The clouds have dropped
below the horizon and
swallowed me whole.
Now, I am not able to see
I have nowhere to go.
And when I get there
the path has been dozed over,
it happened while I slept.
I like it better this way,
because uncertainty is exciting.
And I am tired
of well worn routes.
So, I take the lead
only for myself.
And when I get there
I will know,
and when I get there
I will know, and
when I get there, I will
know.
(Don’t be afraid)
p.s. where does it go? where is it from? what does it leave?

Ergo had to go tutor some kids, almost everyone has gone to bed. I heard from my friend today, and they sounded more happier, and thanked me for helping them out. They sent me some lovely pictures as gratitude.
I couldn't have been more happier. It gave me a great feeling helping someone.
Ha ha

I call alot of people sweetcheecks..not to worry.. ;)
gotta run upstairs,,too cold down here..laptop should be charged now
Well, actually they're not that LITTLE. I suppose I have average sized feet..... size 7 1/2 for curious minds or anyone wanting to buy a pair of boots for me
A red pair would be lovely! ;p
Well sugarplum, the answer to your question would be yes. Yes I did. I was dreaming of ways of stealing his DNA but I think the answer to that is too obvious ;)
And..in real life, he is known as John :)
Sorry about that..had to come upstairs..too cold down there and then that pc detected some crap so now it has to run it scan.. Thank goodness for J. The computer guru..
Anywho...I call alot of people sweetcheeks...not to worry. ;)
Thought and reason hold no sway
Over my love for you.
As soon as I looked into your eyes,
I knew you were the only one for me.
Who would have ever guessed that
That chance encounter would lead us
To a love that defies possibility?
For never in a hundred million years would I have thought
I would find myself
In you.
I left my heart with you that day;
I took yours back with me.
They beat in time and never falter.
Do not be discouraged.
Look for my star:
It will guide you,
For I am beneath it,
And I am
Always here,
Waiting for you.

I hope you're warming up, NJ Anon
BC: sooooo, you did dream about him! ;)
Hello Angel! How are you tonight?
I hope you are well!
Good evening Angel. You always write such beautiful poetry. How are you?
Sugarplum, ha ha, yeah I did, just a little bit.
I'd clone that man in an instant if I could ^_^

Hello, Wendy, yes, I am well this morning. Greetings, Bleeding Chaos. How are the two of you faring, my friends? I see we have a visitor here. A gracious good morning to you, NJ Anon.
Angel does write beautifully, doesn't she? !!
I just read your poem from this morning, NJ anon. I liked it very much!
I only call BC 'sweetcheeks'. She is my ONE AND ONLY -- 'sweetcheeks'.
-------------------------------------
Aww Wendy! And you are my one and only sugarplum :D

Hello, Wendy, yes, I am well this morning. Greetings, Bleeding Chaos. How are the two of you faring, my friends?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am well (and good too), Angel. Thank you for asking!
I do have a slight headache from all that singing I was doing. I'm sure the Excedrin will take care of that ;)
I hope you are enjoying your morning, my friend!
Ha ha ha sugarplum. The obvious way is more funner indeed ;)
I am well Angel, thank you for asking.
Bleeding Chaos said...
Aww Wendy! And you are my one and only sugarplum :D
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I darn well BETTER BE, sweetcheeks!
;)
Thank you for your kind words, everyone. My poetry is created in my heart. NJ Anon, are you a writer of poems as well?
G'nite anon616 and BC and Angel.. Pleasant dreams..
I am off like a dirty shirt..going to bed early tonite..well. early for me.
Later. ;)
Aww you are my dear sugarplum.
No one else is my sugarplum but you :D
Your heart is beautiful, Angel!
Has your love chosen a name yet?
Goodnight and sweet dreams NJ.
A restful sleep to you, NJ Anon.
Wendy, Bleeding Chaos, what have you ladies been doing today?
Goodnight and sweet, tormented (an ode to your poem) dreams to you, NJ anon! I hope you get enough sleep tonight!
