I am sitting at a table with friends, it is dark and loud. I am bored. I am absently searching for something affecting to distract me, when I spot myself sitting across the room. I am at a table with some friends…and I am staring right back at myself. I am unable to look away. The gaze between us has me transfixed. Then he, the other me, shuns me with a smirk and joins the conversation at his table. He is speaking, and his hands are gesturing along with his alluring tale. His friends are captivated by the unconstrained other me. I envy his ease. Now I am alone at my table and I am singing to the other me. My song is pleading for him to hear, to once again find me, but he does not. And just as I am about to stop singing, you grab my hand and pull me up from my chair, and I wake up.
p.s. it is because the light reflected from painted glass is ambiguous. mirror me in your words, and that is where I find clarity. as do you, in each others.

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 2692 Newer› Newest»Of course you would GS, we're doing it right now.
For each other.
Elena, very nice!
Hello Sdock10! =]
*HUG*
I have to go now!
I'll be back later, promise!
*HUG* for all!
Hi PH, Hi Elena! Afternoon Luci!
MJ, whoah willie! S&M? I have to admit, that is freakin' hilarious.
Hmmmm, maybe I should change my name.
Mayo,
Would you rather I be S&M20? Huh? Would you like that? I bet you would. Well, guess what? You'll have to beg for it. How about that shit?
Yeah, I guess it could fit, MJ.
^_~
Smoke,
Slowdance on the Inside??
Was that the song you asked me about?
Sorry Mayo, got carried away there.
Sdock, Adam is too cool for words.
LOVE HIM! LOVE HIM! LOVE HIM!
S&V20 I hear Gerard had a whip with at the last concert. He said he would save it for later. Maybe a gift for you.
Yep, that's it.
Elena said...
Sister Midnight and L - I understand where you are coming from. Sometimes I feel hoarse from screaming. Nothing seems to make a damn difference. But the way I see it is this. I'm screaming trying to make a difference. Not just to Mayo but in screaming I'm keeping regret away. I'm never gonna have to feel I didn't try hard enough. I will know in my heart I tried my best. Believe me regret is a bitch to live with. IF Mayo is GW or not doesn't matter. This is the only place I have a chance to reach him. I'm giving this my best...it's all that I've got.
November 8, 2007 11:08 PM
Well said Elena.
Later PH
Ooohh, MJ. A whip, huh? Yeah, he needs a good ass whoopin'. And I would be more than happy to give it to him. :-)
Thanks...every once in a while my brain actually puts into words what's in my heart.
It's on this CD!!
k,
Where are you?
Adam is calling for YOU!!
Elena, that was perfect.
YAY! I likes that one.
What about the piano music on Maybe Memories? Did you listen to it? It's so preeettttyyy!
I LOVE YOU TOO BERT MCCOOKIES!
You guys are so right. It doesn't matter who these bloggers are. Do we need a name to go with the identity? I like it like this. If it were any other way, I don't think we could be as honest as we need to be. He's Mayo and I'm sdock10. My little sister is a Princess. See how cool this is. I don't need to see his picture or meet him to know him. It's about the feeling I get when I talk to him and to SS. I don't want it to change.
Elena,
I feel you as well. When you write, it speaks much louder than you even realize.
Don't forget that.
Bert McCracken is love.

you guys, with these words, you read my heart. i agree perfectly.
Yes he is GS, yes he is.
GS,
Would you like to inhale some Bert with me?
Smoke, Care to join?

I agree with Toujours, I definitely agree with everything you all said. Now, I am off for sure! *HUG*
I send my love to you all, and add a billion hugs on top of that!
Love;
-007
ph,
I love you! You're just the sweetest, cutest, most precious little thing I've ever met.
a trillion hugs right back to you
I would love to inhale Bert with you, the scrummy little bundle of energy!
Hey there Bert, come here , me and Sdock have a nice little corner in Mayo's blog for this kind of thing!
I totally agree with you Gnothi.
GS, I meant I totally agreed with this:

Hello everyone.
Night PH. You're like our own plushie toy! Just right for hugging!
Hello BC and star how are you guys?
Bert,
Come on over and SMOTHER ME and GS and Baroness Star and Princess Smoke...please.
It's a really nice corner. I promise.
stupid dial-up. I can't keep up with everyone leaving and arriving. So here is a group goodbye to all who just left and a group hello to all who just got here.
sdock that's for the kind words about what I wrote. If I could figure out a way to put my heart in charge of my fingers then I could always type what I feel. Hey, can I get a patent for that idea?
Oh, I most definitely would.
He is loveliness. Every bit of him. Yummo.
Ok, I'm off again. Hate to inhale and run off but oh well.
Oh well, oh well, oh well.
SS, I forgot you earlier. YOU GOTS TO COME BACK TOO!!! Not even Captain's orders. The Princess says so. King, you can't disappoint your princess.
