The necessary words seem to escape me when I need them most.
As I sit here in this quiet place, I find it difficult to express the entirety of my emotions. I fear that no matter what I write, you will not fully comprehend the impact your thoughtfulness has had on my heart. Could it be that the words escape me? Or is it that the act itself is indescribable? Nevertheless, please accept my humble attempt at expressing gratitude.
You overwhelm me, yet again. Your generosity has renewed my spirit. A gift I will treasure indefinitely.
A kind gesture made its way to my heart. A collection of thoughts, images, photographs, sculptures, paintings, drawings, stories, dirty stories, videos, memories, inspirations, songs, dances, a trip around the world, a mansion, a hand, recipes, poems, puzzles, riddles, and rhymes...they are all amazing. I will spend time admiring each gift, removing them from their boxes, and finding just the right place to keep them.
Soon my gratitude will transcend the buzz, and eventually, I believe you will each hear me. You always do.
Thank you. Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart.
p.s. are we in Texas, again?

«Oldest ‹Older 1001 – 1200 of 2146 Newer› Newest»I was hoping that they would try more peaceful ways.
I think that GW was already changing before he met LynZ. I think that him being caught up with her caused him to adopt her way of life. And I think it goes beyond the stage into the stuff we can't see.
I agree martha, I think the first GW we all knew was the real one. I think that in the early days he was more honest.
Now he knows how to play the media game and manipulate his image. He lies now and that's cos he's learnt how. There was none of that when they started out.
Martha and Miss T - I'm trying to play Devils Advocate :)
Then he needs to not be around her.
Do we then deny him a possible chance at happiness, simply because we don't agree with his behaviour?
But I think the GW that we first got to know was the real GW.
But he didn't like that person and felt that his life was worth destroying, so which is best? The old GW who he didn't like or the new GW that ' we ' don't like?
Remember I'm playing Devils Advocate!!
I also think it has to do with the PR people. They tell them what to say a lot of the times. And most of the time it's fully of shit. And if you are surrounded by shit and feed shit it going to rub off on you. Than you will start feeding those around you the shit you were feed.
I don't know GS. All I know is that whether or not he likes the new him rather than the old him, there is gonna come a time when he realises that lying won't make him happy anymore.
You can't lie yourself to a happier person.
You can't lie yourself to a happier person
That you can't Miss T, that you can't.
Well what if that new person and the happiness they give bring ruin upon him.
But how long before this new GW image stops making him happy and he has to find a new one. Also you change the little things that you don't like about yourself you don't change the whole person. And that is the thing GW not only is trying to throw out the bad things about old GW but the good thing. And what has replaced it is a jaded hollow shell. No one stays the same forever but they also don't change so much that they aren't even the same person.
The sad thing is is that not one single thing about Gerard now is recognisable from Gerard this time last year. NOT ONE SINGLE THING!
There is something seriously wrong with a guy who changes his entire persona. This screams "I need help" to me.
Also you change the little things that you don't like about yourself you don't change the whole person.
What was the outcome of the similar situation with your friend?
But he didn't like that person and felt that his life was worth destroying, so which is best? The old GW who he didn't like or the new GW that ' we ' don't like?
I don't think the dude likes himself these days anyway.
I was reading about Benazir Bhutto in the midst of the chaos that went on today. I'd like to say this kind of thing is shocking. I wish I could say it was, but really nothing is shocking anymore.
K, it is a sad world when we take political assasination for granted.
Although I would say that on this side of the pond, we look across at you with your history of political assasination and scratch our heads as to why no one has killed George Bush yet.
I wish I could say it was, but really nothing is shocking anymore.
It's all too common I'm afraid.
Although I would say that on this side of the pond, we look across at you with your history of political assasination and scratch our heads as to why no one has killed George Bush yet.
Harsh, but true.
GS she left that person but are friendship isn't the same. We used to could just have a good time with each other but now she feels like she doesn't fit in anymore. I tried my best to make her feel comfortable but she has changed so much.
When I say good time I mean we would go to the book store and just chat about silly little books we would come across. Just be little hearted and stuff like that.
That is a real shame Martha.
That's such a shame Martha.
It is a sad world, MissT. And believe me, on this side of the pond a lot of us wonder that, too. >_<
I think its been two years since I last talked to her.
The world is a sad place. Violence is no longer shocking. It is a way of life now
I'LL SMASH YOUR FUCKING FACE IN!
Yup, no one was shocked. You were right Martha.
I thought you had posted on the wrong blog.
Anyone around?
We're all on DM. Hello by the way :)
Hi PH, how are you?
I'm good GS and Miss T.
DM is where the party is at?
