There are so many things missing, last night
Last week, and now quieted by irreverence
Two feet deep and thick with sickness
We are lost and no longer linger. Still
I can reason your denial in difference
Came upon you for thought, and mine
I must say thrust upon me in shame.
I shut my book to save your eyes.
Who is lost in plain sight can speak
As you have always claimed, in truth.
p.s. with an uncompromised view for any other is...well, it is compromised.

it's too good to waste in hiding.

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.

Good thing there wasn't anything good to eat though.
So, goodnight, Mayo. I hope you're okay. I really do.
Damien, glad you're well! Thank you stopping in even though it was only for a few minutes.
You guys have a great evening and a great Friday.

It was nice work anon. And it seems the blog has died again
poor blog
*poke*
I saved a turtle this morning, he was on the road but a pissed off turtle behind your seat isn't great.
But I took him to the creek, even though he didn't appear to appreciate it
Mayo,
Boy did I build you up this morning only to let you down tonight? I made it sound like I was going to have this epic long 1000 word comment all ready for you. I swear that I don't know what's wrong with me lately. I am struggling to find anything useful to say to anyone these days.
Anyways, now that I have that out of the way...off I go.
Missing things. Missing, meaning what? You had them and you lost them? or are you like me and you probably never really had a good grasp on them to begin with? I am missing words, feelings, opportunties and probably other stuff. The deep and sick part..well, I can let myself get buried underneath lots of bullshit sometimes. And when that happens, I get fucking sick to my stomach of me, myself, and I. I cringe at the sound of my own voice. Mayo, I stay lost. I was lost on my backporch tonight in my own fucking head staring out at the grass. When I get that way, I run from myself but I fail to escape.
The reason part...like I talked about earlier. We all have our reasons. Hell, I'm damn good at creating them. Plus, I mean there's got to be a reason for everything right? Or is there? And what kind of reason is it? Logical? Scientific? Or is this our own little checks and balances system? The way we assure ourselves that we got this shit under control. That there has to be.....more to it than that.
But what if there isn't? Well, it's not going to stop me from looking for it. How about you?
I understand shutting your book. If people could really see my book, well...I'm not sure what they'd do because I've never let anyone see it. I think they'd be pretty sad and that would hurt me more than anything. It's your book, Mayo. Yours.
Truth...Here's another tricky one. If I believe something, does it make it true? Even if I believe it with my whole heart? What if I convince you of something? Does that make it true? All it takes is one person to believe in it. My version or yours? Truth...perception. The way we tell the tale. Can we be believed? Is there any reason to doubt? Are we hiding behind a mask of anonymity? Or do we speak the truth even when trying not to?
Still for it to be true, someone has to believe it.
I believe in lots of truths. Do I speak the truth? I don't know. You'd have to ask the people who listen to me babble I guess.
Guess I am done now.
Mayo, thank you, as always for making me think. I hope I continue to do the same for you.
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. All sides, all angles, all points of view.
oh you are such a great person to save the turtle.
I like turtles
Steven Tyler checked into rehab. What the hell, man, that dude was clean and sober for twenty years! WTF?
I don't know where he thought he was going but he should be safe now
K perhaps it's for prescription stuff
I can't believe it. Photobucket is working! Something with my DNS...whatever, no reason for it, but it is fixed! Yay!

Thanks again Anon.
It's hard not having a crutch. My parents were both alcoholics, they quit probably 20 years ago. Now they are big potheads. Some people need a softening of the edge.
carrie very true that one addiction is often just swapped for another, I really believe it;s more than a choice, that it's a psychological personality type
My internet went out for a little while.
I heard about the Steven tyler thing. I hear that not long ago he was at some concert that had a lot of drugs and parting
I leave you with long ramblings of my own issues and geekdom and stupidity disguised as a (spoiler free) movie review.
First, a little background. When I was a little girl, I was in absolute love with Indiana Jones, as I have mentioned. He was my best friend, my boyfriend, my teacher, and, err, my diary. I've always kept a journal of some kind, and when I was really little it was a diary, and then after I saw Raiders Of The Lost Ark on cable and became obsessed with it, my diary turned into a "Dear Indiana Jones" notebook. Instead of writing "dear diary," I wrote all of my thoughts to Indy. It's safe to assume by now that I was a little bit neurotic back then. (You're supposed to say in an incredulous voice, "Back then?") In my "Dear Indy" letters I would tell him all about my day at school, and the adventures I'd had. These "adventures" usually involved getting chased into the bathroom by mean girls, having the dice I'd made in shop class stolen, or getting beat up by David Guzman who was already about 6'3" in seventh grade. But it was important for me to tell Indiana Jones that I hadn't taken any of that stuff lying down: that like him, I'd at least tried to stand up for my rights, or more importantly, what I felt was the right thing to do. Outside of school, my adventures included things like going through the woods, traipsing through the swamp, and more extreme daredevil things like: jumping off of my friend's patio, jumping off the ten foot high monkey bars, climbing the highest tree then swinging down in front of oncoming cars on a rope and mad things like that. I remembered hearing that Harrison Ford had done many of his own stunts, and Indiana Jones, well, he was fearless. I decided then that I would do my own stunts and be fearless as well.
