For giving myself time.

We are all in some way the same. Any of us can be traced on parchment and placed over another and the outline will match, at some point. Keep turning the page until it fits just right. Call it coincidence, if you will.

I can hold you up against me and often the lines match up perfect.



The following is an excerpt from an old handwritten journal.

Yesterday I saw my reflection and waited for an answer. I stood there like an idiot, swaying and staring. It took a while, but what I found was strength and self-respect. The bags packed themselves and walked right out the door. My hand held tightly to all that really mattered, my own heart. All of my abandon had left the poor thing in a sad state, atrophied. But if I am patient and use it a little more each day it will regain its once youthful bounce. It will be fit for giving...forgiving. Forgiving.




(I needed the white noise as well.)


p.s. it is yours and no one can take it away.

YES YES.. People can sit there and call her friends bitch, cunt, cow, dried up old hag, and TJ just sit's there. But if you say that Mayo is dark or depressed she get mad. That's not right! Something is wrong there..

*scratches a mosquito bite*

toujours said...

hey amyranth, i was just over at your blog. gmail's still not up.

but i got to take a look at your pictures. it looked like so much fun. :)

Anonymous said...

I was scratching a mosquito bite just a few minutes ago Amy, ha ha. I love your random comments ^_^

How are you?

I'm in the bathroom sniffing paint fumes

Amyranth said...

Teej! It was a blast! I wish I had taken more pictures, but with it being so dusty just couldn't.

That and the cell doesn't take GREAT pictures.

-A

Amyranth said...

Ooh, BC, paint fumes? Yikes!

I just got off the phone with my friend who's getting married. Aiyiyi!

-A

Amyranth said...

Oh, and Teej, the punk at Warped Tour was using Nature's Sunscreen. Walk around coated in mud all day and you find it pretty hard to get burned!

-A

toujours said...

i thought the pictures looked pretty fine for being cell phone pics, actually. you must have cell phone charisma.

toujours said...

ah, that explains it. he looked so peaceful.

Anonymous said...

Poor Amy. Did your friend drive you nuts?

Paint fumes are as a result of not dried yet primer on the bathroom sink. The remodeling is not yet completed.

Amyranth said...

Well, apparently it's a 2 megapixel phone, which makes it only a small bit under my camera, so I'm pretty happy with it. The recordings did not come out at all, which is why none of them got uploaded.

-A

Amyranth said...

Ouch. I hate doing bathroom renos, only because it usually can't all be done in a day. And the bathroom kinda sucks because sometimes, you can't use the shower right away :P

I think I drove her nuts! We were talking on MSN, and she admitted that she hadn't gotten contracts from everyone that she had paid for the wedding. Like the reception hall, the wedding site and a couple of other things. I had a little red flashing light go on in my head, so I called her and we started talking about piddly little details. I know what she's like, and she'll change her mind a million times before the wedding. So I want her to be certain she knows what she wants at least 6 months before the wedding, not six days.

-A has been watching a lot of wedding shows.

ergoproxy said...

hello I'm home from work! yay

then in an hour and a half I'm off tutoring until 8:30pm

HI TJ Amy BC

Carrie said...

I can smell Autumn outside and it smells yummy.

toujours said...

the wedding planning sounds crazy, amyranth.

hi there, ergo. did you have a good day?

Anonymous said...

Yeah, the bathroom has been worked on for four days and it's not done yet. Thank goodness we have an extra bathroom.

It must be nuts having to prepare so much for a wedding :0

ergoproxy said...

No contracts?!
that's not good, hope she can trust them all

toujours said...

hello carrie -- autumn is a very good scent, indeed.

Amyranth said...

Hallo Ergo and Carrie!

Carrie, autumn already? I don't get any fall smells until at least September!

-A

ergoproxy said...

Hi carrie

Anonymous said...

Hi Ergo and carrie

Amyranth said...

BC and Teej, it's not for another two years, but like I said, if she's gonna change her mind, do it now. Not a week before the wedding.

