A lucid transaction.

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.

Hello Mayo. How are you today?

Thanks for the new blog.

Do you crave to be this other more confidant you? The you that you catch glimpses of occasionally.

We all feel this way honey. Only you can make it so.

Anonymous said...

It's hard when we see in others what we so desperately want to see in ourselves.

I can't offer a cure for that, or even a mild sedative.

Are we the one's that are leading you back to reality?

Anonymous said...

mayo, do you envy that other self? which one do you think is more real?

regardless, the you that we meet with here is a treasured friend, whether you are regaling us with tales or sitting silent and grinning along.

this is the table you built, but together, we have all made it a place for feasting.

(back to work!)

Magic Pie said...

Mayo, I definitely know how you feel. The duality in us all can sometimes surprise and confuse.

I often feel as you do in this post. Sometimes I look at pictures of myself a few years ago and remember someone so different. I miss that person and envy her. I wish I could be her again. I marvel at how fun and full of life she was.

I would do anything to be that person again. I would love to have those goals, dreams and lust for life once more. These days feel trapped and I don't know how to get back to the other me. But at least I realize that I have changed.

It seems like you have as well. Do you miss the old you? You may not be that exact same person again but you can always try to get some of that back.

Are we the ones who wake you up, take you by the hand and lead you to these realizations? If so, I'm proud to be someone who can help you. If it's someone else, I'm glad that you have that person.

No matter who you are, I have come to love you, mayo.

Anonymous said...

I think...

I think he wants to be that confident person. I think there is a co-dependency that is not assisting that self-confidence he needs.

I think Mayo needs to break the mirror.

sdock10 said...

Mayo,

Our own voices are the easiest to drown out, but they ring the loudest in our own ears. Sometimes I want to make myself shut up. Most of the time I am wandering aimlessly and I want myself to find me. How did I get here? Where did you go?

But most of the time, I convince myself that everything is going to be okay. Do I believe myself?

Yeah, sometimes I think I do.

Love to YOU Always,
S


p.s. Can I sit at that table with you? We could make beautiful music together.

Jennicula said...

Good for you, Mayo, you are trying to find your inner-strength. It's a tough journey, that self-awareness. All the obstacles found are usually yourself. Keep singing, at some point the other you will hear the song and join in.

Anonymous said...

Alright, time for me to run.

Mayo, check out my livejournal. There's something there for you.

Everyone else, I'll be back later tonight, seeing as I don't have tickets to the DKM concert. Fufufu.

Anonymous said...

I really wish could come up with something meaningful to tell you, Mayo. The old "hang in there" phrase seems trite and doesn't help much too much.

But, the fact that you can see the difference between the two is something that many people are never able to do.
Self awareness is a blessing and a curse.

I hope you know how much you mean to all of us here and how much we have come to mean to each other.

Please don't ever forget that you have a crazy, beautiful bunch of messed of individuals who love you dearly.

Magic Pie said...

Anon at 5:54....or should I say Mayo since you have put that on your profile....are you saying that Amyranth is your new interest?

sdock10 said...

Ok, you can see how messed up I am that I can't even type messed UP!

elena said...

All of us have another "US" inside. The way we are and the way we want to be. Sometimes the way we want to be was once the dominant one. But somehow that person gets shoved back deep inside. Remember the way you want to be, the one you want to be, is still there. You just have to listen to your heart cause the heart is the keeper of all our wants and desires. We hear you Mayo, we understand. You are trying to find that person and so are we. Much love to you.

sdock10 said...

Amyranth, excellent!

Jennicula said...

Mayo, I can't speak for anybody else here. I can only say that I'm drawn here. In the beginning it was your words alone. Now it's your words and the comments that follow. It's a weird little e-family full of funny, crazy, angry, lovable creatures that I like to call my friends. For that, I thank you.

Amyranth asked:

Why do you think we have all assembled here?


Well Mayo, I came here through worry regarding the behaviour of a certain individual. I came here in the hope of understanding a little about what was occuring within my favourite band.

It's been an interesting journey these last couple of months. I can't say I'm any the wiser on my initial interest but during my time here, I've met some wonderful people. I guess that is why I keep coming back.

