Investment.

Upon arrival, there isn’t nearly enough air to fill my lungs, so in desperation, I scream. Pulling in all that I can because suddenly I feel empty. The comfortable heavy warmth in my chest has been displaced by vacuum. I have no control over where I am. My arms and legs, unbound, find freedom a challenge. And, although I feel hands pulling and fingers pressing, I have no idea why. It is cold. So, I reach for warmth and I find it in purity. I know where I came from; I did not want to leave and with grief comes depth and in the deep I find surrender. It was warm and I swam in it before I knew you. I would go back, but that was before I saw your eyes, before I was pulled into this world and onto your lap a sloppy mess. I need you and without you I am sure I would not thrive.







p.s. i can only imagine.

DAMNIT ALL TO HELL!!! I've only ever made it to second, ever ergo! Couldn't you have shown some compassion *pleading Tigger eyes* *with drops of tears trembling* *lips move, as Tiggers head falls*

Awwwwww...... *shyly shuffles feet*

miranth said...

Anyway I really only came to post my long response to the day...

Hope you guys are doing well?

And entropy - I hope you caught up on LOST, cause its gonna be good!

oh no!

she's using "crying-tigger fu" on me!!!!


I'm good miranth, so you're ok apart from tired?

miranth said...

Hi All, Getting ready for hospital duty with my niece, so I can't stay...

====================================

Just wanted to respond to some things:

Harassment is very broadly defined, and not restricted to work and school environments. And I did post the wiki info anon, as I was very, very busy.

Stalking, harassing, and the like, including on the internet, are illegal.

And while many states are working out the details of how to define and prosecute these crimes, I believe it is possible to see justice done. And I really hope something is done about this as well because someone who is at least a regular lurker is responsible, and that sucks!

Re: mayo's blog - I believe he will maintain it as long as some derive some benefit from it. Or at least, that's what I believe him to have implied in the past, if that's vague enough for you :)

And also, anon, how do you know Mayo and/or SS aren't helping anyone? Are you omniscient? 8)

Re: April 24th - I believe Mayo created the post on his blog that day, and wasn't sure if he should post it, as he alludes in his opening. I almost wish he hadn't, as I think I know what it meant, and can't respond in any meaningful way. :(

Re: G W's marriage, I really don't care, (sacrilege I know ;) and this is serendipitous as I feel it's none of my business! Yay for me! :D - But others here have the right to express their opinions on the subject, particularly as it is mentioned at every concert, though again, he has the right to mention it then too - fair's fair!!!

I wonder what SS's April 24th update refers to? (excuse my grammar :) Makes me want to sing...

=========================

Amy - I am just glad you enjoyed your birthday! We need to make those T-shits :D

Wendy - A hurricane! I never had one before! :( Maybe next time...

=========================

Mayo - not that it’s your responsibility, but if there's anything you can do to get this situation resolved, I applaud it. And in any case, I appreciate your kindness here, even if no one else knows what I am talking about. :D

miranth said...

Yes I am good ergo. I am tired - busy with family.

We will have more tests run for my niece tomorrow and hopefully we'll get the results soon!!!

It always feels like it takes forever!

I am glad you are well!

Who was it a few weeks ago who said that they knew Mayo and that he was going to kill himself and then when he posted again they never came back? Its stupid to pretend you know Mayo or know his identity. If you did you would email him. But some people want to stir up shit about the Lovelies by pretending to know him or know even who he is. Or that they have a secret conversation with him. If you have been here from the beginning you would know that secret conversations only stir up shit.

Look, I'm not trying to start trouble, really, I'm not. I'm only trying to make you all understand that when it comes to the law, what the anons did to Kapunua does not appear to have involved any lawbreaking or cyber-stalking. She was the one who made all of her info readily available in a public forum.

Also, she was the one who posted unproven accusations about clients who frequented her workplace. She even posted a link to their website, revealing their identity in a public forum. If anyone here has come close to breaking any laws regarding internet privacy, defamation of character, etc., it was Kapunua, and I firmly believe that her employer had no alternative but to let her go, lest he risk legal action against himself and possibly Kapunua.

