I am expended. I have given my soul to you and, without question, you deserve it. I am rewarded by my investment and I know I get more out of it than you. Regardless, at the end of the day, I know its worth.
I am reminded that not so long ago I was so afraid of death that I taunted it, begged it to take me on. For a little while, I allowed its insidious grip to hold my soul. I was seduced by chance and by choice.
Temptation will always tug at my better judgment. I have been successful at averting my attention from ruinous behaviors toward the seemingly benign. Still, I question whether I have just shifted gears rather than changed lanes.
Perhaps I will again fall prey to deaths seductive whisper and allow myself to be captured by the romance of self destruction. It is wise to consider that I tempt fate. The alternative is blind supposition.
For now I am anchored to the rocky bottom. I will drift, but I will not be carried out to sea.
p.s. it takes hours to come down and the fall may lead to my imperfection.

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.

Thanks for coming back and letting us know you are okay. We was stressing, dude! You have seriously like become a part of my everyday life. Don't ask me how but it just happened. Just like any of my other friends or family, I worry about you. I'm glad you're okay.
We are here when you need us, alright?
Hugs and kisses, Mayo-man.
XOXO,

Hello you guys!
Hello Mayo!
*waves*
hey jules, yes i will be as usual. need to spend time with the parents tho, will be great getting a bollocking for nothing again. oh well.
the joyness of alcohol is so fucking fabulous. NOT
are you having a good day jules
Good morning guys.
How are we? Me? I'm actually alright today. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow. Did I ever tell you I was scared shitless of doctors?
=[
Oh, hey Mayo, don't apologize for posts that you make on your own blog. It's your place. Just, you know, we worry. It sounded pretty harsh. But you should always feel as if you can post whatever the hell you want, and unload anything here. It was just that you usually stick around, and we were thinking of you, is all.
Thanks for popping in and saying hi, and for letting us know. That's thoughtful of you. ^_^
oh how rude am i,
hello bean, princess and anon
yes anon your cheers was good. you should talk to ergo, she is good at cheers as well
and rude yet again, hello 007
how are your exams going hun. dont you have your last one soon?
Why, Princess, Bean and PH are here, too. Hello, you guys!
PH, I'm not partial to doctors either. Those bastards think they know everything. Don't let them, like, give you any pills or anything. >_<
You are very rude Fumble, but not as rude as rude girl Splash. She is officially 'the most rudest person in the world ever'.
Hey FS! Hey Jules! Hey PH! Hey Lucy!
PH,
Just go in and tell your doctor that I said "RAWR!". Okay? He won't think you're crazy, I promise!
Alright, gotta go eat. YAY! Mustard was making me hungry talking about all the condiments over at DM. ^_^
Love ya!

