Relative Aperture
A smashed glass cracked
in my last careless act
catching sight off guard.
Points sparkle a dappled dance
across the hardwood floor
spreading as the day grows
and peaking at midday
then rising full in the sky
for the time I hide away.
Until evening’s effulgence
slips through severed slats
catching sight by chance
announcing a worthy time
while bringing rust to rhyme.
From lyric baring branches
pick the last pack of matches
and set alight this balefire
for grieving my darkest desire.
(As we depart, we arrive.)
p.s. thoughtfully holding the line.

Ha! * pokes tongue out at RW *
Careful, anon, I am armed with a toe!*
*Can one be armed with a toe?
I was staring through a telescope at night
At a large light in the sky
Its spinning lights reminded me of you
A star spinning in orbit
Lighting up the sky
Or maybe it was not a star at all
I was standing by the Hudson River's edge at night
Looking out across the Jersey shore
At a neon light spelling out some cola's name
And I thought your name should be dancing
Beamed from satellites
Larger than any billboard in Times Square
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
I'm the one who loves you in each and every way
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
NYC lovers
Tell it to your heart
(Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
Tell it to your heart)
(Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
Tell it to your heart)
I'm on the roof, it's 5 a.m.
I guess I couldn't sleep
And I see this spinning light that I saw last week
Maybe I should wake you up
But by then it might be gone
You never know what you see when if you look up in the sky
I ran outside down a darkened street
Listening to my boot heels click
My leather jacket squeaked I needed a cigarette
When I turned the corner
My spinning light was in the street
They were filming a commercial on TV
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
We're no teenage movie that ends in tragedy
Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid
NYC Lovers
Goodnight and sweet dreams fimmy, RW. Hi J *hugs*
I spoke to Elena this morning as she and Mr Elena were coming back from the casino, but not since then. I thought I saw her on here earlier...?
L is having the mother of all arthritis attacks today, and my sinuses are having a field day, but otherwise we're ok. And yourself, my dear crazy Aussie chef-lady? ;)
J
Anon beat you RW, but that's okay *extra squeeze* :)
I ma good thanks J give my love to L hope she feels better soon.
congrats anon, RW so if you're armed with a toe are you "Packing Feet"?
Anon, Lou Reed, very nice. He's always written such clever lyrics. Thank you for posting them.
Hey BC! *hugs* How are you, honey?
J
* pinches BC's ass *
Triston, is that you? You naughty dead thing! (If it IS you.)
J
Triston is too busy hunting donuts :)
a saucy anon?
watch out BC someone might be making siobhan and triston jealous!
Who just pinched my ass? Is that you triston? ;) Hi j, I'm good, how are you? *waves to L*
That's the second time I had my ass pinched. Ha ha ergo, it looks like it ^_^
Lol anon 10:32
Well, Saucy Minx Anon, I'm pretty sure he knows where to find the donuts!
L is waving back, BC! She didn't see who pinched your ass, though. Sorry.
J
Guys, I'm off to dream land.
I hope you all have a wonderful night, and I'll see you all tomorrow sometime!
Goodnight mustard.
Mayo,
What's up? Are you looking at the sky? Is it nighttime? Dark and full of stars? Twilight? Are you staring at a ceiling counting the tiles or those popcorn things? Watching a ceiling fan spin round and round? Are you trying to move objects with your mind? You know....when I was little...I liked to pretend that I could control the wind. That was my superpower...I would sit outside and focus really hard and try to make the wind blow. The leaves would start to rustle...my hair would start to blow..and for a moment..I believed.
Sometimes...I still do.
A lot of talk in here the last couple of nights about love...true love, soul mates...etc. It sure has got me to thinking about shit. As if I need help in that department...that's the one fucking thing that I do without failure. Think, think, think....not so good on the reacting part, but I got that thinking shit down. So...I'm beginning to think he is not the one...ya know? But of course...what if I'm wrong...or what if I have already missed the one...maybe, I haven't met the one yet....or maybe like Jules says...there are lots of "ones." I do believe in love Mayo. It never dies...it's the most powerful force on earth. I guess I'm pretty good at loving. Well, not myself, but everyone else.
