even if no one gets me, if i'm the only one laughing at my jokes, i won't hide myself away from life. it's uncertain and it's dirty and it's fucking exciting, and i want to be a part of all of it.
it's too good to waste in hiding.

heart full
Today on my way home from class, I stopped off at the petrol station for some petrol. I paid on my card which wasn’t a lot, and then as I was getting into my car, I saw an old man walking past the building. He had a red and green stripy jumper which was frayed at the ends. He was also wearing some jeans that were dirty and had holes all over.
I sat there and became intrigued by him because I didn’t know what he was doing, so as I sat there and watched him, he continued doing what he set out to do.
He walked past the trash cans and first picked out a cup with some drink still in it (one of the cups that you get from burger king that has coke in it). He then walked over to the next trash can and pulled out the end of a half eaten sandwich. In my shock horror, he ate it and then went to sit on the wall to drink the drink he had found.
I felt sad, I wanted to give him my last $4 that I had but I was told when I was younger that you should never give people money, you should give them something they need or can use because that way, if they had an addiction, they would not be able to use the money for their addiction. So I went into the shop and bought a chicken sandwich from their deli counter and then walked out of the building.
The guy was still sat at the wall drinking his drink so I walked up to him and asked him if he would like this sandwich. He thanked me and said that he was hungry.
I should of felt good after that, doing something for someone else but all I could think of is where his next meal will come from or where in fact he will sleep tonight.

Jennicula,
Thank you for sharing your story. Although it only appeared briefly, I was lucky enough to have caught it.
Once upon a time, for me, that was the best part of this place...having my words related back to me from another's perspective.
And it never mattered to me who said it, just that it meant something to the writer.

Don't let anyone tell you how to live your life. Hold your head up high and be proud of who you are. If you've had a shitty day and you feel like people just don't want you to be happy, and when you find yourself struggling to make it through the day, just keep on believing and keep the faith. Also, from personal experience, don't push people away. When they say they want to help and that they are there for you, let them in. Believe me, I know how fucking scary that thought is, but don't shut others out.

Sometimes, when you look back on stuff in your life, you know, the crap that makes you shake your head and say, "Holy shit, what the Hell was I thinking?" it's part of what makes you - you.
I'm not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. I have made small mistakes and really big, fucking scary mistakes. Would I change those mistakes and blunders?
No. Wanna know why?
Because they make me - me. They help make up the person that I am, what I've learned the hard way. Hopefully I've learned from my mistakes and have become a better person for it. And, hopefully I don't repeat those same mistakes. Although, sometimes I repeat variations of certain ones, but I'm working on that. :)

aloft
Blazing against the sun
like locusts,
samaras swarm the sky
and skitter to an earthly end,
dry
like clever words.
I want to make them fly up,
flip heaven upside down
and dance across the top of hell
and sing your thoughts
to the sound of thunder
that you love so well,
rip open the littered sky
and bathe in the light
or draw across the firmament
the blanket of the night.
In only a day they have
covered the ground,
their brief flight
yielding nothing permanent
on infertile land,
a fleeting moment of swarming glory
that calls to mind our own
short story:
Diamonds and petals,
the loom and the light,
the inkdark moon, foxfire marsh,
an open, waiting hand.
Clever winged seeds
of childhood reminiscent--
and like the idiot grown-up heart,
as stubbornly indehiscent.

Electric Blue
…today I saw a ulysses butterfly it was in our yard and settled to feed on our hibiscus. They really are fantastically beautiful things, the electric blue is amazing, however as they sit with their wings closed they are rather nondescript and dull. Sometimes people are like that, from the outside they seem unappealing but within there hides an amazing beauty for those lucky enough to see it. I hope you appreciate beauty in all things, and look for it perhaps where others miss it.

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL.
I read your post again and suddenly without warning memories of construction paper filled my head. I remembered all the lop-sided flowers my girls made when they were young. Bright blue, yellow and pink flowers that were cut out with blunt end scissors would fill the windows to decorate for Easter. An occasional bunny was attempted but those usually ended up looking like creatures from a horror movie. Flowers were so much easier. I can close my eyes and hear the paper being cut into petals. I can smell the Elmer’s glue squirted on in huge blobs to attach each misshapen petal to form the flowers. We had a huge arts and crafts box full of wonderful items just waiting for their imaginations to turn into something wonderful. In my mind I see my daughters, as they once were, small, blond little girls sitting on the floor surrounded by scraps of paper and other art supplies. They would create their masterpieces then proudly show each other. Oh and Lord the messes that would ensue if the glitter made an appearance. Now, the box is forgotten. I’m not really sure where it even is anymore. The few flowers so lovingly created that survived are faded and dusty and high on a shelf they sit. Time marches on, so many things get left behind.
Today was the first Easter I spent alone. I don’t think it really upset me until I remembered the construction paper flowers. Of course I understand that my daughters are growing up and have lives of their own. But understanding doesn’t make it any easier to accept. I miss my little girls in their frilly Easter dresses. I miss the laughter that filled the house when they found what the Easter Bunny left for them. And I miss making the damn flowers.

«Oldest ‹Older 801 – 1000 of 4234 Newer› Newest»Good evening BC...And you have been real good!! I shall punish you for that!!
J google "what I taste like quiz" and you should find it
I love chocolate. What?! You're gonna punish me for being good?! What did I do?! ;D
Hey Triston!! Lol. He's not a bad dude at all, I'm not worried, I'm only worried about sending him mixed signals!
J it's at ravenblack what flavour am i
Triston Anatole hello how are you?
Hello Triston!
Look ^ I'm on top tonight!!!
Goodnight Lewis and sweetdreams!
Don't stay away so long this time.
*big hug*
PH just be honest, it's always best
Congrats Wendy :D
Martha, haven't met a zombie yet...or have I?
Sure felt like one sometimes, when I don't get enough sleep ^_~
PH all of us guitar players are good dudes!!!
Wendy I can let be on top every night!!
Cool, Ergo, thanks!
Hey Triston, yeah, guitar players are the tastiest musicians, in my opinion. Do they ALL taste like chocolate?
J
True True Ergo.
Dude, never thought I'd turn down a hot older musician.
That's also correct Triston. =]
Ergo...I am incredible. I took the day off and trashed around all day...I've accomplished nothing....and I love it!!
How about you ?

Thank you, sweetcheeks!
It's about time I did it again!