oh but bean, she is not rude. she is the resident

i am shocked you forgot.
hehehehehe
Hi K, I hate it when you go to the doctor and they expect you to tell them what is wrong with you! If they don't know, they blame it on a virus!
I was disappointed I didn't have any blog dreams last night :(
Hey Fimble, Kapunua, and Lucy! =]
FS, my last exam is on Wednesday. I've tried studying, but I can't focus anymore! =] How're you today sweets? <3
Kapunua, good, Doctor's creep me out. The way their hands are always cold scares me too. And to think he's going to have to touch my eye with those cold dead-like hands.. lol.
Lucy, how're you? =]
ANNNNNNNNNND a big Hello to Mayo. I wouldn't expect to see you commenting this far into a post.
ANNNNNNNNNNNNND hello to all lurkers! =]
It's 18:30 and I'm starving so I'm going to go and cook my tea. What an exciting life I lead!
I used to be really into medicine and had a tendency to tell doctors what I thought was wrong with me.
They hate that. They seem to hate when you think you might have a smidgen of knowledge about, you know, what is going on in your own body.
I've had doctors shake their heads and tell me, "I little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing." Yeah? Well all they have is "a little bit of knowledge," too. But some of them think they have the answer to everything. It really burns me. They're so pushy.
But House is still hot. ^_^
Hey Smokie! Lol. Nooo he wouldn't think I was crazy at all! =]
My mom will be with me, clearly, and I'm pretty sure she'd be like "What the fuck is wrong with my daughter?"
Lucy, I hate that too! Really, the whole point of going to the doctor's is to find out what is wrong with you. If you knew, then why would you go?
Hi PH and S&V20!
Bye everyone!
Mayo, I am so relieved to hear from you today. Keep that temptation at bay. It's great that you recognize when you are vulnerable. Be strong. You can do it.
Sending you tons of hugs and smiles.
Cook your tea! I love that.
PH, why does the dr. have to touch your eye?
It doesn't hurt, though. I had PRK surgery last year and I still have to go back every few months. They put numbing drops in your eye that really do work. If you're squeamish about your eyes I can see how that would freak you out, but I spent nearly 18 years putting contact lenses in, so that stuff didn't bug me anymore.
Take comfort in knowing that it'll be over quickly. ^_^
Hey Anima!!
K, he has to touch my eye because for the past 2 weeks or so, there's been like a bump in my eye, and it looked swollen. To hide it from everyone, I put my bangs over that one eye. Buut, my mom noticed, and freaked. Now it looks a little smaller, but she's still mad I didn't show her. And to top it off, it's the eye I had surgery on when I was like 3 for some reason, so that worries her even more.
hey guys, back from retrieving the telephone from the toilet. tornado thought it was fantastic to try and flush the phone down it. i have to go and try and dry it with a hair dryer. urghhhhh bloody children oh well.
007, thats coming up isnt it. i bet you will be glad of the end. i am sure you will be able to. just need to focus on your exam instead of my sheer sexiness. hahahahahahaha
catch you all later. bye bye
Anima, hi! ^_^ Get on AIM more often. :D
(I'll be on late tonight, guys, it's my late day at Kung Fu.)
Well, I'm off to attempt to finish getting rid of some clothes, they kill some squid zombies.
Mayo? Play video games, it's so relaxing. Uhh, even when it's squid-headed zombies sneaking up behind you.
And, thanks again for popping in. Be well, okay?
Telephone fromt he toilet, oh, FIm! O_O You're a braver woman than I am. When stuff falls int he crapper and you are the only one who can retrieve it, that's the harshest thing. That's when you realize two things: One, you are an adult. And two, you are utterly alone.
PH, yeah, get that checked out! Remind yourself that it's nothing life threatening, and that eye procedures have come a long way, even from when you had surgery when you were a kid. :D
Okee, bye everyone!
Oh that's right Fimble! I must spend more time looking at the books then at myself in the mirror. ;)
lol. Kidding.
Anyways; Bye FS!<3
Kapunua, I will definately go on AIM tonight! Yay!!!
*Must get back to work. I'm friggin' swamped. FUCK!!!!!
Awwh thanks Kapunua! I'll go, but my mother has to hold my hand the whole time and make sure that the dr's cold hands stay out of my eye! =]
Bye K!<3
Anima, have fun at work!! I don't know if I have you on AIM, buttt you can so add me! I'm almost rarely on it though=]
AIM: Paperheartrawrxx
=]
Bye Anima!<3
PH, I will add you! I'm barely on as well, so it will be cool when we both are. ;)
Bye sweetie, *hugs*
Okay! I'm excited Anima!!<3
Bye hun!*hug*
Anyone around? Mayo? SS? Anyone lurking? Anyone?
*sits down and turns iPod up really loud*
^_^
Clearly, I am alone right now! =]
Anyways, I'm going to go eat some french fries, with MAYONNAISE and KETCHUP on top. =]
Haha. I'm off.
Mayo-dude, have a great day/evening, wherever you are!
SS, PACTUM SERVA. Stay strong.
Prof. Anon/Iamanonymous I actually did miss you my dear. =] I hope we speak again soon. =]
Everyone else; RAWR!<3
Awwww, bye PH!
Have a great rest of the day!
RAWR!
Thank you Mayo for letting us know how you are feeling.
Glad to hear you are in a strong place now.....stay there!
Evening Mr. Naise & Blogpeeps,
Did you miss me this morning?!
I had my Kerrang! Tour gig last night and didn't get to work today as I had to rescue my friend from the airport. She went skiing in the Alps and ruptured her left anterior cruciate ligament on the first run of the first day. Ouch! Anyhoo, they flew her home but her parents are in Brittany until Thursday so I had to drive down to Gatwick from Bristol and take my poor wounded soldier back to London. On the plus side (for me, not her obviously) I got to see Sweeney Todd, which has Johnny Depp in it. Even with dark eye circles, grey make-up and bad teeth he's still so pretty he could have floated out of the Ark of the Covenant. Before they kill everyone, natch...
Be still my beating heart, part 2: I have seen Charlie from Busted, ahem Fightstar in the flesh and can now die happy! The crowd seemed really into the music, but then most of them were a full decade younger than me - I'm not even 30 yet and I'm already getting too old for this sh*t!
Circa Survive were a bit "blah". The singer certainly put a lot of energy in, but they looked like a 5-piece Biffy Clyro and the music was completely unmemorable to the point where I'd say Europe got the superior MCR support act in MSI.
I loved Madina Lake. They were the only band that really got me jumping up and down and they had giant balloons*! I was standing towards the back of the main crowd section, reached up and accidently burst one when it snagged on my fingernail - showering the mixing desk with paper confetti. The sound guy was NOT impressed.
I only watched Coheed & Cambria for 2 songs - I got the text re:pick-up friend, and left early to get some sleep - but they were OK. I seriously hope Ray Toro looks at Claudio's hair and aims for that!!
Mr. Mayo-man,
I wouldn't worry about the death thing - everytime I go to the top of a tall building I fantasise about jumping off it. As long as Romeo & Juliet is a GCSE set-text there will always be a certain romance in self-destruction; after all, who'd have read The Bell Jar if Sylvia Plath hadn't have gassed herself?
"Death is but a door, time is but a window: I'll be back."

Hey BC!
I am glad you enjoy my Three Stooges humor, S&M.
Somehow, what mischief managed said reminds me of sucking sunflower seeds
Hey princess smoke!
“It” is self-awareness. I am at a strong place. I was moved to explore my weaknesses. I was tired, drained actually. Perhaps because I was so vulnerable at that moment my thoughts turned to temptation.
I apologize that the resulting post caused you all such worry.
There is more, but that will come in time.
------------------------------------
Mayonaise, what a nice surprise that you decided to visit us today. I am relieved and happy to hear that you are in a strong place. The last words I said to you last night.....the offer still stands. Always. Take care love.
Hello mischief managed. You watch the Three Stooges? I used to watch that as a kid.
Mayo:
It's great to hear you're still doing your soul searching. That's all we can really ask of you, to be honest.
Thanks for filling us in. And no apologies are necessary. You know first-hand we freak out over you. We wanted to help, but we had no idea where to begin.
Stay strong, and let it come in time.
If at first you don't suck a seed, keep on sucking until you do suck a seed.

And, seriously Mischief Anon, you rule.

Hey there, BC!

I'll be back in a few!
And BTW: Don't fall asleep by a blazing fire.

