I have come to terms with the fact that eventually I am going to have to mention it. Will it be with sweeping metaphors or outright denial? Perhaps no one will understand
Well hell, I have to go to bed :/ How am I ever supposed to sleep now??
Regardless, I have to try. We've got children's chorus costume fittings tomorrow and I have a little 19th century dress to finish in the morning for it.
So I shall wish you all - yourself included, of course, Mayo - a fond adieu :)
Mayo, was it really necessary to add the ominous p.s. at the end? Kind of a mind-fuck. Hopefully that is not what you intended after such a kind gesture.
Hey Mayo, also you know, I've been thinking about "best friend" all week. That's what I meant when I said that you really can't bury despair. you just have to cope with it.
If you're online now, do me a favor and google yourself, Ihekoa.
Martha, you are scaring me. But I guess only time will tell. I just want everyone to be okay. I can get over a lot of things, but if someone is hurting than it sucks.
Regardless, it always comes to the feeling of the end. I wonder if Mayo has grown tired of us or maybe too attached. I guess I will just inhale it while I can. And I received something pretty awesome in here. So how could I regret it.
Well Mayo, you did something very kind for one of us tonight who was really hurting. You took the time and put it out there. Thank you.
Thank you for the space you provide for us to talk, cry, laugh, bitch, and gather. We need each other and you. Don't forget that, no matter whoever you are.
Goodnight to you and to everybody else. Sleep well.
I need to spend time with the pups. They are pretty sad considering it's nothing but ice outside. My little one loves the sun, loves people walking in the park, kids, other dogs, and she is miserable being inside so much. Poor thing. I will throw the ball and watch them skid on the wood floors tonight. It's all I can do.
P.S. Thank you K for making it okay to talk about the love of our pets. Pets are love.
Mayonaise, that was very noble and thoughtful for you to do such a sweet thing for Kapunua. For that, it has put a smile on my face and brighten my evening just a bit, but I'm sure it did wonders for our dear K.
To K, I extend my condolences to you and I hope that you will get well soon. I am very sorry to hear about Trisky. Always keep the memories of her alive in you. It is very difficult to lose a close member of the family. My heart extends to you and to her. Please take care and stay strong. I am not good with words, but this is the best I can do for now. Please take care.
Mayo, I'll be honest, That P.S. is causing me to be a bit nervous.
To everyone else, I miss you so much. Apologies for my absence, but the last couple of days have been a bit rough. I shall return soon. Take care and I send my love to all of you.
Mayo who ever you are........ if any of your "shit" hits these nice ladies tomorrow I will somehow hunt you down and kick your ass. Please don't hurt these people.
Hey Toujours, Kapunua, BC, Miss Tottenham && Anima. (sorry if missed anyone!)
*HUGS*
I'm alright, just stressed out over stuff.
Mayooooo, what the hell is with your P.S.?
&&my dear, I thought of you as I was sitting at my work eating French Fries with mayonnaise and ketchup. I can't seem to get you out of my mind while I am working.
Well if it CAN hit the fan tomorrow then there is always the possibility that it won't.
Mayo I've had a bad day and I'm trying not to have negative thoughts but you're not making it easy.
I swear if the ice storm knocks out my electricity leaving me with no computer and you do something dramatic I'm gonna hunt you down. Wait that sounded kinda bad. I'm not threatening I think I'm just asking ....try not to let it hit the fan.
Mayo; here are some lyrics for you. Everytime I hear this song; I Will Follow You Into The Dark by Death Cab for Cutie; I think of you. Why? Because you seem to feel like you are left in the dark. Somedays, I feel the same. Anyways..
Love of mine some day you will die But I'll be close behind I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white Just our hands clasped so tight Waiting for the hint of a spark If Heaven and Hell decide That they both are satisfied Illuminate the NO's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you When your soul embarks Then I'll follow you into the dark
In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black And I held my tongue as she told me "Son fear is the heart of love" So I never went back
If Heaven and Hell decide That they both are satisfied Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you When your soul embarks Then I'll follow you into the dark
You and me have seen everything to see From Bangkok to Calgary And the soles of your shoes are all worn down The time for sleep is now It's nothing to cry about Cause we'll hold each other soon The blackest of rooms
If Heaven and Hell decide That they both are satisfied Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you When your soul embarks Then I'll follow you into the dark Then I'll follow you into the dark
You never cease to amaze me, darlin'. The beauty and simplicity of your post made me catch my breath. The solemnity of death overshadows all other difficulties, making what one might consider an insurmountable obstacle nothing but a bump in the road.
Your PS? Well, my gut feeling is that you're simply saying, Whatever I was going to bitch about is nothing compared to what you've faced today. We can leave mine til tomorrow, it's nothing. After all, we've been encouraging you to talk about your problems, your life, etc. Maybe you'd felt the need to rant, found out about Trisky, and said, oh fuck it, it can wait.
Because you're becoming that kind of guy, to paraphrase our Socky.
Of course, I could be horribly wrong, and your "shit" is something really catastrophic, either personally or professionally. Or both. I sincerely hope not, believe me. The less shit in the House, the better. But if it's bad, we'll be here to help you out.
There's your hand again, I see it stretching out to Kapunua. I think she'll take it this time.
What a sweet, selfless, decent thing to do. Trisky will live on in all our memories. Thank you, Mayo.
