even if no one gets me, if i'm the only one laughing at my jokes, i won't hide myself away from life. it's uncertain and it's dirty and it's fucking exciting, and i want to be a part of all of it.
it's too good to waste in hiding.

heart full
Today on my way home from class, I stopped off at the petrol station for some petrol. I paid on my card which wasn’t a lot, and then as I was getting into my car, I saw an old man walking past the building. He had a red and green stripy jumper which was frayed at the ends. He was also wearing some jeans that were dirty and had holes all over.
I sat there and became intrigued by him because I didn’t know what he was doing, so as I sat there and watched him, he continued doing what he set out to do.
He walked past the trash cans and first picked out a cup with some drink still in it (one of the cups that you get from burger king that has coke in it). He then walked over to the next trash can and pulled out the end of a half eaten sandwich. In my shock horror, he ate it and then went to sit on the wall to drink the drink he had found.
I felt sad, I wanted to give him my last $4 that I had but I was told when I was younger that you should never give people money, you should give them something they need or can use because that way, if they had an addiction, they would not be able to use the money for their addiction. So I went into the shop and bought a chicken sandwich from their deli counter and then walked out of the building.
The guy was still sat at the wall drinking his drink so I walked up to him and asked him if he would like this sandwich. He thanked me and said that he was hungry.
I should of felt good after that, doing something for someone else but all I could think of is where his next meal will come from or where in fact he will sleep tonight.

Jennicula,
Thank you for sharing your story. Although it only appeared briefly, I was lucky enough to have caught it.
Once upon a time, for me, that was the best part of this place...having my words related back to me from another's perspective.
And it never mattered to me who said it, just that it meant something to the writer.

Don't let anyone tell you how to live your life. Hold your head up high and be proud of who you are. If you've had a shitty day and you feel like people just don't want you to be happy, and when you find yourself struggling to make it through the day, just keep on believing and keep the faith. Also, from personal experience, don't push people away. When they say they want to help and that they are there for you, let them in. Believe me, I know how fucking scary that thought is, but don't shut others out.

Sometimes, when you look back on stuff in your life, you know, the crap that makes you shake your head and say, "Holy shit, what the Hell was I thinking?" it's part of what makes you - you.
I'm not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. I have made small mistakes and really big, fucking scary mistakes. Would I change those mistakes and blunders?
No. Wanna know why?
Because they make me - me. They help make up the person that I am, what I've learned the hard way. Hopefully I've learned from my mistakes and have become a better person for it. And, hopefully I don't repeat those same mistakes. Although, sometimes I repeat variations of certain ones, but I'm working on that. :)

aloft
Blazing against the sun
like locusts,
samaras swarm the sky
and skitter to an earthly end,
dry
like clever words.
I want to make them fly up,
flip heaven upside down
and dance across the top of hell
and sing your thoughts
to the sound of thunder
that you love so well,
rip open the littered sky
and bathe in the light
or draw across the firmament
the blanket of the night.
In only a day they have
covered the ground,
their brief flight
yielding nothing permanent
on infertile land,
a fleeting moment of swarming glory
that calls to mind our own
short story:
Diamonds and petals,
the loom and the light,
the inkdark moon, foxfire marsh,
an open, waiting hand.
Clever winged seeds
of childhood reminiscent--
and like the idiot grown-up heart,
as stubbornly indehiscent.

Electric Blue
…today I saw a ulysses butterfly it was in our yard and settled to feed on our hibiscus. They really are fantastically beautiful things, the electric blue is amazing, however as they sit with their wings closed they are rather nondescript and dull. Sometimes people are like that, from the outside they seem unappealing but within there hides an amazing beauty for those lucky enough to see it. I hope you appreciate beauty in all things, and look for it perhaps where others miss it.