This was back in the day before VCRs and stuff. Clear as day I remember my Dad telling me through my bedroom door, "'Raiders' is on if you wanna see it!" My parents, ever indulgent, let me watch it anytime it was on Showtime or HBO. Like most movies that obsessed me for any length of time, I learned every word. I made (very few) my friends watch it. We played "Raiders Of The Lost Ark" every single day, and we all did our own stunts, of course.
Oh, a review of the new movie? Well, it was standard Indiana Jones: fun, amazing, ridiculous, stupid, hilarious, creepy, with dialog that is occasionally witty and occasionally retarded. (I said it during all three recent Star Wars movies and I'm saying it again: George Lucas has a tin ear. Dude needs to go out and listen to real people talk.) There were some mistakes in it, like the part where the cast of good guys spends about ten minutes having drastic relationships with water, rapids, waterfalls etc. and they come out of the water and then five seconds later they are all bone dry (and Indy has not lost his hat.) There were parts that were ludicrous, such as the parts with the monkeys, the ants, and the freaking snake. I wasn't wild about Mutt either. I thought they could have used the music much better than they had. A lot of it was car chases.
But damn it, it was Indiana Jones and there were parts that made me feel delighted and made me laugh. (Harrison Ford saying the line "I have a bad feeling about this," made me laugh, and I was the only person in the audience who did. WTF?) The part with the nuclear testing site was actually really, really creepy. (Although afterwards, am I totally wrong, or did he actually say "nucular?" O_o ) Also, I love the way it was shot: it looked like the first one. And another thing I appreciated was the lack of gratuitous violence and gore. You know that bad things are happening and people are getting shot and stuff, but their guts aren't flying out on your face and even though I can occasionally appreciate a movie where guts are flying out in your face, in this context its not necessary, so I was glad it wasn't there.
It also had the typically Indiana Jones Morals Of The Story: Be knowledgable but don't live inside of books; Be curious but don't ask for the answer to everything because it will destroy you; Greed will kill you; You can't keep all the treasure; Stay in school; Face your fears. And the sneaky one that often makes its way into some of these movies: No matter how good your intentions are, something probably still wants to kill you.
Mostly though, and most importantly, it brought back the first movie for me, and how that one made me feel, which was totally inspired to have adventures. Part of what got me so worked up about Indiana Jones was that, snakes aside, he was fearless. He could walk into a room full of like zombies or nazis and be like, "Well, this sucks. What can I do to get out of it?" He never let fear get in the way of reason. That's another thing I wrote about a lot when I was a kid, was wanting to be that way. I remember making the conscious decision after I'd seen Raiders Of The Lost Ark to not be afraid of typical things that kids were afraid of, like the dark, ghosts, spiders, zombies, bugs, caves, the forest and things like that. Because as a child I was dreadfully fearful. I couldn't go into dark rooms, and zombies were going to kill me, and spiders and scorpions would sting me, and stuff like that. After the movie, I would test myself by going into dark rooms, walking through cemeteries, and, err, swinging out over moving cars on a rope hanging from a tree. So, okay, some of it wasn't exactly wise.
I think that when I was in Hawai'i and I was sneaking into that cave when I wasn't supposed to leave the tour, that was part of my Indiana Jones childhood telling me to do that. I think that the Kung Fu is a branch of the "do your own stunts" thing. I still have a tendency to think of cultural tchotchkes I've bought from Target as "artifacts." I do still keep a vest in the trunk of my car with a piece of rope, clean underwear, a pocketknife, a lighter, and a toothbrush because you never know. (The vest has about twenty pockets and one of them reads: Indiana Jones AdventureWear, I kid you not.)