Thank you for that Mayo.

Magic Pie said...

Honestly, I come here because it makes me both sane and insane. I need to be both in order to survive.

I orginally came here because I think you're a great writer, Mayo. Seriously, I'd read your shopping list for Target. I stayed because everyone else was so warm and welcoming. I feel like I'm part of a little gang that may disagree, but ultimately cares about each other.

MissT: I'm trying to slide in that sentence at work today, so far nobody's provoked me. Dammit. I'll probably have a great day and not need it. Damn my luck.

Jennicula said...

Star, I was lucky. I married my best friend. He makes me laugh, rubs my back, runs away when I yell. He knows all my shit and loves me for it.

Broken Telepathy said...

To Mayo:

Don't lose sight of who you want to be, but make sure that it's what you want, not what others expect of you. You don't need anyone's approval - not even ours. Yes, sometimes you can get a clearer picture of who you are by seeing yourself through the eyes of others, but, ultimately, it is yourself that you have to live with. You are the only person who can never, ever leave you.

To the others:

I've been lurking for a while but have been hesitant to post. I hope you don't consider this an intrusion.

MissTottenham said...

Don't worry Jen, you'll get a chance.

You can call it me if it makes you feel better ha!

Good afternoon Mayonaise. How are you? I have to admit, this new post reminds me of one of SS's blogs before he deleted them a while back.
Could this post be a resemblance to it?
Mayonaise, it appears to me that you envy your other self, supposedly because they appear to be more confident and outspoken than your own self. Sometimes I struggle with that part of myself as well. You know that.
No cure or medication will cure this. Only you have the power to find the confidence deep within yourself once again. Find it.
As for why I am here, my reason is similar to everyone else's. I care about you.
m, it is so good to see you again. How are you?

My husband knows entirely too much about My Chem from me. We got lost and ended up in Belleville the other night.
He turns to me and hands me his phone, which has internet on it, and says "Go to you pal's blog and ask how we get to Route 21."

Original Punk J said...

Mayo,

Before I go into anything else, please take a moment to notice what used to be OUR tagname. L has decided to stop writing here, because she feels she has not made any kind of impression. She says she can see no difference in your words, actions, nothing. She feels her presence here has been fruitless, even after all the personal things she has revealed. To you, and to everyone. She says she still respects the band and will support you all. She still loves you, Gerard. But she feels like you've ignored all her advice, her concern, anything she's ever tried to say to you. Apparently, since you haven't done anything to make yourself better after reading everybody's heartfelt words, we could all say that nothing we say or do will impress itself upon you.

And now Frank's had to sell his soul to the Devil in order to keep you happy. ARE you happy? Getting everything you want, are you?

Don't expect ME to leave you alone, because I will not. I will nag at you day and night if I have to, if only to get you to hear that the people you call "friends" just are "not feeling the love".

Prove to me that you love us. Prove to L she hasn't been wasting her breath. Talk to us, straight up, no more bullshit about sitting at tables and looking at yourself. We are all around you, talking to you, and you are fucking ignoring us to look at your own face.

I'm not even going to try to decipher what you wrote today. Where were you yesterday when Frank needed you? Did you come here and defend him? Hell no. What kind of friend lets his friend go under three times?

I will never give up on Frank. I'm going to be here, talking to him, even if I choose to ignore YOU. But don't think I'll completely ignore you, no way. I still love you too, but right now I could beat you and feel good about it.

L says that you will still be in her prayers every day, that doesn't change.

By the way, L was not chased away. She walked away of her own volition.

Mayo,

I come here for you and me. Plain and simple. I hope that what I say can somehow help you or provide you with a different way of looking at things. Clarity? Perhaps. I just want you to know that someone does understand.

I come here to find myself. When I talk to you, I always feel like I trying to speak loud enough for myself to hear. Above all my own bullshit. You make me look at those deep, dark corners of my soul. You force me to look in the mirror. And I'm figuring out, that sdock10 is not such an ugly person afterall. And I have found the BEST people I have ever met in my entire life. I love them all dearly.

