Postage Due
The letters are rivals with swords,
Broad against the flat lined pulp.
Praised, and then repented
Until each has had its way
With my eye. And you
Swear to it; as if it were
Your own existence. Bent
On a fifth or the first degree,
Surrendered at a legendary's expense.
I am brittle and struck in two.
Gone, with a final blow,
The rubbed out remains defined
Ink lined creases on pristine stock.
Held against my flesh, my face
Fierce, rewritten thoughts,
The letters unsealed, recycled
To charm, to hate, to relive
And sent to myself, so I stay
Permanently pointed and fine.
p.s. you and I...don't deny it but at least think about it.
(That is the best news.)

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 2164 Newer› Newest»I don't want to speak for all of us so good night now.
11:33 it is remedial work, the government did a series of tests at target age groups and are offering tutoring to kids that were under the benchmark
the hope is to get them up to a level where they can manage themselves
I am not sure how it'll go as it's the first time it's been done, resources are available online for us and we are expected to input results etc as we go for each kid
Hopefully it'll work well
I always hated having to say kids had very limited ability when you can see they have basic problems understanding anything but it's so hard to do anything for them once they are in high school, and then primary schools are so pressed for time and staff to help them too.
Hopefully this will address the issues.
sorry for the length of that
Hi Elena, Ergo, Watchers.
I am lamenting Mayo's indifference.
"but I think he also feels quite the obligation to some here, and that might be somewhat of an onus."
Which "some"?
Maybe one of us should be blunt. My opinion:
Mayo should be more human every so often. Just post something worth a smile and lighten up.
People know who you aren't and they're still here. You know what that means. Mayo has fans. They think of you, share secrets with you, and support even your most odd posts. Relax and enjoy them before they feel as if they're starting to intrude.
Note that it said my opinion. Plenty will bite my head off and that's cool. I have to find more sugar now.
I can't believe you don't allow anon comments.
hi watchers *waves*
Not much elena just wasting time, lol
at least it isn't raining and the suns out but the wind is really cold
As a regular I have felt unwanted by Mayo and like too much of a burden to him.
Hi elena
I'm not into naming people. It's obvious that some have more invested in the blog emotionally than others.
Ergo, I understand it may be difficult work, but it does sound very rewarding on a personal basis.
Thank you for reply :)
The original watchers, are you some sort of public relations group?
11;42 I won't bite your head off, that would be a lovely situation
Anon (feeling unwanted)
You know you're wanted by other anons, right? You give us without good enough names someone to talk to. We thank you.
Watchers scare me.
*your*
We're sorry. Fixed.
I'm so going to watch the watchers so they know how creepy it feels.
Hello. How is everyone's evening going?
11:43
Who are you talking to?
Goodnight watchers
The anon was talking to the watchers.
Hi andrea, how are you?
hello andrea
Thanks 11:49
Hi BC, Ergo. I'm doing alright. Had kind of a crappy day, but I'm much better now that I'm home. How are you guys?
Congratulations on the job Ergo!
I just put something up at our blog. See if you remember. Good evening Lovelies.......
Does no one else notice the parallels of Mayo's treatment of the Lovelies and GW's treatment of his fans. Both claim to care, but the reality is quite different. Actions speak louder than words.
Hey BC
How are you feeling?
Hello original watchers.
And assorted other anons
11:54
Thank you! I wanted those words but couldn't pull them together in under 3 paragraphs.
thanks watchers :)
anon you can find parallels in many things
You are welcome.
11:54
I kinda don't follow. Mayo hasn't really done anything offensive to the bloggers, if anything he corrects many problems.
As for GW, don't know, don't care. Fans have the option to follow him or not. The only actions he has to worry about is how he treats his wife, friends and family.
You, Them, Her, It
Ignorance, Fear, Doubt

November 6, 2007 2:16 AM
I am not Mayo, I just remember that time and I am pointing out how much has changed.
hello. do we have crickets here?
Andrea, elena, I'm good, all freshly showered and relaxed :)
Chirp...
chirp...
chirp.
Hey TJ and Andrea
Where you been TJ?
hello TJ
I'm good andrea
Aww, I just ran out of hard cider. >_<
*pets the cricket*
hi elena. :)
i've been wandering the internetz. it was a long slow slog.
*whew*
Hello TJ, the fellow cricket of the blog :)
hi ergo...did i read correctly? you accepted the job offer?
:D
hi bc. :)
I just figured out that I can get the station that is at Comicon. Yeah, I'm getting it on TiVo right now.
Not quite like being there but better than nothing.
oh, that's cool, elena!
i haven't been to a comic book convention for a long time. it would be neat to hit up the big one someday. (with a lot of spending money, natch! *grin*)
I have TJ I am accepted as a tutor I just need to see what times I have
at the moment it's looking like 1 1/2 hrs 3 days a week, but it might change, more would be good :)
well, then -- congratulations, ergo! and i hope you get as many hours as you want (and i hope that it goes well for you!).
