Your obituary won't mention you have a huge house and a plasma t.v.

My Grandma used to say "You only get so many words when you're born and once you've used them up...that's it."

She said the same thing about steps too.

"Once they're gone you don't get anymore."

Words and steps, I think she meant that they are the measure of a life.

She was a cool lady.





p.s. and in those last few moments they won't occur to you either.

Anti-Baby pills. I like that. ;) Glad to hear it's nothing more than that. First-thing-in-the-morning appts are what I aim for with THAT doctor. I want it over with and out of my way for the day. :P

PH, lucky! When I go in I gotta get the full make-up. Mister calls it the 16-point check-up, like he'd take his truck for.

I wish it was that easy.

Original Punk J said...

2.02, :D ! Yeah, Mr. F Stein didn't look too pleased with Mrs. F Stein, did he? I did like the part where she lights a cigarette and he goes crazy, then points to the No Smoking sign behind her. :D

Ah, good times.

ergoproxy said...

PH that's why I started pilling too


J it is an anime, it's very good

I sort of feel "ergoproxy" too anon, I think it suits me, perhaps as it sounds scientific?
I also came to think of it as
"Therefore I stand in the place of" which is kind of what I do on the blog, as opposed to "real" me

J, my name was inspired by a Buffy the Vampire Slayer video game that I have called Chaos Bleeds ^_^

What inspired your name?

JocelynHolly said...

I don't feel the whole "Paperheartxx" mask anymore.

Amyranth said...

Get a new mask PH. I used to be many people back in the day. Now, I'm just one.

PH, you are.....correct! Congrats grasshopper :)

How many people were you amy?

JocelynHolly said...

It's hard to 'recreate' yourself, so to speak. Once I get rid of this name, it'll be kind of weird to get used to. But I don't know.

JocelynHolly said...

Bleeding Chaos, I remember you explaining that to me on one of our night-time talks. ^_^

Original Punk J said...

"Original Punks" was easy. Since we were both around when punk first hit the scene, and we'd both loved it then, that we said, Hey, we're some of the original punks from way back. And since we were posting together, we decided to just use the first initials of our first names to differentiate us.

And thus a screenname was born. :)

Amyranth said...

Two. Technically three, but I dumped a second name.

One was a character, a second was a name used for personal reasons. The third is the same I have now, but altered slightly.

-A

ergoproxy said...

you could just be PH

Nobody said...

hey j, back when punk-rock first came around did you go to many concerts? I found a page in my dad's old diary from 1977 and he was talking about seeing all these bands that are considered punk rock legends now.

Anonymous said...

If I had to select a blue name, I would probably choose a character I feel best reflects my character, or holds some meaning for me.

I like myths and legends, so I would probably choose something there.

Original Punk J said...

PH, you could be Rawr.

ergoproxy said...

I have blue ergo too, as I have 2 emails linked to google

toujours said...

I also came to think of it as
"Therefore I stand in the place of"


i hadn't thought of your name like that ergo, that's cool. :)

j., i think you're right, it was anima.

i had a different name in the beginning too. but i only used it a few times, it wasn't meant to be an identity, just something i grabbed out of the air when i felt compelled to comment that first time.

Anonymous said...

That's an awesome story J. Aw PH I'm glad you remembered ^_^

toujours said...

2:16, legends are a great source for names! any culture in particular?

Anonymous said...

I like Roman or Greek mythology, and their morality tales.

ergoproxy said...

oh PH Rawr would be cool :)


anon what type of myth and legend? Ancient Greek and Roman or authors?

I know Miranth is an dragon from the Anne McCaffrey books, TJ and I are fans of them.
I probably would have chosen a name from a book if it hadn't been watching the show

Original Punk J said...

SD, sadly I never got to go to any concerts. For one thing, the punk bands didn't make it to Knoxville. For another, my mother would've lost her mind if I'd asked permission to go. I wasn't old enough, she'd say. In '77 I was 11 going on 12.