So considering love...I guess maybe I do have superpowers afterall....
Funny.
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. Now, if I could just be invisible.
For somebody who fears attention as much as you say, you sure do beg for it alot lately. And you never did until you took up with the queen of attention, Kap. You ALL use to be nice people until Mayo started giving you attention and you took up with her. Now Fim Mustard and Sdock along with Kap obviously are the worst for doing this CONSTANTLY. Now the whole thing is PAY ATTENTION TO ME MAYO!!! LOOK I REALLY DON"T WANT ATTENTION!!! BUT GIVE ME ATTENTION ANYWAY!!!! You use to be nice. Down to earth. She made you be so vocal. Sad.
Night Mustard, night SDock, sleep easy.
J
goodnight Mustard sweet dreams
and if someone compliments you smile and say thank you, because they probably mean it,you're a really nice person and if they don't too bad, take it anyway, it'll piss em off!
Well said, Anon.
goodnight sdock sweet dreams
Ass pinching anon was probably lurking when I told triston the other night that I felt that I was being molested at PR last year ^_^
Personally I wouldn't mind some more Lou Reed lyrics.
J
Thank you it makes me sad. Mad and sad. They use to be really nice and down to earth. Now a bunch of attention seekers.
Dreaming of Gerard again BC?
Goodnight sd10
...Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
Speaking of being molested, L and I are gonna be in the pit at the Columbus OH show...first time for pit-ness...and I'm only 5 feet tall...and sort of claustrophobic...
FUN!
At least the Memphis show is outside.
J
I have finally caught up.
Hello everyone who is here and a goodnight to those who have left with the sandman.
Yes Kapu that was a bad joke. but that anon made it so easy i couldn't help myself.

Hey babe, you got a wild side I can walk on? ;)
J
Anon, didn't I said earlier that that anon was not me? That person is not me.
Are you being saucy J? ;)
Hi Martha! *hugs* How you been?
J
Oh BC, when am I not. :D heeheehee
J
Hi mj
you know I really hate the companies that print invoices on those continuous feed sheets with the rippy off side bits with the holes but never rip them of so to file them I have to rip all the rippy side hole bits off and then have a pile of ripped off rippy off hole pieces!!!
GAHHHHHHHHHH!
Ha ha. That's right ^_^
well, if i am an attention seeker, then shit on a brick and call it rick, i dont give two toss's what you think.
if it makes you mad and sad, then seriously look into your own life. you have just screamed for attention by making that comment.
Evening all!
How is everyone?
Hello J And Bc. People just seem to keep calling me away from my computer tonight.
HI MJ
HI Katherine!
hey fim, shit on a brick and call it rick? hahaha classic!
Poor ergo *hugs*
Heya KD! *waves like a crazy person* Oh, and in response to your comment on our blog: L says "Sorry, I didn't think it would hurt!"
Ergo, it's time to step away from the rippy-off thingies. Step away, slowly...
J
Fim, did you watch Greek? The Gossip Girls aren't new yet.
Hello Kd
Hi katherine *waves*
hello ergo.
carrie, yes i did watch it. i thought gg was new, it must be sometime this month then
Hi carrie
Yep, April 21. And I still want Cappy away from what's her face, and I totally called that boy being a youngster.
J * runs over and gives a big hug *
Tell L, ( and give her a big hug for me ) I didn't think a deceased entity would have any use for such information :D
Hello ep and carrie
i didnt, i was shocked. but the scene made me laugh about the cat sucking the man's nipples
Hey Ergo, MJ, FS & BC! Anyone I missed.
And while we're on the subject of "saucy", is anybody else diggin' on Frank's new look? I would guess he's gained about 30 pounds or so.
Last year he was so thin, but now his chest and shoulders are really broad, his neck is bigger even, and oh my, the thighs...*pauses for deep breath*
Of course I love his hair longer, too.
Sorry, I had to have a sweaty fangirl moment there. Carry on.
J
In regards to 10:53's comment, I see a group of people opening up and feeling more comfortable both with Mayo and with each other. Relationships of all kinds evolve and the people surrounding you naturally have some affect on your behavior. Why this would make someone mad or sad is what I do not understand.