TA, I totally would, like it's tempting, buuuut... =]
I'm going to bed!! Goodnight all!<3
I am really good thank triston, had a nice day, was asked to share some birthday cake,(lucky I'd been to the gym) had coffee, went to a parent thing at the school and now am waiting to go tutoring.
OH and got a very nice tax refund cheque!
Why Wendy.....hmmm...which half? And The only thing I left out was the YOU ;)
No PH I am kidding we get a few drinks in us and we CAN be cads so be careful.
I really do like chocolate
and Wendy you can really be on top every night
and I think that covers it
OH and BC ...I like the way you think :)
Goodnight Paperheart and sweet dreams!!!
Katherine: Are you still around?
Well, I took the flavour quiz, and I taste like peanut butter. That, or coffee. Hmm.
Triston, it's probably a good idea you haven't tasted other guitarists. They might not enjoy having your fangs buried in their necks. Unless, like you say, they're women.
I know one guitarist I'D like to taste! (Sorry, T, not you, dude.)
Wendy, L's leg has been bothering her today, quite a lot. She's still got knots all up and down it. Ask her to tell you about her test results and what the dr did. It's a tale, let me tell you.
Oh, and Logan's ok, he always has the sneezy-snots. Poor bunny, his allergies drive him nuts!
J
Goodnight PH I should be off to bed as well.
Hi BC, Wendy, Triston, ergo, ops, martha, paperheart, and katherine!
I hope no one played any crazy tricks on you yesterday!
Comcast has been playing crazy tricks on me! I lost the connection all day today and it just came back, so I thought I'd post before they screw me again. My PC is shot all to hell, too, even though I was told it was fixed. I am still using a laptop for everything. Anyway, if I disappear, it's because of this crappy computer situation and I may not be able to explain at the time either.
I'm wondering, to any who can answer - is there a group photobucket? I read about it yesterday, so I was wondering. Please email me if it is sensitive info :) I am hoping to take a pic with my new red hair soon - just been too busy.
Triston - Can you tell me the name of your band? Do you ever tour? I have friends in detroit punk bands and while most of their following is hometown, they do tour and say its a fantastic experience.
*wipes brow, typing fast* :)
Nite PH & MJ,
Sorry Wendy, had my attention elsewhere!
Time for me to go too! Goodnight all, and pleasant dreams!
Goodnight Bubbles! Take care. *hugs*
J
Why, thank you Triston :)
mj, if you're signing off, goodnight to you.
goodnight PH *HUG*
goodnight MJ sweet dreams!
triston, not at my gym! though there are some in cities that have cafes, rather defeats the purpose I think!
Goodnight Katherine. Sweet dreams. Hi Miranth *hugs*
Goodnight Martha and Katherine, sleep well!
Hey Miranth, if you're still connected!
J
Goodnight Katherine and Martha and Paperheart! Sleep well.
goodnight katherine sweet dreams
hello miranth! hope you're well
All this talk of being on top reminded of this classic:
She Likes It On Top
Lillian Axe
So you feel a little lonely girl
Well you know youre used to that one
Now the taste of sweet success
Is on your lips, you always want
some
Preview Lillian Axe songs
Sorry, couldn't find that video on youtube!
Picture perfect innocence
Behind a guard that she cant drop
Shes been around the world
Now shes back on the top
Chorus:
She wants everything put in her lap
Yeah she likes it on top
Shes in the right place
Though all along you knew it was wrong
The taste of blood got to ya
Now everyone whos on your list
You know they gotta do something for ya
Not a care at her expense
Shell pay the piper when he stops
Shes been around the world
Now shes back on the top
Chorus
She cries herself to sleep at night
Its not all its cracked up to be
She Cant See, Yeah
Shes a little lonely girl
Gets her kicks on top of the world
Solo
Picture Perfect Innocence
Shell pay the piper when he stops
Shes been around the world
Now shes back on the top
Chorus
Goodnight Katherine and Martha
Hello Miranth...well I haven't done any touring in the last few years. I do have an original project going and if I find it to be monetarily rewarding I would go on the road. I f not ..I am perfectly happy where I am at.
I have two cover bands An alternative one we have reformed and havent named yet...
The other is AZ IF which is just a bar band but that one also is getting retooled with a male singer and a Keyboard player.
My life is hectic right now.

I have a question do you have on demand in your area. Because my area doesn't have it yet because they need to do a lot of work to upgrade our area. So I was having a lot of problems with mu Internet.
They had to come over and rearrange the signal
*hugs* BC, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to tell you about the recurring issues here! How are you feeling?
Still here ops! But I do have to read back - I missed all of todays comments and just posted quickly. I wonder what I missed?
Wow ya'll are asking the hard questions tonight ;)
Now I am off to bed Goodnight
Goodnight to Katherine and HELLO to Miranth!
How are you, love? It's so good to have you back!!!!
*big hug*
Okay, how did the LINK find it's way into the middle of my comment up there?
Blogger is playing wicked games tonight!
Goodnight Martha and sweet dreams to you!!!
Wher is Steve now Wendy...are they touring. The last time I saw him he was selling insurance about 3 years ago....I was playing with Rusty Cavalier at the time.
Miranth, doing much better but my voice is still funny, thanks. I hope you're well *squeeze*
I guess blogger is playing games...I thought it was the 4 Chablis I drank.
Miranth, I believe you missed some anons, some general talking, some bashing, and the new post.
In other words, a typical day here!
TA, you missed all the "hard" talk earlier! heeheehee
J
a new singer and keyboardist! wow that'll change it a bit won't it?
what music does the alt band play?
oh and as you asked , yes the tattoo did hurt a bit, but wasn't too bad, what's yours? ;)
triston it's Grill a Vampyre Night!
I saw Steve last month (at the WASP concert).
They (Lillian Axe) are on tour break right now. I think he's working on some new Near Life Experience (his other band) music.
Ha....that video I can find!
I think. It has lovely cemetery shots ;)