Tj have you decided what you're doing now? are you still going to kansas?
ergo, i honestly don't know. i'm doing some research now on some cities i'm interested in. i think i need to go back to seattle first, but everything's pretty much up for grabs. :/
Oh really, TJ? That interesting to know.
>_>
er...
hi elena!!!!!!!!
:D
how exciting!!
I know you mentioned London, anywhere else you're looking at?
there is so many to choose from!
well...
*looks nervously at elena*
seattle and portland, obviously, since i'm familiar with them and have contacts there.
new york, st. louis *waves at anima* and kansas city.
i open to any additions to the list, ergo...like, say, in australia?? :)
lol
you can be my wallaby wrangler
see, elena? kansas city. haven't given up on it, even though the last time we talked about it the plan seemed iffy.
talking to you about it was next on my list.
I live near Portland, TJ.
ooooh, wallaby wrangler.
hmmm.
*nods thoughtfully*
interesting.
do you andrea? i didn't know that! well...
:D
Well I'm off for a bit to watch Comicon.
Take care, friends
see you elena. good night if i'm gone when you get back.
wish I had your tv elena ! enjoy it
Bye Elena
I do indeed. I live in Salem, about an hour south of Portland. I grew up in western Washington, north of Seattle.
this is ray my frofish
Evening all, I've just spent about a lifetime trying to catch up. My right eye is blurry (cataract), so it takes me way longer than usual to scan.
Plus I'm very tired. Had another blood sugar drop about 9, so now I'm groggy and semi-brain dead.
a frofish? *laughs*
i know salem -- my dad used to live in portland, and i have family in eugene.
maybe if i end up in portland, we should do something together, yes?
:)
hi j. sorry to hear you're not tip-top, but it's good to see you. :)
he's also a stealth fish, he usually lurks under things, you rarely see him outside
hello J sorry you're having a bad day, but nice to see you
ergo, i think your frofish looks a teeny tiny bit despondent -- maybe if you put a ceramic guitar in the tank it would cheer him up?
ergo, how can you tell the sex?
ummmmmmm anon I don't know
it seems male, but perhaps it's Raylene
I'll go with Ray until I find out otherwise
TJ I could you know, he's always happier when lurking about though, he doesn't like the limelight, you actually have to sneak up on the tank so he doesn't zot away
Yes, TJ, we should. :)
Hey TJ, hey Ergo--funny, you both wrote almost exactly the same thing. :)
L summed it up: today was shitty. Found out I'm almost $800 overdrawn at the credit union, due to the apt complex's new wireless banking system, which held my check for TWO WEEKS before they sent it to my CU. Then, let's see, oh just small mishaps until I got home from errands. One of the bags I was bringing inside split from handles to bottom, turning everything in it onto the sidewalk. I knelt to pick it all up, then couldn't GET up. As I tried to push up off the sidewalk, I lost my balance and fell on my right hip. I felt so bad at that point that I just sat on the concrete and cried.
I did finally get up by leaning on one of the cars there, and then promptly dropped the fucking bags AGAIN. I did not get down on the ground this time.
Too many little picky details to mention, but there were several other incidents that made me say, "Par for the course today."
Hope you two, and the rest of everyone, are doing better than I/we am/are.
Just noticed that it's the 25th, which means it's officially Dumplin's birthday. He's 11 now.
Aaaaaaaaaaand, he's snoring on the couch.
Ah, good times.
I sorta hate your computer. Steal one now.
ugh, j. that sounds like the kind of day where you just want to crawl into bed with a good book and a pint of your favorite ice cream. i hope tomorrow is better.
no, i demand tomorrow be better for you guys! *shakes fist at heavens*
ergo, your fish is shy...hides from admirers...get that fish a guitar, pronto! :)
Hi J, I'm sorry you're feeling shitty today *hugs*
boo dee, that's not nice.
besides, it's not "stealing", it's "liberating".
get the lingo right, no matter who you're talking to. :)
J what a rotten day, they always happen sometimes, everything goes badly, then it goes down hill from there!
hope tomorrow is better
hi boo dee
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUMPLIN
love Gary and Kermie and Ergo
xx
Thanks Ergo, TJ. I hope to Heaven tomorrow IS better.
Hi BC, *hugs back*. Thanks for those hugs, I sure need them. Let's all keep our fingers crossed that Friday IS better...:/
"Boo Dee"?
o_O
Alrighty then.
Happy birthday dumplin
Aw, thank you Ergo (and Gary and Kermie)! I told Dumplin you all sent him birthday wishes.
He looked...ambivalent...but he didn't run off, so that's a good sign. ;)
His birthday treat is going to be going around without his collar for a couple days. Then, I have a new one for him, so I'll just put that one on him say, Sunday or Monday.
Bein' nekkid is tha bomb for my guys.
Boo dee,
Lol, funny name ^_^
who's dumplin?
but happy birthday all the same!
