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.

Goodnight Elune
Goodnight FS
Mayo
So how’s life? You said you were wonderful last night. Hope that’s still true. I have to admit something. I’ve just written three different starts to this goodnight and they all suffered the same fate. Death by Backspace button. It’s kinda fun really. You just press that Backspace button, hold it down and watch the words disappear. I have no idea why but it reminds me of Pac Man. The words are the dots and they get eaten up. Perhaps I used to play that game too much. Oh and Joust. Loved playing Joust. And let’s not forget Frogger. Now just how sick was that one? Poor frog trying to make it across the road. Totally sick yet fun. I miss playing those games. I can play then on the Playstation but for some reason I don’t think that’s nearly as good as the actual video game in an Arcade. Crap, does that mean I like to feed money into a machine?
Anyway how did we get on to the topic of video games? Oh yeah me erasing words. That was random. Have you noticed how very random I’ve been, well yeah of course you have. My mind just seems to be having trouble focusing. Way too many thoughts running around up there. I hope they slow down soon. I’m making my own head hurt. Usually that’s something reserved for you and your cryptic words. “Till?” “Spring cleaning posts” “Changing the dates” I think about this shit so much I get a Mayo headache. I actually said that the other day to my husband. My head was hurting because of my allergies and I said it was as bad as a Mayo headache. He gave me a funny look, shook his head and handed me the aspirin. Pretty sure I heard him mumbling something under his breath about me and my crazy friends.
So by now we all know there is no point to this. Well except that I like to talk to you before I turn in for the night. So I guess that is the point. Turn in for the night. That sounds stupid when you think about it. Turn in? Turn into what? Not important, never mind. Still I wonder. Where did that saying originate? I’ll think about that tomorrow. I got enough shit to think about right now.
Oh and Mayo. Thanks for letting me ramble. It really does help.
Night Mayo
Elena (got me a Mayo headache)
Goodnight Elena
May 12, 4:07,
I believe you, with every piece of me, I believe and trust you. Like no one before you, and no one after, ever.
This is what I want. You are what I want.
You took me by surprise with your love and devotion.
You’re the best surprise I’ve ever gotten.
Whatever we have to do, we’ll do it together.
What I ‘may think’ is that you love me. I love you too.
oh damn now it's the goodnight phase. Sorry I left earlier but my student cam e early so I couldn't get back on.
Goodnight wendy, elune, elena, fimble (missed talking to you today)
MJ you off to bed soon too?
and anons there is a difference between a grown woman dealing with wandering hands at a concert and deciding how she wished to react and a young girl who is inappropriately touched by a stranger in her workplace. Neither is right, both could be prosecuted but there is no way you should compare the two and infer the girl should just have been tougher about it.
and amyranth that was a beautiful thing you wrote
Well this sucks I can stay up late but no one is here. WTH. I will be lurking.
Hi Martha, Anon, and anyone else who's here!
Sorry I missed the party - took me too long to catch up. I saw the vultures were back and I try to avoid them.
But I do have to say that there is nothing wrong with reporting sexual harassment. In fact if more people took action, abusive people would be less likely to harm others. For me, security at any establishment I frequent has been very helpful. So ladies - and any men about, please don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. I usually don't even have to ask and security steps up, which is very lucky and not just for me. ;)
triston - I am glad you had fun with the cheerleader, naughty vamp?!? I was joking around about Wendy's and cupcake's marriage ;)
Amy - I am glad you enjoyed your birthday! Mine is in August to answer your question. A few of us are Leos, I believe!
RE: politics - one of my absolute favorite topics of conversation. Most everyone has an opinion. Few can substantiate theirs. I have great fun punching large holes in people's arguments. :D But as not everyone enjoys this, I have not subjected you to political jousting. Yet I think it a fine topic of conversation, myself. My friends disagree :) I have converted them, however, one and all... *smiles proudly* All of my female friends want Hillary in office, though Obama may have to do. I just hope he has the political connections to make his dreams of change happen.
Wendy - I second your position that personal info not be divulged here. Hopefully their IP addresses can be traced. Cause this is Bullshit.
RE - Gerard Way as Mayo, I seem to recall Mayo stating/implying repeatedly that he was not G Way. I think I'll take his word on that. And it would take a certain kind of confidence to do this. I have already stated that it took a lot for me to muster this courage, and I am not shy!
Well Mayo, if you're not already blushing, ;) I have to say that I appreciate your kindness and support once again. And if that was you reassuring us that the blog wasn't ending? I think you are a brave man ;) JK! I, too, like the people I find here and consider them to be good people.
It's me anon -
about living your dreams, if you live long enough, you learn to make new ones. Also your focus and energy will shift throughout your lifetime... to family, job opportunities, friends, new adventures, creative endeavors, etc., though the transitions are tough. And it is good to maintain one's ties to others, as you will most likely see them again. And those times of rediscovery can be some of the best. Anyhow, just speaking from my experiences...
