My heart is a vacuum
and in it a prickly pear.
It is nothing that I swallowed,
it was you who put it there.
In absence of sunlight
it grows and bares flesh
while spines follow limbs
to a fine found filament
of sugar frosted fingers
for my grip almost spent.
It purges heat and a punch
then I swallow it back,
that prickly pear
perhaps, I did put it there.
p.s. it really wasn't as grand as I thought it would be.

J the night terrors aren't as bad as nightmares though, there's no story so they're bad at the time but you forget them, they don't haunt you
oops sorry L
thanks for the tiara
hi BC
I must go again I might call back in an hour or so
OP-L - She has lung infections related to cystic fibrosis. She's 12 now. I asked her today and she says she's no longer as afraid of needles, but when she was little, she would scream and crawl under the hospital bed. It was terrible to see.
Hi Ergo, L. See you guys later. Hi miranth, how are you? It's so good to have you back.
Well guys, I'm off to have a shower, do a little reading, etc.
*hugs*
I hope you all have a good night guys!
*more hugs*
And Mayo, *hugs* for you too.
And you, SS.
xoxo cupcake
Hi BC *hugs* I missed you!!!!! How are you?
Sorry I missed you Op-L! The dog started barking and I had to go take care of her.
Thanks ergo! She usu gets rid of these infections with the current treatment. That's what is so scary. But at least she has access to great medical care, as many people don't...
Take care Cupcake. Miranth, I missed you too!! *hugs*
I'm doing well L, thanks. See you later!
Bye cupcake! I am glad that reading and movies work for you and I hope you never have another ordeal like that four hour episode! That's awful!
Take care :) *hugs*
BC - have you seen lestat again? Or tom or al or any of the others?
Sadly, no I have not, and Tom continues to harrass me with his newly confession of "love" towards me, and I now have various celebrities lurking on my blog.
Good thing is, it seems I just acquired a bodyguard in the form of Phil Anselmo.
Seriously, honestly, I have NO idea who these celeb anons are. They just showed up without warning.
Taking the opportunity to post a short concert 'review':
MCR were absolutely wonderful live as they usually are. I watched from the pit near Frankie most of the show. Mikey stood next to him, between Frankie and Gerard... I thought he might be playing nanny, which made me smile. :) They played a very long set with some new and old songs mixed in. At one point, GW said he always wanted one of the yellow caps with antennae that fans gave him, so I held up a fan that my niece had given me for Gerard. He thought it was art, or a Macbook, then realized it was a "quill for writing poetry" :) It was actually a feathered fan. I can't remember every song they played, particularly as I left the pit on occasion to check on my friend. But they did rock, playing a variety of songs, and they played till at least 11 pm, which surprised me!
I talked to Frankie after the show, but I was mortifyingly awkward, which is unlike me. I let a cruel woman (who thought she was funny) unnerve me. Another fan had given Frankie her cap and she was really sweet, which did help. He evasively answered questions about leathermouth, but he was flustered when directly questioned. All in all - very, very awkward, but it was super sweet of him to talk to fans.
BC! You have Phil Anselmo as a bodyguard! That's fuckin' fantastic! I think he can take care of Tom, if Katie doesn't first ;) *laughing*
Great review Miranth!
And concerning Phil, it is pretty awesome. And I'm sure he can kick Tom's ass. I think Wendy is gonna be happy to hear about this ^_^
Thanks BC! Wendy should be pleased...but where is she? She's usu. the one getting the party started... :)
Well, lately, she's been coming here a bit more late than usual. She should be here soon.
For the sharp reference, did anyone say Becky Sharp from Thackeray's Vanity Fair: A Novel without a Hero? or SHARP - Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice?
hi again
thanks for the review miranth glad you had a good time
Hi Ergo
Hi ergo! The music was so good, I couldn't help but have a good time! And most of the fans were really sweet.
I found that at mine too
and how is your place going miranth? we've been planting some veges for winter and have 4 new chicks
what have you been up to BC?
anything interesting?
Nothing exciting to report I'm afraid Ergo. Just enjoyed the beautiful weather we've been having the last few days.
thats good we've had nice weather too. hope it'll hold over the weekend while we camp out
I actually wish it was thunder storming right now. I don't like it when it's sunny almost every day.
ergo - We have lots of chicks (the incubators worked) and lots of eggs to eat. My sister has been doing some work in the garden and the ground is drying out finally. My nieces are getting pigs, so we're building a bigger pen. We had one pig before, but I know a lot of people here are vegetarians, so I haven't talked about the pig much. We can only keep them for so long because eventually they grow tusks and become very aggressive. And they grow to be over 200 pounds, which is scary... but at least they have a good life. The pig we had before thought he was a dog and emulated everything our anatolian shepherd did. Its hysterical to see a pig bark and jump up and down to play :)
Mayo
So my little Sharp Man don’t take this the wrong way but sometimes you make my head hurt. I get so caught up in trying to figure you out my head starts pounding, Now I ask myself why I do this? I mean really, why? Okay I suppose the answer is cause I worry about you and think that somehow I can help. This, in itself, is kinda funny. Shit, I can’t figure myself out so why do I think I can figure you out?