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL.
I read your post again and suddenly without warning memories of construction paper filled my head. I remembered all the lop-sided flowers my girls made when they were young. Bright blue, yellow and pink flowers that were cut out with blunt end scissors would fill the windows to decorate for Easter. An occasional bunny was attempted but those usually ended up looking like creatures from a horror movie. Flowers were so much easier. I can close my eyes and hear the paper being cut into petals. I can smell the Elmer’s glue squirted on in huge blobs to attach each misshapen petal to form the flowers. We had a huge arts and crafts box full of wonderful items just waiting for their imaginations to turn into something wonderful. In my mind I see my daughters, as they once were, small, blond little girls sitting on the floor surrounded by scraps of paper and other art supplies. They would create their masterpieces then proudly show each other. Oh and Lord the messes that would ensue if the glitter made an appearance. Now, the box is forgotten. I’m not really sure where it even is anymore. The few flowers so lovingly created that survived are faded and dusty and high on a shelf they sit. Time marches on, so many things get left behind.
Today was the first Easter I spent alone. I don’t think it really upset me until I remembered the construction paper flowers. Of course I understand that my daughters are growing up and have lives of their own. But understanding doesn’t make it any easier to accept. I miss my little girls in their frilly Easter dresses. I miss the laughter that filled the house when they found what the Easter Bunny left for them. And I miss making the damn flowers.

I wonder if you noticed
all our friends playing
Some had never tried before
and the result was amazing.
Poems from the corner

We did our best to keep them flowing
Late into this night.
If nothing else was accomplished
I hope we made someone see
How truly beautiful and amazing

«Oldest ‹Older 2201 – 2400 of 2664 Newer› Newest»Hey everybody been away for awhile. How are things? :)
And anon i personally would like to know if you know but it should be a group decision by all the lovely people here at the blog if you want to divulge. It wont stop any of us caring i dont think. we will all still be here
*whispers*
Good thanks,GS!
Dg I'm well still no computer.
Anon do you have proof. I ask that because with no proof there will be no damage. you can say that you know who mayo is and reveal it but in the end people will still believe what they want. In some cases even if you have proof it may not be believed
* whispers *
Hello to Anima,Elena, KD, SIM, K, BC,Jade, Sis M,Pixie and anybody else I've missed.
Hello Anon as well :)
Anon, we are all big enough and ugly enough to look out for ourselves.
Don't think you need to spill the beans if you think we are being used.
^Good point, MJ. "Proof" is as subjective as any "reality."
Hi, GS!
Kd and gs I'm well.
ANON I didn't mean my last comment in a disrespectful way. I'm just saying even if we get the truth people will still believe what they want to believe. So your reveal will do no damage. to us
*whispers, hi GS*
Anon, could you answer MissT or Kapunua's question? That would help a lot.
I'm going to go away and see if I can figure out a way of not fucking this up. Thanks for listening guys.
Thanks, Anima.
Yeah, anon, we're worried about both of our e-friends right about now and it would be less worrisome if you would say yes or no as to whether you are either of them. You know? That'd be a step in the right direction, if you want to do what's right.
Hello Sim and anima how are you?
Anon? That one question first please?
You are welcome anon but you do not need to leave.
K - belated well wishes to Trisky. Give her a hug from me.
Goodbye anon.Anytime, sweetie!
Take care, look after yourself.
Anon, you really can't leave without answering those questions. Please. Otherwise you are leaving us really hung out to dry. Don't do that to us.
Thank you so much, GS. ^_^ Every good thought means the world.
Anon,
I hope you get everything worked out. We'll be here.
Anon,
You can just stay and chat you know. No one is pressuring into a deep reveal. It's always nice to have some new blood to talk to :)
Hi gs how are you?
Mayo is probably some teenage girl in california haha thats my guess. doesnt mean we would care about them any less right guys?
Hey GS I'm not whispering cause this is just more drama. If ANON is Mayo well then dude tell if you want, don't tell if you don't wanna. Simple as that. If you're someone else and you have proof I'm not sure why you think you need to tell. I'm guessing you think we're being strung along as a joke. Well that wouldn't be the first time for me. Once again I'll just state that I'm here cause of the people here. Not who Mayo may or may not be. Hell maybe Mayo is someone who thinks this is all just a laugh. However this little house has gained quite a bit of attention. Attention that no matter how has the possibility of getting GW's attention. That's what a lot of us want. We want him to hear what we are thinking cause we like the dude and don't want to see him fall.
I've gotta go guys, on an early tomorrow.
Bye all.
Have a good night!
Love and best wishes to Trisky....get well soon!!!
Right now, for me, Mayo is just Mayo.
No, mayo is an overweight computer geek with tons of pimples on his face. He is right now playing WOW and eating a hot pocket
*High fives Elena*
I agree 100% Elena.
Very true.
Gerard Way does not need to fail. I don't want him to, either.
You are very welcome anon.
Anon @6:19,
I found a name possibly connected to this blog maybe now five days ago. It hasn't made any difference to me (much).
It doesn't really matter who Mayo is, he started something with this blog and got more than he expected back with an interesting group of bloggers. But Mayo has had to watch his blog thrive as a host only.
I'd like to think Mayo could become part of the reality he has created and the masterpiece it has become.
I believe the community will continue to discuss the same topics and share their friendships.The interesting anons and lurkers will still drop on in.
I do worry that some will disappear off the radar for a while but will be drawn back to some of the personalities, friendships, shared concerns,humour, and care for each other here.
But, it will all be at Mayo's goodwill if it continues here in it's present form.
I have a contact on my profile anon if you want to say anything.