I send you love in cascading waves tonight, my brother.
Love all you guys, don't give a flying fuck if we end up at a new blog. I'm at the end of some literary thing that I can't remember now yelling "unmask! unmask!"
Yeah, and email me, because I can't figure out how to get people's email addresses when I click on them, cause I'm confused by the interwebz sometimes.
Well I've been down to Georgia, I've seen the streets in the west, I've driven down the 90, Oh hell, I've seen America's best. I've been through the Rockies, Hell, I've seen Saskatoon, I've driven down the Highway 1 Just hopin' that I'd see you soon.
Cuz I'm comin' home I'm comin' home
Well I've never been to Alaska, But I can tell you this; I've been to Lincoln, Nebraska And hell you know it ain't worth shit. I've been through Nova Scotia, Sydney to Halifax, But I'll never take any pictures Cuz I'll know I'll just be right back.
Cuz I'm comin' home I'm comin' home
Well I've seen a palace in London, I've seen a castle in Wales, But I'd rather wake up beside you And breathe that old familiar smell. I never thought you could leave me, I figured I was the one, But I understand your sadness, So I guess I should just hold my tongue.
But I'm comin' home I'm comin' home
I know that we're taking chances, You told me life was a risk, I just have one last question; Will it be my heart Or will it be his?
Comin' home, I'm comin' home
(I just love it because they mention my hometown, Sydney.)
Hello to everyone who just greeted me. Sorry I'm not ignoring anyone really. It's just I think all the shit from the last few days has caught up with me. You ever just suddenly feel like all air got sucked out of the room. That's what happened when I read the P.S. Maybe I'm overreacting, maybe not. All I know is I'm sitting at this fucking computer crying and that seems wrong. Hopefully I'll see you all tomorrow.
Miss T, I'm doing okay right now. Thanks for asking. How about yourself? martha, I have a couple of the Gals manga but never saw the episodes. So far I read volume one and two and I have volume 4 and 5. paperheart, I missed you :)
whenever Mayonaise does something really nice and thoughtful such as this post (I know it doesn't happen alot, but it's the moments that matter)
I think we are finally starting to see the light and the heart in our favorite condiment, and when he/she shows it it actually makes me happy and beam with pride. I still have a smile on my facr as a matter of fact.
Given the way this month has gone for most of the people here I'm going to say it's not good. But I always think the worst is going to happen.
I'm getting ready to watch the news and they're saying people want to take our caffeine away from us. They want to start putting warnings on caffeinated drinks.
kapunua I caught up on your news, so sorry you had to let her go, but there's the time when that is all you can do. I lost my own dog of 12 yrs about a yr ago, I still remember him and have him buried in the yard. I know Triskie will be remembered by you forever and she'll live on in your memory. Pets are treasures and the time you get with them is precious
Hi there Elena. there is nothing wrong with crying, but we are all here to give out much love and support to you and everyone else whenever you need it *hugs* Hi there ERgo, Cassie, Star. Hi there K's mom!
Mayo, you did such a incredible thing for one of our dear bloggers. Keep it up :)
Oh yeah, K, I think it's from "The Shining" which scared the ever loving fuck out of me when I was about 10 years old. Theatrical movie sucked, tv miniseries much better, go figure. And hey PH and anyone else who greeted me!
elena, sometimes this blog causes such strong reactions. there have been times for me just like you tonight, where something in the words just hits a nerve.
i think it's a good thing. look at it like a trigger, this entry tonight has given you the excuse you needed to just let it all out.
hang in there. we're all here for you, you know that.
I don't want to tell you not to cry, because sometimes, that is all it takes to make you feel better. I know that I felt better this morning after letting a few tears fly.
I love you sweetie, and I hope things get better for you. Chin up, sweetie. =]
Oh yeah, K, I think it's from "The Shining" which scared the ever loving fuck out of me when I was about 10 years old. Theatrical movie sucked,
YOU DID NOT.
Oh man, that movie scared the christ out of me. I still think it's one of the greatest. But yeah, the book was scarier, especially the parts with the furries. Holy christ.
but the movie scarred me for life (the furry part, again,) so you can imagine my surprise and alarm when I first saw the 30 Seconds to Mars video for The Kill. O_o
J said: I think SS might be rubbing off on our Mayo. (Fuck, that sounds worse out of context, doesn't it?) Kapunua said: If by "worse" you mean "hot" then I'm with you.
PH, "(I had a man come into my Native Studies class today and give us a presentation. He changed my whole perspective on the whole death & dying concept.)" That sounds really awesome. P.S. And I feel your pain with working and going to school. Hang in there sweetie.
Thank you sweetie! That man seriously had some things to say that changed my view on so many things. At one point, he was talking about people whose lives were unbalanced on the medicine wheel, and looked over at me and my friend. Then he was talking about how he could sense that 2 people in the room were sad, and looked over at me. THEEN he was talking about how no one in this world is ever alone. We have spirits of our ancestors with us at all times, watching us. When he said that, I got chills.
All of you that are going through stress, hardship, all that confusion, I feel you. Sometimes I don't always say it the right way, but I hope you all get it.
Well got good news and bad news. I found a place to fix my computer that's the good news. Bad because it's christmas instead of taking a week it will take Three.