Whatever happens, I have lots of love for you. Don't forget it.
Air kiss everyone!
S&V20
Hi BC,
Sorry Baroness, I thought you wanted to inhale Bert with us.
I thought about posting something constructive but now see very little point in it. My mood is much too erratic.
Instead, a simple hello to those who choose accept it.
Elena,
Marvelous idea, but I hear getting patents are a real bitch. Sister Midnite is still waiting in line and filling out paperwork for her NutBusters patent.
:)
Talk to you later S&v20.
Hi Elena :)
Bye S&V20.
HELLO Star! :) And thankyou.
SDock, Bert is my Homeboy!
Good evening AIP, long time no see.
Hello AIP!
Goodbye Lil Sis
Hello sd10, martha. How are you guys doing?
I am....doing pretty good. I feel great actually.
Good to see you as well, gnothi seauton.
'Ello, sdock10. Doing well?
(I "observe" several times daily but keep my opinions to myelf.)
Hi elena, BC, MJ, Sdock S&V20, anybody I missed.
Pasted, I was just reading a pome and felt like saying this. If that person is out thee I wanted to say hi.
Hello AIP how are you.
Yes, Sdock, I wanted to say I agreed with GS, but at the same time, I do want to inhale Bert, then make him french toast.
To all who asked how I was i am fine.
hello all new arrivals. ^.^
warning, this is pretty damn random, but i want to share:
today at work i had to shelve two books written by denise mayo.
yep. mayo.
i didn't notice the author's name until they were up on the shelf really, and then i almost rolled in the aisle with repressed giggling.
the moral?
mayo. is. everywhere.
Toujours, that is classic! How was work?
He's like a little street urchin that you want to take home and feed up with some lovely home made soup.
And then other things!
Hi there Star, AIP. How are you guys doing?
Yes, yes, GS. The food part is totally necessary.
thanks star! work was pretty normal, except that i went all stealth mode to use the computer when i should have been in the stacks.
that was fun. ^.^
Hey guys,how are you all doing?
You guys would't mind sharing Bert,would you?
I love that man,can't pass up on inhaling him.
You think that's weird. The radio was playing an up and coming new artist..... Chris Mayo!
BC, I'm good. You?
Evening, Martha.
Kind of you to give me something to read. ; )
I can't find any decent trouble anywhere and I need to vent. Where's an anonymous when you need one?
Toujours, I can imagine you creeping and looking around each aisle, making your way to the computer, all spy like.
You welcome Aip I hope you liked it.
Entropy, Bert has more than enough love to go round.
Evening all.
L says to say "hello" and "thank you" to those who have sent their goodwill messages. And she says she is glad you like the rose. I think it's lovely myself, and quite fitting.
As far as her coming back, she says that the best word to describe her mood is "disenchanted". She feels like nothing is doing any good; she asked SS twice last night if we were, and he never answered. (But, in all fairness, he didn't say anything to any of us, really.) She says if she knew for sure she helped, even in a small way, she would come back. As it is, considering Mayo's actions, for all she knows, her words have hurt, not helped.
L feels that SS has "bailed" on us. She thinks he's doing to us what he's accusing us of doing to him: kicking him out without a chance.
So, that's her stance, and she's staying with thet for now. She is still here is spirit (and in body, on the couch).
J.
AIP, I'm sure if you hang around long enough one will come out of the woodwork.
AIP
I'm doing ok. Thanks for asking.
How are you and anyone else I missed?
J,
I don't think anything L ever said hurt. It was more than obvious her words were always posted with love and concern behind them. Thanks for clarifying why she's disenchanted. It's easier to understand now. But, I still want her to come back.
*throws a cupcake to L on the couch*

mayo. is. everywhere. XD
star, i was. sneak, sneak, sneak. then i had to pretend i was writing up a report when i was actually writing a comment to our dear mayo.
that was the hardest part. people don't grin while writing reports.
lol
how'd your day go?
Alright SS you have to say something now. One of us has fallen and she needs help getting up. We are all there with our hands out to her but she needs to hear from you. Will you answer her call?
AIP good evening. I trust you are feeling well?
Okay this is kinda random but for some reason everytime you show up I imagine someone dark and mysterious wearing a cape. Sorry like I said my thoughts are so damn random sometimes.
Thank you GS.
Hey J.,tell L. I said hi and that I understand how she feels.Hope we can still keep in contant with L. through you.
TJ, I just relaxed today, and hung out in here. I'm off today and tomorrow, so I'm just chilling.
No, Elena, I think the same thing when I see AIP
. I think it's the name: An Interested Party. it's very mysterious and Spy vs Spy!
I'm good but agitated. Damn, it's hard catching up on a half-frozen connection.
AIP, I waited all day for cable to come to fix my computer line. Freezing up is the worst!