I promise that is not my intention but I cannot answer your questions until I have made a decision. Please understand, I'm not trying to be an asshole about this, I just want to do the right thing - whatever that is...
Elena, that was a really awesome comment. Thank you.
Goodnight DG and hello S&V20. I can see it now a jar of mayo with little arms and legs and a face sitting at the computer. Or a huge spoonful of mayo with a face and arms and legs just sitting there.
Goodnight DG, sweet dreams.
See you tomorrow.
That's it, MJ!!!
Anon, thank you for your reply. I think I can be okay with that. :)
Hello Pp how are you?
Elena you said what I was think but way better.

Basically you're saying you are either Mayo or SS. Because if you're not, then there would be no harm in telling us you weren't.
I think Mayo is Ingmar Bergman's script writing grandson who lives in a lake side house in Azerbijian and will turn this into a film about existentionalism and social inter-dependencies.
Maybe :)
I'm going to disagree with you Kapu on this anon being Mayo or SS. Because I think that they Mayo and ss would use their blogs to tell us. Shit for all we know that grid picture could be a picture of mayo himself. I think this is someone who just found out a little bit of info.
Thanks guys. Every once in a while I actually write a comment that comes out in print like it sounds in my head.
Bottom line is no one can make fools of us cause we're here with our eyes open. We're here to do just what we're doing. We visit, we laugh and cry together. So what if GW is something we have in common? This place is good for us and if by some small miracle it's good for him, then yea for us.
You're not disagreeing with me, MJ, that's what I think, too. Neither SS nor Mayo would not leave us hanging like that.
So what would be so difficult in saying "I'm not either one of your friends"?
kapunua if any one will get to the bottom of this it will be you haha you will outsmart anyone :)
Well we all know that SS is the Easter bunny because of all the Easter eggs he leaves us. So mayo is a super hero Mayoman
loveman is on AIM, if anyone wants to ask her/him any questions.
Anon - I don't envy you at all. But you really have only two choices to make, don't you?
#1) You spill the beans, possibly without the blog owners permission. If you're in their inner circle, things could really go to hell in a handbasket for you.
2) You don't spill the beans, and keep wondering if you've made the right decision. It eats away at you until you can't sleep at night, for all the voices whispering at you.
I think you'll find that our family here is more resilient than you give us credit for. Smarter, as well. We're all aware that this blog could belong to anyone from The Pope to the acne-prone large boy who started it as a means of negating loneliness. The only way that it's wrong (on any level) is if the blog owner actually comes right out and *tells* us that they're someone they're not. Other than that, I don't see anything really changing.
Hi, Love Man's friend. Whaddup, homeslice?
Elena you just keep hit the right notes. Good to know Kapu. Loveman is that person still around.?
There is a Smart Cookie among you.
Loveman has gone
hello everyone.
just caught up! it's belated probably, but i'm going to put in my two cents.
anon who needs to make a decision:
i don't know if you're still around to read this, but i want to say to you -- if what you know will influence the course of this blog, then please, please, think carefully, take your time to make your choice. some things cannot be undone, and this blog is very important, for so many different reasons.
and i offer myself for contact, too, if by chance you want to talk. my email is on my profile.
am i the smart cookie with my guess?
am i the smart cookie with my guess?
Hi all.
Nicely said, elena.
It's a strong group with common bonds and interests.
Of course she has. I'm going through some old chat logs at the mo. Return later. ^_^
Anon @ 7:34, there are a *lot* of smart cookies here. ;)
In case you hadn't noticed.
if so email is on my profile and all that jazz :)
