So...does this mean we’re going steady?

(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.)

I don't know Ergo. I can't imagine I'd be forgiven no matter what course of action I take.

No Jules, no drugs or porn. To tell you the truth, it seems small to me. My friend would make a much bigger deal of it.

Goodnight MJ, didn't see you there.
Hello Carrie!

elena said...

Bikey you gotta go with your gut feeling. Do what that little voice in your head says is right to do.

ergoproxy said...

well bikey then I suppose you'd have to think about whether the potential benefit for your friend would be worth sacrificing yourself friendship-wise

it's a hard choice

apart from that..are you well? I haven't talked to you for a while.

ergoproxy said...

how are you elena?
I read your chapter late yesterday it was great!

Anonymous said...

Yes Elena, you are right of course.

As well as can be expected Ergo.

elena said...

Thanks Ergo. I love writing gothics, I love the drama. Lord Mayo and his torment. I really hope TJ gets her chapter done. She was thrown by the twist of the secrets I put in. I want to see where she takes the story now.

Anonymous said...

Then Bikey: Which means more, your friend, or the situation? That's an honest question. Sometimes you have to cut your losses, you know?

Anonymous said...

I think that I shall never know
Why I am thus, and I am so.
Around me, other girls inspire
In men the rush and roar of fire,
The sweet transparency of glass,
The tenderness of April grass,
The durability of granite;
But me- I don't know how to plan it.
The lads I've met in Cupid's deadlock
Were- shall we say?- born out of wedlock.

elena said...

Bikey I just always try to look at things like this...

At the end of the day I want to be able to know that I've done what my heart tells me is right. It's important to me to stay true to myself and my feelings. Lord knows that's not always easy. Lots of times not doing what my little voice says would be much easier.

Good evening Fair Mayonaise;

New post? Fuck you for always posting right after I leave!! :P lol. Well, I'm extremely tired, had the longest day ever, this is my fifth day in a row working, tomorrow will be my sixth. Haven't really had a day off in a few months. (I mean, a day without school or work.) Ohh well, I shan't be complaining, it's my own decision to stick with these hours. I'm soo hungry. I'm pretty sure I should go eat. 11:05 pm, and I have not eaten yet today. *sigh* It wasn't intentional, I just forgot my lunch at home, and didn't have time to eat at work. I worked an hour overtime, so that made me smile. =]


How was your day today Mayo? Need a hug? I sure as hell do! So, here's my daily piece of advice that I know that you won't ever fucking use; DON'T PUSH YOURSELF OVER THE LIMIT, SIR. =] Annd.. I think I will say, don't let anyone take advantage of you? =]

I can't think of what to say;

Good night;
- 007
<3

ergoproxy said...

hello PH!
*hug* have something nice to eat.

bikey are you poorly?

elena I feel the same way but in reality I tend to avoid it until teh decision is no longer mine to make

Anonymous said...

I always saw, I always said
If I were grown and free,
I'd have a gown of reddest red
As fine as you could see,

To wear out walking, sleek and slow,
Upon a Summer day,
And there'd be one to see me so
And flip the world away.

And he would be a gallant one,
With stars behind his eyes,
And hair like metal in the sun,
And lips too warm for lies.

I always saw us, gay and good,
High honored in the town.
Now I am grown to womanhood....
I have the silly gown.

Anonymous said...

Yes, you all make very good points.
Thank you ladies. Now I must take my leave.

Goodnight all.
Keep well

elena said...

Nice talking to you Bikey

I must go for a bit. Back soon

Thank you, I love that verse. ^_^

Anonymous said...

Light after last dark,
your spark and your fuel
and hurling the universe
into a jewel,

a place without logic,
without shoulders or hands,
where skin parts from spirit,
where question commands:

If you want to go there,
clothed in just metaphor,
my brother, informant,
my three dollar whore,

we will walk down that dark
and unsavory street.
We will walk all unlit,
side by side, still discreet.

Here the moon rarely shines,
it is dark as the ink
that runs from your mouth
when we stand on the brink.