Oh, and I do have the Indiana Jones hat, too.
gotta go for a bit
back soon
and, err, swinging out over moving cars on a rope hanging from a tree. So, okay, some of it wasn't exactly wise.
that actually made me gigglesnort. :)
great review/essay, kapunua. now c&p that baby and send it out to magazines.
yes. seriously.
oh, and good evening, everyone. :)
thank you, TJ. I can get, err, effusive and stuff. I wouldn't even begin to know where to send something like that. ^_^
I've been meaning to catch you online and tell you that if you get the chance, you should play the video game Okami. It's similar to Twilight Princess in a lot of ways (coughcough*ripoff*coughcough) but the theme is saving the environment. And the scenes in which you lift the curse and save the environment are so gorgeous that it gives me the all overs. The animation and gameplay are great, but the emotions behind the environmental issues are so lovely. I think you'd love it. I hope you get to play it.
Well, I'm off to bed. Catch you guys on the other side of night. ^_^
Goodnight kapu and hello tj
goodnight K sweet dreams
hi TJ
This emo weather is making my plants emo. And me, too, if it's not going to give me lightning.
please look into it, though, kapunua -- it's a great little piece, a very personal review!
and i've heard about that game -- the ads show great graphics. if there's a ps2-compatible version, i will definitely look into it. i love zelda ripoffs. *heh*
good night!
and hello ergo! you got your toro t-shirt! you know i was there -- he tried to escape, but we nabbed him again for you. :)
and that poem to kermie was adorable and lovely. i had to go "awwww" and feel homesick for my cat. *sigh*
and hello martha, and hello entropy. :)
i'm going back and forth between here, my emails, and a field guide site -- trying to identify a mystery tree here at my folks'. they've been here six or seven years and they haven't once gone to the library and checked out a field guide. :/
hello entropy
thanks TJ I still have the shirt on and Kermie is lying out on the grass.
She is defying the emo weather we are having too entropy!
Is your kitty with someone or getting taken care of? 'Cause, um, by now all alone, poor kitty.
And Hey! Hey Martha and Ergo, too!
Ooh, brave, Ergo!
oh, no, i wouldn't leave h.r.h. alone, entropy. she's living with her dad (my ex), and terrorizing his cat. *hehehe*
i don't know when i'm going to be able to have her with me again, now that i'm not returning to seattle. :(
TJ perhaps when you decide where to settle for longer you can get her
Aw, I'm sure someday. It'll all be good. :)
Kapunua, I loved reading your story. Thank you for sharing.
"Be knowledgable but don't live inside of books; Be curious but don't ask for the answer to everything because it will destroy you; Greed will kill you; You can't keep all the treasure; Stay in school; Face your fears."
I love this.
(Although I do wish I could embrace a good fiction book. Not live in it, but just get interested. Oh that's right, I have major ADD) :)
Hey again Martha, TJ, Entropy, Ergo. Night Kapunua.
"This emo weather is making my plants emo. And me, too, if it's not going to give me lightning."
Awww, hehe...
I totally feel you. :) Hope you get that lightning soon!
Oh damn, I posted fifteen minutes after the last one.
Goodnight everyone!
Happy dreams!
i hope so...i'll just have to wait and see, and in the meantime, at least she isn't with strangers.
Hi anima!
sweet dreams, sory I was trying on clothes, I'm off for the weekend and I'm trying to decide what to wear
brb got to meet the bus
They are doing an american version of life on mars
goodnight anima
it's dead in here again
oh wow I was gone 20 mins and nothing has happened here, where is everyone?
Hell I guess
oops - perhaps we shouldn't have done the survey!
I miss wendy barging in each night.
*BIG SMOOOOOOOOCH* for wendy, seeing as I'll be away two nights after this
oh hey people. i'm back, too. :)
Yeah, Wendy has been missing. Wendy where are you
hey TJ
so how have you been?
wendy has been busy I think, she had a bad toothache so maybe it's gotten worse again
Hello tj
it's been up and down, that's for sure, ergo, but i'm okay tonight.
where are you off to this weekend? wickedness? *grin*
hey martha -- you're not near that wildfire, are you?
Hello everyone.
hey cupcake, how are you tonight/today/this moment? :)
We are going to a town up the coast for a PBR bullriding show, and to see my grandma and aunt/uncle/cousin.
It should be good, we go to local rodeos a few times a year, but this is a really big one
Hi TJ, Martha, and ergo!
I hope you are all doing well?
ergo - poor Wendy! :( She was having computer problems... and couldn't make it here before but I didn't know about the toothache... I hope she feels better soon!
Hi TJ, I'm alright, exhausted though.
How are you? :)
hello cupcake how are you?