Well Angel, as I told Wendy here, I have been concocting plans try to steal DNA from this drummer who I think is attractive, and trying to find ways to clone him ^_^
And well, trying to conquer the world at the same time lol
Wendy, he has not objected to "Shadow-Star" as of yet, so I believe that will stand for now. *smiles*
Angel: I've had a thrilling time doing housework, bathing dogs, trying to bath the cats (That did NOT work out very well. They still have their claws too! OUCH)
Yes, the excitement of this day was nearly unbearable! ;)
How have you been keeping yourself busy?
BC: You can't conquer the world!
The CATS are already planning world domination!!! ;)
Angel: I hope to see something from your "Shadow-Star" soon - if he has not already posted something for you, that is. :)
Do you have a picture of your drummer, Bleeding Chaos? What is his name? Wendy, your day sounds as enticing as mine! I also performed some "domestic chores" and "flew" a few errands! *laughs*
Well then, I can kick the cats out because I'm gonna take over ;p
A picture? Let's see if I can find one. Be right back!
I had to take a quick 'flight' too, Angel. All the way to the local post office to make sure the tax return was postmarked on time!
I can't believe I almost forgot about that bit of excitement, LOL!
Bleeding Chaos said...
Well then, I can kick the cats out because I'm gonna take over ;p
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In that case; Can I be your 'second in command'?
*bats eyelashes* Please !!!

I messed up.I hope the link works. The drummer is the tallest dude standing in the back with the long dark hair wearing a black jacket with a red cross (I think) and some darkish brown or green pants.
Sugarplum, the answer would be: Yes, you can be my second in-command :)
Tax returns, everyone's favorite necessity! Wendy, I cannot imagine that you would wait until the last minute to mail yours off! *smiles*
I know I must have shocked you, Angel. I mean ME, PROCRASTINATE?
T'is so unlike me! ;)
*giggles*
Bleeding Chaos, I am afraid the link did not work for me. Perhaps you could tell me the name of his band so that I could search Google?
BC: Do I get a UNIFORM????
I would an off the shoulders one, please. Hmmmm......we'll just have to find another place to put all those stripes! ;)
Angel, I guess my computer is not allowing the link to work, but that's okay. The name of the band is Devildriver and the drummer's name is John.
I think one of their songs is actually good enough for me to download. Finding new songs totally rocks.
Blogger is still EATING some of my words! *pouts*
that should have read:
"I would LIKE an off the shoulders one..."
Sugarplum: Yes! Yes we do. Except ours are gonna look bad ass and NOT lame at all :)
Yours can be off-shouldered all you like.
BC: Have I sent you TO/DIE/FOR's way yet? *big smile*
You should check THEM out! Ohhh....and some of their music!
;)
TO DIE FOR myspace
:D
No you have NOT sugarplum! But thank you for the link. I'll shall save it now and take a peek :)
I found a picture of your drummer, Bleeding Chaos. Regretfully, I must say he is not my type of man, but if you like his looks, then that is fine. We all have differing tastes, and that is what makes the world go around!
*big smile and hug for my sweetcheeks*
Angel: Did find BC's drummer?
angel said...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Indeed it is, Angel! And seeing, appreciating, respecting, celebrating the differences - the uniqueness in and of each other....
That's perfectly alright Angel. To me, looks are not the most important feature, personality is, as long as the dude showers and puts on clean clothes and has intelligence and humor, then I'm okay with that.
And I agree, it makes the world go round :)
Sugarplum, thanks for the myspace link. How come so many of the goth metal bands originate from Finland? Maybe I should move there...
*Breathes a sigh of relief that "Jude Law" is not harassing her*
Why are you guys saying he's my drummer? He's not. Ha ha ^_^
That is a very good question, BC?
Heck if I know the answer to it though! I'm just very GRATEFUL to Scandinavia for 'growing them good' and nuturing the talent!
;)
Ohhh.....You might also like BLACK TIDE. They're actually from the USA, LOL!
Black Tide myspace
:D
Your words are true, Wendy. As the French say, vive la difference!
Ladies, it has been a pleasure as always, but I must retire for the morning. Wendy, Bleeding Chaos, may you have soothing dreams and wonderful tomorrows.
My love, my Shadow-Star, know that nothing will ever change my love for you. You mean everything to me.
Until next time, rest well.
Goodnight and sweet dreams Angel. Rest well.