BC, thanks! I told him you said HB too, and he went to eat.
Cats. Go figure.
How's your headache, has it come back? And what's the word on school/job?
TJ, he's my older cat. There's pics on our photobucket; he's the Bombay (solid patent-leather black coat, goldish eyes). Raindrop, who's 8, is the Manx (grey tabby with a "nubby" tail). :)
oh! i remember that pic -- sorry for forgetting j.
you know, when my cat would go without her collar, i called it "stealth mode". she was seriously freaky quiet! all of a sudden, there she was at your side, and *poof* gone.
i swear, it was like wearing the collar interfered with her teleportation abilities.
cats. :)
It's under Original_Punks
No problem J. my headache is definitely gone now. As for school, ugh it's not working out so great. They never got my transcipt(second time that happened) so I sent in another one, but it might be too late to get an admission decision, so I reapplied to my former college instead, and right now they're in the midst of reviewing my records before they can call me.
I figure it's better to go back than not get a degree at all. Job search is not going so well either.
well, i just realized i still have to go to bed.
go figure.
so good night everyone...wherever you are!
BC, I'm sorry to hear about all your delays and mishaps. Hopefully something will turn out right very soon.
And sorry it took me so long to respond, I stepped away for uno momento. :)
Goodnight TJ, sweet dreams. I'll be off to bed soon as well. Not much in the mood to talk tonight *sighs*
Thanks J, I appreciate that. I hope tomorrow is a better day for you and L too
goodnight TJ sweet dreams
BC that's a pain, make sure you keep checking up with them, stuff always gets waylaid in offices
Goodnight TJ, see you tomorrow.
BC, I think most of us are in the same blargy mood tonight. I'll probably head out soon, too.
Oh I'll have noone to talk to
Oh I'll have noone to talk to
twicew I'll have no one! lol
I'll just sit here in my Darth Vader tee
plotting my takeover of the Empire....
Blargy mood?
Nobody can be Blargy, I'm making PEROGIES!!
-A
Goodnight Ergo, BC, TJ, Elena if you're still about. See you all tomorrow, no doubt.
ANIMA: if you happen to catch this later, know that L and I are both praying for your Dad, you, and the rest of your family. Just try to help your Daddy be as comfortable as possible, get him whatever he might want to eat/drink, do what he wants to do. My Daddy didn't want to eat, either, at one point. (Milkshakes are good when they feel that way.) We love you and will be here when or if you need us.
Goodnight BlogBelieve, until tomorrow.
mayo,
today i started a new project. my sister wants to know what my childhood was like (she missed it, you see), so she asked if i would write it all up for her.
tall order!
but i can always use it as research for my memoirs down the road, right? *grin*
i know she's asked other family members for the same thing, so instead of giving her a barebones outline of our family history that any of us could tell her, i thought i would try to write strictly from my own memories.
have you ever tried to identify your first memory, mayo? do you know what it is? it's a curious exercise.
and it's strange, too, how quickly they start to flow when you tap them. i was writing longhand today, and i could barely keep up at times! scribble scribble scribble, with stories standing in line in my head, and not patiently, either.
and just when i thought i knew the next sequence of stories, something would catch at my memory, and all of a sudden there would be stories cutting the line, shoving their way up front, and there i went, and my poor hand with no choice but to follow.
scribble scribble scribble.
but what an enjoyable afternoon.
i liked being a kid. i had a good childhood. there were some bad events, it's true...but i was a happy little girl. i'm glad for that, and i miss her.
maybe she's not entirely gone.
what do you think? if i start coloring again? and swinging from walnut trees? and making up my own silly impromptu operettas?
yeah.
sounds like a plan. *grin*
what were you like as a kid, mayo?you've told us about your dream, and about exploring your backyard and climbing trees...
what else? were you a boy i would have run away from? or one who played nice with the girls?
*hee*
good night, mayo. i don't why but i just totally amused myself by wondering about you. thanks for the grin. :)
(i wasn't afraid of frogs, but i didn't like having my pigtails pulled.)
Ergo, that's the thing that makes me nervous sometimes. One time I also applied to a private college and they also claimed they never got my transcipt.
Nowadays, I try to make sure that the mailbox receives my letters whenever I can so they won't get lost.
Hopefully this time the art school will get it but even if they did, it still might be too late. Here's to hoping I guess. Blah.
I also haven't been getting enough sleep lately because I keep forcing myself to stay up, so I'm gonna sign off early tonight and get some rest as well.
AMY!!! NOW you show up! Dammit, woman, I'm nearly comatose from fatigue, or else I'd stay up with you guys.
AND YOU'RE MAKING PIROGIES!
Fuck it fuck it fuck it.
Ok, well, save me one. :D
See ya tomorrow.
Sorry for the rant. Goodnight J, sweet dreams. Here's to a better tomorrow. Hi Amy, how are you? You're making pierogies? We're having a pierogie fest all this weekend. Not sure if I'll go. Hmmm..
hi amy!
