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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thanks for those video links! I will have to disagree with mom W though. I just don't think a man should ever allow a scissors near his hair! Well, perhaps a little trim now and then....

Hiya Mayo! Hiya SS! Hiya BB!
I'm off to work now. Booooo! Oh well, short day today so I'll see you all later on!
Mayo,
I guess I can't expect you to share your pralines if I wouldn't let you have a cream puff, huh?
No. You should always share with me regardless. ^_~
SS!!!!!!!
Sunshine, blue skies and loud ass-kicking music. That's what I'm sending you today. Hope to see you soon!
Have a great day errbody! ^_^
XOXO,
S&V20
You like those pralines? Yeah, well I don't want your pralines. I'm already out of my fucking mind. I'll make you come up here and lick all those pralines off this stage. I don't care if you are 12 years old. So, keep your pralines to yourself or I'm gonna beat your ass.
Mayo,
So, we've made it back to the middle of the week again. I think. It is Wednesday, right? Yeah, someone is saying that it is. Yay, I guess. I hope you are still as fantastic as yesterday. Unless it's one of those sarcastic fantastics, those aren't good. But if it's really fantastic fantastic, then come off some it and spread it around.
Hey, it's the least you can do since you aren't sharing the pralines.
Can you feel that? It's me poking you with a pointy stick.
Mayo, may you have a wonderful, wacky and weird Wednesday. Why? Well, just cause we all need days that leave us questioning it all. Scratching our heads, speechless, rubbing our chin, raising our brows, scrunching our lips, and such.
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. WHAT? Dude, don't ask me.
Marrying a man is like buying something you've been admiring for a long time in a shop window. You may love it when you get it home, but it doesn't always go with everything in the house .
SS,
*waves*
HI! Can you see me from way over there?
Maybe if I hop up and down and wave both arms.
Know what? I don't think you can. I think I'm lost. Again. How did I end up here?
I really shouldn't have picked the trail that wasn't on the map.
Any ideas how to get back?
My friend, have a great day! Maybe I'm not lost afterall. Maybe I am right where I am supposed to be.
Always,
S
Marriage is a great institution, but I'm not ready for an institution yet.
More funny Mae West quotes
wow anon pralines just aren't worth the agro!
Please there are so many other confections to share your anger with, it would be tragic to focus it all on the poor praline!
hey all I'm home had my pizza and a glass of red and I'm just calling in to say goodnight
Mayo Hope you've got a good exercise regime going, too much confection can be a bad thing.....haha but isn't the ride there fun! wishing chocolate, nougat, candy and of course pralines to you and yours
Much love EP xx
SS you like confections too? I do at times, I'm not a real sweet tooth though. So sending you fluffy clouds, sunsets,spring showers and verdant new growth lotsa love EP xx
so goodnight all, kass smoke Rw fasc wendy
see everyone in 8 or so hours. I'm off to bed.
oh - sad about Amazon, and I love Fraggle Rock (it's on tv here again) I think Sprocket is gorgeous.
Wendy - donuts!!! haha so cool if he is a watcher, otherwise he's a guy we wanna meet!
ok goodnight
Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, and half-shut afterwards.
I love being married. It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life
I think men who have a pierced ear are better prepared for marriage. They've experienced pain and bought jewelry.
I wanted to make it really special on Valentine's day, so I tied my boyfriend up. And for three solid hours I watched whatever I wanted on TV.
I never married because there was no need. I have three pets at home which answer the same purpose as a husband. I have a dog which growls every morning, a parrot which swears all afternoon, and a cat that comes home late at night.
Ha Ha,good one!And i will leave you with this... My husband said it was him or the cat... I miss him sometimes! Everyone have a good day!!
Marriage is an investment which pays dividends if you pay interest.

Why did God create men? Because vibrators can't mow the lawn.
See, the problem is that God gives men a brain and a penis, and only enough blood to run one at a time.
Men can read maps better than women. Cause only the male mind could conceive of one inch equalling a hundred miles.
For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed hot woman of 40 +, there is a balding, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year-old waitress.

sdock10 - I really do not think I should be poking anyone with a stick :)
All - I had a great time at the party the other night. Bottle of rum and a straw...sometimes in life it is the simple pleasures. Sorry I took off without helping to clean up, but it looks like someone cleaned. Just one question -- Where are the pictures of the strippers?!
It's Me
sdock10 - Guess It's Me was not doing the poking :) Need more coffee!!
Oh wife If music be the food of love, play on,
Give me excess of it; that surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.