With fingers so agile,
and so hard to resist
I will wring out each word
in the curl of my fist.

Out of context, a ghost,
unknown but admired--
we stole him from you,
so have you been inspired?

You're dodging a bullet,
I'm lifting your veils,
and we're under the radar
and tangled in tales

and often the one thing
I'm able to say is
how is it with you,
this many a day?

What you do with your buckles,
your sheets and your bed,
"Well nobody asked you
sir she said, sir she said...."

Still, this Ann Whitefield listens,
while Jenny Diver speaks,
and Beatrice parries
while Mrs. Lovett seeks

a magician in the kitchen
who knows how to stir it
(and your numbered girl knows:
twice a day, you prefer it.)

Did you think that she,
like some, was unaware?
Hypocrite lecteur,
mon semblable, mon frere.


No: she hears you, as I do,
through a false separation
made meaningless still
by constant gravitation

and we gather on wings
and we search for the center
and we don't heed the signs
that tell us Do Not Enter.

So we wait now, in corners,
for you to begin:
a web of your words, now
spin, spin, sugar. Spin.

Your spark and your fuel,
the last dark before light,
your presence, your absence,
check the time and goodnight.

ergoproxy said...

no Amyranth, MJ had a run in earlier, I read it , I was out most of today.
I think it's just that time of night

elena said she had something to do and some of the others lie katherine haven't been about for a while. (miss you katherine)

Hey Amy

So are things still quiet around here?

My comment was to Weaver Girl, not a comment about the quiet.

Incredibly Quiet.

I rather expected another face off with the Anonymous by this point, but I suppose you have to sleep sometime.

well quiet is nice too

ok I'm off to do 3 hrs tutoring

Mayo

So I was in the shower thinking about what I was going to write tonight. Yeah, it sounds sorta creepy I was thinking about you in the shower but hey, I do some of my best thinking there. Anyway, I was bummed because the day had been truly, mind numbingly boring. So I got kinda angry and told myself that I really didn’t have to write something every night. Yeah, I’m a creature of habit and writing the goodnight just finishes off most days. I look forward to it. It gives me a feeling of peacefulness. Besides I’m so sure you really look forward to it too. (Pretend man, pretend) Thanks. Then I realized why I was angry. The day had been full of nothing. A wasted day. I hate those. I understand why I’m like this only thing is I can’t seem to stop the reason.

Ever since Sept 23 of 2006 I’ve been running full throttle towards a wall. So yeah, I know the exact date but I’m not going to explain that one. Oh Lordy, I’m actually gonna keep quiet about something. Surprises the shit out of me too. But back to the point. I can see what I’m doing. Massive, destructive behavior. I lost a whole lot of weight (about 70 lbs in 6 months) and I’m still doing it. Now I’m at just over 100 lbs lost. I shouldn’t, I know that but yet I continue on. I took up smoking. (Nothing like taking up a bad habit at my age, I look doubly stupid) and I drink more than I should. See running towards that fucking wall and I can’t stop. So why do I do it? That’s easy. I’m trying to make up for all the things I never did. Stupid, isn’t it? Just nod, it’s okay, I know. I just feel like I have to live now, that maybe I’ve waited too long. Bottom line…I can’t really see tomorrow. I’m always pretending I can. I’m always saying “oh tomorrow will be better” But the honest truth is this, I can’t see tomorrow. I don’t believe in it. Well hell, this is so turning into one of those post I’m going to look at and say “should have condensed into I’m fucked up”. I am fucked up; I do understand this about myself. I just don’t know how to change it. No the saddest thing is I don’t think I want to change it. If I did I’d be afraid I go back to the person I was before and that I can’t chance. That I won’t ever let happen. In my head I’m saying well damn woman how about a happy medium. Slow down, look to the future. My eyes are open, yet they see nothing.

Mayo, never get to this point in your life. Live each day the way you want to live it. Trust me regret sucks.