I'll pop over there in a second. =]
See you both there! =]
hello ph
Sorry Martha, I didn't mean to ignore you, I thought you had gone :)
Message from Toujours:
this is none of my business of course, but i was just reading the discussion going on over at mayo's about "how gerard has changed" and his marriage and it's weird because i was actually just thinking about this topic today -- his marriage, i mean.
i was listening to tbp on the way home as usual, but for some reason today i was really hearing the emotion in "sleep" -- listening to gerard describing those night terrors, you know? -- and it suddenly occurred to me that if being married to lyn-z has given him a place to rest his heart and be safe from episodes like that, then it's a true blessing, and as someone who wishes him a strong life and a vibrant one, then i can only be grateful to her.
nothing else matters. if he feels like he's a better person because he has her in his life, then that's that, in my opinion.
i just had to say this, even though i can't join in the discussion over at mayo's right now.
HEY MARTHA!! ^_^
It's oh so quiet, shh, shh.
So what's it to be Mayo? The usual Friday post or are you going to sneak one in tonight?
Do you think the blogs are slow because of the holidays or are people becoming weary?
Will you continue to post or will you make a dignified withdrawal?
Questions, questions, I seem to be in perpetual question mode tonight. I think I quite like playing the part of the Devil, does grey suit me? Neither black or white, yay or nay, constantly in the middle.
Mmmm, I'm waffling, ignore me.
Good night Mayo my friend.
Good night everyone.
Goodnight GS.
Sorry guys I had to step away from the computer I didn't say anything because no-one was here.
To TJ I understand what you are saying about having someone to calm those terrors are but you also have to remember that he was with someone at the time so I don't think have someone in his life is going to fix that.
I just don't see it as this great thing. I think that if you have problem like he was describing in Sleep you need to deal with them first than find that special person. Because those problem will just keep coming back to haunt you and ruin your relationship. Also I don't blame Lynz for all the changes it's more that she happen to be the personality that he got caught up in.
Good night GS
The death of Benazir Bhutto shook me up a bit this morning. What is it about women in power that makes them targets?
She wanted to give Pakistan stability and democracy, and she was an amazing speaker.
Pakistan will not be the better for it.
-Amyranth has had a LONG last two days.
I kind of like it slow here, you know?
Anyway, I think we're pretty much alone now; I can always delete this post if things get ugly again.
Story, and pics from today. This is heavy on the graphics and is mostly just pics of my gorgeous little godson and the rest of the family. Oh man, it was beautiful, this is the first time he met any of us and he gave everyone a hug. He also waved goodbye to the escorts who rode with him on the plane from Korea. ^_____^
I don't really like passing judgement on G.Way's relationships, mostly because he probably doesn't care about mine.
However, it sounds to me like she's being perceived as a crutch for him.
Just sayin'
-A
Just saw the Yoda debacle. Now that was fuckin ridiculous.
That was nice Kapu its good to see people open up their homes to a child in need and give them something that may never have had.
Hi Amy
Amyranth, I agree with everything you said. And women in power, well, that's like some kind of primal thing that it seems people can't get past. I think that a lot of people who think they are over it actually aren't. Case in point: our own G-Way. Dude probably really thinks he's a feminist, even while he's degrading his young female fans.
/tangent
Also, I completely forgot to thank Heavenly mother for her kind words. Heavenly Mother, that was so sweet of you. Thank you very much. ^_^
Hey everyone!
It's 2am and my only chance to get on here to finally speak to you all. Why am I up at this time? Let's just say I ate a really bad batch of lasagne ^_^
How was everyone's christmas?
Hello MP and Kapu.
Amy that is how I see her. Nothing against GS and Tj I wish I could see things the was that they do. But I don't believe in that happy because someone else is happy stuff. I've tried doing it. All it did was make me miserable and not want to be around the person.
I just don't understand the changing to fit in fit another person and their friends. To me that is not love.
Kapu - That kid is frigging adorable. Looks like he might be an old soul, so calm where most kids his age would be freaking out.
But you know, kids and pets. Adopted, they're more grateful than any first born.
-A
Hello Jade my Christmas was alright how was yours.
Thank you, Martha. ^_^ Oh man, if I could afford adoption I'd do it in a second. I'd so much rather than have one of my own, you know? But it's hard for a single woman to adopt; the options are so few.
An old soul, Amy, that's exactly it! ^_^
MJ, I agree with you. Depending on another person for one's happiness is a desperate and ultimately lonely choice.
Hey Martha.
That's good to hear. Mine was pretty good thankyou! I got an electric guitar like I wanted, and I got to to see a lot of family that I hadn't seen in a while. So, all was good in the hood ^_^
I'm in a good mood for some reason. Lack of sleep usually angers me, but for a strange reason it's not.

Mayo,
How are you tonight? I hope you are good. Me? I'm okay. I just came home from work and did some something stupid. I wanted so much to be numb that I started drinking. Please don't misunderstand....I'm so far from being a drunk that it's fucking funny. I think I took 5 swallows straight out of the bottle and for like a good half hour I was giggling and laughing at myself. Then, I got in the bath and it all changed. The very things that I was trying so hard to numb were the exact same things that were making me feel and cry. I was sobbing uncontrollably...like one of those almost going to puke cries. Dry heaving and shit...all of sudden...I was that scared little girl. All I ever wanted was to be loved...all I ever wanted was my daddy to be proud of me...all I ever wanted was to feel pretty. But I didn't and I don't...I still don't. Feel me?