Elena, know something I don’t? The reward is still valid. If you don’t understand that, please ignore me. I’m not a mysterious cape-wearer but know one.
Star, it’s my polite term for nosey.
It's so much fancier than nosey, AIP!
ah, the weekend. star, i'm officially jealous of you right now. i still have two more days left in my work week.
*pouts*
Mayo,
As always, how are you this evening? I am a little sad because some of my friends are sad. Ya know?
I was just thinking about your post from earlier and I just want to share my feelings. You know yourself better than you realize and you know that the beautiful singing voice is your heart and soul talking to you. Listen to it. It will never lead you astray. That other voice...that smooth talking one? Yeah, that's not you dude. That's your demons talking. They like to scream and get loud. They get lonely when you don't pay them any attention. Fuck em. They will get you in trouble every time.
Look inside and find that beautiful voice again and you will find a beautiful human being. Wait? What was that? I've never heard you sing like that before.
Keep singing and you'll find all the answers you are searching for.
Now, I must go. My other...is coming home tonight and I don't feel like being bitched at or making him fight for my attentions. So tonight I give it to him undivided. I know you understand.
Love to You Always,
S
p.s. Let your heart sing to you.
Hi back MarthaJones and forgive me for not saying a proper hello earlier. I had about 100 things to do and only 2 hours to get them done! Needless to say, I did succeed.....Oh well, I did the important things done.
Hello Star, TJ, GN, AIP, Entropy, Elena, Sdock10, OP-J and anyone else who is still around.
OPJ: If we all said a collective PLEASE, do you think OPL would come back? And Sis Midnite too! You can't go, I need BOOT advice!!
I'm off again folks. My niece is making her confirmation tonight!
I hope you all have a great evening/night/morning.
*Hugs*
Goodnight, Sdock10.
Have a great night!
Oops, I meant I did NOT succeed ;-)
Have fun sd10
Have a good night, anon616.
good night sdock!
Sorry it took me a while to respond. I'm doing good, Star. Just have a headache.
No worries anon616, you have a good night.
Funny your name just made me think of a news story that I heard one time. that the number of the Beast wasn't 666 but 616 or something like that. well you have a good night.
and good night anon616!
*whew* it's hard keeping up with hellos and good-byes!
There was an anonymous post on the last blog entry, it came in at 4.53pm. I wanted to address this person.
Anonymous, whoever you may be, let me try to ease your worries. You say you've never felt comfortable in your own skin. Really, I never have either, at least not until recently. I've always been the girl who didn't fit in, who got teased for being different/smart/outspoken. I still don't fit in anywhere, but now I just don't care. I have a heart full of love to give as well, but no one particularly wants it. I sure haven't loved myself for very long, and some days it continues to be a dicey subject. I feel pretty lonely with my family, too. None of them understand me at all. Again, I don't much care anymore.
I have one true friend who helps me through the worst times, and helps me share the best times. She is really the only person in the world who knows me. And I am so grateful to have her.
I read your post and felt so very connected with you. That could be me you were writing about. One in a crowd of thousands. The odd one out.
What kind of void are you trying to fill? Probably the same one I am. The one that needs love inside it. I sometimes feel like a piece of me is missing. I keep looking for it, but it eludes me yet.
Even guitarists in successful rock bands know what it's like to be part of, but apart from. That's me, too, sugar. Maybe we could help each other fill that void. I'll try, if you will. It's really hard, believe me, I am quite aware of that. But, maybe together, we could do it. Want to give it a shot?
J.
Hi/bye 616.
Goodnight Sdock.
Hate to run,
But I love you guys to pieces!
Please come back L.
Please come back Midnite
Love,
S
Good night Sdock. Sweet dreams.
AIP you do intrique me. Ever have someone say something that nags at you but you just can't figure why? Well that's you my friend. As for knowing a mysterious cape-wearer I would say "Do tell?" but I know you won't.
hi Entropy how are you.
Hey Martha!
I'm doing good and yourself?
18 year finnish old high school boy killing his principle, nursey, and a 25 year old single mother with 5 and 3 year old kids. Plus 5 teenage boys. Plus himself.
That makes me so sad.
hello OPJ& L who had better get her... ass back her you two sister midnight. We need all the regular asses to be here. So get your... ass back here before I have to get off my ass and drag your ass here.
I think we should now have ass fest 07 now. ASS!!!!!
Hi entropy!
I'm fine Entropy.
to anon at 12:34. The story makes me sad as well.
Elena-
I was hoping you could tell me. I have a theatrically playful anonymous and no way to know who it is. Long story but I look for clues everywhere.
Me…not so much a mystery. Ask me or anyone who knows me, I’m all honest, all the time.
This is getting too common Anonymous.
What goes through their heads?
You guys, I think all the mushy stuff is doing something. L is trying not to cry.