Miranth: How are things on your farm? I hope your veggies are doing much better than mine!
I'm about to give up on gardening here!
I am good ergo, as are you, I hope?
triston, it sounds hectic, but a lot of fun. Creating original work can be very fulfilling, I find, with visual arts, and I imagine its the same for music. Let's hope its also rewarding financially! You play in 2 cover bands! I couldn't imagine making time for one... are your bandmates good friends? Do the cover bands have other members in common?
Martha - Yes we have on demand. I use it everyday to watch videos while I exercise, without it I wouldn't know what any members of my favorite bands looked like :)
It does not interfere with the computer's signal, though On Demand often still works when the cable internet is out. I have no idea why? If the computer modem has at least 2 flashing lights on it, On Demand works as does all of our cable channels. But if the modem only has one light flashing as a warning that the internet is out, then I know nothing at all will work. Its super frustrating I can tell you! Maybe they do have to rearrange the signal, so I'll call them when it goes out again, now that I have the laptop.
Also it doesn't work mostly when its wet outside. I think animals may have been chewing the cables and water gets inside... MMMMM cables :)
of course J!!!!
why didn't we see it before!!
We are all great friends, and The bass player is in the alternative and original project. But he is the only common denominator there. Everyone else is different.I'm pretty easy going and can get along with most.
I am good miranth
our veges got rained out, the basil and watermelons liked it but that's about all! We are just getting set to replant for winter
so triston you haven't met a (blood) type you didn't like?
Found NLE!
"Retrieve The Bodies"
Near Life Experience - Retrieve The Bodies
(yes, a Katrina inspired song)
ERGO...I am surprisingly picky ;)
Hi Wendy *big hug* Its so good to see you too! I miss hanging, and toasting marshmallows, etc :( I hope I make the next party!
On the farm, we're not ready to plant much yet, the ground is soaked, as the cable wires seem to be. We ordered EVERY kind of vegetable seed because food prices are supposed to increase due to fuel costs. I pretty much cook from our own food anyway, but we covered all of the bases. Is it very wet where you are? That may contribute to the problems you're having. Part of a polar ice cap broke off last week I believe, so water levels could rise even more. I hope Al Gore can save us! I don't know if he has any answers, though. :( That's prob. why he didn't run for pres...
Thanks ops! It does sound typical...
Sorry everyone! I haven't been paying attention *blushes*
I was hunting.....
;)
In my older years anyway.
Wendy How was WASP...Everyone I know that went was very disappointed.
lol triston!
ok I'm off farewell wendy elena bc triston OP's and miranth
have a great tomorrow and I'll catch up then!
bye!!!!
♥
Wendy, Triston, you guys could answer this for me, since you're both in NOLA.
Is Cowboy Mouth still around? I love them; Fred is such a great drummer, and his voice is really great. They're not metal, Wendy, but maybe you've come across them before?
J
Goodnight/day, Ergo, see you tomorrow!
J
I saw Cowboy mouth about 2 months ago.. They are around and doing fine!!
Goodnight Ergo
Goodnight Ergo.
I'm B postive - UNIVERSAL !
LOL !!!
I usually plant from seed to, Miranth. I was 'late' with my seeds this year so I went ahead and bought the seedlings from a nursery. They are not looking good at all though :(
I usually only plant tomatoes, eggplant, bell peppers (and jalapeno peppers) and green beans.
Of course, I have wild blackberry vines growing all over the yard!
Ohhh....and cucumbers!
Triston is correct J!
Cowboy Mouth is still ALIVE and Kicking! :D
Stop copying off of me Triston ;)
I see that now BC..lol

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone was probably disappointed because Blackie cut the set short by six songs!
It was of those nights where he had to PAY (big) to PLAY.
They only had 2 weeks to promote the show and nobody knew about it....
It was pretty empty there that night.
I thought he sounded incredible though!!! He's still an amazing performer.
^_^
ergo - Its depressing when you work so hard to plant and you get so little back. We got a ton of zucchini last year, including zucchini the size of your head :) We're still eating it from frozen packages! If you plant for the wet weather, you may have more success. With the state of climate change today, who knows what to expect, however!
My sister got a food storage sucker and sealer *laughing* I don't know what its called... :) But I am sure I'll put it to good use!
triston - that's cool you have another band member in both bands - it probably helps with scheduling - and remembering where you're supposed to be :) - though you sound like you've been doing this for a while! I like laid back people, too. Fun drama is cool, but too much of even a good thing can get annoying! If you ever do tour, make sure you tell us when and where - you'd have a pre-existing audience! :)
B positive is quite tasty....you will do just fine Wendy. ;)
Hi Mayo. Thanks for the new post.
Hi everyone else.
I hope you're all okay.
And 3 hours at the doctors office girl....whats up wit dat!!! I could drain you in 5 minutes ( Although with you I would make sure it would take at least 4) I can be quite playful.
Cool, I love Cowboy Mouth. When I lived in ATL, the radio station I listened to had Fred on all the time as a guest. He was funny, and fun to listen to.
Wendy, we can be blood sisters! I, too, am B+! WOW. Now I know who to call if I need extra! :D
J
Where have you been safe? We were worried about you. How are you dear?
SAFE!!! *hugs*
L and I were just talking about you today! How are you?

Hi BC!
Don't worry about me. I just when into lurk mode because everyone started fighting here around Easter.
How are you?
That sucks because I don't even know my own blood type :/
Wendy - you were hunting? Are you saying you are now a Vampyre??????
;)
Bye ergo! I hope you got to read my comment - it took a long time to type. :)
Wendy I am B positive too!!!! My sister was supposed to plant, but we were still having thick blankets of snow, so I don't know if she got around to it yet. Also the ground is so wet!!!! We were talking about building a solar greenhouse, too, we had one in our backyard in Detroit. It was hilarious actually. People were like 'what the hell is that?!?' They prob. thought it was for pot :) LOL
*Hugs L*
I'm glad you decided to come back! I missed your comments.
Um..That would be 4 hours...eh hem ;)
BC - You're prob. B positive too - it sounds like the rest of us are ;)
Hi Safe!
5 minutes? It that ALL, Triston??? ;)
SAFE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where have you been?
Did Ergo go bye-bye? YIKES, I really should pay more attention tonight...
GOODNIGHT ERGO and THANKS for the Scothch!
*wonders where Angel is tonight*
Aww safe I'm sorry. I'm good, just sick at the moment.
*Hugs J*
I'm glad you come back. I've missed your comment.
Sorry. I decided to adree you separatly because I, myself, have been thought of as two people in one if you know what I mean

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Umm...well......I have been known to BITE BACK ;)
hehe
Miranth, probably :)
Triston, naughty naughty ;)
Hi Miranth!
What's wrong BC?
True 5 minutes would suck
Triston Anatole said...
Um..That would be 4 hours...eh hem ;)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was wondering if you were planning to 'short' change me! ;)
Maybe the B+ thing is because we're the late-night crew, you know, some weird connection thingy. Ritual kind of stuff.
Safe, that's ok, most people assume L and I are the same person, even when they meet us in person! heeheehee We're more like sisters than best friends, really, but it's all good. Glad to see you back, too!
J
I'm off Ladies..The wine is Kicking in and I better take advantage of it. I can feel that silky lining already!!
Safe, its the flu. I'm feeling better, just my voice is off.
Lucky Wendy. Four hours ;)