Ergo, I told her to get onto that. She's only got a contract from the photog, and she paid $3600 for him.

*walks over to the closet to go get some blankets, climbs back into the chair and snuggles in*

-A

Carrie said...

It's just got a bit of that crisp, smoky scent going on out there now. I think it's going to be in the 50's tonight here in MI, not sure what that translates to in Canadian. :) And hey everyone.

ergoproxy said...

best to see if she can get something written, and 2 years should give her enough time.

toujours said...

well, i do't envy you holding her hand through this, amyranth. weddings are just insane. mine was a simple handfasting, and i was still burned out by the end of it.

toujours said...

"don't"

is what i meant to type.

Carrie said...

I've got to say, I planned my weddding during my senior year of college, and for the most part, it was pretty low stress, even though my husband wasn't even in the same state for the three months before. Wait, maybe that helped!

ergoproxy said...

amy the more organised the better, I avoided faffy little frilly shit, like bonbonieres etc and just kept it simple, still ends up a rush at the end though, invites rsvp and table placings are just annoying, even if everyone gets on!

Anonymous said...

Good advice A.

I can't wait until autumn starts. I hate summer

Amyranth said...

*giggles* Translates to blanket weather, Carrie! *tosses one in her direction*

Teej, it's funny because when she started talking about venues and such I had to ask her why there were two places that we were going to and she says "Well, one is the venue for the ceremony, the other is the reception. Nice job, Maid of Honor."

And I was like, "Oh shit. I'd better write this down."

-A

Carrie said...

Ergo, you schooled me yet again, I had never heard of bonbonieres. Where I come from, only the richest of the rich have the big sit down dinner reception things. Most just have a reception with snacky things at the church, and then maybe something at the bride or groom's house. Up here in MI though, the sit down reception seems to be the norm, along with the chicken dance, sad to say. :)

Amyranth said...

Ergo, I agree. She's usually a very organized person, but when I whipped out one of my wedding magazines, and started asking her about centerpieces, and table settings, and food, and cake, you could almost HEAR her jaw dropping.

I'll probably be planning my wedding as I'm helping with hers, just to be on the safe side.

-A

Carrie said...

Well, Amy, you are a consummate planner, and thanks for the blanket, I'm gonna need it tonight!

Carrie said...

Speaking of which, I'm going to take said blanket (what's the pattern on it anyway?) and head off to bed. Goodnight all.

toujours said...

i'm just relieved that all that is in my past. i was never a play-dress-up-bride type of kid anyway.

have at it, amyranth, and have fun. :)

toujours said...

good night, carrie.

Amyranth said...

Goodnight Carrie!

Teej, well, I hope it's fun. At least, I hope the aftermath is fun. Myself and the Best Man are fixin to play a dirty trick on the happy couple during the ceremony.

-A

ergoproxy said...

goodnight carrie

the norm here is wedding then reception, but it's not really extravagant, most places charge around $30 a head for a nice meal or smorgasbord
there are places charging a lot more, and in the city it can get ridiculous,
my sis in law had all sorts of table tat, almonds. coasters, menus, place cards , little thank you saying things, and nearly all of them got left behind, noone wants to keep that stuff really

Anonymous said...

Maybe that should be your next career option amy, a wedding planner.

Anonymous said...

Goodnight carrie

Amyranth said...

1:50, I've thought of it. I also considered doing wedding gown designs, but I can't sew, and it's hard to get someone to pay you an exorbitant amount of money for a toga. XD

*tucks the blanket around her feet*

ergoproxy said...

Hi anon

I think amy would be a dab hand

though dealing with brides could be a drama I've seen Bridezillas!

ergoproxy said...

you know I'd like to be a shopper, like professionally do peoples groceries, give me a list and pay me.
Apparently there are people who do this!

toujours said...

a dirty trick, eh? when my mom and stepdad got married, two of my siblings filled her car to the roof with shredded paper...and then arranged to have them stopped at the border (they went to canada for their honeymoon).

Amyranth said...

