Best Friend

The brick and mortar embellishment
conceals despair.
I buried it in the backyard,
along with that old rag of a dog,
that I loved and held to my heart.
Passed on and by too fast for
my eyes and hands to grab tight.
And I wonder now, if I had held
just a bit tighter, would I have
a handful of fur rather than dirt
and hurt?






p.s. been body snatching...Mayo is Keyser Söze.

Anon, I haven't had enough coffee yet.

Hi Anima..

I hate grocery shopping if only someone who come home and put the damn stuff away for me. It's bad enough buying the crap.

anima said...

Hi Elena, I couldn't agree more.

anima said...

That buzznet thing makes my eyes bleed.

I haven't even thought about Thanksgiving yet. Don't want to. Just not in in the holiday mood!

Hi everybody (hi DR Nick) and I do me everybody when I say hi How are my fellow bloggers. Hey we could be the Fellowship of the blogger. Yes that was stupid but I'm in somewhat of a good mood.

Hello Anonymous.

I understand.


I suspect you will be able to answer my question.

What is born each night and dies each dawn?

anima said...

Elena, I am not looking forward to thanksgiving. I am kind of a holiday pooper.

MJ, the "Fellowship of the Blogger," I like it!

Okay, now I am really going to go smoke. BRB.

Martha, how is your holiday spirit?

Ah, this is fun.

Elena I have no Holiday spirit. Its just not the same anymore. I guess thats what happens when you grow up. But how is your Holiday spirit?

And why a reference to an Opera?

elena said...

My holiday spirt sucks. I tried listening to some Christmas music. That was a big mistake. Don't know what is wrong but I'm just not feeling it.

Anon - Hope you made it to the bathroom

Martha Smith-Jones said...

I don't know why the reference to an Opera. But I was having fun.

anima said...

Mayo, did you like the Tool lyrics I left you on the last blog? I hope you are a Tool fan :)

What about the picture of New York? It's one of my favorite diptychs.

I'm sorry anonymous. I couldn't resist!

anima said...

Not sure either MJ. Good answers by the way.

Elena, I have been trying to convince my family that we should an adopt-a-family for christmas rather than give gifts to each other. I hate giving to my neices and nephews that have way too fucking much. I love them to pieces but geez they are spoiled. I'd rather give to someone that needs it. That's why holidays are not really fun for me. Maybe I will just adopt a family on my own and tell my family that I gave in their name.

Hi Miss T!

MissTottenham said...

Hello MJ and Elena, I'm good. How about you two?

Smoke said...

Well, okay. I thought about it, I slept on it, I thought about it some more.....and I just have one thing to say.



I don't know any more today, than I did yesterday.

I do agree with Kapunua though, something about these last couple of posts sounds different. Familiar, but different.

It is sad, though. Losing and letting go of anything. A human friend, a four-legged friend, time, health, patience, compassion, control, a voice, anything. Whatever it is that matters to you.

I could say alot more but I don't want to, not right now.

Bodysnatching, eh?

Hmmmmmm, guess a pulse wouldn't have anything to do with it. Nah.

XOXO,
Princess

P.S. - Just where the hell did my Lloyd Dobbler go? I can't seem to find him anywhere.

MissTottenham said...

Hi Anima, how are you?



We don't have thanksgiving. Isn't it strange to have another xmas like holiday so close to xams?

ABRIDGED PLOT, IF YOU ONLY HAVE 5 MINUTES TO READ.
(Argumento reducido si sólo disponés de 5 minutos para leer)

Puccini's last opera was left unfinished at his death, and what he had intended to be a final, transcendent love duet was completed by a younger colleague, Franco Alfano. In Peking's Imperial Palace, the fatally beautiful Princess Turandot receives unlucky suitors from far and wide, who must answer three riddles to win her hand—or die. Calaf, son of the exiled King Timur of Tartary, is struck with Turandot's beauty, and ignoring protests from his father and Liù, the servant girl who loves him, he matches wits with the princess. Although he guesses the three riddles, Calaf offers his life to Turandot if she can discover his secret name. Searching the city in vain, the princess finally tortures faithful Liù, driving her to suicide. Faced with Liù's sacrifice and Calaf's stern devotion, Turandot crumbles, and weeping in Calaf's arms, she declares that his secret name is Love.

hi everyone :) how´s it going ?

Martha Smith-Jones said...

Shit my computer is acting up be back in a few. Hi to all who have returned by the way

MissTottenham said...

