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.)

I might see you guys a little later.
^_^
Bye for now, S&V :)
Have to dash off too.
Everyone have a great night :)
Have a good night, Elune :)
I'm so bored I'm listening to showtunes. :/
That's pretty bored, man.
wow, Gerard was just on the G4 channel from Comic Con and he looks really bad. he looks like he hasn't slept in two months. his eyes look beyond tired. i think he should have probably skipped the MSI tour and got some rest.
Or he hasn't gotten his hands on coke yet today.
I'm pretty sure Gerard is going to die really young. Sad.
anon
i don't know what's going on. he was dressed nice in a white shirt and tie, but you can just see it in his face that something is not right. i don't know maybe i'm wrong and i hope i am.
hello all and sundry.
comic-con? *ouchie*
i only just tok a peek at the schedule tonight, and now i'm sick. i am seriously heartsick that i can't go. :(
i think everyone i have ever read is there this year, and i'm talking abut books that i thought were dead, like beanworld!
and favorite voice actors, and favorite television actors!
and i mean,
colleen doran, who i have admired forever! her art is so beautiful.
and terry moore! i met him -- not only met him, talked to him, and not only talked to him, but had to cut the poor fellow off because i was so self-conscious about the line behind me, and we were hitting it off so well there was no telling when the natural end to the conversation would occur -- and he's there talking about his new project. *weeps copiously*
and even worse, oh the unkindest cut of all,people: wendy pini. elfquest was my very first graphic novel, and cutter my very first 2-dimensional love. i remember sitting on the floor in the stacks at my library reading elfquest, not even able to wait to get home to ope them up.
there's no way i could have gone...
reading the schedule earlier only would have prolonged my torment...
*weakly collapses to the couch*
*has succumbed to fangirl malaise*
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
wow, Gerard was just on the G4 channel from Comic Con and he looks really bad. he looks like he hasn't slept in two months. his eyes look beyond tired.
*waits for elena to come on and tell the horrible anons how gerard looked just fine.
impressive spelling skills, showtones!
showtunes.
showtunes.
must. proofread. dammit. >.<
*goes to see the interview*
-A
Hi everyone
Hi TJ, A, BC :)
hi bc. :)
i might disappear tonight. there's a storm rolling in, might knock out power. just sayin.
hi resurrected wreck. :)
How are you tonight, TJ? Did you have a good day?
*can't find the interview*
-A
Hi Amy, TJ, RW *another big squeeze* TJ, be careful out there
*squeezes BC*
Hi, A :) How was work?
i did have a good day resurrected wreck. i almost bought a really neat little wooden box, it was 50% off!
but i exercised my will power (paltry though it may be) and walked away with only the items on my list.
*sighs wistfully*
I quitted my job RW. No work for me! Just the work of job hunting.
*Is happy*
-A
i'll be careful, bc. :)
my stepdad brought in a little battery-operated lamp to sit here beside the computer, just in case.
*grin*
congratulations amyranth! and best of luck to you in your search!
i have to go take care of some livejournal chores, brb.
I quitted my job RW. No work for me!
Oooooo! When did you do that?
Hey, guys. Hope you are doing good today. I am a little better today than yesterday, fatigued, horribly, but better than before.
I wish I could stay on tonight to talk, I have about 2 million things running through my head and no energy to type them.
As it is, I am going to go to bed, yet again before 10:00 (my vampire career is shot, I believe) and hope to be back tomorrow.
And to the anon who was waiting on Elena, go ahead and go to bed. She's not going to be on tonight, she is out and about for the night. But I can assure you that if Gerard looks like shit at Com-Con, she will SAY he looks like shit, as will I.
Don't assume ANYTHING.
Good night, and sweet dreams.
L.
but i exercised my will power (paltry though it may be) and walked away with only the items on my list.
Excellent, TJ, good on ya :)
I've found my will power slip lately when I see anything home decory.
By the way, I still have the mugs & trinket box for you whenever/wherever you'd like them. No rush though! Whenever you're ready for them.
Yay for Amy! That's good TJ, see you in a bit :)
I'm playing my RE0 game, so I'll be going back and forth here
Hi & bye, L :) Have a good evening!
Thanks Teej!
RW, I gave a week's notice last week, and since then it was a flurry of phonecalls from head office about my leaving, and why I was leaving, and would I change my mind if...?
To put it mildly, the store manager is in shit up to her elbows.