Running late as usual. Just want to say to everyone....

Now I'm really in search of coffee.
Hello everybody
6 I am sorry about the headache. But you know what they say if your sick the best way to get rid of it is to give it to someone else.
I wanted it to go to the nasty anons but it went to you. Sorry.
Morning, everyone!
Mayo:
So, you know I have it bad when I was thinking of something to write this morning last night. It came out of the blue, too.
I was thinking back to when I was a kid and how innocent my kid mind was, and I suddenly remembered some of the things I used to think.
I had only ever heard of heaven and hell, and I wasn't really aware of what meaning they held, nor did I know where those places were. Oh my goodness, this is so juvenile, so, in my kid mind? I thought heaven was on the left side of the sky and hell was on the right.
Now, keep in mind that it was left and right according to my position in the world. So, really, to the adult mind, heaven and hell would encompass the entire sky. There would be no dividing line, because it was all around. I only later realized that I was a Psychologist's dream.
You should enjoy this next one.
Another thing I thought last night was, as a kid, lightening was pretty damn cool. I guess it still kind of is, but I know what lightening is now, and as a kid, I didn't. I just knew that it was bright and did wicked stuff in the sky.
In my mind, I always thought lightening was someone taking a picture of the world, someone who wanted to preserve it.
Completely elementary concepts, but comforting and laugh-inducing all at the same time. I wish the world and my mind were both still that simple.
Sending you lots of good stuff today. No pralines though. :) Have a great one, Mayo!
SS!
So, so, so excited today. You ever get like that when there's a new record out that you're dying to get? Oh, hell yeah! I love this feeling.
We hope everything's okay! It's been a little bit, so you're probably just "cezy bizzy." Take a load off sometime, yeah? You could totally kill your time talking to us. ;)
Anyway, see you around!
BBers:
Two questions-
1. Has anyone spoken with BC?
2. Has anyone spoken with Jade?
*does a cartwheel*
I'll see you guys later! I'll probably be blabbing about this new, bright, shiny, music laden disc, but you don't have to listen! :)
Bye, guys. Lots o' ♥.
Oh, goodness. My apologies for the length! Didn't mean for it to be so long!

for us
"The Prophet"
Kahil Gibran
Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise on your lips.
i'll love you
always
be well
Gahhh, what is with all the generalizations about men this morning? O_o
Martha Jones, you rock, and guess what, my lawyer agrees with you. For the record, I printed out everything that I said, they said, he said, she said, etc. and he assured me that I was and am within my rights the entire time.
That's all I wanna say about that because it looks like these people will never, ever, ever quit with me. Am I right, nasty anons?
7:25, I laughed, seriously. ^_^
Okay, gotta go. I'll be on the porch on and off today, catch ya later.
Oh, goodness. My apologies for the length! Didn't mean for it to be so long!
That's what he said.
i take it kapunua doesn't like pralines.

good morning, all.
a wet rainy day, as much coffee as i want, and the prospect of fresh laundry: the day is looking pretty good from where i'm sitting. *grin*
you're very right, it's me, it's very good to be sitting still, indeed. my mom and i were just talking about that this morning -- how i need a place now where i can sit and figure out my next move, do the research and make my plans without worrying about where i'm sleeping that night or if i have enough money for food.
i admit, it felt weird returning last night -- not really a guest this time, more like a refugee. very much the prodigal daughter. odd.
maybe this trip broke me down somewhat -- my life is a bit like a slashed & burned field at the moment, and i'm not sure where i belong, not even sure if i belong here anymore! -- but it also opened the doors to myself, as well, and gave me connections.
so i'm going to follow those lines and see what happens.
but i won't ever forget what happened to me while travelling around following mcr, the people i met and the many kindnesses i received.
i don't know what will stay with me from that trip -- i don't know who was a friend of the road and who was a friend come to stay, i'm still processing what i learned about myself while sleeping on floors and couches and pavement.
but i will never forget it, any of it. i was blessed these last five weeks. even if everything i was given while travelling fades to faint fond memory and words in my journal, i was blessed, and i am so grateful.
oh geez. i wasn't going to do this anymore. mayo's not my therapist, after all!
sorry.
gotta go write some emails. time to get back in gear and figure out what shape thngs are in.
later, blogbelieve.
sorry for crying on your nice pretty blog again, mayo. hope you have plenty of good coffee and whatever else may make you happy today. maybe you're in a spot where you can rest and just be barefoot for a while, too? that would be good.
BREAK ME
I just want to break you down so badly, silence.
Mayo,
Come make my husband hush. >_<

