Who would I be without that lost reality…and your face, your words, and your touch?
You sing karaoke
without knowing
the words.
Can’t read,
but can kill it
in a verse.
That sweet dance,
a remembrance.
With that in mind, I continue...
I am fascinated with the everyday condition. I watch and listen and I am prompted to return the favor with ink and fiber. I am captivated by the remote.
I am drawn to those who misguidedly assume they have little to offer. I admire those with the biggest hearts, and the quietest egos. And the vibrant, passionate, strong willed and self assured also encourage my craft.
The dark and pensive, the quiet and plotting, the spirited and confined, the naïve and unafraid…any combination a profit, all notions sublime.
The gravity of a book, a wise old woman, a tale told in three verses and a chorus repeated twice, the advice of those who know infinitely so much more, and the unexpected bit of hope that arrives when you say I love you.
p.s. paint your walls a deviceful shade of change and then you will know why.

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 4842 Newer› Newest»Hello 6. I'm not so great. I had a headache earlier and now my stomach is hurting. I may have taken to much pain medication.
Wendy, the only problem is nobody knows me as Amy, so the boss would be mighty confused by that!
Also, unfortunately, I'm the boss tomorrow. All day, by myself.

Hi Wendy, MJ! sorry, I snuck out for some pasta!
Hello 6 and Kd how are you guys doing?
If I knew I was going to be first I wish it had been something happier.
Hi KD!! (Would you prefer I call you Katherine?) How was your Friday?
Hello Amy and CC how are you doing?
MJ, not too bad. Just trying to find a way out of work tomorrow.
Not working so far.
-A
Oh no, Martha :(
You have to be careful with that pain medication!
Do you drink milk with it to at least coat your stomach?
Amy: Dang it! Well, I could just leave the name blank; but who would you hand the note to???
Cupcake: It's about time you decided to stay and chat for awhile! How've you been, love?
I'm ok MJ, I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling too good hun.
KD is fine anon.
MJ, still having problems with headaches? Are you getting enough sleep? It also may be stress related.
Until It Sleeps
Where do I take this pain of mine
I run, but it stays right by my side
So tear me open, pour me out
There's things inside that scream and shout
And the pain still hates me
So hold me, until it sleeps
Just like the curse, just like the stray
You feed it once, and now it stays
So tear me open, but beware
There's things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me, until I'm clean
It grips you, so hold me
It stains you, so hold me
It hates you, so hold me
It holds you, so hold me
Until it sleeps ...
So tell me why you've chosen me
Don't want you grip, don't want your greed
I'll tear me open, make you gone
No more can you hurt anyone
And the fear still shakes me
So hold me, until it sleeps
It grips you, so hold me
It stains you, so hold me
It hates you, so hold me
It holds you, so hold me
Until it sleeps ...
I don't want it
So tear me open, but beware
The there's things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me, 'till I'm clean....
I'll tear me open, make you gone
No longer will you hurt anyone
And the fear still shapes me
So hold me, until it sleeps...
Until it sleeps....
Well do what Frank did in the pass. Some cousin died. Or something like that.
How about a (fake) 24 hour virus, Amy?
Hello Lonely Insomni-Maniac
Most of this week I had been headache free. So I haven't needed to take anything. But starting on Wednesday they came back. I didn't drink any milk but I just had some water and I feel a bit better.
hehe yes it is Wendy. :) Good to see you. I'm doing ok, how are you?
KD sleep most of the week I have actually gotten a lot. Stress, could be.
For LIM:
SLEEP
Sleep, a solace to all mortals
Sleep, to some so natural
Sleep, to many so elusive
Sleep, to some so simple
Sleep, to some a real struggle
Sleep, for some, bountiful to envy
Sleep, for some, commodity to buy
Sleep, in it some walk riskily
Sleep, in it some talk profusely
Sleep, a gift to all human beings
Sleep, a basic necessity of life
Sleep well, wake up refreshed,
Step on to face daily challenges.