Hey BC, and ops, and Kd, and mj. I have such a horrible time saying hi to everyone, I usually just show up and start talking. :)
*breathes heavily*
rippy....off...hole....thingys...
Yeah, Fim, that was sort of disturbing, and I forgot to say hi to ergo! See, that's why I don't say hi, I always forget someone!! Dang.
Hi carrie
anon at 11:15 well said
Or, I'm sorry, I forgot to call her by her new name, rippy off hole things slayer.
carrie you see my comment about the heart transplant from earlier?
Hey Carrie, hey Fim, I thought you went to bed youngster!
Ergo, here, breathe into this brown bag...
Anon, there's always someone out there who finds us maddening, saddening, frightening, amusing, entertaining, disgusting, pathetic, old, used-up, related to farm animals, etc. Ain't no big thang anymore. *shrugs*
J
hmmm...hi Carrie...I always think of the movie for some reason.
So I am starting to think Travis Barker is a great guy.
I was watching TMZ and Brandon Davis. He is the male Paris Hilton he also called Lindsay Lohan a fire crotch.
Called a bunch of paparazzi f-gs and ni--ers. Most of the famous people who TMZ asked about it thought it was great or no big deal because he said it to the paparazzi. But Travis who was in Blink 182 said that where he comes from that is not okay.
Brandon Davis than said he said that because the paparazzi said shit about his mother and that is why he said it.
I hope that GW hangs out with Travis when he goes to LA. Maybe it will bring back the old him.
thank you 11.15
J, i have an exam in the morning so i went to study one last time before i went to bed. i checked in here to catch up so i aint got a mountain to do in the morning so here i am but i am not staying for long.
Thank you anon 11:15. Someone needs to calm J down, but frank indeed looks sexy ^_^
MJ how did your night go?
Yes, Ergo, I did, I was so freaked when I saw that story in my paper after reading the convo yesterday, and that story was totally funny. And KD, trust me, I got no psychic powers, although I can go psycho on occasion.
KD it went well thank you
*shudders*
*kicks rippy off hole strip things aside*
*gets smoothie....
.....and paper bag*
Fimmy, good luck on your exam tomorrow!
That's great MJ. What's this about LA?
Mj, from your comment, it sounds like Travis is a great guy. There's so many fake people in L.A. And its disgusting.
What I see is a bunch of people who use to be nice get their attitudes changed by a piece of trash with a big mouth.
Oh man!! I just got like a millisecond of Berty goodness watching LA Ink. They were at the MusInk concert Kat did.
KD rumor has it that GW is moving to LA. apparently he said this at a concert.
MJ, seriously?
Anon, dude, seriously, give it up, understand the frustration, for real, but it's not going to change anything, like ever. I would refrain from calling people trash, but that's just me.
"Calm J down"?
"Calm J down."
Hmph.
BC, it's all I have. That, and my Tab...
I KID, I KID!
J
Blogger keeps kicking me out :/
Stupid bastard
KD when I see a picture of him there I will believe it. but someone said he said that at bamboozled
I agree so much that I predict within.... a MONTH, MIB will be posting half naked offensive pictures of herself on her blog too ALA Kapu. And if you want to talk about hypocricy how abotu Kap talkign shit about Lyn Z being ugly or trashy and then posting those pictures of herself!!
*feeling calmer now*
*twitch*
katherine GW said he'd moved there
*gigglesnorts at J's comment*
Carrie you said your peace now I am saying mine, we all have a right to, not just you.
Oh well MJ, if he does, I'm sure he'll paint the town black! :)
Anon, okay Ha! I can guarantee you that you're wrong about Mustard! I've had indepth convos with her and still don't know where she lives, so yeah, I wouldn't be saving space on the wall for her half nakey pics.