Ummmm, just want to say again how much we miss you. Hope your doing okay!

Hiess Deutsch! Deutschland ist serh hiess mit heissen leute.
*wonder if that makes any sense to Fisch*
Wie süß! How cute!
Ja, ich bin ein heiße Deutsche, haha!
One hot German.
Hello there, Anon!
Wie geht es dir?
Did you learn German in school, Elfe?
Fisch ist sehr suss!!!
Are you liking or hating this Anon.
Hello Siobhan and safe
Ja, in die Schule. Das ist warum ich nicht sehr gut. Es bin seiben jahren.
Hi MJ.
Danke, Elfe! *blushes*
Du aber auch!
Well, I don't really know what the anon means with saying that s/he gets hot and bothered reading my German.
Am I supposed to feel offended then?
Tell me, Anon.
No, I'm saying hearing German is sezzzy. No offense intended.
Hello MJ!
How are you?
German is such a difficult language, Elfe.
Even 'real' Germans have problems with it, haha!
Aber ich kann dich gut verstehen.
Danke, Anon! Du kleines geiles Stück, du! ;-D
I ♥ NEW MUSIC!
For Gavin DeGraw fans and Gavin DeGraw Anon:
I gotta say, I'm pleasantly, pleasantly surprised with this one. Normally with an artist's sophomore album, there's this expectation you have for them to meet or surpass. But, it's been so long since this dude's had an album out, I really had no expectations.
This record isn't a complete and total departure from his first. The same can't be said for every artist, and it bums me out when they feel there is a need to change their entire aesthetic, because there isn't. You end up confusing the listener. When you go from Rock to Easy Listening, you give your listener a MindFuck.
Gavin certainly hasn't done that with this one, you guys. The piano is still in there. His easy to understand lyrical meaning is still there. But, dudes. It's much more rock. Sweet, right? It's layered. The hooks are fantastic. The vocals are awesome. The melodies and harmonies are amazing. One time I even went "Ooooh!," 'cause it caught me off guard. Guitar is pretty prominent and, as I said, the piano can still be heard. He stayed true to himself, and he built on it. Props, dude.
That kinda brings me to production and mixing. Hellllloooo, Howard Benson! Yeah, dude is genius, we know that, right? ;) What he did was awesome. Yay for him!
Another thing that gets my goober is this. Artists who use auto-tune. Drives me crazy. I want to hear you, not some idealized version of yourself. Above that, they think it isn't detectable by the listener, but it is. Your voice will not be pitch-perfect all of the time, that I understand. But, don't make your record sound like a freakin' robot sang it, 'kay?
I'm pretty sure they did this record without even a smidge of pitch correction. It doesn't sound like a live record, but it certainly isn't over-produced like some of the things out there. It's gritty, grainy, and artistic. I really think Howard did a great job on it.
Gavin is a great singer/songwriter. If you guys haven't checked him out, you can here. Don't expect flamboyant, really big, vocals, but do expect a great, honest vocalist. He's got a timeless feel, and I really think you guys might enjoy him and his music. :)
'Kay. I'm done!
GDeGraw Anon:
You should have gotten yourself a copy, too! Crazy kids! ;)
I guess the same is for English, Fisch. French is the worst though. I hated learning French.
I'm glad you like the German Anon. Is it only German or is it forgien languages that get you hot?
I liked learning French. But the teachers changed very often and I lost interest after a while because it was really annoying to get used to a new teacher with different teaching skills all the time.
I didn't like the fact that it wasn't pronounce how it was spelt unlike German and Italian.
Yes, that is true, haha.
Although Italian words can be quite tricky too.
Siobhan I am well. Hello MIb
I am going off for a little while
I'm off to bed.
Goodnight Elfe, MJ and Mustard!
Gute Nacht, Anon!
Gute Nacht, Fisch.
See you soon MJ.
Goodnight Siobhan
I won't be going off. The other person doesn't want to go just yet.
The other person?
I was going shopping with a family member. They want to wait till later.
Oh, right.
Everyone's shopping with family today.
I guess they are.
*tumbleweed* lol.
It's like there is about to be a gun fight in here. So all the towns people are hiding.
Or out laws have come to town and have the people scared.
I'm hiding in the Saloon, behind a barrel of beer!
Damn outlaws. The sherrif needs to do something about them. Should we organise a hanging?
A hanging. Now that will get the people to come out. All we need is a nasty anon to show up.
The anon's who are harrassing K are the first to go.
^I think I've just made myself a target for anon bashing. Oh well.
Hey join the club. I have my own hate club. I wonder are they watchers or just Bners. Maybe even a regular.
Hola Mayo,SS and Family!
"I think I've just made myself a target for anon bashing. Oh well."
You know I would fight for you,Safe! ;)