I dunno, it just struck me that when he read all the info on Trisky, Mayo just said, What do I have to complain about? Nuthin'. Fuck my petty little problems.
Elena, cry your fuckin' head off, honey. If anybody deserves to, you do. It's a good release sometimes. Afterwards you'll feel better, and you'll have a great excuse to eat chocolate (it soothes the nerves). :D
BC, I'm likin' the way you're sounding tonight, honey. Any changes to report?
Bubbles, YAY! No work til Friday! That's good.
Star, L's mum's surgery went swimmingly and she can now see without her glasses! She's gonna get a new 'scrip though. But it's all good! She sends her love, BTW, and should be home on Wednesday.
No I will just be doing what I'm doing now using other people's laptops until mine is fixed. I might get a new one too. The one i have is three years old.
amyranth, i'm still looking at the re-do, but i'm loving what i'm seeing so far -- i forgot to vote, but with results like these, i have no complaints whatsoever! :)
Oh no, MJ! Not a prolonged absence! Just so I can say I did, like my 9 year old has been bugging the shit out of me all week to do, I'm supposed to tell you that Dr. Who rocks, and you have the best screen name ever, and you must be the coolest person ever. There. Love, from Annie.
Op, I'm doing much better today. Thanks for asking although Last night was pretty rough. My mom got sick and my baby sister was an emotional wreck. She was afraid that something serious was going to happen to my mom and most of the night, I tried my best to comfort her and help my mom at the same time.
I think I did okay. My mom's doing better and my sister has been feeling much happier today :) As for progress, I see my doctor again in two weeks and I'm going to see if I get medication for the depression.
I worry about my mom because she gets sick alot and then I worry about what would happen if something happens to her and if I have to look after my younger brother and sister because my older siblings are so busy with work and kids and everything. Sometimes it's hard, but I think we're doing okay now.
Star said... J said: I think SS might be rubbing off on our Mayo. (Fuck, that sounds worse out of context, doesn't it?) Kapunua said: If by "worse" you mean "hot" then I'm with you.
Kapunua, you took the words right out of my mind!
"I said hey, hallelujah, I'ma come on, sing the praise..."
bc, it sounds like you did the right thing. when stuff like that happens, all you can do is take one thing at a time, and helping your sister keep calm and not worry about something that might happen someday is a good thing to do.
even if no one gets me, if i'm the only one laughing at my jokes, i won't hide myself away from life. it's uncertain and it's dirty and it's fucking exciting, and i want to be a part of all of it.
it's too good to waste in hiding.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

From the corner.
I wonder if you noticed all our friends playing Some had never tried before and the result was amazing.
Poems from the corner from the left and right We did our best to keep them flowing Late into this night.
If nothing else was accomplished I hope we made someone see How truly beautiful and amazing a poem can be.

1 – 200 of 1000 Newer› Newest»Oh my gosh, you didn't have to do that. That really took me by surprise. Thank you for that. I'm all teared up now but in a good way.
Ihekoa, your PS makes me nervous though. How many fans is it going to hit?
Mayo, that is truly beautiful. You have a kind and gracious heart.
I can't see it. That's okay. It will be a surprise tomorrow. Thank you Mayo for doing this for Kapunua. I am sure whatever it is, it is lovely.
*hugs you K.
^Agreed.
Anima, it's a picture of my girl.
Wow that is so sweet.
Oh! This is lovely! :)
You've done us both such an honor.
Ihekoa, how is it with you?
Mayo, you keep surprising me, I love it.
That was really lovely for you to do.
Until your PS, that just makes me nervous. Want to hint at it little more?
Um... "hit the fan"?
*does not want to leave the house tomorrow for fear of what I will miss*
I just looked on my phone. K - I'm crying right now.
It's the beautiful picture with the gorgeous big eyes.
Mayo, I'm scared of your P.S.
I'm crying now too, Anima and MissT. But in a good way.
Also nervous as well, Anima.
oh, how kind, how sweet. beautifully done, mayo.
and yet, how nervous am i now because of that p.s.?
MissT, see I'm addicted. I did write some emails. I came back to DM to say sorry to Sdock and popped in here.
New post, and I am so happy the page could load on my phone so I could see the photo. :)
Mayo, that just brought a tear to my eye. That was such a nice tribute.
ps. I had enough of that hit the fan in my basement the other night. I'm still trying to clean that mess up.
How about you just hang loose for a few days? I'll be ready then.
This post is at once a lovely tribute & an ominous omen.
You're a mass of contradictions, Mayo.
Mayo, do we have a reason to be a little worried?
You picked such a beautiful picture too, Mayo.
You take good pics,K.
*hands K a tissue*
I'm so happy for you K. It is a lovely memorial.
Mayo, don't scare us with p.s's like that. Are you OK?
I have come to terms with the fact that eventually I am going to have to mention it. Will it be with sweeping metaphors or outright denial? Perhaps no one will understand
I think this may elude to what will hit the fans
Oh, and for what it's worth, I suspect you're not a fifteen year old INO fangirl.
Just sayin'.
He chose the best one, too.
Thank you, Entropy.
I can't believe how much I've thanked you all in the last few days. ^_^
Anima, we are all addicted, face it.
It is a beautiful picture Kapu
Thanks, Mayo, for doing that for Kapunua.