=====================
It's good to see you too, Cupcake!
What have you been doing? Are you feeling better about things?
Martha: Is your cat scan still scheduled for next week? I sure hope they can figure out what's causing all these headaches and your other problems.....
And, I hope it's easily treated
:)
Yes it is 6 .
Very sweet anon!
Maybe lonely needs a warm cocoa or someone to give a nice neck and shoulder massage. That would help.
MJ, if it's stress have you investigated alternative remedies, like aromatherapy, yoga etc. They sometimes help.
*looks around*
I know Elena is off being a wonderful daughter; but, where is BC tonight?
Yes I am Wendy. I have more important things to do than worry, I realized.
I have people who need me.
Joke time. Because I am feeling better.
Stayin' Alive
A cowboy told his grandson the secret to a long life.
He said, "You gotta sprinkle a little gunpowder on your oatmeal, see. If you do, you'll live to a nice ripe old age."
So the cowboy did this religiously every day, and sure enough, lived to the nice ripe old age of 96.
When he died he left behind 4 children, 8 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren
...and a 16 foot hole in the wall of the crematorium.

Donkey and Onion
What do you get when you cross a donkey with an onion?
A piece of ass that brings tears to your eyes!
Aww no need to worry about me Wendy. I'm a tough lil cookie... err cupcake.
Romance?
Karl and Milly were lying in bed one night. Carl was falling asleep but Milly was in a romantic mood and wanted to talk. She said, "You used to hold my hand when we were courting."
Wearily Karl reached across, held her hand for a second, and rolled over to try to fall asleep.
A few moments later she said, "Then you used to kiss me."
Mildly irritated, he leaned across, gave her a peck on the cheek and settled back down to sleep.
Thirty seconds later she said, "Then you used to bite my neck."
Angrily, he threw back the bed clothes and got out of bed.
"Where are you going?" she asked.
"To the bathroom to get my teeth," he replied.

Irish Pub Sausage
Shamus and Murphy fancied a pint or two but didn't have a lot of money. Between them, they could only raise the staggering sum of one Euro.
Murphy said 'Hang on, I have an idea.'
He went next door to the butcher's shop and came out with one large sausage.
Shamus said 'Are you crazy? Now we don't have any money left at all!'
Murphy replied, 'Don't worry - just follow me.'
He went into the pub where he immediately ordered two pints of Guinness and two glasses of Jamieson Whisky.
Thanks for asking cupcake. I have my health, my friends [real and virtual ;)] and family, so I am well!
I hope you are taking care of yourself.
Mj, lol. Wendy, I was gone most of the day so I came back earlier. I was here, but I was reading most of the time so that's why you didn't see me. How are you sugarplum? :)
I'm doing good mj, how about you?
Cc nice to hear you are a tough cupcake. I bet with pretty pink frosting.
I'm doing better now BC.
ELECTRIFYING SEX
An elderly couple is enjoying an anniversary dinner together in a small tavern. The husband leans over and asks his wife, “Do you remember the first time we had sex together over fifty years ago? We went behind this tavern where you leaned against the fence and I made love to you from behind?”
“Yes,” she says, “I remember it well.”
“OK,” he says, “How about taking a stroll 'round there again and we can do it for old time's sake.”
“Oooooooh Henry, you devil, that sounds like a good idea,” she answers.
There's a police officer sitting in the next booth listening to all this, and having a chuckle to himself. He thinks, "I've got to see this...two old-timers having sex against a fence. I'll just keep an eye on them so's there's no trouble."
So he follows them. They walk haltingly along, leaning on each other for support, aided by walking sticks. Finally they get to the back of the tavern and make their way to the fence. The old lady lifts her skirt, takes her knickers down and the old man drops his trousers. She turns around and as she hangs on to the fence, the old man moves in.
Suddenly they erupt into the most furious sex that the watching policeman has ever seen. They are bucking and jumping like 18-year-olds. This goes on for about thirty minutes! She's yelling, “Ohhhh, God!” He's hanging on to her hips for dear life. This is the most athletic sex imaginable. Finally, they both collapse panting on the ground.
The policeman is amazed. He thinks he has learned something about life that he didn't know. He starts to think about his own aged parents and wonders whether they still have sex like this. After about half an hour of lying on the ground recovering, the old couple struggles to their feet and put their clothes back on.
The policeman, still watching thinks, "that was truly amazing; he was going like a train. I've got to ask him what his secret is."
As the couple pass, he says to them, “That was something else, you must have been shagging for about forty minutes. How do you manage it? You must have had a fantastic life together. Is there some sort of secret?”
“No, there's no secret,” the old man says,”except that fifty years ago that damn fence wasn't electric.”