The rumors of my intelligence are highly exaggerated. I'm just as in the dark as the rest of you.
It's just that some things add up and others don't.
Smart cookie would be Kapunua at 2:04 and 7:31, right anon?
7:21 and 7:31.
And I am not Mayo or SS either. Nor your other anon.
Same lurker from earlier who likes you all..... and doesn't like to see what you all have to put up with.....
Why did the anon type smart cookie with capital letters?
Thankyou for clearing that up anon.
Are you the anon from 1.35pm?
Aww, you talk purdy!!
We like you :)
Okay, Anon; Smart Cookie = Kapunua. We get that part. But what are we "putting up with"???
Have I come home to some drama? And it's only Monday 0_0
Sister m i believe that would be Mayo's behavior
No, you guys put up with nonsense from outside parties.
Those that should let you be.
Those who start drama.
Mayo, this would be a good time to visit. Want to? I think you do. ;)
LoveMan? lmao what the hell?
Why on earth was that randomly brought up?
I just got a good chuckle.
Anon you're still here?
I think it's obvious someone was just trying to start drama *sigh*
*coughlovemancough*
i have a feeling that isnt the case other anon. SOmeone in the world must know who mayo is im open to someone knowing that information.
No, you guys put up with nonsense from outside parties.
Keeps us on our toes, gets the blood pumping :D
Oh well I was wrong. We do put up with some shit but it is To be expected. We our voicing our opinions and they are ones that are not liked. I am willing to put up with that shit in order to have what I have here. The freedom to express myself and friend.
Gosh if it's Mayo's behavior the ANON is worried about us putting up with that's so not a problem. I put up with the behavior of 3 teen daughters everyday. I can take it.
It's obvious Mayo wants us here for some reason. Maybe just to entertain him. I don't know, don't care. He entertains me too.
Hi RW by the way :)
Thanks for my pressie!
Thanks, Anon. But we always have, and we always will.
Until it's proven to them once and for all that this is not G-Way's blog, they'll just keep comin' here.
Nature of the beast, and all that.
But thank you for caring -- you should join in!
((Back later, guys! I R FREEEEEEZIN'!!! ::brrrrrr:: ))
Hi GS :) You're most welcome!
Anon @ 8:08 I had that feeling in the back of my mind. But I'm trying to be open. I can let those bad apples ruin everything for me
Amen to that mj.
Hi everyone.
Anonymous at 6.34 pm,
Your situation sounds delicate at best. Not knowing what the issue is I can't really give you any solid advice. I would like to give it a shot, though.
Whatever's going on, it's always good to look at the possible consequences of your actions. Does leaving mean that someone will benefit from it? Will anyone be happier? Will anyone lose their life? Will opportunities be missed?
I don't know if you are the person who hears me, who tells me I'm not in this alone. If you are, then I would like to hear from you. If you aren't, I still hope you can work out your problems.
But, if you are that one person, this will mean everything to you:
"Its all about the love."
J
Thank you I will be back in 15
Mayo, this would be a good time to visit. Want to? I think you do. ;)
I think you should.
Anon,
You're a sweetheart with your concern for the people here and your annoyance with the stirrers.
I guess the stirrers get some sort of perverted pleasure out of it, but as long as innocent parties aren't getting reputations hurt...
Hey, we can be a bit perverted at times too!
*gives a hug to anon*
Later all.
supere/M?
Heya FS :)
hello fimble!!!! how are you sweetest? Hope you are well :)
I'm off I'm afraid.
* nothing personal RW :D *
Please wish J a Jappy Birthday for me if she comes on, I hope she's had a good one.
Anon - stay and hang, good buddy.
Present- you made my day :)
Good night Mayo.
Good night All.

Hi there fimble how are you?
Thanks GS! :)
Anonymous, I may have overextended my pleasantries.
If you're the good guy, my words stand.
If you're a vulture, then wait a minute while I get the broom.