Might I add BADLY PHOTOSHOPPED pictures of herself.
what i see is people making friends. what i see is that everybody is not the same and they dont have to like everyone else. what i see is a place that is trying to hold friendly intellegent discussions along with some friendly banter that makes people laugh only to be spoilt by someone who is trying to gain attention by bullying and verbally abusing others.
what i see is someone who lacks attention themselves who needs to find their own entertainment by hurting others with their words.
well, your words do not hurt the people that you aim them at.
think about what you do and why you do it. if you have a problem, email or go to their blogs. we all know many people have done the blog thing, take a look. that is bullying and that is aweful and that is also eligable to be reported because it is bullying and there have been threats.
hey, if i am a attention seeker for my comments then i am fucking proud. hey if i am a 'porchie' cos i say hello and talk to friends over at dm then i stand up and shout, i am fucking proud.
Yes, true, I did say my piece, granted, but I did do it under my own name.
What I see Fimble.... is an attention getter trying too hard to get noticed and fit in with the 'cool kids'.
anon half naked and offensive? so piss off and don't look!
She was in costume you dick!
Anons, what's all the bitching about?
These girls are not hurting you! CUT IT OUT!
Half naked? Fuck off, she is in a dancing outfit, please got over it! Don't look if it bothers you. Also I distinctly remember Kapunua defending Lyn Z from people who called her ugly. I think all she said was that she has not talent and she hates her band.
I also don't see the photoshopping but whatever.
Anon at 11:38 you took the words out of my mouth
We have had WAY too much hate in here for WAY too long. Believe me, I know. So can you please, K-Dissing Anon, just LAY OFF? You're tired of hearing her? Have you considered that we might be tired of hearing you?
Unless you have something purposeful to say, please go home.
J
Martha I just get tired of it. I have lurked here for a long time and I find most everyone aside from the shitty anons charming. And it downright puzzles me when the girls are called ugly.
Oh I see what you mean though about the photoshopping anon, if you mean the curtain that Kapunua already said she photoshopped. I don't see how any other photoshopping is possible! You can't photoshop a picture to make you look like you can bend that way, lol. by the way I tried that shit and almost broke my back.
AAAAAAAAAAAGH!
I missed one!
*shreds stupid little side of sheet hole bearing asshole rippy thing from hell!!!!*
OPS she talks bullshit and you should know that!! Here is someone who, talks about nothign but how she hates her looks and then go's and posts offensive pictures for all to see. LIAR.
hey, if i am an attention getter, then tell me who i get the attention off. hey, change that, i dont want your in put or your opinions. you can say what the fuck you like, you can protest til your blue in the face, its not going to get you anywhere. all it will do is make you look like a little girl, a bully in fact.
i am going to bed now, look i can just click you off. and when i return in the morning, i bet i will see you here because you are a bully who has nothing better to do then to attack people.
look at yourself before you judge others, maybe you can see the beauty within and pick out nice words. if you have a problem with anyone, how about just not letting your hating words out.
its not big, and its not clever.
goodnight, and i really do hope you have a nice sleep.
UGH and now liking MY favorite band MUSE. Get the fuck away from Muse, Kap!
11:45, you tried the Lyn Z back bend? ...hmmm
But Fimble Star every time you open your mouth you prove yourself to be a wanna-be.
I listened to Muse while I was on my walk today, it was quite energizing.
No KD I tried to do what Kapu was doing.... yes I know K can do the backbend too but what she was doing in that pic of hers with her legs and holy shit, I am not that flexible and for the record, I am 23 and in good shape too!!
Hater anon shut up. Maybe you are truly merely jealous after all.
But I must also admit, I probably would never have bought the cd if it wasn't for this blog.
Anon at 11:45 yeah this shit is getting old.
As far as the ugly thing goes when you can't use your brain to come up with an intelligent come back. Name calling is what you resort to.
Martha is it truely name calling if it is the truth. Ask yourself that. It is just my opinion. The pictures are offensive.
Goodnight Fim, good luck on your exam tomorrow.
J
you are so silly...you can't help yourself :)
Hmm, blogger snacked my comment, that hasn't happened in awhile. Anon, how are the pictures offensive? I'm just trying to figure out your reasoning.
anon so don't look! there are so many photos on the internet I'm sure you can find something else to look at.
other anon @ 11:50 just keep some ice/heat packs handy !