If your worried about the comedown, stick a couple of Valium up your *rse! Works for Amy Winehouse, although possibly not the best advice...

Yeah, someone has a habit of calling me that, BC.
hi guys!!
hello mayo and thank you so much for popping to say you are ok!! really that means alot cos i've had a shitty arse day just dwelling on shit so thank you for that anyway!!
hello SS!!
kass glad your gig was good!! yeh i did wonder where you were this morning?? i won obviously!!

i did have a blog dream actually and it involved lewis and bikey????
nothing sexual at all bikey it was just me, you and lewis sharing a flat. all innocent. and lewis is a girl btw so there was no man love for you!! (we know you are sorted in that department!!!)
sorry couldn't resist childish childish childish!!!
hey everyone else!!
EDIT
popping in mayo, obviously!!
Hello Kass, Faraway
hey BC, you ok??
I'm okay faraway, just eating some cereal. Thanks for asking. How are you?
i'm good BC.
better for mayo saying he is ok, he scared me a little last night i don't like reading things like that!!
anyway it just made me dwell on a whole lot of other shit and also with some regulars telling their troubles as anons thats upsetting. not cos i want to know who they are or anything it just makes me feel for them and then again it makes me address shit in my own life, you know??!!
but i'm feeling better thank you!
Okay, so you know how I said this morning that GOOD HAIR DAYS rule? Well, I feel like one of those advertisement advertising body building shampoo (*insert really funny, pumped up shampoo bottle here*).
And the girl's all sad because her hair fell flat.
I ask you this: How does one's hair start out the day looking like Fabio's and end the day looking like Herman Munster?
What the hell changes?
Anyway, my point is, BC, cereal rocks all the meals of the day. It's universal. You chose wise!
Faraway, I know what you mean. Sometimes I hate reading some of his posts, but eh, there is nothing much we can do. He's trying to deal, and we have to support that no matter what. As far as those regulars being as anons is concerned, if they have problems, all we can do is help them in return. We cannot demand that they sign in with their names if they don't feel comfortable enough to do so. No one should be forced to do such a thing.
And your welcome!
Hey guys.
Thank you for putting our minds at ease, Mayo. You had us really worried.
Now, hand over some of that strength. I'm in need right now.
"And the girl's all sad because her hair fell flat."
*Princess is at a loss for words.
I've never felt this sadness. I bet it is awful.
Mustard, the cause of terrible hair could be using products that may be wrong for your hair type, or it could be the weather in general. I guess it depends. I am not too keen on anything hair product related though. I just brush my hair and that's about it.
And of course, cereal is the all knowing, all powerful part of breakfast that everyone should have every morning. Nothing beats cereal. It is the undisputed ruler of breakfast!
That also goes for pancakes as well.
no i totally agree BC wouldn't want them to. i am happy they got some stuff off their chests.
MIB the hair thing is damn true. if there is a hint of moisture in the air (and fuck me hello i live in england) my hair wants to leave its straightened form and start to wave. and i fucking hate it!!
cereal is one of my fav meals!!
Princess:
Not everyone can have magnificent hair ;)
CTV:
Everything okay?
See, that's the thing.
I don't use anything on it. Maybe I should buy whatever Ray buys.
That should do the deed. ;)
Just reading back through the comments and if you're out there somewhere Bulimia Anon @ 8.30pm, 27/01/08,
Been there, done that (for 10 years), pretty much recovered. If you want to mail me my address is on my blog profile.
And now I'm off to bed, so Goodnight...
Love,