wendy that could be it.
it's worse if I get rundown and this week I was really busy.
Frank has it too doesn't he? It sucks a lot, I jsut get so unnnaturally tired
Here is a joke because they say laughter is the best medicine
State Trooper
spacer
A state trooper pulls a car over for speeding. In the car is an old lady who is hard of hearing and her husband.
When the trooper asks the lady for her driver's license the lady responds, “Heh, what did he say?”
The old man speaks up as he says, “HE NEEDS YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE.”
A few minutes later the trooper comes back to the car and says, “Ma'am I see you're from Florida.”
The old lady comments, “Heh, what did he say?”
The old man speaks up as he says, “HE SEES YOU'RE FROM FLORIDA.'” The old la
Mayo,
How are you doing tonight...errr, this early Saturday morning? I hope you are happy and well. Me? I'm so so. Just kind of floating along tonight. I'm glad I went and hung out with my sister. We laugh so fucking much. It's hysterical, but only for us. We are the only ones who get our humor. I feel sorry for our real life family and friends.
And now my thoughts on your thoughts and more thoughts about thoughts and stuff....It's funny how and when inspiration comes to us, isn't it? Like most of the time it comes to me while I am driving and I am always like...oh, I am going to remember that. I have to write that down, and then when I get to a slow down or stopping point. I can't remember it. Poof! Gone! And I have to wait and hope that it will come around again. Other times, I have days where everything inspires me. I am consumed with feeling and living and hoping and touching and the experience...so much, that if I don't write it down or talk about it, I feel like I will explode. Weird.
I am drawn to people I think I can help. And stepping outside of myself, that is the stupidest thing to me. It makes no sense. I feel trapped and helpless in my own life. What makes me think that I have something someone else can use? I don't know, but I have to reach out and try. To think that someone is out there feeling lonely, unheard, and unloved...invisible...breaks my heart.
I am fascinated by all aspects of human nature. The way we are all capable of such unbelievable hope and love or complete dispair and darkness. Careful to walk the chalk line....one push this way or that way and everything changes in an instant.
It's crazy to think that we have the power to construct our world around us into just what we want it to be. It can be as pretty or as ugly as we choose. Colorful or dark. Smooth lines or jagged, razor sharp edges. If we don't like it, sometimes we are lucky enough to get the chance to start over, and this time we promise ourselves we are going to get it right. We sit down and start cutting and pasting and what do we find ourselves doing? Creating the same shit that we vowed to never do again.
The gravity of a book, a wise old woman, a tale told in three verses and a chorus repeated twice, the advice of those who know infinitely so much more, and the unexpected bit of hope that arrives when you say I love you.
This is my favorite part of your post....there's not much more that I can add to that.
Music....I have said it before and I will say it again. If I could find a way so as to stick a needle in let it run through my veins, I would. And only people who truly get what I'm saying will understand what I mean. (Mustard, feel me?)
Mayo, I hope wherever you are tonight....you are reading the words, listening to the voice, hearing the song, and feeling the hope and love.
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. What color?
Are you feeling okay ergo?
It's very quiet at the manor tonight, isn't it?
No Elena, no Miranth....Angel, Triston...love poetry anons....
I think perhaps our Insomni-maniac even fell asleep!
So given the fact that a lot of people here are active in protecting wild life I decided to post this.
I just watched the local news talk about this. I really like this guys idea not only is he helping wild life but also the people who live near by.