Anyway something weird happened today and I wanted to share the story. Okay how weird is it that when something happens my first thought is “I’ve gotta remember to tell Mayo”? Well I know why, really. No one else would listen and you, my friend, are a captive audience. Sucks to be you. So anyway I was driving to work and just missed being in an accident by mere minutes. That was scary but what was worse was it happened outside a store that I had just entered. The woman involved jumped out of the car and left it in the middle of the highway. Bumper completely off, air bag deployed and she runs towards the store. I just stared at her. The guy she hit got pushed into a ditch and I could see people helping him. She runs in and asks to use the phone cause she’s going to jail. I’m guessing someone had a warrant out for their arrest? Then she changes her mind and leaves the store. A man outside told her she needed to go back over to the accident scene and she started cursing him and talking about jail again. Next thing you know she just takes off running down the road. Hell, I don’t know if the police caught her or not. I really thought I was watching one of those reality TV shows. I was expecting “Bad Boys” to start playing in the background. Okay that was my story. If you actually read through this, thank you. If not then I don’t have to say anything to you cause you’re not reading this.
So sharp ….Yeah I’m back on that. You’re sharp. Well, if I had to describe me in a word I’d go with Dull. Hey opposites.
Oh yeah I better not forget this or my wayward sister would get pissed. TJ said to tell you that she’s missing this place and that she misses you. We’ve really been going through her text minutes. She’s right now on a bus somewhere heading to Kentucky. She’ll have Internet there so my messenger services will no longer be needed. Wait a text from her….Be right back. Shit I just realized how funny this sounds – Like I’m talking to you on the phone – “Wait a minute Mayo, I’ll be right back.” God, I’m weird…..
Okay TJ’s message… “I hope my imagination got the best of me tonight – riding through the night on a bus has left me with little to do but worry. I hope you’ll forgive my excesses, but the thread around my wrist was pulled very tight tonight.”
Hey a goodnight within a goodnight. My, my, Mayo, a special treat for you. Two for the price of one. This is starting to sound creepy. Better just quit now, don’t you think?
Night Mayo
Elena (yep, dull)
oh miranth!! I had a pig named Valentine who acted like our dog!
She used to run down to the gate grunt/barking!People were more scared of her than the dog and she'd hide under the steps and grunt really loudly as you walked down to scare you, but our pigs obviously end like yours.
Ours have always been feral trapped piglets but our last was a boar and we just called him Angry Pig, he was too old to tame so we just wormed and fed him up a bit.
You should post a pic of the animals, or email me,I posted a pic of our chicks a few days ago
goodness elena!
it does sound like a thing you'd see on one of those police video tv shows!
and TJ even if the thread is pulled tight all our thought and love are preventing you drifting too far away!
You're always here in spirit for me :)
Goodnight Elena
Goodnight elena! Sorry I missed you!
ergo - I never thought of posting pics! My niece knows how to upload digital pictures, so I'll ask her. The pigs aren't here yet as they're being shown at the 4H fair. It's funny that the ducks run away unless you have food and the geese open their mouths and blast you with the loudest screech when you get close enough to photograph them, so I never thought of it. I hope you're not offended that I think chickens are boring by comparison! :) The chicks are cute, but very smelly when taken from the incubator. The angora rabbits are cute too! We must have at least 30 of those... We have old pictures on Carbonite backup, from the implosion of our main computer, but we were unable to download everything because the internet was out. Anyway, the kids would have fun photographing the animals! Thanks for the idea! Valentine sounds like (s)he was a character too! I'll check out your pics if they're on your blog.
no miranth it was
on here
I'll have to redo it when I have time for you
and angora rabbits! wow how wonderful, are they friendly?
I had a friend with geese they are lovely but messy, one would let you hug it!
ergo - the angora rabbits are a bit scared of people, though we do go out and cuddle them while they are babies because my sister and other family members use the fur to spin yarn, so they have to get used to being brushed. They live in the pole barn, which is far removed from the house, so they have less contact with us. The geese and ducks wander freely during the day. But our geese are mean - they spit and hiss at you! That is too cool that you got to hug one!!!
I had better go I will say goodnight early today as we'll be packing up for tomorrow
mayo
your sharp just made me start hearing ZZ top, every girl crazy bout a sharp dressed man
( I think smoke said it too but I could be wrong)
SO I really hope the sharp refers to something good, and if it doesn't I hope good things take it's place for you.
I had a busy day, helping a friend again, sometimes you realise how lucky you are, and how fortunate you are if you can help out someone experiencing a bit of difficulty.
And I bought a new pair of sunglasses, I lost mine! Don't you hate that! I really liked them too, the new ones are pretty good but I am still hoping my others will turn up ( I never buy really expensive ones, too risky! But I love polarized glasses, especially for driving and fishing.)
so wishing you soft pillows, cool sheets, warm blankets and goodnight kisses.
much love EP xx
SS so nice to see you around again, you have a knack of cutting to the chase and seeing what is really important, thank you.
It always helps to be reminded sometimes and remembering the fun and meaningful things we've done in the past is a good way to move thoughtfully into the future.
Sending you warm hugs, sweet kisses and compliments (for whatever you think is looking really good about you today!)
lotsa love EP xx
goodnight blogbelieve!
see you BC and Miranth
shame I missed you *smooch* wendy. I'll be gone a couple of days so I hope you have as much fun as I hope to! I'll miss chatting.
take care !!
Goodnight Ergo. Have a great trip!
See you ergo! :)
Goodnight BC *hugs* if you're still about?