This is, no doubt, some twisted sort of vampyre humor.
J
Night Triston, have a good one.
J
Goodnight triston. Pleasant dreams love.
Oh no! Now SAFE has more than one personality too?
I thinks it's contagious here in blog believe; or accustations are contagious!
Wendy, you ,never....You should get the whole show? And my parting question should be...If you take viagra and your erection lasts for more than four hours why do they say to call your doctor...I for one will be seeking out a nurse!
Good night and sweet dreams, Triston!
Try not to mist too much in the coffin!
;)

I get that too. I'm a twin and it really bothers me when people refer to me and my sister as The Twins or The Girls and not our individual names, so I won't be doing that to you and L even if you don't mind it.
*smacks Triston for that last comment*
:P
Triston - you should make it last longer than that - Savor it... ;)
Wendy - hmmmmm! I would say that's naughty, but if he bit you first - what's good for the goose, etc.. You get my meaning ;)
Safe - oops I forgot, she said flu! and I should have remembered as I always catch what's going around ;)
BC - Are you still contagious? Here's a *big hug* anyway! :)
triston - *laughing* not all nurses are female, but good try ;)
Lol triston. Wendy, it must be. At the beginning some anons thought I was you-know-who.
I'm sorry to hear that BC. Get better soon, that's an order!
Wendy - I have about 4 personalities, hehe!
I have to go now. Speak to you soon. Love and hugs.
Thanks Safe, that's nice. Lots of times we get lumped together: OPs, the Punks, etc. Which, like I said, is alright. But sometimes we can't be spoken of as one "entity", like when the nasty anons attack one of us but accuse both of us. It's just silly.
J