You're cool, kid.
Well hell, I have to go to bed :/ How am I ever supposed to sleep now??
Regardless, I have to try. We've got children's chorus costume fittings tomorrow and I have a little 19th century dress to finish in the morning for it.
So I shall wish you all - yourself included, of course, Mayo - a fond adieu :)
Til tomorrow!
Goodnight RW
Mayo, if you are comfortable with sweeping metaphors, we are cool with that. Do whatever you need to do.
K, it is such a beautiful picture. So lovely.
MissT, it's true. INHALING....Ahhhh... so good. ;)
Goodnight RW
Good night, RW. Thank you for everything.
Mayo,
You hide that heart of yours for a while, but I see you do feel, it's not completely locked.
You have a heart of gold...protect it.
Goodnight RW. Sweet and happy dreams.
Goodnight RW.
Ha K! Now I can give your words back to you.
You don't have to keep saying thank you, it is what we are all here for sweetie *hug*
Goodnight, RW.
Hello to everyone else.
good night resurrected wreck. ^.^
kapunua, what a lovely expression on trisky's face. dogs always manage to have so much meaning in their eyes.
Goodnight, RW. The costumes sound fun.
Talk to you tomorrow.
Hi Star!
Mayo, was it really necessary to add the ominous p.s. at the end? Kind of a mind-fuck. Hopefully that is not what you intended after such a kind gesture.
That's so true, TJ.
Hey guys, if it's going to hit the fan(s) tomorrow, let's be happy tonight, huh?
Mayo, thank you again.
K, I saved Trisky's picture to my phone. She can live in the gallery with my pups. I think she will like it there.
Hi Star
Anon, I'm not in the mood. Just saying.
Anima, that's so sweet. Thank you for that honor.
Hi star.
*hugs Kapunua tightly*
hey there, star. how's it going?
You know it maybe out of Mayo's hand's now. He may have wanted to give us a heads up but given the events in the day wanted to give us a little time.
K, you're right, let's wait until tomorrow like he said.
Let's all be as jappy as we can.
Hi MJ, Anima, Toujours, Miss T, and Kapunua.
Hey Mayo, also you know, I've been thinking about "best friend" all week. That's what I meant when I said that you really can't bury despair. you just have to cope with it.
If you're online now, do me a favor and google yourself, Ihekoa.
that's a very good point, martha.
That's right, Entropy!
Let's all be jappy!
I reckon we'll have some protocting to do tomorrow!
BTW, Hi Star, TJ, and Entropy. :)
Martha, you are scaring me. But I guess only time will tell. I just want everyone to be okay. I can get over a lot of things, but if someone is hurting than it sucks.
Regardless, it always comes to the feeling of the end. I wonder if Mayo has grown tired of us or maybe too attached. I guess I will just inhale it while I can. And I received something pretty awesome in here. So how could I regret it.
anima, even if this blog were to end tomorrow, our blogtown wouldn't. that's the prize we get to carry away from this, no matter what happens here.
i'm not going to worry about tomorrow. :)
Sorry anima didn't mean to scare you. I'm trying to be jappy but that PS is going to bother me. So I will just Lurk for a while.
Well Mayo, you did something very kind for one of us tonight who was really hurting. You took the time and put it out there. Thank you.
Thank you for the space you provide for us to talk, cry, laugh, bitch, and gather. We need each other and you. Don't forget that, no matter whoever you are.
Goodnight to you and to everybody else. Sleep well.
Goodnight jen
Goodnight, Jennicula
Goodnight Jen, sweet dreams.
Martha, I can't help being worried too.
I am happy for K as this is a lovely memeorial but I am worried too.
Should we post the DM address in case this place vanishes?
good night jennicula, sleep well.
I won't post it cos it's not my place to.
I have to leave soon. :(
I need to spend time with the pups. They are pretty sad considering it's nothing but ice outside. My little one loves the sun, loves people walking in the park, kids, other dogs, and she is miserable being inside so much. Poor thing. I will throw the ball and watch them skid on the wood floors tonight. It's all I can do.
P.S. Thank you K for making it okay to talk about the love of our pets. Pets are love.
Not yet, MissT.
Goodnight Jenn. Jappy Dreams.
Damn it Mayo that was so sweet.
Shit I can't even think of anything to say and that never happens.
As for the P.S
once again words escape me. I hope they haven't escaped you. We need your words. You are one of us.
Goodnight anima
Stress Stress and even more fucking stress.
That is all I have on my plate right now.
I hope you are well Mayo.
Hello Anima. I'll say bye when you leave. :)
Hey everyone here.
Goodnigh Jen. Lets hope aim isn't so mean to me tomorrow.
Mayonaise, that was very noble and thoughtful for you to do such a sweet thing for Kapunua. For that, it has put a smile on my face and brighten my evening just a bit, but I'm sure it did wonders for our dear K.
To K, I extend my condolences to you and I hope that you will get well soon. I am very sorry to hear about Trisky. Always keep the memories of her alive in you. It is very difficult to lose a close member of the family. My heart extends to you and to her. Please take care and stay strong.
I am not good with words, but this is the best I can do for now. Please take care.
Mayo, I'll be honest, That P.S. is causing me to be a bit nervous.
