(It was by chance or perhaps happenstance.)
An Awkward Moment’s Legend.
It was one year ago today that I held your hand.
You asked if he did a good job.
It was a good job, wasn’t it?
It was, thank you.
You were quiet, I rambled
And you held my hand.
Can I get that for you? Oh yeah, sure.
I didn’t want to leave you,
You seemed to need
More time, one less drink, and one more smoke.
And I was intent on permanence.
Then, as is now, time passes like a plunge.
I am far, but not for long.
Do you miss me? Yes, I do.
I can’t hold your hand.
You will, soon enough.
In the meantime, I am waiting, asking
Are you sleeping to the sound of my voice?
I know you hear me, you do.
And this is ours,
A moment in time, continued.
And I am intent on permanence.
(How life can change, so quickly. In a moment, in a hand, it can shift. And everything that was will never be the same, in a good way, in the best way.)
p.s. shall we get matching rings? (Go on, laugh. I am.)

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 2512 Newer› Newest»OH, SNAP! FIRST PLACE TO THE GIRL IN THE PLUM SWEATER!
My prize: Bring me pictures of Adam Lazzara, ones I haven't seen before.
The Beatles win over half of my soul!
I was JUST singing that song today.
Just.
I kid you effing not.
hey there kapunua. :)
Twinkies taste like a light polyfoam filled with caulk.
My prize: Bring me pictures of Adam Lazzara, ones I haven't seen before.
Am I supposed to laugh?
I'd have to stalk the guy to get candid pictures you haven't seen ;)
Redrum:
I want no part of that.
yeah, but when i see dear prudence i think siouxsie, kapunua! ;)
the repair will be easy breezy, it's just getting the money for it. thank the gods for public access at the library.
lol redrum.
but it's so true.
oh, crap. gots to go.
mayo, once again, i like the tone in this entry. why am i getting the feeling you're writing your entries with a smile these days?
:)
i'll be back tomorrow, i think. so play nice, everyone, and keep the blog in one piece, please!
♥
-tj
Well Splash, then get started. ;)
Troofax: I haven't looked at the guy as much as most people think, and only have one or two pics--the one I used as my desktop for a while, most famously. ;)
Troofax: I have way too many pictures of Joaquin Phoenix.*
Redrum: Fair assessment. Isn't it true also that a Twinkie has a halflife longer than some stable molecules? ^_~
*NO SUCH THING.
Take care, TJ.
Okay, what do I get if I find you an Adam Lazzara picture you haven't seen?
I like cats.
*twirls hair*
what's better ho ho's or yodels?

Okay, what do I get if I find you an Adam Lazzara picture you haven't seen?
Well what would you like, Sweet Thang? ^_~
Anon: Ho Ho's and Yodels, let's see. i think Yodels win out, but Ho Ho's score points just for the funny name. Still, as far as crap food goes, I think that Ring Dings are the best.
I haven't had any of those in years though.
That would not surprise me, K.
I've eaten Twinkies perhaps twice in my life; why I went back the second time is beyond me. Stick to your guns, Mustard. It is definitely not worth it.
Oh, I remembered what I wanted to say to the anons.
Anons, it's the day after our anniversary. Can't you leave us alone to snog, like any normal group of 40 or so women and 3,4, perhaps 5 men? Seriously. Line up, Meffers.
BLOG ORGY!
Just kidding.
This one's a good one.
I seriously thought the dude was going to die of a heat stroke. (Ooo, go Mark!)
Ah! Iz Jeesuz, no?
I have no words, but dude, sweet 'stache!
Redrum, it has been noted. I will not eat Twinkies ever.
who has better snack cakes Hostess or Drakes.
Just thinking about Twinkies makes the back of my throat constrict.
HOSTESS!
Wid da mostest!!!
I don't even know what most of these "foods" you're mentioning are :/
Of the ones you found,
I had seen only one;
and needless to say,
it was guy on guy fun.
For the gift of Adam,
I wish to return
some beauty to you;
for what do you yearn?
I could live on pop tarts.
Weaver Girl:
Can I say that you win? I can, right? That made me laugh.
Um, lemme see.
Well, obviously it will have to be a Toro picture, because he's the shit in the best way possible.
So, off you go!
Okay, this is the first time I've been here in a while ( Not since my angry outburst, oh, about 6 months ago)
First allow me to LOL at all of you. Don't presume to know what I think, feel or do in my life. Secondly, who the fuck is lombard? This caught my attention when some of you said Tink=lombard. Ummmm no. Lombard is not me. I am not lombard. Thirdly, WHY ARE YOU STILL TO THIS DAY TALKING ABOUT ME?