Have a great day all!
hey MJ before you lurk - did GS talk to captain Jack? did she say he was nice?
*wishes Torchwood would hurry up and get back on tv*
hi miranth nice to see you, take care
She didn't have much time with him but she said he was nice.
Hello miranth
Hi martha! How are you feeling?
Hi ergo. You are right about that! I just hope young people feel confident asking for help. It's nothing to be ashamed of, yet unfortunately society stigmatizes aspects of this social problem. It's the abusive people that should be ashamed. And I say abuse because it's a power/control issue, whatever the nature/degree of the incident.... I have a degree in psychology - can you tell :)
2:39
You two are starting to appear ludicrous.
Go love each other in real life. This is totally absurd.
I'm starting to believe you don't know each other in real life.
Anon - it is confusing!
======================
I MISS BC!!!!! *hugs* But I am glad to hear you are doing well!
I MISS ANGEL, TOO!!! Your soothing poetry was wonderful to read of an evening!
So If you guys are lurking, Please come back!
I am alright. still down loading songs to my ipod. I don't have a lot of song. I deleted some and didn;t know it.
3:42
Leave them alone. What's it to you anyway?
Makes me wonder why it bothers you so much?
That sucks, Martha! I have trouble remembering song titles, etc. So I have to google the lyrics :) Do you remember the ones you deleted?
oh mj that's a pain, I just recieved my Pretty.Odd Cd today so I'm just ripping it for my iRiver.But I have to take something off to put it and the live Muse CD on.
Miranth yeah it's funny without BC and angel
and lovers I really hope you know each other really, or it's kind of pointless
3:49 people who are truly in love do not hide from each other and write mystery messages on blogs.
They would do anything to see each other. Even if it has to be in secret.
Have you never heard of a scenario where someone connects with someone's words and starts believing they are speaking to them? It called delusional behavior, the beginning of obsessive thinking.
It bothers me as I have been the victim of stalking, so this is familiar to me.
Yeah, I do miss them, ergo!
As to the lovers, it's just hard to follow when trying to catch up - with the time/ number anon references! I wish all anons had names. I should dub each anon that I see with a title :)
This is what happen I put a bunch of songs on and when to bed but I deleted them from my computer because I don't have the space on my computer right now. So when I put the new songs on the other ones were deleted off the ipod. I don't know why it did that. I have more than enough room on my ipod for all the songs.
A few days ago, I had the privilege of seeing Radiohead in concert, playing to a packed house of about 19,000 people. Had Lindsey been there, I imagine she would have been bored to tears. After all, not a single one of the incredibly talented musicians on stage pissed on his instrument and set it on fire. Instead, they played for nearly three hours to an audience that was so completely enthralled that they demanded two encores.
A couple of nights later, MSI played in the same town at a venue that seats approximately 1,500. I don't know anyone who went to the show and I can't find a review of it anywhere. I do know that tickets were available two days before the show, whereas Radiohead sold out months in advance.
I suppose that having a bassist who does backbends can only get a band so far. After all, for people who want that kind of entertainment, they can always find a strip joint that is full of really bendy pole dancers. Just sayin'.
I mis the people who haven't been around as well.
Anon Above^
Sorry to hear you have been subjected to stalking. That is seriously scary! Hopefully the love anons will work their situation out for the best.
======================
Anyway, goodnight to anyone lurking. I'm off to sleep for a few hours!
My longest goodnight post ever is above for anyone in the mood for a novel!
Goodnight ergo, martha, and anons!
Being married to someone who has talent will only get her so far. One people here their music and the fan girls grow up a little they will think wtf was that shit.
I believe they can alas get that kind of entertainment in porn movies.
Goodnight Miranth
Martha, technology is cool, but yeah, it can be very frustrating. Hopefully these new songs don't get deleted off your computer when you put new ones on the ipod!!! That would be a music download catch-22 :)
Goodnight! and good luck :)
I need you in my life, too. I've never had anything like this happen to me before, and sometimes it scares me that it--and you--will disappear like all the others have.
But in my heart, I know we're the real thing. Anything that feels this good has to be real. I love you, and I love you more every day.
They talk about others disappearing. You hope for their sake it's not all in their mind.
I believe they can alas get that kind of entertainment in porn movies.
QFT! Only porn movies might be more entertaining!
Thank you anon. I think you are right about it being more entertaining.
Goodnight Miranth and thank you
Morning Mayo & BlogPeople!
It's a beautiful Tuesday morning in Somerset and I wish more than anything I was outside appreciating the thin sliver of good weather they call 'Summer' in this country. I can guarantee you it'll rain at the weekend.
Yes Radiohead Anon, although flexibility can get you a long way it's positive to see that it only goes so far. I do like some of MSI's tracks and hated them far less live that I had predicted, I do despair when a band's 'amaaayzzingness' is directly proportional to the popularity of the man their bass player is humping.
Thanks for the hug t'other Anon. I'm hoping I still qualify as "lovely" even though I've got raging PMS.
And can anybody tell me why someone would want to quote the below comment of mine?