Hi cupcake, too! :)
Hello CC
Tj they are close in that it is a part of Nor Cal. But it is a good ways away
hi miranth
Hello Miranth
that's good to hear, martha. i just saw the news about it tonight, and was all "uh-oh". :)
i'm sorry to hear you're exhausted cupcake -- hope you'll get lots of good healthy rest soon.
ergo, i have to admit, i've been to a few rodeos in my day. couldn't grow up in montana and avoid them, tbh! they can be a lot of fun. :)
hey there miranth. :)
It's great that your area is safe, martha!
So, are the wildfires going to be particularly devastating this year? It sounds so scary ,as you said last night that the water restrictions haven't needed to be mandated in 20 years... O_O
cupcake, sorry to hear you are so tired. I remember we talked about insomnia/difficulty sleeping before..
TJ and ergo - rodeos sound like fun! I have never been to one, yet.
I don't know how it will work out to tell you the truth.
Hi Ergo, Miranth, MJ.
Thanks Miranth, how are you feeling?
miranth, rodeos are actually the best when you're an excitable 14-yr-old on the prowl for cute cowboys.
*wink*
martha - yes, I think that's scariest of all!
cupcake - I am feeling a little better, but I got ready to go out for a boating event and just could not go. The joint aching is horrific. I shall make a point to be extra solicitous of elderly people from now on. Are you having trouble sleeping? Or just too busy to lie down yet?
I'm glad you're feeling a little better Miranth. As for me... it's a little of both I have to say. And I just haven't been well.
TJ - At times I can act like an excitable 14 year old on the prowl for cute cowboys! ;) I'll have to see if there are any, locally... I mean rodeos... :) then the cute cowboys or should I say cowmen? :D
cc i hope you feel better.
well they are going to fight the firers. I don't think it will affect the water to much. this is nothing new so i am sure they have a plan for the water
MJ there have been major water restrictions in some areas of Aust for a few years now, noone is allowed to water lawns, or use hoses at all.
So people use buckets if they don't want plants to die.
We have underground water at our place but after the floods eary in the year all our dams are full. Down south they are at 20% or less, we desperately need rain
Thank you MJ.
cupcake - sorry to hear about not feeling well! :(
Do you know what's causing the unwell feeling?
TJ- I take it you've had experience cowboy-hunting at rodeos ;)
Naughty :)
miranth, if they can ride a horse and look good in the boots and hat, i say go for it!
well, i really ought to be going to bed. i have to get up early in the morning. :/
it was good to see you all -- i hope all the various ills remedy themselves.
sweet dreams, good night!
miranth there are usually a fair few cowboys after a cowgirl too!
I like bull riding and the horse work at rodeos , I don't really like bucking horses
miranth, i was jail-bait in tight levi's at the time, so my "experience" was decidedly one-sided, but it was still alot of fun.
see you later!
Not yet Miranth, I'm getting some tests done. Not a whole lot of fun, but it's always best to know what's going on. :)
cupcake sorry to hear you've been feeling bad, hope it can pass soon
posting on behalf of elena:
Mayo
Nope I'm not here tonight. Well, I sorta here cause I'm here in spirit. Does that count? I hope it does. Okay this is weird writing a goodnight this early in the day. Just seems off. How can I end my day when it's not over yet? Yeah, I know I've told you before but bear with me on this. Writing the goodnight makes me feel complete. Like my day is over but in talking about it I think that it had some meaning. I just snickered at that. I know many of my days go by and they are completely lacking in any meaning but still I like to pretend they meant something to someone. Oh the game of pretend is good. So it's just dawned on me I can't really write this like I'd like it to be so think I'll just stop now.
Take care of yourself Mayo. Please?
Goodnight
Elena (goodnight? Crap, it's only 3:30 in the afternoon)
martha - I am glad they have a plan! Even then, it looks like there are always difficulties they have to hurdle to put the fires out. At least that's what I see on the news...
ergo- I had heard Australia was facing similar problems... 'Global' warming affecting us all! Though now its called climate change. Is there any forecast for rain in the south of Australia? or not any time soon? :/
I'm sure it will Ergo, and thank you.