I am not condoning the actions of the vindictive anons who got her into trouble. I think they are jerks who'll get what's coming to them - Karma and all that. But what they did wasn't illegal. Creepy, mean, indefensible, yes. Illegal, no.

I would just like to suggest that the rest of you keep your personal information private unless it's on a friends-locked blog or journal. Only let the people you know and trust have access to it.

Reminder



In the United States

The current US Federal Anti-Cyber-Stalking law is found at 47 USC sec. 223.

The first U.S. cyberstalking law went into effect in 1999 in California. Other states include prohibition against cyberstalking in their harassment or stalking legislation. In Florida, HB 479 was introduced in 2003 to ban cyberstalking. This was signed into law on October 2003. [13]

Some states in the U.S. have begun to address the issue of cyberstalking:

* Alabama, Arizona, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, New Hampshire, and New York have included prohibitions against harassing electronic, computer or e-mail communications in their harassment legislation.
* Alaska, Florida, Oklahoma, Wyoming, and California, have incorporated electronically communicated statements as conduct constituting stalking in their anti-stalking laws.
* Texas enacted the Stalking by Electronic Communications Act, 2001.
* A few states have both stalking and harassment statutes that criminalize threatening and unwanted electronic communications.
* Other states have laws other than harassment or anti-stalking statutes that prohibit misuse of computer communications and e-mail, while others have passed laws containing broad language that can be interpreted to include cyberstalking behaviors

Cyberstalking has also been addressed in recent U.S. federal law. For example, the Violence Against Women Act, passed in 2000, made cyberstalking a part of the federal interstate stalking statute. Still, there remains a lack of legislation at the federal level to specifically address cyberstalking, leaving the majority of legislative prohibitions against cyberstalking at the state level.[7]

Most stalking laws require that the perpetrator make a credible threat of violence against the victim; others include threats against the victim's immediate family; and still others require the alleged stalker's course of conduct constitute an implied threat. While some conduct involving annoying or menacing behavior might fall short of illegal stalking, such behavior may be a prelude to stalking and violence and should be treated seriously.[14]

Online identity stealth blurs the line on infringement of the rights of would-be victims to identify their perpetrators. There is a debate on how Internet use can be traced without infringing on protected civil liberties.
Stalking is a legal term for a pattern of offensive behavior involving repeated harassment or other forms of invasion of a person’s privacy in a manner that causes fear to its target.

Statutes vary between jurisdiction but may include such acts as:

repeated physical following
unwanted contact (by letter or other means of communication)
observing a person’s actions closely for an extended period of time
contacting family members, friends, or associates inappropriately

Stalking can also include seeking and obtaining the person’s personal information in order to contact them; e.g. looking for their details on computers, electoral rolls, personal files and other material with the person’s personal details without their consent. Personal details include their date of birth, marital status, home address, email address, telephone number (landline and mobile), where they work, or which school, college or university they go to; and personal information on their family and friends and any other sensitive and confidential information (e.g. medical conditions and disabilities etc.)

Harassment
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Harassment refers to a wide spectrum of offensive behavior. When the term is used in a legal sense it refers to behaviors that are found threatening or disturbing, and beyond those that are sanctioned by society.

Cyberstalking
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cyberstalking is the use of the Internet or other electronic means to stalk someone.

It has been defined as the use of information and communications technology, particularly the Internet, by an individual or group of individuals, to harass another individual, group of individuals, or organization. The behavior includes false accusations, monitoring, the transmission of threats, identity theft, damage to data or equipment, the solicitation of minors for sexual purposes, and any form of aggression. The harassment must be such that a reasonable person, in possession of the same information, would regard it as sufficient to cause another reasonable person distress.

Definitions
Stalking is a continuous process, consisting of a series of actions, each of which may be entirely legal in itself. Lambèr Rooyackers writes that:

“Stalking is a form of mental assault, in which the perpetrator repeatedly, unwantedly, and disruptively breaks into the life-world of the victim, with whom he has no relationship (or no longer has), with motives that are directly or indirectly traceable to the affective sphere. Moreover, the separated acts that make up the intrusion cannot by themselves cause the mental abuse, but do taken together (cumulative effect).”