Morning Mayo & miscellaneous others,
Just a quick note to remind anyone who works with photocopiers that the "Caution: Hot Surface" warning on the internal workings is there for a reason, because I now have only 9 fingerprints!
Here's hoping I can claim "Industrial Injury" and spend the day shopping for new trainers...
Kass xx

Ah, so that's what the screaming was - I couldn't be sure if it was you or Fimble! I, however, laughed like a drain - it's funnier because it's Ronaldo. Seriously though, I hope you win the return leg 'cos I hate Barca more.
Sadly I can't go home early, even though I'm obviously really injured...
Have a lovely Thursday too!
Kass xx

When I am with you, I am me
there is no pain, no fear, no hurt
You give me all that I need
and leave me speechless with no words
All I can do is show you how I feel
with my touch, my warmth, my fire
and our love that makes this dream real
Always.
When I'm with you
April 23, 2008 7:35 AM
with every word you say
with every breath I take
I love you more and more
with every beat of our heart
with every dream we share
I love you more and more
with every night that passes
with every day that dawns
I love you more and more
and more
I am here for you
Always
for you
my love, my heart, all my tomorrows
Looking For Your Face
....
Your fragrant breath
like the morning breeze
has come to the stillness of the garden
You have breathed new life into me
I have become your sunshine
and also your shadow
My soul is screaming in ecstasy
Every fiber of my being
is in love with you
Your effulgence
has lit a fire in my heart
for me
the earth and sky
My arrow of love
has arrived at the target
I am in the house of mercy
and my heart
is a place of prayer
be well my love
I, however, laughed like a drain - it's funnier because it's Ronaldo.
i do understand where you are coming from kass!

Mayo, I had this creeping suspicion that you were lurking around here today.
If you are, do come out and say something to everyone. I promise you I won't leap out from behind a corner and throw words at you. You won't even know I'm here, but it'd be nice to read you.
ROFL!! Youre actually GETTING IT for once. Who would have thought. You couldnt stop annoying the hell out of everybody just to get Mayo to notice you even if you really wanted to.
with every word you say
with every breath I take
I love you more and more
with every beat of our heart
with every dream we share
I love you more and more
with every night that passes
with every day that dawns
I love you more and more
and more
I am here for you
Always
I never thought
my heart could be so full
could beat so strong
I never thought
I would take a calming breath
I never believed
one touch could warm my soul
I never imagined
sweet dreams were mine to have
Until...
You found me
You have given me faith and made me a believer.
Thank You, my love.
When I Saw You
Soft heavenly eyes gazed into me
Transcending space and time
And I was rendered still
There were no words for me to find at all
As I stood there beside myself
I could see you and no-one else
When I saw you
When I saw you
I could not breathe
I fell so deep
When I saw you
When I saw you
I'd never be
I'd never be the same
Only once in a lifetime love rushes in
Changing you with the tide
And dawn's ribbon of light
Bursts through the dark
Wakening you inside
And I thought it was all untrue
Until there, all at once, I knew
When I saw you
When I saw you
I could not breathe
I fell so deep
When I saw you
When I saw you
I'd never be
I'd never be the same
With no beginning
And without an end
You are the one for me
And it's evident
And your eyes told me so
Your eyes let me know
When I saw you
When I saw you
I could not breathe
I fell so deep
When I saw you
When I saw you
I'd never be
I'd never be the same
Hi morning people. :)
Well Mayo, I was falling asleep last night and a lightbulb went on over my head as if someone had flicked it. Umm, it's probably a really stupid lightbulb but still.
So, we've always discussed the light, looked at it, written about it, had photographs of it, weaved it, and all that kinda thing. How come it never occurred to be before to ask you why you were so interested in it? The only things I've ever been clear on (and seldom at that) is the wheres and whens, sometimes and rarely the whats, never the whos, and I never bothered to ask--at least about this one subject, the light--the whys. I mean like, what do you do with it? To the light, where is your relative place? One time I said, ""you will ever in truth hold the light in your palm." Well I mean, it could be less of a metaphor than I intended? This is of course a wild stab in the dark which is exactly what the "anons" are considering if I keep talking to you. ^_~
Either way you can't say; I realize this. But I just wanted to babble. :)
Right, gotta run. Have a good day. ^_^
Mayo,
Hey, how are you doing? I hope you are happy and well and all that jazz. Me? I dunno. I'm okay I guess. I seriously am not really sure how I am going to be today.
Do you ever wake up and just know that it's going to be one of those days where you are doing battle all day long? You start popping your knuckles, rolling and cracking your neck. Making fists and punching the air like a boxer. Listening to some asskicking music to get yourself psyched up. Something like "Eye of the Tiger". Jogging in place. Giving yourself pep talks. Maybe letting rip a primal scream or two. Practicing your evil stare. One that could kill with a glance.
But wait....
Here comes my opponent
her image is getting clearer
Silly girl just realized
she is looking in the mirror
Feel me? Fuck yes, you do.
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. Oddsmakers say its 2 to 1 for..
Good morning/afternoon/night Mayo, SS, FASC, TLA, Kass, Ergo, J, L, Miranth, BC, Cupcake (I missed you all last night & I 'miss' you), Possum (where are you?), PJ, watchers, lurkers, sharp dressed men and women of blogbelieve!
How are you all this *insert appropriate time of day here*?
Well (and good), I hope!