What's up, CTV? You all right over there?
Splash, I sent you an email. ^_^
Back to zombies.
good morning everyone!!!
how fabulous that mayo dropped by!
I am so jappy with his comment.
i felt the post may be more thinking out loud, and i feel he confirmed my thoughts on it.
Goodnight and sweet dreams Kass. Hey Ergo, K. Mustard, I think Ray's hair looks terrible when flat. What happened to all of that puffiness in his hair? It looked so soft and pet-friendly.
Faraway, moisture itself can definitely be a problem for your hair. I forgot to mention that.
Hey CTV.
I'm fine. Exams, y'know.
I hope you're all doing well.
I'm totally talking out of my you know what too. Humidity is a bitch. My hair is naturally wavy/curly but I wear it straight everyday. South Georgia always has high humidity so when I walk outside it goes all ~~~~~ on me. Instead of being like this ------.
It makes me angry. >_<
CTV:
Sending you a care package via internet.
It's loaded with all of the night time snackies you like. And some pain reliever just in case there's a headache or something. Oh! And some #2 pencils. :)
Study hard.
Party harder. ;) After, of course.
Smoke:
I'm so sorry. You can always put it up in a ponytail and wear your tiara to hide unwanted frizzies, yeah?!
Kapunua:
I returned it :)
oh for the frizzies!!
my hair is dead straight but never sits right anyway.
I'd love a bit of wave!
and Ray's hair is awesome any way. I like it all ringleted, looks more "twist around your fingers" friendly ;)
Thanks, Mustard. I'll try my best!
I am a little bit angry at myself because I just realized, if I had stayed at my local college, I would have gotten my Associate's Degree in Criminal Justice this year. I can't believe I threw that away. Damn.
Humidity sucks princess smoke. I just got a haircut a few days ago, and now my hair is the shortest it has ever been in my entire life, but the hairdresser who did it had done an excellent job, so I can't complain.
sorry guys got lost for a moment!!
night night kass!
hi CTV,ergo,S&V,K,anyone else i've not addressed.
i have to go now i am afraid, nearly 10 pm here and mr bloke due back any sec and i don't need a fight.
love to you all!
goodnight fasc!!
BC my hair has been long, short , curly, straight and is currently heading - slowly- to long again.
anyway I'm off too gym and first day of the school year!
Yay! a day at home alone after 6 weeks!!!
- quiet, no "what are we doing now?" ahhhhhhhh
*bliss*
Goodnight FASC and take care.
Take care Ergo. This past summer, when I went to Texas, my family freaked out because I didn't have my super long hair anymore. They just freaked like you couldn't believe.
Before I had my hair chopped off, a few years ago I used to have hair down past my butt.
Goodnight and sweet dreams Faraway. Love to you
Is anyone here?
Mayo:
I can’t decide whether this is hopeful or if I should be really worried.
You sound tired.
I’m not afraid of death, as such; it’s something I see a lot and it’s not so scary when it’s not the great unknown.Fear is often born out of a lack of understanding. I guess I’m nervous about the way it may happen though.
Often when I’m in a situation where death could be close, I kinda get the urge to walk towards it, not because I want to die but…I don’t know! Like being on a boat or a cliff and thinking “What if I just stepped off/jumped in?” I once said this to my best friend while on a cliff. He gave me the strangest look and said “What, are you a lemming?” Hmmm, maybe!
The other week a plane lost power crashed on landing at Heathrow; everyone escaped fairly unscathed but the plane missed the runway was ripped up pretty badly. Everyone was saying how awful it would have been. Speaking without thinking I said “Are you kidding, how exciting would that have been!”
Of course, I got ‘the looks’ and told I was weird. But maybe you have to get close to the edge sometimes to feel like you’re actually living *shrugs* I don’t know!
Or this goes deeper....and this is the part that worries me, sweetie!
I'm not the right person to address that though, but they're are people out there who can.
Temptation will always tug at my better judgment
Sorry, I giggled at that. I can find smut and innuendo in the strangest places.
Temptation always tugs (Hehe!) But, I guess you’ve just got to stay aware and alert; don’t let the fucker creep up on you!
Perhaps I will again…….
Perhaps not. If you are open to the suggestion, well aren’t you inviting temptation and likely to be seduced? But then I guess it is wise to consider; aware and alert, and all that!
Shifting gear instead of changing lanes…..I wonder that too sometimes. At least it’s changing something; it’s a start.
I can see how self-destruction could be viewed with romanticism but I’m pretty sure actually doing it isn’t and I know damn well it’s not romantic to watch someone you love do that; a living nightmare, in fact!
Being anchored is good but maybe you should be able to drift a bit; being tethered too tight can be restrictive, suffocating and fester resentment. Might just tempt you to get all romantic again!
I’m hoping this means you are optimistic and things are starting to look better. I wish you all the love and luck in the world.
Take Care of yourself Mayo!
P.S. Imperfections.....they are often the things that are cute!
P.P.S ‘Honking from the rear’ make me giggle too, of course. Thanks SS!
And then, Mayo, I scrolled back and saw you've been for a visit.
I'm glad you're in a good place; that is what I wish for you!
Hi, how is everyone?
*pours herself a rum & gingerale, unwraps an almond tart, and plunks herself down heavily in front of the computer*
Oh, good lord, what a day!
*hears echo; wonders where everyone is*
*wanders off to the porch...*
Hey DG, RW. How are you guys?
Hey RW, sorry loading slow tonight!
Hard day?
Pantera, my dear!
I'm okay thanks...tired but then when aren't I?
How are you?
*takes leaf out of RW's book and pours a vodka and coke*
Hello DG, BC :)
I had to confront the boss form hell today, DG. Sounds worse than it actually was, though.
How are you guys this evening?
Not bad thanks, RW!
Just perusing estate agents on the interweb for a new flat. Spotted one I love but it's so bloody expensive!!!
Might go and look at it anyway....sod it.
I guess you feel kinda relieved in a way then; you enjoy the rum and almond tart. I love almond tart, second only to chocolate tart.
RW, how did it went with the boss? I hope it went...somewhat well. DG, I'm not sure how I feel right now. I'll get back to you on that.
Anytime BC, by any means....I'll be here!
The Mayo Gothic continues
The Direful Secret of Castle Mayo
by
Elena and Toujours
The first three chapters are posted on Toujours ectoplasmic whisperings blog...
This part written by Toujours..
chapter 4:
how had he known she was there? though she hadn't been deliberately sneaking about, she was a naturally quiet woman, who moved with a stealthy grace. did lord mayo have preternatural senses, that he was able to discern her presence by the very beating of her trembling heart?
she shivered at the thought. at least, she reflected, he did not appear to know which of his lovelies had been spying on him, for which she felt great relief. if he had said "arabella", her shame would have been complete!
suddenly she came to an awareness of where she was. the dark cellar was an empty cavern underneath the castle itself, and the few torches that remined lit in the draft undercrofts cast more shadows than they relieved. arabella looked nervously at the flickering shapes in the corners. she wasn't afraid of ghosts, none at the castle were, for the only ghost that haunted the manse was more akin to a guardian spirit than a spectre.
but there were other...things that lurked in the dark corners of mayo's mansion. things without faces. things that bit and shredded the soul..
arabella gathered the scalloped lace hem of her gown in her hands and scurried up the stairs, quickly returning to the main hall and the safety of the gathered women to be found there.
Hi Elena. So far I am loving the new chapter. It is very well written. Excellent job squeak squeak, Elena!
Hello everyone. I am working on Chapter 5 and will be done soon. This is where the women of Castle Mayo start to make appearances. Toujours and I wish to include everyone. However if you do not want to be in this please let us know. This is just for fun and we don’t want to upset anyone. I have included a few people in my next chapter. If you do not want to be in it just let me know and I’ll delete and change it. You will also notice our heroine is fictional. Our hero Lord Mayo could be called the same. Love you all.
Elena
RW, how did it went with the boss? I hope it went...somewhat well.
I wrote you a long response, BC, but blogger ate it! 0_0 So I'm just going to copy & paste what I posted at DM:
We still got individually called into her office, but that was mainly to touch base with what was going on upstairs in the workroom (she's on a different floor & doesn't come up all the time). I think she just felt out of the loop, and given that she's a control freak she was finding it hard to handle. She's also incapable of simple math, which I discovered as I had to explain my time sheet hours to her several times before she got it.
Anyway, this is her last season there. She's done in May. As is, we found out today, the other crazy woman who works there. HUZZAH!!
Doesn't Bob look like Jesus at the last supper?