SUNDAY SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
August 26, 2001
When most people hear the phrase "environmentally friendly clothing," they think of shapeless hemp garments. Faded "Save the Whales" T-shirts. Birkenstocks.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. But Mike Korchinsky, founder and CEO of Wildlife Works, had a different vision. It involved good causes and clothing, but in a way that had never been tried before.
The lifelong environmentalist, who worked for Accenture and founded Axiom Management Consulting, had his epiphany while on a private retreat in Kenya in 1996. Beyond the jaw-dropping experience of seeing elephants and other endangered animals up close, the trip provided "a crash course on community wildlife conflict," he says from the company's Union Street office, where boxes of merchandise crowd the stairwell.
Korchinsky started asking questions, and learned that as a result of Kenya's population exploding from 6 million in the 1960s to 35 million today, people had increasingly been forced to compete for scarce resources on often barren land. Wildlife was typically confined to reserves created during colonial times, without consultation from the people living in those areas. Poaching was commonplace.
It became clear to me that to have wildlife conservation, the answers need to be economic," he said. "Connecting wildlife to work is the idea that I came up with."
But it took Korchinsky a year and a half to flesh out a business model and decide where to try it out. He cashed in his chips from Axiom and started rounding up private investors, many from the Pacific Northwest. In 1999, Wildlife Works purchased a failing cattle ranch on the edge of Tsavo National Park and constructed an eco-factory and wildlife sanctuary. The 20,000-acre factory, made using rammed earth, was completed in December of last year.
Korchinsky chose Kenya for both practical and sentimental reasons. Using a grass-roots approach, he worked with the government and tribal councils to convince them that wildlife was a unique asset that could be protected without jeopardizing their livelihoods.
Rukinga, the 80,000-acre sanctuary surrounding the factory, is home to 47 mammal species and several endangered species. When it first opened, guardians found 800 snares set to trap animals. A year and a half later, the elephants have returned, and Korchinsky considers the snares' scarcity "a testament to the community's buy-in."
SAN FRANCISCO BASE
Then came the challenge of "finding the right mix of design and styling" and making sure the price would be competitive. Early designs, such as the signature safari jacket and khakis (a favorite of Korchinsky and other "deep green" types, he says), helped establish the brand. The company's sporty T-shirts, however, really tapped into the fashion zeitgeist. Creative Director Tammy Hulva was brought on late last year to make sure the clothes stayed on top of trends, such as boot-cut pants and the logo craze. A higher-end women's line of jewel-toned hemp silk dresses and separates is planned for winter.
The animal-themed lines make up the bulk of the collection, and are designed with endangered species as mascots of a place or the Rukinga Sanctuary, while the "Activist" group promotes slogans such as "Tree Hugger." The organic cotton shirts ($28) come in baby T, tank or long-sleeved styles, and a variety of unusual warm and cool colors like banana, sapphire and peat. Howard Gee, who co-owns A B Fits in North Beach, started carrying the shirts a few months ago, and has found plenty of takers.
They're really cute women's tees that are great colors, and the fit is really good, too," he says. " The difference? Unlike most T-shirt companies, which purchase blank shirts in bulk, "these T-shirts are cut for them by a designer," Gee says. "It's cut so that it fits the feminine body pretty nicely."
"We wanted to reach a mainstream market," Korchinsky says. "We felt our message would carry a lot of weight with celebrities."
In fact, celebrities have been some of the line's biggest fans. Wildlife Works clothing is carried by chichi Fred Segal in Santa Monica and shows up on a long list of Hollywood's usual fashion suspects, including Catherine Zeta-Jones, Helen Hunt and South African-born actress and environmentalist Charlize Theron, who is particularly interested in helping save black rhinos.
A STRONG BRAND
Korchinsky's experience consulting with companies such as IBM, Levi and Esprit proved invaluable. "People were losing sight of what a brand is supposed to be: a reflection of what is special and unique," he says. "The time was right for a very strong brand reflecting a reality that was much stronger than had ever been in the market before."
Korchinsky believes consumers want to do the right thing and support causes they care about, but often aren't given the opportunity. Wildlife Works "provides an easy way for people to get involved in helping wildlife."
To date, Wildlife Works has channeled $1.2 million into its Kenya efforts, and is projecting $3 million sales in next year. T-shirt reorders are about 300 percent, and retailers from coast to coast have committed to carrying the line again.
For now, Wildlife Works' clothing lines are produced in San Francisco because it's easy to ensure environmental protections, good labor practices and a steady source of organic fabrics such as eco-fleece, eco-wool and hemp silk, Korchinsky says.
But training has begun at the Kenyan eco-factory, and Korchinsky estimates its first production will be in a few months. Since the beginning, Wildlife Works has employed townspeople as trainers and wildlife guardians, and has used proceeds to help upgrade schools. "I'm in it for the long haul," Korchinsky says. "When I left my other business, I felt like I'd become a victim of my own success."
He wanted to make sure his next venture was one he'd be happy being successful in.
And?
"(Wildlife Works) has been amazingly successful, beyond our wildest imagination."

