While I'd hardly consider myself an old vet, I have seen the dynamic of Pixies change. Three or four times, actually.

Pixies is a living document. Everyone that joins brings something to the site and people that leave take something away. Sometimes those things are good and sometimes they're not. That's what makes us a family.

Last year was different from last week...and yesterday was different from today. Though some names and faces change, the mindframe is still there. We have fun and get along in a respectful and sexy way.

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