That must be it, J!
A "birds of a feather" type thing.
We're all NIGHT OWLS!
Still contagious I'm afraid but getting better. Thanks for the hug miranth :)
Goodnight, Safe, good to catch up with you. Take care.
J
http://www.buzznet.com/tags/mychemicalromance/forum/topics/278751/what-we-think-mikeys-new/
Goodnight and sweet dreams to SAFE (and the 3 other personalities as well)
I hope you ALL sleep well!
Thanks safe. Take care love.
Everyone else, I'm off to bed. Goodnight and sweet dreams guys. Love to you.
Elena: So, that's where you've been; in the buzznet woods...
hmm...thanks for bringing a sweet treat back to us!
Miranth: This gander agrees ;)
BC: Do you need more puffs, sweetcheeks?
Gerard's hair! It's trying to eat his face! AAAHHH!!!
And Bob! Imagine, this was the guy with the crew cut!
Mikey Mikey Mikey. He looks more and more like John Taylor to me.
But...where's Frank? *sticks lower lip out in pouty fashion*
J
I'm going to say goodnight (for now) as well.
I have a new scanner to hook up and e-mail surgery to get done!
Yep, I am STILL determined to "get 'er done" before sunrise.
Tell Sparkle I'm doing it for her J!
Goodnight Mayo, SS, Miranth, BC, Elena, J (L and Sparkle), lurkers and anons.....
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~
6/Wendy
Well looking at pictures and videos and writing the gothic chapter.
Night BC, hope you feel better soon! *hugs BC, also gives her some NyQuil*
As Denis Leary says, "Big N, little Y, GIANT FUCKING Q."
With such a ringing endorsement, it's got to work!
Wendy...wouldn't you be the goose?
J
Goodnight safe :)
Goodnight BC - sleep tight! *another big hug* just cause!
Sorry, J - I keep putting op, instead of J - I was reading quickly! I haven't met L, yet!
Goodnight, Wendy-girl! Have fun with your email! *hugs*
J
Mayonaise,
Thank you for the new post and thank you for stopping by. I hope your headache will get better. Try some sleep and it should work. It does for me at times.
Concerning your post, the only thing I will say is that you are a clever and articulate person, not to mention that it stirred some buzz. How was your day? Stay safe, happy, and healthy.
I sent my materials in for that art school. I should expect a decision within two weeks apparently. I'm a bit nervous, but I hope it works out.
Anyways, good night and sweet dreams to you love. Goodnight SS, lurkers, bloggers, anyone else.
Baa baa, baa baaba! Baa BAAAAAAAAAA baa!
--translation: Night night, Aunt Wendy! I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE you!
*nuzzles Wendy to give lambkin kisses*
J, wendy, miranth, I'll be okay. Some rest will help a lot. Thanks. Goodnight guys ♥
Nice to meet you, Sparkle, little lambkin*! *shakes hoof* :)
Goodnight Wendy!
The Mayo Gothic continues
The Direful Secret of Castle Mayo
by
Elena and Toujours
chapter 31
the joined laughter of the two dear friends matched the laughter down in the hall, and for one night, the castle was completely with joy.
Early the next morning Arabella awoke slowly. It took a moment for her eyes to clear. “Miranth, what time is it?”
“Oh Arabella, we’ve been so worried about you.” Miranth said sitting up in her chair, “We’ve been keeping watch over you.”
Arabella smiled thinking about Jenn who had fallen asleep on her watch. “I thank you all.” She said with a smile. “But how long have I been asleep?”
Miranth glanced at her watch, “It is just after six. I know that breakfast has been prepared.” She looked sheepish, “Actually the aroma has made my stomach growl. I do hope the sound did not awaken you.”
Arabella tried sit up but was shocked at the weakness in her limbs. “Please, go eat. I’m fine now.”
Sister Midnight entered the room, “You can’t be left alone.”
Using all her strength Arabella sat up slowly, “Surely I’m safe now. It is daylight. Artemus can not harm me.”
“No but his evil minions can.” Ergo said sadly walking in behind Sister Midnight.
“You mean the faceless one?” Arabella asked with a frown. “I do not fear them.”
The women looked at each other sadly. “Arabella something happened last night you need to be made aware of. Cupcake was lured outside.”
Arabella broke in before the compete story could be told, “Lured outside? Tell me she is all right.”
Miranth touched her arm, “Cupcake is fine.”
Still Arabella was shaken by the news, “It was Artemus waiting for her?’ She guessed with a shudder.
“Yes, the vile Artemus.” Cupcake said waltzing in and settling herself at the foot of the bed. “I, however, outsmarted him.”
Arabella felt her head begin to pound, “Could you please tell me the story from the beginning?”
Once more a look passed between the other women in the room. They dreaded telling Arabella the truth.
“I was told that Lord Mayo was waiting for me outside.” Cupcake said softly, “By Redrum.”
“Redrum?” Arabella repeated, “I do not understand. Redrum was fooled by Artemus?”
“No” Cupcake said looking down at her hands, “Redrum is Artemus’s servant.”
“That can’t be.” Arabella said sitting up even further but was rewarded with a sharp pain to her temple. The others saw her flinch with pain.
“Arabella lean back and rest.” Ergo said with authority. “You must regain your strength.” When she saw that Arabella was going to argue the point she added, “We need you to regain your strength, Lord Mayo needs you to regain your strength.”
“Did he speak to you last night?” Arabella asked as she leaned back. “Is he well?”
“He did not address us.” Sister Midnight said sadly. “We do however assume he is well.”
Arabella closed her eyes then spoke, “I do not understand about Redrum.”
“We too are shocked.” Ergo said, “Redrum has disappeared so no questions have been answered.”
“I must find Redrum.” Arabella said with determination. “I must know the truth.”
“You are not leaving this bed missy.” Sister Midnight said with a frown. “You are too weak.”
Arabella opened her eyes and was about to argue the point when she saw the look of determination on her friends face. “Later, perhaps.” She conceded.
Downstairs in the main hall another group of Lovelies were also discussing the events that has transpired the previous night.
“With Arabella in a weakened state are we safe?” BC asked sounding quite concerned.
“As long as we band together we will be fine.” Toujours assured her. “Our strength helped Lord Mayo pass through the barrier to save Arabella.” She reminded all those who were gathered around.
“Very true.” Sdock said with a smile. “I can still see him striding across the lawn towards us.”
“Oh please.” Her sister Smoke rolled her eyes, “Soon the story will be that he glided across the lawn his feet never touching the earth.”
“Actually he probably could have.” Amy said, “Vampire, remember?”
“Hush.” OPJ said glaring at her fellow Lovely, “We don’t need to dwell on that.”
“I don’t see why not?” OPL spoke up, “He is what he is and that’s what he will remain unless we help him.”
“True.” Toujours said, “That is why we shall help him. It is my sincere hope to one day see Lord Mayo walk across the lawn in the daylight.”
“But how can this dream become reality? A magical force somehow connects our Lord Mayo to his evil stepbrother. If we destroy Artemus then what of Lord Mayo? Will he be destroyed as well?”
“No, that will not happen.” Carried said rising from her chair, “We will not let that happen.”
“No we will not.” BC said with determination in her voice. “We shall find a way to save him.”
Much later in the day Arabella woke to find her “guard” Pixie asleep in the chair beside the bed. Pixie, like many of the Lovelies, had gotten little or no sleep due to the events of last night. Arabella slipped out of bed slowly surprised to find she felt stronger. Donning her robe and slippers she made her way out of the bedroom careful not to be seen my any of her sisters.
It was at the bottom of the cellar stairs she saw Redrum. “Wait” she cried out as Redrum quickly turned away, “Please.”
Redrum turned slowly, “I can not speak with you. It has become too dangerous. He is aware I’ve had contact with you. He will stop at noting to force me to give you misinformation.”
“I do not understand? You sent Cupcake out knowing Artemus was waiting for her?”
“I did what I could to warn her.”
“But why would you send her out at all?” Arabella asked.
“Because my master demanded I do so.” Redrum answered sadly.
Arabella struggled to understand, “But you have helped us in the past.”
“I have done what I could, what I believed was right. Now I must go. There is so much you do not yet understand, Arabella. I can no longer help you. To do so would mean my demise. My life, such as it is, is not worth much but still I cherish it.” With that Redrum turned and disappeared into the darkness.
Arabella watched Redrum go and felt a profound sadness. Shaking her head she decided she needed to find answers to the new questions that had arisen. She quickly moved to the wall, placed her hands on the stone and willed the passageway to appear. In a matter of seconds she stood at the threshold to Lord Mayo’s room. Briefly she wondered if she should knock but realized since daylight filled the sky he would be asleep. She pushed open the cupboard doors and moved inside the darkened room. It took her eyes a few minutes to search the darkness and find his shape stretched out on the bed. He did not move as she silently approached. For several moments she simply stood staring down at him. The small amount of light that the room offered allowed her to see that he looked so peaceful, so calm. Gone was the furrowed brow and the lines of worry that she had so often glimpsed. She slowly reached out to touch his cheek, “Arthur” she whispered.
Lord Mayo’s eyes few open and she cried out as his hand roughly grabbed her arm pulling her hand away from his face.
“You are hurting me.” Arabella said trying to break free from the almost bone crushing grip.
Slowly he loosened his hold, “What are you doing here? Do you not know it is dangerous to wake me during the daylight hours?”
“I’m sorry, I came to speak to you.” Arabella took a step back as he finally released her arm.
“Fool.” He said roughly, “My first instinct was to kill you. Why do you tempt this fate?”
Arabella took another step back. She had never seen Lord Mayo in this state. “I am sorry, I did not know.” Suddenly she once more felt a sharp pain in her head and swayed as a dizzy feeling overtook her.
Lord Mayo was on his feet in the blink of an eye. He caught her in his arms before her knees buckled. “You should never have left your bed. My brother is doing everything in his power to keep you from regaining your strength. You must understand this.” Gently he lifted her in his arms and placed her on the bed.
“I needed to speak to you. There are still so many things that I do not understand.” She said weakly.
He knelt down beside the bed, “Arabella you should never have come here.”
“I told you I am sorry.” She began to say but he shook his head.
“I meant you should never have come to this castle.”
Arabella closed her eyes in pain, “But you called to me. I had to come.”
Lord Mayo’s face took on an expression of infinite sadness, “No Arabella. It was not I who called you.”
Her eyes flew open, “Yes, I know you did. My ears heard your words, my heart felt your despair.”
He could not stop himself from brushing a stray strand of hair from her cheek. “It may have been my despair you felt but it was not my voice you heard.”
His icy fingers on her face started her but she fought not to let the emotion show. Realization suddenly dawned on her, “Oh my God. It was Artemus who called me.”
He pulled back his hand and nodded sadly, “Yes, I’m afraid it was. I did call the other Lovelies to this place, but not you. My brother is the one who called you here, not I. He sought to use your powers to gain complete control of the magical forces. He still means to use you for his plans.” He knew he needed to tell her the truth, “He means to use you to destroy me.”
S'okay, Miranth, some folks call us OPJ and OPL, or whatever. Personally, I like "J" by itself, but whatever, I'm not picky. :)
Not sure when you'll meet L, she's not usually up this late. You can always email us if you want, and talk to her that way...?
I think I'll go to bed too, it's nearly 4am. :P Had fun tonight, you wacky kids! *hugs for all*
Take care, talk to you soon!
Love/Peace/Happiness/Family
J
Goodnight then J! I hope my computer situation resolves itself, so I can meet L one day... My email link is on my page, too. Take care!
Goodnight elena and thank you for another post of the gothic! I hope you are doing well!
BTW, Miranth, Sparkle is Shaunette's baby sister. Shaunette is the official Mayo Castle sheep, and has been known to show up at various parties, has visited DM, and once had a fling with Party Sheep. Ergo can fill you in more on Shaunette. ;)
J
Dear Mayo,
Somehow, I have a feeling that you're glad AFD is over. Your prank-happy friend probably put you through the wringer today. At least I wouldn't doubt that he did.
I like your new post. It says it all, without saying anything in particular. As so many others have said, it doesn't matter who you truly are. You are my friend, and that's all that matters.
You're also a good, kind, considerate, intelligent, witty, well-read man who has a caring heart and giving soul. Don't let anyone tell you any differently.
Just one random question for you. Are you reading the gothic? If not, you should, it's fantastic. You're the star, you know!
So now YOU'RE Ghostbuster famous.
Take care, my brother.
love
J
Thank you J, I did wonder all this time! Shaunette had a fling with party sheep 8/ I hope she didn't catch anything!!! Sparkle is so very cute :) I know its cliche, but so true!
elena and bellatrix - sorry I didn't return hellos earlier - I had to return to work :( and when I got home the internet was down :((
Mayo
Hope your head is okay. Wow, let me rephrase that, I hope your headache is gone and your head feels better. I’m just gonna move on. So how was your day? It was great you chatted a few minutes when you posted. Still sorry about that tongue thing.
So I promised to keep you posted on the heebie-jeebies feeling I had. Well nothing strange happened so I was wrong again. Not too surprising. Hell, I even bought a lottery ticket after the whole lottery discussion. Well not really a discussion that would be totally one sided. It was one of those stupid scratch-off ones. You know you scratch off that silver coating to reveal stuff. Then you have that crap under your fingernails. Anyway, I lost so no big money for me.
However, I started thinking again about winning money. Nope, still don’t want to win a stupid huge amount of money. But for some reason (not even gonna try to figure out) it made me realize something. Okay about a year and a half ago I made this huge change in my life and at the time I made myself a list of three things I wanted to do. Sort of a “I’m gonna do this just cause” list. The first one was wear my hair any damn way I wanted. Now this doesn’t sound like much but believe me it was. I went from total ‘small town Kansas acceptable hair’ to “WTF?” hair. Yep, it’s three colors and damn long and I like it. Second thing on the list was get a tattoo. Well took care of that not once but twice and yeah, I’m gonna get a third so totally crossed that off the list. Now the third was get something to drive that I wanted. I was so tired of driving a stupid big-ass van. Here is the funny part of the story. I mentioned this to my husband and he totally blew me off. Well I didn’t want to let this one go. I mean really it was huge and ate gas like a mother fucker. So one day he said “fine just go trade it in and get something else.” Oh Lord, he never in a million years thought I’d do it. Hell, I’ve never bought a car before, not by myself. So as soon as he went to work I got in that monster, drove it to a car lot and traded it in on a PT Cruiser. (Wanted a Viper but well you know). The look on his face when I told him was priceless. Naturally he had to tell me what a bad deal I got, ect, ect. That was too be expected cause I’ve never done anything right. Know what? I didn’t care. I got a car I wanted.
So today I realized why I’ve been feeling sorta blue. I miss having a list of goals. Things I want to do. I’m making another and I’ve given myself a year to accomplish them. First off I’m gonna see New York. The husband has been there twice, hated it and said he’ll never go back. Well, good I say. I’ll go by myself. Second I want to be a storm chaser. Yep, I told you before, I’m gonna chase tornados. Third thing I’m gonna do is learn to play the drums. Yeah, there is no why other than just cause I want to. There now I’ve got three new goals and I’ve got something to shoot for. I feel better already.
Mayo I just noticed this is stupid long. I promise tomorrow night I will totally edit myself.
Night Mayo
Elena (list in hand ready to go)
No worries Miranth. Hope you don't mind being in the gothic. Well I'm off to get 3 hours of sleep. Talk to you later.
SS, my precious, did you enjoy your (possibly) favorite day of the year? Did you "get" Mayo? What'd you do? C'mon, you can tell me...
I told you, didn't I, that I finished "American Psycho"? Man, that was a rough read. Don't think I'll tackle that one again. I DID get through it, though. Not totally unscathed, either.
Wherever you are, I hope you're having a great night, and taking it easy, at least a little bit. What's that quote, "...and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest"? Well, that's what I wish for you.
I love you, babydoll. Goodnight, and sweetest of dreams.
J
Elena - Thank you! I am glad to be a part of the story. Your writing is so suspenseful that I always wonder what's coming next... I do have a hard time putting a good book down before its finished... and I think you may know what I mean, being a bookseller. :)
I think I'll try to get a few hours sleep myself. Goodnight to anyone lurking!
He he! All of you are wishing me goodnight which is funny. I'm in the UK, so it's nearly 10 am here. Thank you anyway. I had to go to the doctors.