Star, she said thanks for the cupcake. All that yummy frosting was just what she needed. :)
MJ, thanks for the shout-out to SS. I'm gonna write mine here in a minute. Maybe even one to Mr. Condiment Man. Who knows, the night is young.
J.
Time for din din! see you all later!
Aip here is something odd. this whole week I have been thinking about addressing Anon as who was that mysterious masked anon. I see you have one.
Hey, and now bye, Star!
Talk to you later.
"AssFest2007"?
BRILLIANT!
Let's kick the festivities off by inviting Shitsubou and Mayo to join us!
HEY GUYS! Drag your asses in here and let's mingle! My ass is lonely over here.
J.
Enjoy your fine meal star.
OPJ I just hope he is online right now so that he can see he is missed. And just because I don't address him/her personally it doesn't me I have forgotten our mayo. When I say Hi everybody I mean everybody.
Bye Star.
" Who is that masked Anon"
Why it's Hong Kong Phooey!
Hi, Mayo.
Isn't this mirror big enough for the two of you, honey?
have a good dinner, star!
I’ve had one for awhile, Martha. No idea why or where he came from or what he wants or any other good question. He’s polite and entertaining but it’s still creepy.
Yes Mayo and ss bring your asses on down. Here I'll even move my big ass out of your way.
AIP - All honest all the time?
Then you're not human. I've never met anyone who is honest ALL the time. I really don't belive that's possible. Sorry I can't help you with your theatrically playful anonymous, that's so not me. I can be playful but not anonymous. If I actually get up the nerve to say something and my brain and fingers are working together I say it using my name.
Oh K.
Groan.
J.
Well my ass! Kapu is back and I would love to give your ass a warm welcome.
Well as long as the anon is nice. we could use more of those. We should invited the masked one to come and play here. Just be good S&V20 just got her self a whip and she ain't afraid to use it.
Hello hello Kapunua. How are you?
Shit, I can't stay away.
How dare you have ASSFEST2007 without my ass?
Tell L. to bring her ass in here.
You guys love my ass don't you?
Fuck yeah you do!
OK now, kiss my ass goodbye for real.

You guys, I think all the mushy stuff is doing something. L is trying not to cry.
Well okay then...snow. That's mushy.
Come on we gotta get L back in the fold. I'm thinking mushy.
We love you from the bottom of our hearts....That's as mushy as I can get. THIS I MEAN
Yes sd10 we love your....ass. I'm so sad that your ass must go. But have fun with ass of yours.
L it is time to bring your ass back here you to sis M we can't be missing your asses.
Bh13 I'm still waiting for your ass to come back too.
SIS MIDNITE I got your message on my LJ. Yes, you owe me an email. But more than that, I won't hear of you leaving this place.
First of all, hello to Lucy!
Amyranth, I have checked your blog and not found anything posted recently?
OPs, I have checked that link and it says "Page not found?"
I think they forgot to add "Ghost in the Graveyard." Did anyone ever play that game?
FAVORITE. GAME. EVER.

Good to hear MJ.
Here's something funny. My boss is attending Sexual Harassment classes. Do you want to know why? ME! What a fucker.
November 8, 2007 9:19 PM
you gotta be kidding?? what did you do to him??
More like, what did he do to her? Which she answered. That sucks. Is it possible for you to quit your job?
PaperheartXX:
Elena and I both got "To assist , and me vocavistis! Male friend willingly came!"
FRERARD LIVES! EVERY FANGIRL'S DREAM! Sorry, I kid. ^_~
S&V20
I feel like Adam
Kapunua, you know Adam don't you?
He is awesome.
Just thought I'd say that.
Read his blog today
He had a conversation with a deer
Interesting to say the least
He's a talker that Adam
^____^ I wish I knew Adam. LIke, in the Biblical sense. Oh man, I feel so dirty, I make it a point never to crush on any boys who have girlfriends or whatever. But he is a dish, and so smart.
sdock10 said...
Hey Princess,
I think I shall call upon the energy of Adam right now want pop him in my..............
CD player.
"CD player." ^_^ I like it.
OP, hell, you knew someone had to go there, might as well have been me.
My ass will join you all shortly. But I have my clever little wordpad out and there are a few things I want to address before the fireworks. Yes, my ass deserves fireworks. It is pretty firm.
Kapunua it's about time your ass got here. Let the assfest begin.
Ass is good but not as fun as fuck for me. Saying fuck sets me free. To this day my mother would slap me up-side my head if she heard me say it. It's very sad being my age and still afraid of the wrath of mom. Oh and she hasn't seen my Vampire tattoo either. She would shit a brick.
All hail Kapu and her firm ass.
Yes fuck is always better but when speaking ass can be used in so many different ways.
Kapunua said...
Hi, Mayo.