It's just a shame I haven't been around here lately, I miss you guys!
goodnight TJ
I bet you could still do jailbait in tight levis!
sweet dreams, see you on sunday (for you) monday (for me) and we know what day that is.......... :)
Goodnight TJ! Nice to see you again :) I am glad you have fun teenage memories!
cupcake - that's good to get as much info as possible for a better diagnosis. Sometimes you don't get an accurate one till they know what specialist to send you to. I hope you feel better soon!
ergo - bucking horse are scary! They are so powerful. I love going to the State Fair grounds and just watching them prepare the horses. I feel sorry that they are tied up, but a great deal safer!
well we are the driest continent on earth so you have to expect bad times
they are expecting a bit better rain this year, it's been a bit more this summer just gone than the last few years
It's the El Nino pattern we have trouble from, but it's been la Nina so they are hopeful, it'll be a long time to replenish though
Thanks Miranth. :)
Goodnight TJ, sweet dreams.
goodnight tj
ergo - at least its looking up this year. I do recall that a great deal of central Australia is desert landscape, but does it extend far south?
cupcake - we miss you, too! :)
The horses are such powerful animals but they are easily hurt, but a bull is half a tonne of muscle and feel very little pain, the rope around their back end just annoys them so they buck, most stop as soon as the rider is off,(they are all pretty used to it ) and I think it's a real test of skill against such a big strong animal. And the clowns are nuts but so amazing to watch
(bullfighting on the other hand is barbaric)
oh goodness yes miranth, drive in toward the centre for over an hour or 2 from anywhere around the coast and you're in the outback, all dry red dirt, scrub it's the aussie landscape. But the coast usually gets more rain.
ergo - I definitely have no interest in watching a bullfight. Do they actually kill the bull afterwards? *shudders* Poor beasties...
That's good that the bulls are trained to stop once the rider is unseated!!!
Clowns are kind of creepy, but I like them sometimes. My best friend has an extreme irrational fear of them, and she's not afraid of much!
Well you guys, I think it's time for me to go, I just wanted to drop by and confirm that I'm still alive!
*hugs for all*
xoxo cupcake
goodnight cc
anything that isn't green or blue is dryland, grassy scrub or desert
goodnight cupcake
miranth rodeo clowns are the guys who get the rider safe by distracting the bull I've seen them run at the bull as it runs at them and jump over them.they have the most dangerous job, the bulls are very angry and very big
The guys dress up sort of as clowns but are really athletic
I'll find a pic
clowns heading in to rescue a rider
Goodnight cupcake, take care of yourself :)
ergo - wow! I seem to recall there being more land with average or better rainfall when I was a child. Maybe I'm remembering incorrectly, but it was a long time ago...
Oh, I thought you were referring to regular clowns - for entertainment. That is cool that they can distract the bull safely - I hope!
I remember seeing a picture of a rodeo clown before, when I was a child...
Did Australia's climate change much over the last quarter century?
no miranth it's always been like that, perhaps your memory just just couldn't imagine it really being that dry. The outback is really beautiful I love going travelling out there, but yep we pretty much all live in a little thin band along the east coast and the south west corner - whole lotta nothing in between!
cattle and sheep properties are massive, whole american states could fit in the biggest ones.
And there are towns out west, especially where there are mines. But go to the middle and there is nothing.
But I love it!
ok I'm off for a while, I'll be back later but If I miss saying goodnight have a great tomorrow and weekend and I'll be back sunday
xx
Yes my memory must be faulty. It was a long time ago, now...
ergo - that is cool that in the outback, you could be alone for a bit, pretty cool. America has places out west like that, too. I haven't explored much over there, though. A friend and I were thinking of moving to Australia once, but it is so far away from family... I met Australians when I was on tour in the UK and they were so nice and friendly. We were like tour cousins :) Maybe one day, I'll make it over there... I can see from pictures and movies, too, why you love it so much! And the people are wonderful, too!
I'll be catching up and then do my summary post.
martha - are you still there?
mayo,
i thought about your post today. thought about it quite a lot, actually. and though i've managed to wring a meaning out of it, i know you probably layered a couple -- or more -- in there, didn't you?
no one can accuse you of being stingy. *grin*
so i'm aware i'm probably missing the mark with my interpretation, and i hope if that's the case you'll just sigh, smile fondly and tolerantly ("she does so like to dither, doesn't she?"), and move on to the next comment.
but i just can't shake the feeling i get when i read this one, mayo. it makes me sad. this post sounds so...defeated.
i want to be misinterpreting it, so very much.
do you know, when i was visiting my folks' last, my sister and i spent a day together. she took me around to her favorite places, which meant mostly the antique shops of the area.
it was fun -- one of them was even haunted, and in fact i had a very spooky moment there myself -- and i kept seeing things that made me think of all my friends here.
in one place, jumbled in on a table with knick-knacks and miscellaneous small items, i found a little wooden spool of silk thread, in the most delicate shade of pearl grey.