-A
Time for me to turn in, I fear. I'm bushed!
Have a lovely night, everyone :)
To put it mildly, the store manager is in shit up to her elbows.
Sucks to be her, to be sure!
SS,
Good to see you have been around. I would recommend bunnies though. They are sweet and cuddly. Well, unless you truly piss them off and they bite the webbing between your thumb and first finger so hard that their front teeth meet the bottom and then they SHAKE their head, thus ripping a bit of the skin, causing major pain and lots of blood...
But really, that doesn't happen too often. Only happened to me once.
You learn, my friend. You learn!
Anyway, have a good night and sweet dreams.
Love you,
L.
Goodnight L, sweet dreams. Sorry you can't stay longer :(
Goodnight L and RW!
Well, I can't find that frigging video, so I'll have to call this one "Pics or it didn't happen".
Which is only slightly nicer than "TITS OR GTFO".
Anyway, how's everyone doing tonight?
-A
Goodnight RW, sweet dreams!
I'm good Amy, just ate some pizza and playing my video games, like a kid ^_^
How are you?
hello Tj amy anon BC
hi and bye L ♥
Hallo Ergo!
BC, we cleaned house like crazy today. The basement, kitchen, and bathrooms are immaculate, it's just the upstairs living room, and my bedroom that need work. *shudder*
-A
*covers her face with her hands*
This is, an HONEST TO GOD conversation I just had with Mister.
Him: Are you still on that Mayo thing?
Me: Yeah, why?
Him: I just don't get it.
Me: Don't get what?
Him: Well, he's not Gerard Way,
right?
Me: Yeah. Why?
Him: Well, why doesn't he say, "Listen guys, I'm actually Frank. Sorry for the misunderstanding."
Me: *GAPES*
Him: .... What?
Me: *GAPES SOME MORE*
Him: *shuffles away slowly*
O_O
-A
Mister had no idea that there was a guy named Frank in the band.
After I explained it to him, with the help of pictures, he finally got it and said:
"Oh. Well, no wonder he doesn't say ANYTHING then."
-A
hahahahahahahahahaha
Hi Ergo. Poor amy, you must be tired.
I lie awake waiting for you. As I lie on my bed, thinking about you, I feel this strong urge to grab you and squeeze you, because I can't forget last night. You came to me unexpectedly during the balmy and calm night, and what happened in my bed still leaves a tingling sensation in me. You appeared from nowhere and shamelessly, without any reservations, you lay on my naked body. You sensed my indifference, so you applied your hungry mouth to me without any guilt or humiliation, and you nearly drove me
crazy while you drained me. Finally I went to sleep.
Today when I woke up, you were gone. I searched for you but to no avail, only the sheets bore witness to last night's events. My body still bears faint marks of your enthusiastic ravishings, making it harder to forget you. Tonight I will remain awake waiting for you...
....fucking mosquito.
amy - lolz brilliant!
Hahaha
Ergo, read it somewhere else. I really liked it too!
Awful quiet in here, isn't it?
-A
it is
where did TJ go?
LOL XD
Ergo, she went to do some LJ stuff
Okay, funny story. You guys wanna know where I get my sense of humor? Ha. Check this out:
My mother bought my son the coolest pair of shoes for school. It was a pair of Converse that's all black. Black sole, black canvas, black all-star label. Yeah, black. Badass. Well, he's been wanting them forever so she got them for him. Okay. Cool. Well, this is how evil my mother is. She took one shoe out of the box and hid it. Wrapped the box up and tied a bow around it and gave it to him. The poor child opened up the box and screamed and then went, "Wait, there's only one." And then she's all like, "Damn it! There's only one shoe in there? I swear to God."
You should have seen the panic in my son's eyes. O_o Yeah, he gets all dramatic and shit. I don't know where he gets it from.
Then she busts out laughing and goes and gets the other shoe.
I love my Mom.
Hee-hee.
Alrighty-then!
Just popping in to say goodnight.
So....
GOODNIGHT!
I swear to God. I type 'goonnight'or 'have a goon day' every damn time. Grrr. >_<
Goon-night, Mayo.
Goon-night, SS.
Goon-night, BlogBelieve.
See you all tomorrow.
^_^
I'm trying to track down that interview, I may have found it. Be right back!
-A
Goonight Smoke!
My mother told me as a child that when I hit puberty, my breasts would grow in one at a time.