Isn't this mirror big enough for the two of you, honey?
K,
Your ass is fucking brilliant. Much more clever than my ass could ever be.
I love your ass to death!
my ass is leaving again....
K,
To get to L's pictures, try this link:

Let me know if it works.
J.
Shroedinger's Cat, Mayo. Aren't we all?
Mayo, I hope you realize by now that nothing most of us say to you is ever painted or ambiguous, at least not on purpose. Yours are, but that's okay, I accept your poetry; most of us do, in fact. (You use yer tongue pertier than a twenty dollar whore.)
I read your interest, and it's funny you should mention that, because I was thinking about this whole thing today. Yes, I think about all of you when work gets boring. I was feeding our one-legged robin and I found myself wondering about your last post, Mayo, when you got yourself all in a tizzy over some anons and you were defending why you had assembled us all here.
It occurred to me, Mayo, that you didn't assemble us all here. We kind of assembled ourselves. But you did start this blog--at least I think you did, but sometimes I suspect otherwise--and I was wondering why you did. Where, when, and how it began.
Your first entry seems to have been a ridiculous reply to a petty claim that "Loveman" had made. But how did we find this blog, Mayo? Some anonymous person must have posted a link on either Loveman's blog--they had to have, because I don't think I ever lurked anywhere else. I could be wrong. I don't remember how I found you. But it had to get out somehow, as most of these blogs have: by anonymous posters--most often the blog-keeper him or herself.
Mayo, did you start this blog, or did someone else? At one time you seemed to hint that there were two people writing this. Has it only ever been you? Or was there another person who used to keep this blog? Are you the one who posted a link to it where we could find it?
Most importantly, why did you begin this blog? To what end? Was it really to argue a ridiculous, petty claim that honestly, no one cares about? Or was there a bigger reason and that just happened to be your first subject? I actually was going to ask you why you assembled us all here, but we all know that you actually didn't. You drew us here, that's for sure, but you don't seem to have expected that. You said yourself that it was not your original intent to stay. I appreciate that, I really do. But what was your original intent? And has it only ever been yours?
I like you, Mayo. Seriously, I want to hit you with a phone book sometimes, but there are times when I want to hit myself with a phone book, too. But for the most part I like you; I look forward to reading ths things you have to say. I look forward to reading the things the awesome group of self-assembled people here have to say. I want to cheer for this entire thing happening.
I just want to know how and why it happened.
One more thing and then I'll let you be. So yeah, we assembled ourselves and you don't seem to mind; that's cool. I've asked this question a few times of the folks here and no one can ever seem to answer it, so now I'm asking you. You seem like an insightful fellow. My last question to you (for now,) is: why do you think you drew us? Specifically, us? This group of (mostly) 30-something women (and a few younger ones who nonetheless are often wiser than us,) who both care about you and want to hit you with a phone book at the same time? Why did this blog not attract a bunch of screaming, worshipful teenies? Or true haters? You only ever seem to attract one or the other. (That must be very hard; I admit that.) But you got a group of very cocal, honest, ambivalent (in the true sense of the word) wimminfolk. Why do you think that is?
Okay, I type a lot, sorry. Long days and pleasant nights.
Is my ass the only one still here where has everyone and their asses gone?
Wow, typo much? And I can't even blame it on my keyboard, because right now it's doing its job. Jesus.
Sdock, we'll see your ass later! ^_^ Glad you liked that little, uhh, venture into Bullets territory. You know I couldn't resist. ^_^
Oh, J, I like all those drawings! ^_^
To all,
Thank you so much for your kind and loving words today. I truly feel like I am part of a family that I never even knew I had.
I am back, and "I will not give up.
I will try one more time."
Thank you, my angel.
I may not write much tonight, but I will be back in full force tomorrow.
Again, thank you for every single sweet word. They were very appreciated.
Love, Hope and Faith,
L.
Thank you, Kapuna.
I figured the rose could be "Mayo's Mafia" icon. :)
L.
wimminfolk
omg kapunua. i don't know whether to give you an incredulous stare or laugh myself silly that you used that word.
suddenly, i'm a rampant feminist in college again. lol
thanks, kapunua. sincerely. ^.^
Jebas! I just got back the worst yoga class of all time!
I'm more stressed out now than I was before! Stupid robotic instructor....
Anyway, how is everyone?
I'm making brownies for work tomorrow.
Cool L brought her ass back. It is so nice to have your ass back l it had better stay here. Now we have to get sis m to bring her ass back. Lovely art work by the way.
welcome back, l.!
i'm glad to see you! ^.^
I'm doing a happy dance right now L
Welcome back Hon,
Be glad you can't see me dance.
Hello Mp how is your ass today.
Toujours, I am allowed to use that word because I'm one of those hardcore feminists*. ;D ANd I use it in irony.