Wish I'd seen the Clash, the Sex Pistols, the Misfits, Siouxsie and the Banshees, so many.

But I could listen to the music! :D

ergoproxy said...

hey you answered me before I asked! lol

toujours said...

greek legends are a favorite of mine, too. they were the first gods i became aquainted with.

are you truly thinking about picking a name? because it would be neat to have someone mythical on the blog. :)

ergoproxy said...

J I had the same problems, lots of bands didn't tour here and I was 10 too young for concerts, though I convinced my parents to drive to a hill overlooking the KISS concert so I could see it through binoculars for a while


but I did see a lot of aussie bands as pub acts, Choirboys, Rose Tattoo, Radiators,Angels etc as a teen

toujours said...

oh, hey ergo, i'm reading some mccaffrey right now. (but it started out a little dry. *shhhhh* don't tell anyone i said that.)

Nobody said...

That sucks, J, but at least you had the music =)

I watched this documentary on the Sex Pisotls called the Filth and the Fury and they made it out like the punk-rock bands were child murderers. Lol, i enjoyed it because I love rebeling against being "perfect," and what everyone wants you to be.

Amyranth said...

I have tons of Greek names that I can think of, what are you looking for?

-A

Nobody said...

ergoporxy did you ever see the movie, 'Detroit Rock City'?

Amyranth said...

Mayo's not enough?

Anonymous said...

Great minds ergo!

I like the tale of eros and psykhe, so I would probably choose psykhe, which represents the human soul, which is purified by passions and misfortunes, and is prepared for the enjoyment of true happiness after these tribulations :)

And that is linked to my star sign which is linked to death of the soul.

Original Punk J said...

SD, the punk rockers got such a bad rep in the beginning, but true to form, they didn't give up. I've always been one who goes against the grain, likes the "different" things. And that's been in almost every aspect of my life. I don't want to conform, it's boring! :D

ergoproxy said...

greek legend names are great, though it does bring to mind Testiclese and Biggus Dickus


oh has anyone ever seen the movie about the actors who had to do the voices for a Hercules movie? I think it was calld Voices off or something, it is HILARIOUS

Anonymous said...

2:20

Greek mythology is fascinating, isn't it? I also like to read about the Italian Renaissance.

lol amyranth. :)

psykhe, if i slip up and spell your name "psyche" every once in awhile, don't be offended, ok?

the butterfly. :)

Nobody said...

Me too,J. I'll never forget the shameful day when I was carrying around my Ramones purse and a bunch of these pre-pubescent boys go like "The Ram-Ones? What kind of emo band is that?" I just started laughing. it really is sad though.

JocelynHolly said...

K, so the party plans are like a HUGE bust.

It's M's birthday, but J is taking over and telling us he wants to have this party in the bush. I say we'll get caught so we should move it somewhere else, but NO they all gang up on PH. :(

Looks like I'm partying in a bush on Saturday! Yaaaaay. *rolls eyes*

Amyranth said...

*yawn again*

Okay, now I really gotta go. I'll see you girls after tomorrow night's Sake party. I can't promise coherency though.

Goodnight Lovelies, Mayo and SS!

ergo, "alleged title" comment referring to the movie.

Original Punk J said...

ELENA!

CONGRATULATIONS on finishing your story! We will be reading it soon, probably over the weekend. I'm so proud of you for completing your goal! And I know you're gonna miss those people, they always become real in a good piece of writing, don't they?

EWW Amy, that is very sick-minded of you!

Ergo, yup. I think we're ruling out the fire though. That's too easy to spot.

FOUND IT!!!!!


It's an aussie film Called Hercules Returns (1993)

these people want to open a theatre and this other rival guy makes sure the only film they have is an old foreign language reel of Hercules

some quotes (bolded the best one)

Charlie: When your God tells you to beat the shit out of somebody, you do it. That's when religion is all about!

Labia: Get real, mum, I'm not marrying someone with bigger its than me. He looks like a condom full of walnuts.