I love my mom. :P
-A
Gah!
She once told me not to take more than one Flintstones vitamin at the time and like a doofus (and because they tasted really good), I ate three of them. She knew the minute she walked back in the kitchen what I had done. She told me to go get in the car because I would have to have my stomach pumped out at the hospital.
Then she laughed so hard at me.
I was probably about five. O_o
Love her to death, I swear.
Night for real!
Good Friday evening! ^_^
Woah. lol. I was not aware that it was my birthday yet. I still have 33 days to go! ^_^
Mayo, RAWR. I like this post, although it tickles me. It kind of makes me see a split in personalities, if that makes sense.
smoke and amy awesome mum humour right there.
I think it's a prerogative to freak your kids/grandkids out periodically
hello PH! *hug* you'll have to consider it an early birthday wish
mine is August 24th, what date is yours?
goodnight smoke sweet dreams
Mayo,
Hope you are well. I hope today was good and tomorrow is even better.
Again, I'm sorry for not having much to say lately. Just trying to dig through my own bullshit in a life, that at the moment, has been completely turned upside down. It's hard to know what I think or feel anymore, let alone have anything useful to say.
Please know that I always appreciate your words and I would never take them for granted. 100 posts in and I think that I forgot to thank you for allowing this place to continue. But like others have mentioned today, if it ever becomes too much of a burden and if you ever decide you need to pull the plug, I think we would all understand. Afterall, this place is still yours, we just crashed it and moved in.
Until then, thank you, my mystery blogger friend.
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. Damn, I left out the Mister and the Master part.
Ergo, mines August 27th! ^_^
*hug*
GOODNIGHT TO THOSE VENTURING OFF TO BED! *HUG*
PH,
*squeeze*
I send you 33 hugs tonight, because that's how many days til the big 1-6.
My birthday is August 26th. Go Virgos!
Solly! *hug*
Thanks sweets. Sweet dreams my dear!!<3
Virgo's are pretty gosh darn amazing, aren't they? ^_-
FRUCK IT ALL!
I think I spotted a mouse in my house. I will die if I don't catch his little bastard ass soon.
I HATE RATS!
G'nite BlogBelieve!
Catch you guys tomorrow!
And for Smoke,
GOONNIGHT!
Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeewis!
If you read this, I'm super sorry I haven't replied to your email! That was one long beast you sent me, so I need time to think of what to say back. I LOVE YOU, <3
Hi grasshopper, how are you? *hugs* goodnight solly, smokie, sweet dreams. Does it make me a bad aunt if I told my niece countless times that she was going to turn into a werewolf? Because I have ^_^
Nah, seriously I love her like she was my own daughter
Hey BC! *HUG*
I'm alright. Cramps like you WOULD NOT believe, and a headache thats pounding out of my skull. How are you? ^_^
hello again. :)
We must send birthday wishes to you then anon :)
Hiya TJ :)
Poor PH. I hope you feel better *hugs* I'm okay, just playing some video games at the moment.
all we need is a 25th and we'll have a virgo set!
wendy's birthday is soon too, but I can't remember what date
Gerard at comic con today
thought for the day:
When you say you're not pretty
a friend will say "yes you are"
but a best friend will say..
.."shut up stop bitching and put on more make up!"
Thanks for the birthday wishes. Sorry I forgot to sign my name and then I went to steam clean the carpets. Such a glamorous life I lead. Ergo and PH, I also want to wish you two the happiest of birthdays. I, however will be boycotting my own as it is the big 4-OH.
thanks anon
have to say he looks really tired,maybe LA life isn't as restful as he needs, but I like his outfit
oh that's you DA! hello
I hope you have a lovely birthday too, I did the 4-0 last year, so I'm in them now lol!
It was pretty painless on the whole :)
at least gerard isn't channeling tom cruise in that interview.
damn short though.
he looks empty
I hope my special someone is Happy Healthy and wise.
That's good to know Ergo. It's just another day. I'm off to bed now, so goodnight.
I think Tom Cruise is channelling his energy in trying to lift his career, does anyone want to see him in Top Gun 2?
The thought of him as an instructor dealing with a cocky female student seems a bit icky to me nowadays
i don't want to see tom cruise do anything. well...give up scientology maybe.
goodnight DA sweet dreams
you're an august babe too triston?
and I saw your vid on myspace, very cool to see you play
damn slow dial-up!