Hi Pixie, how are you today?

elena said...

anima - I love you idea of adopting a needy family for Christmas. I have my daughters buy gifts for people off Angel Trees. It is sickening how many people have so much when there are so many who have nothing. We live in such a fucked up world. The holidays with the BUY BUY BUY spirit just make it so much more obvious.

Anon - I really hope there isn't gonna be a test on this material cause if so I'm gonna fail.

anima said...

Thank you Anon. I didn't know the plot. I guess I could have looked it up. Maybe I am not waking up as much as I thought.

Pixie said...

I´m okay miss t and you? :)

Smoke said...

Well that's just sad.

elena said...

Hello Pixie...
How are you today?

MissTottenham said...

I'm good pixie. I hope you are feeling a little better today.

Pixie said...

jep miss t a lil bit... actually now I feel better then in the afternoon ^^ thanks :)

oh I´m okay elena, hor are you?

anima said...

Bye MJ. Hi Pixie!

Elena, I have a lot of issues with Christmas [today's version of it]. I could go on and on about it. Maybe I should write a blog. Yes, that is what I will do. That is really awesome that you have your kids buy something from the Angel Trees. I heard of a family that had this rule. For every toy the kids wanted for christmas they had to take another toy from their current collection and give it away to charity. I like that idea.

dei gratia said...

Mayo,

You’ve gone all cryptic again!
This is heartbreaking, you want them back don’t you…..those people you have cast aside and sacrificed along the way.

Have you built something to hide behind?
Always hold tight, when you fall fur is a softer landing than dirt.

I didn't answer your previous blog properly, Mayo.


This is me:

I am a daughter, sister, friend and health professional.

I have a lot of love to give but am too afraid.I still believe in love.

I am the giver of advice but never the heeder.

I hide behind masks and labels; too afraid that the reality will be disappointing.

I love shoes; the only thing that makes me feel sexy.

I am stubborn, I have to have the last word and I cannot say sorry. I am always right, even when I’m wrong!

I am honest; I wear my heart on my sleeve. I am too trusting, naïve and gullible.

I care deeply and feel deeply; sometimes my job tears me apart.

I am the worlds biggest procrastinator.

I am a joker; another mask.

I have never fitted in.

I am afraid I won’t cope when I lose him. I am afraid of becoming him.

I secretly still believe my life would be better if I was thinner even though I know this is wrong.

I am not a secret keeper nor traitor.

I am a people pleaser; always trying to be liked by everyone and terrified that no-one does. I am over-sensitive and probably at times needy. I care too much what other people think of me.

Fuck that shit! No more. It’s exhausting.

Mayo,
I will still come here for you, those who I have discovered over the last few days really are friends and for me.

I’ve learnt a lot, Mayo; it seems you have helped with another ‘piece’. Thank you.

dei gratia said...

Hi everyone! You all okay?

anima said...

DG, that was lovely. Thank you for sharing. I can relate to a lot of that. :)

elena said...

Pixie - I'm trying to find some holiday spirit but so far nothing.

MissTottenham said...

Hi DG, I'm good. How about you?

Hi DG - Glad you're here

Alright computer is working now I have returned. (Return of the Blogger) Stupid once again but its Sunday. Hello to all (yes to all meaning everyone I'm not leaving anyone out of this hello).

Thanks Anima,Elena!
It means alot.

I'm good MissT, I apolgise again for the ice-cream. it has left a rather unsightly stain.

Ha DG! Your licking abilities are not up to scatch then.

Martha Smith-Jones said...

Miss t I have some e vodka (lays it down on a table) will this be enough Holiday spirit for you?

MissTottenham said...

Hello again MJ. I hope you are planning on sticking around this time ha!

Hey BC, how's the flu?

MissTottenham said...

Hi BC, how are you? Still snotty?

Pixie said...

hi bc, how are you? how´s the flu?

Smoke said...

DG,

Shoes are the best. Whenever I am sad, shoes are the answer. I buy shoes and then create an outfit around the shoes.

A great pair of shoes can make anyone feel better. ^_^

You and I have a lot in common, but I might have you beat on the procrastination bit. I HATE DOING SHIT THAT I KNOW I NEED TO BE DOING!!!! I actually choke on the words 'I'm sorry'.

I am working on that stuff though.