Ergo, so have I. And I think that's what worries me. Bridezillas can be extremely crazy, and I don't wanna get in the way of that kind of emotion.

Amyranth said...

Holy Shit Teej! Okay, that's a DIRTY trick!

Actually, all we're going to do is hide the wedding bands in my bouquet, while he plays like he forgot them during the ceremony. Just long enough for them to both panic, of course.

ergoproxy said...

haha TJ that is good!

we had no tricks on us , though apparently the flowers for the cake froze so they had to make new ones, I didn't know 'till after



and can someone explain to me that american shove cake into your beloveds face thing? I just don't see that as a good start

Amyranth said...

I don't know much about the shoving cake in the face thing, but The Bride has already threatened the groom's masculinity if he does it to her.

She's thinking about having a Wreck The Dress Photo session the day after the wedding.

-A

ergoproxy said...

my wedding was on grand final day, and the minister had joked they'd be listening during the ceremony and I said I'd kill anyone who did (only joking- honest) then after the we now pronounce you, kiss, applause bit he said "So..... does anyone know the score?"

Anonymous said...

The problem with "Bridezilla's" is that behave like that is the most important day of their lives.

Nice thought, but I think all the experiences you share before and after, are more important.

But I do think it's nice to share your commitment with close friends and family. Not an entourage.

Anonymous said...

Hi anon

toujours said...

*heh* yep, it was perpetrated by the most devious of my siblings. but a panic-inducing trick is right up there, too. :)

the cake thing used to be a gentle tradition symbolic of how the bride and groom would provide for each other, but we americans needed to fuck that up, so we decided it should be a food fight instead. it just morphed over the years. :/

toujours said...

then after the we now pronounce you, kiss, applause bit he said "So..... does anyone know the score?"

ha, that's cute, ergo. did you mock-glare?

ergoproxy said...

anon I think they focus on the wedding instead of the marriage, it's a nice day as you said but it's the years after that are important. It's all to outdo people and show off, noone really remembers weddings in that much detail, it's over in a few hours and the money they spend is ridiculous! Such a waste, especially if it's done on credit

ergoproxy said...

oh I mock glared all right!!

lucky he was such a lovely man

(and we did find out the scores after, while we were having photos taken)

Anonymous said...

Agreed ergo. Some of these celebrity weddings are so lavish, they border on ludicrous.

Amyranth said...

*grins at Ergo*

At the wedding we went to, there was a football game on during it, so Mister kept checking in with the DJ, and when he found out that the home team had won, he got up at the podium and announced it to the entire reception.

I rolled my eyes, but I laughed.

toujours said...

(and we did find out the scores after, while we were having photos taken)

of course! :)

Anonymous said...

Well, you certainly can tell where men's minds are during a wedding *smirks*

ergoproxy said...

celebrity weddings are really over the top sometimes,especially with the time the marriage usually lasts!
And so many average couples end up in debt for a day, and if it doesn't go perfectly it haunts them and they fight and bitch with family and friends, all for a few hours, it's built up so much it's really silly.
The fact you are committing to a person for the rest of your life seems to be the least important :/

Amyranth said...

*giggles*

Well, really, how many men want to be that involved in the wedding? As much as I enjoy planning, I kind of think there are going to be days where I want to have a beer and an afternoon watching nothing but sports.

Thankfully, this is all taking place in another province, so everyone will have duties, without being hounded.

-A

Amyranth said...

Ergo, SO true! Right now, The Bride is estimating that her wedding is going to cost her $13,000. Which I really can't understand or figure out.

ergoproxy said...

amy my hubby told his brothers new bride that if she wanted attention she should paint herself yellow and break down in the front yard
due to his time spent fixing machinery he's supposedly going to make money on.
They are still together but funnily enough it is kinda that way

Anonymous said...

If you can laugh together, and "get" each other, I think you will be okay.

ergoproxy said...

$13000!! eek!
but that's probable pretty average these days, you can do it a lot cheaper though

I just think in terms of "that's a house deposit" or "that's a new car" and I cannot justify it.