Night Mayo

Elena (running towards the wall)

To ponder/inspire/encourage today:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once you have started seeing the beauty of life,
ugliness starts disappearing.
If you start looking at life with joy,
sadness starts disappearing.
You cannot have heaven and hell together,
you can have only one.
It is your choice.

May we all find just a little piece of (our) heaven today!

Hugs and Love,

I miss him too :(

Do you think all my *pounce, tackle, hugs and kisses* scared him off?
Sorry! *blushes* I can't seem to control myself, sometimes :P

Well, at least the APO news cheered me up!!!!

How are you, love? Staying away from all the terrible illnesses going around - I hope!

Morning Mayo, Miranth, FASC & 616 (& PP?)!

I'm still surfing the not-having-to-talk-to-numptys-on-the-phone high, but I have less time to read the comments here - every silver lining has a cloud as they say, so an emo tear for Kass' Mayo-denial.

To t'other K, re: MSI. Yes I do realise that, seeing as I wouldn't credit 75% of them with the necessary intelligence - I just like messing with obstreperous Anons who clearly haven't read any of the intervening posts! I do love how being able to "move like a stripper" is considered in some quarters to be the very height of female achievement; it's like the Suffragette movement never happened. Sigh.

I see my future hubby paid a visit - *blows a kiss to Bikey* - all I have to do now is buy a single to NJ and pack my stalking kit...

Love,
Kass xx

Yes Wendy, *embracing the madness* :D

Bye FASC!

Have fun with your boy! They grow up so quickly, so enjoy him now :)

sdock10 said...

Mayo,

Morning, how are you today? I hope you are well. I hope you are truly happy. What do you have planned for today? Me? Dude, I'm trying so hard not tell you how sleepy I am just because I knew I would be...but yeah, I'm sleepy. I have a headache and I'm just not feeling my usual self. Now what that means, I am not entirely sure. Maybe I just haven't made up my mind yet which self I want to be. Right now, I want to so choose the self who doesn't care and says fuck it all, but that would be just too easy. And me, well, if I'm good at one thing it's not doing things the easy way. It's a gift. I take the simplest of all tasks and make them completely impossible. I tell myself it's because I love a real challenge....but....

I know the real reason.

I sweat the small stuff. I always have. It's all about the details. It's about all the little tiny pieces and making them fit. Making it balance and making it make sense to ME. Guilty of totally missing the whole forest for worrying about not just the trees, but the leaves on the groud, the temperature outside, wondering if wild animals might attack me, scared of getting lost in the forest, and of maybe loving the forest a little too much and leaving someone behind.

Feel me?


Time for Frosted Flakes! They're so totally Grrrrreeaaaaaat!

Sorry, I had to.

Love to YOU Always,
S

p.s. Fuck, I forgot matches.


Thank goodness for the preview button! I totally left out all the important words. Niiiiiice!

Have you ever deeply admired someone to the point where you find yourself loving even the strangest things about them?

I have never understood why she sometimes posts at 5 O'clock in the morning. Insomnia, perhaps?


Hmm, as well as possibly being our lovely BC, could our smitten anon be referring to either our smiley ray of sunshine 616, or, our newly blue Miranth?

GOODMORNING ALL!
Rise and shine it's breakfast time!

FASC and Kass, hope you are having a yummy lunch.

TJ, I hope that computer of your is sorted soon. Thank goodness for libraries.

Bikey, sounds like you are wedged between a rock and a hard place there. It's difficult when someone will get hurt no matter what you do. Best of luck with the difficult decision you have to make.

hello everyone
back at 8:30pm after tutoring 3 hrs had my dinner and now I'm showering
and off to bed, hope to see some of you tomorrow.
I'm tired, I need me a goodly amount of sleep each night. And I woke at 5 am today and didn't really get back to sleep properly, had one of those really frustrating dreams.
Tonight I feel like i'd just crash.
I don't get what these anons think they are going to achieve, it's just mean spirited.
Poor martha though she sure is tough!