Hi FS.
Goodnight GS.
Hey guys, what's up? Besides trying to figure out who all these anons are.
J
Hey J,
Happy Birthday, girly!
Not too much going on here, except that the wind is like 50 MPH. BRRRR WHOOOSH!
ANON, who's worried about us putting up with crap from the "dark side", don't. We are a tough bunch with strong beliefs.
I myself am finally getting to a point in my life where I'm learing to follow my heart and not the voices of others.
I chose to be here and the voices of others who try to tear me down just don't get through to me.
"Shun shun the non-believers".
Sorry don't know how that unicorn got in here.
Hey J
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
That's right, Elena!
Shun the nonbelievers. Shuuuuun!
"We're going to Candy Mountain, Charlie!"
BTW, how are you, Elena?
Hi there OP. Happy birthday J!

Hey Martha,

L.
Hi Star and BC.
I'm pretty damn good today, thanks for asking.
Don't know why I'm in a good mood. I've got a mountain of work I should be doing right now. Oh well to quote one of my all-time favorite characters "Tomorrow is another day."
Me too, Elena!
I've been bummed out lately, but I'm in a good mood tonight.
Whatever you need to do can be done tomorrow!
Hello tj how are you? Ops I'm well. Just tell j not to get any of the litter in her eye. If you watch pushing Daisies you know what could happen.
We need a topic to discuss any ideas
Martha,
I've never seen the show, but I know of it.
So what happens if you get litter in the eye?
L.
hey martha, i'm hanging in there. how's it going in your part of the world?
OP, you are welcome. How are you star? Hi there squeak squeak.
You get an infection and lose an eye or go blind in it. It happened to one of Chucks aunts
Well crap.
The concert tonight got postponed because of the snowstorms ALL AROUND CALGARY.
We haven't been hit yet, but no Anti-Flag for me!
What are my girlies doing?
-A
I just realized I never said HI to everyone. Hi mj, BDS13, toujours, and anybody I missed.

OP L - That reminds me, I need to clean the litterbox.

Name something you've done or experienced that you think perhaps no one else here has. But maybe someone will surprise you and tell you they've done or experienced the same thing.
Who wants to start?
Martha,
J. wouldn't need anything else to happen to her eyes, she's had enough done already! :)
You know the goo in your eye that keeps them round, the vitreous? She doesn't have that in either eye. They sucked it all out and replaced it with saline.
She also has an acrylic lens and a glaucoma implant in one eye. She's had six eye surgerys in all.
But to look at her, you would never know it.
L.
sTAR - Huge. Still.
I can't find all of my decorations!
-A
Kapu - I will!
Being shunned by an entire school, for 2 different years because you told them that drinking and drugs were things that only deadbeats did.

Glad to help, Amyranth! ^_~ How are you?
We have been writing everyone's names down and trying to think of appropriate gifts for the tree on LH's page. That was a nice idea.
Love ya,
L.

Wore a marching band hat on the London Underground.
:P
hey there star, hey bc. ^.^
well, kapunua -- i chewed on a spider once, throughout dinner and into the evening. does that count?
(oh, it was a daddy long-legs, apparently.)
OP L - Dealing with a cold night by listening to Aqua. Weird huh?
I keep giving gifts as I remember the people, so mine always arrive in batches.
Also, I was thinking. IF Mayo would just come out and post that he is NOT GW, we'd have a lot less problems around here.
Just Sayin'
-A
Amyranth, that was brave of you, and admirable. It takes a strong will to go against the grain and stand up for what you believe in.
RW, true. I saw lots of strange things on the tube while I was there, but not a marching hat...
Love ya,
L.
TJ - I once had an ant crawl into my nose and I didn't even know it was there until later when I blew my nose and the ant came out.
Why is it always the gross things with me?
-A
OP L - The sad thing was, that was in Elementary School, and I was harassed about it almost to high school.
Elementary school kids are doing drugs and drinking by the way.

Hey Everyone!
I've not done anything super out of the ordinary.
Bummer, I know.
Oh my god L well I don't know what to say. Amy sorry to hear that.
Alright on two different occasion I have people who wanted to beat the shit out of me at school. The first time it was one person the funny thing is I was friends with her friends. Than it happened again where I befriended this girl only to have a group of her friends want to kick my ass
Why is it always the gross things with me?
amyranth, i don't know, you'll have to take that up with your personal deity. but yeah, an ant hitching a ride in your nose is um...unusual?
;)
MJ - Me too. Did you grow up on the East Coast by any chance?
-A
I was a church administrator for 6 years.
well, kapunua -- i chewed on a spider once, throughout dinner and into the evening. does that count?