It was a stupid, reckless thing to do and it certainly didn't make anything better. I don't like doing it and it tastes bad...makes me want to puke and makes me feel like shit. So why...why did I do it? Because nobody understands, that I can't make myself shut up. Sometimes I just want her to be quiet. Sometimes I don't want to hear the truth. Is that so wrong? Just for a little while, I want to believe that it's all good....that I did good and that my life is just the way it's meant to be. That I haven't let anyone down, that I am loved, and I am pretty.
Well, at least I recognize that I fucked up tonight. Now, I just have to try and not repeat these stupid mistakes. I need to learn to deal with this shit head on...straight fucking on...look it dead in the eye. Am I strong enough? Guess we'll see. Only one way to find out....
Mayo, thank you for listening. That's all I can say...thank you.
So, wishes...wish, wish...what do I wish for you? May you always feel proud, loved, and pretty. And may you never feel you have to cry alone.
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. Painfully honest
Okay just had a problem getting on here. It would load the comment box and most of the comments but not all. it would stop at 12-24.
Aww that sucks. Luckily enough for me, touch wood, I've never had a problem getting on here, no matter the comment number and what not. My connection is really quick, which actually can get annoying since I'm usually waiting around for new comments.
I have high speed as well I think blogger was just being a bitch.
Nasty Blogger.
So hows your day been?
Thankfully I'm not having a problem either, yet.
Although I'm really itchy.
-A
Itchy, amy? Are you wearing your new christmas sweater? ^_^
It's been alright how about you jade and Amy
I've had a lazy day today. I've done nothing but lounge around in my jammy's. It's been good.
Jade - No. My old pajamas. I WISH I got a new sweater. It's DAMN cold in here.
-A
MJ - I don't think I'll ever recover from Boxing Day,
Aaaag.
-A
Really? I'm way too hot. My bed is directly next to the boiler, and I'm sweating up bad =/
Well guys, time for me to make like a baby and head out. Thank you for another great day at BlogBelieve. ^_^ And thanks for all the compliments to that pretty baby. :D
Mayo, if you come on tonight, aloha. Thanks again for this nice post. ^_^ It's the waning moon, so it's time to wish for negative things to leave your life. I only mention that because the moon is rising over the swamp and it's rally cool looking; you might like it.
Goodnight, everyone!
Goodnight k.
I never hello'd amy and jade. hello girls.
I'm off to bed too, have fun everyone and I'll see you tomorrow.
Goodnight Kapu and Miss T.
Well, I guess this is my goodnight too. It's 3am, and I really do need to try and get some kind of sleep.
MAYO:
I never got the chance to say thankyou for this lovely post. I've been away for most of the last week, due to my dad's girlfriend and her kids moving in, and just preparing myself for christmas. I had a lovely christmas, and I really hope you did too.
The new year is ahead, but take time to look back at this year and all of your achievments. Forget about the bad shit, forget about the mistakes, the anger, and the sorrow you may have felt. Grab all of the good stuff and cling on tight, because it will be useful for 2008.
All my love, always.
- Jade
p.s remember me.
Hello Everyone!
I do hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas, filled with family and friends!
Thank you to those of you who remembered me! I love you all!
We are now headed toward the New Year...
Mayo?
Shall we start it off right?
Goodnight Kapu, miss t and jade. Hello mya.
And have I said it enough today blogger is a bitch.
Good evening, all. I am back, a little later than I planned, but back. My brother and his wife Pam got to my Mum and Dad's around 3:00, so I wanted to stay a little longer to spend time with them.
Pam had taken a picture in the summer of my parent's house with the garden and road in it as well. She had them really nicely framed (about an 11 X 14) for me, my sister and my parents. It was so nice to have. This was where my brother, sister and I all grew up.
We had a very nice Christmas, even if it was tiring! My uncle and his wife came up from Florida and spent Christmas Eve with us. Mary (my aunt) is being treated for cancer for the second time; this time she has 3 tumors on her brain. But she has the most postive outlook of anyone I have ever met. My legs were really hurting the other morning, but I looked over at her, smiling and laughing, and my legs were the least of my worries right then.
I told her later that I admired her so much for her attitude, and for being so positve, and she looked at me and said "Honey, what other attitude is there to have?" and just smiled broadly. She is truly a fighter, and I love her dearly.
On another note, J. was showing me the great "Yoda" fiasco from earlier. You know, there is a really thick line between naughty and nasty. I agree that it sounds like a younger person who found a way to get a rise out of us. The best thing to do is to ignore if possible, because it's unlikely we will ever be free of the idiot anons.
As for GW, the attitude, changes, etc., I see all that as symptoms, not causes. I honestly believe that there is an underlying cause or causes that affects every stage of his life. The good heart and sweet soul is in there, I KNOW it is in there.