I've never had a pirogie are they nice?
goodnight J
goodnight TJ
sweet dreams
Hiya Lovelies!
Ergo, perogies are yum, yum, yum. Ukranian comfort food, stuffed with cheese and potato.
J, nice to know that I can cook something you'll eat!
-A
Listen with your heart. I trust you can hear my voice. Once fallen silent it now speaks again. These words are for you. Glance to the right, then to the left. No, your eyes cannot see but your heart can hear. Listen to the voices. They speak to you. Feel the warmth of the words fill your soul. Each offers a gift from the heart. Accept what they willingly give and never doubt – You Are Loved.
I'm off to bed. Goodnight Amy, Ergo, sweet dreams
Mayo,
I'm still trying to decide if it makes any difference to you whether I write to you or whether I don't.
I think that in the 10+ months we've been here, you've maybe spoken to me once. And that's ok, you don't have to speak to me. I really am alright with that.
Just wish, though, that you might speak to the others every once in a while. There are still many people here who care about your well-being, who have given so much of themselves to you, but you don't seem to have anything to give back to them.
I'm sure some wiseass anon will come in and crucify me for saying this to you. Well, bring 'em on. I've never felt a need to treat you any differently than I treat my other friends--assuming, that is, that you're my friend.
Look around your Castle, Mayo. Take note of the faces. REALLY LOOK at the ones who've supported you through everything, good AND bad. You know what? They might like a little recognition, too.
I'm not talking about myself. Like I said, you've not spoken to me hardly at all since September. That's ok with me. It doesn't mean I won't talk to you, though.
And I'm talking to you now.
If you've ever read anything I've written to you, I hope this is one time you choose to stop at my name.
For the others, Mayo. For your Lovelies.
Goodnight. Sleep well.
goodnight BC sweet dreams
lovely words again alicia, nice to see you
I must have a go of them amy they sound yummy - anything with stuffed cheese and potato and comfort sounds good!
psycho-babble
Ergo, they are delicious!
I have to run though, we're watching Holy Grail tonight in celebration of my last night at work.
Goodnight Lovelies! Goodnight Mayo and SS!
(checks under the dining room table)
-A
P.S - I don't write goodnights to Mayo, because the first few times I did, it didn't feel right. I like chatting with him when he's online, but if he's too busy, or feels overwhelmed, I understand and I can't fault him for it myself.
Uh, nice, anon...
Anyone here?
BC - I left a note at your place! :)
♥
hi miranth
oh Amy I forgot what day it was , so what do I say ? Congratulations on finishing? I'm not sure, but good luck in your quest to find a new job, may you not encounter any Black Knights, obnoxious French soldiers, Ni sayers, castles of wanton women or rabbits with great big big sharp pointy teeth and a vicious streak a mile wide!!!
Have a great night!!
Dear SS,
For me, today was NOT "all about the love". It was "all about the crap". So you'll forgive me if I sound a little pissy.
I'm not going to bore you, or anyone else, with any more whiny details of my day. Let's just leave it at "I hate almost everything that's happening in my life right now." Notice I said "almost". There's still a couple-three good things there.
Sorry, I need to go. My mood is worsening the longer I sit here. There's no telling what I'd end up typing if I stayed.
Goodnight, baby. I do love you.
My heart to yours, always.
Hi ergo! How did your day at school go?
And Amy - enjoy the movie - its the kids favorite around here. They are always quoting it :)
J - I wish you the best day possible tomorrow! *hugs*
Oops. I mean today. ^
It was fine miranth just half a day helping at the canteen,
so sorting and preparing orders then serving, it's only a little school so it's nice
how was your day?
And I won't feeeeeel.....a thing.
Is it the kind of school where you know all of the children's names and which family they belong to? That's how it is out here too. :)
Mine was pretty good - I got a lot accomplished with the children and household chores, which is always nice, as I like to procrastinate... :)
And I went for a bike ride down a quiet dirt road. It was kind of spooky, as I couldn't hear insects or anything in some spots even though it was quite dark. Also, birds fly directly over my head like sentries or guards in some sections - the black birds with the red stripe-like bit on their wings. I don't know bird species very well! And I went as far as an old cemetery with cool celtic-looking headstones... It was pretty peaceful, actually.
AND MARKY MARK AND LUDA! EMO TEARS.
MARKY MARK.
sounds very relaxing miranth I love to walk in the dark around our house, we have no close neighbours only cows lol
and cemeteries are fascinating
it is that type of school, some kids parents were my students!
on the whole the kids are lovely, and we socialise with a few of the families often
I think it's a lovely type of school for kids, there are only 5 classes across the 8 grades (from Prep to yr 7), a couple of composites and all the kids know each other in all the grades.
