Do not surrender your ears.

The click of the door brought comfort to my well worn ears and my heart sick chest. My throat, raw from futile attempts at making myself heard, was bleeding. Alone in the center of the room I am suddenly cold and tired. The heat having been drained from the room at your departure and every ounce of energy I had was expended to keep myself from begging you to stay. You had to go.

Then, relief washes over me in its sickening way. I am suddenly aware of the emptiness of my stomach and my sudden urge to vomit. To dry heave the words I did not say. “I am sorry, don’t go.” Instead, I sit. Right there, I sit right in the middle of the room that heard my pleas for you to leave, my pleading for you to stop believing and start listening to the truth. “Why don’t you hear me?...I have done such terrible things.”

Sitting there, alone with my shame, I realized I had let this drag out far too long.



p.s. make sure it is so loud that they have no choice but to listen.

Oh what a backwards post, I'm not even sure it made sense.
What I'm saying is

I'm sorry, and I miss you, and I love you all.

So that's it.
I'll try to make things right, and I'll try to be back soon.

Okay, so I had the biggest list of flaws and the most awful ones. I'm feeling a little exposed here. ^_^;; Uhhh. Anyone else wanna go?

Fim, congrats on your team. :D

Okay, I'm going out shopping with Mummy and Granny K. (Also talked a while about the DeFeo case with Daddy K. Crazy stories. O_o )

Then I'm going to finish going through old clothes, and maybe kill some zombies. But once at home, I will be Lurky McCreeperson.

Later guys!

Hello Mayo, how are you this fine Mayo. How are you this shitty morning? No no, I apologize. It may not be shitty for you and I hope it's not.

This morning I'm feeling completely
blazzeh. Once in a while I come to the realization that my life is so different than what I thought would be. Today is one of those days.

Oh well, what can you do when you live in a shoe? I could move into a boot but it wouldn't change the fact that things are garbage.

Anyway, I hope you're doing wel..

Magic Pie said...

*well*, that is...

Anon at 6:07, wonderful thoughts.

TJ, your poem is so beautiful.

Ergo, I am so sorry. That is just awful. Sending you many thoughts of comfort.

Everyone, thank you for your kind and warm words you left for me. I woke up this morning wanting to delete my post. Feeling it was just too much information and I definitley didn't want any attention. But thank you so much. Your words warm my heart. It was a long time ago - and well let's just say I survived. :) And I am thankful for all the wonderful things I do have in my life. The stuff I deal with today is small potatoes. My boss is a dick and he will get what he deserves.

All of us have had our battles. Whether we were late bloomers, the awkward kid in class, the shy one, the joker, the athlete, the popular kid, whoever we were, it is important to realize that sometimes we just do not know what they have struggled through in their life.

All of you are so beautifully kind-hearted. I am thankful to know each and everyone of you.

*sorry if I am not making total sense. I woke up late and still need more coffee!

Hi, Gaggle!

Mayo,

How are you today? Will you be posting soon? Tonight, perhaps? I will be here, waiting...

Until then, I am going to the 2nd practice with this band my brother has cooked up. It isn't the type of music I would've chosen to do, but it might be fun... We're going to be running through Etta James' Tell Mama. I think I might have to throw Etta's At Last in the mix also.

I'm still suffering with this cold/sinus thing and feeling really tired, so I'm not real sure what I'm gonna be able to do today. Sure could use one of those cheater boxes today!

If anybody has any suggestions as to some other songs I can add, let me know. These guys are wanting to do Motown/R&B party/dance type music from the 60's. I am one of 2 female singers. There are 2 horn players and they are wanting to add another... Damn, a 9 piece band is a bit ridiculous if you ask me, but..

I've never worked in a band with horns and so far I find it strange... We are having to do the songs in keys that the horns have them charted for. I'm not used to working with musicians who can't play in whatever key you want. What's that about? 1-4-5, dudes... Is there something about horns that keeps you from doing that? I don't know, so I'm keeping my mouth shut... I just hate that I'm having to sing "Knock on Wood" in a key that is lower than what I'd prefer. I can't get no momentum going there, y'know?

Oh, well, Oh, well, Oh, well... It is just for fun, so, I'll have fun, dammit!

Talk to you geese later!

resurrected wreck said...

anima said...

One more thing. Do you guys realize how much this blog has helped me through so much? Especially when it comes to my work environment. I was at my wits end and then I found this place. It has lifted my spirits. It has made me realize that maybe somethings in my life right now are not so bad. All of your stories, all of your strength, all of your silliness - helps me in so many ways. Thank you.

Thank you Mayo for staying and for continuing to share yourself with us. I wish I could explain how much you mean to me.

SS, it is all about the geese isn't it. You lift my spirits. I hope we continue to do the same for you.

Magic Pie said...

Hey Majic Pie - oh I like the new spelling. I still think about Mayo asking you about 'magic pie'...makes me giggle. ;)

anima said...

Hello PH & FASC! :D

Anonymous said...

Anima, I'm so glad. ^_^ You mean so much to this blog, too. And of course, you should be on chat more often. ^_^

ANd S(S)S, I missed you yesterday so I'm going ot be a pain and post this again.

This mighty fine dude came to us with a broken wing on Friday. I snapped a pic for you. How odd is that? Well, we x rayed him (can I just tell you how hard it is to x ray wildlife?!) and the break wasn't too bad. We wrapped his wing, me holding onto this huge guy and the vet setting the bone. He might still be releasable.

Anyway, I love geese and I see a lot of them, and now I associate them with you, also. ^_^ Hope you like that pic, he was a cutie.

Well guys, off to organize my closet. DOES THE EXCITEMENT EVER STOP AT MY HOUSE? NEVER.

Hey everyone

resurrected wreck said...

Hello there BC :)

anima said...

Kapunua, thank you so much. It means so much to hear that. You have no idea.

Well, you guys...I need to get working on the business plan.

Happy Sunday everyone!

resurrected wreck said...

Happy Sunday, Anima :) See you around!

Anonymous said...

Take care anima. Hi RW how are you?

resurrected wreck said...

I'm quite well, BC :) Feeling very stuffed, I ate way too much this weekend!

How are you?

Anonymous said...

Well Anima, I think you're fab. ^_^

Oh, I wanted to mention something else. If anyone else is gonna play the "biggest flaws / terrible things you've done" game, here's an addendum to that: The first person who pulls the old "I care about other people too much" or any OTHER "flaw" that is really not a flaw but an endorsement for how awesomely good and kind you really are, fails epically.

Had to say it. ^_^

Cool beans. I'm okay, just feeling a bit groggy at the moment.

resurrected wreck said...

Groggy?

Anonymous said...

It's how I feel sometimes when I get out of bed. Not sleepy, yet not fully awake. That's how I feel. And this damn sun is not making me feel any better

resurrected wreck said...

Oh well, at least it's the weekend, BC :)

Hey FASC!