Amyranth said...

Ergo, we paid less than that for the deposit on our house. And like I said, I seriously don't get where that spending is coming from. Aiyiyi!

Anon, if you can't laugh together, and "get" each other, you shouldn't be getting an engagement ring.

ergoproxy said...

amy is the $13000 counting a honeymoon?
cause if not there's another expense

Amyranth said...

Ergo, not to my knowledge. Like I said, I really don't know where the expense is coming from. So far, she's paid $3600 for the photog, and $300 for the Reception Area. I don't know what's she's paid for the wedding site yet.

I told her she's nuts though, if she offers to pay for my dress, the bridesmaids dresses, or any of the Groomsmen's outfits. I think that should be part of the responsibility of being in the wedding party.

Anonymous said...

TJ, if you're still here, I left you another comment earlier

ergoproxy said...

that's fair
I bought the fabric for my attendants
but they paid the dressmaking and shoes, and I bought the jewellery (but it wasn't dear)
groomsmen hired their own suits
hubby's dad paid for the bar at the reception (beer wine soft drink - spirits were pay yourself)
My parents gave us some for the food but they flew up so they had other expenses, I didnt ask them to. We paid for everything else.
But my dress cost $600 I think, most other brides pay at least double if not over $2000
ridiculous amounts sometimes

Amyranth said...

Uh-oh. Are we forcing everyone out with all the wedding talk?

*bites her lip*

Sorry, guys.

Brides dresses are getting to be as bad as engagement rings. They cost a ridiculous amount, because people will pay that amount, no problem.

mayo,

i've been thinking about what you said when you came sneaking into the blog with your shoes in your hand this morning. *grin*

i can't speak specifically to your experience, of course, but not everyone is ignoring the elephant in the room. in every crowd you will find one or two, or even a few, who are carefully and consciously not acknowledging the creature.

they know the minute they do, there will be an uproar: an elephant?! how did that get in the house? call 911, call the zoo, mabel get your trank gun! the elephant will be carried away and carted off.

those few are carefully not saying anything because they quite like the elephant, and don't particularly want him to leave, and would even slip him his favorite canapés if he would just point out which ones those are.

friends lurk, even in those crowds, mayo.



and now, to bed, and i don't have to get up early in the morning because my job is over already. no hurricane means no temp help needed, but that's okay, because it also means not as many people suffered damage to their homes. that's a good reason for not having a job, i figure.

good night, my friend. i'm still trying to do my best, but well...there's always tomorrow.

sdock10 said...

Mayo,

How are you today? What's today? Oh yeah, it's Wednesday. Wednesday's are usually pretty mellow days. I hope you have a nice one.

My sister and I are off for our 1, 2, 3, 4, 5th roadtrip in past year. I think that's right. Yeah, we are driving right into the hurricane and will land smack dab into the middle of the mosh pit for Reggie/Leathermouth. Pray for us.

But, this time is gonna be a little different. Today I get to meet someone that you helped me get to know. Yayness! I can't wait to see Fimble Star! Mayo, it will be craziness and jappy, jappy madness!

i am a massive manic street preachers fan. and on the latest manics blog, nicky wire (bassist, lyricist, all round intelligent, articulate and snipey bastard but fantastically brilliant man) was answering some questions and this one jumped out at me and made me smile!

Who do you think still manages to make an effort then?

My Chemical Romance with “The Black Parade” for certain. The look, the first video… it was a gothic version of “Sgt Pepper”. It’s a great album. Liam Gallagher is still a star, a very beautiful star. Pete Doherty has still got that quality. When he finally turned up to a gig in Germany, hours late, when he got there, he’s just still got something. An X factor. A very grubby X factor, it must be said…

i love him!!

i also just really like it when bands i adore like other bands i adore. and my two fav bands ever in terms of influencing me are manic street preachers and MCR.

so thought i'd just share that.

I hope everyone is feeling quite comfortable today!