So...

goodnight Mayo
wishing hugs, kisses snuggles and smooches to you and yours
you too SS

night miranth, wendy, kass, fasc sdock fimble and PP if you pop in later.And hi to anyone else who comes soon
It's 10pm here and I'm off to sleepy bo bo's.

hi and bye to ergo and PP on the other side of the world!!

i am about to make my lunch PP. i have over done the mushy pea and bacon soup. i think i'm going to have ham, mustard (in honour of MIB) tomato, cucumber and salad pittas. yes 2 of the buggers cos i am starving!!

ergoproxy said...

oh fasc I love pea and ham soup- which I think is basically the same thing, I freeze ham bones or bacon bones to keep for winter, but the pittas sound very yummy too.

Hello all

Hope everyone has a good day. A day filled with all the things that make you smile.

SS - I'm really sending this wish out to you extra hard. Miss you.

Smoke said...

So, did you miss me, Mayo? Yes, of course you did.

So, yeah, like whatever.

I'm still hungover from cough medicines. O_O

I'll have more for you later, I'm sure.

XOXO,
S&V20

Bellatrix said...

Goodmorning guys!

Just stopping by quickly to wish you all a wonderful day.


S&V and Bikey, glad to see you! ;)


See you all later!

To t'other K, re: MSI. Yes I do realise that, seeing as I wouldn't credit 75% of them with the necessary intelligence - I just like messing with obstreperous Anons who clearly haven't read any of the intervening posts! I do love how being able to "move like a stripper" is considered in some quarters to be the very height of female achievement; it's like the Suffragette movement never happened. Sigh.

I hear ya. On all counts, believe it. ^_^

PP said:

Kapunua, Your weaver girl poem was rather like a photo album with all the recollections in it. Very nicely done.

Thank you! I was reading old posts. ^_^


S(S)S: If you ever come by here, know that we miss you. But I am not worried because I have friends that I've not heard form in a longer time, and I trust that your "away time" is for happy reasons and not sad ones. ^_^ You are lovely.

Anon from last night who liked my poem, thank you so much, also! ^_^

NUTS, NUTS, NUTS! I had to cancel the order for the scarlet dress I needed for the benefit on Saturday because the company is redoing their warehouse. They won't be able to ship the dress till Monday. Thanks for heads up, dillholes! Now what am I going to wear?

Now I'm going to have to go naked.

Seriously, do not have time to go looking for another dress before then. O_o

CRAP.

Good Afternoons to E, S&V, Bella, K & Anon,

Are you going to introduce yourself or do I have to scroll back and see who Anon616, Farawaysoclose, Pickled Possum, Ergoproxy, Sdock and Elena gave kind words and greeting to - 'cos y'know I'm kind of lazy?!

Stuff often goes over Kass' head...

Hullo Kass!

I, too, am digging the phrase "tore up from the floor up" and I think I'm going to use it on one of my friends.

Welp, I was supposed to babysit Boychild this afternoon but now my cousin is staying home, so I will have time to look for another (RED) dress. Guess I won't be going nakie after all.

Ah well, maybe next year.

Anonymous said...

Good luck with the dress hunting Kapunua!

Anonymous said...

Thanks, anon! Dress hunting. ^_^ The dress is a dangerous creature in the wild. I've got to be utterly silent as I follow the dress prints.

Look! Those are definitely dress droppings! It's got to be around here somewhere. ^_^

I should eat breakfast before I get stupider. :)

Smoke said...

I wanna go dress hunting. ^_^
That would be so much fun.

In fact, I like to go t-shirt hunting, denim hunting, and of course the most fun of all...

SHOE HUNTING!!!

Thanks, Jules. Now I want to go shopping and I can't cuz I'm in prison. Way to rub it in to those of us stuck here on the inside. >_<

GRRRR!!!

Smoke said...

Oh God, Mayo! I forgots to tell you....

You are gonna be sooooo like sexcited. O_o

Guess what I'm getting this week? GUESS!!!!

D....S......L

And you thought I was fast before. Ha! You ain't seen nothing yet.

