108 words. Darn it, I broke my streak. But I couldn't shorten, so... oh, well! Hope you like it.

Title: Trodden
Prompt: "memory"

Memories make the person.

Every event that's ever happened molds you into who you are.

Moments of happiness and joy.

Or moments of pain, grief, and anger.

Reliving your memories shows you were you've been and how far you've come.

You're what your memories make you.

My memories have made me into... something.

Each of the "damned distasteful things" I've done have darkened my soul.

Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, husbands, wives have lost someone because of me.

O'Neill the Killer.

Regret, over so many things, hangs on my consciousness.

Yet these people, my team, make me into something else -- bringing me what I never thought was possible... Salvation.

No, sorry. I don't have a life, but I didn't find time to look for them, since I came back from Cologne. I still have tons of comments from Eloise to answer, but those require thinking. And I don't do that well in the middle of the night. Well, actually it's morning already, so maybe I should try to get them out of the way now. ;)

I only have the J.D. pictures. Or some of them. I need to find a good site for 'Joan of Arcadia'. I hope I'll get done with the picture search next weekend. Maybe I'll just have to use your muffins. ;)

Tehe. We'll see how they look when I finally get them done. But keep looking for pics. :)

I will. But in case you are bored or something, maybe you'll get inspiration for a new background picture for my lj and would like to make one.

I like the grey of the text boxes, so I would like to leave them grey. But I want a different background image. And like always, I don't really have an idea what it should be other than that it should look good with the grey text boxes. You can do landscapes, or just something abstract or something from the shows I watch or anything that has to do something with my interests.

But you don't have to do it, just because I gave you that paid account. That was for the mood theme. And some day I will have those pics and you will have to make it for me. ;)

Well, I was bored. *g* Try THIS on for size. I was just playing around, so if you want something done differently, text added, or even something completely different altogether, just let me know. :)

I sized it to your existing background, so you shouldn't have to change any settings, just change the pic.

It looks cool. I'm gonna upload it to my server and try it tomorrow. Or you know, today. But after I slept a bit. I don't wanna mess up the coding stuff on my page. I'll never get that sorted out again.

*hugs*

Thank you.