The chickens: "Cluck, cluck, cluck; Ah, Fuck this for a joke".

Machismo: [to Ursys] I'll fight you on one condition... that you lower your nipples.

Hercules: [bursts into song] Tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree...

Murial: [Shocked] What is that man doing with his hand on my Labia!


Stretch: [as Zeus] Your actual purpose is not as you believe to marry Labia, but to reveal your true homosexuality.
Hercules: [confused] Homosexual?


Barmaid: [strokes her husbands hair] Ooh, your dandruffs getting worse, innit?
Barman: Fuck off!
Barmaid: [walks away] Fair enough.

Samson: [picks up saddle but can't lift it as its too heavy] Fuck...
[tries again]
Samson: Bloody hell...
[tries again then feels his hair]
Samson: Hang on a sec... my hair feels shorter! Awww, Del!

Barmaid: I know this might be an in opportune moment, but what about the bill?
Ursys: OOOOOOh, bill?
[getting angry]
Ursys: You mean you want me to pay for all this?
Barmaid: [Apologetically] Forget i said anything, forget it!
Ursys: I thought you were doing this because you liked me!

Labia: [to Hercules] Well I suppose I better introduce you to me mum.
Murial: [On seeing Labia & Hercules approach] Darling, you haven't been hanging around the gymnasium again have you?
Labia: Mum, who do you think is the dumbest man in the world?
Murial: Why Hercules of course!
Labia: Well say hello!

Charlie: [Hercules starts walking away] Oi, oi! I'm talking to you, you rude bugger!

Murial: [Watches Fanny walk away] Is there something you want to tell me?
Charlie: What? About Fanny? We're just good friends...
Murial: She's wearing your underpants.
Charlie: [Avoids her eyes and starts picking at food] Well, we're obviously very good friends ain't we...
[Trails off]

Stretch: [to Labia and Testiculi] I only have sex if someone puts me up to it!

Labia: [Looks at Testiculi after having made love with him] Was it as good for you as it was for me?
Testiculi: [Considers] Well... I didn't expect the earth to move... but I at least expected you to.
Labia: [Gushes] Your so romantic...
[Sucking, kissing noises as they snog]

Fanny: [Purple smoke rises from a potion] Whoops, that Ribena's getting a bit hot.

Sprocket: You couldn't organize a fart at a curry-eating contest!

sally said...

I'm really not that exciting OP J. But I can tell you I'm 27 and married.

Goodnight.

Blue was the colour of my room before I primed it over. I want to do bright colours now, but I'm not sure.

Good answer for music. For me, it depends on my mood. But my library is full of a wide range as well.

Annnd chocolate all the way! I love ice cream though, I could use some right now!

Sweet dreams, psykhe, nice to meet you and I hope we talk more soon! *hug*

Mayo,

Drawing a blank here, man, think I'm thunk out. It's been a long, busy, tiring week, but it looks to be improving.

Oh, one other thing that just capped off the week: went to my car yesterday cause I was gonna run errands. Put the key in. Turned it.

Motherfucker wouldn't start.

SO! Gotta get THAT looked at, and me with no money in the bank. Mm-hm, getting better? Did I say that? I believe I might've been wrong.

Anyway, hope your stomach's ok and your car starts. ;)

Goodnight, Mayo. Rest well.

I'm off too to get dinner etc

see you all

sweet dreams BC and goodnight anon

toujours said...

mayo,

i was thinking over my day, looking for a little image to spin out into fluff to give to you tonight, but then i realized that itwould be just a bauble.

today was something else for me. there was a single thread running through it that shaded every hour. i seem to have acquired a lurking soft sadness.

it was easy to evade. i could turn my mind away from it with almost no effort, and so today i did my searches, and wrote my emails. i read, and drew, and chatted smiling with my folks. i played with the dog, watched the hummingbirds crowd the feeders, took pictures of trees gilded by the setting sun.

i kept busy, and i was fine.