I'm not important. Stop paying attention to something that is none of your business.
Have a nice day.
Tink
First time you've been here in 6 months and it just so happens to be the first time you have been discussed in six months? You must think we are as crazy as you!
Tink, would you like a cookie?
or a straight jacket?
maybe a sharpie?
I'd offer you a Twinkie, but they are, apparantly, not recommended.
But cookies always WIN!
4 EVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER
AND EVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER
7:18, funny, but not nice.
Tink, are you related to Tinky-Winky.
I never claimed to be nice.
I also never claimed to be Gerard's ex.
7:24 Doesn't everyone?
Lightning in his fingers
and light in his hair
and the sun in his smile --
...and a cute teddy bear?
As long as "everyone" doesn't include me!
*growls*
Toro. ;)
YHUS!
Toros are even better than cookies!!
Why, I thank you very much.
A daily dose of Toro never hurt anyone.
i like oranges
i like apples.
Orange Anon!
Where've you been?!
Oranges ROCK!!
I like strawberries!
And bananas!
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out.
It doesn't matter much to me.
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.
No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low.
That is you can't you know tune in but it's all right.
That is I think it's not too bad.
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Always no sometimes think it's me, but you know I know when it's a dream.
I think I know I mean "Yes," but it's all wrong.
That is I think I disagree.
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Annie is now randomly quoting The Breakfast Monkey after I showed her the Toro pics. Thanks a bunch! :)
Hello all
I see I missed TJ again
Damn, damn, damn.
How is everyone?
TJ whooshes in and out like the wind, Elena!
How are you this evening? :)
Hi Elena! Loved the new chapter, I do love me some Vampire Gothic, and I love the way you guys work in blog references. And I'm fine, except my kid keeps running through the living room saying she's turning my head into a stack of pancakes in a bad French accent. How was your day?
I'm Okay RW
How are you.
TJ is like the wind. Yeah she is lately.
I'm all right, Elena. Though Tuesdays are traditionally not good days for me. I try not to do much deep thinking on Tuesdays, only ends up depressing me.
But hey, at least it's not snowing!
Carrie,
Thanks for the gothic thumbs up. TJ and I are really having fun writing it.
My kids are gone at the moment so the house is nice and quiet!
Mustard,
You rock!
...just sayin
SNOW!
The have snow in our forecast. I just wish winter was over..
Of course as soon as it is then we move right into tornado season.
Hey sdock.
I've missed seeing you. I've missed the time we used to spend in the corner.
Tornado season? That sucks, Elena
:( Do you get any relief at all from the relentless weather?
We're supposed to get icy rain & snow tonight, but the last time they forecast a storm warning here it missed us completely. I have my fingers crossed!
Hi Elena,
Me too.
Hi RW!
Hi ALL!
Hi, Sdock! :D
Oh gods, my landlady's daughter appears to have taken up the trumpet!
>_<
RW
It's been a couple of years since we had a really bad tornado season. That time one went right over our house and destroyed several buildings about a mile away.
The trumpet? Oh my!
Hello all :)
American Idol sucks ass.
...just sayin
Hi Cupcake!
I haven't talked to you in forever and a day.
The trumpet? Oh my!
I just complained to my landlady. If her daughter has to practice the infernal thing, why does she have to do it in the room right above my flat?
It's been a couple of years since we had a really bad tornado season. That time one went right over our house and destroyed several buildings about a mile away.
Geez! That would have scared the hell out of me!
Solly, doesn't Danny totally look like Jessica Alba in the face? I swear, I vote him AI contestant most likely to get a sex change.
Hi Sdock sweetie!, missed me?
Hello all,
Are you all having a nice and relaxing night?
xx
Hey Cupcake
How's it going?
Fimble!! *huggles*
hey cupcake, how are you hun. thank you for visiting me.
*tackles FS*
And what naughtiness have you been up to today, missus?
*jumps on rw*
well today rw, i went to class and took a exam. stared out the window and listened to music. i returned home and waited for people to pick up my sofa's. then i went on the web cam to speak to my brother.
i then went to class at night and took anther exam, and now i have just returned home.
as you can see, i never never portray any kind of naughtiness. that is all down to you my dear.
so, enlighten me as to what naughtiness you have been engaging in
Hi Elena, I'm good, just cleaning. :)
How are you?
