang. well see my grandma has been afraid to shopping alone ever since some boys were teasing her in the parking lot of kmart or something, like calling her old and grandma and stuff. (why does it have to be HER? you see my mom bets that she is bipolar, you know, so like, she's AFRAID of it now...) so my mom took me, her, and my sister up to the crafts place in the mall, after that my sister went off doing her thing in the mall and took the bus home and i stayed with my mom and grandma, then we looking in the other one, and then we finally found Gold Star <3 i bought some strawberry soda, 2 boxes of banana flavored pocky (ate one box already) and two of the those weird jelly drink things like ninamori and naota had in furikuri, only they have like some photoshoped picture of heero yue on them O.o i got a grape one and a pineapple one. My granmda gave me ten dollars and that's what i used it on, before i knew we were going there i was planning on saving it towards jrock but i'm a compulsive spender <.<

i think this song means "Country of Sun" but i'm not sure if i translated that right...it's a sweet song, though, it was a very uplifting aura about it.

Anyway i got back from that party a little while ago, we didn't see the Amish people though because we left before they came. It was at some farmy place. The DID grill a pig, but what was weird is they also did cook a GOAT, and some guy shot some WOODCHUCKS and cooked them. I only ate pretzels and cookies. There were some girls there around my age, they were okay i guess. They were too much into active stuff, like they were climbing the latters on the huge silos and stuff and running through these old barns, but i didn't trust the rickety stairs, especially with my huge healed shoes, they make me feel unsturdy. We went looking for chickens but we couldn't find any. That's okay because the girl who lives there said the chickens were mean. I was telling them about my school and how all the boys used to wear girl jeans and the one girl was all like "EMO BOYS! They're hot" lol. She liked my shirt (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) and my shoes, i guess she's supposed to be into gothic stuff or something. She liked anime though, and she said she had a friend who listens to jpop. She commented that my sister looked like one of her ex boyfriends O.o

You Are a Glam Rocker!

You put the "show" in rock show with your larger than life self. No doubt, you are all about making good music... But what really gets you going is having an over the top show. Glitter, costumes, and wild hair are your thing - with some rock thrown in!

How You Life Your Life

You are honest and direct. You tell it like it is. You say whatever is on your mind. Other people's reactions don't phase you. You tend to have one best friend you hang with, as opposed to many aquaintences. You tend to dream big, but you worry that your dreams aren't attainable.

You are Agonistic

You're not sure if God exists, and you don't care. For you, there's no true way to figure out the divine. You rather focus on what you can control - your own life. And you tend to resent when others "sell" religion to you.

You Are 37% American

America: You don't love it or want to leave it. But you wouldn't mind giving it an extreme make over. On the 4th of July, you'll fly a freak flag instead... And give Uncle Sam a sucker punch!

damn, i had no idea how boring summer can be <3

god this is lame, same day, in, out.... lately i've been so bored i can't even sleep. i want something to do to occupy my time, but not school, because know i hate hc and i wish i transfered to academy, even though my mom can't afford it, i wish i could still go. well at least when school starts up again, i may be able to babysit for bob and gabby again, that was god money. money that i pissed away on jrock and probably will again this year. i feel caged, somehow, like there's so much i want to do and become, but circumstances i can't control are holding me back, so i'm stuck in this limbo which is giving me horrible pain. i checked my biorythm today, i'm very good for emotional and physical, but my intellectual is really bad. i've been checking my horoscopes lately, and they actually do offer great advice. it told me recently that i'm at a decision point that's causing me stress but whatever way i choose will work out fine. i feel sometype of ease in horoscopes. there's so much i want to accomplish but so far i'm at a dead start, i want to really make myself something meaningful but i don't know how to cultivate whatever type of hidden potenial i have. if any.

what's that lurking behind that door? AARRRGGGGHHH!
back from vacation, a bit earlier than expecting, but that's okay. we did a lot of fun things, we saw fantastic 4 and rebound, we went to this museum in indianapolis, kinda boring though, because it was all pictures of idians and sticks and trees and stuff, (me and cassie swear this one indian is peeing in one of the pictures) and we walked around the man-made canals, we went to the mall, too, in all i bought the horrorpop's cd, a jpop compilation, katamari damacy, and star ocean: till the end of time, and a poster for als, to pay her back for getting me something on her vacay. i finally got my gauze VCD to work :D the whole cd's music videos! in one of them, someone (it may have been totchi but i couldn't tell if it was a bass or not) but he had this huge-like sombraro thing, only all black and feathers. we were calling it 'the righteous pimp hat' and well, i think i traumatized cassie with diru's graphic videos, lol.