but in the empty spaces, there it was, rising up within me. when i looked up from the page, when i walked out of the room, when i put the camera down. just...

sad.

but i think i'll be fine once i get going again. i think it might be a side-effect of this cabin fever, this end-of-the-winter, not-yet-spring season i'm still in.


when i was in england, i took a week and travelled around the country alone. all my other classmates had teamed up, worked out their plans, but i wasn't particularly interested in a swimming tour of english and scottish pubs, so off i went, by myself, britrail pass in my pocket.

i had planned part of my itinerary around several country hikes. i took the train to my destination, went to the tourist office, picked up the pamphlet with directions, and headed off.

i always ended up lost.

let me explain that this is unusual for me. my sense of direction is excellent -- one of my earth skills, i believe.

but there i would be, pacing the edge of a farmer's field, not sure if i was supposed to cross the freshly plowed land to that tree right across from me, or if there was a different landmark i had missed, or maybe a gate, or...?

and eventually, i would stumble forward, and match my progress back up with the sketchy map, and realize that although i had certainly been lost, i hadn't actually strayed off the designated pathway.

it's so easy to lose your way, and stand there, perplexed. but even when they are lost, a true adventurer just keeps going forward, and bumbles their way back onto the path at their feet.

today was pacing the edge of the field busily, pretending i wasn't lost, but everytime i stopped still for a moment, my heart was there with the truth.

it wasn't until i started thinking about telling you about my sadness that i remembered the english countryside hikes, and being lost without being lost.

so.

ignore what rises up in the empty moments, and head out across the field.



see, mayo. you help me even when you don't know you're helping me. *grin*

good night, and sweet dreams, my friend. i hope the favor is returned, and me all unaware of it.

Original Punk J said...

Dear SS,

What can I say? Actually, right now not a whole lot. My brain is grinding down for the night, but not producing any stray thoughts I could put to use.

I think what I need is a shot of some good, live music. Gonna go see some, but not just yet. It's coming, though, and it's gonna be fucking great.

Anyhoo, going to bed now. See you around? Maybe so.

Goodnight, precious. I love you.

My heart to yours, always.

elena said...

Mayo

Tonight the air is heavy and the earth unsteady. The clock ticks towards 3 am. Ears strain to hear something… the sound of that wicked train. Soon it will pass by beckoning. A once empty field will be transformed. Do not gaze into the glass it reflects lies. Do not gaze at the colorful flesh or ride the steed. Can you feel it coming?

Unexplained feelings prompted these thoughts.

Night Mayo

Elena (this way)

miranth said...

Checking in... anyone here? I have 1000 comments to read, so I'll be right back... ;)

I must have slept much longer than usual.

elena - I hope you discover the genesis of your worries, and they are easy to resolve.

farawaysoclose said...

morning mayo!

good god it's friday again already!

have a good one mayo!

SS you too!

hello everyone!

no time this morning......so have fabulous fridays one and all!

ergoproxy said...

HI miranth hi fasc

I;m just off for my bath
It's a cold night tonight!

miranth said...

Hi ergo! Hi FASC!

That took awhile...

:)

I was reading over some of the comments from earlier today and I was overcome with a sense of sadness for what was lost - even though I hadn't experienced that feeling of family (firsthand) from the beginning. I can still appreciate what it once was though... anyway, a hug for any feeling sad about this change and a smile because there are still reflections of that love in this space.

Sorry, I am given to sentimentality, as noted before. :)

About the riddle, as I read all of these comments, I notice the reflections of us on the screen (which is white) and I am reminded of mayo's riddle. :)

PP - My birthday is the 15th :) A friday, in fact. I think I'll start celebrating on Thursday and complete the revels on Saturday. That way I won't notice that I've grown another year older, but perhaps I should think of it as wiser. :) I do not know when siobhan's birthday is - I wish she were still her so I could ask her. I left a birthday wish, in any case...