*stares creepily*
That's right, I haven't forgotten! XP
You're welcome FS!
*jumps on FS and RW*
DOG PILE!!!!
I, FS, have been upstairs to complain to my landlady about the noise level. I have also offended their cat (the orange and white one, not the friendly grey one who visits me often). He wanted attention, but NOT TO BE TOUCHED! And then he got all huffy when I very gently and accidentally brushed against him. What a diva! I swear, G-Way could take lessons.
so i just finished catching up and i see we had the delight of seeing tink again.
if you see this tink, hello. glad you are ok.
i think you may have left i wee bit less then 6 months seeing as this blog has been going for 6 months but none the less, nice to know your ok.
ARRRGGGGHH!!
*is flattened by a flying Cupcake*
Cupcake my feelings would be so hurt if you had forgotten.
*stares back*
dog pile? dirty bird. you been talking to rw lately havnt you. tuh tuh tuh
You know what? I don't even remember who Tink is. I recognize the name, but that's about it.
dog pile? dirty bird. you been talking to rw lately havnt you. tuh tuh tuh

hahahaha, the cat is a diva. bless, i bet it has been taking tips from you.
so how did the complaining go? is everything ok now. and was you in work today?
Hey guys!
Sorry, I got engrossed in reading the news. Ohio is still too close to call, damn. This is a sphincter clenching election, honestly. I'm going to be in a fetal position until November (and hopefully after that I can uncurl.)
Solly, I'm just not feeling AI this year.
Are you guys on AIM? I think I'll go on.
RW, I am far to tiny to flatten people...
though I did take a flying leap!
Elena, I have the memory of an elephant!... now who are you people?
And FS, I'm dirty all on my own! XP
i am a hiding meffer. just ring my door bell and the meffer will be a heffer
Jeez! I don't even remember which one was Danny, Carrie!
Cupcake, of course I missed you dear.
Fims, what you doing?
OOOOHHHH! Leonard Cohen!
Nice choice, dude with dreads!
sd10, i am reading your comments, what are you doin?
Hi there Kapunua :)
so how did the complaining go? is everything ok now. and was you in work today?
I don't like complaining to my landlady. For the most part, I've got a pretty sweet arrangement here. But having a trumpet played loudly & badly right above my head is the limit. If she played it upstairs in her bedroom I would probably barely have noticed it. Why does everything loud always have to be done right above my bedroom??
Yep, I was at work today. I am making an 1850s silk bodice, so things are looking up.
Good to hear Sdock, I missed you too.<3
RW, I am far to tiny to flatten people...
though I did take a flying leap!
If enough speed is gathered and said furry object is launched from a high enough height, I'll bet the cat could flatten someone, regardless of how little he actually is!
Dread dude rocked.
dreads guy is oh so pretty but I want to shave his head, and Danny sang Tainted Love, Sdock.
Fim,
Im not sure.
Ooh a bodice RW? sounds awesome.
rw, well sounds fun at work. can you take pics of what you make?
sd10, are you eating pickles?
It's pretty sexy, Cupcake. Well, by 1850s standards, anyway.
Good point RW.... scary though..
*looks up expecting to see a vicious cat*
And hi there Carrie! :D
Oh Tainted Love dude, yeah he so did!
rw, well sounds fun at work. can you take pics of what you make?
I could, if I had a digital camera.
I don't. :/
hey ho2. ya working tonight?
Somebody did Leonard Cohen? Oh my god! Oh my GOD!
I must have mentioned once or twice* that Leonard Cohen is like my Lord Of Song, right?
I don't think I could stand someone on AI doing one of his songs. Which one was it? Probably Hallelujah, right?
*a minute
I'm sure it is RW... I myself am rather fond of bodices and corsets... not the REALLY extreme ones though, coz... ouchy.
Weird... I just picked up an issue of UNCUT and there was Leonard Cohen.
I've got two corsets, Cupcake. An 18th century one and a late Victorian one.
guys, i am here and there tonight. i have an exam in the morning at 8. i will be studying so i will pop in and out tonight ok.
Hey Pastry and RW! Sorry I'm bad about saying hey to people. I do see you there, it's just like being at a family reunion, except you guys can't see me nod to you through the computer, I keep forgetting that.
Oooh RW, I'm jealous!
Hullo, Carrie! :D
FS, where do you think you're going, madam??
Cupcake, they're replicas, of course, not the real deal. I made them myself :)
sorry rw, i have to learn the journalizing of 3 different accounts and the posting of ledgers.