Oh,and Kapu, I'm so glad to know you talked to your lawyer!
Mustard,even if I'm not a fan,you're review is great!You should really consider writing about music...
Haha! You should start a group. How about "The Blogger's Most Hated Crew." You can have girls look up to you for no reason, while they tell you how lucky and pretty you are. Then, the website!
"You know I would fight for you,Safe! ;)"
Aww, Bella, you sweetheart. Thank you. *hug* But, I'm proberly to insignificant to bash anyway.
I was think the Loudmouth and Ugly Bitches of the Blogbelieve.
Hello Bella.
That's an excellent name. Do you think it will help you land a Buzznet endorsment? Who's Loudmouth and how many Ugly Bitches does she have?
Safe I thought that about myself as well. I was wrong.
Thought what?
Well first I have to latch myself onto some famous people and then right bad fan fiction about my time with them. Than I think Bn will come crawling to me. Loudmouth and the Bitches would make a good band name
are you faking it with her as well? you stupid jerk
That the anons would never have anything to say to me. I mean its not like I am on Mayo or SS's top list of friends. Hell they don't even really speak to me.
So I was very shocked and surprise when an anon attacked me.
Fuck,I hate my computer.
I have to go unfortunately.
Take care,lovelies.
See you tomorrow.
Love you all!
*HUGS & KISSES*
PS:SS,thanks for your note.
Good evening, BlogBelieve!
Hey, Bella! Hey again, Safe and MJ!
How's everybody doing?
Aw, goodbye, Bella! So sorry about your computer! :(
good morning everyone!
Hi safe bella MJ you're all well?
it's funny some days I wake up and there are 2 pages of stuff others like today it's not even off the page I last had.
K nothing like a bush pee, and ticks generally don't attack, lol
It's not to late MJ, go to a gig, jump on stage and open your legs. Boom!! Instant success. Screw BN, hold out for a book deal. Everyone wants to read a kiss and tell book. Have you decided which clothing line you'd like to model yet? Start your own?
Loudmouth and the Ugly Bitches would be an amazing name for a band. Let's rally up a load of bitches for auditions. No talent necessary. They just have to be able to open their legs, do backbends and look hot. It shouldn't be too hard. There seems to be a lot of talentless skanks out there to choose from.
Bye Bells.
Hi Ergo and MIB.
hey mustard, I will have something for you later, if I can locate my camera!
bye bella.
Morning, Ergo!
Oooo! I will be waiting on pins and needles, Ergo! Can't wait!
OH MY GOD! Blogger is being a bigger asswhore than usual today!
WTF?
Hey BlogBelievers!
MJ you'll also have to colour your hair put on some really extreme makeup, especially the eyes, and take a close up photo of you looking at something off to the left.
hi sdock
Hallo Lovelies!
Slightly better today.
Anons, I have a picture of me and Mayo together. Do you know why he doesn't respond to me much? It's because I talk to him every night on my phone!
-A
Hi Ergo!
What's new in Blogtown?
Hi Amy.
Heeeeeey, Sdock!
Hello, Amy!
Hi Solly.
Hey Safe, Hey Mustard, Hey Amy, Hey MJ, Hey Anon(s), Hey Lurker peeps, Hey Watcher peeps, Hey Mayo!
hi amy!
could you tell mayo I'm still waiting for him to get back to me on that invite? I couldn't call him last night.
Hiya Safe, Mustard and Socky!
How are y'all doing?
-A
Ergo, I'll be calling him after supper, so I'll make sure to let him know.
How's it going in Aussie-Land?
-A
Goodnight Bella
Hello amy, ep,mib and sd how are you.
I am well.
Make up you say Ep. How about this I take a bunch of makeup pour it on a plate and press it into my face will that do.
Safe can you imagine the in fighting we would have. And the skank parties. We would be on the cover of every magazine.
I'm doing well, guys! Just winding down for the evening. :)
It's good thanks just getting started for the day, though I got groceries tuesday and last night i went to find the cat food and it's not here, so I'm guessing I left the bag at the shop :( so I'll call back in this morning
Safe can you imagine the in fighting we would have. And the skank parties. We would be on the cover of every magazine.
All together right? Cause none of you bitches is getting a cover without MY ASS plastered all over it. XD
-A
MJ I think that is exactly what you do!lots of black, so you look like a bruised panda
I'd love nothing more than fighting and skank parties. And, okay, Amy's ass.
*searches all over the corner for some leftover pralines*
*finds only crumbs*
DAMNIT MAN! That's just wrong!
lol amy. I can see it now amy and her big ass on the cover of Us. And the story will be how to get a big ass like amy's in two days.
Sdock, I thought you southerners were born with the recipe for pralines in your brain, or somesuch?
Safe and MJ, I could never have my big ass on the cover without having the honor of you two sharing it with me.
Your faces peering out from BEHIND my big ass, of course.
-A XD