Illiterate lummox!
Mayo hey how was your Monday? I can tell you Tuesday was showers and cool, though not overall unpleasant. I'm feeling pretty good today- hooray! I'm always a much nicer person when I feel well.
So wishing blue skies, green fields, cool forests and warm sunshine to you and yours much love EP xx
SS how are you? Well I hope? Are you still feeling bittersweet? It always just brings the song to mind, older aussie band, you probably wouldn't know them, but if you want a listen, Hoodoo Gurus, best album in my opinion Stoneage Romeos, and they were great live, over here we have beer gardens, outdoor areas at pubs, I saw lots of bands that way, playing then stopping for a beer, just standing about with everyone. Great days.
So sending you inner peace, calm and beauty lotsa love EP xx
thank you for the hugs anon!
Hopefully the vultures will get what they deserve.

Truly profound and awe-inspiring lyrics!
Obviously inspired by all the love around him.
Hi FASC!
You just know in 30 years time we're still going to be nostalgic for that stuff and our grandkids will be like, "what the hell is a 'Frerard' when it's at home?!"
Oh, and I think our host would love it - as The World's Hottest Tennis Player© once said, "My friend, there is nothing so sexy as a woman who is angry. Perhaps when she is even throwing things.". Mayo probably gets off on the idea of a beatdown by a pre-menstrual lady - after all every man likes angry sex with no chance of conception!
Have-a-good-one-to-you-too,
Kass xx
...the shitty rock clubs are alive, with the sound of crappy music! ah ahaha ♪ ♬
Hi Anons!
It's very wrong by I liked Get It Up. Also Pay For It and Stupid MF
But then Britney's 3rd album is one of my favourites of all time, so I have, at best, very dubious taste in music!
Kass xx
Kass, Get it Up is the quintessential love song, for all husbands that love their wives with all their fucking heart.
Can't you just picture him singing it to her?
I wanna make you horny
but I can't get it up la la!