Wendy, what a coincidence! I read about Black Tide through the current issue of Metal Hammer, it has CoB on the cover. I read the vocalist is only 15 years old!
Goodnight Angel and the sweetest of dreams to you!!
Rest well and I hope you are reunited with your love soon!
BC: Well, he could be your drummer ;)
Anything's possible!
Wait, he's not MARRIED is he????
:p
I don't think so sugarplum. I didn't see any ring on his finger ^_^
I'm still suffering from the lasting effects of those donuts obviously :/
CoB is on the cover of Metal Hammer!!!!!!
Maybe I should start reading music magazines again ;)
I haven't picked up one of those things in over 15 years, LOL!
*relies on the internet and other means*
WHAT????? Black Tide's singer is ONLY 15?
NO WAY!!!!!!!!
*picks self off floor and dusts self off*
I knew he was YOUNG but not THAT YOUNG, LOL!
Wendy, you should. Some of the mags introduced me into new bands and songs. It's really cool. Metal Hammer is ten dollars an issue because it's imported from the U.K. so I'm guessing subscription might cost over 200 bucks here :/
And yeah, lead singer is only 15. I think the entire band is under 18 as a matter of fact.
back home at my blogsib's, and we're all talking and catching up on the comments --
we'll tell you all about the concert later (but it was really really good...and elena has a pic of her and alicia way together...*grin*)
i noticed another poem by tomorrow's love -- it was so sweetly victorian, so overblown. :)
i especially liked this line:
as I love the last
Rich smile of fading day.
that's so evocative.
tomorrow's love, i don't know your gender, but i've been reading you as some pre-raphaelite in a velvet coat and a leather-bound journal, writing soft words to your lady love.
*grin*
my imagination might have a life of its own.
hope to see you again. :)
as far as I'm concerned, I'm rid of you.
Hi TJ, I hope you're well.
WOW! They are REALLY, REALLY young, ain't they? !!
I really should actually READ more profiles too ;)
I do really like their music! :)
Well, BC, I must be off for awhile. I was hoping we would hear from Elena and TeeeeeeJaaaaay by now! They might STILL be out having fun!!! :D
Have a great rest of the night, sweetcheeks. I hope "Tom" doesn't show up to declare his undying love for you again ;) SCARY thought there!
Goodnight Mayo, SS, lurkers, watchers, the very young and not quite AS young souls of blogbelieve.....and, of course, the beautiful old souls!
Sweet dreams to one and all!!!
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~
6/Wendy
Speak of the devil.......
TeeeeeeeeeeJaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!
I'm so glad to hear ya'll had so much fun!!!
Did you have one or two of those whipped reeses bars again? ;)
Okay, I really must run now.....
I'll catch up to you later TJ, Elena, BC........
Have fun!
Fortunately for me sugarplum, "Tom" has not made an appearance tonight, which spares me from hearing about his "confession of love." The thought of it sends trembles down my spine.
And then I told "Jude Law" that I was gonna grab his balls and squeeze them like an orange, but that's another story ^_^
Goodnight and sweet dreams *hugs*
I'm off too. Goodnight everyone.
Gerard is being a hypocrite again. Remember when he said all that about emo and how much full of shit it is? Now he says,
"I want to say something today before we continue. Recently we've been hearing a lot of stuff about some violence here in your country having to do with kids who want to wear black t-shirts … or some kind of bull-- stuff like that. We don't want to see any f---ing violence! We came here for one reason, and that's to be at the f---ing rock show!"
It is great and all but kind of contradicts himself.
And not to mention his own violence. Does he not remember that?
Article
Anon at 3:46, that article was from a Mexico City paper or magazine, quite a while ago. It also appears he was being an advocate for tolerance of difference, not for the genre of "emo".
Blogger ate my comment! GRRRRR!
Having a great time tonight with my lovely friends. More to follow.
I agree with anonymous at 3:57.
The so called "emo" kids don't own the market on black tshirts. Long before the "emo" scene came about
black belonged to metal heads, goths, johnny cash. Black belongs to all of those still.
I dont see how that article contradicts a thing.
Morning Mayo!
Morning everyone else!
Not my chirpy self this morning as some Russian watch company's hijacked my work e-mail account so I'm having to spend this morning sifting through piles of Spam. Damn modern technology!
