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.

«Oldest ‹Older 1001 – 1200 of 4926 Newer› Newest»Doing ok, RW. Just finished up dinner, feeding the bunnies, and starting on a load of laundry. Wooo-Hooo, it is excitment central tonight!
Lol!
Well, I did laundry & drank iced tea tonight - I am out of control! ;)
Careful, RW. Don't get too wild with that iced tea! I had two whole glasses of .... water! But that sake Amy was talking about sounded good.
I just want to SING!
Sing Knights of the Round Table, 9:17pm!
SING!
Sing.
I've never tried sake. What does it taste like?
Pure fire, RW. Pure fire. :)

I was foolish enough in my youth to take a drink of 151 rum from the bottle.
Never, ever do that. Even if you are 22 and think you can hold your liquor.
Sing the Crapenters for me please!
I asked you too,now you must!
I've never been able to hold my liquor, L, so that probably would have put me right under the table.
I think that was the night I called it "Lard Hiqour". J. hasn't let me live that down.
I had a bad Hurricane hangover in New Orleans in '98 and nearly missed the Anne Rice costume ball, which was the whole reason why I went down there in the first place >_<
"Lard Hiqour"
O_o
sorry, not my thang
See, they never tell you in the advertisments what you NEED to know.
WARNING- Overuse of this beverage may result in massive hangovers, swearing you will never, EVER, drink again, countless things you will have to apologize for that you didn't even know you did, pregnancy, marriage proposals and other possible disasters.

And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths, and carp and anchovies, and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit-bats and large chu...

I spent a very memorable evening hunched over a toilet in a youth hostel in Houston thinking that very thing, L.
Follow. But! Follow only if ye be men of valour, for the entrance to this cave is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel that no man yet has fought with it and lived! Bones of full fifty men lie strewn about its lair. So, brave knights, if you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth!
"Lard Hiquor" is akin to "Soft Pore Corn". :)
"...and the number of the counting shall be three. One is not enough. Four...is right out..."
What's he do? Nibble your bum?
[singing] Brave Sir Robin ran away...
bravely ran away away...
When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about, and valiantly, he chickened out.
Bravely taking to his feet, he beat a very brave retreat. A brave retreat by brave Sir Robin.
I warned you, but did you listen to me? Oh, no, you knew it all, didn't you? Oh, it's just a harmless little bunny, isn't it? Well, it's always the same. I always tell them--
Hi, Elena :)
Nice song choice!
I think most of us has thought that at one time or the other, RW! These days, not so much.
Amy, are you still sad?
Hey, Python anon. How are you?
Hey, ELENA! How are you doing tonight?
I used to have that bunny...
It reads, 'Here may be found the last words of Joseph of Arimathea. He who is valiant and pure of spirit may find the Holy Grail in the Castle of aaaaaagggh'.
NO! NO SINGING!
.You must cut down the mightiest tree in the forest... WITH... A HERRING!
Follow!
BUT! Follow only if ye be men of valor, for the entrance to this cave is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel that no man yet has fought with it and lived! Bones of four-fifty men lie strewn about its lair, so brave knights if you do doubt your courage, or your strenght, come no further! For death awaits you all! With nasty, big, pointy teeth!
Cut down a tree with a herring? It can't be done!
AHH, he said it again!
We are now no longer the Knights who say Ni.
We are now the Knights who say...”Ekki-Ekki-Ekki-Ekki-PTANG. Zoom-Boing. Z'nourrwringmm.
What? "Is?"
Hi, K :)
Where's my shrubbery??
No, not "is!" Can't get very far in life not saying is!
"The Castle of Aaaauuuggghhhh"
What is that?
Oh man, why'd you get me started? I'm the typical Monty Python obsessed geek.
He must have died while carving it.
Hey RW, L and K
I'm okay. How is everyone?
The French Taunting has something to do with why I was so happy and squeeing the other night. ^_^
Look, if he was dying, he wouldn't have bothered to carve 'Aaaauuuggghhhh'. He'd just say it.
Maybe he was dictating it.
Oh shut up!
Doing good, Elena.
BRB, I have to throw in a load of laundry.
THis is one of my favorite Monty Python sketches.
CARIBOU, GOOOOOONE!
Hi Elena!
Isn't there a Saint "Aaaaavvvveeeesss" in Cornwall?
i want a Cookie Pussy cake from Carvel.
You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you.
You were squeeing over French taunting, K?
Do you think he could have mean, 'Camaaaauuuuggghhhh'?
Here's another one i love. I WISH TO REPORT a BURGLARY!
Look, if I went round saying I was king, just 'cause some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!
No no no, it's "Aaaaauuuugggghhhh" from the back of the throat.
No, I wasn't squeeing over the French Taunting, but it had to do with what I was squeeing about. I got to have a conversation with some people I really admire, but if I told about it here the anons would flood my pages and would try to mess it up. But oh man, it was so cool! And it started with the French Taunting! And The Usual Suspects. ^_^
No I mean, "Whoooouuuuaaa!" as in surprise and alarm
My nipples explode with delight! Drop your panties, sir William, I cannot wait until lunch time!
I told you, we're an anarco-sydicalist commune. We take it in turns to be a sort of executive officer for the week..
I love the French taunting! ^_^
Oh, you mean like, "AAAHH!"
Yes, that's it. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Trading was crisp at the start of the day with some brisk business on the floor. Rubber hardened and string remained confident. Little bits of tin consolidated although biscuits sank after an early gain and stools remained anonymous. Armpits rallied well after a poor start. Nipples rose dramatically during the morning but had declined by mid-afternoon, while teeth clenched and buttocks remained firm. Small' dark furry things increased severely on the floor, whilst rude jellies wobbled up and down, and bounced against rising thighs which had spread to all parts of the country by mid-afternoon. After lunch naughty things dipped sharply forcing giblets upwards with the nicky nacky noo. Ting tang tong rankled dithely, little tipples pooped and poppy things went pong! Gibble gabble gobble went the rickety rackety roo...

