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

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

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

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

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

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

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

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 1940 Newer› Newest»Hello thar, Paperheart!
You doin' okay today?
Elena:
Karma. It'll come back and bite 'em in the ass for being mean. They'll get theirs, just remember. You just be as nice as you can and you too will get that back sometime, tenfold.
Winnie ze Pooh? He's so cute.
Hey Mustard.
Baths in -20 weather are so nice.
-A
Mustard, I am doing just dandy. How are you doing?
Amyranth, I agree with all of my heart!
Winnie the Pooh is from the 1960's I've had so many people want to buy him cause he's much nicer than the light-ups made now.
He's just another of the weird things I've got here. I used to put so many of them in the front window up unfortunatly I've had people steal things out of the window so I can't anymore. Oh and I put up an aqua small metal tree with Skelanimals ornaments.
I hope you weren't taking a bath outside!
You'd be a popsicle if you got out and that'd not be good.
I just went to the MCR website and noticed that you cannot download House of Wolves as a ringtune from there, but you can from my cellphone provider.
Odd.

Paperheart:
I'm doing alright. Glad to hear you're well!
Elena:
Your bookstore sounds so inviting. I'm sure your customers appreciate that. Seems like a good place to...read a book I s'pose :)
That is odd, Amy.
Must have some sort of contract with the provider you have that says they can only do that through them. Doesn't make sense that it's just one song though.
Elena,
Did you know that Winnie the Pooh is named after my city?
Winnie = Winnipeg.
^_^
That makes me proud. =]
MIB; I am glad to hear you are doing good! =]
IMPORTANT THOUGHT FOR TODAY
K;
Is that John Lennon?
27 years ago today..
:|
R.I.P. John Lennon
<3
Thanks for that Kapunua.
May he rest in peace.
I really miss him. Damn, I wish I was around when I could say that I "knew" John Lennon.
A genius in his own right.
A philanthropical individual.
A truly remarkable man.
Pisses me off that people feel the need to take another person's life for reasons which his were taken.
Paper I had heard that Christopher Milne had named his teddy after Winnipeg, a bear he and his father saw at the London Zoo. Didn't realize the bear was from Winnipeg. I've heard you have a lovely city. I would love to visit there some day.
MIB,
It makes me mad to know that the dude who killed him is still alive. Even though he is in jail, it still makes me angry.
Elena,
If you ever came here, I'd have to take you everywhere. =]
Kapunua:
You may be able to tell me, but do you know if Chapter 27 has come out yet?
I was interested in seeing it, and since it has Mr. Leto in it, I figured you may have already.
I was decorating my parents house for Christmas when the news about John came over the radio. I simply sat down and cried.
Yes, that's Johnny. I'd have to say he was my first musical crush. I was eight years old when he was killed and I remember it like it was yesterday.
My Mom was cleaning the house because there were people coming over. I was going to go clean out my hamster's cage. He was a little white hamster named Snowball. When I went to move him he was cold and stiff; I assumed that he was dead though at the time I'd never seen any dead animals before, so I wasn't sure and I had my Mom come and check. She buried him for me in a little shoebox.
A few hours later I was sitting on the steps still crying and at waiting for my Dad to come home from work. My Mom, who was still cleaning, turned on the radio. I'm not sure why it wasn't on earlier because usually the radio was always on at my parents' house.
I wasn't really paying too much attention to what people were saying on the radio, but for some reason I couldn't fathom, they were playing all my favorite songs. Like Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, Hey Jude, Revolution, Nobody Told Me There'd Be Days Like These, Imagine, Come Together, and Starting Over. At the time I figured that it was just that someone knew I was sad and was making it so that all my favorite songs got played on the radio.
Then I saw that my Mom was crying and I figured that she was just crying over Snowball. When I finally asked her what was wrong, she told me that John Lennon had been assassinated. (This was how I found out what that word meant.) Then she told me that all those songs I liked, he had written or co-written most of them.
But it wasn't till I was around sixteen that I got kind of obsessed with Lennon. I had like a posthumous crush on him after I watched Hard Day's Night and Help. The reason for the crush was because he was so damn snarky, but so damn funny. I used to try to copy all of his snarky lines and inflections. It wasn't so much what he said, but his deadpan, unflinching delivery and comic timing. Oddly I rather loved him as a comedian as much as a musician. I actually still, to this day use a lot of his lines from those movies.
Anyway, so my enduring crush on "Help" era John Lennon, yeah.