Psykhe - Welcome! Its nice to read you and have a name to call you by. :) I hope you enjoy this place - and the company of the people therein. :)

Booker's Place Anon - I looked at the blog - and I remembered when I first realized that the Civil Rights era only occurred a short time before I was born. It was saddening that institutionalized racism had been allowed to fester so long after the Civil War was fought for those freedoms. I remember crying in class while we listened to one of MLK's speeches. I just wish more were aware.

I realized recently how open I am here... I am like that in 'real' life too, but within a smaller circle - and my words can't be copied and pasted there...

Mayo - More thoughts on the riddle above, as well as other deep thoughts :) I do wish you would answer the riddle - some of us have trouble with the suspense... :)


Have a great Friday - and weekend - everyone!


PS - I'll try not to use the term lovelies as it bothers some - and it bothered me at first too. But I view the word differently having met all of you. :)

*hugs*

sdock10 said...

Mayo,

Alls I got this morning is song for you. Enjoy it, read it, play it, sing it!

Made me think of this place and how you're always damned if you and damned if you don't.

Offend In Every Way

I'm patient of this plan
as humble as I can
I'll wait another day
before I turn away
but know this much is true
no matter what I do
offend in every way
I don't know what to say

You tell me to relax
and listen to these facts
that everyone's my friend
and will be till the end
but know this much is true
no matter what I do
no matter what I say
offend in every way

I'm walking through the door
but they're expecting more
of an interesting man
and sometimes I think I can
but how much can I fake
I'll speak until I break
with every word I say
offend in every way


I know you've been given probably every White Stripes song ever recorded and mostly by me, Smoke and Mustard, but I hope this one is brand new for you.

Love to YOU Always,
S

p.s. How can I be this tired when I just woke up?

ergoproxy said...

miranth that's very sweet of you to say.

..and another band bites the dust, Poor Wolfmother.
Kind of telling when a band of 3 members have 2 leave due to irreconcilable musical differences, leaving the lead singer. Well, he's apparently keen to find 2 new members and record another album, have to see how that pans out. They had a pretty good saound

psykhe, i googled your name and found this. thought it was cool.

The curiosity of Psyche and her search – for both knowledge (of who Cupid was and what he looked like) and for love – are symbolic of our own spirit of inquiry as we go in search of the human mind. The story of Psyche exemplifies many of the phenomena that psychologists seek to study: curiosity, envy, love, compassion, altruism, and perseverance.

Most of all, the story of Psyche is a symbol of the one thing that we all have that can be studied but perhaps never fully understood, of the one thing that is given to us but can never be taken away – the human spirit. Despite tremendous obstacles, Psyche persisted in her search for what made her soul complete.

Love and Soul . . . had sought and,
after some trials, found each other, and that union could never be broken.

*slips in from the side door*

*sits cross-legged on the floor by the couch*

this morning i was listening to my mix cd, to the song "heaven help us" -- which i might have mentioned is one of my favorite songs, can't really remember if i've said anything about that before *heh* -- and all of a sudden, the song just overwhelmed me. it was so unexpected.

i don't know what it is about that song. it knows all my short-cuts. *grin*

Mayo,

I hope you're doing okay, really. I hope everything's well. See you around. :)


SS,

I'm sure we could all send you one of those coupon booklets where every coupon reads "This Coupon Is Redeemable For: A Non-Cezy Bizzy Day.

So, you'd get, like, fifty of them. Wouldn't that be great?

See you around, dude!

toujours said...

coffee and online classifieds. hmph.

well, it's time for me to go. hope everyone has a good friday, here as well as outside the castle.

mayo, it's shaping up to be another day pacing the edge of the field. i can feel it waiting, just underneath. but it's okay. i've got a nice stack of tasks to keep me distracted. and soon i'll be able to set off across the open ground.

thanks for the coffee. :)



bye blogbelieve!

bye mayo. :)

...and would you pray for me?

Hello Mayo,SS and Family!

Stopping by quickly just to wish you all a great day.
I won’t be here tonight ‘cause it’s my friend’s birthday and we’re going to celebrate!