To everyone else, I miss you so much. Apologies for my absence, but the last couple of days have been a bit rough. I shall return soon. Take care and I send my love to all of you.
XOXO,
BC
Hello Ph and entropy
Elena, you are the cutest.
But "One of us. One of us" envokes the memory of a movie scene that still boggles my mind.
Hey Martha =]
*nods to K, cool*
hey there paperheartxx, hi bc, hey entropy. ^.^
*paperheartxx hug!*
Oh bugger.
Seeing Mayo's comment and picture here of Trisky I'm assuming Trisky is now at rest.
I'm so sorry, Kapunua.
It has been a hard week for you and your friend, but I hope you were able to share some good times this past week as well.
Trisky was fortunate to be so well loved, and you were fortunate to receive her love back.
All my love,
PP
Paperheart, I'm sorry you're stressed out. Hope it all gets better soon.
BC, thank you.
Anima, it's always all right to talk about pets. ^_^ They're so much better than people.
PH dear, I totally know where that came from. I just know. Are you okay?
Darling Mayonaise.
Everyone, what time does tomorrow start? It's 9:41pm in Calgary, so if it's "tomorrow" anywhere else, then y'all know nothing's happened.
Nothing is going to happen.
-A
Hi mj, paperheart, squeak squeak, k, Miss T, pickled possom, how is everyone?
BC
PP, thank you so much.
Oh, the news sites report that Kevin DuBrow of Quiet Riot died of a cocain overdose.
That makes his death suckier.
i'm hopping back and forth between this and my livejournal, and over at my lj one of my flist has a fun little haiku generator.
here's mayo's:
me and come here lots
to read my stuff i wont write
ciao for now and see
^.^
K, you're welcome.
Teddy bear, what's wrong little one? Are you okay?
Hi Amy, Anima, Elena, how are you doing? Are your daughters okay?
BC too lazy to sign in her user name.
i reloaded and it's even better:
make myself cool and
put cool stuff on it to have
you think im cool and
lol
Mayo who ever you are........ if any of your "shit" hits these nice ladies tomorrow I will somehow hunt you down and kick your ass. Please don't hurt these people.
I wonder if they ever figured out what happened to that guy from Hawthorn Heights.
-A
Hi bc, amy and elena and PP
sorry, sorry, i'll stop with the haikus now. :)
*goes to play with her own lj name*
Hey BC.
Anon - Don't worry. I won't let this place fall apart.
You'll know where to find us if it does.
-A
Hey Toujours, Kapunua, BC, Miss Tottenham && Anima.
(sorry if missed anyone!)
*HUGS*
I'm alright, just stressed out over stuff.
Mayooooo, what the hell is with your P.S.?
&&my dear, I thought of you as I was sitting at my work eating French Fries with mayonnaise and ketchup. I can't seem to get you out of my mind while I am working.
Hey MJ.
Did you say you liked Gals?
-A
anon, some people are already hurt!
My Mom just sent an email to say how sweet this was, how awesome you guys all are, and that she was all teary as well.
Mom thanks you too, Mayo.
Hey PP. =]
Hi BC, I hope you are feeling better.
Hi paperheart, sorry to hear that you are stressed. *hug*
Yes I did i loved super gals I wised ADV had done the second half those bastards
Oooh Hey Amyranth! =]
K. give your mom a hug for me will ya? =]
Anon @ 11:46
Sometimes prolonging things, makes it more difficult.
Who is Nsi I know its not sign in but who are you
Well if it CAN hit the fan tomorrow then there is always the possibility that it won't.
Mayo I've had a bad day and I'm trying not to have negative thoughts but you're not making it easy.
I swear if the ice storm knocks out my electricity leaving me with no computer and you do something dramatic I'm gonna hunt you down. Wait that sounded kinda bad. I'm not threatening I think I'm just asking ....try not to let it hit the fan.
Mayo; here are some lyrics for you. Everytime I hear this song; I Will Follow You Into The Dark by Death Cab for Cutie; I think of you. Why? Because you seem to feel like you are left in the dark. Somedays, I feel the same. Anyways..
Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NO's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
Cause we'll hold each other soon
The blackest of rooms
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Kapu I know that post was about your dog but..... in that first picture your hair has that anime shine to it. How do you do that????
Mayo--
You never cease to amaze me, darlin'. The beauty and simplicity of your post made me catch my breath. The solemnity of death overshadows all other difficulties, making what one might consider an insurmountable obstacle nothing but a bump in the road.
Your PS? Well, my gut feeling is that you're simply saying, Whatever I was going to bitch about is nothing compared to what you've faced today. We can leave mine til tomorrow, it's nothing. After all, we've been encouraging you to talk about your problems, your life, etc. Maybe you'd felt the need to rant, found out about Trisky, and said, oh fuck it, it can wait.
Because you're becoming that kind of guy, to paraphrase our Socky.
Of course, I could be horribly wrong, and your "shit" is something really catastrophic, either personally or professionally. Or both. I sincerely hope not, believe me. The less shit in the House, the better. But if it's bad, we'll be here to help you out.
There's your hand again, I see it stretching out to Kapunua. I think she'll take it this time.
What a sweet, selfless, decent thing to do. Trisky will live on in all our memories. Thank you, Mayo.
I send you love in cascading waves tonight, my brother.
J
K,
You're welcome.