When I was about 15 I came across a fully grown panther on an embankment about 1/2 a mile from the nearest house.
My Dad had already told me what to do, so I turned and walked slowly to my cousin's house. I didn't look behind me, so I don't know if it followed for any of the time.
My Dad walked 2 miles once with a panther walking about 15 behind him nearly the entire way.
L.
In jr high I had a friend who was eating grape nuts I was eating them to and talking about how they tasted like shit when one bounced off my front tooth and went up my nose
And J. said see the eye story for hers. :)
L.
TJ - I fell asleep on the front lawn on a summer day. Probably more my fault than the ant's.
-A
L,
Where did you grow up?!

lol sorry resurrected wreck! would it help to know i was just a kid at the time?
My Dad walked 2 miles once with a panther walking about 15 behind him nearly the entire way.
wow. that's shivery.
OP L - Where the HECK do you live? South Africa?
-A
Amy west coast. is park with my friends and we decide to go for a hike. While we were hiking we kept hearing something moving in the brush. We didn't think anything of it because there are lots of stray cats there. So the next night I'm watching the news and they said that there was a warning about mountain lions being spotted in that park.
My Dad walked 2 miles once with a panther walking about 15 behind him nearly the entire way.
An internet acquaintence in the carolinas (can't remember if it's North or South) swears a blue streak that there is a panther living in the woods near her home. Are there panthers in the southern USA??
Star,
A very small place called Del Rio, on the border of Tennessee and North Carolina. It's part of the Great Smoky Mountains, so we had panthers, bears, foxes, wolves, etc. that would wander into the yard, or the road.
Seems no one told them their area had been zoned for humans. :)
Other kids get told "stay off the road," "don't get kidnapped on the playground". I get, "now, if you see a panther..."
L.
lol sorry resurrected wreck! would it help to know i was just a kid at the time?
Well, maybe - did you do it on purpose??
Grade 12 prom, I was wearing this gorgeous white strapless dress, and we were all taking pictures by the bench setup by the door. I turned around to address a friend, and right at that exact moment, when I was facing every teacher I'd ever had in a 3 year period, somebody stepped on the hem of my dress and pulled it down to my waist.
Did I mention that I wasn't wearing a bra?
-A
I won a contest and got to got to go on a ski trip with the band "Kansas". I got to go to dinner with them, a sleigh ride and a party. It was fun but weird.
Probably more my fault than the ant's.
ant p.o.v.: ah, this looks like a nice place to get out of the sun. i'll just rest a while before returning to my ant brethren.
*lurch*
*rise*
wtf?!
now i just feel sorry for the ant, you ant-napper. ^.^
RW,
YEP.
L.
RW,
I saw a lot of alligators when I went on vacation in Hilton Head, SC, but never panthers.
TJ - Probably wanted a cool place to rest, but couldn't understand the frequent dry winds inside.
-A
Oh, Amy, not good!
Elena, that's pretty cool. Unusual to say the least...
L.
Elena,
Were they cool guys?
Well, maybe - did you do it on purpose??
um....
maybe?
amyranth, have you ever read the comic book "strangers in paradise"?
elena, that sounds really cool, though! :)
Toujours,
Did you WANT to chew on the spider?
L.
TJ - I've always wanted to, but I never seem to remember when I get to the comic book store.
-A
Well, maybe - did you do it on purpose??
um....
maybe?

My Mum and Dad still live in the same place, it's about a 2 1/2 hour drive from here.
They dealt with a black bear just this summer. It did some damage to a tool shed. You learn to live with the wildlife, they are just part of it. :)
L.
I once chased my sister with an ax.