LOL. Can we say MAJOR BOYCOTT? I love Leto and I've seen almost everything he's been in. But this movie needs to be run over by a train. I'll never buy it, never download it, never support it.

They put rabid dogs down; I don't know why people like this are still alive. Not only to kill another person because YOU ARE A SOCIAL RETARD, HELLO, but to shoot someone in the back like a coward.
It wasn't so much what he said, but his deadpan, unflinching delivery and comic timing. Oddly I rather loved him as a comedian as much as a musician.
Yes, that's so funny because that's what I remember about him through interviews and things. Not only for his impressive lyrical and musical talent, but because of that dry, unwavering humor. He's someone I could listen to all day long.
It's odd how those things happen, your little rabbit and Lennon. Kinda makes it twice as hard in a way. I guess that's just how things pan out.
Kapunua, Elena, *HUG*
I wasn't alive when John Lennon died, but I've always liked the Beatles. It was just recently that I really began to listen to them more.
Hey Jude is my favorite song. It just helps me think and figure shit out.
Have you seen it though? Would it be worth my time or should I just go look at some really good documentaries that aren't Hollywood-ized?
I can't name a favorite Beatles song.
I love "Here, There, and Everywhere" (notice Mayo's probably reference).
Favorite Lennon song, I'm a loser, but I totally heart "Imagine."
I too loved his deadpan humor. The old interviews are so fun to watch. It was like he was answering nicely but smirking at the world and you knew it. I still get choked up when I listen to "Imagine"
Wow. I've never heard "Imagine"!
I simply sat down and cried.
Elena, that's probably all anyone did, save for the people that wanted the man dead and out of the country.
I see Lennon's death as a major turning point, not only in music history, but also US/World history. It was that big to those living during this time, and it has still had an effect on the later generations.
I rank him up there with JFK, MLK, help me out here, all the greats in our society. He was that big.
Paper maybe I'll get to your beautiful city one day. I hope so. I would love for you to show me around.
Aw, Paperheart. Go Youtube it and listen. You won't be sorry.
Hi Chickadees!
Whats's happening or not happening?

I will never. Never, ever. EVER. EVER. Watch Chapter 27.

Oh, HONEY.
I'll upload it for you, PH, gimme a second.
Elena,
While you are in Winnie with PH, can I work in your bookstore and get the hell out of the tax office?
A bookstore sounds so nice...but I guess people are people everywhere you work.
Hey Sdock!
We're talking about John Lennon.
That's pretty much it!
How are you doing today?
ph,
you MUST listen to Imagine.
Your life will never be the same.
Ohh wow. I have heard "Imagine".
I really wasn't expecting this song though. It actually brought me to tears.
*jots down note*
"DO NOT WATCH: Chapter 27"
Thanks Kapunua. :)
Hey Mustard,
I'm kind of sinusy today. I tried to take a nap but my heard hurts and my nose keeps stopping up...was that too much info?
Sorry...
Other than that, I'm alright I suppose.
I hope you feel better Sdock!
*HUG*
Amazing, eh?
I want to dream like he does, but there's too much fucked up shit in this world. It's gotten 100x worse than when John was attempting to fix the problem, and I don't see a way out of it.
That isn't to say I'm not trying. It's just way harder.
It's over 80 degrees here and I wore flip flops this morning...I couldn't even lay in the hammock because it was too hot.
...what a way to celebrate December in Georgia!
...just saying
Heat wave? Gross.
I feel the same way Mustard.
Sdock,
It is -25C here, and it's 80F there. =[
Be happy you are warm.
sdock if you lived in Kansas Honey, I'd hire you in a minute. Right now I have four employees and only one of them really works. Oh no I'm gonna start to whine again. Stupid Christmas lights won't work. I don't need lights in the window do I?
In the meantime, here are some of the funniest parts of "Help."
"Stop trying to drag things down to your own level. It's immature, son."
"I wouldn't touch you with a plastic one." (I know I've used this one here, actually.)
"It WAS you buzzing. You naughty boy!"
"I like a lot of seasoning in my soup."
"You're another failure, aren't you, scientist?" (I use that one a lot, too, replacing "scientist" with whoever I'm talking to.
Ahh, good times. ^_^
Hi, Sdock! WAY too hot for December.
Mustard, you can watch Chapter 27! That's just a personal decision for me. You know, boycotting things is sometimes the only way I feel like I have any say in anything. It's a "me" thing. ^_^
PH, I'm glad you've heard "Imagine." I won't upload it then. ^_^
Elena,
I could never survive in Kansas. Too cold.
Fuck those Christmas lights!
Were you anal retentive as a child, Kap? ;)
No, I trust your judgement. I don't want to see a Hollywood version of one of the most uncalled for deaths in history. I'd rather watch real stuff.
Hey K!
Yep WAY too hot, but I'm used to it. And it is so pretty, blue sky, fall colored leaves, and you can sit out and get a suntan. All 2 weeks before Christmas...sweet!
Guess we won't be able to build a snowman....oh well, guess some won't be able to wear shorts and flip flops!
Kapunua, Imagine is an amazing song. I'm listening to it on repeat right now.
That does it. I'm moving to Georgia.