Anon @ 3.46am,
I don't think he's being hypocritical here, although he did leave it until TBP was sliding off the charts before saying that "emo [was] a pile of sh*t". Funny that! No, hypocrisy would be like saying "don't commodify your body by showing your t*ts for backstage passes, but do get on your knees for a cushy support slot on an arena tour"!
Oh, I'm just kidding around...
Kass xx
Anon at 4:11, I agree, emo is not the only genre with black t-shirts. Hell, I've been wearing black tees since I was in middle school many many years ago. It's funny, because I was labeled a 'stoner' back then because of my choice of attire, then it morphed to 'goth' in high school and all of sudden now it's considered 'emo.' So silly, considering I can't really be tagged by any of those labels.
Sorry lost my point there in my rambles, but no that article doesn't contradict anything.
kass, I totally ♥ you!
Kass, I wonder who that would be alluding to?
I was just commenting generally, *cough*, honest guv!
And awww, ta Anon! It's always good to be loved, it doesn't matter who by. Unless it gets all obsessive and stalker-like - I must warn you I'm a green belt* in karate...
Kass xx
*i.e. pretty rubbish.
Cushy support spot 'eh??
Kass, I love you. HARD.
;p
Just peaking in on my way to bed -hope everyone is well tonight/this morn etc! Also, I know I don't talk to Mayo much, but I just wanted to say this post made me feel better. I really needed it. Thanks Mr. Condiment. :)
-Hope to stop by later tomorrow! Love to you ladies! (and some gentlemen to yea??) ;p <3-l
mayo,
there are three of us here now. we're multiplying. *grin*
we spent our time in line discussing your addition: "hoover". you make my brain hurt, mayo -- so why was it so much fun?
and then the concert...
standing so close to the stage, me and elena and anima, dancing to drive by and billy talent, ready to see this band we all resonate to -- and it was anima's first mcr concert, too! -- and then there they were and life was bright again.
but the day was all over the place, mayo. meeting another sister, running up against the difference between being a fan and being a lovely, the ridiculous fun of being packed in a dancing crowd, and having to leave it for the sidelines, defeated.
exhausting.
confusing.
i'm learning that every concert is different. i don't want to be anywhere else, but i'm realizing i never know how it's going to leave me feeling.
tonight was golden, and powerful, and empty, and tear-filled.
oh, mayo.
it's all such a tangle to me. i can only face forward and keep going, and hope my prayers are heard by receptive powers.
be careful, mayo-sama. you're needed.
(elena's next!)
Mayo
Today was well, full of twist and turns. It was wonderful to meet another of my blog sisters. When TJ and I picked up Anima for the concert it was just like picking up an old friend. Strange isn’t it? How is it that your blog attracted so many people who connect to each other? Fate? Well maybe. I don’t know. All I am sure of is that I like finding people who I feel were fated to be my friends.
Anyway the concerts were wonderful. Both Drive By and Billy Talent are excellent bands full of so much energy. There I was down in the pit completely being me. That doesn’t happen often. Sadly by the time MCR took the stage the bodies were shifting and I stayed by the barrier as long as I could until I became so wedged in between people that I couldn’t breathe or see. I hated to admit defeat but I had to get out. And it did seem like defeat to me. Luckily a very nice man lifted me over the barrier and I was able to watch the rest of the concert from the back of the floor area. I also got to meet Mikey’s wife who is a very sweet woman who sympathized with me about having to leave the barrier and was nice enough to take a photo with me. I explained to her I felt very lame about having to bail. She just laughed.
Okay so I guess I have to tell you what happened before the concert that really disturbed me. Silly me I don’t really have to tell you but you know I will. TJ, Anima and I were walking around the venue before the concert (hey we got there early of course) and just happened to turn the corner to see Frank signing autographs and taking photos with fans. As we got closer I could see the expression on his face. Mayo, it broke my heart. He looked so tired yet there he sat signing and talking. Okay maybe it’s just because I’ve never met any of the band members in person so it was strange to be seeing him someplace other than the stage but it really affected me. I could tell he was out there doing this for the fans because his heart told him to do it but still I wondered couldn’t others see how tired he looked? I just stood there looking at him and wanting to tell him he’d done enough. I wanted to tell him not to push himself so hard. Oh hell I just went into full Mother Hen mode and wanted to take care of him. I walked away from the scene feeling sad. Sometimes it’s hard to remember I’m a nobody who can’t fix things for others but still I wish I could.