No one can make you happy, happiness is what YOU make it. You have to be comfortable with and love yourself before you can love and be loved by others. I think he is still working on that part.
It took me a long time to figure out who I am and what makes me happy, and even now, I don't have all the answers. I know a lot more questions, but I am still a work in progress. But I am much more comfortable with myself than I was 10 years ago.
There are parts of yourself you don't want to look at, or meet head on, but sooner or later, it has to be done. My own stare down was not pretty. It rarely is.
ANNNDDD on that happy note, how is everyone? I hope you had a great Christmas!
Love ya,
L.
Hey L Glad your Christmas was happy.
I'm just happy it's over. Crap, that doesn't sound nice, does it?
Hello L nice that you are back I'm glad you had a nice Christmas .
And those are my thoughts on GW as well. Yado... well yado needs a book on how to write erotica and needs to learn when it is appropriate and not
Mayo,
This was such a nice thank you post, and it means more than words can say. Not because it was so nice, but because I just cannot see the Mayo from four months ago writing this. I think we are all learning from each other, and this was just so fantastic to hear.
J. read me this over the phone the other night and I smiled for the longest. You are very welcome, and I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year.
I love you dearly,
L.
Hey where is everyone?
SS,
Thank you for the sweet post on your blog for the Christmas presents. You are right, a true friend loves you no matter what, even when you, uh, writesomethingstupidanddontgetitoffyourblogbefore
someoneseesit or something like that!
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas as well, and a Happy New Year!
It IS all about the love,
L.
MJ - I'm lurking hardcore right now. Waiting for news on Boyfriend's brother's flight, looks like it's going to be late..

Hello amy.
Hey MJ.
I can't wait for New Year's Eve.
I'll be in bed by 10:30. Unless we're having a party here.
-A
Elena,
I know what you mean though! It such a hectic time of the year, but the lull between Christmas and New Year is always nice. J. told me your icon is a pic of you, and you are just beautiful. What is the tattoo of?
Martha,
And tell me, what is a small green dead Jedi Master doing talking dirty about Frank? That is so wrong in so many ways...
Hey Amy!
Love,
L.
Hey L!
Glad to hear your holidays were so soothing.
-A needs a nap.
L that just shows how lovable Frank is. Even a small green dead Jedi Master can't help himself from talking dirty about Frank.
L my tattoo is a vampire drawn by GW.
My other tattoo goes around my wrist. Evil looking roses I like to call them. Also GW art work.
Amy,
I thought about you over the holidays, and hoped you were doing alright. How was your Christmas?
Love ya,
L.
Martha,
True, but it just doesn't sound too lovable when you factor in the fact that it is STILL a small green dead Jedi Master who needs to find another outlet for their...whatever it is...
L.
Hello Elena how are you and your family?
Oh, Elena, that is so great! I have yet to get mine done, but I have got it designed. I want an eagle and a Welsh dragon facing each other, with the infinity symbol wrapped around them. It would be a nod to my heritage, part Welsh, part Cherokee.
But I love the bat tatoo, and even better that you had it done from G.'s artwork.
L.
Hello Amyranth, MJ, Elena, L, and anybody I missed.
How is everybody?
Good to see all of you guys! Original Punks: How are you both?
I think I missed Kapunua... Did someone in her family adopt a child from China? Out paths cross again... My cousin adopted a child from China about 2 years ago.
I think I did pretty good with all the gifts this year... Did I tell you guys that I am Santa Claus? At least in my family...
L.
Quiet and laid back, just the way I like it. Good food, and a good snooze in the afternoon!
I thought of you and J as well. I poked my head in on Christmas Day, but left it at that. How was J's Christmas?
-A
I missed Mya and Katherine. Hello!
Hey Star
Hey Martha. The family is good. Thanks for asking.
L - I'm getting one more tat
I always do things in 3's
Hello star and Mya
Hello, Katherine,
I know what you mean about the assination today. It doesn't bode well for a country in an area of the world that is already on the brink of complete chaos. I haven't seen much of the news today. What are they going to do, if anything, about an alternate candidate?
Regarding G., all you have to do is look at photos or interviews to see the difference in those eyes from a year ago till now. He is still in there, but he is masking it so much. I don't believe he knows who he really is. I think he has been afraid to stop and find out. But I think he would be very surprised to see there is a kind-hearted soul inside. I wonder who he thinks he will find...
Love,
L.
Hey Mj, have you ever watched Hex? My sis in law got me the first season on DVD because she thought I would like it. I haven't watched it yet.
Elena, that vampire is awesome, and so is your hair. I think I may have said that already, but it bears repeating!
Heyyo Star.
I want a tattoo, but I have no solid desire for a specific design.
That and I'm SUCH a control freak I'd have to do it myself.
-A
Hello KD and Star yes I have I saw the second and most of the third season
Okay, MJ, that's a good recommendation coming from you!