Speaking of things in history, yesterday was also the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Just throwin' it out there.
*remembers a really rude joke about Pearl Harbour Day.*
*decides to not tell it*

Pearl Harbor is a good movie.
I bet the real thing was not like the movie though.
Alrighty guys. I'm off for awhile. I'll be back in a few. Have a good day!
Guys;
I am off for lunch and to go buy some candy and coffee.^_^
I'll be back later. =]

Come on Amy...which one of the trains will you take to get here?
I'm waiting...
Bye Paper
sdock THANK YOU
Fuck the Christmas lights
Bye Bye Mustard
Elena,
I'm sorry I didn't really get to talk to you the other day when you were having such a shitty one.
I apologize for that.
Yeah and fuck those lights.
Ok, so I'm off again.
Catch you later on...
Mayo, you know I'll have something just for you...just like always.
Love you ALL!
sdock don't worry about it. I gotta tell you the truth. Sometimes you help me without knowing it. I read what you write to Mayo and it really touches me. You have a gift woman. You have a wonderful way with words. A born writer.
hi and nice afternoon/evening, how´s everyone ? *hugs*
Hey Pixie...How are you?
Afternoon everyone :)
Hey, I'm back for a second. Just visited VV's and someone has posted an excerpt from AP and from MSI's site defending the crude lyrics and presentation of the band.
I think it's laughable, but go take a gander. It's an okay read for what it is.
hi rw and elena :)
I´m fine elena, how about you? still fighting with the snow? :)
Hey everyone!
Lots of people came in while I was gone :)
Hi everybody how are you?
Can someone give me the link to VV's blog please.
Kapu i hope things are a little better for you today.
Hi Pixie! Hi Mustard & Elena!
Hey RW How are you?
Pixie we are waiting on an ice storm

^Verita's blog, MJ.
Hi Elena :) I'm well, though stuffed! Just got back from an excellent brunch with friends. The way I feel now, I'll never eat again!
an ice storm? wow ....
but at least you have winter... we should have winter too, but it´s raining and stormy. I was shopping with some friends today and greenpeace made a demonstration the motto wa skinda "snow back, stop the global warming" and they were walking on crosscountryskies.... but honestly they´re right, we should have snow now... I bet now the finns are afraid that they´ll have a black christmas...
RW I'm here at work all day and didn't bring anything to eat. So I've been eating Atomic Fireballs all day.

What are atomic fireballs??
Hi rw and thank you.
atomic fireballs? what´s that??? :)
Hello Elena and pixie. RW once again hello.
Heya MJ :) How's your weekend been so far?
Pixie I wish I could send you some snow...
What are Atomic Fireballs? Are you serious? Very hot hard candy. I love them!!!
Are they like cinnamin hearts, Elena?

jep I was serious, never heard off that fireballs before *lol* stupid european me ;) *lol*
RW right now I have a headache and sinus problems. So not so good at this moment. But how is your weekend so far.
Hotter than c hearts. They make you go whoa doggie
awww elena would be cool if you could send some snow *lol* ;)