That is wonderful, ergo! I find there is less bullying-type behavior when the kids and the families are all acquainted. Kids know they will be held accountable. They also assist each other with projects and the like, I find. And you can't go anywhere child-related without running into someone familiar :)
Over here, a child was bullying the other children and the parents really got involved. My niece is now a good friend of the boy and they are in 4-H together. He did a 180! I was impressed. I had difficulty in the inner city with those problems, except when grandparents got involved, so I know the difference that parental support and a close community can make.
That is too funny that some of the parents were your students! They must be very young...
I do like to be solitary, too, and find it relaxing. Also you can see the stars and constellations quite clearly. I think we've stargazed here once upon a time? :)
Mayo
Well damn. Should I address what happened last night? To be honest I’d rather not but I feel somehow like I should. Put simply it was a bad night. Oh shit, it was a night from hell for me. All the things that had been building up just blindsided me out of nowhere. It doesn’t happen often but when it does my first response it just to crawl into a hole or the pit of despair as I like to call it. I do this not for myself but because I don’t want to burden anyone around me with my emotions. After I wrote the goodnight I broke my rule and reread it. Then I deleted. Those words should have stayed locked away. Giving voice to those feelings gives them power over me and I won’t let that happen. Okay?
Today I feel better. Yeah, there is still a lot of shit I need to deal with but I’ll be in control of when and how. Several things did happen today that had they happened yesterday…It would not have been pretty. However I can handle it. I can handle the ten new bills that showed up in my mailbox. I can handle the latest teen dramas from my girls. I can handle that nothing I do is ever gonna be good enough for some. I can handle the fact that words are cheap when there is no truth behind them. Yep, I’m in total handle mode and it feels good. Got anything you need handled? I’m on a roll, seriously.
So I’ve already decided that tomorrow will be a good day. I’m going to waste money at a casino (bills? What bills?) just because sometimes you have to say “Fuck it.” You have to live each day doing the best you can and that’s all you can do. So you probably won’t hear from me tomorrow night. Hell, I’m never gonna get to use my new laptop anywhere other than Starbucks at this rate. Oh well, it’s okay. To be honest one more time – last night I had decided never to write another goodnight but as the hour grew late suddenly not writing one seemed wrong. I’m still not sure why, I can’t explain it but I have to go with my gut feeling on this. Maybe it’s that I realize deep down I need to let just a few of these words out each night. Pretty sure this is all about me, Mayo. Not you. My words will never change the world or for that matter anything at all. Yet I feel I need to write them. I’m glad they find a home here.
Night Mayo
Elena (I would miss this)
Bye ergo :) I hope your new job works out well for you and your students. It sounds like a great opportunity and you can make a difference there, if anyone can! :)
I must get some sleep and the wine is making me very sleepy! ...And I do use the exclamation point a bit too frequently... :)
elena - I wouldn't worry about anything here. I think that if we didn't have this place to gather, we would make a new one in any case. Though I don't think mayo will evict us just yet!
Anons - Often, I give Mayo advice - and find that it (also) pertains to my own life. That is one of the reasons I write to him. As to the place being 'warmer' before, I don't remember that time, so I don't miss it. I probably wasn't here or everything happened during the day while I was working. But I don't think mayo owes us anything, rather, I would hope that he would wish to visit of his own accord more often, and at will.
Linky Anon - Glad to be of service!
Lewis - But that is how it should always be :) And we are the ones to make it so. The poems are my niece's and she'll be ecstatic that you like them :) She reads all of the poem comments!
Mayo - I hope you work things out with whomever you have issues with in this instance, though the poem may be an older one for all I know... I imagined you as Poe, while I read it... :) And I shan't swear to anything as if it were my own existence, as I live by confusion, though not by choice, as it were...
And postage due? It sounds as if you expect something of the recipient... and/or yourself? In either case, I wish you luck, though you may have better luck if your adversary is external...
And I answered your question last night.
Have a wonderful day Everybody!
And siobhan - I miss you! - Roarrrr :)
Miranth it is different when kids know they'll be found out lol
how good that boy changed so much!
goodnight elena
sweet dreams
and good luck at the casino!!

goodnight miranth sweet dreams
have a good friday
I was going to town but hubby has to work all day :(
oh well town on sunday then.
Morning Everyone! *waves*
Postage due is Mayo's way of sympathising with us Brits about having to fork out £13 to collect out LE box set from the Post Office, isn't that right Mayo? ;)
good morning mayo!
yep you know what i'm gonna say right??
it's friday again!! i know already! crazy isn't it!
seriously mayo you OK? i know you aren't going to answer me but why do i always hear anger and sadness with you? maybe it isn't even there but that's what i hear. even amongst such beautifully descriptive words there is something else that is always there. and that isn't nearly as pretty. or maybe its just me? probably.
anyway hope you have a great friday mayo and take care.
SS where are you??!
i am seeing if you have been sneaky but i don't think so. not unless you have been especially super sneaky! i just clicked all your clickable links thinking one might be different??!
nope!
ah wells just take care and hope you are having a fun time!
hello everyone!
hope we are all doing good?