Lol a bruised panda.
hey we'll need t-shits!
Amy maybe one of us should kiss your ass and the other one spank it.
"Safe and MJ, I could never have my big ass on the cover without having the honor of you two sharing it with me.

I love you for being so selfless and thinking of others. You have a great heart.
Amy,
Why would I want to make some when Mayo could just come off his stash and give me a couple??
"The Prophet"
Kahil Gibran
Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise on your lips.
i'll love you
always wife
And don't forget the sex tapes. Because everyone has to have a sex tape to make it in the world today.
A group sex tape? Or shall we do it individually for more exposure?
anon hope you can keep those thoughts cause I can tell you when you're arguing over who spent money on what, or who was thoughtless, who is taking who for granted, who's letting the kids get away with something, who should be responsible for housework etc...etc....etc...you'll need them!

May 14, 2008 6:02 PM
Lol Amy your heart is as big as your ass.
Okay who will be the first one to marry someone more famous. Because that seems to be the new trend in Hollywood.
If you are the more famous person you can use your new partner like a fashine acceraery. You know he will be like the new coach hand bag.
Safe, I'm only like that with my true ho's. It's all about you bay-bee!
Sock, really now. Do you think he'll do that?
..
HEY MAYO, CANWEHAVESOMEPRALINESFROMYOURSECRETDRAWER,THANKS!
(it always worked on my mom. By the time she said "What?" I had my mouth full of chocolate covered almonds.)
MJ, I'll pay some struggling actors to make my sex tape for me. No point getting dirty for nothing.
Ergo, what should the Shits say?
-A
Safe we can do both. A group one so that they know we are all together ( and we will be the first ones to do it) and than individual ones to show case that we each have our own talents
and you can piss on a guitar to add some oomph!
Martha, why you have not taken up directing porn yet is beyond me.
-A
Anon, to hell with that.
Someone can get spanked with the guitar. That way, we can sell it on eBay.
-A
yeah, a guitar with ass marks. but they have to be the right ones!
Hey, guys, how's it going today?
L.
Amy that is the next step after the band hits the big time. Come on with my (lack) of talent where else can I go but to directing movies and you can all be my stars.
Know what I want Mayo to like next?
Peeps.
Yellow Chickpeeps.
Mayo needs to read while eating yellow chickpeeps.
Why? I do not know.
:)
Damn, us Ugly Bitches really how to capitalise and get a load of money.
what's the name of your band Martha?
Hello L how are you.
Amy, I have to apologize for my lack of birthday wishes the other night. See, I was at my parents with no internet access and I told SOMEONE *coughJ.cough* to tell you Happy Birthday and give you hugs and love, and well, she forgot. So I will say it now.
*See above*
L.
Hey L!
Wanna help out with our porno?