Bye, all!
Bye RW! Hi Ergo
The Mayo Gothic continues
The Direful Secret of Castle Mayo
by
Elena and Toujours
The first four chapters are posted on Toujours ectoplasmic whisperings blog...
This part written by Elena..
“Arabella you look like you’ve seen a ghost.” Ergo said seeing her good friend enter the hall.
“Not a ghost.” She led her friend to a more secluded spot. She did not fear her other “sisters” hearing. However, the Nameless Ones were always a concern. “I saw Lord Mayo.” She whispered.
“What?” Ergo loudly gasped.
Arabella glanced around hoping Ergo’s response had not been heard. She lowered her voice, “Yes, I truly saw him.” She paused then added, “He was in his bedroom.”
Ergo stared. “Arabella, have you been partaking of the wine from the cellar?”
OPL and OPJ wandered over slowly hoping they were not interrupting a private conversation. They voiced that very question.
“Of course you may hear our words.” Arabella assured them. “I only speak quietly in hopes the Nameless Ones are not listening. I know they are not all evil. Some have been very nice. But without a name I cannot recognize them. I cannot always tell the kind from the evil.”
OPJ nodded her agreement. “We understand. Now what is this news that has Ergo in such a tizzy?”
“I’m not in a tizzy.” Ergo said defending her attitude, “Surprised, yes.”
RW joined the group, “Is there news of Lord Mayo?”
“Arabella has seen him.” Ergo answered.
The women all began speaking at once. Arabella tried to listen to all of their questions at once. She wondered if this was how Lord Mayo felt at times. So many voices all speaking together. Patiently she waited until they quieted down.
“So he was really in his room?” OPL asked excitedly.
Arabella nodded, “He was standing at the window watching the approaching storm.”
“How is it that you came to be in his room?” RW questioned.
Arabella blushed, “I found a secret passageway in the cellar. It led into the large cupboard in his room.”
“Oh my.” Ergo smiled, “What happened when you entered the room?”
“I did not venture into Lord Mayo’s bedroom.” She looked down, “I only peeked through the crack in the doors.”
“And you saw him?” RW asked excitedly. “Tell us, please.”
Of course they all asked for a description of Lord Mayo. Until now he had just been a faceless voice who touched their souls with his words.
“It was dark and only one candle lit.” Arabella explained. “The shadows made it difficult to see but he appeared to be quite handsome.”
The women all smiled.
“How could he not be?” Ergo proclaimed, “Such beautiful words must come from a beautiful man.”
“You do not have to be beautiful in face to be beautiful of heart.” OPJ said softly.
“Very true.” sdock agreed. They all had been so lost in conversation they hadn’t heard her approach. Standing at her side S&V agreed with her sister while adjusting her tiara.
The rest of the women all nodded their agreement also. They had learned from their time at Castle Mayo that beauty came from within.
“Arabella, did he know you were there?” sdock asked softly.
“He did. I watched as he appeared to be pondering opening the drawer of his bedside table,”
The women all murmured. Lord Mayo’s bedside drawer was infamous. He had forbidden the Lovelies from ever opening it. There was much speculation about its contents.
“He only pondered, he didn’t open it?” S&V sounded quite disappointed.
“No, he turned from it then went back to the window.” Arabella confirmed.
“And then?” sdock was caught up in the tale.
Arabella took a breath, “He spoke without turning from the window.”
“Tell us. What were his words?” OPJ asked her eyes bright with excitement.
Arabella closed her eyes. The sound of his voice echoed in her mind. “He said that I shouldn’t be there. He told me that he had given his Lovelies free reign in his castle but that tonight he needed to be alone.” She sighed, “He sounded quite sad.”
Pantera caught the last bit of the story. She sighed, “Lord Mayo is sad, yet again?”
“He sounded so.” Arabella said softly. “I honored his request and hastily made my way back to the cellar.”
“What could be troubling Lord Mayo?” sdock fretted. “Has someone spoken unkindly to him?” Just that thought caused her to utter several very unladylike oaths.
“If so they should hope never to meet me in a dark castle corridor.” S&V’s eyes narrowed. “The Princess does not take kindly to those who upset our host.”
“Oh, listen.” Pantera’s voice was urgent. “The whisperers of The Nameless Ones grow loud.”
Sdock uttered another string of oaths that could make hearty men of the sea blush.
“Oh they are worse than sharks who have tasted blood.” Ergo shuddered.
The whispers grew louder. Soon the castle walls seemed to vibrate with the sound.
TJ, what the hell! Nice to see you here.
You guys can put me in your story if you want! Since you were nice enough to let me borrow you guys for mine. ^_^
Elena, I have to tell you, you kind of have a big role in the next part. I hope you don't mind. O_o
Well, I just came back from Kung Fu where we did tons of kicks (one of the younger students, a boy of around 15, got sick on the floor! O_o ) so I'm a little nervous about tomorrow. The last time it happened it was around 3 PM the next day. So if it happens again (I WILL SCREAM!) then I'll know.
Then in black-belt we did this amazing drill. I'm so beat.
So I'm off for a shower and then I'll be on AIM. Wait up for me, you guys! ^_^