Nerd Alert!
Oh, the other day I had said I was in a bad mood because everything was falling and breaking and my day had turned into Prawn Salad.
This is the Monty Python sketch Prawn Salad.
LOL, I don't deny! Let's see. I wonder if I can still do this one from memory. Hang on.
Shut up, you American. You Americans, all you do is talk, and talk, and say "let me tell you something" and "I just wanna say." Well, you're dead now, so shut up.
I hate to leave the Python fest, but I've got to turn in.
Have a good night, all :)
Military fairy
NERDZRULE!!!
Goodnight, you sons of a silly person!
Good night RW, you silly, silly person you!
Mayo,
Have a nice night, okay? Go out and look at the stars. Check out the moon. It's gonna be a full one this weekend. Oh fuck, what if it's cloudy where you are...hmm well go out and listen to some frogs or crickets. Oh fuck, what if it's raining? Well, go out and play in a mud puddle. Splash around and shit. Oh fuck, what if it's like storming ahd there is really bad lightning? Well, get your crazy ass back inside! What the hell are you doing outside anyways? My goodness, go watch a movie or write a play or something.
BWAH! Yeah, I know.
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. Ideas for your consideration.
isn't it awfully nice to have a penis? / Isn't it frightfully good to have a dong? / It's swell to have a stiffy. / It's divine to own a dick, / From the tiniest little tadger / To the world's biggest prick. / So, three cheers for your Willy or John Thomas. / Hooray for your one-eyed trouser snake, / Your piece of pork, your wife's best friend, / Your Percy, or your cock. / You can wrap it up in ribbons. / You can slip it in your sock, / But don't take it out in public, / Or they will stick you in the dock, / And you won't come back.

Good night, SDock. Sweet dreams.
"Oh, we've already GOT one, you see."
That one with the tinny and woody words that I linked to up there? The one where I said "CARIBOU, GOOONE"? Check that one out. The part where Michael Palin starts singing to Eric Idle and he drops dead is one of the funniest things ever.

Solly, where you been, girl? Sweet dreams to thee. ^_^
I know, it's a classic.
Does anyone remember the FULL name of the politician with the last name ending in "O-lay-biscuit-barrel?"

SS,
I know you are still around, my friend. You promised you would still be with us, and I have no doubt of that.
You are always here in spirit, even when you don't pop in for awhile.
Take care, and sweet dreams.