We're all hurting for you.
Hi all, Bye all.
I just dropped in for some unknown reason. I'm now glad I did. Later.
Hey Elena=]
*HUG*
Hiya PH!
If the shit does indeed hit the fan tomorrow, feel free to bookmark my blog guys. I'll always be around, and you know it.
You're not getting rid of me that easily.
-A
hello
what a nice gesture but hmmmm, the ps is interesting.
well I am feeling better mostly and have done some xmas shopping so that's good
how's everyone?
Love all you guys, don't give a flying fuck if we end up at a new blog. I'm at the end of some literary thing that I can't remember now yelling "unmask! unmask!"
J, that was beautiful! =] *HUG*
Byee PP<3
Hey BC, KD, and PP! Awww, that was kind of fun to write.
TJ, I think I need a haiku.
PH, *hugs*
Hi Amyranth, it's been forever. And I agree "anywhere but here."
Yeah, and email me, because I can't figure out how to get people's email addresses when I click on them,
cause I'm confused by the interwebz sometimes.
K, tell your mom that we love her.
Hey Ergo and Carrie! =]
*HUG*
j., i like that, i like what you wrote. i'm adopting your viewpoint on this post, ok?
Hey, Ergo, Carrie, paperheart and Kapunua's mom.
Wow, lyrics post!
Well I've been down to Georgia,
I've seen the streets in the west,
I've driven down the 90,
Oh hell, I've seen America's best.
I've been through the Rockies,
Hell, I've seen Saskatoon,
I've driven down the Highway 1
Just hopin' that I'd see you soon.
Cuz I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
Well I've never been to Alaska,
But I can tell you this;
I've been to Lincoln, Nebraska
And hell you know it ain't worth shit.
I've been through Nova Scotia,
Sydney to Halifax,
But I'll never take any pictures
Cuz I'll know I'll just be right back.
Cuz I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
Well I've seen a palace in London,
I've seen a castle in Wales,
But I'd rather wake up beside you
And breathe that old familiar smell.
I never thought you could leave me,
I figured I was the one,
But I understand your sadness,
So I guess I should just hold my tongue.
But I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I know that we're taking chances,
You told me life was a risk,
I just have one last question;
Will it be my heart
Or will it be his?
Comin' home,
I'm comin' home
(I just love it because they mention my hometown, Sydney.)
-A
Hey Star! =]
(PH is saying hello as she shes new commenters)
Amy, they said it had to do with his asthma.
Hi K's mom!
We love you as much as we love your daughter.
Hello to everyone who just greeted me. Sorry I'm not ignoring anyone really. It's just I think all the shit from the last few days has caught up with me. You ever just suddenly feel like all air got sucked out of the room. That's what happened when I read the P.S. Maybe I'm overreacting, maybe not. All I know is I'm sitting at this fucking computer crying and that seems wrong. Hopefully I'll see you all tomorrow.
Miss T, I'm doing okay right now. Thanks for asking. How about yourself?
martha, I have a couple of the Gals manga but never saw the episodes. So far I read volume one and two and I have volume 4 and 5.
paperheart, I missed you :)
whenever Mayonaise does something really nice and thoughtful such as this post (I know it doesn't happen alot, but it's the moments that matter)
I think we are finally starting to see the light and the heart in our favorite condiment, and when he/she shows it it actually makes me happy and beam with pride. I still have a smile on my facr as a matter of fact.
Wow I'm such a dork ;p
-BC
Mistress J, I think your opinion of the post is the right one.
How is L's mom?
Amy, good song!
My friend from work HUGGED Dallas Green last night at the Alexisonfire concert. I am truly jealous.
J, I like your view of it, too. I'll keep that one, thanks. ^_^
Carrie: Stephen King, sounds like? IT sounds familiar.
Anon about the hair: I dunno, it's shiny like that. But not as much these days since I started dying it a lot.
Given the way this month has gone for most of the people here I'm going to say it's not good. But I always think the worst is going to happen.
I'm getting ready to watch the news and they're saying people want to take our caffeine away from us. They want to start putting warnings on caffeinated drinks.
kapunua I caught up on your news, so sorry you had to let her go, but there's the time when that is all you can do.
I lost my own dog of 12 yrs about a yr ago, I still remember him and have him buried in the yard. I know Triskie will be remembered by you forever and she'll live on in your memory.
Pets are treasures and the time you get with them is precious
BC, I've missed you too! =[
I don't work now until Friday. =]
But then, on Saturday, I work an 8 hr. shift. =[
*HUG*
anima, it took me long enough, but here's your haiku:
guess what happened
today i don't know but
i got a blog i
^.^
Hi there Elena. there is nothing wrong with crying, but we are all here to give out much love and support to you and everyone else whenever you need it *hugs*
Hi there ERgo, Cassie,
Star. Hi there K's mom!
Mayo, you did such a incredible thing for one of our dear bloggers. Keep it up :)
BC
*HUG* PH !
MJ they cannot take our caffine away !!
:O I am very slow.
Kapunua, I'm sorry to hear about your dog. Just because Trisky is gone from the physical world, doesn't mean her spirit isn't around.
(I had a man come into my Native Studies class today and give us a presentation. He changed my whole perspective on the whole death & dying concept.)
I know it must hurt, but it was her time.