imagines an ant hanging all for dear life with all legs.
Note to self..."Don't piss off RW while she is carrying sharp tools..."
L.
My sister hit me over the head with a fire poker.
Shower time- brb!
Did you WANT to chew on the spider?
considering the fact that i managed to keep it in my mouth all through dinner, i'd say yes, i probably did. *poor spider*
amyranth, i asked because that scene you described with your dress is very similar to what happens to the main character back in high school. except a toga, onstage, full high school auditorium.
I once chased my sister with an ax.
i'm sure by the time i post this comment, others will have already done so, but i must ask: wha...? more please!
K, Star :)
Star,
Did you like Hilton Head? I've been a couple of times and loved it!
L.
I got nothing interesting to say except that my pants were falling down while I was at the pit at PR and that I was trying to pull them back up. Lame? Yes :)
Where did everyone go?
I once chased my sister with an ax.
i'm sure by the time i post this comment, others will have already done so, but i must ask: wha...? more please!
It happened when we were kids. We were outside playing in the snow, and my sister made a snowball with a rock in it & threw it at me. it hit me in the face. i was so mad & bent on retaliation, i grabbed the nearest object - the ax off my dad's workbench - and proceeded to chase her around the yard.
I could have caught her at any time, but didn't. i didn't want to hurt her, I just wanted to hear her scream. And did she ever!
It was very satisfying.
Note to self..."Don't piss off RW while she is carrying sharp tools..."
"cause she's a crazy pink-haired, marching band hat-wearing psycho!!
:P
Hahaha RW revenge is great.
My computer is a bitch.
That is all.
ok, well, a rock in a snowball is always grounds for axe-swinging in my book. i applaud you! :)
i remembered another one:
i was once almost run over by prince andrew.
so is my computer. Hi cupcake how are you
Start talking Tj.
Ergo, wherever you are, that quote was me! XD
hi there cupcake, ol' delicious one how are you? :)
Hey, cupcake. How goes it?
New movie in time for the Christmas season:
"Revenge of RW-Axe the Halls"
L.
AIM: KAPUNUA
Hi MJ! I'm goodly!
Refreshed, rejuvenated.
How are you? what's been happening?
lol, yes ma'am, martha!
it was when i was studying in england, and i was up in the lake district. i was wandering through the little town there, and stepped out into the narrow street, just as a black towncar came around the corner! all i saw were the flags attached to the front of the car as i jumped back out of the way.
then a local told me who was in the car.
*eep*
K, or anyone who can help,
How do you set up AIM?
L.
RW - I once chased a guy from my junior high school around my yard with a knife.
TJ - Oh I did the toga thing once too. It didn't fall off, BUT, it wasn't for lack of trying.
I wonder if the greeks felt it better to run around nude?
-A
Star - The members of Kansas were pretty cool.
I had a great time but I don't ski so that part was kinda strange. I spent a lot of time falling.
Hi other lovelies who said hi!
My computer is being so slow, forgive me if I'm three comments behind.
Hey cupcake...
How's your world?
Tj i have nothing to say about that.
Ops I have no idea
ok, well, a rock in a snowball is always grounds for axe-swinging in my book. i applaud you! :)
Thank you, TJ! She never did it again.

HAY CUPPY!
How was the show?

RW - I once chased a guy from my junior high school around my yard with a knife.
OOOO! What did he do to you to deserve that??
Hi Elena, My world is pretty good.
I'm dawdling at the crossroads, but not for long.
Twas great amy! I've had a wonderful holiday.
How are you? what's been going on?
Oh crossroads....
Which was to turn
Always a big decision
L.; you have to first download AIM, which I'm sure you have? Then you go to aim.com and you set up a screen name and a password. When you start AIM on your computer, you just fill in your name and password and voila.
Would love to chat with you right now.
Leaving for now guys, getting late. Talk to you later, and have a good night!
Love ya,
L. and J.
yuppers, big decisions elena, but it'll all be for the best.
hey there cupcake. ^.^
sorry i didn't say hello before -- i get caught up in the convo's and i forget to put my "hey! hi!" onto the keyboard. *oops*
Goodnight J&l have sweet dreams
Bye bye OP's, sorry I missed you!
Hehe that's ok TJ *hugs*
Night OP's
Cupcake - not being nosey just wondering about the crossroads. Are your choices all good ones?
RW - We were prank calling him, pretending to the be the Spice Girls (sugar and 15 year olds don't mix) and he got so annoyed that him and another one of his friends came to the house and started pounding on the doors. So I shut off all the lights to spook them into thinking that we'd left the house, and they fell for it.
Came in the unlocked front door, went around the living room, back out onto the porch where all us girls were, and I well... started chasing them around the yard.
Then we all went to the play ground and played on the swings until 2am.
-A
I like it, Amyranth!