Good morning/afternoon/evening Mayo, SS, Miranth, Kass, Ergo, Martha, FASC, Possum, RW, watchers, lurkers, all friendly folks of blogbelieve!
How are you all today? I hope the sun is shining/stars are twinkling for you all!
Mayo: Sorry about the mess! We have a cleaning crew coming in about an hour. The place should be all tidied up by nightfall! Umm……just don’t go in that closet. If you do, don’t touch ANYTHING. Who knew sheep were such messy lovers!
Kass: Wonderful news about your ankle!! I know you are a very active woman and the inactivity probably bothered you more than the injury itself. So, HOORAY for being almost healed! I am also very pleased because you are now using my real, actual name! *big smile* Also, I keep forgetting to offer my condolences on the blues losing to the reds. Oh well, there’s ALWAYS next year. That’s a saying we Saints fans use often! ;)
Amy: Thank you for sharing your birthday with us and for your wonderful birthday advice! Very true words!
Miranth: I’m so sorry you missed Amy’s party! We missed you! I had a special HURRICANE made just for you. I think maybe Martha drank it - for medicinal purposes, of course!
Anonymous: Thank you for the FREE HUGS! I love the free hugs campaign and Sick Puppies! 10,000 signatures!!! That was great, wasn’t it?!
To ponder (or think about *wink) today (for all friends):

"Kass, Get it Up is the quintessential love song, for all husbands that love their wives with all their fucking heart.
Thank you. You have brightened my morning immeasurably Anon. But is it her face or her body?!
Why can't people marry for love? Why in all the worlds does a talented man HAVE to marry an equally talented woman or people complain? And who's to say he doesn't love her, even if he married her rather quickly?
I have a question; how did everyone come to find this blog in the first place?
anon, it looks like he will be screaming his passionate love well into the future, cause it seems like a mismatch.
And love is not enough for a marriage to work. research has shown the most successful ones are when couples are similar in outlook and IQ.
It's certainly not her mind Kass!
Then how do people who aren't around the two of them every day judge whether or not they have a good marriage? .__.;;
My mother and father have a good marriage, despite being incredibly different in every way, shape, and form. If anyone came along and judged their marriage based on what THEY saw (which might not be great), I'd be really upset.
Anon 1,
Do you think she married him for love? None of the Anons who come here to say that he really loves here ever answer that question, and the answer is integral to whether or not you believe their marriage is healthy.
Anon 2,
The link to Loveman's blog was posted on Buzznet. The link to Mayo was posted on Loveman - as Mayo was originally intended to rebuff her claims.
Anon 3,
True. They're both similar ages, similar backgrounds and similarly artistic, but he seems like a thoughtful kind of guy whilst she comes across as a f***ing imbecile. Though not stupid enough to exploit his fame for all it's worth, which does make you question her motives - see above (Anon 1).
Like I said, I'm feeling extra-hormonally bitchy today!!
Kass xx
We don't know, but it's funny how he is jumping up and down, and she's rather smug about it.
If I had a friend with a similar disposition and intelligence to him, and he introduced me to someone like her, I would question it. And I know that everyone around me would do the same.
I wonder if he's proud of her, not in an arm candy type of way, but really respects her, because I just don't see it.
...shhh!...do not disturb...marks of love in progress
The three anons are me, Kass. ;)
For your "Anon 1" question, I can't answer that because I can't see her heart. If I had to answer, I'd say "yes," she did marry him for love.
For your "Anon 2" answer, thanks.
For your "Anon 3" answer, okay, that does make sense, and I'm glad you said "seems" instead of "is" like so many other people do.
May 13, 2008 7:04 AM, for Gerard's sake, I hope you're wrong.
No problem Anon @ 7.09am!
I hope you're right and they do live happily ever after - I'm a grown woman and he's not my type even if he is very pretty! - but I've seen friends screwed over because the people they truly loved had a hidden agenda, and I don't like to see that happening to anyone whether I know them personally or not.
I try to give the girl the benefit of the doubt but she doesn't always make it easy!!
Kass xx
I do think he's a little naive. .__.
I'll give you that.
7:09
If he feels this is the right union, well then all these comments will be like water off a duck's back.
Why should he care what others think if they are so "in love"? It's his marriage. I personally would consider a completely different partner. One day she will be the mother of his children. He must of thought of that too.
But, I mean...I do think it could POSSIBLY be a "desperation" marriage; he'd just broken an engagement with Eliza Cuts. And he doesn't have the greatest amount of self-esteem in the world. :/ (I don't know how on Earth that's possible, considering I think he's one of the most gorgeous men on the face of the planet...)
But...I don't know. .__. I'm willing to consider the fact that he could've married her out of desperation, but I don't BELIEVE he did...if that makes any sense?
Definition of Sexual Harassment:
(The following is base on a definition provided by the Equal Employment Opportunity commission (EEOC). The underlined portions reflect coverage of students under Title XI of the Educational Amendments of 1971)
Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature.
When
1. submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly as term or condition of person's employment or a student's academic success;
2. submission to, or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment or academic decisions affecting such individuals;
3. such conduct unreasonably interferes with an individual's work or academic performance or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive working, or learning environment.
Over the years, the courts have used the above definition to define two distinct forms of illegal sexual harassment;
1. Quidpro quo, which means "this for that" or "something for something" and is typified by the first two conditions above.
2. Hostile environment, which is typified by the third condition above.
Yardstick For Evaluating Behaviors That May Be Sexual Harassment
For a common sense, everyday way of looking at behavior to help recognize sexual harassment when it occurs, evaluate the behavior using the following "yardstick"
Sexual harassment is behavior that:
1. is unwanted or unwelcome
2. is sexual in nature or gender-based;
3. is severe, pervasive and/or repeated;
4. has an adverse impact on the workplace or academic environment;
5. often occurs in the context of a relationship where one person has more formal power that the other (such as a supervisor over an employee, or a faculty member over a student) or more informal power (such as one peer over another)
"Why should he care what others think if they are so "in love"? It's his marriage. I personally would consider a completely different partner. One day she will be the mother of his children. He must of thought of that too."
I'm not sure if HE cares, but I think it's rude to make attacks on her for being "talentless" and the like.
If people are making comments about her lack of talent, they are expressing their opinion, something I believe he ALWAYS encouraged, as well as individuality.
I'm sure he has negative opinions of people as well. And he seems to express these so eloquently.
He might encourage it, but he also encouraged his audience to "go fuck yourselves," something that a lot of people definitely disagree with.
I don't think it's right, whether or not he encourages or even /does/ it, to say things like that.
7:25 if people don't like her, they don't like her.
Are you expecting constant praise? That's not how adults think. If you are in the public eye, you have to learn to separate yourself from this form of criticism. Because it will always be there.