They sound intriguing!
Hey Martha didn't see you there
So no-one else thinking that "Space.
Let me get the door for you"
is a euphemism for "f*** off out of my life"?
That's the first thing that sprang to mind before I checked everyones' comments. Maybe I'm just paranoid!
I'm off to check out the Golden Compass so I'll love you and leave you for tonight,
Kass xx
P.S. Thank heavens for post scripts...
That sucks, MJ :( S&V has been suffering from a headache today too. Might be a seasonal thing. I get migraines when there's a change in air pressure.
My weekend's been fine so far. i had hoped to get a tree & my Christmas decorations up today, but I've got cleaning & organizing that needs to be done first. So maybe tomorrow. Or next weekend...
hi guys! hope everyone is great! kass i'm seeing the golden compass tomorrow. i hope mayo doesn't mean what you thought????
So no-one else thinking that "Space.
Let me get the door for you"

A "There's the door, don't let it hit you on the ass on your way out" sort of thing? I'd wondered, which is why I asked Mayo near the beninning of his new post whether it was a door to enter in or exit through. It sounds to me like he's getting ready to do something. Not sure just what though - spill the beans on his identity? Close down his blog? Spill the beans on his identity and close down his blog?? Time will tell, I guess.
thanks rw *laugh* the whole rain drives me crazy *lol*
hi faraway and kass how are you?
hello girls...and Mayo!
How are you all??
I'm super jappy today.
A friend of mine offered me today a job as a radio announcer, it took me by surprise.
It is like a contest, I have to beat 3 other girls in order to win.
Will you vote for me, ladies?
Kapu, I'm so sorry to read the news about Trisky, but there's always hope, isn't it?
Once I had this wonderful dog named Gorbi and we found out that he had cancer.
We took a chance and they gave him chemo.
He survived and live many years more.
Mayo, don't leave the door open! We don't want a mosquito invasion, do we?
Well rw its good to hear for the most part you weekend is good. I hope you end up getting your decorations up.
Right now the headache and sinus stuff is just annoying you know like one of the anon vultures. I took something for them so I should be find in a while
Is it just me, or has anyone else here been noticing their skin getting really dry and itchy lately? It's a weather-elated thing, I'm sure of it. I had to buy some emergency oily bath products. I'm going to soak in an oil slick tonight!
yes RW dry and itchy and i don't live anywhere near you!! weird.
Hello Andiebomb :) Tha is great news about the contest! I would totally vote for you!
I am also jappy this weekend. Have had great company, great food, and great rest, and it's only Saturday afternoon!
Thanks Andiebomb, but no, not this time. She's not a candidate for any of that kind of treatment. This is too aggressive and fast-moving and has already metasticized almost everywhere. It's just a matter of making the most of what little time there is left and making her as comfy as possible.
My friend from work who moved away last year just emailed me. She just found out that her beloved dog--and this dog was like the only thing that got her through two messy breakups and her father's illness--also has cancer and she's putting off the inevitable. My boss's dog was just diagnosed with it, too.
I don't know if it's because dogs are tending to live long enough to develop it, or if it's environmental, but you see it so much it's ridiculous.
yes RW dry and itchy and i don't live anywhere near you!! weird.
My hands are the worst, FASC. They're dry and cracking, and the cuticles are out of control. I need to go in for a manicure ASAP!