CyberAngels has written about how to identify cyberstalking:

When identifying cyberstalking “in the field,” and particularly when considering whether to report it to any kind of legal authority, the following features or combination of features can be considered to characterize a true stalking situation: malice, premeditation, repetition, distress, obsession, vendetta, no legitimate purpose, personally directed, disregarded warnings to stop, harassment, and threats.

Paul Bocij identifies a number of key factors:

False accusations. Many cyberstalkers try to damage the reputation of their victim and turn other people against them. They post false information about them on websites. They may set up their own websites for this purpose. They post allegations about the victim to newsgroups and chat rooms.

Attempts to gather information about the victim. Cyberstalkers may approach their victim’s friends, family and work colleagues to obtain personal information. They may advertise for information on the Internet, or hire a private detective.

Encouraging others to harass the victim. Many cyberstalkers try to involve third parties in the harassment. They may claim the victim has harmed the stalker or his family in some way, or may post the victim’s name and telephone number in order to encourage others to join the pursuit.

False victimization. The cyberstalker will claim that the victim is harassing him. Bocij writes that this phenomenon has been noted in a number of well-known cases.

Attacks on data and equipment. They may try to damage the victim’s computer by sending viruses

What Is Cyberstalking?
From the U.S. Department of Justice

Although there is no universally accepted definition of cyberstalking, the term is used in this report to refer to the use of the Internet, e-mail, or other electronic communications devices to stalk another person. Stalking generally involves harassing or threatening behavior that an individual engages in repeatedly, such as following a person, appearing at a person’s home or place of business, making harassing phone calls, leaving written messages or objects, or vandalizing a person’s property. Most stalking laws require that the perpetrator make a credible threat of violence against the victim; others include threats against the victim’s immediate family; and still others require only that the alleged stalker’s course of conduct constitute an implied threat. While some conduct involving annoying or menacing behavior might fall short of illegal stalking, such behavior may be a prelude to stalking and violence and should be treated seriously.

Nature and Extent of Cyberstalking

Although online harassment and threats can take many forms, cyberstalking shares important characteristics with offline stalking. Many stalkers - online or off - are motivated by a desire to exert control over their victims and engage in similar types of behavior to accomplish this end. As with offline stalking, the available evidence (which is largely anecdotal) suggests that the majority of cyberstalkers are men and the majority of their victims are women, although there have been reported cases of women cyberstalking men and of same-sex cyberstalking. In many cases, the cyberstalker and the victim had a prior relationship, and the cyberstalking begins when the victim attempts to break off the relationship. However, there also have been many instances of cyberstalking by strangers. Given the enormous amount of personal information available through the Internet, a cyberstalker can easily locate private information about a potential victim with a few mouse clicks or key strokes.

The fact that cyberstalking does not involve physical contact may create the misperception that it is more benign than physical stalking. This is not necessarily true. As the Internet becomes an ever more integral part of our personal and professional lives, stalkers can take advantage of the ease of communications as well as increased access to personal information. In addition, the ease of use and non-confrontational, impersonal, and sometimes anonymous nature of Internet communications may remove disincentives to cyberstalking. Put another way, whereas a potential stalker may be unwilling or unable to confront a victim in person or on the telephone, he or she may have little hesitation sending harassing or threatening electronic communications to a victim. Finally, as with physical stalking, online harassment and threats may be a prelude to more serious behavior, including physical violence.

While there are many similarities between offline and online stalking, the Internet and other communications technologies provide new avenues for stalkers to pursue their victims.

A cyberstalker may send repeated, threatening, or harassing messages by the simple push of a button; more sophisticated cyberstalkers use programs to send messages at regular or random intervals without being physically present at the computer terminal. California law enforcement authorities say they have encountered situations where a victim repeatedly receives the message “187″ on their pagers - the section of the California Penal Code for murder. In addition, a cyberstalker can dupe other Internet users into harassing or threatening a victim by utilizing Internet bulletin boards or chat rooms. For example, a stalker may post a controversial or enticing message on the board under the name, phone number, or e-mail address of the victim, resulting in subsequent responses being sent to the victim. Each message — whether from the actual cyberstalker or others — will have the intended effect on the victim, but the cyberstalkers effort is minimal and the lack of direct contact between the cyberstalker and the victim can make it difficult for law enforcement to identify, locate, and arrest the offender.