i couldn't help myself -- i unwound a length of it and wrapped it around my wrist, letting the spool dangle and fall to the floor. the end trailed off under the table, out of my sight. it could have lead off to anywhere.
my sister had no idea what i was doing, but then, i have a reputation in my family for...well, let's just say whimsy, shall we?
so she waited patiently, bemused by my smile, by the way i held out my wrist and admired the impromptu silken bracelet.
i didn't buy the thread. after a moment, i carefully rewrapped the spool and replaced it on the table.
i didn't need to buy it.
i already have my silk bracelet, invisible, but securely in place.
no matter what.
mayo, everything is going to be alright. head and heart need to be balanced, it's true, but neither one should be ignored. listen to your heart.
...i was about to advise you to allow yourself to be swayed by your heart's wisdom, but then i remembered you wrote that you are "precipitant". *grin*
and you also wrote: it all works out.
and so it will.
i believe this, completely, even when i'm at my darkest moments. even when fear has me in it's jaw.
it all works out, mayo.
whether you listen to your head or your heart, it will be okay. just don't hide anymore, alright? you're human too, you can come out into the yard and play with the rest of us.
take care, mayo-sama, breathe deep and walk your path with beauty. you have every right to it.
i am around
Hi martha - I am catching up and laughing at some of your comments which are hilarious. What was the spider thing you scared S&V20 with? I must've skimmed it.
the shopping and masturbating comment was hilarious.
^ perhaps we should give this comment a room :D
I only made it to limbo! I took it twice thinking I could at least make it to lust, but no *shakes head*
A few days ago I found a spider crawling on me i told s&v than the other day I found another one
*shudders* Usually they don't actually crawl ON you!
I am allergic to the stuff they inject in people. I was actually disfigured (facially) by daddy long leg venom, or whatever it is, at a catholic high school religious retreat. (It was mandatory or I wouldn't have been there.) All of the girls were screaming and running from me! I could barely see. Pretty traumatic!
Both time I found the spiders on me it was daddy long legs
Creepy, martha, they have the most venom-stuff in them for a spider of their size. Or at least that's the explanation the doctor gave me :)
Its good that you caught them!
Do your cats eat spiders?
I will have to yes. But I have never seen them do it. I hate spiders but my room is filed with daddy long legs.
Morning Mayo, Miranth & MJ!
I was going to give my IJ review, but I see Kapunua has done one already which I heartily agree with; so suspend your disbelief and enjoy the ride - it's nowhere near as offensive as The Phantom Menace!
Yay, I get to spend eternity with FASC, Wreck and K - the other heretics? Open your hearts, truly believe that Lyn-Z is a talented and independent 'artist' and we too can be saved. Oh, and an 'artist' with either a very firm grasp of irony or a hole where her brain should be. You've got to stop posting that interview link here because it raises my blood pressure. "Offensive", sweetie? Personally I find it "offensive" to be forced to sit through an opening act chosen purely because the lead singer of a rock band I admire is banging their bassist!
Still, at least all those budding, young female musicians now know to practice those pelvic floor exercises as well as their instruments. And breathe...
Have a nice day!
Kass xx
blogger is being bad
Hi kass!
martha - we have a lot of spiders, too. :/ I wasn't afraid of them before the incident^^, either.
*shudders*
hello kass i love reading your comments
i keep thinking something is crawling on me
Stop it, guys you're making me itchy - just like you couldn't stop scratching your head when the 'Nit nurse' turned up at your primary school to talk about headlice!
I need a coffee...
Kass xx
sorry kass
Goodnight martha and Kass!
It's too cold here to feel itchy - god its like a freezer!!!! *Brrrrr* It could be the illness though, as I have several layers on.
*shuddering*
PS - thanks for staying and talking, martha :)
Goodnight miranth and it was fun talking with you. Now go get in your bed and get nice and warm
Wendy! and Mustard! - I am going to Limbo too! We can speak to all the great Greek thinkers together!
Wendy - I hope your toothache gets better *hugs*
ergo - I forgot to say congratulations to your daughter for the award! *thumbs up*
Mayo So many things missing... quieted by irreverence…we are lost and no longer linger
refers to those that have left recently? As I realize (after catching up properly) that the first part of the poem could refer to those leaving and some not acknowledging it, at least not here. I believe people contact each other behind the scenes and that they really do care. (I also recall being very irreverent towards some anons though I don’t think that’s what the poem is about ;). I am closer to the night crew - and I do keep in touch with BC - I am glad I made a friend in her. She's a sweetheart ♥ and I thank you for this experience.