(but i always like the vest. *grin*)
Hey everyone, how's it going?
the ones on your profile triston
oh 30th is wendy, gotcha I knew it was near mine
HI TJ
he does do a vest well
hello J
I just sent you an email, I only just found the voice message L sent me, it was at the account I don't look at often, I wanted to tell her I'm sorry I didn't see it sooner
hello j. :)
hey there ergo, and triston. :)
*waves at bc*
Hi J, Triston, how are you guys? *waves at TJ* :) goodnight DA
Be back in a few
Hey Ergo! I sent you an email back! Hi BC, hi Triston, hi TJ! Anyone else here that I missed?
thanks J I couldn't find where I had hers
Quite alright, Ergo. I figured you didn't have it, so there ya go. :D
you did look a little more....rounded lol
*catching up with current conversation*
Okay, um, Gerard Darling, you are rocking the hair, the vest, and the shirt. Love the look.
Don't love the "I really need a fucking day off" signal from around your eyes.
*takes out her prescription pad*
For: Way, Gerard A
Illness: Stress, exhaustion.
Remedy: One weekend watching the Original Star Wars Trilogy in your pajamas, on a couch with snacks and good friends. Supplement with several doses of Trips to The Comic Book Store to do nothing but read, drink coffee, and hang out.
(What we thought you were doing all this time, but apparently, you weren't.)
As prescribed by Dr. Amyranth, PH.D, MD, BA, BA.PH and FASC. ;D
Hallo Teej, J, Ergo, Triston, and BC!
-A is sporadically doing things.
Hey Triston, better than yesterday. How's by you?
Hey Amy, I loved your mosquito story!
thanks, triston! i could have hugged my doctor through the phone! *hee*
sorry i keep fading in and out guys...normally i take care of all my emails and chores before getting on the blog, but because of the storm tonight (that never showed up *pfft*) i tried to do everything at once in case i got booted off, and now i'm still trying to catch up. :/
hahaha
that would explain the colouring, i thought it looked a bit odd
Amy A perfect prescription again
and can I pick your pet store knowledge?
I think one of my guinea pigs has mites, I've seen the treatment is ivermectin but is anything effective before I get some? She's lost a fair bit of fur
*grins at J*
It's a good one isn't it?
Ergo, Ivermectin will work, but you can also get a little product called Micatin, which was the stuff I bought in a tube for my ringworm infection. If it didn't cost so much to ship, I'd send you the rest, because they sold me a pretty big tube!
Anyway, what you want to do is apply the Micatin, or Ivermectin twice a day, and isolate the sick one from the rest. Check them all for incidence of mites, and treat accordingly.
However, make sure you get either Micatin or Ivermectin in cream form, don't use sprays or powders for obvious reasons.
-A
Oh! And Ivermectin/Micatin can be found at a local drug store, but if the infection spreads rapidly, or even gets worse after you start treating, take the guinea pig to the vet, because mites are one thing, but there can be secondary infections you'll have to contend with as well.
-A
Hiya Amy
thanks heaps amy! :)
Twelve hour day, Triston? Aw man, that's rough. Sounds like you DO need some rest! I hope you can.
I'm doing about 15 things at once, y'all, so I'm writing sporadically, NOT ignoring you! Sorry. :(
Hallo BC!
Ergo, how long has your guinea pig been losing fur for?
-A
good night triston. :)
i thought it was just my folks' connection that made youtube extra dodgy tonight, but maybe not. it was frustrating, because i couldn't get it to play the comic-con video properly. i have no idea what they were saying. :/
not long I only just noticed it, she's ok at the front but thinned at the back.
She's still seems happy and is eating as usual, her skins a bit sort of dry and flaky
Well, I think it's official:
The Blog is dead. Now we must transform it into a Zombie Blog so that it will do our bidding.
*starts looking for ritual robes*
*thinks Martha might've had them last*
*will check the laundry room*
*will also look for SS while there so Amy won't have to make a special trip later*
goodnight triston sweet dreams
Ergo, definitely sounds like mites. She should be fine once you start the creams.
Just watch for that tell-tale ring.
-A
*calls back upstairs*
GOODNIGHT TRISTON! REST WELL!
*goes on to laundry room*
*taps J on the shoulder*
Um, J?
Zombies almost never do anyone's bidding. Unless your bidding is to turn everyone here into zombies.
*peeks in the laundry chute*
Goodnight Triston. I'm okay, thanks for asking
don't we use Worcestershire sauce?