Edit. DIE. It was Die with the righteous pimp hat. um.. i think so? o.<

EDIT edit. IT WAS KAORU.

there is a drop of blood on the ground. and it seems to me that it's not my kind but i can't be sure if it's yours or mine

You Are Rocky Road Ice Cream

Unpredictable and wild, you know how to have fun. You're also a trendsetter who takes risks with new things. You know about the latest and greatest - and may have invented it. You are most compatible with vanilla ice cream.

You are dreamy, peaceful, and young at heart. Optimistic and caring, you tend to see the best in people. You tend to be always smiling - and making others smile. You are shy and intelligent... and a very hard worker. You're also funny, but many people don't see your funny side. Your subtle dry humor leaves your close friends in stitches.

Your Libra Drinking Style

"I'm jusht a social drinker," you slur, "it's jusht that I'm so damn social?" You love nothing more than to party, mingle and relate to everyone. Whether dipped in favor of Good Libra (with Insta-Friend device set to "on") or heavier on the Evil Libra side (you are little instigators when bored), you can really work a room. Charming as you are, you are notoriously lacking in self-control. And this can get you into all sorts of trouble -- including wearing their wobbly boots waaaay too early in the evening. You may end up flirting with you best friend's sweetie or even blacking out the night's events entirely. Oops!

Your Signature Cocktails

Aesthetic Libras like pretty, pouffy drinks like a pink lady or a brandy Alexander. That's the influence of Venus, your ruling planet, which also gives you a horror of crudely named potions like Sex on the Beach. You're fine with "normal" guzzles like apple martinis, but every Libra secretly just wants champagne... and lots of it.

Your Celebrity Drinking Buddies

Eminem, Simon Cowell, Avril Lavigne, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Usher, Gwen Stefani, Hillary Duff, and Will Smith.

Your Summer Anthem is Holiday by Green Day Hear the sound of the falling rain Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey!) The shame The ones who died without a name Dude, you're harshing everyone's summer mellow.

the maid that you've hired could never conspire to kill. she's to mother, not quietly smother you when you're most ill

SO. I'm due for an update. Well I'll be heading for Indiana on Tuesday, and I'll be gone for 2 weeks so that means I won't be back until around the 19th. And a week later than that my cousins are coming in from Colorado ^.^ Tomorrow we're gonna launch all the um *coughillegalcough* fireworks. We're not doing it monday because my sister has school and stuff. Oh! We're also going to have king crab tomorrow ^-^ My mom gave me 50 dollars for my trip, too. Cassie says they have a hottub now. I like staying with her family. My mom says Cassie's mom wants to kidnap me, lol. My mom's been pouty lately because I'm leave for..2 weeks OmG!!!111one lol. She's all "What am I supposed to do without you for two weeks?" lol. I found out from the orthodontist that in the next few oppointments I'm going to have my braces off and have a retainer. The retainer I think its going to have a fake tooth in it :/ I think sometime after that I'm going to get the surgery to get a real fake tooth implant (real fake? ain't that an oxymoron?) and i think he said they were also going to widen another of my teeth. I think this will be my first cosmetic surgery :D I have some mixed feelings about going, cuz i know i'll get a little homesick, but i'll be so happy to see Cassie and stuff, she's been showing up in my dreams lately. lol. i feel kind of uncomfortable in her house though, but that's just cause I'm nervous to be polite and stuff, you know? I may update a few times while I'm there because they have a computer. We still are plotting to see Charlie and the Chococalte factory :D We also wanted to go to a drive in tripple feature like we did last year and stay up till 4 am in our pajamas watching the movies ^^