*The real kind, who actually cares about women and ourrights and issues and how we are treated; not the fake kind who only uses the word "feminist" to get attention.
Hey there magic pie how are you?
hahaha Hey MJ! My ass is tired! How is yours?
Good evening, BC. I'm doing OK, considering my crappy yoga class ;) How are you?
MJ, Toujours, Elena,
Thank you, good to have my ass back. (MJ, thanks for the compliment on the drawings) I guess I can't give up, no matter what, I will keep trying. If nothing else, maybe Mayo will eventually break down and say "OK, Please, just stop writing. I'm putting the bottle down!"
Or I could tell him of my Grandmother's "12 Step Program". My Grandfather never drank again after her "cure."
L.
L,that is great to hear!
Hello Magic P.
Sucks that yoga wasn't that great.
L, you were greatly missed, welcome home.
Kapunua, marvellous words, but will he be as open and truthful as ' honest anon ' ?
I shall retire for the night and reflect on mere triflings to settle my brain.
Good night all.
TTFN
P.S Bert is love!
i'm too lazy to be a true feminist anymore, kapunua, but damn it was a nice jolt to see that word.
i always preferred the version with a "y" myself, and didn't like "womon" because i always heard it with a ferengi accent.
/vocabulary flashback
Now you, SS. Sweetheart, get the hell over it, seriously. We all have to "smile and smile and be a villain" once in a while. It's the only way to get by. You told us it was going to happen; that means a lot. If you're seriously going to bail because of it, you're being silly. We get it, 'kay? Come back to the sandbox.
Entopy, GS,
Thank you, good to be back. And goodnight, GS.
Love ya,
L
I just read the new one, and I've not caught up on the comments, but I will say:
Mayo,
This is the only blog I feel that you've been honest, partially because it was a dream and we know that dreams can't tell lies and partially because I see my selves as you have seen your selves. I guess I find it honest because I can relate to it.
Do you think the other you in this dream also be the other shunners, not just yourself. You can make the other you like you again. My other me doesn't like me sometimes, but that's when I tell myself to shut the fuck up, that I'm doing the best I can. But, then I realize I'm not and we're back in the same circle.
"My song is pleading for him to hear, to once again find me, but he does not."
I'm pleading, too. I'm in your position. Screaming, shouting, begging to be heard, but is it worth it. Is that person sitting across this screen hearing? Please don't wake me up, 'cause I'm not finished here. I've still got the last course to finish.
Thank you for this. Just in my time of need, you've provided a reflection of myself. Much appreciation and love to you Mayo.
Just keep listening and maybe we'll say things that strike a cord.
To everyone else:
Hello and how's everyone?
My ass is good mp. Bc how about yours and l you must tell od this program your grandmother had.
glad to see that the assy anon from last night didn't show up.
l., it's good that you aren't giving up. besides, i really think i am beginning to see a teeny tiny dent in that brick wall we keep bashing our heads against.
wait.
what were the symptoms of head trauma, again?
*is woozy*
Mib for the answer to how I am doing look below your post. But How are you and your ass that's what I want to know.
Toujours, if you don't have the impetus to be a feminist, you can be a Heartless Bitch, at least. ^_^ I have been, for a few years. :D
Hey Mustard!
Goodnight,GS.
L! So happy you are back!
K, you amaze me with your ability to recap and reply to the daily comments. I love that I wasn't the only who grew up playing ghost in the graveyard! I actually thought my brothers made it up; but I found out later that others played it too. Good times.
So we have yet to hear from our dear friends Mayo and SS. And come on Bert, you also got a wonderful come-hither from the group here.
Where is gentle vengeance tonight?
mwah-ha-ha! great link, kapunua!
gods, can't wait to show my friend from college that site!
thanks!
I love that I wasn't the only who grew up playing ghost in the graveyard!
That game gave me the shivers, in such a good way. Growing up, I had two friends aside from my two cousins. They were both boys and one was the younger brother of Brenden, that kid who stabbed me a bunch of times. His little brother was actually nice to me. Anyway, we would play Ghost in the Graveyard pretty much all night once it got dark. All of our parents were pretty cool about us staying outside after dark as long as the big kids weren't around (and Brenden didn't bother me if his kid brother was around.) Some nights we had the run of the neighborhood. There were woods behind my house, and most of the neighbors were pretty open about us using their yards to play in, too. One game of Ghost in the Graveyard could take all night. Of course there would only be one person left by the end of it, and four ghosts. But sometimes you would purposely let yourself be tagged so that you wouldn't be that last person! Because the fastest runner would always be alone at the end. Then that one person would have to venture out alone, and oh my god, I wish I could scare myself that badly and that innocently again. ^_^
Ever play Light As A Feather?