I'm trying, really, really hard.

farawaysoclose said...

hello everyone!
hi mayo.

not been around for a while thought i'd pop in and see how you guys are all doing??

huh did someone mentioned vodka? what kind of vodka? good finnish one? and never forget, it´s much better as the swedish vodka ;)

Martha Smith-Jones said...

Miss t can you tell I'm already Pissed. All those stupid Lord of the rings puns. And why would I have a bottle of e vodka with me. (falls down over herself and is now laying face down on the floor.) Merry Fucking Christmas

Pixie said...

hi faraway, how are you?

gnothi seauton said...

Good evening Mayo.
Good evening all.


We are collecting christmas boxes at school, grab a shoe box, fill it with any items, socks, soap, anything and it is sent to any child around the globe that needs it.
We also have World Vision catalogues at home where you can buy things like a goat for a family in a 3rd world country so that they can self provide. Great to give as a gift for someone who has everything.
They get a letter to explain where their gift has gone.

Hi there DG, MJ, Miss T, pixie, and everyone else.
DG, the flu is getting much better. Thanks for asking. How are you? Miss T, I still have some congestion, but I feel better, but in a couple of days I need to get everything cleaned up for Thanksgiving. Pixie, how are you doing today?

Martha Smith-Jones said...

Hi FASC,

I work with 5yr olds so if you need any help.....?

dei gratia said...

S&V20, you are so right.

Pick the shoe and let the outfit follow. A girl after my own heart.
The healing power of the shoe is under-estimated!

I hate that when I finally do the thing I'm avoiding I feel the joy of relief, yet I repeat the whole scenario again and again and develop deep resentment towards what I've got to do in the process. Ahhhhhh!

Good for you pixie. Try to think positive :)
Hi there sd10, faraway. How are you guys doing?
I see that Martha is a bit tipsy today he he I'm doing okay, not fully recovered from the flu though but I'm getting better.

Hello All!


Hello MAYO!

Did you MISS ME?

MissTottenham said...

I'm good BC. I hope you get rid of your flu soon. You must have used a truckload of snotrags9 lovely name for tissues).

DG, I don't do shoes but I have a good collection of trainers.

sdock10 said...

I just have one question....

I am faithful Liu?

Is Kapunua going to kill me?

awwwwhhh

gnothi seauton said...

FASC,

Only a lowly T.A I'm afraid ( although I do teach, part of our 20 NEW undertakings )

And I'm in year 1.

MissTottenham said...

Ok people, here I am:


I am friendly, I get along with everyone but I am naive and too trusting.

People often feel protective over me but I feel awkward doing the loving huggy thing with others.

I have intimacy issues. Not with friends and family but with others.Ok, I lie, with friends and family too. How can I tell people how I feel when I'm not so sure myself.

I have never been in love, not sure what love is. I can't imagine anyone wanting me.

I have always felt the ugliest and fattest in any group of people. When people compliment me, I don't believe they mean it.

I feel I am dull and boring and have nothing interesting to say. I am never the leader of any group.

I hide behind jokes. most people wouldn't believe I am still taking medication for depression.

The things I really enjoy are all solitary persuits: Reading, learning etc.

I totally love Egypt and would have loved to have persued a career in this area, too late now I guess. It will have to stay as a hobby. I feel like I bore people with this hobby. At least my sister shares my passion.

I would be lost without my sister and mum. Since dad died, we cling to each other. I can't imagine leaving home, I can't imagine leaving mum alone.

I've had to deal with so much death these last five years, I feel that if I lose anyone else, I shall lose myself. Seriously, I'll have killed myself or ended up in the loony bin. Sometimes the thought of being a total loon really appeals to me.

I have no idea what I want to accomplish in life. This is so depressing. I have no direction, I feel I am drowning in nothingness.

I enjoy being here and talking with you people. I have probably told you more than I have to real face to face people.

Martha Smith-Jones said...

I hope my flu will be goon soon as well because Thanksgiving is on Thursday and I need to get a few things ready and I don't want to pass it to my family. I may be planning on drinking who knows? Although I prefer a Skyy Vodka because the wine they bring tastes like shit. Blah.
Ah I can't wait for Thursday. I enjoy family gatherings.

I have not lost faith. I still believe. I close my eyes and see you frolicking around in the meadows.

Martha Smith-Jones said...

So we are describing ourselves. You guys don't know how hard that is for me when people ask me to describe myself I must always ask my friends for help. Well here goes.

I'm a crybaby and lazy I would call my self average in intelligence but I have my moments. Both good and bad.

I have a temper but only with my family. I'm both good at looking at the bright side and the dark side.