Thank you...I will be forever indebted to you for allowing me to come here and release.

Love to You Always,

Yeah, honestly. The oldest or only child usually gets dibs on the basement, cause it's bigger and a cool hangout.
I still can't adjust to windows and sunlight in a bedoom after my basement.

CTV, the message I was trying to get across too was that, everyone discovered this Frank interview and was sooooooo pissed at him.

SS appeared (rolls eyes) with another apology. Everyone went gushy with the "AW, we still love ya Frank, we knew it wasn;t your fault".

That was what I was nagging about.

I do lilke it when ss offers us messages of support and tells us to be nice to each other. I like it when mayo does that.

We could do with less "oh, I didn't speak up over this problem but sorry again" stuff.


Last night his location was 'a town called hypocrisy' so I think he is fully aware that he is a liar and a hypocrite.

He posted his message yesterday because people were directly asking what was going on. He could have just pressed the 'off' switch on his laptop, ignored the heartbreaking messages, and sloped off with his tail between his legs, without as much as a goodbye.

Instead he chose to face the music, tried to explain (as best he could under the circumstances)that there were other motivating forces at work and acknowledge and apologize for his actions.

Now he is gone, I suspect he feels that he betrayed the trust that had been placed in him and irreparably damaged the relationships he was beginning to forge.

He never intended to stay, I think he was surprised and drawn to the traits displayed in abundance on this blog. Warmth, energy, humor, wit, intelligence, empathy, compassion, generosity of spirit, honesty, camaraderie and friendship.

The moment he realized his presence here had actually damaged and perhaps even destroyed something pure, was the moment he knew he must leave.

One thing is certain, the loss is his.

Shame in me said...

Wow!!! This post is by far my favourite one so far mayo!!
Reading your dream/vision took my breath away in a weird kinda nice way if im honest.
Do you feel you are missing the better half of yourself?
Who was it who took your hand and pulled you away at the end?
Depending on who this was the meaning behind it all could be very different.
Was it someone that you love? Could it mean that this person is pulling you away from the real you? from the you, you strive to be? Is this person making you forget the better half of yourself in someway? Are you clinging desperatly onto the real, good you only to be pulled in every other direction?
I hope with all my heart that the person who pulls you away loves you greatly as you should be loved and that they are only pulling you away because you no longer need the other you.
Even if the other you is at ease and is confident, maybe those surface qualities hide something more sinister behind them and you are being pulled away because there is a greater you to be found? Maybe the other you is yourself from the past? a past that is too dangerous to step back into?
What is the song you are singing to the other you? Is it filled with sadness? Is it a song of goodbye?
Maybe its the other you that grabs you at that crucial moment when you were going to stop singing?
If that is the case i would hope that to mean that just as you were giving up on ever having a part of yourself back you were complete again. I really do hope thats the case. With all my heart
Thankyou so much for sharing this with us.
Im not entirely sure why but this post really struck a chord with me in ways you may never know, or maybe ways you already do know but either way you have inspired me and for that i thankyou greatly. You are beautiful :)

Anon, I did say that. My point was that ss talks about defending (enabling) his friend and he always apologises for not doing more.

I just wish he'd stop apologizing. Either do something or not but there's no need to keep apologizing.

I complained about ss appearing then everyone going gushy over Frank because let's face it, we have no proof about who these people are.

Is this where you all start cutting yourselves?

November 8, 2007 7:46 PM

I think you're confusing this blog with Buzznet...and yes, some girls on there actually said they were going to start cutting themselves when Gerard starting dating Lindsey. I know this proberly seems funny to you but it's not, it's very serious.

Anonymous, cutting is definitely not funny. I heard a similar thing when Mikey married Alicia.

"Last night his location was 'a town called hypocrisy' so I think he is fully aware that he is a liar and a hypocrite.

He posted his message yesterday because people were directly asking what was going on. He could have just pressed the 'off' switch on his laptop, ignored the heartbreaking messages, and sloped off with his tail between his legs, without as much as a goodbye.