L all you have to do is listen to or watch old interviews. Hell listen to Frank and Mikey's recent interview and compare it to some of GW's
Hello, Mya, Star, how are you guys?
Amy, I'm glad you had a laid back day, sometimes it's nice to just have a reflective day. To you and Mya, J. had a good Christmas too, all of her family left Christmas Day on their own power from her Mum's, so that was good!
She and I did our Christmas dinner and presents before I left for my parents. We always take a day for Christmas and birthdays for just us, so that was nice.
Elena,
Do you know what type of tattoo you are getting?
Love,
L.
Thank you star
Thanks Star. I love my hair. It goes all the way down my back. I change the purple sometimes. I also do red, pink and blue.
My kids hate it.
It was nice to have Mayo and SS acknowledge the gifts, wasn't it? Especially SS and his specific thank you's.
But, did anyone else notice that only 23 of the 34 were acknowledged?
Why go to the trouble to specifically thank 23 people and then miss 11?
Something is not right here...
I'm good, L!
Elena, all that matters is that you like it!
Martha,
You are right, world of difference.
It's funny, that interview with Frank and Mikey in Australia, when they talked about the tour rider and Mikey mentioned putting TAB on it to see if they could get it everywhere, J. was yelling, "Mikey! Save the TAB, save the TAB!" at the screen. She is the TAB Queen around here. I call it battery acid, but she doesn't like coffee, so there you go.
I saw a comment earlier today where someone signed in as PG Tips Monkey and I wondered who that was. I lOVE PG Tips tea. It's the only kind we use in the teapot. I will fix a single cup of chamomile or so, but I love the PG Tips.
BTW, Katherine, not sure what this means, but J. said to tell you to be on the lookout for the "Royal Dimensions".
Love,
L.
L - Spider on the back of my neck. My hair will hide it unless I want it to show.
Well Elena if your kids hate it you must be doing something right. So keep it up.
J and KD you guys are so wrong for that.
Thank you Star that's right. I've spent way too many years caring about what other people think. It's my damn hair, it should make me happy not anyone else.
Mya you can believe that I noticed that. I wish I knew why.
L I hate Tab and coffee
Dear Mayo and SS:
I want to believe in you both, but you have made it very difficult for me lately.
Why have you avoided me? Is it because I have too many questions? Is it because I am too sensible, too logical, too rational?
Someone's slip is showing...
And it surely isn't mine.
Mya, who was missed?
Maybe SS, only had time to do so many at once?
I imagine he works retail, possibly he was too tired?
-A
I didn't notice that. Could it have been an oversight?
I'm sure you noticed, Martha.
I'm sure the other 9 also noticed, as well.
Elena,
Just be careful that you don't have people coming up and slapping you upside the head thinking you have a spider crawling up your neck!
L.
I know KD but I just had to make a comment about it.

Martha and Mya,
I really don't think SS would intentionally slight anyone. It may have been that he only specificly thanked ones that were marked for him and and thanked the rest in his general Thank You post.
I'm sure he loved all of the gifts.
Love,
L.
EP? Ergoproxy?
L - people want to smack me up side the head all the time anyway. That will just give them an excuse.
EP? Ergoproxy
Ep= ergoproxy
Elena,
And it will give you an excuse to slap them right back! :)
Love ya,
L.
Elena maybe your next tattoo should be a bulls eye on the side of your head.
The Blog was made for gifts for Mayo, SS, and each other. If a present was not "tagged", I think you could consider it as everyone's.
I am questioning things...
I do not mean to bring an end to the "family" here...
I need certainty, something solid...
I am sorry.
Well, guys, I hate to go, but I am so tired, and need to get to bed at a half-way decent hour.
I will talk to you tomorrow, and hope you have a good evening.
Love. Hope. Faith.
L.
Good night, "OP's".
Good talking to you!
Good night Op J. May you were just putting you feelings out there. Don't worry about. If the alternate universe didn't bring us down your openness won't either
Mya i sent you an email.
Mya i mean my spell check keeps changing it to May.
By the way, what do you guys think of the picture of my Christmas tree?
That is the tree up in your house?
Mya, looks a lot nicer than mine.
I think I'm going to go to bed, to much sleepy.
Goodight everyone, Night Mayo and SS!!
-Amyranth
Mya,
I didn't feel slighted, I think he only thanked people that specifically left gifts for him. Mine was a blanket one, and frankly didn't take much thought or time. I still felt it was appreciated though just by the blanket thanks.
Night, Amy
Wow, Carrie! Where did you come from? Your ears were itching, were they?
Hello Carrie and goodnight Amy.
I wasn't going to say anything but my gift wasn't a blanket one.
hello everyone
well shopping was actually relatively painless and I found s big clay casserole pot at a second hand place for $6.
How are we all this afternoon/ night?
Hey Ergo!
How are you?
Your $6 casserole pot was a find!
I am still afraid to venture to any malls around here!
mya I assumed it was just the tagged gifts but I didn't really look.