J that's so nice and true. Yep, I've really missed yours and L's comments.
Morning Mayo, Goodnight Miranth & Hello to SOTW!
Oooh, there's myriad people I think you could be Mayo, and equally loads of people I think you're not; some based on intelligent deduction, others on wild stabs in the dark - which are generally more fun! I've made peace with the fact that there will never be that priceless moment when Jimmy U takes to the stage in an "I am Mayo" T-shirt, but a girl can always daydream can't she?!
Now back to looking like I'm studying hard and really paying attention to today's tasks, when really I'm propped up on my hand getting some well-needed microsleep. Then another coffee, then some more procrastination...
I love you all,
Kass xx
Morning errbody!
Morning Mayo!

Mayo, L, J, BC, Martha and all the other sick/injured/plagued by headaches folks around here: I hope you all feel better today!
Safe and Lewis: Again, welcome back to both of you!
To ponder today (since there has been much talk of words/twisting words to mean what you want them/need them to mean) and (because when opportunity knocks, I open the door ASAP), some lyrics for ya'll:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Inside Out"
Lillian Axe
You're taking our words
You turn them inside out
You're stealing our words
For something to write about
It's a secret joke to you
To twist the facts all upside down
But it's fallacy
It's time you hear from me, yeah
CHORUS:
We're gonna turn you - inside out
You'll twist and turn - inside out
It's time you learn - inside out
Fear for your integrity
You can't hear
What we're trying to say
We're not marionettes
It's our turn to play
Sitting on your throne of greed
Trying to take our thoughts away, away
Stand up for the cause
Cause we're all here to stay, yeah
CHORUS
Inside out, inside out
Now it's a secret joke to you
To twist the facts around, around, around
But it's fallacy
It's time you hear from me
We're gonna turn you - inside out
Turn you around - inside out
It ain't like it sounds - inside out
I'm the one who speaks for me
We're gonna turn you - inside out
You'll twist and turn - inside out
That is why I sing this song
I know I'm right and you are wrong
Inside out (repeat)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Have a great day everyone. I hope none of you have your words twisted and turned INSIDE OUT...
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