Yeah, it's seasonal. I run a humidifier all the time and I take oil baths, too.
See if you can get your hands on some pure shea butter and / or jojoba and stick those in your bath. They are miracle workers.
Stay away from soaps that have a lot of detergents, fragrances or dyes. Use soaps that have as few ingredients and preservatives as possible. Kiss My Face is pretty pure; I rely on that one.
Glycerin soaps smell nice and they do make your skin softer, but at a great cost if you use them in the winter. Glycerin does work: it makes your skin feel soft and moist. BUT. That's because it gathers moisture from the environment (you see how water beads up on it when you leave it overnight?) This is fine if the humidity in your house or outside is over around 40%. But if the humidity is low, then guess where glycerin takes moisture from to put on top of your skin? It takes it from the very fragile new cells underneath, and damages those cells. So only use glycerin soap if you've got a lot of environmental moisture in your house.
AND FOR GoDSAKES STAY AWAY FROM ANYTHING PETROLEUM bASED.
i've been checking out the pics on buzznet of MCR in k. lumpar (is that spelt right?) gerard is looking very much like old gerard with his hair flat and longer. kinda made my heart hurt for a sec. not sure how to link anything. i'm pretty piss poor at that kinda thing. MJ you're good at that aren't you?? caliw has posted them on gway forum, stripey top GW and if this is old news and i'm being my usual late self feel free to tell me i am a twat! i won't mind!!
Manicurists tend to use a lot of chemicals, too. Nail polish remover is actually really bad for you. Stick with natural products and oils like jojoba. Even olive oil, if you don't mind the greasiness, is good.
hi andiebomb and kapunua :)
Well rw its good to hear for the most part you weekend is good. I hope you end up getting your decorations up.
I think that may end up having to wait. My place is a mess! Got to get that sorted first. And besides, it's cold outside but nice and snuggly warm in my flat. I had been thinking about venturing out to the mall this evening, but I think I want to stay in. We'll see.
Right now the headache and sinus stuff is just annoying you know like one of the anon vultures. I took something for them so I should be find in a while
I usually drug myself into oblivion when i get a migraine (which is, mercifully, rarely). Trouble is, the one medication that always works for me is one that makes me drowsy, so I can't take it at work,
Hi ladies!
How are you?
Hello kapu, fasc and hello Ab how are you guys?
my hands too RW and K. i call them 'new baby' hands when you have a newborn and you wash your hands to death and then scrub everything else in the house and wash and sterilise baby bottles. but i have no tiny babies anymore so i think i just do too much housework and shit. thanks for the advice K.
hi Siobhan how are you?
Rw I have a medication prescribed by my Dr. The only problem it messes with my asthma. medication it makes And if I take Advil with that medication it makes me sleepy as hell.
Thanks for the moisturizing info, K :D I actually stay away from glycerine soaps year-round. Just don't care for 'em.
My friend (also an esthetician) swears by Kiss My Face. Haven't tried their stuff myself yet, but I will. I've got a great cuticle oil my friend sent to me. But I fear I have not been taking good care of my hands lately (and I work with fabric all day, which dries them out even more, and pins, which scrapes and pokes them), I think I need some kind of emergency hand soak to get them back into shape.
Hi Pixie, Kapunua, Fasc and RW!
Kapunua, how's Trisky?
i've been checking out the pics on buzznet of MCR in k. lumpar
I've just been checking them out too :) There are some great group ones where Frank is sporting one of his cheeky Frank smiles - love it!
Well get on that, RW. I don't want any dry scabby hands fumbling at my belt buckle.
Hello kapu, fasc, siobhan and AB
On the dry hands I was told by a DR that you need to apply lotion right after you wash your hands. Because the oils in the lotion lock in the moisture from the water you just used.
hi siobhan, how are you? how´s my homecountry? :)
but i have no tiny babies anymore so i think i just do too much housework and shit.
Well there you go, FASC. You'll just have to stay away from housework from now on!
Oh! Hi MJ! Sorry, didn't mean to leave you out!
I'm doing fine, thanks for asking!
How are you, dear?
Hi, Siobhan! Trisky is lying in her bed waiting for dinner, that's about it right now. I've got to go feed all of them. The huge problem right now is that her pain medication tastes really, really bad, like so strong that she can taste it through everything I try to hide it in. Then it makes her get all foamy and gaggy and she spits it up. But it's the only thing that works. It's so frustrating!