As I said up there, I missed you all last night! I was trying to cheer up a depressed friend - again. I think I failed in my attempt, this time. Well, hopefully he'll decide to accompany me to the concert tonight! I think a night of live music and Bourbon Street would do him good.
Miranth: It's WONDERFUL to see you again AND to hear you had such a great time at the concert! Sending hugs and love to you and your family!!!! Thanks for the review/recap!
BC: PHILLIP is your new bodyguard?
HOORAY! Tom is toast! Katie's going to be a very wealthy widow ;)
Ergo: *big smoooooooooch* When I saw Mayo's "sharp", the first thing that popped into my mind was "Sharp Dressed Man" too. The second things were fangs. The third, The New Olreans Hornets. They're looking pretty SHARP these days. GO HORNETS!!! Have fun and be careful out there!
Sparkle: BaaaBaaaaaaa Baaaa BAA!
J & L: I shall catch up at the SEX PISTOLS tonight!
To ponder today:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Healing depends on listening with the inner ear — stopping the incessant blather, and listening. Fear keeps us chattering — fear that wells up from the past, fear of blurting out what we really fear, fear of future repercussions. It is our very fear of the future that distorts the now that could lead to a different future if we dared to be whole in the present."
Helen Keller
and:
"Some people think only intellect counts: knowing how to solve problems, knowing how to get by, knowing how to identify an advantage and seize it. But the functions of intellect are insufficient without courage, love, friendship, compassion and empathy."
Author: Dean Koontz

I hope you all/we all have a day filled with love and friendship!
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

Goodmorning everybody!

Christmas Blog Reposting Crying Anon,
*hugs*
Come on sweetie. Sometimes bad stuff happens but we work through it and move on. So chin up and we'll get there together, okay?
We passed upon the stairs,
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasnt there
He said I was his friend
Which came as a surprise
I spoke into his eyes -- I thought you died alone
A long long time ago
Hiya Mayo,
I'm with the girls on Sharp Dressed Man.
I completely pictured you with the shades, and an elephant hiding beard ^_^
Guessing wrong though, right?
*snorts*
I really have to work on this snorting.
It is most unlady like.
Although, is it any worse than Lucy Lu's biscuit snaffling burps?
^_~
Hi anon!
Hey SS!
You're like a Damage Control Officer around here at the moment =)
Do DCO's do calendars like the Firemen do?
Yeah, I'm a pain in the butt, but you should know that by now ^_~
PP, thanks for noticing my post. I am pretty sure I'm going to order tickets today. Have a great day or night or whatever time it is where you are:)
Don't fake it baby, lay the real thing on me
Hi FASC,
*smiles*
I got your message from 5'4", thanks ^_^
Heheh, she's our personal postie.
Righto, must go!
Have a great day/ afternoon/ night everyone.
Idiot love will spark the fusion
Inspirations have I none
Just to touch the flaming dove
All I have is my love of love
And love is not loving
*pops back in*
Hi Detroit Anon!
You're welcome. I've enjoyed reading your reviews. ^_^
Ooh, that's great you're planning on getting tickets. The shows have sounded well worth 'squishing in the mosh' for. TJ is proof =)
Have a great day!
'Night all
*pops back out again*
I laughed and shook his hand,
And made my way back home
I searched for form and land
For years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazely stare at all the millions here
We must have died along, a long long time ago
Who knows? not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World

hello david bowie lyric anon!!
bye PP!
nice reading you!
Good morning, guys. :)
Don't forget: It's ANZAC Day in Australia and New Zealand. Send a small thought over there to them.
Have a great Thursday Mayo, SS, and all of BlogBelieve!
See you all later on.
I can't believe what I see here sometimes. Last night K obviously thought she solved Mayo's riddle and got excited. I saw the way Elena bitched at her (it was so obvious) and if it had been bitching at anyone else it would have been world war three. K takes a lot of abuse from regulars, anons and regulars AS anons. I was impartial at first but it gets worse and worse. The things people say about her are disgusting. Imagine if any anon had said those disgusting things about someone else, Elena for instance. Her friends would have torn them a new one.
But somehow it's alright to talk to K lke this!
It's bullying plain and simple and it is allowed to go on. OK, some of you don't like her. She is "sharp". But she doesn't talk to anyone the way she gets talked to by regulars and anons. Regulars say things to and about her that if she said it to them, the blog would go BOOM. Even people who are supposed to be her friends sit back and let it happen, acting nice to the people wo are cruel to her.
Why is this OK?
You don't remember her "why dont you crawl back inside your mom and get yourself aborted" comment or the way she treats newbies?
If she did us all a favor and quit being so mean to us we wouldnt have to be mean to her!
Anon the reason some of her friends don't bother saying something when she gets attacked by family members and anons is because they know that she will get attacked worse if we do.
Yes, and that comment IIRC was to someone who had been bothering her about her dead dog and saying it was because she fed it wrong, and wouldn't leave her alone. And newbies she asked to simply be polite and introduce themselves. People have said and done a lot worse. It's ridiculous. She gets accused of hacking the OPS account and people ask HER to apoligise.
She wasn't being mean last night when Elena and other anons got angry. She wasn't being mean to Carrie.
The OPS told her to burn in hell and accused her WRONGLY of hacking them when they know the truth. Regulars disguised as anons say truly sick things to her. They said things about her parents. They said she shouldn't have been born.