=======================
I don't know about Frank; but I've had it since I was 19 and it DOES suck! Does your doctor have you take a gazillion vitamins as well?
Sometimes I think I can hear myself RATTLE when I walk ;-)
It is quiet Wendy, I have a story by a friend of mine about an all together more debauched manor however, to keep me entertained.
that's a great idea he had MJ
was there more of the joke before?
The memories of my family outings are still a source of strength to me. I remember we'd all pile into the car - I forget what kind it was - and drive and drive. I'm not sure where we'd go, but I think there were some trees there. The smell of something was strong in the air as we played whatever sport we played. I remember a bigger, older guy we called "Dad." We'd eat some stuff, or not, and then I think we went home. I guess some things never leave you.
you too wendy! Yeah I take vitamins but it seems to hold it at bay and then one day - wham!
It's not often thank goodness.
Martha! Thank you for posting that story!
I going to have to check out the website. I might have to order one of those sapphire "Tree Hugger" t-shirts.
:)
Sorry about that all of the joke didn't come out.

The trooper mutters, “Boy, one time, I got the worst piece of ass I ever had in Florida.”
The old lady replies, “Heh, what did he say?”
The old man yells, “HE SAYS HE THINKS HE KNOWS YOU!”
Aww thanks wendy. Goodnight solly.
evening triston
memeories are lovely things! And I love the "accuracy" of yours, lol
Its amazing how some thing are just so vivid in your minds eye.
hahaha MJ thanks for that!!
goodnight sdock sweet dreams
Ergo: yep, me too!
Triston: Welcome back! We missed you.
What lovely (and slightly humorous) memories of your family!
How are you tonight?
Triston Anatole ... I don't believe we've met.
If so... crap! and sorry!
:)
Hello Triston Anatole how are you tonight?
6 on the story they did on the news they said other wildlife groups are looking into that business plan.
And how are you doing on this lovely night Ergo.....The moon has been spectacular hasnt it!!...or is this a street light I've been gaulking at!!
LOL! I was just about to ask you what happened to the punch line up there, Martha ;-)
I am well Wendy and you?
Hello triston. Good to see you again. Ergo, the virus thing sucks. I do believe frank has the same condition and one where he is more vulnerable to illnesses, but he's such a bundle of energy on stage. I want to give him a hug for some reason ^_^
Ok This one may take me a minute to type out.
The moon is lovely tonight, isn't it.
That's right! Cupcake has never met Triston....
*makes formal blogbelieve introductions*
Triston Anatole it is interesting the things that your mind will remember.
you may not remember all the little details or maybe it is only the little details you remember. But the flavor of the moment is always still there.
Ooops, Goodnight Solly and sweet dreams to you!
Did we forget KD back at that electric fence???
Triston: I am well, thank you sir!