Elena, that is a wonderful chapter you have written. Thank you! And thank you for adding me there. Hey K.
Kapunua said...
Elena, I have to tell you, you kind of have a big role in the next part. I hope you don't mind. O_o
I am intrigued!!
You shall be in our story. Thanks for the okay!
Thanks Pantera. Glad you liked it. I didn't realize I wrote so much though. Sorry. Once it posted I thought oh shit that's long.
it's great Elena!
and I love the shark reference, just for that I'll share this...
What did the librarian use for sharkbait?
A bookworm!
What do you call the guy who stuck his right hand in a sharks mouth?
Lefty!
yes the shark joke book sits happily beside my computer. :)
In my mind we are all be wearing long flowing tight bodiced empire line gowns.
Kapunua I hope your leg holds up, keep an ice pack handy in case.
Ergo thank you for the truly bad shark jokes. The world needs more of them.
Your welcome Elena.
An ice pack, I guess that would be the thing, but I can't even begin to consider it. It's so effing cold and I hate being cold.
Oh hey, check this out. After that kid spewed up his Gatorade in class tonight? Sifu made him get on the floor and clean it up while the rest of us continued. O_o He was like, "You missed a spot." Oh my god.
Ergo, I've been meaning to ask you, what's your workout at the gym? Do you do mostly aerobic or do you do some weights too? And how long do you usually work out? Do you find it really works for you, as in, have you noticed a huge change since you started?
Okay, going to take the dogs out, THEN I will be on AIM, okee?
Please take this note to Mayo's:
Mayo,
How are you tonight? Pretty damn good, I hope. Me? Well, I really think I am coming down with something. I have currently lost track of how many benadryl I have taken...maybe 6? 8? It leaves me feeling loopier than usual, so forgive me if I stray from my topic at hand.
And what topic would that be? Give me a second...nope, I am still thinking. Okay, I guess I will just run with it. Thanks for dropping in today. It's always nice when you visit.
Self awareness, yeah sometimes I think I am a little too aware of myself....that's what scares the shit out of me. I know the things I am capable of doing, of saying, of thinking. But those deep dark parts are the parts that I love the most. The parts that help me relate to others so well and the ones that help me to see things from all points of view. Maybe it's not so much self awareness as it is human awareness.
And maybe I am talking with a head full of medicine....
Struggling to find the words for you tonight, my friend. Hopefully, you can find your way through the fog in my head and pull out something you can ponder on or use.
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. There are parts still undiscovered.
*jumps into the room, errol flynn style*
a-ha!
*big cheesy grin*
elena, i absolutely loved your chapter. oh man, this is a lot of fun!
i don't know if i'll have the next chapter up tonight...gotta ponder a bit...
plus, i'm still all:
wheeeee-oooooo!!!!
*loopy*
Hello everyone!!!!
Elena and TJ: I am really loving the Gothic Romance!
*cues mood music*
JUST FOR TONIGHT
I thought it fit the mood perfectly
;-)
How are we all tonight? Good, I hope!
Hugs and Love to all!
6/Wendy
Hey Everyone! How are you tonight?
Elena, this is FABULOUS! You and Toujours are doing an excellent job!
Thank you for putting us in the story! The gothic imagery is so clear, and the dialogue is so Victorian. And yes, Ergo, I agree about the gowns. We would ALL look stunning in them.
J. really liked the line you gave her- “You do not have to be beautiful in face to be beautiful of heart.” OPJ said softly.
Love,
L.
hey six!
*grabs both hands and spins around*
Hey Wendy and Toujours
Thanks Wendy. Toujours and I are really loving this co-author thing.
Ok if you go in the story?
Toujours wow I can see you. I loved your chapter. I read it and thought oh man, how am I gonna follow this. This is so much fun.
Can't wait to see where you take the story next.
Helllooooo Wendy and OP L!!! How are you guys? Aww, is squeak squeak feeling happy tonight?
hey Kapunua, the workout I do is mostly weights - free and machines (do you call them that? lol) and it has probably 10 or so mins of aerobic - bike, climber stex and then 25-30 mins weights. The program changes as we go, I've been 18 months and am on program 7 which is like exercise pairs
20 reps behind pulldowns 20 reps chest press- rest- repeat with max weights then change exercises to a 15/15 then 12/12 then 8/8 then sprints and slow on the bike and climber and then 25 lunge presses.
(that was today)
I have 3 days which differ repeated 4 times, then I go back to revisit progs 5/6/7 before going on to 8.
It stays challenging and your muscles don't get used to it and slack off.
I have noticed a huge difference, lower back troubles are now pretty much gone, I had sciatica before I busted the disc, and have nothing now and I feel better and stronger.
It's a bit of a feel good moment when you increase weights, like I started say a hammer curl with 4 kg and now can do 9 kg (not for long though!)
I have found I really enjoy it, much more than I expected.
(God I sound like a gym junkie! lol.
I go after I drop my girl at school and am home in an hour)
-sorry for long winded explaination
Hello BC, Ergo, Sdock (on the porch), OP L and J!
Great to 'see' you all!!!
I have an updated room list for you OPs. I shall send it to you ladies tonight! :)