Postage due is Mayo's way of sympathising with us Brits about having to fork out £13 to collect out LE box set from the Post Office, isn't that right Mayo? ;)
lucy... spot on! thats exactly what it means!
haha ok guys have good fridays!
MAYO!
I am struck with a dilemma!! I have a choice to make and it's a difficult one.
Should I watch Airplane (Flying High to us) a movie I have seen so many many times but that I still find ridiculously hilarious in so many ways, or Pirates of Penzance, one of my favourite Gilbert and Sullivan, with the added draw of Kevin Kline prancing about in tight pants, boots and a foofy shirt as a pirate!!! What is a girl to do??????
Perhaps it'll involve a bit of channel flicking, though I have 20 mins of Airplane before Pirates begins.
Wishing you all the wonderful things your heart desires, much love EP xx
SS what would you do? There are no squirrels in either movie! Sending you sweetness and softness with just enough spice.
lotsa love EP xx
goodnight blogbelieve see you in my morning
♥xx♥
ps: the red zone is for the immediate loading and unloading of passengers, there is no standing in the red zone...
, or Pirates of Penzance, one of my favourite Gilbert and Sullivan, with the added draw of Kevin Kline prancing about in tight pants, boots and a foofy shirt as a pirate!!!
The Pirate Movie?? The one with Christopher Atkins and Kristy McNichol? I haven't seent hat in years!
Hmm. I think perhaps we're thinking of two completely different movies. Yours might actually have been good!
hi RW and night ergo!
MCR to perform Bob Dylan cover in Watchmen movie!!
It is good RW it's the actual operatta, Kevin is Pirate King, Angela Lansbury is Ruth,Rex Smith is Frederick and Linda Ronstadt is Mabel
basically the broadway cast.
if you get the chance to see it, it is Far and away better than the Pirate Movie
BlogBelieve,

Catch you guys later!

Mayo,
Hope you have a fantabulous beeeaayyyooooteeefulll Friday! All we gotta do is muddle on through and we get Saturday!
Niiiice!
I think today will be a Killers kind of day. What's your soundtrack gonna be?
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. Only 9 and 1/2 more hours to go!
Morning everyone!
That's pretty cool that MCR will get to do a song for the movie. Can't wait to hear it. :)
Okie-doke.
One quick thing this morning.
Mayo didn't invite all of us hear to be his friend. It just kind of ended up that way. Therefore, in my opinion, he has no obligation to talk to anybody here. He has no obligation to keep this going. I hope he does but that's his decision and his alone. He has no obligation to read all of these comments. I think it's unfair to try and make him feel guilty. It's no different than SS. He gets crucified if he talks to anyone and it shouldn't be that way. People just need to lay off.
Seriously.
Okay then. Just my opinion. I know they're like assholes. We all got one.
Have a great day, Mayo!
Have a super-duper one Super Squirrel, err, I mean Hammy!
Have a great day, BlogBelieve!
Later! :)
SS,
Watch out for rabid squirrels! They iz super duper crazy!
Frucking. Buwhahaha.
Anyhoot!
I must say I agree with Smoke. I, and I'm sure a lot of us, have maintained that when Mayo feels obligated to post or to keep Mayonaise running, that's when all of this should end. The last thing this place should be for him is an obligation.
Furthermore, I don't view this place as some sort of competitive sport. That's what it feels like it's turning into again. Mayo shouldn't feel obligated to talk to any one of us. And as Smoke said, neither should SS. Let the chips fall where they may.
And I think I want to address this, too, and I'm speaking for no one but myself, I think.
For the Anons who stated last night that no one talks to Mayo much now, and I, in part, agree with this, I think it's because it's hard to talk to him. And this isn't because some of you think he doesn't listen or wouldn't care what you had to say anyway (I really, honestly doubt he would't care about hearing our opinions), or whatever you think. It's not that at all.
I think it's just better to keep the peace in BlogBelieve rather than talk to Mayo about certain things. And that makes me feel bad for him, because I know nearly everyone here wants to help when they can help and be there when they can be there, you know? At least I do.
But sometimes it's just easier not to say anything, not to express worry, not to discuss the meaning of his posts, etc., all in order to keep everyone around here from spazzing out and making BlogBelieve uncomfortable for everyone.
We all have to make sacrifices, and I guess that is mine.
Anyway, talk to you guys tonight.
Have a great day, everyone, Mayo, SS! See you all around!
good morning everybody.
Just on my way out, going to buy a web cam today, what joys!
Welcome to the watchers in blue.
Congrats Ergo on your new job, i hope it all works out :)
have a lovely day everyone, its friday.
All we are is dust in the wind, dude.
I think it is very hard to maintain the illusion that you are someone you are not, especially now that the person Mayo is pretending to be is not so much in the public eye as he was when the blog began.