Instead he chose to face the music, tried to explain (as best he could under the circumstances)that there were other motivating forces at work and acknowledge and apologize for his actions.

Now he is gone, I suspect he feels that he betrayed the trust that had been placed in him and irreparably damaged the relationships he was beginning to forge.

He never intended to stay, I think he was surprised and drawn to the traits displayed in abundance on this blog. Warmth, energy, humor, wit, intelligence, empathy, compassion, generosity of spirit, honesty, camaraderie and friendship.

The moment he realized his presence here had actually damaged and perhaps even destroyed something pure, was the moment he knew he must leave.

One thing is certain, the loss is his.

Don't you DARE fucking bail on us, SS! Don't you understand, we love you and NEED you.

You are willing to give Mayo chance after chance, but you are not allowing us to give YOU another chance? Do you really think that what you did would make us hate you forever? Do you think that less of us?

If you can forgive and not give up on Mayo, why won't you let us not give up on you? Why can't you stay and be our friend? Just as much as you enjoy talking to us, we enjoy talking to you, and would miss you beyond words.

Give us a chance. PLEASE! You need us as much as we need you. I beg of you, SS.

We love you.

Do you guys wanna hear something awful.

I went to see MCR in Manchester in March. As we were filing out of the venue,I had to do a double take at this girl.

My sis said "oh dear, look at that poor girl, she cuts herself".

There were red slashes all over her arms. But as I got closer, I noticed that it was make-up and they were drawn on.

I was so shocked that she thought that was a good look, it was just an image to her.

Some people ......

Hello bc I'm good nice and rested how are you. By the way I meant haven't.

Anonymous said...

Hi BC,

Well, the Gerard/Lindsey cutting thing was more about that the teenagers on there had believed in the message of MCR and then he started dating her and then there was the whole MCR/MSI message contradiction blow up. Then the rumours Gerard getting drunk and doing drugs again upset alot of them. I wasn't that he had a girlfriend/wife like Mikey but the fact that everything they had been fed by the band had been fabricated when they had made themselves out to be so genuine.

Hi there Miss Monster. Martha, I'm doing pretty good. Miss T, that is terrible. One thing I despise is the fact that these impressionable kids think that blood, knives, guns, and other negative influences of violence are cool.

MissTottenham said...

I know BC.

To pretend to self harm.

I just don't know what to say.

MissTottenham said...

Today's funny rumors from INO. They really crack me up.

I've just heard another story about G and Lyn-Z getting a divorce... seems to be the new rumour of choice.

They even used the same old thing of him throwing his ring into the crowd.
Good old myspace.



Mikey said "Recently Gerard and Frank have been acting really odd, yesterday Gerard made Frank lunch which is kinda odd as seen as they were arguing and today Frank is seriously ill. He's in hospital and the doctors say that it's some kind of severe food poisoning. I don't know if it had anything to do with Gerard or not."

wat do yall think?



: Gerard had his broken blood vessel (or Nigel as it is called) surgically removed.

I think the broken blood vessel is the small red thing he has under his right eye.



Frank got his peen pierced because he lost a bet to Gerard.





I really like the last one ha!

Hi m and Miss T,

Miss T, I went to the Cardiff show in March and I saw the exact same thing that you did, but this was real cuts. As dispite the fact it was MARCH and freezing cold she still had her sleves rolled up as if she was proud of it or it made her feel as though she belonged there because she was thought he rest of the people there were doing also and she needed to fit in.

I was checking out Bn to see if there were any videos or photos and this is what I found: mcr report Schaarbeek Brussels. Its in the journal section.

Here are first things that came to my mind when I read this blog:

1. This almost sounds like Mayo is saying there is someone here that he really likes, but there is so much other bullshit going on in here most of the time that even when he tries to pop in, he is ignored - or his thoughts/opinions are missed, or no one believes it is him.

I wonder who it is?


Or,
2. It sounds like Mayo is talking about his/her blog persona and his/her blog commenter i.d. Yes, split personalities, if you will.

I wonder who it is?


Yep, I'm confused...

MissTottenham said...

Miss Monster, I agree.

It truely is sad when people feel they have to do that to fit in.