FS: excuses, excuses!
WTF?
Are you guys gonna run off from here too now that I'm here?
Huh?
Just playin'. ^_~
Paula Abdul is on some serious drugs and I want some. ^_^
Cupcake, they're replicas, of course, not the real deal. I made them myself :)
Of course :)
How long do they take to make?
eating pickles? No.
Smoke&Venom! hi there :)
Oh my gawd, S&V's found us!
Run awayyyy!!!
;P
Hi everyone!
OMG! Dread dude is totally pretty and I didn't even know it.
O_O
He's pretty. Like really pretty.
Of course :)
How long do they take to make?
Er... you know, I've never really kept track of how long it takes me to make the costumes I've worked on. I meant to do that with my TBP outfit, but forgot :/ The time it takes depends on whether you include the time spent on drafting the pattern & fitting the mock-up & doing alterations, or just the sewing together of it.
I will hunt you down, RW.
And smack you with my sickly whip.

Yah, it was "Hallelujah," and it was beautiful.

Somehow that has me strangely excited!
Jeez Louise! sounds complex! aren't you a talented little bunny? XD
*blushes*
Well, at work I mainly do the sewing together, someone else makes the patterns and does the fitting. I just do those bits when I do my own personal projects.
Sara has been doing some math, it looks like. She aged 5 years in the time it took us to question whether a 23 year old man would go out with a 16 year old girl.
El oh el.
Come on guys, just quit it, okay? We know you're not who you say you are.
Well, just checking in and now I'm checking out.
Not literally and not like permanently. O_O
Love you all!
XOXO,
S&V20
Bye, S&V! Have a good night :)

*squeezes RW*
XD
:D
It's quiet here..... TOO quiet...
>_>
<_<
Hmmmm
It's at moments like this that FS usually launches herself at someone, or does something else naughty!
You can hear a pin drop.
Well, a bunch of us are in AIM picking apart Mayo's post. ^_^
It was probably Fimble wot dropped that pin!
Someone, for the love of all that is good and great, crash through the wall and DO SOMETHING!
I have no AIM. :(
Good thing I have no AIM or I'd be on there going blah blah blah when I'm supposed to be cleaning. XP
Lol!
I'm just dancing around to my room cleaning, while listening to 'OK2BGAY' by Tomboy.
It's just fabulous! anyone heard it?
Hello CC how are you?
MJ!!! *hugs tight*
I'm doing ok, stressing a little because I have a lot of cleaning to do before my partner comes to stay a few nights.
How are you my sweet potato? XD
Time for me to head 'er. Have a good night, all :)
see i am not bloody here and i get accused of being naughty and dropping a bloody pin.
oh well, i have done enough study for tonight, i am tired and i cant do anymore if my heart or head is not in it. 2 months left and then i am freeeeeeeeeeeeeee
i am off to beddy byes, so nighty night everyone and i will catch you tomorrow.
xxx
I've been alright. what do you want to talk about
night fs
Night Fimble
Hello Martha.
hello elena
Goodnight RW, goodnight FS *hugs*
Sleep well sweeties!
MJ, I have no idea, my mind is a blank!
Elena how are you?
My mind is a blank as well.
I'm okay just sorta tired. I worked at home all day but of course that means working in my home office and taking care of the house. Working at the store is much easier.
Well good that you were working. At home well you get to use your own toilet
Speak to me with your sweet voice
And take me through another night
Speak to me with your soft voice
And I will surely be alright
If I can close my eyes without a fear
Speak to me with your sweet voice near
And I will speak to you with my sweet voice, and you know that I am near
Rest well...
Sorry Martha. Had to go settle a dispute among the returning children. Yeah, there's a lot to be said for having your own bathroom.
So are you feeling better?
Angel said...

That's lovely...
Yeah I am.
Solly has just informed me that Clinton got Ohio.
Goddamn this is close and it's freaking me out so badly.
So is our chat.
Dark stuff.
Good to hear Martha. Is it just me or is it strangely quiet here?
Cupcake I'm staring at you right at this moment.
Limbaugh urges listeners to vote for Clinton
Well girls, I had better go.
Let me mention now in case I forget, I will be absent for a few days as my 'significant other' is coming to stay and wants quality time.
So no internet for me.
Take care everyone, goodnight.
xoxo cupcake
I'll be back
Oh am I alone in Mayo's house? That's never a good thing. Think I'll poke through some of the rooms. No telling what I'll find.