I would be honored to be in your story ladies!!!! :D
*bounces up to l.*
hi!
look!
i'm solid! :D
Please do not ruin your story by putting Kapunua in it. Just keep writing it though!!! You know you will because she put you in hers but I WISH you didn't have to.
I know MOST of you don't want to read any more about her.
Hi Wendy
*waves*
how are you?
Op's L (& J -as I know you are both about)
How are you feeling today?
OP L, Wendy, how are you guys?
Hey L
Thanks for the comments. The Victorian dialogue throws me a bit. I've never written this type of dialogue before. Toujours has a much better feel for it. Tell J the words I wrote for her just sounded like something I believed she would say.
*bounces over to bc*
*shows off solidness*
cool, huh?

I'm good BC! How are you tonight?
I saw all the mischief you and Siobhan caused in class yesterday.
How dare ya'll be mischievious without me!!!!!

Squeak squeak, it's definitely cool, and your happiness makes me want to give you a big hug! *hugs solid form squeak squeak*
*runs up to sour puss anon*
*smoochie!*
don't you worry your pretty little invisible anonymous head, anony.

I'm good, love! How are you? Did you catch the Peter Criss video I left for you this morning?
Hard Luck Woman is one of my favorite KISS tunes!!!
*goes back to bc and hugs again*
heehee!
have i missed anyone?
is there anyone left unspun, unsmooched, unhugged?
*stands in middle of room, waiting to pounce*
Wendy, I'm great, just eating some tacos at the moment. Regarding yesterday, that was nothing. I poured oatmeal on poor GS' head, and then I sneaked in a pack of cherry bombs in her purse. I had also put a pack of condoms in Siobhan's jean pocket too! Good times indeed hehe
Hello, BC, Ergo, Wendy, Elena, TJ, SDock!
Thanks Wendy, we will be looking for it! Great to see you on at the same time! Oh, and Sparkle moved back in with J.'s room. She got lonely in the pool house, so she snuck in and crawled into bed with her last night!
I had my stiches taken out today. YAY! Dr. Kent said everything was looking fine, that the wounds were healing well, even though he did say one of them looked like he had "socked me in the stomach with a softball" because of the bruising, but it's still normal.
The biopsy report came back too and every thing was fine, so that was great too. He released me to drive since I'm not on the pain meds anymore, and said I should be fully healed in another week or so.
Elena, you will not believe it, but I asked my Mum last night if she wanted one of the MCR calendars you have (if you still have one left) and she said "Sure! I'll take it!" She had already seen mine when she and Dad were here for my surgery. She never stops amazing me, and I hope she never does! She will be 80 in December, but we all joke if Bono came in the door one day, Dad would be history! ^_~
Love,
L.
Yes Wendy thank you!!
*sidles over to keep couch between TJ and self*
*snaps fingers*
oh yeah!
six, my room number for your list -- i'm in #18. the room with a window seat facing the moon!
Toujours you're way too happy. Take it down a notch girl. (just kidding)
I'm off for a bit. Take care all
And TJ, cool, you are solid!
So that means I can run up to you and grab....
THIS!
HeeHee...
Love,
L.
OP L, that's awesome! It's good that everything is going well.
l., that is such good news! i'm glad your recovery is so strong. :)

Wendy I wish they'd never taken their make-up off.
It was so cool seeing pics people tried to take of them ,they hid so well for so long, the it was a bit of a let down.
Wendy, lmao. I was actually hoping
Professor Anon had caught her having them in her pocket hehe
whoo!

*catches movement from corner of eye*
*wonders if TJ was that clodse before*
Thank you, BC, TJ. I'm excited myself. I was really worried about this surgery, but I'm so glad it's over.
I saw Paperheart in earlier talking about going to the eye doctor tomorrow. J. has had TONS of experience with eye problems, so she wants to talk to her if she comes back on tonight.

HOT DAMN - that was GOOD!!!!! You had GARLIC for dinner, didn't ya, TJ?
;-)
I am always so upset when people pick out Kapunua because she has a strong personality and is smart, at least in my opinion.
I have always liked Kapunua and Sdock because or their intensity and how opposite they are.
Sdock10 grew up in the south with her sister and her momma and she is soft and has kind words. She hangs on to her man even though it is better if she lets go of him. She seems delicate. She seems full of sadness. I think she is the heart of this blog.
Sdock10 are you all softness?
Kapunua. Her Father was a murder detective. She is surrounded by people who are hard like a trainer who makes students clean up puke. She sees death a lot. She let go of her man even though it might have been good if he stayed around.
Kapu are you all hardness?
I think you are both the extremes of this blog and I treasure you both. You make a balance. And you are both good people. I wish other's would leave Kapu alone but fierceness brings about anger so I think such a thing will never happen. I wish that Sdock10 will find happiness too. That is my wish for both of you.