Muwahahah.

Ok, back to work now. ^_^

Principesa! I'm so happy for you! Now you just have to get AIM and we are good to go. You missed a fascinating conversation about cucumbers the other night. And you'll get the full effect of FImble's naughtiness.

Hey Anon, it was good to read you. Best of luck to you in your current and future endeavors. I am so happy for you; you deserve the best in life. ^_^

Smoke said...

I KNOW!!!!!!

Solly told me all about it. Some of what she told me even made me go like, "OMG! WHAT?!?!?!?"

Hee-hee.

I tried to get on the other night but it kept disconnecting me. My computer is a tricky little bitch and she likes to act up every now and then. Kind of like the owner. Hmmmmmm.

I'm hoping it will be set up either today or tomorrow. YAY!!!!

Anon, *hugs* :D

Smoke said...

That one does, don't they, K?

Deserve the best of life?

Yep. Yep. Yep.

And multiply it by like ten gazillion. ^_^

Smoke said...

So am I all alone again?

Anyone?

You guys know I really don't want to work but if you leave me all alone that's what I'll have to do.

Kass?

Anon?

Anyone?

Give me something to think about. Something to ponder on.

SOMETHING?!?!?!?!

Smoke said...

Please?

Tell me there is more to life than just making sure a hospital gets paid.

Anonymous said...

Forgive my abrupt departure, I had to take a call.

How is life treating you Princess?

Smoke said...

Thank God someone came back! I was about to cry. I was like OMG, is this a sign from God? Maybe that's all there is to life!

I'm okay. Just getting over the flu but it's all good.

How are you?

Kassiopeia said...

I'm here in body S&V, although the caffeine has taken care of my mind.

So I take it you've got Broadband now? Our home one is so sporadic it makes me wonder why I even bothered!

Hello for the bookstrore

I don't wanna work today.

Hey Smoke and Anon and anyone else

Smoke said...

You're right, Anon. It does. I just get paranoid sometimes when I think I'm by myself and I have to yell. ^_^ I'm glad you're doing good.



I'm trying to get it worked out, Kass. My husband just called and told me it would be Monday. GRRR!!!

I have like zero patience anyway so how I've lasted this long with dial-up is beyond me. It takes like 13 hours to download a two minute video.

So, in other words, I don't download very much.

Okay, I can't lie. I yell regardless. ^_^

I won't yell at you though. Not yet.

OMG! I'm supposed to catch you for PP but since I'm still full of germs well, I'll let you go this time.

I'll just yell at Mustard!

Never miss an opportunity to tell those you love how much they mean to you. I promise you will never regret it.

Go make some amazing memories today. Make them special.

Stay safe guys!

P.S. Elena, I owe you an email. We need to finalize our plans. Are you so excited?!!! I can't wait!

Words to live by, you guys.

Anima I am so excited about the concert too. We are gonna have so much fun.

i am so excited for you both! and jealous as fuck!!

atleast we get a blow by blow account when you get back!!

i am aware that i should perhaps not use the word blow infront of you elena!!! cos you just can't resist. i bet you're smirking right!!

that was lovely to have that visit wasn't it?! i am all happy now!

anima said...

Hi Kass!

Elena, it's going to be amazing...I can't stop thinking about it!

Bye Anon. And thank you. We will miss you.

Back to the grind...for realz. :(

Smoke said...

Exactly.

Smoke said...

FASC,

I don't know that it's safe to use the word 'blow' around anyone here. ^_~

Smoke said...

Well, I guess I have to face the cold hard truth. I didn't want to but I've run from it for as long as I possibly can and now, I'm just tired.

I must go back to work now.

*sigh

I know, you all would rather me stay here but I can't. Not unless Mayo agrees to support me if I get fired and so far he hasn't. ^_~

Play nice and I'll see you all later!

Love ya!

XOXO,

FASC are you implying that certain words are unsafe to use around me?

I will be happy to give you a Blow by Blow account of what goes Down.