MissT,hope you’re okay...



Welcome to Psykhe!

You said you like Roman and Greek mythology,right?
Well then,check this out.
I studied ancient Roman and Greek culture in High School and I remember I really loved this story by Apuleius the first time I read it.It also features the legend of Cupid and Psykhe,which provides another key to the reading to the entire story.
It’s really fascinating.



Fimble,I’m singing.Can you hear me? :D
Love you!



Right guys,I’m off.
Take care!
Love you all.
*HUGS & KISSES*

Cause I'll give you all the nails you need
Cover me in gasoline
Wipe away those tears of blood again

Someone save us

And in the end we shall achieve in time
The thing they call divine
When all the stars'll smile for me
When all is well and well is all for all
And forever after
Maybe in the meantime wait and see


We love the all the all of you
Where lands are green and skies are blue
When all in all we're just like you
We love the all of you

And when I cry for me I cry for you
With tears of holy joy
For all the days still to come
And did I ever say I'd never play
Or fly toward the sun
Maybe in the meantime, something's gone


Well that sounds fine so I'll see you sunshine
Give my love to the future of the humankind
Okay, okay, it's not okay.
While it's on my mind there's a girl that fits the crime
For a future love dream that I'm still to find
But in the meantime.

as I listen and sing (scream) to Heaven Help us. I sound pretty good. ahaha. Stuck in my head now Thank you very much. Not a bad song to have stuck in your head all day

Happy Friday Blogbelieve as I listen to distant sounds of thunder rumbling. Love T'storms. Gonna go watch.

Ergo, glad to see the new job is going well so far for you.
I keep wondering what you will say when you are questioned about your MCR pencils. :)

Happy Friday everyone. I'm off to lunch, but may be back later.

1:40 how do you know Mayo is a hot piece of ass? That isnt nice to think of someone as a piece of meat.
Well, you can "think" it but keep it to yourself. Mayo doesnt want to hear that. How do I know? I dont. It just sounds well degrading
Did make me giggle a little but dont know about Mayo.


Ahh, more thunderbooms! Laters

They say that life ain't easy
They'll say your life's a crime
Destroy up all good reason
How I'm alive

They'll say that nothing matters
Not even your will to survive
Of course I love you baby
'Cause I'm alive
Yes, I'm alive

Whenever I call you out
Whenever I draw you round
Whenever is here and now

That's the way my love is
That's the way I care
You should call on me baby
I'm always there for you
Yeah, I'm always there for you

They'll say you'll lose your nerve soon
To claim identity
Disgrace our sacred promise
With no belief
Oh, how I believe in you

That's the way my love is for you
That's the way my love is for you

I feel a coming age now
I feel a dawn in me
A certain sun keeps rising
On my belief in you

That's the way my love is
That's the way I care
You should call on me baby
'Cause I'm always there for you
That's the way my love is
That's the way I care
You should call on me baby
'Cause I'm always there for you
Yeah, I'm always there for you

Happy Friday everyone!

I really liked the Reggie video. Actually all of his videos are pretty damn awesome. The only thing I thought would be cool to add, have Frank'enstein' bite the head off of the bat, Ozzy style. ^_^ OH YEAH!

PP, you are so good at remembering all those birthdays! Happy Birthday August babies!

Elena, I just read that you completed your story?! What?! That is so awesome. Congrats!

And yes, SS, WE MISS YOU!!!

Anon from last night, thank you. You are so sweet and thoughtful. I really appreciate it. :)

Hoping all of you are having a good day today. It's almost the weekend!

Mayo, got any fun plans?

Lovelies, anyone doing anything exciting this weekend?

Anonymous said...

Ya know I come on here and never bother anyone. The ones who want to call names go ahead. Am I supposed to be hurt by it. I am not.
You can go fuck yourself. Coming on as an anon. Say it in blue. Nope, you wont do it.
I have seen the way you have talked to some others on here as well. They get tired of it too.