Oh man, I found it! 20th Century Vole!
SPLUNGE!
it means maybe yes, but possibly not, and I'm not being indecisive!
What are the figures, what are the facts, what do people mean when they talk about things?
Too early to tell, too early to say... it means the same thing. The word "say" is the same as the word "tell". They're not spelled the same, but they mean the same!

How did he oblige them?

He used to ram things up their ...

Hey Teej.
Typical night around here huh?
How was your day?
-A is in between supper and the computer.
Franks and Beans!
Franks and Beans!
day was good, evening, fruitless.
how was the day in your corner of the world, amyranth?
how big is your thumb?
one eyed monsters! rawr!
cumming for you
Yeah yeah whatever, I'm so destroyed. :/
Anyways, one more quick thing before I go (yeah, for real this time.) TJ, I'm glad I caught you! hit up my Livejournal, homeslice! Because, OMG! ^_^
Okay! K, out!
*offers Toujours fruit*
Better?
Day and evening both fruitless. Still no luck with a job. If I don't have one by Monday, I'm probably going to hit the local DQ or something.
-A
*offers Amyranth fruit*
What'd DQ ever do to you?
A- you will eat all your profits
ok, 10:53, that made me grin.
*shares coffee*
amyranth, you and i just need to start our own business, that we do.
*noms on fruit*
Well, maybe not HIT it. Maybe I'll ask if they could pretty please let me work there for money or something...
*noms more thoughtfully*
-A
Indeed Teej!
What should our business be?
-A
a little birdie told me that Mayo had buns of steel.
*leaves extra fruit for later*
Have fun
Hey Mayo, lettuce see your buns.
thanks for the fruit. :)
hmmm, amyranth, let's see......
what could we sell....
oh! let's have a pagan bakery!
Ooooo..
MOON COOKIES!
yeah yeah, and special sabbat cakes!
and on the holidays we can close early and put a sign in the window that says "off consorting with beezlebub"
*hehehehehe*
The Witch's Oven
You gotta believe SOMEONE would vandalize that sign.
And it would be me first.
XD
-A
nice, nice very nice!
"half-off pastries if your name is hansel or gretel"
lol
I knew you'd get it!
Also a play on witches coven.
yep, i got it.
stoopid little greedy children! always felt sorry for that poor old woman who was reduced to living in a house she made herself out of flour and water and honey...
*sniff*
*sniff*
why when i imagine her grinding her own grain, and hauling her own water, and pulling the comb...
what a brave brave soul!
Bastard Kids.
-A
She wanted to EAT me! Poor old woman, MY...!!!
*ponders this*
But why did you eat her house?
-A
Halloo, Amy, TJ, Gretel, various Anons! What be shakin'?
I was abandoned in the woods in case you forgot.
Oh, right yes!
Asshole Parents.
Hiya J!
-A
hi j. :)
gretel, one day you'll have to accept responsibility for your actions, and not always go on about how society has mistreated you.
I believe Gretel and her brother were one of the earliest examples of child abuse documented. Let her eat the house! It's the least we can do!
Goota go to bed now. I saw a nice cozy bed waiting for me in a little cottage by the road. Nighty night.
Gotta, actually.
Speaking of society mistreating people, I gotta go close all the windows. The neighbours are smoking pot again. :P
-A
ah, but j., what about the poor thing trying to eke out a living in the woods, only to have her very own home compromised by a roving band of ne'er-do-wells?
why didn't they knock?
why didn't they wait for the homeowner to return?
there are no easy answers...
contact high!!
good night gretel. no hard feelings, of course. :)
Goodnight Gretel. Have a snack before you retire. ;)
TJ, kinda sounds like this blog, doesn't it? Come in without knocking? Cause a fuss? Yeah, we know who REALLY ate the Witch's house: MEAN ANONS.
AHA!
Amy, that reminds me of something L and I came up with the other day:
"All that and a bag of weed."
:D
Anonymous said...
contact high!!
That would be the cat. He freaks out now when I close the door because there's no smell wafting in.
Either that or he'd a spastic cat.
-A
you know, j., i never thought of it like that before...it does sound a lot like the blog! except, maybe,we're all hansel and gretel here...
>_>
i've always wondered what that big brick wood-fired oven was for, there in mayo's kitchen...
especially as he doesn't have a lot of baking ingredients in the cupboards...
um.
*eep?*
So Amy, no luck with the job hunt yet? I'm sorry about that.
TJ, any word about moving back to Seattle?
Hi everyone