*feels tap on shoulder*
YAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Fuck, Amy, don't do that! *panting, eyes bugged out*
Oh, so, uh, zombies DON'T do your bidding? I thought that if you were the one to create them, they obeyed you.
*looks inside dryer*
amy good point that whole eating brains thing could be a problem
haha triston that would make anyone smile
Well, it's like a Siegfried and Roy thing. You can raise them, but someday, they're gonna tear your throat out for a captive audience.
*looks behind the dryer*
Triston, you better just hope she doesn't smack you while she's smiling. ;)
Your, uh, Love Train don't seem to stop at Wendy's station...
I DO admire your persistence, though. :)
*checks area where washing powders, etc are stored*
You know, I didn't know that about zombies, A. They DO sound like rather unpleasant creatures.
*stands on tiptoes to look out basement window*
*opens up the Linen Closet and checks between the fabrics*
Well, they're definitely not easily mind-controllable. And they stink. I doubt I could find a cleaning company to come in and get rid of that particular brand of stink.
Even with Ergo and the Wink-Wink.
why are you guys looking for zombies in the laundry room? i thought we corralled them all out back in the storage shed?
hey i forgot about the *wink wink*
what would a zombie blog do though? would it go around biting other blogs?
It would only be the one zombie...but it'll be a big one, since it's the whole blog.
We'll just keep it outside.
*looks in laundry basket*
Or, we could just poke it with sticks to revive it, and forget the zombie thing altogether.
*looks through pile of dirty sheets*
No no, TJ, we're looking for SS in the laundry room. I came down here to look for ritual robes for the turning-the-blog-into-a-zombie event. Since it was kinda dead earlier and all.
*looks in shadowy corners*
I got the call today, that I didn’t wanna’ hear
But I knew that it would come
Old true friend of ours was talking on the phone
She said you found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck,
And struggles we went through
How I lost me and you lost you
What are these voices outside loves open door
Make us throw of our contentment
And beg for something more?
I’m learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
And the more I know, less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I’m learning again
I’ve been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think its about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don’t love me anymore
All these times are so uncertain
Though the yearning undefined
And then people filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age?
The trust and self-assurance that leads to happiness
There the very things we kill, I guess
Our pride and competition
Can not fill these empty arms
And the work I put between us
You know it doesn’t keep me warm
I’m learning to live without you now
But I miss you baby
And the more I know, less I understand
All the things I thought I figured out
I have to learn again
I’ve been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
But everything changes
And my friends seem to scatter
But I think its about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don’t love me anymore
There are people in your life, who’ve come and gone
They let you down, you know they hurt your pride
You better put it all behind you baby; ‘coz life goes on
You keep carrying that anger, It will eat you up inside, baby
I’ve been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think its about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don’t love me…
I’ve been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
Because the flesh will get weak
And the ashes will scatter
So I’m thinking about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don’t love me…
Forgiveness…
Forgiveness…
Even if, even if you don’t love me…
Forgiveness…
Forgiveness…
G'Nite
That's a good question Ergo. Would a zombie blog be able to infect other blogs and creat super zombie blogs?
I'd like to know ^_^
hey mya
you ok?
Goodnight mya sweet dreams
BC, maybe we could apply for a grant to study it. ;)
Hey Mya, you alright? What's the matter?
sweetheart, please get some rest
hoping you are just feeling melancholy Mya, message me if you want to
sweet dreams
*wiggles her way out of the Linen Closet, and checks behind the Laundry Room Door*
You know, having a corral of zombies in the back is just asking for trouble.
J I think the blog appears to have some life in it still, perhaps we don't need to zombie it
*walking back in*
well, it wasn't my idea amyranth.
you guys kept bringing in those zombies, and they had to go somewhere. they seem to like the coffee grounds i keep giving them every morning.
*shrugs*
should be fine.
1.41, that's very sweet, but, who are you addressing?
Don't worry about the zombies, Amy, I've given up on that idea.
*peers under water heater*
Yeah, Ergo, it's not gasped its last, yet. We seem to have given it some mouth-to-mouth. :D
j. if you're still looking for ss, how about in the attic? there was a nest of squirrels up there over the winter...
Haha J
OH NO! Squirrels? Not again...
I've told him repeatedly, DO NOT PLAY WITH SQUIRRELS. They will bite you, super-bad, and once they swallow that finger, it's gone for good.