Not all alone Elena. How are you?
*saunters*
Biiikeyyyyy...
^_^
Nah, we're lurking. Just chatting. ^_^
And reading news and elections and such.
How are you doing Kapunua?
Well, my knees are achy because I twisted too much in Kung Fu, and I'm tired and I have to pee real bad but the chat is really good right now and I don't want to get up, and I'm upset because Obama lost Ohio, but other than that I am peachy. ^_____^
How are you, Bikey? :D
Can I buy a period for Kapunua's post, please?
;)
Periods are free, Splash. ;)
Hey Bikey
How good to see you
hello?
who's about?
ok hi kapunua bikey elena and mustard MJ!!
Mayo:
Here's the deal. I hope you're doing well. And because today sucked for me, I hope twice as hard that you didn't have a shitty day.
I don't have anything profound (obviously by my standards) to say or anything to talk about. I just psuedo-barfed all of my emotions out for a man that probably couldn't care any less, and now I'm here rambling about it to you as if you would know who I'm referring to.
How do you deal, Mayo? You listen to a lot of things. It's kind of like that really bad super power where you can hear everyone's thoughts like that one Buffy episode. Not that I ever watched Buffy or anything (I lie) ;).
Anyway, it's just kind of surreal to know there's one of you and nearly fifty of us, and you're listening to our lives and thoughts everyday.
I hope you're okay. I really do.
Goodnight, Mayo.
Periods are free, Splash. ;)
I'll just leave this one be. ;)
Goodnight, everyone! I hope you all have a great evening. I'll see you all tomorrow!
Hey Kapunua and Ergo
So Kapunua come up with anything interesting while picking apart Mayo's post?
That sounds somewhat uncomfortable, Jules.
Things with me are as usual. Moral dilemmas, hiding from the ex, doing too much,and not doing enough. You know how it is.
Hi Elena, Mustard, and Ergo!
Mayo,
How are you tonight? I am totally confused on what day it is and it's only 40 mins from tomorrow...so umm, yeah...I am up way too late. I will pay the price in the morning. I know, I know...you don't want to hear me bitch about it...but I probably will and then you can say I told you so. Did you? No, you didn't. I almost fell for that. You're clever.
Okay, well I'm done babbling about nothing for now.
Hope you have a nice rest of today and a peachy tomorrow! Awwh come on...peaches are good, right? Georgia peaches. Those are the real deal.
What the hell am I talking about now? Only myselves know and they can't be too sure. They all have something to say tonight!! Lucky you.
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. Forever and ever.
Elena, we came up with lots of ideas and absolutely no frigging answers, as usual. We gather that at least bits of it are to us, tongue in cheek, and to the good. That's all we got, sadly. But for the most part we're agreed that it's pretty cool, the parts to us anyway. ^_^
Bikey, well, that sounds equally as if not more uncomfortable. I am not hiding from an ex. But I did run into a guy I dated, at work last week and that was awkward because I couldn't remember his name. O_o Err. And that doesn't speak to highly of me.
Moral dilemmas? That's why we're here, darlin'. ;D Spill.
My biggest dilemma tonight is "OMG OBAMA! YES WE CAN PLS!!!"
That, and, "what should I write?" Because I'm feeling creative and I want to write something but I don't know if I can whip up something cool or not.
I know a person who should check le phone
Hello ep
Kapunua yeah what you said sounds like what I've been thinking. Of course we are talking about the mind of Mayo...so who really knows.
Hope your knees feel better soon.
Well, nobody asked you, sir she said, sir she said, sir she said. So that’s settled.
Thank you, Elena. Part of the fun is the frustration.
Or, no, wait. ;)
Here's a good moral dilemma.What if you know you should do something for someone but in doing it you betray them anyway?
I thought the post sounded a bit melancholy underneath somehow, like something was missing
how is everyone?
I'm excellent!
bikey do you think it's something you could be forgiven for?
I would do it, but I'm a damn the torpedoes kinda gal, and think most people overthink things.
Goodnight
And hey ergo and bikey
Bikey, that is so difficult without context. I mean, you could be talking about anything. Like, oh man, your friend is on drugs, do you tell their family? Or like, Wow, I found the porn you wanted, should I leave it on the kitchen table?
Are we talking big and significant here, or small?
But mostly, is the betrayal bigger than the need?
oh goodnight martha, I hope I can catch up with you more soon, I had a busy day today, life is slowly calming down
sweet dreams
HI Carrie
Night Martha
Talk to you later.
