I gazed up into the sky, certain if I squinted proficiently...the rings would reveal themselves.<br /><br />In fact, I gave up looking for Santa...for "the rings". <br /><br />Neither appeared in the darkness. I was devistated. <br /><br />Now I'm 48 years old.

I like the contrasts--high temps, probable ice core, fairly large but travels around its sun in less than three days, but it's also one of the smallest planets of its kind. It's kind of lonely out there with just a sun for company (though it may have a sibling planet), plus all its inhabitants left a long time ago. One of them is here on earth and has been bugging me to get him in a story :)Leah McClellanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18183361669157109674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-33137815189320731172010-01-29T11:13:21.367-05:002010-01-29T11:13:21.367-05:00Mercury, because I love messages, both giving them...Mercury, because I love messages, both giving them and receiving them. And I like to watch the inner temperatures rise and fall with those messages. And I like to appear and disappear. I like it when parts of me find each other and grow into a ball that keeps collecting more of itself as it rolls. Not so fond tho, of when I break off into many balls rolling in different directions, but since I'm Mercury, I just roll around until I'm all together again.catvibehttp://www.catvibe.net/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-55803144322684220212010-01-29T10:45:42.378-05:002010-01-29T10:45:42.378-05:00Come on, Jason.