You all think she deserves this. You are a sick lot.
You reap what you sow! Shes never been polite to new people - we've had some friendly anons leave because of her attitude, so now were left with the mean ones!
"Way to use the Lords name in vain, great."
Jesus zombie tapdancing christ, are you really going to complain about that? And who the hell do you think you are "helping?" And for godsakes, how?
November 26, 2007 2:15 AM
(response to a new poster)
BOOOOOORING!
I see it very much too anons. No one said a thing even when a regular wrote a creewpy story about her being a rotting corpse. Obviously for reasons unbenownst to me she is fair game. Case and point, someone asked for a little fairness to her and got told to fuck themselves. I too have observed that Mayo no longer addresses her. I do not think it's because he doesn't like her. I think either he is too much a coward because he knows that she is disliked by big name regulars......or he sees that if he spoke to her, people would be worse to her and he thinks it is a kindness.
Well, that's all I should say. I like the lady.
Hey Mayo, so you are sharp? Good to know, good to know. ;)
What are you up today?
Don't get too excited, but I will be working. We have an audit coming up so I will be working my little heart out trying to get everything in order. Damn, my work life is so fucking fulfilling I can barely stand it!
I hope you have a lovely day my friend. ♥
Blogbelieve Lovelies, have an amazing day. ♥ to all of you.
It's ANZAC Day in Australia and New Zealand.
Sending my thoughts and much respect.
Yeah, it does get boring when the blog is all about her.
Maybe not mean to me in a direct pointed sense, as in she didn't tell me I was ugly and my mama dresses me funny or anything like that. My issues have more to do with what "I" perceive to be a nontolerance of others views on certain topics, and well, the whole poetry thing really pissed me off, because I felt she got to the point where she was just doing it to purposefully be annoying. I mean, there are two sides to every story anon, so don't be thinking I just up and decided to have mean flakes for breakfast one day and go pick on Kapunua.
But it seems to be OK for everyone else to write the poetry. Aside from that most people like it. Mayo never said to stop, so it's not really your business if she writes it or not. You were just making an excuse to be a bitch to her Carrie. You"re as bad as the rest. If you think she was writing poetry to be annoying, what does that make you for harping on it?
Carrie, you come across as very petty and childish about this.
no, not the writing of the poetry, I was talking about the time it was being posted again and again and again and if people said anything about trying to have a conversation we were told to deal with it and scroll around it. See, now I thought that attitude came off as kinda bitchy and rubbed me the wrong way. Also, I'm not harping on it, haven't mentioned it for awhile, I just felt the need to answer when my name got called out. Just trying to explain myself.
That's fine, you're entitled to your opinion.
Hi Mayo,
I still haven't figured out your post yet. I'll keep trying.
I'm not staying today. It's a little scary in here this afternoon.
Hating anons: By the way, I like Kapunua. I'm not kissing her ass. My head is not up her ass. What would I gain from sucking up to her? Nothing. I don't think she'd respect my brown-nosing attempt. And quite frankly, neither would I. She is smart, funny, quick, and interesting. She keeps me on my toes. Do I agree with everything she has ever said or done? Nope. But that's when we converse about it. I try to see her point of view and hope that she can see mine. End of story.
Go ahead and hate whomever you want. It's a free country. But please try and act like adults and keep the bullying and viciousness out of it.
That's it for me today. I'm outta here.
Yet no one seems to have a problem "just scrolling" past pages of horrible words about her. Weird.
Choctaw? Interesting, care to elaborate?
Ohh I am feeeling the love. :D. But no worrries, I am not feeling the hate, it. All god.
Jennicula, thank you. You know I feel the same; I return your feelings of respect and affection. :D
Mmmm today the massive rows of lilacs are blooming. And my bsos picked up ice cream for me. So much. For tryig to eat healthy again.
Super busy today. Hope you are all having a good day. :D
Good to know it's all god. ;)
I take great pleasure from seeing your Crackberry typos, 'cause most of the time, they are hella funnay.
And a big LOL to the dude next door.
Oh just Choctaw, only part, not all the way by any means. ;5
Did I weiete that? Heehee how silly. Heya Splash
Yeah, you totally did. ;)
Heya!
Wtf am I trying to write here????
Well, most of the time your guess is as good as ours.
Sometimes there are lots of numbers involved (See: ;5), and it makes me question my sanity.
And lots of times I have to use context clues, because we all know how important context is, but the unfortunate thing is there is no context or really that many clues! ;)
All's fun and games until there are no vowels.
Havent you said you were inuit and hawaiian kapu?
Omg fainting goats!!
+kay back tp work!
Oh, no PH is Inuit. I spak Haai'an but am not Hawai'ian.
I'm not saying right is wrong
It's up to us to make
The best of all things that come our way
And all the things that came have past
The answer's in the looking glass
There's four and twenty million doors
Down life's endless corridor
Say it loud and sing it proud
Maybe.
But only in moments of clarity.
Bye, Jules! Bye, Anonymouses! Bye, Mayo! Bye, SS!
hi K, mustard,anons and noel gallagher!!
nice words noel!
To the Cure-Posting Anon from a few days ago:
Wanted to leave you some more lyrics. These are some of my favorites. I think you'll recognize a couple of them.
Hope you enjoy them.