Mayo, in reference to this part of the poem - can speak As you have always claimed, in truth
I have a tendency to do that even when it's not recommended... thereby causing a lot of *blushes*! But you made me realize, sometimes I leave out the particulars, esp. when I recognize that people don't believe the basis of what I have to say... often, I don't have the power to influence what anyone chooses to believe, and perhaps, nor should I. As far as compromised views are concerned, I really don't know what to say, except that my perspective has undergone several shifts recently, and that wasn't necessarily a bad thing, :) though the core of my beliefs has changed surprisingly little. Anyway, I write all this to clarify my meaning as you stated that you find meaning through us.
PS - :) I actually laughed when I realized something from last night... though that may not have been the intention!
==============================
Have a Wonderful Friday, BlogBelieve!
*hugs* ;)
Thanks, martha ;) I will trrrrrrryyyy

take care ! xx
Mayo,
Hello, how are you doing? I hope you are well. Me? I'm good, just still wandering around my own head. It's a thousand wonders that I haven't gotten tangled up in that hot mess of shit. If I did, there would be no escape, the more I would struggle the tighter the knots would become and I would just have to sit there waiting to be found and rescued....hoping that if someone comes, they remembered to bring their Rambo knife to cut me loose.
WHAT? Yeah, it is one of those days where there's 7,965 words loose and running free in my brain and they are coming out in singular, solitary form, poetry, stories, lyrics, or just plain jibberish.
So what's your mind telling you today? Is it a beautiful story that makes sense? Are you the leading character? Do you already know how it's going to end?
Spoiler Alert?....are you kidding me? I don't want to know. Well, part of me does. I can't lie, but that's because I'm silly enough to think that I could change it.
Could I? Should I? Would that throw off the entire balance of things?
Possibly.
But balance is overrated anyfuckingway!
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. Are you looking for one more or one less?
Mayo,
I'd like to thank you for making me sing this song every morning this week. And every time I look at the title of this post.
Stand up fucking tall
Don't let them see your back
Take my fucking hand
And never be afraid again
What a way to start the day off! Ain't nobody gonna mess with me, damn it.
Anyhoo...
Have a good one, Mayo!!!
SS,
So how's the devil treating ya? Is he being good to you? If not let me know and I'll beat his ass. Bwah! Migraine medication talking, so feel free to ignore me. Or laugh. It's okay. I'd laugh at me. Have a good one, ummm, Damien! @_@
You all have a lovely Friday!
XOXO

Anima: You too? I'm SHOCKED! ;)
Miranth: Welcome to LIMBO! You, Mustard and I really should start planning a Garden/Meadow Party!
*wonders what level Mayo is in*
Ergo: I chose sex over food, LOL! Yes, it was a difficult decision. (pssst.....Not really, but I don't want to appear too strange *wink*)
HAPPY 16th BIRTHDAY to Kermie!!!!
Please give Kermie an extra scratch under the chin and behind the ears for me!

FASC: Thank you for putting together the results of the Hell quiz! It's good to know just how EVIL some of you are! ;)
*note to self: sleep with one eye open*
Amy: *hugs* Feel better soon!
To ponder today:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A sage presented a prince with a set of three small dolls. The prince was not amused.
"Am I a girl that you give me dolls?" he asked.
"This is a gift for a future king," said the man. "If you look carefully, you'll see a hole in the ear of each doll."
"So?"
The sage handed him a piece of string.
"Pass it through each doll," he said.
Intrigued, the prince picked up the first doll and put the string into the ear.
It came out from the other ear.
"This is one type of person," said the man. "Whatever you tell him, comes out from the other ear. He doesn't retain anything."
The prince put the string into the second doll. It came out from the mouth.
"This is the second type of person," said the man. "Whatever you tell him, he tells everybody else."
The prince picked up the third doll and repeated the process. The string did not reappear from anywhere else.
"This is the third type of person," said the man. "Whatever you tell him is locked up within him. It never comes out."
"What is the best type of person?" asked the prince.
The man handed him a fourth doll, in answer.
When the prince put the string into the doll, it came out from the other ear.
"Do it again," said the sage. The prince repeated the process. This time the string came out from the mouth. When he put the string in a third time, it did not come out at all.
"This is the best type of person," said the sage. "To be trustworthy, a man must know when not to listen, when to remain silent and when to speak out."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ohhhh.....more quiz results:
I too, am the Life and Soul of the party.
I'm also:
Jayne Mansfield - 75%
Betty Grable - 75%
Audrey Hepburn - 70%
^still trying to figure that one out^
Have a nice, dry day everyone!