Those little plastic plates don't bother me. It's those darn plastic forks, spoons and knives that get on my nerves! Especially the really cheap ones! You know, the ones that break when you try to scoop up some ice cream to eat with your cake. Yeah, I don't like cheap, plastic utensils at all! :P

As for small talk, ummm....well....
I can have a 2 hour conversation with someone about a stick! I have actually done that. You see, the stick leads to leaves which were once on said stick. That leads to trees. Trees lead to paper and/or how to keep mother earth green and pretty. Paper leads to writing or drawing. Keeping mother earth green leads to Save The Wetlands! Well, you get the 'drift'. (Drift would, of course, lead to wood. ;P
Which would bring us back to trees). SEE!!! It so easy to get involved in "small talk".

Moving on now.

BC: I hope you get to see (and talk to) Killer today!!!! Go get him, sweetcheeks!

Ergo: Did you have 1 (or 5) scothch nightcaps? *wink and smoooooooch*

FASC: Welcome home!!!!! I hope you and all kids involved have recovered from you most recent adventure!

Detroit Anon: You are very welcome. Hey, isn't your birthday this week?

Sdock, Smoke and Fimble: Have a great time tonight and be safe!

For pondering consideration today:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Giving Away
Nina Driver

An orange stall ~ two urchins longingly
watched, as an unknown lady came to buy,
She gave two orders ~ paid for them, and then handed one to the urchins standing by.

They walked away with evident delight.
While she was happier through the kindness done.
Giving away brings blessings in its train as well as gladness to some needy one;
People have different things that they may give:
A kindly word, a handshake, or a smile, appreciation, praise, ideas, skill; Giving away is gloriously worth while.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wishing you all a gloriously worth while day!

Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

still true, though, no matter how much i cringe at the freedom with which i spoke. but then, i'm usually either hanging in the corner, words lost, or writing with heart wide open, words escaping will i, nill i. that middle ground doesn't happen with me too often, it seems.

eh, tant pis.

i never mean to offend. sometimes mastery of "tone" escapes me.

and mayo, do you remember back when i had my first doctor's appointment herein ky? i tied a sewing thread around my wrist, a visual reminder of what binds me (and then ergo did too, which was wonderful. *grin*). i decided not to mess with it, to just let it wear as it will and fall off when it breaks...

Jennicula said...

Mayo, in your old journal, were you talking about your heart?

Because hearts, if not used, become cold and distant and brittle. You wind up shutting down and out. But if you use it a little bit, it becomes bigger, flexible, and healthier - ready to take on more and more for giving and forgiving.

Just a thought. Hope you're well.

Alone


From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.
Then- in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life- was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still:
From the torrent, or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that round me rolled
In its autumn tint of gold,
From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by,
From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view.


Edgar Allan Poe

I never met a girl who makes me feel the way that you do. (You're alright)
Whenever I'm asked who makes my dreams real, I say that you do. (You're outta sight)

So, fee-fi-fo-fum
Look out baby, 'cause here I come.

And I'm bringing you a love that's true.
So get ready, so get ready.
I'm gonna try to make you love me too.
So get ready, so get ready 'cause here I come.

(Get ready 'cause here I come) I'm on my way.
(Get ready 'cause here I come)

If you wanna play hide and seek with love, let me remind you (It's alright)
But the lovin' you're gonna miss and the time it take to find you (It's outta sight)

So, twiddley-dee, twiddley-dum
Look out baby, 'cause here I come.

And I'm bringing you a love that's true.
So get ready, so get ready.
I'm gonna try to make you love me too.
So get ready, so get ready 'cause here I come.

(Get ready 'cause here I come) I'm on my way.
(Get ready 'cause here I come)
(Get ready)

i guess nobody liked the song.

elena said...

I like your song, anon

Got another to share?

Anonymous said...

I love the Temptations, anon, but I like Ain't Too Proud to Beg or maybe Ball of Confusion (especially after hearing it recently in the Tropic Thunder soundtrack ;D). But, just my humble opinion.