*Don't worry Sparkle, you're still Aunt Wendy's favorite
PS: okay, feel free to blame the vampyre for THOSE lyrics. He did inspire me to dig out my old Lillian Axe cds! :p

Mayo,
How are you today? I hope your motherfucker of a headache has gone away or at least subsided. I feel the small little twinges of one myself. Oh well, oh well, oh well...
Mayo, I have decided...I know what you are....YOU are all that, a bag a chips, an RC Cola, and a moon pie! To me, anyways...don't know what that's worth to you.
Two snaps and a twist for Mayo!
Love to YOU Always,
S

I love my sister, Solly!
hey all
Elena - fabulous again! How do you two do it!!
Miranth so glad your computer held out, Shaunette sleeps outside, sometimes in her barn but sometimes under any convenient flowering shrub, she has a thing for tutu's and glittery things, hopefully you'll meet her one day.
Elena I meant to tell you! I actually had a very nice surprise in my tax return, so something good happened to someone, it's your turn next - and awesome getting the car you wanted! (not that I know it but I can google tomorrow.)
Safe lovely to see you again, hope I get to chat sometime
Triston, A- I'm a rare one! You haven't lived until you've walked on the negative side!(and I actually know genetically I am
AO --)
Hi fim sdock smoke kass fasc PP etc
Mayo not much time tonight, I'm tired.Not in a bad way, just in a late night want to go to bed way.
Hope you have good nights sleeps. Your post, a thought struck me when I read it and I hadn't noticed anyone mention it yet (but they may have) was it your identity or your character you spoke about.I'm not who some people think I am by my choice, some by their own narrow view of life, some by never looking hard enough. I am who I am to a few I treasure.Just curious.
Wishing understanding, happiness, comfort and safety to you and yours
much love

SS how are you? Hoping you'll call by again someday soon, when you have a chance. Still love the April fools!
Sending you giggles guffaws and belly laughs!
lotsa love

Goodnight blog believe
see you in the (my) morning!
Mayo:
Good morning to you! I just had some yogurt, and it was fantastic!
Didn't get my goodnight in last night, and here's why: I probably slept a total of, I dunno, 15 hours yesterday? I never do that, so I zonked out.
"Don't You Know Who I Think I Am?" (titles are not copyrightable, so take it and run). Alone together, we're alone. It doesn't matter, Mayo. It really doesn't. Just promise us, promise me, that you'll continue to just be yourself. That's all I want, because it sucks when you're unable to.
I'm really glad to hear you're doing well. It's always nice to know, because sometimes I (we) can be dense as fuck when reading your posts and are sometimes unable to tell. So, it's good to know you are.
(You know how your parents always say they want you to have the things they didn't growing up?)
I want you to have all the things I don't. I want everyone here to have that. Somehow, someway, I think we would all be happier if it was possible.
Wishing you a bright, bright, sunshiny day. Later, Mayo.
SS:
Turn the freakin' lights back on! Joke's over! ;) Kidding, kidding. Maybe you like sitting in the dark. I like sitting in the dark. You find lots of things in the dark, like lightening bugs, a lifehouse, a SOS signal from a far-off flashlight.
But, mostly you find that when the lights come back on, you're all bruised and shit from bumping into stuff. :/ Anyway! That matters not!
Have a good day after Tom Foolery day! One more for good luck! Maybe another!
Smell ya later, buddy.
Goodmorning, BBers!
I'll see you all later. Got things to do and people to make happy.
Have a great day, everyone!
Jules:
Thank you very much for you poem. But, I have you know, it really is a freakin' bodysuit. Honest.
;)

Anyways good morning to you all (hi there FASC!) and thank you as always Princess, Solly and Splash. ^_^
Mighty quiet 'round these parts. Which is kinda nice, right?
Hey, Mayo, you're not "3:30 only" on this post, yeah, so, you gonna pop back on so that you can say something else and change your time? ;D
And are you still, "Always" missing?
S(S)S, hope your awesome self is out there totally not being serious about anything right now. :D
Oh! And that cat bite is doing better. Sometimes if I ignore these things they go away.
anon who left "Desert Song" video link