"This Twilight Garden"
I lift my lips from kissing you
To kiss the sky
Cloud soft and blue
And slow the sun melts down
Into your golden words for me
I lift my hands from touching you
To touch the wind that whispers through
This twilight garden
Turns into a world
Where dreams are real
No-one will ever take your place
I am lost in you
No-one will ever take your place
So in love with you
I lift my eyes from watching you
To watch the star rise shine onto
Your dreaming face and dreaming smile
You're dreaming worlds for me
I lift my lips from kissing you
And kiss the sky wide deepest blue
And slow the moon swims up
Into your golden words for me
No-one will ever take your place
I am lost in you
No-one will ever take your place
So in love with you
"(I Don’t Know What’s Going) On"
I don't know what's going on
I am so up close to you
I don't know what's going on
I don't know what's going on
I am so confused by you
I don't know what's going on
No don't say anymore
To me at all
To me at all
No don't say more
To me at all
To me at all
I am so in love with you...
with you... with you...
I am so in love with you...
With you... with you...
I don't know what's going on
I am so in deep with you
I don't know what's going on
I don't know what's going on
I am so disturbed by you
No don't say anymore
To me at all
To me at all
No don't say more
To me at all
To me at all
I am so in love with...
You!
"Snow In Summer"
High up on this mountain
The whole world looks so small
And all the rivers
Run away
Slipping in your deep green heart
I drink you as I swim
And I'm sliding
And I'm sliding with you
Slide beneath my skin
Sleek and deep
And salty sweet
You open up in me
Just like the snow in summer
High up on this mountain
The whole world looks so small
And all the rivers
Run away
Slipping in your soft white heart
I drink you as I swim
And I'm falling
And I'm falling with you
Fall beneath my skin
Sleek and deep
And salty sweet
You come
And close in me
Just like the snow in summer
Just like the snow in summer
As it melts
Into the sea
"Pictures of You"
I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are
All I can feel
Remembering
You standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in
Holding you close
How I always held close in your fear
Remembering
You running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow
And screamed at the make-believe
Screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage
To let it all go
Remembering
You fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white
So delicate
Lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
Remembering
You how you used to be
Slow drowned
You were angels
So much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes
But I never see anything
If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart
All my pictures of you
Looking so long at these pictures of you
But I never hold on to your heart
Looking so long for the words to be true
But always just breaking apart
My pictures of you
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
All my pictures of you
"Halo"
I never felt like this with anyone before
You only have to smile and I'm dizzy
You make the world go round
A thousand times an hour
Just touch my head
And send me spinning
I never felt like this with anyone before
You show me colours and I'm crying
You hold my eyes in yours
And open up the world
I can't believe all this
I want to keep this feeling
Deep inside of me
I want you always in my heart
You are everything
I never felt like this with anyone before
You fill my head all full of rainbows
And all the rainbows end
Is every step you take
Just to be with you forever
I want to keep this feeling
Deep inside of me
I want you always in my heart
You are everything
Mayo,
Sorry for the outlandishly long post, but come on, man, it's THE CURE. :)
(I'll be back later tonight. L and I have dinner company, the lady who feeds the furries when we're gone. She's a good friend of ours--but anyway, after she leaves, I'll pop in and talk awhile.)
HI FASC! *hugs and kisses* We miss you!
J
hi there J!!
say hi to L!
mayo!! you about??
it's fucking dead in here!!
hello from kentucky...from the country...from the boonies...from dial-up...
oh gods, help me!.
ok, it's not that bad, even if there is an international quilt festival going on right now.
*facepalm*
but what i said last night about this feeling a like detour is true. there's no music for me tonight, no press of people, no performance to fill me with joy.
and still, that word of yours, mayo.
"sharp"
i don't know for sure what you mean by it, of course. i read all the comments from last night and everyone seemed to being having fun with it, but when elena texted me that you had changed your profile to "sharp", i was immediately alramed.
you see, i have a particular and personal context for that word. i even use it as a tag. it's a scary word, for scary nights.
i could not shake my context and consider any otherlast night, not on that silent nighttime bus, not hanging on to my phone in one hand waiting for subsistance from elena, and feeling the tightening loops around the wrist of my other hand.
like elena posted for me: my imagination is very good at outstripping my common sense. it probably did so last night.
but when i see that word, i can only hear my meaning behind it, even today. i'm so sorry, mayo -- my flailing and dithering is probably quite tedious. i'll do better.
so, get this, though. i told my mom about you. isn't that ridiculous!? she wanted to see this blog where i've met all the people i'm gallivanting around to, so i showed her, and explained yu, and said you were my friend.
*facepalm*
but you are.
i have many friends here, some of them are becoming daylight friends to me, and some of them are still shadowy half-way real internet friends. but still friends.
ugh. kentucky is hot and buggy and far far away from where i want to be. my folks are older than i remember them to be. i'm worn out, and not wanting to sit here, going to buffets, while my friends are out there. while my life is out there.
and i'm tired and whining like a child.
elena, vm -- i'm here, safe if not sound. everything's okay. thank you both for your more-than-generous hospitality.
wow, i'll actually proofread my comment next time, too.
well guys i am out of here!
got brand new second series of heroes starting in a few mins AND House is on also!! hurray for great telly!!
hope you all have a fun evening!!
love to you all!
you too mayo and SS *hugs* to you both!!
hi TJ!!
lovely to read you. take care of yourself ok!!
enjoy the gig tomorrow night!!
are you going tomorrow i am not sure now?? not to worry just take care OK and apologise to your mum if she read me swearing!!
no gig for me tomorrow night, faraway -- and my mom just took a curious glance at the blog -- i don't think she really saw anyone swearing...