I get the sense that Mayo appreciates the people here and wishes he could continue on without the charade, but he is afraid people will feel cheated and perhaps leave if he reveals outright that he is not the person many of you think he is -- and let's face it, many of you do still think Mayo is "him" whether you openly admit to it or not. [Come on, you know it's true. You know it's true. *gigglesnort*]
True.

I LOVE you anon. That is my favorite line from the movie.
Morning Boo. Still playing ghost in the graveyard?

Not true. No one really knows Mayo, and he could always lie about who he is or isn't.
And most people are here for each other, not Mayo.
For you Elena :)
the only true wisdom consists of knowing, that you know nothing
Now, who was Joan of Arc?
Noah's Wife?
Aww, cheer up, Blogbelieve.
OMG LOOOK LEATHERMOOOOOUTH!
it's an article and some really fantastically interesting pics. :D Enjoy!
GAHHHHH!!! I CAN'T SEE IT, K!!! :(
It does give me an excuse to scream one time though....
ONLY 26 DAYS UNTIL LEATHERMOUTHHHHHH!!!!!!!
WHOOP! WHOOP!
that is so freaking weird, 10:20, I just discovered that guy like half an hour ago! We must read the same blogs. Well, besides this one. :)
;)
Have a great day people!
Off to the evil dentist again.
Hope to catch you all later.
Mayo/Carmine/Gerard
good luck tonight, and don't forget to thank your lovelies.
good morning. :)
i'm feeling a bit, um... wiggly.
i don't know if it's the massive amounts of coffee i've had this morning or the way tbp just plugged right in to the "let's jump around and do jazz hands" portion of my brain, but whatever the cause...
:D
and they found out the reason behind the northern lights. did anyone read that? i saw the headline and deliberately did not click on it. i don't think i'm ready to know. maybe someday. but i don't want to know all the details yet.
willful ignorance ftw! *hee*
and maybe i'm wiggly because i found an awesome shakespeare icon this morning? and it made me giggle and rightclicksave and giggle some more? i'd link it but it's not in my photobucket yet. it's the classic portrait, but he's holding open his doublet, and there's a blue suit underneath, with a big yellow "s" Ã la superman.
superbard!! *heeheehee*
yes, i'm rambling and i realize no one here most likely gives a shit about the stuff that makes me giggly and random...
um.
*contemplates reigning in the stream-of-consciousness*
naaaaaaaaaaaaah
no really, i'm sorry for it if i'm irritating anyone, i give you all the freedom to roll your eyes and make gagging motions behind my back.
*blissful grin*
and i'm buying a white pen today. art supplies, baby!
and i won't be back until tonight anyweay, and even then i'll most likely just float in the corner because all my coffee will have run out and i'll be uncertain of my welcome and my voice. so one comment of tj inanity isn't so bad, is it?
*eep*
looked at the clock, should probably wrap it up anyway. the excursion into town is set to head out tout suite, and i have to change my shirt.
bye-bye blog buddies!
arrivederci, maestro mayo! :)
Good morning. I started out this day to make a list of the missing as I did before, but I realized there are even more to add, much more than I had thought.
As someone who looks in from the outside, it breaks my heart to see what has become of a once unimaginable place. Yes, no one is obligated to speak to anyone else, no one is obligated to stay, leave, continue posting, or any of the such.
It's the fact that so many have CHOSEN to do just that.
I feel I am no longer needed as well. As Mayonaise once wrote, "They can take care of themselves."
Too many took that statement to heart, Mayo.
Maybe you should have said "They can take care of each other."
To all the friends I found along the way, thank you and goodbye.
comes in late and not singing*
*has a headache*
Good morning/afternoon/evening Mayo, SS, Ergo, Elena, Kass, Possum, FASC, Lewis, Triston, Miranth, Smoke, Sdock; various anons, watchers (in blue/green) and lurkers; everyone I missed last night and everyone in general!
How are you all today? I see quite a few lovelies had a rough day yesterday. I hope you are all doing better today. Mayo and SS too!
Kass: I LOVED your “thought of the day” for me yesterday! That was some of the best advice ever. LOL!!!! I do so love shoes! ;)
Mya and PJ: An official WELCOME BACK to the both of you! I have missed the two of you! *huge hugs*
Amy: I loved the Max Ehrmann poem you posted. I had never read that one. It’s beautiful! Thank you for posting it!
Beloved: It's not strange hugging a 6! Really, it's not! *wink and hugs*
L and J: I hope the two of you are feeling much, much better today!
I realized that I never answered Mayo’s question, at least - not directly. I shall do that now. Please feel free to ignore!
Mayo: Would you want to know? I think that question is very telling. I think the fact you asked the question tells US (or at least me) that you want/need disclosure. I don’t think you would have bothered asking the question otherwise. It seems as though the not telling may be tearing you apart.
Your friends - all friends - here, will remain friends. We are friends, not responsiblities. You should do what is best for you...
and breathe easy.
I almost forgot; Yes, I would want to know.