Well I’ve written too much, big surprise there, right? It’s after 4 am and we’re meeting Anima in the morning so she can see my bookstore. Then in the afternoon TJ and I have to work there again. Oh, TJ’s not leaving yet. I’ve convinced her to stay until Sunday. Leaving tomorrow was out of the question. My new sister and I have years of catching up to do. So Mayo, you coming to the store with us too? Yeah, you will.
Night Mayo
Elena (Tired yet strangely alive)
Hi Lewis, TJ & Elena,
You're making me feel like I've got the emotional range of a tree - after every concert I'm always either elated or disappointed!
I'm sorry to hear that about Frank, but it does warm the cockles to know that there's guys out there who know how much an autograph or photo means to the fans to put themselves out there when they're wiped out.
I love the guy really, Lewis - how can you not have a soft spot for a grown man who seems genuinely distressed by Bridge to Terabithia! (It's about 2½ minutes in)
Now I've really got to do something constructive.
Kass xx
***woe oh oh oh oh, woe oh oh oh oh; woe oh oh oh oh, woe oh oh oh oh...
"Your eyes socialize as you walk i through the door,
Your lips don't say much, you body says a whole lot more...."***
Good *insert time of day here* Mayo, SS, TJ, Elena, Anima, Lewis (good to see ya Lewis!), the usual krewe of believers for this time:
KASS, FASC, Possum, RW; watchers, lurkers, anons, clowns and jokers of blogbelieve!
How are you all? I hope everyone is as happy as they can possibly be (for this moment in time....and the next....and the next....)
*blows some HAPPINESS vibes Kass' way* ;)
TJ and Elena: Thank you both so much for your reviews!!! I'm so sorry to hear you were forced to 'admit defeat'; but, thank goodness people were kind enough to give a helping hand (and lift) when needed!
I don't think I feel like singing anymore after reading about Frank
:(
Kass is correct, it does warm 'the
cockles" (and the heart too) to know he's going out of his way to spread some joy to and show appreciation for the fans. But, GOOD GRIEF, it sounds as though he really needs some rest! Where were the other guys? Hmmm....
Can't they drag themselves out of the tour bus/hotel to give Frank a rest????? I'm sure they're ALL tired; but it seems it's always Frank who is will to go above and beyond for the fans.
*big hug for Frank*
*wags finger and orders him to get some sleep*
;)
To ponder/inspire today:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Box Full of Kisses
The story goes that some time ago, a man punished his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became infuriated when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy."
The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found out the box was empty. He yelled at her, stating, "Don't you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be something inside? The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried, "Oh, Daddy, it's not empty at all. I blew kisses into the box. They're all for you, Daddy."
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness.
Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the child. It is also told that her father kept that gold box by his bed for many years and, whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sending you all boxes filled with kisses today!
Have a great Wednesday/Thursday everyone!
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

*waves to Ergo for when she comes back*
Happy hump day, everyone! :)
Hoover, Mayo? Don't forget the corners.
Anima, TJ, Elena,
So glad you guys got to rock out and have a wonderful time together.
Sounds like you had an amazing time.
Now..spill the setlist.
Mayo,
Do you think I'd get fired if I wore my "I am a monster" t-shirt to my office job today? ^_^
TJ, Elena, and Anima,
OMG, I am soooo jealous. I'm glad you guys are having such a great time. It made me sad about Frank though. I just keep reminding myself that he is doing exactly what he loves to do so maybe it's a good kind of tired, ya know? The kind of tired that comes from wearing yourself out from being happy. ^_^ I hope so.
SS!!!
I'm gonna start yelling at you again. Nah, not yet. Well, not this very second because I have to go to work. Boooo!!!!
Have a good one everyone!