>_>
much.
Good evening Mayo.
Good evening ... anyone?
Happy belated St. Georges Day, Shakespeares birthday AND death day!
SS - thank you, you know what for.
TJ, DA, PoP and all those who have posted gig reviews, thanks, it really is appreciated. There is nothing better than hearing it from the mouths of those who attended.
BC - Devildriver!!Circle pit of Doom! The shout went out and people went running to join in. I did not. I am sane. Sort of.
Kass - one finger at a time. That career in art theft is but nine digits away!
Hi FASC and TJ :)
Hiya TJ's Mum :D * waves *
gnothi, my computer-confused mom (who only knows aol email) waves back, kinda.
lol
She is a veritable computer wizard.
So, have you come down from all the excitement yet?
yes, unfortunately, i have. :(
but i have my journal to read, and the music -- and i'll be back on the road soon enough.
and i wrote my chapter of the blog gothic...finally.
sorry for the delay everyone interested...hope you enjoy it!
and i'll be back on the road soon enough.
I know! I can't believe how well this is working out for you, fate is on your side. I'm very envious. It couldn't have fallen into place any better really.
The Mayo Gothic continues
The Direful Secret of Castle Mayo
by
Elena and Toujours
chapter 32
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.”
arabella sat up quickly, defiance overwhelming her weakness.
"he will not!" she placed a hand on the coverlet of the bed to steady herself, but continued, her voice displaying the mayo family steel, the inner force of will that she was only just beginning to taste. "artemus may have been the one to call me, but i came here for you, lord mayo. everything i have done here has been with the single purpose of helping you." she leaned forward a little, gazing up into arthur's eyes with an intensity startling in one so small.
the light in the room, still only a faint pre-dawn gleam, outlined the shape of her face, highlighting the bones under her skin.
a shock of recognition thrummed through mayo.
he had only seen one image of artemus' wife, a tintype made to commemorate their wedding day. he had not seen it for many long years, but he remembered, and the young woman gazing up at him with fierce determination was suddenly so clearly a descendant of the woman he recalled gazing out of the photographic image with fierce triumph.
it was a harsh truth that caused a pang of fear to lance through his heart, and the moment it did, arabella slipped off the bed and stood before him, her face radiating concern.
"lord mayo? what's wrong? what do you fear?"
he looked down at his little cousin, and struggled to quell the fear to which she was responding. her family blood marked her and placed her in the gravest danger. arthur was determined to circumvent that peril.
the mayo family would live on through her, and her pure heart would finally cleanse the line of the darkness he and his brother had brought to it.
he drew himself up, and cloaked himself in the mask of formality he had worn for so long.
"i am fine. it is only the pain of the coming dawn. go now."
"oh! yes!" sudden realization flooded her face, and she ducked her head in an unconscious curtsey. "you must sleep." she went to the wardrobe without hesitation, but paused once there.
arabella looked over her shoulder at lord mayo, the open passageway a taunting sight behind her outstretched arms holding the door wide. "no one will use me to hurt you, my lord. i will not allow it."
the wardrobe door shut behind her with a soft sound, and mayo was alone. imprisoned in the tower room, he returned to the bed and his first cage, the daily oblivion forced upon him by the deadly light of the sun.
It couldn't have fallen into place any better really.
i feel so incredibly grateful for it too. it's such a magical thing that is happening. :)
Hello to anyone here. Just a hit and run post. GS, thank you for posting that link. I read that the Pit was supposed to be in the Guinness World of Records.
I was watching the video and I thought it was funny that one of the fans was holding on to the pillar while head banging.
It looked like a lot of fun. The fun stuff has to happen when I don't hear about it or if I'm not there :/
annnnd, i should probably go visit with the aforementioned computer genius. *grin*
that is what i'm here for, after all.
i'll be back later tongiht.
bye gnothi, bye everyone.
bye mayo.
morning I'm having coffee before heading out to finish packing.
SOOO glad I did as the new chapter is there!!
well done!!
Bye TJ, see you soon.
You're welcome BC, I remembered it happening so I thought you might like to see it. Crazy stuff!!
thanks for the anzac day remembering mustard and anima and everyone who takes a little time to send a thought!

Hi Ergo. GS, you are very lucky ^_^
Later everyone.

I'm an Indian Outlaw
Half Cherokee and Choctaw
"Sharp". One person here got it. Actually two.
I've been away from my pooter. O_o
Let me just say,
Having to learn the ins and outs of copyrights SUCK MAJOR ASS.
Like, for serious.
Hey GS, Mustard, Sdock, Bellatrix!
How is everybody?!
Yeah, but at least when you go to writing all those hit songs and publishing em and stuff you will know alls you need to know.
Right?
Um, lemme see if I can finish it:
Got my orders from my MawMaw
She's one of a kind
???
Please tell me that's incorrect.
"Sharp". One person here got it. Actually two.
And what was it they came up with?
Yeah, but at least when you go to writing all those hit songs and publishing em and stuff you will know alls you need to know.
Right?
That's true.
But, it's freakin' torture in the meantime.
And did I mention that it sucked ass?