What KApu posted was up and out there on the Internet. So your own agreement that makes what people have done to kapu not wrong also clears Kapu of any wrong doing.

The anons took it a step further.


If Kapu had done any of the things the anons had done to her to those people than she would be wrong as well. But she did not. ALL SHE DID WAS ASK FOR ADVICE ABOUT A SITUATION AT HER JOB. tHE ANONS ARE THE ONES WHO WENT AND LOOKED UP HER INFO

If I knock on the celing, Elena, all I get is particle board dust falling down on me. They can't hear it. I've already tried that in the past.

Trouble is, they're not really being noisy enough to wake me, just noisy enough to keep me from falling asleep. The noise level rises, and just when I go to pick up the phone to complain they quiet down again. I'd put in my ear plugs, but then I wouldn't hear my alarm go off in the morning.

If I don't call them tonight (there's still a chance that I will), I will be leaving a note for her mother. Her daughter moved back in 5 months ago and it's been nothing but noise ever since, at all hours. I don't think she works or goes to school. I've had a noise level discussion with her before, but it obviously didn't sink in. If it continues, however, I will be giving my notice.

Sorry, RW, that sounds sucky. I sleep with earplugs everynight, even though I sleep downstairs away from my husband. I am such a light sleeper, if a cat farts, it wakes me up.

Martha Smith-Jones said...

So know according to anons I am a slight stupid loser, an ass kisser, I am jealous of gerz, I have no common sense, I make my own and other peoples' heads hurt and I bring people to tears.

I think I need to put that on a shirt.

resurrected wreck said...

Earplugs is something I've considered, Carrie. But I'm afraid of missing my alarm if I wear them.

resurrected wreck said...

Sharpie it onto your neck, MJ.

Entropy said...

You know, I don't think I've ever actually heard a cat fart.

Anonymous said...

Miranth, if you do mind me asking, how old is your niece?

Anonymous said...

Add not funny to the list.

Carrie said...

Yeah, Rw, I usually still hear my alarm, but again, the whole light sleeper thing. Even with those in I'm the one who hears a kid cough upstairs at 3 in the morning.

miranth said...

I am cleaning up before I go, but I will check back before I leave.

Though at this rate, maybe I could get my first comment in after all!

RW - my family members said that Venice is a place everyone should visit at least once, and they have traveled pretty extensively. So no matter what, it wouldn't be a wasted trip!

Martha Smith-Jones said...

Hello Carrie. I can't use earplug I have to use five alarm just to wake up.

Anonymous said...

Pfffftttt

resurrected wreck said...

I'm a pretty light sleeper too, Carrie. Maybe I should try those earplugs.

miranth said...

My niece is 12 anon. But she is one of over 10 and counting. (NOt including nephews) I have a large catholic family!

Carrie said...

You must be like my husband Martha, with his bajillion snoozes and such. Me, the alarm goes off, I get up, easy peasy. Might not be happy about it, but I do it.

miranth said...

A fan works wonders guys! That's the only way I can tune out noises.

Back later...

resurrected wreck said...

I just put in my earplugs, Carrie, and tried my alarm. I can hear it, but softly. I don't know if it's enough to wake me up. But I think I'm going to give it a try anyway, otherwise I'll get no sleep tonight.

resurrected wreck said...

A fan works wonders guys! That's the only way I can tune out noises.

I have two fans, for that very purpose. I wouldn't be able to sleep at all without them.

resurrected wreck said...

See you, Miranth :) Have a good night!

Carrie said...

Good luck RW! If you're late for work in the morning, I totally give you permission to blame it on me. I'll write you a note and everything.

elena said...

Miranth

Take Care. Talk to you later

Martha Smith-Jones said...