XOXO,
S&V20
Mayo,
How are you today? I hope all is peachy, ripe, and delicious with you...WHAT? Yeah, that's what I said. Savor the flavors, my friend and let the juice run down your chin. WHAT? Yeah, that's what I said...eat some fruit. We could all use more vitamin C in our diet. How am I? Can't you tell? I'm more off kilter than usual. Swinging more to one side than the other....on a tire swing, swing, weeeeeeeee, and I can almost grab that limb. FUCK! I missed it again.
Wonder how long it will be before I fall on my ass?
It will be okay though. Dirt washes off and bruises heal.
So yeah, today is going to be a wondering wandering Wednesday for me. Wonder where I will wander to?
Mayo, get lost with me.
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. We might find something we've been looking for.
Oh and before I leave...

Good morning Solly and Smoke!
hi de ho!
back from 3 hours of tutoring and I've had my dinner and thankfully am feeling really good! No headache, no queer tummy! I think I may have been dehydrated so I tried to increase my fluids today so looks like it may have worked.
smoke! can you wear it under something?
sdock - morning!
Hi RW
*waves to Wendy!*
and I'm very happy to be your only honeybunch! *smoooooooooooooch*
TJ Elena and Anime so glad you had a great time, it's hard in the pit and sometimes you just have to bail, but how fantastic meeting Alicia! She's nice? You must tell.
and how about Frank, it's lovely he does it, but the poor dear is going to suffer, shame he was the only one, but he's often written about being the one who comes out.
and so should I be on the lookout for a large box arriving soon ;)
lol
Mayo
Have a good day? Me for once had a shit day, felt rotten nad am hopefully recovered, Shame when it turns out I could have avoided the pain, remember - drink enough water! Headaches suck (as I'm sure MJ can testify to as well)
So wishing trickles, flows, cascades and waterfalls (need to pee yet?) of good things to you and yours
much love EP xx
SS
Hope you had a great day! I was - as above -lol. You too, keep your fluids up!And eat chocolate - just 'cause it's nice :)

Singing and air guitar-ing loud and fucking proud today!
Have a great Wednesday, Mayo, SS, and BBers!
Morning everybody!
How's it hanging?
Loose and breezy?
Please don't feel obliged to answer ^_~
TJ, Elena and Anima. Thank you for staying up and posting! Glad you had a great time, mosh squidginess not withstanding.
TJ, have you had a twirl with the infamous Darth Maul lightsaber yet?
Looking forward to reading more of your discoveries and adventures together xoxox
Mayo,
If you're going to be sucking it up please take care not to get the three little resident dust bunnies =)
SS,
The Zero is non-existent. Will you or won't you...
*taps fingers and ponders*
*SS probably wondering 'is this a mucked up maths quiz?'*
Really bad weather here so I better go. There have been lots of terrible weather related tragedies here in the last 24 hours =(
Have a good day everyone.
GeeZ 4 ever!!!
Almost forgot.
I want to say something today before we continue. Recently we've been hearing a lot of stuff about some violence here in your country having to do with kids who want to wear black t-shirts … or some kind of bull-- stuff like that. We don't want to see any f---ing violence! We came here for one reason, and that's to be at the f---ing rock show!"
Taking this from the Anon earlier.
I'm not so sure he's contradicting himself. Maybe a bit, but really, above all of that, I'm absolutely thrilled the dude is taking some time out to address serious issues like this. That's how it was before, using that stage as a platform for change.
That topic is scary. There's no need for hatred and violence, or riots and beatings, over a term (or a way of life as some seem to think). I watched the video at YouTube on it, and it was frightening to see the anger and meanness in these kids. It was like watching a civil war.
So, I'm glad he's using the stage for a more productive reason. It's a hell of a lot better than what he was doing.
Shouldnt that be 'Ger-Z', or the magic of the coincidence that its the state they both come from will be wasted?!!
Im gonna see MSI next Tuesday and Im a tenacious girl when it comes to getting pics/autogrphs so maybe Ill be able to tell you if Lyn-Z appears as dumb as some people here have said. Good luck to them anyway!
goodmorning sunshine
Lamest comeback ever!!!
I am not on here to make a scene but to try and put this in a place where it is seen by the most people.
This weekend, I am going to the NY comiccon and somehow ended up with two (probably three) extra tickets that are all weekend passes.
I really, really don't want them to go to waste, so if any of you will be in that area and you or someone you know would like free passes to it, even if you just use it for a day, please email me or call me at 585-773-9496.