I felt a bit overlooked but I also worried he hadn't looked at the others, I hope he did.
I added a note at the end of the gift blog as I added a couple off people who hadn't gotten back to me earlier (mine is a work in progress and I can edit the blog to add anyone/thing in.)
Lord knows how long the trip would take but it took me a fair while with an atls to find everywhere!!
and
knipp knapp and knopp were the dust bunnies TJ found under the couch at mayo's a few days ago
I'm always around, well, ok mostly. I can see feeling slighted if your gift was individualized.
thanks Star!
It's a mimate unglazed clay with a handle, anmd glazed inside. They are asian I'm googling to find out about them,
and I'm watching Jaws again! I love that movie!!
Hi Carrie MJ Elena KD Op's and anyone else
Night Amyranth
Hello ep
Free again!
Hey Ergo!
Okay, Going again!
Night all!
Goodnight KD
where is everyone.
night KD
Hey Ergo
Sorry I keep wandering off to do other stuff. Work! I'm tired of packaging books.
True, I would feel "slighted" if mine were the only gift that was not acknowledged.
The fact that so many were specifically acknowledged makes me question why others were not.
Were the acknowledged a pre-determined percentage? (Every fourth gift, perhaps?)
What was wrong with the others? What do they have in common? That, is the question for me.
Changing the subject... I had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends! Instead of listing for you all the "loot" I scored, I'd rather tell you the joy I received by having everyone gathered at my house, sharing good food, good stories, and laughter!
well i guess I'll be off to bed.
Goodnight.
Your Christmas sounded very nice Mya. well i guess I'm off to bed.
hey mya sounds lovely
We had the immediate family of my hubby together for the first time with his partners family as well.
Though it was raining.
Oooh they've just put him down in the shark cage and the shark is pissed!!!
hubby's dad's partner, otherwise it would mean me lol
oooh it just ate the guy on the boat
the Orca is sinking and Brody is on the mast!!!
See he really did need a bigger boat!
Smile, you son-of-a-bitch!
Hooray he shot the oxygen cylinder and blew up the shark!
The world is safe until Jaws 2
aaaaah I love Jaws I watch it every time it's on,
mya that is a classic line!!
dum dum dum dum (speeding up) dum dum dum dum dum
Black Eyes...
Lifeless Eyes...
Like doll's eyes...
elena as a book seller you may know if it is the same in the US?
Every time I go to a second hand bookstore or stall at a market there is a copy of Jaws. I look for them ! lol
It's like a challenge to find one.
I actually really like Peter Benchley's books
Yep there are lots of copies of Jaws out there. It's been reprinted several times. Did you ever read Beast?
Good Night, everyone!
Carry on...
goodnight mya!
I have Elena, I think it's a good story. I really like that style.
I like Michael Crichton too
night Mya
any book with giant things attacking people is good fun. I taped the latest Godzilla movie the other night. I love them too
I used to watch the Godzilla movies when I was little. They are fun.
So what other authors do you like?
I really like sci fi fantasy - Feist, Anne McCaffrey, Sheri S tepper and the like and crime novels like the Robert Crais novels or forensics as wll as funny stuff, janet evanovich, the Bubbles books um Douglas Adams, terry Pratchett heck I like lots! lol
What do you like?
Depends on my mood. I like Dean Koontz, Sue Grafton, Janet Evanovitch, Jim Butcher, Charlene Harris, James Patterson, Jeffrey Deaver, Lots of others. There aren't enough hours in the day to read and do all the other stuff I have to do.
oh I like all them too. I'm really waiting for Koontz next frankenstein book
Well Mayo,
Another day has come and gone. Can't say it was good, can't say it was bad. It just was. Lot's of days are like that for me. You know what? I hate when that happens. I hate when I realize a whole day is gone forever and I'm never gonna get it back. I think of all the things I should have done. All the things I would have done it I was brave. Nope, I just let time pass me by. Stupid, stupid. I really gotta work on that.
Hope your day was full of all good things. Hope you didn't let a moment go by wasted.
Okay time for my Scarlet O'Hara...."Tomorrow is another day"
Cue music fade to Tara in the background. (Are you getting any of this? Probably not)
Night Mayo.
goodnight Elena
hope you have a good tomorrow
I sit here , still, in a trance and feel a message coming through..
ectoplasmic toujours said...
i haunted your blog tonight mayo
here but not, i left faint messages elsewhere for those astute in discerning the vibrations to read
i hovered in the corner
by the spiderwebs and listened in on my friends' conversations and
waited for you
and i'm afraid it has left its imprint on my head tonight
my thought are like threads, thin and difficult to bundle together
but not unpleasantly so
it is an altogether liminal feeling and rightly so for these liminal days
holding one's breath for the new year and the new life
determination to
~be~
oh dear
losing cohesion time to return to the spirit world
good night
good night
sorry to have disturbed your dreams mayo rest and dream again
Dearest Mayo,
How was your day? The year is rapidly drawing to a close.