Errmm, she plays in MINDLESS SELF INDULGENCE if you didn't know. The band manifesto is pissing people off and provoking comment!
Heat/Kitchen anyone?!
Kass xx
I know she's in MSI, and I know MSI is pretty nasty (I'm particularly annoyed that JU called GW "a fat panda," even if he was kidding).
It just bothers me when people try to judge their marriage and even try to get involved (some people have) when they don't know what's really going on (and neither do I).
Mayo,
Buzz, buzz, buzz, what's that? I can't hear you. What? You can't hear us either. Damnit man! SHOULD WE ALL SCREAM?? No, that doesn't solve anything at all, does it? Well, today, I don't have the energy or any particulary sparkly words to catch the eye of BlogBelieve. I mean, how in the world can I compete with such ugliness and hatred being spewed about this place. It's ridiculous. I almost thought this could be a place where we could come to escape some of the harsh realites of the "real" world.
Almost.
Now, I'm just disgusted or as Emma would say DISCUSSED with it all.
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
Buzz, buzz, buzz...am I getting through at all?
What? Was that a yes or no?
Dude, throw up some hand signals or something.
Thanks.
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. Peace.
Sexual Assault
New York City Alliance Against Sexual Assault
Sexual assault almost always involves sexual intercourse oral or anal intercourse or the penetration or touching of the genitals or anal orifice with a part of the body or an inanimate object. It can be committed by one or more persons against another who is unwilling or unable to physically, mentally or legally consent to the sexual act. In recent years, many states have amended their laws concerning sexual assault to make such crimes gender-neutral that is, sexual assault can be by a male against a female, male against male, female against male, or female against female. (All statutes discussed in this summary are current through 1992 unless otherwise indicated. Source: National Center for Victims of Crime, Legislative Database.)
Aside from laws describing and prohibiting the act of sexual assault, other special problems and considerations concerning sexual assault proceedings in the criminal justice process have arisen. Specific problems developed because of the intimate nature of such an act of violence as sexual assault, coupled with the principle in our system of justice that an accused is innocent unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Often, a primary question in a prosecution of a sexual assault case is whether the victim consented to the sexual act with the accused; then, in the absence of corroborating evidence, it becomes a question of who is more believable the perpetrator or the victim. Frequently, these proceedings are embarrassing and humiliating to the victim because aspects of the victim's past sexual history and reputation can become the subject of intense discussion and testimony in public trials.

7:34 I don't understand, who is trying to get involved in his marriage. I know I lot of people think it's laughable, and he has to live with that. But they are only opinions.
Anon(s),
Want to analyze my relationship? Mine is way more interesting. I promise. I would even enjoy the free therapy and advice.
When in the end it doesn't matter anyway, right?
Give Gerard and LynZ a break, damn.
His life, his wife, his choice.
I don't think it warrants writing a thesis about it, do you?
Not everybody is acting like they're just opinions.
7:40 the only people that can break a marriage, are the people within the marriage.
It's called choice, regardless of what is "construed" as pressure. You are responsible for your own choices.
"7:40 the only people that can break a marriage, are the people within the marriage.

I never said that wasn't true.
Well, it shouldn't matter how anyone acts, they should just ignore it. They are not part of the partnership.