I do believe that was enough to ponder today!
I hope you all have a fabulous Friday!!!!
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

Not true. No one really knows Mayo, and he could always lie about who he is or isn't.
And most people are here for each other, not Mayo.
Well, the first sentence was true anyway.
Some of the people may be here for each other, but if you think most are, you are fooling yourself.
Thank you 10:20 anon! I like dancing!!!!
Must be off....
*blows kisses*
Guess what todayyyy issssss! :D
Would you believe that I've never actually watched an episode of the X-Files?
*giggles*
It's true! I haven't.
OMG! WTF!
^_^
I can count on one hand the (American) shows that I've watched, and X Files is one of them. The others are Millennium, Buffy, House, and Seinfeld back in the day. But X Files was my big, huge TV love. (And X Files and Millennium crossed over once or twice.)
When I get home from the movies I have to tell about this mad dream I had last night about porn. It was so funny.
O_o
I never really watched Buffy either.
What the hell did I watch?
Shoots, I can't wait for you to see that Leathermouth article. It's really short but the pics are awesome. OMG, the dismembered hands and the Donnie Darko themed masks. O_O
Oh, I know.
LAW AND MOTHEREFFIN' ORDER
>_<
And CSI. I was always hooked on CSI up until this past year. And House. I do love House.
Buffy totally owned, too, it was the coolest show. The whole thing was feminism-themed without it being in your face, and the series finale gave me such chills. :D
Hehe, and I never wathced CSI or Law and Order.
Damn! I wanna see it now.
I iz getting so excited for the show. EEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKK!
Can't wait. Can't wait. Can't wait.
LHM and I were hooked on Court TV for awhile. We loved Inside American Jails or something like that. Those drunk people were funny. And Most Shocking Caught on Video.
Bwahaha.
Oh, you know what was a funny show that I saw once or twice? Most Extreme. I can't remember what it was called exactly, but it was a Japanese show that they dubbed in English with the wrong translations. ANyway it was pretty funny.
Hey, I gotta get ready to go (going to the movies even in July requires long pants and a sweater, they crank the AC so it's like 30 degrees!) and get all my candy and such in order.
It's not playing at my favorite theater so I actually have to drive about ten miles. >_<
See you later!
hope the film is great K!!
it comes out next friday in the UK!
princess and mustard i totally agree with what you said re mayo.
guardian angel sorry that you feel you have to leave.

Grr. Yes, fruckin' company. I managed to have a few martinis last night, chatted with a girlfriend, and basically ignored the uninvited guest.
He's coming back later today. He "forgot" something.
fucker.
My other guests (that I'm excited about) are arriving at 6 tonight.
Man, I have been missing you like cezy.
are your guests staying for the weekend or the week? i said hello to your boy last night, i think you should shuffle him off and then you can see us lol.
i am watchign torando today, she is sleeping but due up any minute now. have you consumed your chocolate today?
nope, spoke too soon. i will shoot you an email jen ok, i wanna catch up withy ou hun.

xx
the good guests are staying the weekend. Should be lots of fun, sun, and other stuff.
the bad guest better get his ass out of my house before I get home from work or I'll have to set him on fire.
I did have chocolate. It does make the world go 'round. :)
How are you?
The boy toasted my computer for a few days. I'll be on after the weekend. I need AIM.
Have a great afternoon, Fimmy.
Give the tornado some Jolt soda and some skittles. That should make your afternoon a bit more interesting. :)
I'll look for the email.
Just popping in briefly!
RE: Anon @ 10:20's video
I used context clues for this one. Wouldn't let me download it for some off-the-wall reason, but I did gather that there were people dancing from all over the world! The act of cheering up will commence shortly. :)
RE: LEAAAAATHERMOOOOOOUTH
Those pictures are crazybrainsfuckingcool, I'm just sayin'. Sorta kinda can't wait for Halloween for various reasons this year! Whoot!
Guardian Angel,
I'm sorry you feel the way you do, and as Fim stated, it was a pleasure reading your words. I do hope you end up changing your mind. Take care. :)
Sweaty Betty Lobster Botch,
I'm sorry you turned into Sweaty Betty Lobster Botch. Here, here's a portable air conditioner. Soak that shit up.
Jules,
Enjoy your movie and the rebel spirit you have! ;)
Movie candy and popcorn,
You're too fucking expensive, just sayin'. :)
Jen,
Great to see you! Sorry about your frucking night, but hopefully tonight's guests will make up for it! Have fun!
It's not what they say about you, it's what they whisper. - Errol Flynn
don't leave guardian angel.
Free advice:
Do not repeat anything you will not sign your name to.
So I was completely right about you after all.
what now?
Why didnt she sign in that time? She doesnt like attention??
How can I be welcome when you dont have a blog anymore? Why? Are you reading this??
RULE!
Okay, sorry. Carry on!
^_^
Or not. O_O
I'm hungry!!!!!