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

Death of youngest daughter
Chapman's five-year-old adopted daughter, Maria Sue Chapman, was killed in an accident on May 21, 2008. She was struck by an SUV driven by one of the Chapmans' teenaged sons as he backed down the driveway of the family's Franklin home. The entire family was home at the time and several members witnessed the tragedy. Maria Sue later died at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee. A spokesman for the Tennessee Highway Patrol termed it "a terrible accident" and said no charges are expected to be filed. Maria was the youngest in the family and one of three daughters adopted from China by Steven and his wife, Mary Beth.
R.I.P
God bless you, Maria Sue
Duck everyone!!
>_<
*tosses infuriating Le Cordon Bleu cookbook across Blogbelieve*
Why do the French just say reduce until it makes a layer on the back of a spoon, or, simmer until cooked through?
Because they know if they said it would take three hours, no one would use their slow arse recipes!
>_<
Although the Poulet Saute Basquaise* does smell quite mouth watering.
^_~
Good belated morning everybody! =)
*looks suspiciously like poached chicken, smothered in capsicum, onion, and tomatoes ^_~
What a devastating thing to happen, anon!
I hope they are all able to recover from it.

BROTHERS

God bless you, Maria Sue

So tragic....
Rest in peace, Maria Sue
:(
Hi Anon, The Sun & PP!
I read about the little girl on a website this morning. I wasn't aware of the father's music but it was so sad - not least for the poor boy driving the car who's unlikely ever to forgive himself despite it being an accident.
As far as Steven Tyler goes, it just shows that no matter how "rehabbed" you are there's always the danger of relapse. As someone with an ex-eating disorder I now how easy it is to take that first step back onto the slippery slope thinking you can deal with it.
I hope your chicken casserole is as tasty as it sounds PP!
Kass xx
Hi Anon, Sun, Kass, and second anon!
After a number of similar tragic driveway accidents, several companies here started selling reverse beepers like you find on some trucks. They give some warning that something is coming even if you aren't looking in that direction.
The majority of the accidents here were caused by drivers in SUV's.
Stupid Useless Vehicles >_<
I hope your chicken casserole is as tasty as it sounds PP!
I hope so to, Kass!!
It's for my Mum and a bunch of hungry others O_o
*PP wilting under expectations*
Hey guys.
I got my Black Phoenix perfumes today and I'm so psyched. ^_^ They don't take half as long as they used to to ship them; it used to be two months. O_o
I got another call for another show, at least I think that's what it's about. Jeez.
But today I'm going to spend gardening like a mad woman.
Kass, you took the thoughts right out of my brain re: Steven Tyler. I'd go one step further and say that no one was more "THE HAPPINESS OF SOBRIETY AND I AM SO HAPPY AND POSITIVE" than Steven Tyler. And he didn't even marry into a band whose lead singer is a huge cokehead.
So yeah, I worry. And I'm a huge Aerosmith fan, so.
Oh crap, gotta run! Later guys.
Hi and bye Kapunua!
*calls after Kapunua*
THANKS FOR THE INDIANA JONES REVIEW!!!
Goodbye People,
I shall see you on the other side of the l-o-n-g weekend. Since I won't be about, "Happy Birthday to OPL for Monday!!"
Do the darn Hell Test Mayo!
Kass xx
apparently, the chapman's are from paducah, so the accident was all over the local news last night. no one blames the brother, of course, but it must be a horrible thing to bear.
it's not an unusual sort of accident, either, unfortunately.
well, i've had my morning on the internet, done my chores, run around, etc. and now it's time to get ready to go out and find a job.
i'm hitting the temp agencies today.
wish me luck! (i promise, no meltdowns later. *grin*)
of course, it would really be just my luck to find a job today and have them tell me i can start right away, and work this weekend.
then i'd have a dilemma: earn money, or reserve the right to laze away my birthday this sunday???
hmmmmm....
like that's going to come up -- who's going to hire me right before memorial day weekend? this is just to put the energy out into the universe.
see you all tonight!
(oh, and i'm 81% betty page, apparently. good to know!)
Indiana Jones is Hans Solo with a hat and a whip ^_^
*not suggesting Harrison Ford is a plank at all*

*will be throwing popcorn in excitement on Sunday*

I wonder what misdemeanors did Helen of Troy commit?
Star said,
Helen of Troy cheated on her old, wrinkly husband King Menelaus, with foxy Paris, and that started the Trojan War.