I am happy I have my own hate anon.


Not funny I already knew that anon. Tell me something I don't know.

God.


How many times to I have to tell you if are going to come at me make it good

resurrected wreck said...

The Head of Wardrobe at the theatre I will be working at for the next three weeks is very easy going. If I oversleep because of the earplugs, she'll totally understand.

If that does happen, I'm going to have to have a talk with my landlady, because that's just not acceptable.

Carrie said...

Night Miranth, I'm sure I'll be gone by the time you return.

resurrected wreck said...

My landlady's daughter is a nice enough girl. But she's self-absorbed (hell, at that age I think it's inevitable) and irresponsible. I don't want to get her into trouble, but I have to work for a living.

resurrected wreck said...

Okay, I'm going to give this sleep thing another shot.

Have a good night, everyone :)

sally said...

MJ you have made it! You have your own hate anon.

You must be popular ;)

Carrie said...

Night RW!

Anonymous said...

oh, she's got more than one.

resurrected wreck said...

Hey, I can't hear them at all with these earplugs in 0_0 They just might do the trick!

Night :)

Carrie said...

Goodnight guys, I have to go stuff my own earplugs in my head!

Martha Smith-Jones said...

Goodnight RW and Miranth



Haha Elune they hate me they really really do.


;)

Entropy said...

That's good, RW! Night.

Entropy said...

Night, Carrie!

miranth said...

Goodnight carrie, rw and elena!

Oh my god anon 1:57,

Were you gonna stalk my niece :D Actually that would be impossible as I have even more than a dozen. I just can't count right now! I can't even remember them all! Good luck with that ;) When you have it all figured out - tell me how so I can remember. *laughing* :) Thanks!

Anonymous said...

ha ha funny not.

Martha Smith-Jones said...

Ooh I am so scared I have more than one anon who hates me.


A bunch of people who are to scared to use a name don't like me. What are you going to do get me fired from my job as well.

Carrie said...

Night, mah pimp!

Anonymous said...

what, so you can draw unemployment like you're dying to, no, wouldn't do you the favor.

miranth said...

Do step nieces and nephews count? I forget to add them...oops.

Martha - Join the club! I like your attitude about it - I laughed out loud at some of your responses!

Martha Smith-Jones said...

Night Carrie.



Haha anon not funny either.

elena said...

Night RW

Good luck with sleeping

elena said...

Night Carrie

Martha Smith-Jones said...

Than anon you must not really hate me.


Thank you miranth

Martha Smith-Jones said...

Elena how are you tonight

sally said...

MJ, think of it more like your own fan club, just look at BN! ^_~

On that note, my bed is luring me, so goodnight everyone. Sleep warm and tight ^_^

Martha Smith-Jones said...

Goodnight Elune.

Like Bn that is no funny.

elena said...

Martha

I'm good tonight. How are you feeling?

Martha Smith-Jones said...

Elena I am feeling silly tonight.

miranth said...

Goodnight elune :) Thanks for your support as a nice anon. It was awesome of you :)

Martha Smith-Jones said...

shit funny should be fun

Entropy said...

Yeah, I gotta go sleepy eyes, too.
Talk to you guys tomorrow. Have a good night and a pleasant tomorrow.
With like, less anons and more musack and cotton candy.

Martha Smith-Jones said...

Goodnight entropy

elena said...

Night Elune sleep tight


Martha feeling silly is good!

elena said...

Night Entropy

Heck is everyone leaving?

Martha Smith-Jones said...

Elena I am on the phone with my friend I am telling her about the anon and what they are saying to me. She is laughing her ass off.

Martha Smith-Jones said...

I am on vacation Elena so I can be here for a while.

miranth said...

Goodnight entropy, Martha, and elena!

I have to go now.

Mayo, I left a message earlier, but I did want to say that the vultures didn't get to me this time! At All! I am quite shocked actually... It was funny cause they brought up my niece, saying that I was trying to get attention by talking about her, but the thing was, the reason I came here in the first place was to forget about all of her problems for a bit, and this place helped me get some peace. For that I must thank you! I don't even mind mentioning her here now, though I did with trepidation about a month ago. But everything is cool now. And it was another niece who brought me here in the first place. It's funny really... Thank you again :)

elena said...