Yup! ;)
Anyhoo, how are we doing today?!
"Sharp". One person here got it. Actually two.
I skimmed it. Please enlighten a poor torchless soul. What are you talking about?
Yeah, Mustard, something like that
You can find me in my wigwam

Hi Star. How are you enjoying your break?
Sdock, you are so mean to her.
Bless her, it wasn't her fault the still-closed-eyed kitty trailed off.
;)
ahaha, SS Phantom Kitty!
I really just laughed out loud!
MEOW MEOW!
And the winners are.......
Well it ain't me, that's for sure.
Hiya by the way.
Star!
Hello! I almost 'scaped my vision!
Very well, GS.
I am down the shore with my mother in law, hanging out and cleaning the shore house. it was absolutely beautiful here today!
Or me, GS!
So...
Berth.
Should I buy it?
Poor little SS Phantom Kitty!! Just wandering around all lost and helpless and hungry.
Smoke is easily distracted. She caught a glimpse of herself in her car window and she was mesmerized. Her reflection always gets her. Well, that and sparkly things, and fire, and....
LEATHERMOUTH!!!
SS, thank you so much for the gift! It's so thoughtful and kind of you. It means the world to me, really, to know you think of us, read our words and not only do you listen to what we say, but you hear us as well. You have shown us time and time again that it's all about the love. I treasure your friendship as do many of the wonderful people here. I wish you could see the smile you have put on my face.
Thank you will never be enough for all you do.
The chocolate hobnobs are on me!
"Has anyone seen my Mommy?
She lost me."
O_o
...
XD!!!
So, who likes David Bowie?
Hey everyone
Just got home and trying to catch up....
Anything exciting happen today?
Hello star and Lucy and anyone else!
Is it wrong that I have been walking around singing "Eye of the Tiger" all day long?
Sounds idyllic Star, nothing like the coastal breezes to clear your mind :) A day well spent in manual labour, gives a great sense of achievement.
RW - :) Medals are too bulky anyway, they do nothing for your posture.Re: Berth - do you like The Used is the real question.
I thought this was timely, given the topic of forgiveness & empathy in here yesterday evening:
Scorpio - this week's horoscope
"Opinion is really the lowest form of human knowledge," says educator Bill Bullard. "It requires no accountability, no understanding. The highest form of knowledge . . . is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another’s world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding." In that spirit, Scorpio, I encourage you to renounce three of your opinions, preferably those that are least-well-informed and not rooted in first-hand experience. I also challenge you to carry out a week-long experiment based on the following hypothesis: Expanding your capacity for empathy will make you smarter.
Re: Berth - do you like The Used is the real question.
YES!! :)
By the way, they have a new album out now, yes?
*is hoping for a tour*
Bella,
Smoke found a little bitty kitty yesterday and put it in a box on her front porch. She went to the store to get it some milk and when she came back it was gone.*
Did I mention it didnt even have its eyes open yet?
*SS Phantom Kitty's Real Kitty Mom rescued SS Phantom Kitty from Smoke
Whoa, they released another after Lies For The Liars? Not the B-Sides, but another actual album?
And I say yes to the tour!
Cat mom must have come back for the kitty.
*is relieved*
Whoa, they released another after Lies For The Liars? Not the B-Sides, but another actual album?
And I say yes to the tour!
I thought they had. Am i wrong?
They're playing some shows in the U.S. now, but no dates up in Canada yet :(
Shameful, Sdock.
Shameful.
Bella - yes. I don't own any of his work but I appreciate his music. Why do you ask?
The chocolate hobnobs are on me!
I so read this in the Milky Bar Kid's voice!
Solly - you can sing anything you want.
Mayo,
What ya doin? Can I see?
Oh,I see...
Thanks Sdock! :)
Oh, I don't know, RW! I thought they might have had and I missed it. They just recently released Shallow Believer on iTunes, but I don't know if they've done another record release. I can look really quick though! :)
I just had a look at their site, Mustard. It may just be a CD of remixes/extended mixes.
Bugger.
Shameful is trying to rip SS Phantom Kitty away from it's real Mommy.
Nothing in particular,gnothi. Just out of curiosity. ;)

There's for sure a seat waiting for you on the bus ride to hell.
Right behind me and MissT!
So... is Berth like LOTMS, but with The Used?
Whoa, they released another after Lies For The Liars? Not the B-Sides, but another actual album?
Really? I thought it was just B-sides as well!
( is shocked, yet excited )
I am riding shotgun with the devil, Mustard. He even lets me drive.
My mistake, GS. I think it's just a compilation of B-sides.
I was so hoping for a tour this summer. I am a little depressed, as there are (so far anyway) no bands that I want to see planning any Canadian stops this summer :/
Have you ever seen The Used live, GS?
could I be?
Go for it, Solly!!
Ooo, Sdock.
Does he let you play with his pitchfork, too? Seems you guys are tight.
You'll put in a good word for me, won't you? ;)
Nothing in particular,gnothi. Just out of curiosity.
Oh cool. I was going to say don't ask me any questions because I am clueless with regards to DB :)
So... is Berth like LOTMS, but with The Used?
I haven't got it RW, but I believe it's along similar veins. I've got The Taste of Chaos on DVD and that has some nice ' behind the scenes sections.
cocksucker!
DAMNIT!!! DAMNIT IT TO HELL!!