ooh here is that pic i was talking about. mr bloke helped me he is good with computers. he tutted alot though!! but hey may be i'm winning. naa prob not. i got into a convo with him last night about bert and GW and he looked like he wanted to vomit!! oh well!
hi martha! hi pixie!!
thanks RW! *blush* if you really mean it, all you have to do is send an email to tambienensabado@hotmail.com that says "i vote for andrea" :D
Kapu, well, I just hope you have the greatest moments with Trisky. *hug*
Man i was checking out bn as well but I was looking in the forums. I find it funny that their was a forums on one page talking about how fans don't and shouldn't fight with each other while on another a bunch of fans were attacking some one and trying to get them banned. Cause they didn't like what the person was saying.
Siobhan I'm doing better than I was twenty minutes ago. My headache is almost gone.
yup that link workd i'm so proud!
no more housework for me then RW!!
hi everyone who has arrived recently!
Rw I have a medication prescribed by my Dr. The only problem it messes with my asthma. medication it makes And if I take Advil with that medication it makes me sleepy as hell.
That sucks, MJ :( I take an over the counter hot liquid medicine, Neo Citrin. It's for colds and flues, but works well for headaches too.
i´m sorry to hear about your trisky kapunua, I know how hard it is, if one of your own dogs becomes ill... I hope you´ll have some "nice" days with her.... *hugs*
Hi Elena!
Ugh, Pixie! Same old, same old! Dark and rainy.
Germany turned the lights out today for about 5 minutes.
It was symbolical to raise awareness towards global warming!
I switched off the light as well and unplugged anything else in my apartment, but when I looked outside my window I realized that I was the only one!
Damn fools!!!
Well get on that, RW. I don't want any dry scabby hands fumbling at my belt buckle.
0_0
Touching, K. Nice one. See what I have to put up with, everyone??
*long-suffering sigh*
Buzznet = The Dark Side
some scary people there. They believe you must never question the WAY.
Poor thing! I'm so sorry, Kapunua!
Biggest hugs for you both!
have you checked out the pic guys?? come on i had to ask mr bloke to help!! do you know how dangerous that was!!
On the dry hands I was told by a DR that you need to apply lotion right after you wash your hands. Because the oils in the lotion lock in the moisture from the water you just used.
When I'm at work I can't use anything oily on my hands, as I am handling fabric all day. There's a product out called Udderly Smooth, the formula of which was based, I believe, on udder cream. Some fabric stores sell it, as it absorbed well and doesn't leave any greasy film on hands. I haven't been able to find it in Toronto yet though.
oh really siobhan? wow didn´t know about that... well but we have the same weather at the moment, rainy and stormy...where´s the snow??? argggg
Damn there goes my alien speck in that post you copied Rw. I hate this keyboard it will randomly jump back a sentence if I start typing to fast. So I'm always deleting something that went wrong and I don't always catch the mess ups.
No Bn = hell on earth. It has some nice information just don't talk to the natives they are very restless over there.
So, I read Mayo's new entry!
I don't want to stir things up, but it sounds to me like an invitation to another 'alternate universe'!
thanks RW! *blush* if you really mean it, all you have to do is send an email to tambienensabado@hotmail.com that says "i vote for andrea" :D
Will do, Andiebomb :) Can i do this at any time, and do I need to make reference to the particular contest, or will "I vote for Andrea" suffice?
Martha, a fellow student of mine has also to deal with a migraine now and then. She lays on something that is called 'Tiger balm' on her temples.
Fasc, I can only see an old Gerard pic, where he sits outside somewhere and wears black chucks.
No Kuala Lumpur pic!
have you checked out the pic guys?? come on i had to ask mr bloke to help!! do you know how dangerous that was!!
I looked at it, FASC! :D They're all looking pretty good. And... doesn't the expression on Frank's face make him look like he's got a secret??
I didn't know that speck is also an English word. *giggles*
The word 'Speck' means 'bacon' in German, hehe.
siobhan go to the link at 4.23pm. its such a cute pic. i just want someone to comment on it before i have to go and spend quality time with mr bloke!!
How can you see the pics, RW? I can't! Don't want to frustrate you though, Fasc!;-)
So, I read Mayo's new entry!
I don't want to stir things up, but it sounds to me like an invitation to another 'alternate universe'!
You've got a point there, Siobhan. Though I have a feeling Mayo would be loathe to take that route again after what happened the last time.
no no RW, you can do it anytime :D
I hope you are feeling better!
No, Fasc! Still no pic! It leads me to the GW forum and to the phots section, but I can only see the described pic. Do I have to click on something to get to the page of the pic?
How can you see the pics, RW? I can't! Don't want to frustrate you though, Fasc!;-)
Try the link again, Siobhan. Did you copy and paste? Maybe you didn't get the whole URL in there. I saw it fine.
sory siobhan it worked for me. i'm not frustrated really don't worry about me. atleast you saw it RW yes frankie looks like he is hiding a secret!! rays hair is getting so long. i just got sad seeing GW looking like the guy that kinda started all this for me you know!
Fasc I used the link and it worked.
Siobhan the advice on thank you for the migraines. Also i was kinda thinking the alternate universe think to. I sometimes think Mayo want to chat with us more but this place maybe to public now.
Mayo, thank you for the new blog.
What happens here, the support, the friendship...it simply amazes me.
It is our willingness to give that creates an environment that people want to belong to and where efforts do make a significant difference. We've seen this, and it truly is remarkable. It amazes me too, my friend.
The end result, restoration.
True friends will stick by your side through thick and thin. I have faith in you, love. Just remember, please, you need to listen and hear him out even if you don't like what he's saying. You are quite stubborn after all, right? It's a harsh reality but you need to learn to stick to the humble, bruised truth.
Let good humour, a balanced life and a caring attitude guide your way. And thank you for speaking with us.
Hello to all my friend here. How are we doing today?
Does anyone here know how to make clickable links? I wrote down the instructions from K, but can't fine them :/
Hello CTV :D How are you today?
You've got a point there, Siobhan. Though I have a feeling Mayo would be loathe to take that route again after what happened the last time.
Who knows, RW? Who knows...;-)
If it was an alternate universe I think he would go about it differently.
Hey CTV how are you?
hi CTV not seen you for a while. but then i'm not here so much so hey. don't worry bout the link siobhan it was just a nice pic thats all.
Thank you Andie, Siobhan and Pixie.
Hi, CTV!
Hello RW, MJ, FASC, Siobhan and anyone else lurking around. :)
Resurrected Wreck, nice to see you on so early. You're usually on in the evening, no? Weekend, hmm? Either way it's great to see you here.
(a href="YOUR URL HERE")type whatever you want the link to say here(/a)
I think that should work. Just replace the brackets with '<'.
Do you mean those pics of Gerard and Frank, Fasc? You have to scroll down, of course! Ignore the fansheep babble.