"It just bothers me when people try to judge their marriage and even try to get involved (some people have) when they don't know what's really going on (and neither do I)."
Try NOT judging someone else's relationship and you'll find it impossible, but sadly that's the human condition!
What you have to remember is that Gerard and Lyn-Z put their relationship in front of a lot of people who simply wanted to go to a rock show, and like Brangelina or TomKat before them, if you put it in the public you will be seen as fair game.
2½ years ago we didn't even know his girlfriend's real name and, not un-coincidentally - even taking into account the band's relative level of success - they weren't discussed.
Kass xx
I don't. *shrugs*
If he'd married someone unknown, I don't think people would've found out, but say he did marry Lyn-Z for love (I believe he did)...he couldn't just not marry her because it would definitely become publicized.
I mean, he COULD, but...that doesn't seem right to me.
He couldn't just not marry her?
0_0
Have you heard of a thing called dating, getting to know somebody, long engagements, living together for awhile first, finding out if you are a compatible couple?
This isn't what I meant; I meant that I don't think it would be right to not marry someone because people would find out.
anon, celebrities marry privately all the time, and yes it does eventually get leaked, but it doesn't become a circus. Maybe high emotions, got the better of the two.
My marriage will be more traditional.
I also believe he married for love* - maybe slightly accelerated by Mikey, him turning 30, etc... - but they could have done so without actively forcing it down fans throats. If you dared visit Buzznet and INO during the Projekt Revolution tour, all the talk was about his shout-outs, the love bites and the permanent marker scrawlings & how they matched up, NOT the music.
I'm not here to tell you how a couple should celebrate their love, but if you do it in such an over-the-top way there will be an inevitable backlash.
The decision to take MSI on tour is also relevant as to why a lot of people don't respect/entirely trust her, but that's been done to death already!
Kass xx
*No really! Search back through 8 months worth of comments if you don't believe me...
Maybe he didn't expect it, then; as I said before, he isn't always extremely mature about some things.
Kass, I actually thought the marker words and drawings were pretty cute. :P
Are you getting married soon anonymous? Congrats to you.
Actually it's ALL been done to death but it's a slow day in the office and you all seem pretty friendly!
I ♥ GER-Z 4EVA!!
There you go, I can be nice too...
8:09, what on earth are you talking about?
Kass: Hahaha...
anon, some people are opposed to having their life dissected before their eyes, especially when they themselves did not choose to live in the public domain.
I prefer as normal an existence as possible. Anonymity has a lot of rewards.
You are nice and respectful Kassiopeia.

Well, you get the general idea!
Kass xx
Maybe it was partially a stab at Eliza; all the better, I don't much like her.
8:14 We were discussing celebrity marriages. Just an opinion.
And besides, we are in a sea of anons.

Smart choice.
May 13, 2008 8:18 AM Anon, I'm still not sure what you were getting at. Most celebrities choose to be in the public eye.
8:20 yes, but some celebrity partners do not.
I'm still confused. Gerard and Lyn-Z chose to be in the public eye (which doesn't necessarily help my argument). Perhaps not as a couple, but...

"Maybe it was partially a stab at Eliza; all the better, I don't much like her."
And what better way to demonstrate to the World why you got your deranged ass canned than that particular work of 'fiction'!
If you haven't read her magnus opus about "Paul" & "Emma" I heartily recommend it. A couple of the more ridiculous sex scenes from Jackie Collins cut and pasted in and it would have been pure trash perfection!
I think the link is on the first page of comments from a couple of Mayo posts ago.
Kass xx
8.20 Not all celebrity partners choose to be in the pulic eye. Some prefer remaining in the background and being as anonymous as possible. Not everybody wants the spotlight.

I'm aware of that; that's why I said "most" instead of "all." Please read my comment before Kass's to see why I'm confused.
8:24 my point exactly. Not everyone is interested in being known. They are secure enough as they are. The quiet achievers.
8.26
I think two of us anons have moved away from Gerard and Lynz.
^_~
8:23 I'm unclear about what you are trying to say.
Anons,
It's been nice to 'meet' you and discuss this stuff rationally - which might be a first! - but I should get back to doing something more conducive to getting paid!
Have a great day,
Kass xx
8.29
I think there's a lot to said for quiet achievers.
Kass, great minds think alike. Have a great day!
Ah, forget it, it isn't important. :P
Bye, Kass!
Have a great day kassiopeia.
Best wishes for a normal, quiet, traditional life 8.29
8:33 your power is not contained in how loud you shout, but how tenacious and persistent you are.
The quiet achievers are like the "support and frame" of a house. You never see them, but they hold you up. :)
8:35 I certainly will. And my future babies won't be tormented by others trying to take a picture of them.
Ah, the price of fame!
8.37
Thanks for the appreciation and understanding of the "quiet achievers".
Have a great day.
You too 8:42
Good morning BlogBelieve!
I’m about to write a doozy so bear with me. (I actually questioned whether or not to put bear or bare?!?! O_O) I'm still not sure! It's early! STFU!
Gerard and LynZ:
Don’t really care one way or another. I have always felt a little iffy about her but that’s not my call to make. Maybe he does love her. Maybe she really loves him. My whole thing is if she has such bad problems and is no good for him then someone needs to help her. I’d hate for people to judge me just based on things my husband has done. Sweet Jesus. O_O
I just hope for nothing but the best for them. I hope it all works out. I just want him to be okay and happy. That’s it.
Amy:
I hope you had a lovely birthday!
To the sick, twisted individuals who keep trashing Kapunua:
I seriously don’t get what you’re trying to do. Hurt someone because of what? Why? What did she do? Try to help and stick up for her friend? Ask for advice about it? See, the thing is, you think you’ve hurt her when in reality, you can’t. She is stronger than that. So, you failed. Epically, I might add. I just hope that you never see the day where one of your friends, a sister, your mother or possibly even you are in a similar situation as her friend. What will you do? Think about it.
Which leads me to…..
Karma Anon:
Thank you. You just took the words right out of my mouth. No one is exempt, including me. What you do will come right back around so think before you speak and before you act.
People, there are horrible things going on in the world right now, so try to focus on helping someone instead of hurting them and see what happens. I promise that you’ll feel a helluva lot better.
Mayo,
Wassup? You lurking? Go clean my room. ^_~
SS!!!!
You know what’s up, don’t you? I know you understand what I’m talking about. Hell, most of it I got from you anyway! Hahaha. I hope you know how many people you’ve influenced here. Keep fighting the good fight, dude. No doubt in my mind that you've got some folks here that will be fighting right there with ya.
Always.
BB, Mayo and SS,
I’d like to post some lyrics that I’ve posted before but I just like them so deal with it. Basically, ah hell, just read them. You’ll get it.
"When You Love Someone"
I tell you it will shake the earth beneath your feet
The light that shines will redefine your old beliefs
What you reap is what you sow and so it goes
Where you plant your needs is where your garden grows
Before you think about yourself
Think of someone else, it will make you feel
Each day ain't wine and roses
I doubt it's meant to be
Always a cross to bear salvation don't come free
A heart that beats is a heart that bleeds
And you know that's true
So don't deny yourself of something good for you
Before you do it for yourself, do it for someone else
That makes it real
[Chorus:]
'Cause when you love someone
It don't matter what you say
When you love someone
You will dance the night away
When you love someone
There ain't nothing you can't do
Ain't that right
Yeah I want to love someone tonight
Will you believe in love or just sit around and judge?
Can you forgive someone or will u hold a grudge?
Cuz above selfishness there lies a bright blue sky
And wealth and happiness can be a long and lonesome ride
Yes it's hard to steer yourself
Without that someone else to take the wheel
Take the wheel
[Chorus]
Do you believe in the art of growing old
Do you believe that rock n roll can save your soul
Do you believe in everything you do
Cuz when you do that's when it all comes back to you
Before you think about yourself
Think of someone else
Do it for yourself
And do it for someone else
When you love someone -
Love you all! Have a great day!
Maybe I didn't ramble too much.
If I did, ummmm, deal with it! ^_^
Never in my life have I witnessed people be so mean, so vile, so uncaring, as I have here, on the damn internet, in the past few weeks.
It's sickening the lengths some people will go to prove a point, a point I'm still trying to figure out.
Look the fuck around people. There are people dying. There are thousands of people dead overseas, and the death toll keeps on rising. There is a fucking war going on where people, brothers, mothers, fathers, daughters, are losing their lives every day. And what are you doing? You're sitting in front of the damn computer, harassing someone for no good reason.
There are so many more important things your relentlessness can be used for, yet you choose to use it here. Go out and do something productive.
There's plenty of ugly shit in the world, and I'll be damned if I want to come here and read yours.
Mayo:
My apologies, but enough is enough. I know you understand.
I hope you have a pleasant day today!
SS:
Karma is an ass-biter, and as Smoke said, thank you for instilling us, those who listened, with some wisdom.
Have a great day! See you around!
Haven't said good morning to everyone in a long time. I'm always so rushed but you know I think it's an important way to start the day. So GOOD MORNING ALL.
Now back to being rushed.
Smoke:
Forgot to say, but those lyrics are awesome, and said just what needed to be said about karma. Justin wasn't too far off the mark, huh? ;)
*starts singing*
"What goes around comes back around..."
All the Karma comments make me laugh. My mom is named Karma. And she isn't a bitch. Most of the time. :)