We all,(most) of us have stress in the outside real world to come here and have more aggrevation its not worth it.
I try and leave positive messages and things for people here. Not anymore. I've had it with stupid shit. I really have.
I have never said that to anyone here but its about damn time I did.

it would never matter what anyone said who came here. you do the same thing all the time. you do it to each other
if you dont like me here dont bother talking to me anywhere else
cause if you do YOU are the two faced bastard not me

elena said...

ANIMA!!!!! (yeah I'm screaming)

I've missed you. Damn, I can't talk now but we WILL talk soon. So much to catch up on.

Take care....

anima said...

Oh and I wanted to say hi to Psykhe and Silence. I do not believe we have met. But nice to have some new friends here. Welcome! Silence I've seen you around a while, just never said hello, so I included you; hope that's okay. :)

anima said...

ELENA!!!!!!!

Yes, let's catch up this weekend okay!

♥ ya!

anima said...

BI, you okay? Duh, that was a stupid question. Don't let this blog get to you. I know it is easier said than done, but it really works in blogbelieve.

Also, BI I wanted to thank you for your words last week. I was off and later I came back on to catch up and what you wrote was really geniune and thoughtful. I do appreciate it. Thank you so much.

end of the world? you really are not thinking clearly. it isnt just about me.
it is about the whole premise, the bigger picture. why would someone say something about another who they call a friend?

AGAIN, NOT about me, get it?
I hope so. Go back and have a look at what I wrote.

AGAIN, NOT about me. It happened to OP J, Amy, MJ and "many" others over the past few weeks.

Some like to go back and forth for hours on end. I do not. Why harass anyone? That was the point.
That is what I mean. If you think that I said or I believe it was the end of the world your nuts.

Thanks Anima.

no no no it wasn't!!

SS i had a close study of your blog today to be sure i hadn't missed you cos i am a bit slow at times! and i re read everything basically, and it was a great read. you are a very sweet and kind soul whoever you are. i really enjoyed reading princess's birthday post. nov 12th. it is very special. back then although i was making friends fast i was not as friendly or even knew the blogbelieve family all that well. reading back today i realise how many blog titles (that i now know by heart) you had clicked on to make your story. you are a super special person SS. hope you are good and well and we really do miss you round these parts!!

Heyya Jules!

What do you have planned for this Friday night?

Anonymous said...

A little gaming and some more Sex Files I think. Tomorrow is kind of momentous (I am sending out the manuscript, really, really sending it out tomorrow! And then going out to dinner with my friend.) So I'm chillaxing and waiting on the next storm. They just keep coming. O_O

How about you, Solly?

sdock10 said...

Smoke is coming over to help me pack shit and load it up so we can get it all moved this weekend. Which translates into probably a lot of laughing and listening to The White Stripes and stuff. Tomorrow we will go see Pineapple Express! Yayness! I need to laugh.

Jules, I am so excited for you and your manuscript.

Hello Ergo!

Solly, thanks for the vote of confidence! :D We shall see. I am starting at the goddamn effing top: Penguin for godsakes. They will likely reject it (they already rejected one of my queries for not fitting in with their market; I was proud, my first rejection!) And then I'm going to work my way down, and maybe I'll land somewhere in the middle. That's cool; I just want to be published. ^_^

I am so glad you're getting your stuff and getting out! I'm equally glad that you and Princess are going to get together and make a thing of it, music and stuff like that. I wish I could give you a hug!

(I originally accidentally added an "e" at the end of "hug." I shoulda left it. "I wish I could give you a huge!" O_O

If I randomly disappear it means I lost my connection again. There's another huge storm. O_o

Hold me, hold me,
Never let me go until you've told me, told me,
What I want to know and then just hold me, hold me
Make me tell you I'm in love with you.

Thrill me, thrill me,
Walk me down the lane where shadows will be, will be
Hiding lovers just the same as we'll be, we'll be,
When you make me tell you I love you.