Hi CTV! I'm fine! How are you?
Hi Andiebomb!
Resurrected Wreck, nice to see you on so early. You're usually on in the evening, no? Weekend, hmm? Either way it's great to see you here.
Thank you, CTV :D I don't work weekends so I can be on here at any time. It's nice!
hi ctv I´m fine, how are you? :)
thanks for the link faraway, it´s a cute pic :)
Hey Kapunua. How are you, love?
Here's a nice hug. Give Trisky one from me too, please? Much love to both of you.
(a href="YOUR URL HERE")type whatever you want the link to say here(/a)
Thanks, CTV! I shall give that a try.
Hey everybody!
I think all the new theories are entertaining. Maybe the post was really for his friend. Maybe it was a "Don't let the door hit you on the way out" sorta thing. But the P.S. fucks that idea up in my head. It sounds "nice," if you look at the actual post being "nice." On the other hand, it sounds like, "Here, let me help you get out of my life, you bastard" if you look at the post being sarcastic.
My conclusion:
Mayo's an effin' mystery.
I wish Gerard would quit wearing the awful jean jacket. Brings back memories of Projekt Revolution.
That's just me though.
Gerard and Frank in Malaysia
Test!
god siobhan i don't even know anymore its just a pic of the guys yesterday in k lumpar and they looked cute. no worries girl! thanks for bothering though!!
hi everyone again.
K i hope you are ok i know its hard to stay bright.
I wish Gerard would quit wearing the awful jean jacket. Brings back memories of Projekt Revolution.
That's just me though.
It's not just you, CTV. Speaking of PR jackets, I keep wondering why the hell gerard wouldn't take his jacket off at that one PR show where it was so hot he ended up throwing up on stage. Made me wonder what it was he had on his arms that he didn't want anyone to see. Maybe I'm way off the mark on that, though. Maybe he was just being stupid.
Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
It works!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm a genius!!!!!!!
*dances like an idiot across the room*
Good one, Siobhan! The link worked perfectly!
CTV I agree about the jean jacket. He was wearing it when I saw him on PR in Denver. But he did hold it open to show us his favoirte Tee. Yep, you got it the infamous Unicorn Tee.
Mayo's an effin' mystery
too true MIB.
i've seen those ones siobhan, well done on that i still find that a little hard to grasp. computer shit and all. man did you see the fans at K lumpar going crazy for gerard he was just waiting for his car to arrive smoking like a crazy guy. deep deep drags every 2 secs!! i would so be like that too! scary shit.
I've never thought of that, RW. I always thought it was because he wanted to look fashionable.
Either way, he's a tool.
Does the guy know the word shampoo?
Does he know what that is?
What do you think?
CTV I agree about the jean jacket. He was wearing it when I saw him on PR in Denver. But he did hold it open to show us his favoirte Tee. Yep, you got it the infamous Unicorn Tee.
*sticks finger down throat*
G-Way was right. He refuses to discuss his personal life. He'll just wear it on a t-shirt or write it on his neck.
Hello to everyone that is here.
Mayo:
Thanks for the new post. My first interpretation of it was that it was directed at Miss T. Is it? Or is it for all of us. I know you care for us mayo, and I cant stress enough how much it means to everybody here. I'll reach as far as I can, but promise me you will hold on. If you let me go, I'd go back to a place I dont want to go back to. Hold it tight, I will too.
How is everyone?
If I ever meet a multi-coloured unicorn I'm going to punch it right in the nose.
I didn't attend the Toronto show, but when he was here, he wore the pink MSI underwear and pulled it up waaaay up high for the photographers to get a good picture.
You have no idea how happy I was to have not been there. I don't want him or his revolting wife anywhere near my city. Or my province. Or my country. GTFO, please kthnx.
I think he smoked because he felt uncomfortable! Only to have something to keep his mind from the hysterical fans. Something to keep him occupied during waiting for the 'limo', hehe!
sadly i have to leave you my friends! mr bloke is huffing and puffing his way around the house saying "how long are you gonna be?" "it was like this last sat night!" i said i'll be 10 mins, then he threatened to go to bed?? its only 22.15 ffs! what an arse! he's opened another beer now so he's obviously staying up! jesus christ! life is so crap aint it!! gotta go. see you all tomorrow. love to all.
There are a lot of things lately that Gerard has been doing that I wish would stop. Condradicting himself being the main one.
Funny how msi help MCR out so much in the beginning but we never heard about it till now. Or the msi CD he owns.
I've never thought of that, RW. I always thought it was because he wanted to look fashionable.
Because heat stroke is HOT!
Either way, he's a tool.
You're not wrong there!
Hi jade how are you?
Bye, FASC! Have a good night :)
Take care, FASC.