*HUG*
Entropy, that is so sweet.
Elena, don't cry. Let's just worry about it tomorrow, huh?
I'm good BC, I hope you had a good rest. You take care of yourself sweetie, you know where I am.
Elena, don't cry sweetie. I have read what J wrote and I too am gonna hope that that is how it is.
Hey Bubbles, thank you. Hello Star, Amy, Anima, K if you're still here, Carrie, EP. Bye, PP, sorry I missed you.
TJ, you can adopt anything you like, honey.
I think SS might be rubbing off on our Mayo. (Fuck, that sounds worse out of context, doesn't it?)
J
Hi J! I missed you.
.
.
.
My house is creeking. The ice is getting a bit heavy I think.
hello BC good to see you back.
I spent all day in shops with heaps of people, thank god for the peace and quiet at home
Elena cry if you need to everyone who needs to cry cry.
Bc you should see the show it's funny as hell. Amy I haven't read the manga
Kaleido Star,
Azumanga Daioh
Cromartie High School
Excel Saga
Midori Days
Full Metal Panic Fumoffu
Super Gals
Fruits Basket
Gravitation
Thank you EP and PH.
I think SS might be rubbing off on our Mayo. (Fuck, that sounds worse out of context, doesn't it?)
If by "worse" you mean "hot" then I'm with you.
Oh yeah, K, I think it's from "The Shining" which scared the ever loving fuck out of me when I was about 10 years old. Theatrical movie sucked, tv miniseries much better, go figure. And hey PH and anyone else who greeted me!
elena, sometimes this blog causes such strong reactions. there have been times for me just like you tonight, where something in the words just hits a nerve.
i think it's a good thing. look at it like a trigger, this entry tonight has given you the excuse you needed to just let it all out.
hang in there. we're all here for you, you know that.
Hello J and Ep
Hi J. Have you heard from L? Is her mum OK?
Elena,
I don't want to tell you not to cry, because sometimes, that is all it takes to make you feel better. I know that I felt better this morning after letting a few tears fly.
I love you sweetie, and I hope things get better for you. Chin up, sweetie. =]
*HUG*
Well, teddy bear, at least now you can be with us for the rest of the week right? ^_^
Hi there J
BC

YOU DID NOT.
Oh man, that movie scared the christ out of me. I still think it's one of the greatest. But yeah, the book was scarier, especially the parts with the furries. Holy christ.
but the movie scarred me for life (the furry part, again,) so you can imagine my surprise and alarm when I first saw the 30 Seconds to Mars video for The Kill. O_o

Kapunua, you took the words right out of my mind!
Hello Carrie. EP I'm still waiting for the caffeine story to come on.
Alright, time for a present opening.
Mayo, this one's for you.
Let's start our tour in your backyard shall we?
And then, we come through the back door into your kitchen, where I'll spend more than my fair share of the time!
In to the brand new Great Room, much larger and able to accomodate parties! Added Bonus: Already decorated!
Got a little selfish here, adding a library for peace and quiet, for any of us.
Let's head upstairs, to the new bedroom. I hope you like the colors!
And finally, your new Master Bathroom!
I hope you like your new house makeover Mayo. Merry Christmas.
-Amyranth and everyone.
TJ, it is perfect! I suck at haikus.
PH, "(I had a man come into my Native Studies class today and give us a presentation. He changed my whole perspective on the whole death & dying concept.)" That sounds really awesome. P.S. And I feel your pain with working and going to school. Hang in there sweetie.
K, totally got you, movie was truly scary, but the tv miniseries was more true to the book. But yeah--the movie--those fucking twins!!!!!!!!
The Shining did scare the living shit out of me.
But, it is such a great movie.
I really want to see the new Stephen King Movie that came out.
BC, you are correct.
Tomorrow, I have a date with my computer to fix my iPod... all fucking night, baby! ^_^
Amranth,
I NEED THAT KITCHEN!!!!!
AHHHHHH!
I really, really don't like horror movies.
- Amyranth is a baby
Star - I'll fight you for it!!
-A
Amyranth, so that's where we're partying? Cool, I think I'll go hide in the bathroom and post to you guys from my Crackberry!
Anima, *HUG*
Thank you sweetie! That man seriously had some things to say that changed my view on so many things. At one point, he was talking about people whose lives were unbalanced on the medicine wheel, and looked over at me and my friend. Then he was talking about how he could sense that 2 people in the room were sad, and looked over at me. THEEN he was talking about how no one in this world is ever alone. We have spirits of our ancestors with us at all times, watching us. When he said that, I got chills.
I'm out. Jappy dreams everyone. Until tomorrow.
K, thoughts are still with you.
All of you that are going through stress, hardship, all that confusion, I feel you. Sometimes I don't always say it the right way, but I hope you all get it.
It is all about the love and understanding.
Love to all of you.
Well got good news and bad news. I found a place to fix my computer that's the good news. Bad because it's christmas instead of taking a week it will take Three.
damn straight teddy bear ^_^
BC
Kapu - Plbbbpphhh.. Why hide in the bathroom? Does the Library have AIDS or something?
-A
Amy, that house truly is amazing! ^_^
The pool shall be my domain.
Hey BC, Miss T, Elena, MJ!
I dunno, it just struck me that when he read all the info on Trisky, Mayo just said, What do I have to complain about? Nuthin'. Fuck my petty little problems.