Then get off the internet and do something about all the dying people instead of whining, twat. Simple as that.
Wife, let my words slowly undress you
Music--moody food
Of us that trade in love.
i love you with all my fucking heart
like, i luv you, like too xD

have a wonderful day
Whew, caught up.
Hey guys,
Thank you to everyone, yet again, who told those people to go hang last night. I appreciate it.
S(S)S, I am pretty sure I heard your voice at 1:07 1:19. AMIRITE? You are a gentleman, as always. Thank you.
9:53, you're an ass. Don't assume that just because someone takes the time to point up your ridiculous behavior towards someone you've never met, that she doesn't do worlds of good outside the internet as well. Being kind online does not preclude being kind offline; in fact it probably rather reinforces it. But you'd never understand that, would you?
Hey Fimble Star, Splash, Elena, Princess and Solly if you guys are around! Kass, it's always such a pleasure to read you, too. ^_^
Well, gotta run, have to clean my damn house for company. :)
Oh, and SWA, I want to thank you, too. That's a great picture. ^_^
Afternoon Blogbelieve!
Fun times last night (obviously I'm disregarding the anon bs). Shaunette it was a pleasure to see you celebrating with us. You know it's a real party when you show up! *pets Shaunette* You are the best sheep in all the land.
It's Me, glad you could unwind with us. Hope you had fun. And thank you again for your words.
Amyranth, your 'Old Testa-naise' was too funny. Thank you for that!
Ummm, what else did I want to say?
Can't remember. I need to get back to work.
Wishing you all a beautiful day.
♥
I'm sorry, that wasn't SS.
And how do you know, 12:21?
Actually, unless you are SS, I'm sorry, but I need to just disregard anything you say. I'm sure you can understand that I don't want to talk to anons unless they distinguish themselves from the others, or regs posing as anons.
Because they were me, Kapunua.
Sorry to dissapoint.
Fabulous Fraggle-related news! Is it wrong that Gobo reminds me of GW? They sound exactly the same, I tells thee!
Thanks to whoever said I was "nice and respectful" - it doesn't happen a lot so cherish the moment!
Good night and God bless you all,
Kass xx
So Kapunua after you're done cleaning your house mine could use a bit of cleaning too....
Just puttin' that out there. LOL
That is what you get for being nice, anon, ignored 'cause you are not SS.
Umm, what happened to my name?
*waves* Hi Kapunua, Kass, Elena, and Anon.
I'll be right over, Elena. ^_^
Hey Anima! How's it going?
I personally don't blame her for not talking to strangers after what happened. And you're already twisting her words so even I don't trust you. And I am one of the strangers.
What the fuck? 12:27, you're a liar.
1:07, 1:09, 1:19 was me.
I'm not SS, but I'm not that other person, either...uh, not that anyone can tell with all these anonynames, but still.
Don't be a liar, that counts against your karma too. :p
It's going okay Kapunua. Apparently I had an identity crisis up above. Ani is kinda cute though.
I'm listening to In Rainbows, trying to get through this data entry hell. :/
How are you?
Anima I wondered about your name too!
Kapunua I'll just leave the door unlocked. Be ready for Jake to love you. He loves people he's never met.
No, sorry those were all me, why are you purposely trying to confuse her?
What a bunch of mean sons of bitches you lot are.
I'll catch you later Elena, Anima. ^_^
... ...Okay! Uh, I'm not going to argue, since it's pointless without a signed in name. If you want to be all no-I'm-Spartacus about it, you go right ahead? I guess?
Shushing now. Sorry, guys.
Elena, Jake is so sweet. I wish I was at home with the pups today. We had a terrible storm last night. Thunder shaking the whole house. The pups were cuddled up close to us. They were scared. Awww, poor things.
See you later Kapunua.
Take care Kapunua
Don't let them get to you.
Mayo, what are you doing?
Just wondering.
Mayo is not going to answer you when he knows that Lapdog is lurking. And since she is going ot be home alot lately she is going to be lurking alot so he is never going come out and talk anymore.
Anima
Jake's new trick is to stand in front of the door and refuse to move until you pet him. Doesn't matter if your arms are full. You have to put your stuff down so you can pet him. Then he lets you in the house.
P.S. Elena, I almost forgot, Milia told me to send you doggy kisses.
I know, she's silly like that. She misses your snuggles. :)
...
Okay, gotta get back to the grind.
That sounds like a sneaky little trick he's got there!
Oh anon shut up. Really do you know how stupid you sound?
Mayo has said over and over he likes each and every one of us. So stop, just stop.
Kapunua is Mayo's Eliza.
12:58, shush it. It is not even close to the truth.
Ok I have to say it! I agree that Mayo does NOT like Kapu but I am not one of the nasty anons. I have never signed in and I always thought that K was smart and insightful. I also think that she is better off without "friends" LIke Mayo!
Kapunua, I know you like Mayo, you have said so many times. I am the one who said to you, that saying good night to him was a waste of your time. I am glad you stopped NOT because I didn't like your words but because they were wasted on him.
When Mayo posted the other night some one (sorry forgot who) said to Mayo to just SAY he had no problem with Kapunua, it was his opportunity to shut people up once and for all when they say he hates her. He said nothing but "I would fight for all of you" and that is BULLSHIT because Mayo has never fought for any of you.
Kapunua I am truly truly sorry for what happened to you but you are so much better off without your SHIT boss and your SHIT job and your SHIT friends who let you take the bullet for them. And you are better than Mayo and you are better off without his quote unquote "friendship".
Sorry I know you people like him but..... I think he is a fake friend. You don't have to agree with me but it was good to get it off my chest.
I'm not sticking around today, it's a little scary in here.
Amyranth: I was talking to you last night and completely forgot to say "Happy Birthday." Have many, many more!
Some words of wisdom I happened to find today:
Be who you are and say what you feel because those that matter don't mind. And those that mind, don't matter.
I was Karma anon. I'm not SS. Please, stop.
anonymous said...
quote unquote "friendship".
Not sure if this was deliberate or not but it was absolutely hilarious.
Yep anon lots of us do like Mayo. You are entitled to your opinion.
I don't understand it but whatever. However saying that Mayo doesn't like Kapunua is your opinion and one I feel is wrong.
The Lovelies and Mayo have a strange but wonderful relationship. Sorry you just don't get it.
Elena maybe YOU and Mayo have a "strange but wonderful" relationship with Mayo but there are others I guess you don't care about that he always ignore. And others that he used to talk to but now has cut out of his blog life. But as long as he keeps your words on his page you don't care do you? He is a shitty friend and too much of a pussy to stand up for people. SS must be as busy as Mayo always says he is yet he always seems to actually defend and fight for you doesn't he. Wow how strange.
"cut out of his blog life."
That made me giggle. :)
Anon, Mayo doesn't talk to me and you know what, it's all good (actually he did answer one of my questions a long long time ago). Would I like a little hello, sure, but I'm not going make him feel bad for not doing so. I like him and that's all there is to it. I hope he likes me around here too. Mayo and SS are different people. It seems silly to compare the two. I hear what you are saying, I really do, but there is no reason to make another person feel bad because Mayo chose to save their words.
Hello everybody!
How are you today?
Anon I care about everyone on this blog. How dare you say that I don't?
This blog is made up of wonderful, unique women. We all bring something special to the table. People like you see this and try to say things to cause division.