last one!
so fucking true martha!
Hi Jade!
What is the thing with the unicorn?
I read somewhere to Mikey likes unicorns, which I find strangely enough for a grown up, but whatever...
And Gerard is wearing t-shirts with unicorns on it? Is it some sort of message or statement?
And what pink underwear?
And excuse me, PINK underwear?
What the hell...
I wondered about that myself, MJ.
I'm so over Gerard Way and his antics. Let it be about the music one more time. Not about your wife. Not about pissing off homophobes. Not about taking a stand. All of that's gone now.
Just let it be about the music one last fucking time.
I gotta go. I'll be back in a couple of hours. Stay safe and be merry if you can :)
Well I'll tell you what, they're made for each other. If a guy I was with started waving me around like dirty underwear, showing me off as a conquest, wearing me like a fashion accessory, I'd send him on his way. Of course, if he also then started talking about "respect" while he was doing this to me--and also while disrespecting little girls by the thousands--I'd still send him away, but with a punch in the nuts, first.
But I guess she's into that kinda thing.
I think he smoked because he felt uncomfortable! Only to have something to keep his mind from the hysterical fans. Something to keep him occupied during waiting for the 'limo', hehe!
That boy's lungs must be black by now.
Talk to you later FASC. Goodbye
I didn't attend the Toronto show, but when he was here, he wore the pink MSI underwear and pulled it up waaaay up high for the photographers to get a good picture.
Oh yes, the pink underwear. I attended that Pr show, and I remember the underwear. I had no idea they were MSI underwear, though. I wouldn't want to wear something like that, I'd be afraid of what I might pick up...
Hi Siobhan and Martha.
Im well thanks, MJ. You?
Kapu I think a vunch would be better. That boy lost his nut when he stopped being a decent person so he could impress pee boy.