Are you thinking of the past?
Do you have regrets?
Things you are proud of?
Moments you wish to replay again and again, so you never lose their special quality?
Moments you would rather forget?
Things you wish you'd done differently, chances you could have and maybe should have taken?
Things you wish you could freeze in time so you can go back and examine them like a precious stitch in the tapestry of your life?
Things you are so grateful to have experienced?
I hope you can replay your year with joy far outweighing any sadness.
And that as you look to the year ahead you see opportunity and happiness.
A life to live with ones you love, to create moments you can hold dear all your lives.
Take some moments to recall and relive, the good and the bad, for that is how we learn and grow.
Wishing love, joy and serenity to you and yours.
Much love
xx
Good morning Ergo, Mayo, SS, lurkers, anyone still around at this ungodly hour (it's 3:22 a.m here)!
How is everyone today? Good, I hope! Are you all ready to begin a new year, a new chapter, a new lease on life??? I CERTAINLY AM!
Not that 2007 was a bad year for me. Quite the contrary! No natural disasters here! Death did not visit as much as it has in past years........All in all, it was a pretty darn good year.
I hope it was for all of you as well AND I hope 2008 is even BETTER, for us all!!!
Sentimental, romantic fool that I am; I wanted to share this with all of you (some of you have received this elsewhere *nudge wink*):
Reason, Season and Lifetime
..
People always come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.
When you figure out which it is, you know exactly what to do.
..
When someone is in your life for a REASON,
it is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty,
or to provide you with guidance and support,
to aid you physically, emotionally, or even spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend to you, and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
...
Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
...
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they just walk away.
Sometimes they act up or out and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and it is now time to move on.
...
When people come into your life for a SEASON,
it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn.
They may bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.
And like Spring turns to Summer and Summer to Fall,
the season eventually ends.
...
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons;
those things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person/people (anyway);
and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas in your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
Thank you for being part of my life.
~~~~~~~~~
Thank you all for the friendship and love you have shown!!!!
LOVE and HUGS to all!

GOOD GRIEF! I think I have 'killed' Mayo's blog again....
Please forgive me, Mayo!
*bats eyelashes*
Please!!!!!!
Bellatrix,
Gratia Ago Tibi, Amicus (because I can totally rock last season Latin)
Gratias tibi ago, amica.
You do not rock. You fail.
Morning Mayonaise,
I don't think you killed it Anon616, Mayo's like cockroaches and Cher and has already survived a 'nuclear winter'!
So now I'm just counting down the days until the end of the year, when hopefully my friends parents scarper off to the country and I can take my rightful place as a London city girl. I may even get a life. Fancy that!
Ta to SS, poor fool - lulled into thinking I have 'talent'. Mwahahaha!!
Love,
Kass xx
Ooh, I get it, Anon - it's SS's thank you note to Bellatrix.
It's Christmas. Be nice!
Kass xx
P.S. "All by myself, don't wanna be, all by myself, aaannyymmoorree!!"
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy, when skies are gray, you'll never know dear, how much I love you, please don't take my sunshine away.....
Hello Cuppy,
I trust this December evening finds you well - it's what, 11pm where you are?
I am having a congealed mashed potato pot and left-over chocolates for lunch, whilst counting down the seconds until I can go home. It's that kind of 'blah'-type day...
Kass xx
Aww Kass, never fear. cupcake is here!
And yes, it's about 11pm, well done you!

Title: Thank God I'm Pretty
Thank God I'm pretty
The occasional free drink I never asked for
The occasional admission to a seedy little bar
Invitation to a stranger's car
I'm blessed
With the ability to rend a grown man tongue-tied
Which only means that when it's dark outside
I have to run and hide can't look behind me
Thank God I'm pretty
Thank God I'm pretty
Every skill I ever have will be in question
Every ill that I must suffer merely brought on by myself
Though the cops would come for someone else
I'm blessed
I'm truly privileged to look this good without clothes on
Which only means that when I sing you're jerking off
And when I'm gone you won't remember
Thank God I'm pretty
Thank you God
Oh, lord
Thank you God
Oh, oh and when a gaggle of faces appears around me
It's lucky I hate to be taken seriously
I think my ego would fall right through the cracks in the floor
If I couldn't count on men to slap my ass anymore
I know my destiny's such, that I'm all stocking and curl
So everybody thinks that I'm a fucking suicide girl
Thank you God
For the occasional champagne I never asked for
The occasional admission to a seedy little bar
Invitation to a stranger's car
I'm blessed
With the ability to rend a grown man tongue-tied
Which only means that when it's dark outside
I have to run and hide can't look behind me
Thank God I'm pretty
Thank God
Thank God
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you God!
*Just wanted to sing this. If you're clever, you'll get what it means.
Jeez, I know - being stunning is a chore isn't it?