Goodnight Fimmy. Good luck on the exam.
I have not seen the pictures. I was talking about calling her ugly.
goodnight fim - good luck
Goodnight FS
Hello
Oh yeah KU just won the championship!!!!
I swear I can hear Lawrence Kansas from my house!
So how is everyone?
Hi Elena!!
I'm good thanks, congrats to KU
did you enjoy the comic convention?
Hey Elena! *hugs* How are ya, sweetie? Didn't hear from you today, did you get home alright?
J
Hi Elena! That's cool about KU, at least I will be able to tell my hubby who won in the morning. We're MSU fans, so we were out early on. :)
Well Good evening guys!
Mayonaise; wow. What a day! What a great fucking day to start the week. School sucks, I hate it. I'm dropping a class. Drama, who really needs that class anyways? =] Work was soo.. uggh. I got in a little fight with my co-worker and supervisor. Whatever, it's fine now. =] Just a little tip for you guys; don't give your supervisor the silent treatment, especially if you and her are like best friends. It makes things worse.
Hello Elena
Nite FS! HI PH!
Awh damn! I just missed Fimble?
GOODNIGHT SWEETIE! I MISS YOU! GOOD LUCK ON YOUR EXAM!!!
(tries to yell loud enough for FS to hear =])
Aw, man, people are showing up and I need to drag my sorry ass to bed! Hi and bye ph. And goodnight everyone!
Elena, almost didn't see you there!
Hey KD! =]
<3
Hey KD! =]
<3
Hello Ph i am sad to hear you are dropping drama.
Goodnight Carrie!
*hug*
Hey PH, never work with your best friend. At least not until you're, like, 30. *hugs*
J
Hi grasshopper *hugs* Goodnight Carrie, sweet dreams.
Hi Elena, congrats!
Ergo the comic convention was so much fun. Wow the people you see there. Lots of costumes!
Yes J I did get home okay. Did you actually call him Mr Elena? LOL
Hey Carrie, Paperheart and Martha
Hey Martha! *hug*
It's a class that used to be my favorite, but things have changed, I've changed, and it's not a class that I can bear and enjoy anymore. I'm actually a little upset by my decision, and I'm almost certain that one day I will regret it.
Hello KD and BC
Night Carrie
Hey Elena, Bc, and J! *hug*
Well, I never knew this supervisor until I started working at A&W, and she's only 2 years older than me (17/18) and we've become really really good friends. But things are fine now. =]
goodnight Carrie! sweet dreams
hello PH *HUG* one of those days huh? Shame you have to drop the class but is the workload too much with it?
Hope your work sorts out too
Just flew over what happened today. Has anyone heard from TJ?
PH why don't you like the class anymore.
Ergo, partially.
Elena, what happened today? I never really bother to read back on comments.. especially when there's over a couple hundred..
*blushes*
Is that bad of me?
MJ, I think it's because I can't take part in the school production this year, because I have a class at lunch, and because I'm working lots. Also, nothing that we are doing is interesting. We do the same old thing over and over again.
Yes, Elena. Yes, I did. I thought it was better than calling him something else, like, oh, I don't know, Lord Mayo. :D L was gonna write a goodnight to Mayo for you last night, but decided not to at the last minute. She did say hi to him for you, though.
NIGHT CARRIE! Sorry to yell, but you're so far down the hall, I thought you might not hear me.
J
elena she called in last night and said it was great at the barrier for MCR and had a girl elbow her a bit, and she's off to Portland today, she'll put her LJ account up when she can
Goodnight CArrie. ph I guess than you should drop it.
PH sometimes it gets that way, is there an amateuer group in town near you? That's fun to get involved in, even if you can't go all the time
I'm not really sure Ergo.
I feel like I'm letting myself down in a way, because it was once my dream to take it to the next level.. I guess things change.
It's called a guitar ph
J
Very funny. I'm so not gonna commit on that.
MJ, lol. I guess you could say that. =]
Ah come on, Elena. Comment! I DARE YOU. DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU, even. :P
J
oooh a double dog dare!!!!!
Elena, are you going to take up the challenge?