I have trouble letting things go. I'm unsure of myself in all departments of my life.

I try to see the good in people, I try to make people feel better and I want everyone to like me. So I;m needed

I've just met up with RW, Star is hitting London in June, we've got room for 1 more!!

Pixie said...

sorry for being quiet the last minutes and hi to everyone who showed up. I wrote something about me too, took me a lil bit... well english is still not my motherlanguage... anyway:

I´m a good friend, the black sheep of the family, my dad´s little girl, an only child, a stranger in my homecountry and in the country I live.

I hated school, not the learning, but the people. I never fitted in...

I always felt ugly...

I can´t describe my eyecolour, it´s a mix between green-blue-grey

I was the shy kid, but silent waters are deep, I changed a lot.

I´m a sagittarius: liberal, honest, open-minded and I hate unfairness...

a new haircut or new colour cheers me up

I love music and I love it to sing, 24/7, everywhere. Poor people around me, I sound awful...

my mother says I always try to be perfect and always underestimate myself

I love dogs and miss my dog

I´m a good listener, friends come to me with their problems

I can be really stubborn and if I want something, then I want it immediately...

I hate it to be in pictures. I look awful in it

But I love taking pictures, I have thousands of pictures

I draw a lot just for myself, my dad gave me that talent

I love reading, I have so many books and I´m a fast reader if the book is good

I like snow, I can deal better with cold and snowy weather as with heat.

I love christmas, maybe because I was born in December.

I believe in love, also love at first sight

I hate fightings, I try to be friendly to everyone. But I can get really angry if I want/have to.

I have a black humor, it depends on my mood, but I can be full of irony and sarcasm

I learned to take care of myself, I got more self-assurence

I live in a shared flat and my flatmate drives me crazy sometimes... well finnish men ^^

I´m suspicious, I wasn´t always like that, but bad experiences made me that way.

I hate the feeling of loosing my nearest people...

If I want to I can wear a mask so that no one can see my true feelings. But if I want to let them see my true feelings, I´m easy to read.

I feel the same way. Maybe we have an easier time with our friends here because we can see their face so we don't feel that they are judging us.

Hello hello siobhan how are you?
Sd10, I'm doing okay, still a bit sick though.



About me:

I try my best to get along with everyone, but sometimes it is difficult to keep patience with some of them when they don't catch up to what I am doing. At this point, I unleash my temper on them, although sometimes I don't mean to.


When I get angry, I would say things to hurt those I care about, but when I am at that point, I don't give a shit who I hurt. This aspect of me makes me ashamed sometimes. This is not the trait that I am most proud of.


I can be rather selfish, but there are surprising times where I can be unselfish and think of others, rather than thinking about myself.


I have good traits that a lot of people don't know about.


What I do hate is that sometimes, because of my tough exterior, there are some people who think that I will kick their ass or something because I am usually so independent, but honestly I haven't been in a fight since elementary school. Fighting doesn't solve anything unless your life is in danger.


I have never been in love before in my life.



I have strong interest in taking up tae kwon do and playing guitar, although sometimes I feel too lazy to practice the latter.

Sometimes I hate my family and sometimes I love them.


Me being an Aries, I don't like to express any weakness because some part of me feels that expressing emotions makes you appear weak.

I am not sure what I want to do with my life, although I am planning on going back to school to possibly major in business and criminal justice or law. I want to have my own business someday or be in an occupation where I can express my creativity.


I love going to the bookstore and going to the museums. So much to learn.


I watch too much HGTV but I love getting ideas from there. I also watch the news and read the newspaper to keep up with current events.


I don't like people who try to pretend to be someone they are not. Just be yourself and live up to your own expectations, not everyone else's.


One of my worst/best traits happens to be stubborness. Be aware of that. I am a stubborn motherfucker. Some of those unmarked graves got a taste of it firsthand ^_^


Many times I don't like to receive any help from others because I feel
as if I can handle situations by myself. I suppose that is not a great way of doing things most of the time.

oh so we are describing ourselves!!
oh shit do i even want to go there!

i'm insecure, shy (but loud, always bad)!i hate confrontation, i hate falling out with people, i worry about everything, i'm sensitive, emotional, i pretty much have no self worth, i can find so much fault with myself, i am funny and rude just to mask all my insecurities probably, i laugh so much but it isn't often for real, i'm always nice to people and have always had lots of friends because i am no threat to any of them, but i only have one true best friend and i love her so much. i live in my head, always have always will, its better that way. i love my kids, they are my reason for everything, but if they weren't here i would probably be off to find another way.

the hardest part is finding something positive to say about yourself. The bad comes oh so easy.