How big did you unintentionally make my day? Really big, 'cause I love that song to the moon and back.

We sang that song as part of our annual choral event. The whole concert was a tribute to The Beatles, and we sang "Here, There, and Everywhere" a cappella.

Beautiful.

To lead a better life I need my love to be here...

Here, making each day of the year
Changing my life with a wave of her hand
Nobody can deny that there's something there

There, running my hands through her hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be
Someone is speaking but she doesn't know he's there

I want her everywhere and if she's beside me
I know I need never care
But to love her is to need her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share

Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there

I want her everywhere and if she's beside me
I know I need never care
But to love her is to need her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share

Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there

To be there and everywhere
Here, there and everywhere

I love how little phrases remind me of songs. It's always neat.

Elena, have a great day!

I'm off and back to do daily duties. Keep the peace :)

Talk to you later

Come back again soon, and maybe there will be some cookies this time!

Anonymous said...

Hey guys.

Back for just a minute, because I wanted to see if anyone has heard anything from Jade.

I left a comment on her blog, but I've not heard back from her yet.

I was just seeing if any of you had.

Anonymous said...

Bikey:

I wasn't quite sure what to say last night. As I was in a delirious, on-coming state of sleep, the advice would not have been good anyway.

This may not even be any good.

All I can say is that do what it is you can do to salvage the relationship and keep your friend "safe."

Speaking from experience, I tried to do this, but it backfired on me. Elders got involved, and I got the boot from my friend and their family. It's a complicated situation, but the point is, I thought I did what was right for me. I thought by doing what I did, it would be okay. But, by not saying anything in the first place, I inadvertantly messed up a friendship that will never be right again.

So, in essence, you have to do what you think is right, and allow the cards to fall where they may. There's nothing else you can do, because you will always question yourself: Should I have said something? Should I have taken action?

I wish you the best of luck in whatever's going on.

Anonymous said...

Did K call Mayo a 3 dollar whore last night...? Or did I read it wrong.

Mustard, I haven't really been here but I haven't seen where Jade has either.

I'm worried about her and her little sister.

Alright, thanks :)

I guess we'll just keep an eye out for her. I really hope everything's okay.

Anonymous said...

I know, wasn't the last thing that she said was her little sister had disappeared again? Or has she been back since then?

Bellatrix said...

Anon @ 11.30, you can’t even imagine how glad I am to hear you’re okay!
It made my day to see you here, really.

Your words...just thank you. They mean a lot to me. I’ll treasure them.

Take care of yourself.
Love to you, my special friend.



Jade, if you happen to lurk, please let us know if everything is okay.



Guys, I gotta run and have dinner.
See you in a few.
Love you all!

Anonymous said...

Hello Bella!


Smoke:
Well, her sister went missing and through a series of events, they found her and brought her home. She locked herself in the bathroom, but they managed to finally get her out.

Jade came back on a day later and said she had run away again, and I've not heard from her since. I think that may have been Sunday.

Anonymous said...

That's so scary. She's only thirteen, too.

Hey and bye Bella!

LIFE WITHOUT YOU

by Stevie Ray Vaughan

Well hello baby,
Tell me how have you been
We all have missed you
And the way you grin
The day is necessary
Every now and then
For souls to move on
Given life back again, and again
Fly on, fly on
Fly on my friend
Go on, live again, love again

Day after day, night after night
Sittin' here singin' every minute
As the years go passing by
by, by, by
Long look in the mirror
We've come face to face
Wishin' all the love
We took for granted
Love we have today

Life without you
All the love you passed our way
The angels have waited for so long
Now they have their way
Take your place

elena, i truly loved the twists -- they really upped the angst and made our lord mayo a shining example of the tragic gothic hero. i haven't got a single idea what to do next... :D

i just felt the urge to tell you that, and i dont really know why.


SS - it is very good to read you, and what i took from your comments is that you are happier than the last time you visited. well i dont think it could have been any worse but today was old school. today was just chatting about random bilge which was classic in my mind. thank you for your kind words mate, have a good one!