Thank you!
smiles upon you
Hi KI,
Long time, no see!
Sadly NY is a little far for me to go, plus I have loads of really important stuff to do here, like umm...
Hi Pants!
And smiles upon you too, Sunshine!
Or as they said in Carry On Up the Khyber:
"The Khasi of Kalabar: May the benevolence of the god Shivoo bring blessings on your house.
Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond: And on yours.
The Khasi of Kalabar: And may his wisdom bring success in all your undertakings.
Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond: And in yours.
The Khasi of Kalabar: And may his radiance light up your life.
Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond: And up yours."
And now I'm off to wrestle with NHS bureaucracy...

Hello all. It's me and TJ getting ready to go out there and face the world. Yeah, it's kinda a "We are Lovelies hear us roar" thing.
Okay so TJ and I aren't the roaring type all that often but we can be if the need arises!
Take care everyone, we'll pop in later.
Mayo, still cleaning?
good morning mayo. :)
good morning blogsibs!
mayo, maybe you've put the vacuum down, but i've been told that i'll be doing real work today at the bookstore.
can't wait, actually. *grin*
when i was in the shower a few moments ago, scurrying along to get ready to go out and meet up with anima, it occurred to me that i've only known elena for three days.
THREE DAYS, mayo.
it feels likes three decades. in the best way, of course! i mean, geez, i almost gave her my pin number yesterday without even thinking about it!
i lay this fully in your lap, mayo sir. fully, i say.
thank you. ♥
i wonder how many other kindred spirits await me here?
It is easy to sit back and watch. To observe the comings and goings of different people, the bonds and friendships of the different people and the words of each and every individual. It is very easy to jump into the conversation, to make friends and to share your interests with the people who you deem as friends. A friend of mine came onto Mayo’s and made a comment a few weeks back which needed to be said. You can’t be friends with everybody, you can be civil and respect the people but you don’t have to be friends with everybody. You will like people more then other people and others will like people more than yourself. So why is it, that people are getting attacked for being friends and sharing their interests with each other? Why is it that people are continually being 'thrown under the bus' when everybody is not perfect? It is understandable that people will have favourites and they will want to help those people out, but why is it that you are blinded by the people’s behaviour towards other people.
I can watch and observe as well, you claim that a select few are together and are ignoring and shunning others, well look at the times and look at when people are on. Just because you say a small hello to someone, it does not make you a saint over that person. I am a 43 year old mother to three teens, and they don’t behave in this way. Please be nice to one and other and please don’t cast aside people. They have feelings too.
hello there jayce. you make a very good point. please remember, however, that as many similarities as we share here on this blog, we are still a diverse group of people. we don't always get along, but it doesn't the essential fact that we are a close community.
sometimes new people are greeted with our shoulders, not our arms. it's unfortunate, and i hope your friend wasn't bruised too badly.
have to dash now!
anima awaits!
we'll be back soon, and with coffee!
mayo, slug-a-bed, do something lazy today, why don't you. or, if you feel up to it, maybe write us a little story?
*grin*
*scurries out to a waiting elena in the car*
Afternoon, everyone! Hey Kass, Possum, Elena, TJ, Anima (vicariously), Pants Ill in Bed (get better soon, honey!), all and sundry folk!
Just passing by with a brief wave and peek around.
Elena (and TJ and Anima), I'm glad you had a great time at the concert! The only thing you didn't mention was, HOW DID MCR SOUND? I figure the answer is "fanfuckingtastic", but you know.
Poor Franky, always out there doin' it for the fans. I'll bet you he hasn't slept much lately and that's why he looked so tired; he tends to push himself harder than the others do. Not slagging on the other guys, but Frank is all about the fans, and he never wants to let them down.
GET SOME REST, FRANK! You need to be careful out there. *hugs*
Getting back to BlogBelieve...
Mayo, how's your world today, honey? Feeling alright? Being "in the middle" is a tough place to be, especially when you haven't volunteered for the job. Please, do what you can to help, ok? But yeah, keep the Hoover handy (although L prefers a Dyson).