Love this one. Someone throw a shirt and it lands on Gerard. Not sure what he says.
And you must keep your soul like a secret in your throat
GRRRRRRRR!
Update on my life.
Oldest daughter was driving on the highway and saw someone off the road with a flat. She went all the way back to help them. Other cars slowed down to look, long story short, another car not paying attention that traffic had slowed plowed into her car. She says she's okay but her car is totaled. The police was there now and I can hear them trying to calm her down and telling her it's not her fault. She's gonna call back soon with more info.
Hi guys. Oh Splash, I loved Vampires, so hardcore. It was one of my first favorites. Oh man, that brings me directly back to last year when I fell in love with MCR.
*a tear*
I just got back in. Is anyone lurking? Mayo, are you in the shadows somewhere? ^_^ S(S)S, bored and surfing the 'net?
No? Only me?
*whistles*
It's getting hot in herre, so take off all your clothes!
I am. Gettin. So hot. I'm gonna take my clothes off!
Oh, Elena's here!
Oh jesus, that's so scary. Your poor daughter!
See, this is the kind of thing that makes me second guess having kids, you know? Because I'd be such a mess and I don't know how I'd deal with stuff like that.
Kapunua dealing comes with the territory. You just learn it as you go along. I just wish her good deed of trying to help someone else hadn't turned out this way. Still I'm proud of her for trying to help.
Yeah, talk about no good deed going unpunished.
That's what every mom tells me, that stuff like that happens and you deal with it because you have to. But I'm very selfish and sometimes I think that I don't know if I could spend my life worrying so much. I panic now as it is when the littlest thing happens to someone in my family or one of my friends. My really close friend, his son has just been diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and the prognosis isn't too good. The kid's a year and a half old. You know how it started? He had an earache and the doctor said, "He looks a little pale, let's test for anemia."
Well, if I had a kid and it looked "a little pale" I'd probably be in a fit of hysterics.
I don't know how some people do it. And everyone says, "You just do," but like I said, I just have this really selfish side that wonders, "Can I give up that much peace of mind?"
It's really something to think about.
I glad your daughter is all right and I'm sorry about her car.
But see, she's pre-disastered now. She's already had her scary thing happen so now she has to be all right for at least the next ten years. ;)
/neurotic
Kapunua, I want to ask you a question about "Calaf" if you didn't mind.
Kapunua all I can say is I understand how you feel. When my kids were babies I panicked every time they had the smallest thing wrong. But you find an inner strength you don't know you have when you need it. I wouldn't trade having my girls for anything in the world. Yeah, they drive me crazy but I love them with all my heart.
I get what you're saying, Elena: That no matter what, it's worth it.
It's the scariest decision of all and it kills me that so many people take it so lightly, you know? Oh my god, my cousin. Her kids are so neglected (one of them has scars from third degree burns because she left him alone in the kitchen as a toddler and he pulled boiling soup on himself. The other had to go to the emergency room because she ate a stick when she was about a year old. And the oldest, we won't even get into.) And she just pops them out every few years. It makes me so mad and frustrated. Here I am, 35 and still thinking if I could even handle it. Tick, tick, tick...
It pleases me so much when people care as much as I think I would, and I find it so brave.
Anon, go on and ask, but I probably won't be able to answer because I know just as much as you do. ^_^
I hope your daughter is OK Elena.
OK Kapunua. Have you thought about the possibility that Calaf is someone you know in real life? The time you always talk about, he seemed to know some things about you that no one else knew. Could he be someone who googled your name to hear OR could he be someone you met and who found you here? Or someone from live journal? I'll tell you why once you answer the question.
Who do we think you are?
Not sure I get it.....
Perhaps a double-bluff methinks.
Very clever, almost as clever as me.
Almost.
Love to all,
M X
Anon thank you for your concern about my daughter!
She called back and is a bit calmer now. The other drivers insurance is getting her a loaner car and that was her biggest worry. I'm still trying to convience her to go get check out at the hospital. She had her seatbelt on but still hit the steering wheel.
Hey anon. I considered the possibility briefly, before finding it highly unlikely. I don't know that many people in real life, to be honest. And I don't know anyone who could lurk here for so long and not slip up. And I absolutely don't know anyone in real life who would even be interested in this.
I do have a semi-stalker but I only see him once a year and there's no way he'd show up here. He follows me around at an annual party and that's about it.
As far as LJ, I do have a friend from LJ who lurks here and she commented once. But she's not Calaf; she has no reason to be.
The other thing is that Calaf (or Spooky Anon from that day--I suspect there are two people actually,) answered a question that anyone I know in real life would have answered the opposite, I guarantee it. That's what made it so weird. Not only that he knew the question, but knew the right answer. That was weird.

Perhaps a double-bluff methinks.
A triple bluff, it being April Fool's Day and the date being the title of the entry. There are two people Mayo is often thought to be. Twice Mayo says "I am not who you think I am." Then he says, "Who you think I am not, I am." That's how I read it, meaning we just haven't guessed.
Either way it's an XK Red27 Technique and yes, it is about five layers of clever. Props, yo.
Elena, she should get herself checked out. Ribs bruise really easily and it might not hurt till the next day.
Whiplash can take a day or two to manifest also, and that'll make your whole head and back ache.
I say this to everyone and their brother but she should see a chiropractor!
OK Kapunua here's my thoughts.
A long time ago (OK only lst summer) I was reading your HUGELY read MCR concrt review. I was someone who was interested in helping you w/ your movie but unfortunately I live too far away to help you. We spoke before. The review you wrote was hugely read and lots of people put it in memories. It's not taking it too far to say that it's probably the most read MCR concert review on live journal ever. (I don't know for what it's worth but I think you are a huge loss to the fandom and I'm sorry you're not into them anymore.... I would love to read more reviews like that)!
Going back to Calaf. Reading your review you mentioned that you were talking to Frank and you were making crazy gestures while you were talking. Well if you look back, Calaf said that you made crazy gestures while you were talking.
So maybe either it is someone from live journal messing with you, or mabe not messing but just trying ot be nice because I tell you, everyone practically in the internet fandom read that review. Or maybe Calaf was someone who was actually there at the concert while you were talking to Frank....?
I know some people think that Calaf is Mayo too. Do you think so Kapunua?

CALAF IS KAPU. I don't kno wwhy no one else sees this!!! She is Calaf and she just tries to get Mayo's attention on her! Or Calaf is GV, that would mean that Mayo is GV too, because Mayo would not pay that much attention to Kapu. Only GV would, or Kapu herself would to GET Mayo's attention.

Well then aloha! Thank you for that. I got so many offers of support it was crazy. Oh man, I was so surprised people were into it.
(I don't know for what it's worth but I think you are a huge loss to the fandom and I'm sorry you're not into them anymore.... I would love to read more reviews like that)!
Thank you for this, too. I wish things were different.
Going back to Calaf. Reading your review you mentioned that you were talking to Frank and you were making crazy gestures while you were talking. Well if you look back, Calaf said that you made crazy gestures while you were talking.
O_o I didn't remember writing that, but I guess I did.
So maybe either it is someone from live journal messing with you, or mabe not messing but just trying ot be nice because I tell you, everyone practically in the internet fandom read that review. Or maybe Calaf was someone who was actually there at the concert while you were talking to Frank....?
It could be someone who read that, that's true. I don't think it's malicious at all. Whoever Calaf is, he is nice to me. Yes, it was a little spooky, but it intrigued me and to this day it makes me smile.
As far as it being someone who was there, that leads me to your next question.
I know some people think that Calaf is Mayo too. Do you think so Kapunua?
I don't think that Calaf is Mayo. Someone suggested it and I answered that Mayo was "too costly to wear everyday." That only meant that Mayo is too busy to be talking to me anonymously. And that's cool. Besides which, I'm pretty sure Calaf said that he wasn't Mayo at one point and I believe him. I also think that there are two people (probably independent of each other and maybe who don't even know about each other,) that I refer to as Calaf; sometimes they read differently to me. I don't think it's some kind of conspiracy or trickery; more like me being a doofus and calling everyone who's nice "Calaf" or something.
Moving to what you seem to be getting at re: Calaf being someone at the show, I don't think so, because that would imply Calaf = Mayo and I don't think that's true.
Now before everyone jumps on me and says that I'm thinking Mayo is Gerard Way: No. I do not think that Mayo is anyone in MCR. I have suspicions as to a connection and I think Mayo lives on the east coast, so yeah, it's possible that Mayo was there. (Mayo has apparently been places.) But Mayo has never clapped eyes on me, and Mayo is not Calaf,
so now I'm confused about what I was trying to say.
I told you I wasn't going to be able to answer your question. ;D I'm sorry; I tried though. ^_^