*runs up attic stairs, calling to SS*
PRECIOUS! PUT THE SQUIRRELS DOWN!!!
and they push you down garbage chutes, not good
*heehee*
aw, j. you crack me up. :)
and now, i must hie off to my bed.
good night everyone!
goodnight TJ sweet dreams
(you crack me up, too, ergo. passing out from all those balloons...*heehee* and the messenger bird! *heeheeheehee*)
:) thanks TJ
I did feel a bit bad about the pigeon, it still eyes me warily
Goodnight TJ, glad I could provide a little entertainment. Hey, we don't KNOW if he's actually in an attic somewhere, playing with his squirrels.
*long pause*
Yes, I went there.
took me a sec but I got there too J lol
*comes in the back door, wearing a black vinyl jacket, dripping wet, and carrying a rifle.*
What?
*takes off her boots, hangs up her coat, and peers in the closet off the mudroom*
So, um. What's this attic thing about? Or do I want to ask?
amy did you just "release" the zombies?
Goodnight TJ, sweet dreams
*yawns, getting sleepy*
BC, my apologies for leaving earlier. My guitar distracted me for a good two hours. ^_^
RE: Gee at comic con: He looks a little bit scrawny for my liking, and his eyes looked rather dark from a distance. But he looked good, other than that.
^_^ I need to go to bed soon. Waking up early for my lessons, and work. Busing there is a killer!
Physically, no. Spiritually, yes.
*brings her gun case out of the Armoury, polishes her rifle and locks it back up*
I wouldn't call it a release. More of a denial.
Either way, we can probably clean out that pen once the embers cool off a little.
*eyeballs the Armoury quickly*
Amy, you're evil!
That's okay grasshopper. I was busy with my video games, but now I'm feeling really tired
mayo,
well, i might have been a wee bit flaily earlier. *grin*
i used to go to comic book conventions all the time. my ex was a comic book collector and also was (and probably still is) an aspiring cartoonist, so that was a regular excursion for us.
i liked it so much. the bargain hunting, the window shopping, meeting artists. i once spent a very pleasant quarter of an hour talking to the fellow who was drawing "wonder woman" at the time (matthew clark, i think?). we pretty much just commiserated on the endemic lack of respect for the character. (good times. *grin*)
after the divorce, i shied away from everything comic book-related, and even art as a whole, as well. i wasn't sure what parts of me were mine. i was afraid that i was really just an empty shell.
but after awhile, i started to find that i was hanging out in the graphic novel section of the library a bit longer than i needed to to really do my job properly. and soon enough, i was checking things out again.
i was so relieved to remember that i read comic books and graphic novels long before i met him, relieved to be able to claim that particular interest as truly my own.
looking at the comic-con schedule tonight, and seeing all those familiar names, and reading the descriptions of the panels...
well, maybe i'll save up my money and go next year.
and there's always the local cons, wherever "local" might end up being for me.
i might be a silly, fluffy-minded woman, but at least it's authentically me. *grin*
good night, mayo. and hey, you know what? i'm still wearing that sewing thread around my wrist. it just doesn't seem to want to fall off.
go figure. :)
Aww, I'm not tired whatsoever. Which is weird because I was like, dozing off at work, and I fell asleep on the bus almost missing my stop. NOW I could run a mile. But I should try to sleep.
BC, what game were you playing?
hey PH hope you have a nice day tomorrow
amy , it's probably for the best, if you need help ever let me know, we are well armed.
PH, darling, it's zombies. Not sheep.
Besides, it's best to burn the bodies. Less smell, and I don't know if Mayo's backhoe is out of the shop yet.
Sweet Dreams Toujours! ^_^
*hug*
:O
No reason to be sympathetic to Zombies.
And yes, we're armed to the teeth on my end as well Ergo. Turns out, there's a lot of people selling drugs 'round these parts.
ours are used more for wild animals (though with the size of some we would need to be attacked by elephant or something to not be overkill)
so if we are surrounded by drug dealing feral pigs we'll be right!
Sheeesh. It's like I used all my energy up in two seconds. I think I'm off to bed.
Mayo, I'll have a great long message for you tomorrow. I mean, this is your blog, and you graciously allow us to use it as a gathering zone, but I feel bad when I don't say anything to do the days I do come around, you know? The least I could do is acknowledge my host at least once an effing day. ^_^
Sweet dreams peeps;