Martha Smith-Jones said...

Hi miss t, Miss monster, m I don't know who else is here.

Anonymous said...

Miss T, my favorite rumor is the one where Gerard made Frank sick with the lunch he made. That one is hilarious XD

MissTottenham said...

Hi MJ, how are you?


In the song "I don't love you" Gerard pointed at Mikey while singing "when you get back, I'll be off to find another way" and then he said "get it?"


I wonder what this was about.



I don't know what the matter was with Frank, but he just stood there the whole night, headbanging. He didn't jump around or got on his head like he used to, he just didn't leave this area of two metres from his microphone and didn't do anything silly. I thought this was weird.

Martha Smith-Jones said...

Anon @ 8:13 I took this blog as a response to the things we were saying about Mayo and Gerard in the other blog. One night we decide to say what we all like about mayo and Gerard. The Gerard ones were sad because they were in the past tense.

sdock10 said...

Sister Midnite, L. & J, and anyone else who is thinking about leaving,

Don't.

All of you know that this experience has become so much bigger than what it started it out as. For me, I found a blog. Figured what the hell...I might have something to say. Hell, I even posted a few comments. Then my comments started getting comments and I realized I really liked some of the people I was talking to. I hung out. I lurked. I'd join in occasionally, but I didn't dream of creating my own blog. But something strange happened, I loved this place and the people in it. All the characters involved had such great stories to tell. Then it hit me. I had to create my own blog and I have never had such great therapy in my life. And I owe it all to YOU guys.

So please, I am asking you one more time to reconsider. I know that we all still have great stories to tell and fabulous songs to sing together.

You know where to find me if you need me.

Love,
S

p.s. Faith, Hope, Love

Mayo,I really liked this blog.
We're all here for you to help you find that other you.To complete you. I just hope you take the offer of our help.
Are we your new interest or did you find a new interest besides us?

Why I'm here? Like many others, I was drawn here because I care and then made so many friends.


"With you in spirit - always."

Why does that sound like a goodbye?
I really hope you come back SS.Read everyones messages yesterday and see how we feel.
You made everyone breath a sigh of relief when you actually put something up on your blog,don't walk away now.

Maybe this could explain why those angry anons hasn't returned for a while. I had noticed that the other day. Whenever Mayo posts a new blog, I noticed that I don't see those angry anons here....

Living this way will probably send me to an early grave, but at least I will have lived. And perhaps on my journey, I will have shown someone else how to as well.

Martha Smith-Jones said...

In answer to why am I here. It began as curiosity. I was concerned that something was wrong with GW. But on Bn if you voice your concern about it you were called a hater and attacked. So I came here to see what was going on. After a while I decided to join in because it felt safe and I believed that I would fit in here. I did. I stay because I feel save and I fit in.

MissTottenham said...

Sdock10, you always turn up with such beautiful words.

sdock10 said...

I don't want any of you to ever feel like what you say isn't important. Who knows who might be listening...You might have the exact words that someone needs to hear.

That's a beautiful thing.

Miss t Bh13 I to take a break from here. It was taking over her life and not in a good way. Right now she is busy with work and school.

Hello to all

Geez Mayonaise,

Maybe some of us have not come to terms with all your previous, “interests"
However, I do like the idea of something new!

p.s. hope your friends were not too pissed that you were ignoring them, while all this was taking place.

Good evening Mayo.

Good evening everyone.

The past few days have been mentally draining, I am sure we are all in similar positions.

The interview, the anons and the strange conversation that I was involved in the other day have made me feel a great deal of discontentment. Maybe that is the idea - divide and conquer IS prevalent, it is just the instigators we are unsure of. With regards to MY conversation, the possibilities are un-nerving.

Mayo,
We are all split into many and complex personalities, why do you think we all get on so well? As for your ' confident ' other side, his smirk says it all. And you know deep inside that you don't like him, why else would you be pleading for him to embrace you again?!

I am glad we woke you up before you decided to stop singing.

Rub your eyes, stretch and get some air to clear your mind.

And we will be near with a cup of something fortifying to keep you going.