i've always wondered what that big brick wood-fired oven was for, there in mayo's kitchen...
It's so Elena can keep baking her evil cookies, of course!
As far as WE know...
Mayo is metaphorically fattening us up on his delicious words. Luring us in with his grammery goodness.
Hey BC, how are you tonight?
Did someone say graham crackers? We could make s'mores!
And I just found out that the manager that made me quit my job has left. Today was her last day.
Wow.
-A
There's something sweetly ironic in that news, Amy.
"Instant Karma's gonna get him
If I don't get him first..."
--U2, "God Pt II", about Albert Goldman and his "biography" of John Lennon
sorry! i left for coffee.
j., i've been doing searches and wracking my brain, but so far, nothing. i don't want to just head over there without a place to stay the night. :/
hi, bc. :)
Hey was someone talkin' bout my cookies?
My ears were burnin'
Do you have a job lined up yet, TJ? It's always so hard to get one (job or home) without the other.
Yeah, that would be me. :D
Hey Elena! I'm assuming the coast is clear?
hi elena. :)
nope, not really, j. i'm signed on with a temp agency there, though, so i was planning on calling them once i had a local address. :/
Sounds good, TJ. What made you change your mind about going back? I thought you were going to try somewhere new?
Yeah the coast is clear...
Or "It is a cold day for poontooning."
Yeah no one will get that, I know.
Hi elena. Hi TJ, good luck with the job and home search :)
Hi amy, sorry to hear about the job :(
Hi J, how are you? I'm beat, I was helping to remodel the bathroom. We start day two tomorrow. As for the on campus housing offer I mentioned earlier, I'm going to decline unfortunately.
My family is driving me nuts about the whole school thing.
This place gave me a friend, and then took away that friend. This place also gave me strength when I needed it. I just don't know how to feel about it anymore.
Um...you're right, Elena, I didn't get it..."poontooning"? Do tell!
BC, here's what you do: move the rest of your family to the on-campus housing, and YOU stay in the house! See, you'll have a newly remodeled bathroom and everything!
There's your answer. :)
i was going to try someplace new, j., but then i started looking at my finances, and other things, and realized that at the moment, seattle's my best bet.
plus, i really miss my cat. :(
Anon, I'm sorry you lost your friendship because of the blog. But, at least you've been able to gain something from it. It's a roller-coaster kind of place at the best of times.
Is there anything we can do to help you?
Anon, friends come and go, but inner strength gets you out of bed in the morning.
-A
Hey Anon. Yeah...
Poontooning. LOL
That is a line from the movie "Top Secret."
Hey BC
Hahaha J. That would actually be a great idea. Gah, some of them think that majoring in music business is not going to benefit me after college. I'm more worried about getting a place in time for when classes start. I start taking the placement tests next week already.
I'm having doubts
Oh I remember "Top Secret"! Val Kilmer, right? Man, that was a long time ago. I love movies like that: the Leslie Nielson movies, Charlie Sheen did several too, I can't remember any names for the life of me. And "Airplane!", of course. Ted's drinking problem...too great.
Are you so sure your friend has left anon?
Thanks, Op J and Amy. Yeah, don't know what to say. I appreciate you guys sympathy, that's what I will say. See I figured it out. In the meantime I think I'm just going to go to bed and pout and think about the fickleness of the human race, and how sometimes it is better to just not care at all in the first place. And no, this is NOT Mayo related.
I think I'm gonna sign off before my mood sours. Goodnight everyone
Surely you can't be serious.
I am serious... and don't call me Shirley.
Is it SS related OPS?
yes, 12:53, I'm fairly certain.
*shuffles back in with her pajamas on a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch*
*AND.
Fer fuck's sake. I think that's almost my signal.
-A
I'm sorry anon. I just know from experience that things are not always the way they seem.
It's just the OPS getting mad at SS again only they know how they pushed him away the last time they went off on him for 'ignoring' them so..... Now they do it anonymously.
No, I am not the Ops. I am someone with a whole other cabinet of issues. Nothing to do with SS or Mayo.
OK, sorry, it just seemed like them getting mad at him again.