MarthaJones,
My Grandmother on my Dad's side was the one who was half Cherokee, half Welsh. My grandfather used to drink quite a bit when my Dad was a kid. There were 7 of the kids and one one Friday evening my Grandpa did not come home after working at the sawmill that day. He had just got paid and had gone to the bar, spending the ENTIRE paycheck.
It was around 11:00 that night, pouring the rain, and Grandma and all of the kids were on the porch waiting to see Grandpa coming up the road. (There was about a half-mile driveway where you could see.)
When they saw him stumbling up the road, my Grandma told the kids to stay on the porch and she picked up a TWO BY FOUR piece of wood and met my Grandfather in the road. She knocked him down with it, into the mud, and yelled at him to "Get up, you sot!" She would allow him to get up, take about four steps, and WHAM! take him down again with the plank. Each time she told him to get up and would let him walk 3 or 4 steps before whapping him back down in the mud.
By the time they got home, Grandpa had decided he was never going to drink again, and never touched another drop.
She also could throw a knife and a hatchet dead-on, and taught me how as well.
Angelina Jolie's got nothing on me! :)
L.
Bert really came back here, didn't he?
Awesome story, L. You're part NDN, too! Yeah, Native Blood! ^_^
L.,
I'm so glad to see you back.
I just popped in here just to see if you were here.
See, I believe in you too.
Love, Hope, & Faith
Always
s
Stiff as a board, Kapunua!
My ass is going to grass if I keep sneaking on here.
Gotta go again!
Love ya'll!
l.
your grandmother.
wow.
just...
wow.
L. I'm so glad you just took a breather. You just don't know how sad I was when you said you were leaving. It was kind of like having a tripod missing a leg. It just doesn't work.
Hello guys;
I'm just finishing up my blog from a concert I went to on Sunday. =]
How is everyone?!
*HUG*
I never played Ghost in the Graveyard, but it sounds like I would've loved it. I did play Light as a Feather.
Thanks for sharing that story with us L.
Hey paperheart!
I'm okay,you?
paperheartxx!
*glomp!*
hug attack!
*hug*

ha-ha! pre-emptive strike, don't you know! :D
So, I see "ASSFEST2007" has begun!
AssAssAssDonkeyAssAssAssJackAssAss
AssAss....
My ass is tired and is going to Mayo's previous blog, now that I've caught up with this one, to see what went down over there after I left.
Glad to know all your asses are well. And could someone explain to me why Sister M is leaving? J. explained why L. is leaving, but I didn't see an explanation from SM.
Be back in a minute.
What is Ghost in a Graveyard? =]
jennicula,
Thank you sweetie, that was very nice!
Toujours,
She was something else, let me tell you. Before my grandfather got sober she swung a fireplace poker at the local SHERIFF who had came to the house to get Grandpa for disturbing the peace. The poker wrapped around the porch post, after the sheriff ducked, and he tipped his hat and said "Good day, ma'am, sorry to have bothered you," and got in the car and LEFT!

Dude, I totally forgot I wrote "light as a feather" and I was like, "uhhh... Okay then, sdock." O_o
Man, that game was totally for real, wasn't it?
Nevermind.
L.:
So glad to see you've returned, at least for a little while. I don't want to see anyone leave here. It'd be like losing a limb or something.
K, Ghost in the Graveyard scared the crap out of me. I was the youngest and I always played with my brothers and their friends. We had a big back yard with lots of trees. I always let myself get tagged because I was so scared of hiding in the dark by myself! We played it almost every night in the summer.
And of course I played Light as a Feather. It never seemed to work though. We didn't have enough "mind" to make it work.
L, that's a crazy story!
Sdock, what are doing sneaking on here? Bad girl.
Awww, "I'm not okay" is on Fuse right now. How cute.
L your grandmother is my hero.
I feel left out I've never played those games. Hell Ph how are you and your ass tonight.
Hey Entropy. I am doing good. Preparing for a long night online. If my sister doesn't neeed the computer that is.
Toujours! No fair, that was a sneak attack! Ohh well, you still get a hug! *hug*
Mustard, you crack me up! Assdonkey! haha!
PH, it was kind of like hide and seek but you played it in the dark. Ummm, K help me out...what were the rules? It was pretty simple, but my old brain is failing me.
"Good day, ma'am, sorry to have bothered you," and got in the car and LEFT!
rofl! i'll bet he did! she sounds like a very formidable woman! i am in awe.
Hi everyone! *waves shyly*
As usual I'm late to join the party, but for anyone who doesn't know me, I am cupcake, I've been lurking for ages and came out near the end of Mayos last blog.
So Hi!
Hi Mustard! Good to read ya.
Hey you guys. What do you get when you cross an owl with a bungee cord?
My ass.
That's how you say it, guys.
Look what I found! I love google. Here you go:

Thanks for the explanation anima!
Hey cupcake! Good to see you again! How was your day today? Did you enjoy my cupcake I gave you this morning?