Anonymous said...

Ain't Too Proud to Beg always reminds me of The Big Chill. Such a good film. :)

Anonymous said...

Ain't Too Proud to Beg

I know you wanna leave me,
But I refuse to let you go
If I have to beg and plead for your sympathy,
I don't mind coz' you mean that much to me

Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darlin
Please don't leave me girl, don't you go
Ain't to proud to plead, baby, baby
Please don't leave me, girl, don't you go

Now I heard a cryin' man,
Is half a man with no sense of pride
But if I have to cry to keep you,
I don't mind weepin' if it'll keep you by my side

Ain't to proud to beg, sweet darlin
Please don't leave me girl, don't you go
Ain't to proud to plead, baby, baby
Please don't leave me girl, don't you go

If I have to sleep on your doorstep
All night and day just to keep you from walkin' away
Let your friends laugh, even this I can stand
Because I want to keep you any way I can

Ain't too proud to beg, sweet darlin'
Please don't leave me girl, don't you go
Ain't to proud to plead, baby, baby
Please don't leave me girl, don't you go

Now I've gotta love so deep in the pit of my heart
And each day it grows more and more
I'm not ashamed to come and plead to you baby
If pleadin' keeps you from walkin' out that door

Ain't too proud to beg, you know it sweet darlin'
Please don't leave me girl, don't you go
Ain't to proud to plead, baby, baby
Please don't leave me girl, don't you go

Go ahead, Go ahead
And smash it on the floor
Take whatevers left
And take it with you out the door

See if I cry
See if I shed a single sorry tear
I can’t say that it’s been that great
No, in fact it’s been a wasted worried year

Everybody sees
And everyone agrees
That you and I are wrong
And it’s been that way too long

Take it as it comes
And be thankful when its done
Theres so many ways to act
And theres many shades of black
Theres so many shades of black
Theres so many shades of black

Let it out (let it all out) let it all out
Say whats on your mind
You can kick and scream
And shout and say things
That are so unkind.

Yeah, see if I care
And see if I stand firm or if I fall
Cause in the back of my mind
And on the tip of my tongue
Is the answer to it all

And everybody sees
And everyone agrees
That you and I are wrong
And its been that way too long

Take it as it comes
And be thankful when its done
Theres so many ways to act
And theres many shades of black
Theres so many shades of black
Yeah, theres many shades of black

Yeah, everybody sees
And everyone agrees
That you and I are wrong
And its been that way too long

So take it as it comes
And be thankful when its done
Theres so many ways to act
And you cannot take it back
No you cannot take it back
Theres so many shades of black,
Theres so many shades of black,
Yeah, there’s many shades of black
Theres so many shades of black
Theres so many shades of black
Yeah, there’s many shades of black
Theres so many shades of black
Yeah, there’s many shades of black
Theres so many shades of black

Oh yeah...




Great song. Wish I went to see them last month.(the raconteurs)
I could have but didnt and now I regret it. :(

Hi everyone, how are you?

I gotta admit to being jealous of all you guys going to see leathermouth.

I hope you all have a great time.

Anonymous said...

I think I'm drowning
Asphyxiated
I wanna break this spell
you've created

You're something beautiful
A contradiction
I wanna play the game
I want the friction

You will be the death of me
Yeah You will be the death of me
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it

Our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out

I wanted freedom
Bound and restricted
I tried to give you up
But I'm addicted

Now that you know I'm trapped
sense of elation
You'd never dream of
Breaking this fixation

You will squeeze the life
out of me

Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it

our time is running out
our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
How did it come to this?
ooooohh

yeah You will suck the life
out of me

Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it

our time is running out
our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
How did it come to this?
Ooooohh

Your construction
Smells of corruption
I manipulate

This air to ground sage
Gotta launder

I said hallelujah
to the sixteen loyal fans
You'll get down on your muthafuckin' knees
And it's time for your sickness again
Come on and tell me what you need
Tell me what is making you bleed
We got two more minutes and
We gonna cut to what you need