Goodnight SD10
Ergo: did it mess up your body clock and your sleep schedule as much as it did mine?
A teacher asks little Johnny if he had 3 crows sitting on a fence and a hunter came along and shot one of them how many would he have left. Johnny thought for a second and replied...none. The teacher puzzled asked well how do you come up with that answer. Johnny said well when the other two crows heard thwe gun go off they flew away. The teacher said Johnny thats not exactly the answer I was looking for, but I like the way you think.
Johnny said great so let me ask you a question. You have three women eating an Icecream cone. Ones licking it, ones biting it, and the other is eating it. Which one is marrie? The teacher exclaimed the one licking it!! Johnny said no...The one with the wedding ring....but I like the way you think!!!
the moon has been beautiful triston though I get to see it before you, our nights have been quiet and cool, and we have no streetlights to distract from the beauty of the moon and stars
Hope I didnt screw that up!!
Hello Cupcake.. It is my pleasure!!!
oh triston i'd heard that but it's a great one!
wendy i think it's doing it a bit now, but years ago it was awful
Haha, Triston Anatole
Ohhh....little Johnny's parent's better keep an eye on him! LOL
Triston Anatole said...
Hope I didnt screw that up!!

I bet that was what Johnny was thinking!
Yes...the evil Vampire!! Has a house full of kids dying Easter Eggs!!! Ha Ha Ha!!! They are evil easter eggs tho!!

I am looking for one right now
Nice to meet you Triston. :)

You'll do okay for awhile and then, like you said - WHAM!
Triston: Since I can't ask how your day was, how's the evening going? Besides enjoying the view of the moon, that is?
Are you in the mood for another dance?
As a butcher is shooing a dog from his shop, he sees $10 and a note in his mouth, reading: "10 lamb chops, please."
Amazed, he takes the money, puts a bag of chops in the dog's mouth, and quickly closes the shop. He follows the dog and watches him wait for a green light, look both ways, and trot across the road to a bus stop. The dog checks the timetable and sits on the bench. When a bus arrives, he walks around to the front and looks at the number, then boards the bus. The butcher follows, dumbstruck.
As the bus travels out into the suburbs, the dog takes in the scenery. After awhile he stands on his back paws to push the "stop" button, then the butcher follows him off.
The dog runs up to a house and drops his bag on the stoop. He goes back down the path, takes a big run, and throws himself -Whap!- against the door. He does this again and again. No answer. So he jumps on a wall, walks around the garden, beats his head against a window, jumps off, and waits at the front door. A big guy opens it and starts cursing and pummeling the dog.
The butcher runs up screams at the guy: "What the hell are you doing? This dog's a genius!"
The owner responds, "Genius, my ass. It's the second time this week he's forgotten his key!"