*hug*
paperheartxx, sneak attack hugs are the best kind!
you are never safe mwah-hah-hah!
hello cupcake! i didn't get a chance to greet you last night, i was wandering in and out too much.
welcome to the gang!
Hello again people.
I'm soooooo glad to see we have L back with us.
I've been gone awhile. I've decided that I haven't opened up enough to you good people. You are all so eloquent in your writings so sometimes I don't join in. I make light of things and joke around.
I've just blogged. it may be the only one like this you'll ever get from me as I am still crying now. I just didn't feel like I could accept your friendship without giving in return so I've decided to share a little of my life with you.
I actually explained Ghost in the Graveyard to Cute Boy a few nights ago. Lemme see.
The ghost was "it," the one who would have to hide and everyone else would go look. The first person who saw them would have to scream "the ghost!" and everyone would run back to base. Whoever got tagged by the ghost before reching base became a ghost also.
(This could take hours, as there were tons of places to hide.)
But eventually all the kids would get tagged by the ghost... until there would be one kid left.
Then that kid would venture out alone, with all the ghosts after him or her. That last kid would be crapping their pants. It was so tense. You know, that would be a good game to play as adults, too. I so wish I could get some adults to come out and play it with me. I could rock that game, I'm a veteran. ^_^
That video just made my night! Thank you Kapunua!

Mou, it's not working!
MissT, I'm off to look at your blog right now.
Okay...now I'm back and on top of shit. :)
Hello to those who have said hello to me! And hello to those who haven't (I know where you live;)
The Anon at 4:53 on Mayo's last blog. My empathies, if that's even a word. I know. Believe me, don't I know.
I hope the person who wrote this doesn't get mad. But I really loved this:
"There once was a young man named 'Gee',
Whose message just called out to me,
'Til he whipped out his Sharpie,
And married a harpy*
Then showered his ethics with pee."
(*Lyn-Z could be lovely and this is merely conjecture, but her band sucks)
Hi paperheartxx! And i enjoyed it very much thankyou! *hugs* I brought you a brownie!
Hey toujours! A pleasure to meet you!
Thank you mustard, glad to be back!
Tojours, I loved her to death. She was always so sweet to me, like "Here, sweetie, have a cookie." I had NO idea about her other side until my Mum and Dad started telling me stories after I got older. I knew about the knife throwing, but we aimed at trees when she taught me. Only later did I learn she had planted a butcher knife 3 inches from my Grandpa's HEAD during an argument and informed him that "she didn't miss. The next one would just be 3 inches to the right."
L.
I just looked at a couple more sites for the game rules and look at this:
Ask your parents' permission before going outside, especially after dark.
Be careful not to run into obstacles. You might want to pick up hoses and gardening tools before playing.
This game might not be suitable for older people with weak hearts, or younger kids who are easily scared. It can be extremely scary when the ghost pops out at you.
Do not play this game in an actual graveyard. The possibility of damaging or displacing grave markers is very high. Not only that, it's disrespectful of those who have passed on and those who still tend the graves.
Give me a break!! They actually had to put warnings on for this game. Oh do I miss the old days.
:O you shouldn't have Cupcake!! :D *HUG*
hello miss t -- gonna go read it. ^.^
Oh K,thanks so much for that link.
I always wondered how you were suppose to say it.
Hey MissT.
MissT, I can't comment on your blog because I am not signed up, so I hope you don't mind if I extend my sympathies to you here. You never, ever are expected to get over anything like that. I just don't know what I would do without my Da. He had a heart attack years ago but thank all the powers, he went to the hospital in time. Meanwhile, it gave me a whole different perspective. Anyway I am so, so sorry.
You hang in there, my dear.
Hello hello Mustard. I missed you! Where have you been?
L. Your grandmother is what I call a "real character,"
Thank you Kapunua.
Glad you guys liked that link! That cracks* me up every single time. ^_^
Dude, seriously? Warnings for Ghost in the Graveyard? OMG, bite me. That game is to be played as recklessly as possible.
Try posting that link again if you don't mind, or posting it as a link? I'd love to take a look.
*Pun entirely intended.
"There once was a young man named 'Gee',
Whose message just called out to me,
'Til he whipped out his Sharpie,
And married a harpy*
Then showered his ethics with pee."
- Oh I love a good limerick!
Magic pie, if you are still here, please accept my apologies. I went to take a short nap because I wasn't feeling good :(
Hi Entropy.
Do you realise, that you are always the first person to say hi to me whenever I appear. It always makes me smile.
Kapunua, you have the rules right! You are good.
Here is another link:

Hi Mustard! Hi everyone! I'm sorry, I'm trying to keep up but got lost in the graveyard.
K, did you say Bert was here? Did I miss something? Or was that the Ghost BM? (I loved your joke btw regarding that!!)