So one of six so tell me:
One do you want to live
And one of seven tell me
Is it time for your muthafuckin' ass to give
Tell me is it time to get down
on your muthafuckin' knees
Tell me is it time to get down

I'm blown to the maxim
Two hemispheres battlin'
I'm blown to the maxim
Two hemispheres battlin'
Suck it up
one last breath
Take a drag
off of death

Hey Mr. Policeman
Is it time for getting away
Is it time for driving down the mother fuckin' road
And running from your ass today

Now tell me if do you agree
Or tell me if I'm makin' you bleed
I got a few more minutes and
I'm gonna cut to what you need

So one of six so tell me:
One do you want to live
And one of seven tell me
Is it time for your muthafuckin' ass to give
Tell me is it time to get down
on your muthafuckin' knees
Tell me is it time to get down

Got a revolution behind my eyes
We got to get up and organize
Got a revolution behind my eyes
We got to get up and organize
Got a revolution behind my eyes
We got to get up and organize
You want a revolution behind your eyes
We got to get up and organize

Come on baby tell me
Yes we aim to please

your cries mean nothing, ill take my time,
your tears mean nothing, ill take my time

i cant leave you breathing,

oh the stories you'll tell,
maybe you'll learn,
when the dirt fills your lungs

Hello Mayo, SS, Ergo, MissT, Elena, Mustard and anons!

*pounce tackle hugs and smooches*

I just received some fabulous (and fantastic too) news. Well, actually it's been sitting in my inbox for a couple weeks; but, I just read it. :P

Guess who's playing at The House Of Blues on my birthday? Go ahead, guess! One of my favorite bands in the universe. Yes, I know; I have a very, very long list!

Here's a hint for ya'll:

"Every time I leave
you say you won't be there.

And you're always there.

Every time I cry your name at night,
you pull close and say it's alright.

I look in your eyes, just like the rain.
Washing me, rain wash over me.

Touching your face, I feel the heat of your heartbeat
echo in my head like a scream.
What you do to me!

Waited so long I can't wait another day without you.
Jet City Woman.
Its a long way, home to my
Jet City Woman.
I see her face everywhere, can't get her out of my mind."

That's correct. QUEENSRYCHE!!!!! Twice in one year! I guess they really enjoyed themselves on Valentine's Day/Night. That's one heck of a birthday present! ;)
It doesn't get much better than that. Well, there are a few things that would be better. I shall not go into that here! *wink again*

It sounds as though Sdock, Smoke and Fimble are having a great time already. Have fun girls and be careful driving back home!!!

L: Thank you so much for what you said this morning! Love to you, J and Sparkle!

MissT: Great to see you hanging out a bit. I have missed you!

Elena: I'm happy to 'see' you're doing a bit better!

Ergo: Good night and sweet dreams! *smoooooooch*

BC: Did you see Killer? *big smile*

I must be off now. I have a date with a vacuum!

Enjoy what remains of the day, everyone!

Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~
6/Wendy

HIYA SMOKE WITH TIGER HAIR! HIYA SOLLY!

I hope you are having a great time.

Is fim with you yet? Now you have met a real mancunian, strange aren't they? Who'da thunk we come from just the other side of the hills.


WAVES TO FIMMY! Have fun Mancy babe.

MissTottenham said...

Have fun with the vaccum wendy.

See ya later sweetie.

Anon616 said...

Of course I'm going, MissT! I can not miss QUEENSRYCHE (even though I did see them in February). That would be blasphemy for a fan of metal! ;)

How have you been, love? Is all good in your part of the world? Have you tried fitting you head in that bird cage again? Have you recovered from your adventures with GS?

I shall look for your answers when I return. That vacuum I mention is getting impatient!

MissTottenham said...

LOL Wendy, I have just about recovered from my jaunt with GS.

And funnily enough I did decide to stick my head in the bird cage again. Mostly through sheer boredom. But the look of bemusement on my birds face means I may do it more often.


See ya later sweetie.