But seriously, I went through a period of wanting a nose job more than oxygen but I'm past mutilating myself now. I think it was Kapunua who earlier said that being beautiful would have made her lazy and I totally agree - I'm lazy enough anyway!
Weirdly, women tell me I'm pretty but men tend to go for 'terrifying'!
Kass xx
Goodmorning Mayo
You are no longer painting this s**t all the colours of reality?
I've often wondered about that line.
I always understood it to be that you were trying to recreate a copy of someones life and a world that already existed.
Sometimes I also thought maybe you were trying to create a more normal world where you could express yourself as a person with your own personal traits coming through. We all do that to some extent here, trying to regain who we really are.
Either way I feel you have come to a decision. I'm just going to reach out and say if it feels right, it is right. Run with your instinct on this one. Your comments lately have been pointing towards a more confident self awareness. You come across now as a more healthy balance of stronger, yet more caring.
Waiting here for which way you will turn.
P.S. Now that you have put down your paintbrushes who do I talk to at this time of night about 30,000 Years Of Art - a fascinating book weighing so much you'd suspect the early years actually contain the original cave walls the artwork is on.
Hi Kass and cupcake, if still around.
Hi PP!
Maybe Mayo's been inspired to put away the paints and is making his reality out of plasticine?
I'm currently doing a Hayley Williams (Paramore) for her 'biggest fan' who happens to work in my office. I also had my first commission - my boss' wedding cake toppers!

Martha Jones said,
I think that GW was already changing before he met LynZ. I think that him being caught up with her caused him to adopt her way of life. And I think it goes beyond the stage into the stuff we can't see.
I agree MJ. I think he has been supressing himself trying to be the oldest son, the good sensible job, and the big brother. Once he nade the step into music he was continually on the road away from home and the parental eye. He was less supressed by conventionality, with more freedom in his new job. Then Mikey left this year and he no longer had the big brother role that connected him to his old life. He had complete freedom. He went as mad as a kid leaving home for the first time. That's why we ended up with a 30yo behaving like a teenager and messing up his friendships over a girl that was effectively his first uninhibited, unfettered sexual liason.
So long theory short, yes he was changing and it culminated in something that has ultimately made him more confident but he is still shaping himself on others. I don't think he can help it actually. Just like some people can hear someone speak and without consciously knowing it adopt the speakers speech pattern or accent, GW does it with personalities and behavioural patterns.
Kass, just so you know I'm not saying I'm beautiful. I'm ok to look at, and sadly in this world that's what you're judged on.
Some people think if only they were prettier they'd have it better, you know?
And that's bullshit.
Hi Kass!
I hope he has a lot of plastercine!
Fantastic. You are now officially a commissioned artist.
They know not to eat the toppers right o_O
*vision of bride and groom with black and white plastercine grills*
Hey errbody!
Mayo,
You okay? That's all I want to know right now.
XOXO,
S&V20
V. interesting theory PP and it does make sense. There was that interview in Kerrang! last week where he said that he decided with one week to go at the end of the European tour that he was only going to do stuff that made himself happy. Then he dumps the fiance and starts behaving like a doofus.
If only he'd taken his behavioural template from Linkin Park he could have have quit smoking!!

first uninhibited, unfettered sexual liason.
A response to teenage years not allowing full emotional development. When this has been accomplished, the marriage will no longer make sense to him.
Hello lovelies!
Sorry my computer is being sloooow!
*hugs*
Kass, just so you know I'm not saying I'm beautiful. I'm ok to look at, and sadly in this world that's what you're judged on.
Noooooo!!! I totally get the poem/song/whatever. I can say you're beautiful 'cos you are, but I was referring (in my head, so obviously you wouldn't get this!) to the people in life who have a position of priveledge purely based on looks, then moan about it. Jessica Alba, this means you, because you sure as hell can't act!
Some people think if only they were prettier they'd have it better, you know?
And that's bullshit.
And you worked this^^ out about 8 years before I ever did. I was once diagnosed with Body Dysmorphic Disorder - I literally wouldn't leave the house some days if I had a pimple - but I've simply grown out of it, and I'm almost at the point where I couldn't give a toss what I look like.
Almost!
Kass xx
Hi S&V20 and Anon.
*hugs back Cupcake*
Kass,
Heck yes. The other band members are responsible for their instruments, GW needs to do the same for his voice. Chester has been in the game for a while and even with his harsh style of vocalisation, his voice was perfect live. Better lifestyle choices paying off.

- Interesting, very interesting!

Maybe, maybe not. Pride may make him persevere as he burnt bridges for this marriage.
I noticed that too CC & Anon.
It makes me wonder what exactly he & The Dark Mysterious One were they up to for 6 years!
Maybe she was his imaginary friend?
Kass xx
*hugs for Kass*
It's funny, but it took me a while to figure I'm ok looking....
Always thought people were lying.
Some times I still do.
I think 'you haven't seen me first thing in the morning'.....
Anyways, interesting talk going on around here, and as usual, I'm not sure what to contribute!