SS, precious, feels like I haven't talked to you in forever. Are you doing alright, Love? You know how I worry about you. I would Hope that you're not, uh, getting into any "trouble" out there wherever you are! Sometimes Unknown forces try their best to drag us down, but we gotta keep pushing along.
Ok, I've written more than I needed to, but Fuck It, I wanted to! :) See everybody later, maybe? Take care!
love/faith/peace

Pretty day. ^_^
I was babysitting all morning, and puppy-sitting. My cousins got a puppy for Boychild, it's a cute little white boxer puppy. It's quite the household!
Elena, TJ, Anima, I'm glad you guys are having a great time. I'm getting a bad vibe about Frank just doing way too much, I can't wait for him to get some rest. Although likely he won't, he'll go right back to working. O_O
I hope the s//c / Leathermouth stuff isn't as demanding of him though.
Well, I've got a house to clean and some calls so make. Wish me luck. O_O
hey-ho, laverne & shirley have returned (we still don't know which is which though).
:)
i have coffee, my hair is dry, and we have waved farewell to anima. *sigh*
but at least none of us are very far apart here in blogbelieve.
elena and i were talking about the concert on the way back (go figure) -- about how even though it was a topsy-turvy day emotionally it was still so vital, so...well, i can only think to describe it as nourishing, though that may sound a bit odd.
and we were, quite naturally, reviewing our favorite bits from the show, and i remembered that gerard gave his speech again about how lotms was intended to inspire viewers to start a band -- except that he expanded upon that last night, and went on to say not only the bit about starting a band but also drawing a comic, or writing a book, and so on -- a whole list of creative endeavors, a whole slew of ways that lotms hopefully could and should inspire people to engage in creative personal expression.
i loved it.
not only because creative personal expression was always my guiding philosophy when growing up, and one that i am now in the process of recovering, but also because yesterday morning (just yesterday morning), elena and i were discussing that speech of his, in it's previous form, and coming to the conclusion that he didn't mean that he wanted lotms to just be about starting a band.
i have to admit, my eyes were a bit O_O when i heard him unknowingly confirm our speculations last night!
:)
i also cried again during "cancer" -- if any of you have been reading my lj, i've mentioned there how during bamboozle i found myself shaking and crying during that song, a surprise because although every time i've heard it live it has been powerful and affecting, it has never made me cry.
but at bamboozle, and at the first portland show, and again last night, "cancer" has grabbed me with a force i don't quite understand. i think it's wringing a catharsis from me that goes beyond my experiences with the disease.
this trip of mine is becoming an alchemic journey. every day i feel like another unknown portion of my soul has been transmuted. i'm doing things i never thought i would -- just last night i was dragging anima through the crowd by her hand, and hugging, without thought, without qualms!
i don't know who i'm going to be at the end of this -- and i hope the end of this trip finds me in the crowd at madison sq. gardens, i don't want to come in off the road until they do, how ridiculous is that -- but i can't wait to step forward as that person, as my true self, at last.
oh geez! and now i've written a novel!
it's all elena's fault. she's cleaning up the place, and won't let me help. she ordered me to the computer and so here i am, rambling on and on and on...
maybe i'd best go check my emails, etc. and let someone else comment?
yeah. that'd be best.
(except, i have to just add, mayo, we were also talking about how strange it is that with the two of us together, it has had the effect of somehow dragging you out of the corner for us. i swear you're with us here, and with all the sillines you've had to witness, i think we owe you an apology! poor fellow. *grin*)
you know i'll be back later. don't be afraid. *grin*
p.s. elena came in and said: "mayo, thank god she got one of those damn candy bars!"
p.p.s. and i'm going to make her eat part of it too! mwah-hah!
NEW POST
As for me, I would find faces there,
Or perhaps one face I have long taken for guide;
Far-fetched, maybe, like Cygnus, but as fair,
And a constellation anyone could read
Once it was pointed out; an enlightenment of night,
The way the pronoun you will turn dark verses bright.
i have a pronoun, too -- an eternal internal "him".
his voice erases my doubt.
but this -- confusion is apt. is it you i am hearing? is it me to whom you are speaking?
i hang onto a thread, waiting for some small clarification.
always.
I am going to my first mcr concert at the HOB in NO and I am taking my 13 year old boy. I can't wait.