Martha

I'm on the phone with a friend too!

See ya later Miranth

Martha Smith-Jones said...

Goodnight Miranth.


I hope your friend is doing well Elena

elena said...

Martha

My friend I'm talking to is one of the Lovelies. It's Anima and she says Hello Martha.

Martha Smith-Jones said...

Hello anima

elena said...

Martha

Anima says hello

Martha Smith-Jones said...

what are you guys talking about?

toujours said...

hello, blogbelieve. just wanted to make a quick comment and let you all know i made it to kentucky safe and sound.

i've been sitting here trying to catch up on all the activity since i last posted -- praline-eating anons and all *grin* -- lots of discussions and abuse, so it seems like business as usual. good to know.

it's me, you made me laugh with the willie nelson reference -- i grew up on him and so that song is in my head at the beginning of every trip, s.o.p.

but to be imagining me as a nun?? well, maybe i can be a bit julie andrews-ish at times. still, thanks muchly for your supportive words. they do mean a lot to me.

elena, i'm emailing you tomorrow so we can coordinate the kansas move.

must go to bed now. i'm very tired.

good night, all.

good night, mayo-sama. please do take care of yourself. you're important, no matter what side of the bed you got up on, okay?

Martha Smith-Jones said...

Goodnight Tj

elena said...

Anima and I are talking about my kids. Oh my.

elena said...

Talk to you tomorrow Shirley

Sweet Dreams!

Martha Smith-Jones said...

How are your daughters elena

anima said...

Goodnight everyone.

Elena, thanks. :) I love talking to you.

Martha, I told Elena to tell you hello, hope you don't mind the vicarious greetings. It is from my heart.

Take care everyone. I may not be around for a while. Always know that I do love all of you, my friends, so very much. No worries, just need to focus on a few things. Fuck, who am I kidding? I can't leave you guys. I'll figure it out.

Take care. ♥ to all of you.

elena said...

Sorry Martha

I wandered off trying to get my work done. My girls are all doing great. The oldest is graduating on Thursday. It's hard to believe that she'll be out of high school. Where the hell did time go?

Martha Smith-Jones said...

Anima don't worry about it.


I am sad to hear you won't be around. Come back soon alright.

Martha Smith-Jones said...

Elena my 21 year sister. We have the same father just had a baby. It seems like just last year she left high school. A lot more time has passed than I realized.

anima said...

Mayo, (why do I always giggle at that name?), anyhoo, just know I will be thinking about you a ton. I need to go on a do a few things and well, I hope I can share them, but it will be ridiculously uninteresting. So I will refrain. For your sake. :)

Or maybe I will...time will tell. ^_^

...

SS, hope is what I'm living by right now...yet hope can only do so much. Moving forward...moving along...that's my focus. Hope lay underneath. It has to, otherwise what else do I have?

Thanks Martha. *hugs*

Goodnight my friends. Talk to you soon. :)

elena said...

Martha I've come to the conclusion that time is a very scary thing. It creeps up on you and takes off so damn quickly.

Sometimes I look at my girls and think what the hell happened? They were little yesterday. I wish I could slow it down sometimes. That's why I always try to remind myself to enjoy each and every minute. I try to hold on to each moment knowing that I'll never get it back. I try to memorize the feeling because I know it will be gone before I blink.

Crap I gotta say goodnight to Mr Blog Man then get my work done.

Night Martha. Catch you tomorrow.

Martha Smith-Jones said...

goodnight elena

anima said...

"That's why I always try to remind myself to enjoy each and every minute."

Me too. :)

Night Blogbelieve.