goodness as long as it's not turned on or we could all have some very unexpected and painful ooomph!
umm t shits I'll have to think on it amy!
but maybe : "Don't hate us" below all our bruised panda gazing off into space head shots
I'm off to the gym etc so I'll be back in a while
take care
Anon, the right asses, the right marks, or the right guitars?
Or did you mean only right asscheeks on all the guitars?
Should we stamp them with our asscheeks?
..
Man, I'm really overanalyzing this.
-A
anon Loudmouth and the Ugly Bitches
hi and bye L (and J)
Ok, Martha. How are you? I would ask if your headaches are better, but I wondered after the anons last night.
So your secret power is make people's heads hurt and then weep? Am I right? :)

Did you really have to ask? :) As one of the keepers of the Sex Pistols blogs? Oh, I have a pic of me and Henry Rollins, does that count for the magazine?
Hi and Bye to you too Ergo!
L.
Mustard,
How the hell is Mayo supposed to get himself some peeps? Huh?
I think he should be reading while eating sweet tarts myself.

As long as his ass isn't bigger than mine, we should be fine.
Wait, who is in this band anyway? I thought I was just doing magazine covers!

Should we stamp them with our asscheeks?
Yeah, copyright it as well!

I say Marshmallow Ice Cream Cones.
They're a one handed eat.
-A
*pokes Mayo with a stick*
What ya doing?
Hi L.,
How are ya?
I will make them for him.
I will take big marshmallows and roll them in non-toxic Tempera paint, yellow of course. Then I will draw ittle bitty chick eyeballs and an ittle bitty beak.
And Mayo will enjoy them. :)
Sweet Tarts make my face go O_o.
Anon, I bet you we could make more money if we had, like 3 limited edition guitars.
The first one is merely a black ink ass stamp.
The second is an ass impression.
The third is an ass carving in the body of the guitar itself.
I really should be head of promotions for some unscrupulous record company.
-A
Hey guys, you forgot something. Your movie needs a theme song. you know, something so awe-inspiring no one will ever forget.
Night everyone!
Or Fun Dip! Anyone remember Fun Dip???? Hells yeah!

Yeah, those leftover peeps from Easter are going to be kinda tough. How about Jelly Bellys?
Amy, Henry has a fairly small ass, so we should be fine. Me on the other hand...
L.
Mustard,
So long as you make those Peeps very (G)ently.
Fun Dip rocked my face off!
That candy stick tasted like shit, but the powdery stuff you dipped it in was good.
What about a Ring Pop!? Mayo probably would like to eat a Ring Pop while reading.
Goodnight, Safe! Sweet dreams.
I'm good, SDock, how are you?
Theme song. How about "You Got Another Think Coming" from Judas Priest?
L.
I always read while eating a blow of Fruity Pebbles myself.*
*Yes, a blow.
I will definitely be (G)entle while making Mayo's ChickPeeps.
Just call me Handle With Care.
;)
Bwuahaha!
Thank you ep for answering the anon's question and she you later.
I forgot all about the band part of this.
Yes L I have the power to make nasty anons weep by inflict pain to their small brains.
Ring Pops! and Blow Pops! All that licking just to get to that bubble gum in the center that would stick to your teeth and it was only like pea size so you just ending up swallowing it.
And candy necklaces and bracelets? You sucked on those for a bit and you had a multi-colored neck and wrist.
And those little wax bottles with the sugary liquid. Does anyone know what was IN those things?
L.
BLOW POPS!
Anon, we'll just do covers of booty shakin rap.
Like, um, The Thong Song, and Baby Got Back, and whatever Sean Paul has done lately.
-A
amy you can start a new record label. perhaps you can call it skanky ass records.
L,
are we gonna have to have an Ass-off?
I don't think there's a mag out there that could have both of us on it.
-A actually has a non-existent ass.
Dum Dums!
I bought candy necklaces for silly ghoulies today!
P.S-
Helllloooooo Nurse!