Well I must be off to bed. Goodnight
Well;
I'm off for the night.
Mayonaise; SS; and all of BlogBelieve, PACTUM SERVA.
=]
<3
*watches elena's mind ticking over*
At this moment, I want nothing more
Than to run away with you, my love
No one but us, with nothing but us,
The clothes on our backs,
And our love for each other.
I want to go somewhere where no one knows who we are,
Where we come from, why we are there.
I do not want to spare a thought for
Family or friends or money or jobs or appointments or responsibilities.
I want to hide away with you
Forever
And be nobody, no one
Except
Your angel
Safe in your arms
Forever
My love, I saw your words today. Thank you. They were exquisite. Have you yet chosen a name for yourself? Sometimes it is very difficult to hear you amongst all the anonymous voices.
Goodnight, my friends. I cannot linger this evening. Perhaps the next time. Until then, rest well.
Goodnight MJ! Sweet dreams.
I'm off too! Goodnight all :)
goodnight MJ
goodnight PH
sweet dreams to you both
Night Martha
Ha, I don't have to cause no one triple dog dared me!!!!!!!
Angel, sweet dreams.
<3
You too Martha and Katherine!!
xoxoxoxo

Goodnight PH and Martha! *hugs* L says goodnight and *hugs* too!
Oh Elena...I'm a-waitin'...

Goodnight PH, Katherine, MJ, sweet dreams guys.
Hello Angel, beautiful poem. Are you well?
Goodnight Angel, sweet dreams.
Night KD, stay away from dead things bearing donuts! *hugs*
Angel, your poem is so sad tonight. *hugs* Are you missing your love? Hope to catch you next time.
J
angel...just this once, can I hold you tightly and feel your heart beat with mine.
I can see a solitary star winking at me, and I really feel you tonight.
anon are you angels anon? If so you're a lucky guy, she's quite lovely
Aww :)
My love, my heart--not just once, but always. Are you sad tonight?
Oh how sweet!
J
I will say this again: Awww !
BC, I almost feel like a voyeur. Maybe we should, uh, leave?
J
Sounds good J. I'm lurking on some sites anyways.
My love, I am here when you are ready.
angel I'm so glad your love is here with you!
Ergoproxy, the one thing I would wish for more would be to hold him here, in my arms.
oh angel I can imagine, I hate not having mine to hold, and you seem parted for so long.
Will you be close any time soon?
Soon, Ergoproxy.
Hello Angel. How are you?
ooh I just downloaded firefox
Ergo, did it work?
Hello Bleeding Chaos. I am quite fatigued tonight, and had intended to retire early. Before I went to bed, however, I saw the comment that was addressed to me, and had to return.
It appears to be it looks different to IE
and now I have a spell check :)
I'm off for a bit, take care everyone
angel best wishes, and to angels anon.
back later
Ergo, awesome :)
Poor Angel. Try to get plenty of rest when you can.
Take care Ergo.
Where is Wendy?
Thank you, Bleeding Chaos. You are a good friend.
Goodnight Ergoproxy, and thank you too. I have met so many kind people here.
You're welcome Angel:)
You are a kind and good friend as well.
Hello Mayo, SS, BC, ANGEL, Ergo, OP J, anons!!!
How are you all on this beautiful night (or day)?
I hope everyone is well!
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

I'm here now, BC. My 'harassment' duty has been fulfilled for tonight!
That alpha male starts to worry if I don't 'harrass' him at least once a week ;)
Hiya sugarplum! Aww so your taking care of your nephew again?
How are you lov? *runs and smothers with tremendous kisses*
And oh, I love you too! I saw your message earlier :)

*big hug* for Angel, who is missing her love.....
Sorry I missed you Angel! I hope you have a wonderful rest.
:)
For the first time in a while, I had an anon on my blog, who I was just talking to, not to mention another one pinched my ass earlier.
It has been an odd night. I wonder if there's a full moon tonight.
Hi, sweetcheeks! No, not the nephew ;)
Although, I do love 'playing' with this particular alpha male!
He's so much fun and we have so much fun annoying each other, lol!
me?
Ha ha!