Too bloody true.



See you later GS.

Martha Smith-Jones said...

Later GS. Miss t and Pixie this place is like that it has brought all these people together who have the oddest things in common.

You know what the best thing about E vokda is you don't have a hang over

elena said...

Why are we describing ourselves?
Ok I'll just go with it..

I'm short(just over 5ft)
Until a year ago I was very heavy. I've lost over 100 lbs but when I look in the mirror (which I always try to avoid I still see the heavy me)even though those around me say I'm thin
I have a problem with food I see it as the enemy.
I have very long black hair with blond streaks in the front and right now I also have red tips.
I'm unsure of my place in life now that my daughters are growing up.
I love music
For the first time in my life I can buy clothes that I like because they fit but this fact upsets my daughters cause they think I don't look like their mom anymore.
I try always to put myself in other shoes before I judge them
I look younger then my age and always have
I have a weird sense of humor
I love to write
I hate prejudice of any kind I believe in live and let live
I'm a loner now because that was how it had to be growing up the only child of very very over protective parents
I still am trying to find ME but I'm not sure I ever will.

Pixie said...

miss t, that´s definetely spooky *laugh*

Siobhan, it's amazing what answers can be found here. It sometimes seems like this is the map.

MissTottenham said...

MJ, I've never had a hangover anyway. Just lucky I guess.









Does anybody else feel like this has become a therapeutic support group?

Can I be the leader? I've never been the leader.

Can I look over the top of my glasses( I don't actuaaly need glasses ha!), put the tips of my fingers together, lean forward and say


"but how does that make you feel?" ha!




Or we could take it in turns:

Hello, my name is caroline and I am an pizzaoholic.

ergoproxy said...

Morning everyone
I am tired, up late with our visiting friend last night ( I am not a night owl).
Plus there are now 3 peahens (female peacocks ) in our yard !!
And they are very noisy birds.
Plus I have a busy day.
I am flying to our capital for 10 days tomorrow night to see Muse and MCR.
I'll be on dial up too so I won't be able to blog much.
And I haven't even thought about packing yet.

apart from that I'm really good, and I haven't looked to see who's here so..
HI EVERYONE!!!

Anonymous said...

Take care DG. Enjoy your day.
Miss T, you know that I worship the awesomeness of pizza. I agree, I really hate what is going on in the world as well.
Never been bullied either, but no one ever tried to. My sis and brother were though, and so, I had to protect them of course.
I was in the local newspaper once in 5th grade and in the news in high school. That's something a lot of people don't know about.
Sometimes I like animals more than people because animals don't judge you.
I was raised Catholic, but I don't practice it anymore, although I do believe that there is Good and Evil, no matter if it if God, Goddess, or whomever else.
Horror movies are great, but nowadays they are boring.
I wanted to see the new Resident Evil and 30 days of night movie but I will wait for DVD

Hello hello Ergo. How are you?

Anonymous said...

Since others are describing themselves, I guess now would be a good time to introduce myself. I have been with you almost since the beginning of this blog.

I am 39 yrs. old, Long blond hair, pale skin and hazel eyes.

Mother to an awesome 10 yr old daughter, who has a crush on a certain blond drummer.


I am a Hairstylist/armchair psychologist/keeper of secrets.

I love humanity, but often hate people. Everyday I am amazed by the narrow-minded, racist, homophobic people I am surrounded by. As I stand there cutting their hair, listening to them, I just want to scream FUCK YOU!!!, but I just smile and go on with my job.

I feel like a coward for not standing up for my beliefs.

people seem to like me, but I tend not to believe them.

I am lazy when it comes to housework, but I give 100% at work.

I don't want people to know the real me. There is a lot of darkness in me.

I don't want to grow up. I feel very immature sometimes.

I am scared to ever get married again.

On the outside people see an independant, well-educated, devoted single-mom, but on the inside I feel inadequate in all areas.

I am somewhat good at translating Latin.

I want to say thank you to Mayo, SS and all you lovely ladies here. I probably won't comment much because I like to observe more than I like to partake.

farawaysoclose said...

cheers siobhan, not spoke to you before.
ergo have the best time!!
gotta go for def now!

sdock10 said...

If I miss anyone, sorry.