Yes...the evil Vampire!! Has a house full of kids dying Easter Eggs!!! Ha Ha Ha!!! They are evil easter eggs tho!!
=======================
You didn't suck the yokes out, did you??? ;-)
ergoproxy said...
what does and evil easter egg do?
lol
I've never dyed eggs but it looks like fun, do you make patterns?
=======================
I used to love the "swirl an egg" dye kits! You could put a few drops of the dark oils in the water, swirl your egg around for a bit and the end result would be a wicked looking egg!!! True Easter Egg masterpieces! :D
My evening is well!! We have easter eggs being died...and if the kiddies are real good we'll wing on down to Temptations and I shall rustle them up some grub!! ;)
I love to dance, but slow, with my partners hand tucked under close to my heart!! I'll only Watch others jiggle about!!
Suck the yokes out...you devil!! I am a vampire, Not Rocky.
Sorry guys, had a warm shower, now I'm off to indulge my skin with some fragrant body cream.
Have a goodnight all with sweet and sensual dreams :)
I collect fragrant body creams KD, they're wonderful aren't they?
Sleep well. :)
he Hippie and the busdriver
One day there was a hippie who got on a bus. The bus was
very crowded and the man took a seat next to a young nun. He
was very attracted to the nun, because she was surprisingly
beautiful. After getting his courage up,he finally said to the
nun "Will you have sex with me?"
The nun,disgusted, told the bus driver to stop the bus and she
got off. The man was very disappointed and he moved up to
the front of the bus to wait for his stop.
Seeing that the young hippie was upset, the bus driver decided
to help him out. He said to the young man, "I know that nun.
Every night, she goes tothe grave yard at 9:00 to pray at the
grave of her friend. If you go thereand pretend that you are
Jesus, there is no way she would turn down God's request. Just
tell her that you are Jesus and ask her to have sex with
you."
This gave the hippie great hope.That night, he went to the
graveyard, and sure enough, there was the nun.As she kneeled
down, he decided to make his move. He walked over to her,
dressed in a white robe with a hood and said to the nun "I am
Jesus Christ, will you have sex with me?" Now, of course the
nun could not deny the power of God, so she agreed. "I just
have one request," said thenun, "it has to be anal sex, so I can
remain a virgin and continue in my sisterhood." The disguised
hippie agreed and the two had sex.
When they were done, the man thought that it would be funny
to reveal his identity to the nun. He took off his robe,
revealing a tye dyed shirt, ripped jeans, and hemp nacklaces.
"HA HA!! I'm not Jesus, I'm the hippie!" He exclaimed.
Much to the young man's surprise, the nun took off her habit,
revealing a gray shirt and gray pants. Laughing, she yelled
"HA HA! I'm not thenun, I'm the bus driver!"
WEll, those kiddies best be good!
Do you wear an apron when rustling up the grub? I love a vampire in an apron! ;-)
Yep, typical male; only wants to slow dance.
But, the way you describe the slow dance is AWWW inspiring!

==================
Yeah, but I hear those yokes are GREAT for STAMINA!!! ;-)
Goodnight KD and sweet/electrifying dreams to you!
Martha: Loved the joke. Poor doggie though!
The image of a bunch of little vampires running around your house dyeing eggs is somewhat funny to me.
Stamina....Whole blood!! Thats what does it!! Puts the lead in your pencil.
Haha I like that one TA.
Slow Dancing, talking very sweetly, and a little eye contact. I call it dancing, been that way for centuries.
Triston! I have a feeling you're drinking more than blood tonight.
Or you've enhaled too much easter egg dye! LOL!
Ergo, BC, Cupcake: where did ya'll go?
Did ya'll borrow Elena's knot book?
Hmmm......
goodnight KD sweet dreams
awww the kiddies with their little stumpy fangs, attempting to be bats and crashing into things....
loving the jokes MJ and triston!
Goodnight katherine. Sweet dreams.
Goodnight KD have sweet and lovely scented dreams
I'm here Wendy, lurking in the wings and whatnot. :)
Just thinking is all.