*winks & cocks finger*
*head still nodding, curls bouncing*
Anon, I like being both soft and hard. You cannot have one without the other. Both traits have to coexist with one another, somewhat like the Yin and the Yang. They has to be a balance between the two.
Wendy, no word from Pancake-Zilla or Siobhan-san today unfortunately. Maybe tomorrow
nicely said anon.
they are playing 13 forgotten videos on TV
*bopping in chair may nead to get up and dance*
Caligula with Tears of a Clown
Anonymous:
Thank you :)
But otherwise, anon, you said some really sweet about them. This just shows that not every anon who comes here comes with vicious intentions.
whoa, ergo!
*waves piccy of fish*
this is huge!
oh! that reminds me!
i have something to share, too -- and now that i'm all ms. super-solid-chickie-poo-on-the-blog, i can do a clicky link for it!
*reaches into back pocket*
it's a demotivational poster from this fun website for writers i like to visit.
:D
Wendy,
J. is doing good, changing out her insulin pump right now. She has had a sinus infection for a few days, but it is getting better. I honestly believe she sneezed 150 times yesterday!
Ergo,
That is one big fish! I always had trouble holding the fish after I would catch them because of how they felt. I would make my Dad or brother take them off the hook.
Kinda like frogs. They are my irrational fear. I can handle snakes, spiders, lizards, mice, crickets, etc. but frogs give me the willies! I run screaming when there is a frog around.
Anon,
Nicely said.
L.
Thank you, Anon. I'm pretty sure you're She Wolf anon, am I right?
Oh, I'd hardly call that guy "my man," we weren't anything serious. And I didn't really let him go, he kinda just bailed one day. It's all good. ^_^ And my Dad wasn't a murder detective but a police officer. :D
I guess there are a lot of hardcase people in my life, but most of them are really good people. I like people with edge. :)
Anyway, thank you for your lovely thoughts, like usual. Sdock will be pleased to read them, too. You are very kind, thank you. ^_^
A little late but
*waves bye (for now) to Elena*

Wendy I wish they'd never taken their make-up off.
It was so cool seeing pics people tried to take of them ,they hid so well for so long, the it was a bit of a let down.
===========
Yeah, Ergo. I remember Paul saying that they took off the makeup because they where starting to become charicatures of themselves. They had been though so many 'guitarist' changes soon they would have the Monkey and the Elephant 'masks', LOL!
And they did eventually go back to the make up for the Reunion tour.
Gene and Paul (KISS) now own the copyright/patent on the Cat and SpaceMan makeup; so they now put whomever they wish in that makeup!
*jumps from the floor*
*rushes up to mustard, stopping bare inches from her face*
OH HAI! :D
*turns and waves madly at kapunua*
isn't this bizarre? i'm here!
you're all gonna want to kick me out soon, aren'tcha?
XD
TJ,
I liked that poster! That would do it for most horror writers, that's for sure.
How do you do the linky-clicky thing? I have a few things on Photobucket I wanted to post.
L.
TJ, that poster made my effing night. ^_^
We have demotivational posters and calendars up at work, too. My boss gets them from despair.com. But that one, by far, is my favorite. It kind of sums up my entire existence. Scary how true that is for any writer. O_O
Me, Myself and I
This story is just messing around and yes I am not a writer and I already know I am a crap. I just wanted to pretend I can write and just because I am bored. I hope you like it
“FUCK” shouted Fimble star as she yet again walked into the door. She was to busy looking in a dictionary to help her spelling when she noticed that the door was indeed closed. As she stood there for what seemed to be 15 minutes scratching her head in bewilderment she finally reached out her hand and pulled down the handle. She could feel that the handle was hot, yet she wasn’t quite sure why that was. Slowly Fimble star pushed the handle down and pulled the door towards her. She was weary about what was on the other side until she heard a noise. This is when Fimble started to get scared so she thought twice whether or not to open the door.
On the other side of the door was the kitchen. There were very few lights that dimly lit the surface areas, and you could see all the dirty cup marks that were scattered around. As Fimble star opened the door to lead into the kitchen, she heard the noise again so this time she was actually intrigued and interesting in what it was. Slowly fimble walked away from her room, the place where she felt safe, and further into the unknown. Very calmly she turned to her right and peeked around the corner and to her surprise, a giant slice of cheese was propped up against the kitchen sink area singing ‘teletubbies‘. Fimble was confused to what she was seeing and hearing so she screamed ‘VINEGAR’ at the top of her voice. Suddenly the slice cheese stopped smoking a cucumber and turned around to see this deranged messed up very bad at spelling girl stood with her jaw firmly open.
The slice of cheese panicked and to fumble’s amazement, start to chase her into the garden. Fimble was so scared at this point all she could do was run. She ran and ran until she hit the back fence. She had no where to run or hid. She panicked and quickly turned around to see the giant slice of cheese jump and land right on top of her. Fimble was no more after that, and I bet you are all wondering what happened to the slice of cheese? Well the police came and took the cheese away in a straight jacket. When they finally came around to questioning him, the cheese confessed all. His reason for sitting and squashing Fimble star was in fact because she could not spell. He went down in history as being the big cheese and unfortunately did not make it out of prison. They have central heating in those places now and the cheese couldn’t handle the heat.
The End
I'm actually going to go for a minute, I need to tend to Logan's nose. (He's my small bunny and he has allergies.)
So I will just post the address here, and it is the first four pics. The first is our betta, P.F.F., (pronunced Piff), then Rain, Dumplin, and me and Pinkle, my other bunny. Just wanted to share!

Fimble, ILU so hard for that. You ahve to know. And this:
Very calmly she turned to her right and peeked around the corner and to her surprise, a giant slice of cheese was propped up against the kitchen sink area singing ‘teletubbies‘. Fimble was confused to what she was seeing and hearing so she screamed ‘VINEGAR’ at the top of her voice

Yes Kapu I am the one you call the She Wolf Anon. I like how you feel protective and you are not afraid to go against other's opinions. It causes me to respect you.
Hello beautiful people, yes, I'm back. Let me give you all a piece of advice:
Try not to drive too much when you're taking sinus meds and you have a one-week-post-surgery patient in the car with you who can't tolerate you hitting holes and/or bumps in the road.
We had an adventure today, let me tell you! And yes, we lived to tell.
How are you all this fine (insert appropriate time of day here)?
J
OH MY GOD!!!

Fimble that was wonderful!