Mayo

So I’m really gonna try to make sense when writing this goodnight but to be honest that’s not gonna be easy. I just spent the last two hours smoking, drinking and talking to my friend. Yeah, we were on the phone but it was like we were in the same room. Oh and yeah, Lord I sound like a broken record, thanks Mayo. I have this friend because of you. Yep, I was talking with one of your Lovelies. One of my concert friends. Anima and I met because of this blog and to tell you the truth when I actually met her it was like meeting an old friend. It’s great being able to talk to someone for hours and never hit a quite awkward moment. Bet you never thought in a million years you’d help people find friends did you? Be honest….did you? Nope. I don’t think you did.

But now I’m all talked out. That doesn’t happen often. I still have at least another hour of work to do before I can go to bed. So no long ramble from me tonight. I just want to say this to you. Thank you Mayo for more things than I could ever put into words. Crap that sounds schmaltzy but it’s from my heart.

Night Mayo

Elena (damn I’m tired)

Martha Smith-Jones said...

where is the night crew?

Kassiopeia said...

Morning Mayo & Misc. others!

I got a whopping £10.60 tax rebate in the post this morning - yay for me, etc... - and I shall put it towards a copy of TBPID like a good girl. Incidentally, if you search for "The Black Parade is dead" on Amazon (UK), MSI's If comes up ahead of both Bullets and 3 Cheers - the assimilation is complete, God help us!!

Question for the day - how long can one put off one's filing before it becomes a fire hazard?

Kass xx

Martha Smith-Jones said...

Hello kass,


as long as you can still get out of the house I don't think you have to worry

farawaysoclose said...

this is one of my fav gerard and frankie interviews. just the DB's this one!! i know you have probably all seen it but i hadn't for ages, so i thought i'd share!! can i type some more on this link...fuck yeah but i have to go now!! bye!

Kassiopeia said...

Hi FASC,

Woah, can you say one word with more of an accent?! I wonder if Mama Way ever nags him to get a sensible haircut or if she realises it's probably a lost cause.

However, my favourite part is the girl who answered the question, "What's your chemical romance?" with "The 5 guys in My Chemical Romance, that's 'My Chemical Romance'.". Fabulous!

My guess is Mayo agrees that angry sex is 'fantastic'! Either that, or he's just as excited about the Fraggles movie as I am...

Kass xx

Good morning/afternoon/evening Mayo, SS, Martha, Kass, FASC, Miranth, Possum, RW, PJ, watchers, lurkers, those who "feel like a nut" and those who don't!

How are you all today? Did you all have a fantastic day, as it seems Mayo did, yesterday? I hope so! And, I hope today is even better!!!

Who ate all the pralines? *pouts*
I bet RW and Siobhan (she eats everything *wink*) are responsible.
*must sneak into their rooms and check for crumbs in their beds*
I have a feeling Sdock was involved too!

You ladies should try those delectable, sugary, sweet candy confections - cooked, stirred, and dropped on wax paper - by my wonderful, one and only sister. She makes the best pralines in the state!

Kass: Try not to go too crazy with that recent financial windfall! ;)

Amy: Congratulations on the promotion! I just hope it doesn't add more stress to your life.

Miranth: 12 nieces??? WOW! Awww....I have no doubt you adore each and every one of them! Please send my love to that 'extra' special one!

FASC: I loved the "It's a small world" ride at Disneyland too! LOL, I cried on that thing. I'm serious! How sad it that? It was my hormones; yes, that's it! ;)

Ergo: I'm happy to hear you're feeling much better, honeybunch! *big smooooooch*

Entropy: Don't forget to catch up on Lost before tomorrow night!!!!

Martha: How are those headaches? I had one FOR YOU last night. Hopefully, you were pain free, as I was not! ;p

TJ: I'm happy to hear you have arrived at your desired (for now) destination!

Elena and Anima: *big hugs* Just because!

i want to go but i want to be first at the porch too! fucking dilemma!!

hi there wendy!!

Anon616 said...

Kass!!! I didn't know you liked it on top. :)
But, shouldn't you scream out "OH GOD" instead of hell?

Well, come to think of it; a couple of hells and damns DO slip out sometimes! ;)

Have a great day/night Kass!

Anon616 said...

Hi FASC!!!! How are you? How's Mr. Bloke? Is he still being nicer too you? You must tell me what it is you've been doing - and apparently doing right! ;)