Elena, cry your fuckin' head off, honey. If anybody deserves to, you do. It's a good release sometimes. Afterwards you'll feel better, and you'll have a great excuse to eat chocolate (it soothes the nerves). :D
BC, I'm likin' the way you're sounding tonight, honey. Any changes to report?
Bubbles, YAY! No work til Friday! That's good.
Star, L's mum's surgery went swimmingly and she can now see without her glasses! She's gonna get a new 'scrip though. But it's all good! She sends her love, BTW, and should be home on Wednesday.
J
bye anima
:O does that mean you will be gone for THREE weeks Martha?
J, is really is!!
^_^
Sweet dreams anima. Have a good night.
Miss T, thank you. Aw ergo, thank you. It's good to see you too :)
PH - Go right ahead! This is blogbelieve after all, where the tempurature is always perfect for swimming, but we've got a snowman on the front lawn.
-A
That's great about L.'s mom, J.!
Amyranth. Okay, I made the pic of the kitchen my screen saver because it is so blissfully calming.
The library is a close second though.
Mistress J, I'm glad L's mom is good!
Anima,
I love you .
Sweet dreams.
*HUG*
I am off to bed as well. I must sleep so I won't wake up as a TOTAL bitch tomorrow morning. *rolls eyes*
All my love; &a zillion hugs.
- 007
No I will just be doing what I'm doing now using other people's laptops until mine is fixed. I might get a new one too. The one i have is three years old.
good night anima, glad you liked the haiku!
amyranth, i'm still looking at the re-do, but i'm loving what i'm seeing so far -- i forgot to vote, but with results like these, i have no complaints whatsoever! :)
Goodnight, anima, and paperheart
Oh no, MJ! Not a prolonged absence! Just so I can say I did, like my 9 year old has been bugging the shit out of me all week to do, I'm supposed to tell you that Dr. Who rocks, and you have the best screen name ever, and you must be the coolest person ever. There. Love, from Annie.
You know what Mayo's cabana needs? A masseuse. Let's have one. Can we, Mayo? Can we have one?
nighty-night paperheartxx. ^.^
*hughughug*
^_^
You don't know how happy that makes me Amy!
J, send my love to L! And that is great GREAT great news about her mom!!
*HUG*
G'night all! <3
oh that's great for L's mum, bet she's chuffed
Op, I'm doing much better today. Thanks for asking although Last night was pretty rough. My mom got sick and my baby sister was an emotional wreck. She was afraid that something serious was going to happen to my mom and most of the night, I tried my best to comfort her and help my mom at the same time.
I think I did okay. My mom's doing better and my sister has been feeling much happier today :)
As for progress, I see my doctor again in two weeks and I'm going to see if I get medication for the depression.
I worry about my mom because she gets sick alot and then I worry about what would happen if something happens to her and if I have to look after my younger brother and sister because my older siblings are so busy with work and kids and everything. Sometimes it's hard, but I think we're doing okay now.
Star - in order for me to get a kitchen THAT nice, I'd have to get of my entire main floor.
Not possible.
-A
P.S. Martha, remember how you suggested I save for a new laptop? Well I am, meaning I could be on more and more once I get it! ^_^
RAWR.
Goodnight!!
xoxo
Yes, Kapunua, the masseuse is a brilliant idea. He must have strong hands that move fluidly. Like a guitarist's hands, maybe!
Night Anima!
Cool, Amy, good job!

God bless the rubbing off. Truly a miracle.

Goodnight anima and ph
Thank you Carrie/Annie That makes me feel Really good.
Martha/Sherron

And seeing as how he's a masseuse, he can rub off on Mayo?
LOL I kid.*
*Not really
TJ - I didn't get a chance to run a vote, only because of that PS, made me think I should get onto it.
Feel free to add more rooms, right now I'm hunting for a masseuse.
-A
night night and pleasant dreams teddy bear *hugs*
J, I'm happy to hear L's mom is doing okay. That's great news!
Goodnight Anima, talk to you tomorrow.
I'm hope you do get your own laptop ph it will be great to have you here more often.
bc, it sounds like you did the right thing. when stuff like that happens, all you can do is take one thing at a time, and helping your sister keep calm and not worry about something that might happen someday is a good thing to do.
hope it gets better!
well, you did a great job amyranth! i like how there aren't any curtains in the main room for anons to hide behind. ;)
and i think i got some drool on the library. um. i'll clean that up, don't worry.
Kapunua, yes, and I think the massage should take place on the magnificent marble island in the kitchen. That would be pretty, no?
Night PH, sweet dreams.
I know L would send thank yous to everyone who asked about her little Momma. (She's 4'11" and just round and so cute!)
BC, I'm glad to hear you're on the road to Goodville. :) Tell your mom I hope she feels better.
K, tell your mom she's got a great daughter. And she's got to be pretty cool, too. :)
Star, I think our masseur (male version) should be heavily tattooed.
Yais? ;)
J
Goodnight Anima and paperheart.
J, I'm glad to hear about L's mum.
Martha, sorry to hear about the computer.
I want a bar and grill.
Ep you may not have to worry about your Caffeine it seems that it may only be a California thing
Thank you miss t
should we re-do the basement, too, or...?