======================
Running around in little capes...
That is a cute visual, isn't it!
hmmm...because of the joke or the pencil, or the dancing, I am at a loss here...I've had a glass or two. ;)
The lead in the pencil!
Although, when it comes to those pencils; leaded IS much better than unleaded *wink*
Yes...They are good for a laugh...its hilarious as they cut there lips on their fangs trying to blow bubbles on Easter morning!! I should take pictures!! All the kids get bubbles...the floor in the lair gets so slippery from all of those damn bubbles...
6 I am know thing of one of the last episodes of Angel. Where there was a demon that had a lower class demon with a cork in his wrist and would drink from him. He would pull out the cork and pour it into a wine glass.
Modern technology! Makes it possible for even vamps to have kodak moments!!!
Are you sure those bubbles are the only things making that liar slippery? Hmmm......
bubbles! how cool I love bubbles.
anyone have a foolproof way of making good rabbit prints on a wood floor?
The fantasy must continue
A nice little Vampire family on Easter morning.
But are you more Adams Family or Leave it to Beaver?
Martha: I remember that episode!
Remind me never to allow anyone to insert a cork in me! ;)
Yes of the kiddies...but not for me!! I have not seen myself in over a hundred years...I never know if I am having a bad hair day. I shower, shake it and let it go. The wilder the better.
I have no kiddies, they belong to others. They do not fit in with my life style.
ok wendy your cork comment has me having to ask- has anyone seen a movie (animated ) called The Missing Link?
it has a dinosaur who tries to breathe fire but it comes out the wrong end and the guy 'Oh' says he'll fix it and it says "what are you gonna do? stick a cork up my ass?" then you hear this twisting squeaky cork noise and "he ...stuck....a ...cork ...up ...my ...ass! Heeee...stuck a cork...up my ass! asshole"
it is one of my fave movies, along with Meet the Feebles
Umm....okay, that last comment of mine didn't sound quite right!
Ergo: exactly what are you going for with the rabbit prints????
Size wise, that is :p
Why Martha... I am more the Wally Type!! Matter of fact that one of my favorite lines for any tv show. " Ward, you were a little hard on the beaver last night"
triston other peoples kids are the best...they go back.
so anyone?
bunny prints??
ideas???
I think kids fit in with vampire life. You can use them as cute little decoys and such.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That gave me a serious case of the giggles!!!!
*must remember he was speaking of hair*
The cork is for the bottle. It stops the suction...hmmm....my rocker side reveals itself.
Well.... I should probably push off, and do something productive.
Or perhaps not... I'd really rather sit around in my white bunny ears and eat chocolate.
Yes, I was a bad cupcake this year and got all my chocolate early!... like 5 days early.
Meh...
I was hungry.
Besides, I'm wiccan, I'll eat when I want damn it!
It was nice to talk to you all again, it's been too long!
Take care, and have a good easter (Just in case I'm absent for a while)
xoxo cupcake
just popped my bread in the oven!
Martha, how demonic!!! I like it!! Anon616, how totally naughty!! I like it!
Cupcake, it was truly a pleasure meeting you!!
"he ...stuck....a ...cork ...up ...my ...ass! Heeee...stuck a cork...up my ass! asshole"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay, ya'll are going to kill me with laughter tonight!
*chokes on her GlenLivet on the rocks*
Sorry ep no idea the only thing I found was not to be used on wood floors.
LoL 6
goodnight cupcake happy easter!

Nice to meet you too Triston, hopefully we'll meet again, and I'll be more entertaining. My mind is elsewhere tonight!

Sweetcheeks: Are you feeling okay tonight? You're being very quiet.
As all Vampires...I play The Guitar with or without a violin bow ala James Patrick Page. I play Drums, I play the mandolin, and have been known to sing .
you want to be careful with your nuts triston, some people may react badly to them being in the cookies
ergoproxy said...
or cheese, approach me with cheese and wine and I'm yours!

And you said I WAS THE ONLY ONE you revealed that little secret to.....pfft!!!

I am having so much fun here tonight.

do I detect a little bit of enthusiasm?
and a question randomly brought up by a guy guest hosting a music show, "what happened to the clay bust of Lionel Richie in "hello"?
And speaking of RW (as Martha did up there, somewhere):
The tickets I secured where for MCR @ The HOB, New Orleans!!!!!
*happy dance*
Why Bleeding Chaos...I have missed you!! YOU are very quiet!! Hello to you my sweet!

I just slips out, sometimes!