Mayo has repeatedly said how special we ALL are, how it is All of us who make this place special.
Ewww, I'm watching CSI Miami and one of the cops has a nail in the right eye.
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
Scarred for life!!!!!!!!
Mayo totally loves us. Right Mr. Naise? Hell yes you do!
...
Guten Tag, Siobhan!
Guten Tag, Anima! ❀
How are you?
"Mayo has repeatedly said how special we ALL are, how it is All of us who make this place special."
And I will proudly include myself with the 'All.' Makes me feel warm and cozy.
Hi again...sorry for causing a little fuss up there. I should have known the other anons would turn it into some weird bullshit, but I was overcome with a fit of WTF and evidently couldn't keep it to myself. I wasn't trying to be a shit-disturber. So, again, sorry if it seemed that way, especially to Kapunua.
Maybe this'll make someone smile:
I won't stop telling these dicks to stop being dicks, but I guess I will choose my lame internet battles wisely from now on. Seeya!
Hi Elena, hi Anima, hope you ladies are alright today.
I, however, am becoming sorely weary of all these people with nothing else to do but come to a place they're not invited and trash us all. Yes, US ALL, because once you start trashing one Lovely, you end up trashing us all.
Take it from someone who's been too much on the receiving end of anon abuse, Anons. It is NOT pleasant, endearing, thrilling, or even fun. It's a pain in the fucking ass to get chewed on every time you show up signed in. Hell, I've even been accused of being here anonymously when I most certainly wasn't.
Not saying that others haven't been slammed. Yeah, some have, but not so many that everyone here can say they've had the same experience. And that's good, actually. I don't want my friends getting the same treatment I've gotten in the past.
If you hateful Vultures only come here to be verbally abusive to any of us--and that includes Mayo and SS--I pity all of you. Seriously, I thought that when I grew up bullies went away or, Heaven forbid, grew up too.
I've found that to be completely false.
Bullies come in all ages, all shapes and sizes, both genders, all economic backgrounds, every intelligence level. One thing they all have in common?
The need to hurt people.
One question: have any of you Vultures ever been on the other side of the venom?
J
Siobhan, I'm good. Trying to get some work done...but somehow I always end up still lurking. ;)
How are you? Seems you are having fun watching CSI!
...Er. It was SUPPOSED to be:
Now seeya, for actual.
OH WTF. Why isn't it working? Whatever, the URL is there. Haha, I'm a dunce. BYE.
That's funny OPS since you were the ones who gave out "the venom" and got caught!
Hey J, siobhan, anima
Sorry I keep popping in and out but I'm surrounded by about 200 books I need to get processed. Crap I thought today would be slow at the store.
Disgusted, thanks for the link. It did make me smile. :)
You should pick a name and hang out with us again sometime.
Hi J!
you did not close your tag properly.
I'm back from work and enjoying my 'Feierabend'. :-D
Yes, this guy from CSI called Ryan gets hit in his eye with a nail shot from a nail gun.
They're now showing what has happened before he got hit and how it will actually happen.
Okay, I really gotta get some more stuff done.
Later!
I'm still pretty sick to my stomach over what went on in here last night.
If Mayo chooses to keep anonymous commenting enabled, could he not at least track IP addresses? Surely it can be done.
Appealing to people's better judgment & empathy obviously hasn't worked. Last night's attack was particularly vicious, and I'm shocked how quickly it's escalated into a brutal personal attack. I think the police need to get involved. I'm getting close to reporting this blog myself.
Hi Elena, you busy bee! ✿
How is it going?
Hi there, OP(J)! ❁
What's up?
I would miss SS if Mayo blocked anon comments. I think Mayo likes to post as anon sometimes too so he can join in without getting mobbed.
Bye Anima! Take care!
Hello RW! ✰
How is it hanging?
Welcome to the club, OPs. People have been sick of your big fat backwards Tennessee asses for a very long time.
Besides, who the hell do you think you are to decide who is or is not invited?
Yeah, I know that in your deluded minds you think you have such a "special" relationship with Mayo and SS (GWay and FI to you - yeah, you'll deny it, but you're both transparent as hell). Truth is, neither one of them gives a set of rat's testicles about either one of you, so get over yourselves.
BTW, I'm not a regular, I'm just a long-time lurker. Lol.
I have no doubt that Mayo converses with us as an anon. Disabling anon comments is not the point. Tracking vicious anon comments is.
Hi, Siobhan.
Sorry, I'm not in a very good mood.
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!
It just happened!!!
The nail!!!
The eye!!!!
*barfs*
The last thing Mayo wants is more attention drawn to this blog. The way things are going and the way you are all getting upset with him for not defending you, it wouldn't surprise me if he just closed it down.
How about completely ignoring the anons? If nobody, absolutely nobody, responds to them, they will get bored. It's no fun for them unless they see a reaction.
THEY GOT A GIRL FIRED FROM HER JOB! Whether you ignore them or not it doens't matter they still follow every word you say here!
IF Mayo = Gerard then I really can't see him going to the police re the cyber stalking, it would be too awkward, difficult and embarassing to even begin to explain about this blog. There's no way it wouldn't get leaked.
Besides, you heard him, 'we can take care of ourselves.'
How about completely ignoring the anons? If nobody, absolutely nobody, responds to them, they will get bored. It's no fun for them unless they see a reaction.
That's excellent advice. But it doesn't change what's already happened. Some's lost their livelihood. Ignoring won't change that. Tracing IP addresses could, at least, find who was behind that.
If that wasn't a brush off nothing was. "Oh I would fight for you. But I won't. Take care of yourselves".
I've been alive 40 years, have traveled fairly extensively & have lived all over the country. I've held down several diverse jobs, have attended two colleges & two universities and as a result have met a pretty wide range of people. Some of them have been kind, others not as much. But I have never before encountered the kind of blind hatred I see in here on a daily basis. Whatever it is that drives these people to try to systematically destroy another human being needs to be dealt with, not ignored.
One more time: This is Mayo's diary. It is not, and should not be, his responsibility. Hey, I hear you: it's upsetting. Believe me, I know this. But you can't hold him responsible for what random people do here. You can't hold Blogger responsible either.
I'm not getting into anything else, but I just had to say that.
I agree, RW, about the incredible menace I've witnessed here. I guess they want me to leave or something but they never actually said one way or another what they want. So in fact I don't know what to do except for continue to be myself and continue to enjoy myself, and my friends. ^_^
What good do you really think tracing IPs would do? The only action that could be taken would be to block that IP address in the future. ISPs don't give out names or addresses of the owner of a particular IP address unless there's a court order to do so. Laws have to be broken.
Sorry, but calling someone ugly or sending emails that result in having someone lose her job isn't against the law.
I personally hate what happened to Kapunua, but really, she should have been more careful. The internet is public and you have to be careful what you put out there.
Sorry, but calling someone ugly or sending emails that result in having someone lose her job isn't against the law.
Actually yeah it is.
I personally hate what happened to Kapunua, but really, she should have been more careful.
Blame the victim. She was asking for it? Did she ask them twice?
So I guess all that can be done is: if you don't like to see the hate here, leave.
Yes?
