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.

«Oldest ‹Older 2401 – 2600 of 4595 Newer› Newest»Love was created by a secret society of candy makers and jewelers...duh.
Well, I have fallen in love with the blog.
Now that was something. Halfassed sincerity and real and true concern. LOVELY.
I must say to OP J, I AM impressed with you tonight. Thank you for your continued effort for Cupcake. For a few of the others, why do you even bother? You are translucent.
I wish Cupcake's father figure -all the best, truly. We all need our guides.
Hey carrie

Sure if you listen to the one on the blog who will never have it *cough cough KAPU*cough cough*
I pray you'll be my light,
And watch her as she goes,
Help her to be wise,
Help me to let go.
Every Mother's Prayer,
Every Child Knows.
'Lead her to a place,
Guide her with Your Grace,
To a place where she'll be safe...'
Lead her to a place,
Guide her with Your Grace,
To a place where she'll be safe.
That's ok. I can pretend i'm nice too...like you.
Translucent beats transparent.
Hey BC, I'm sorry that I didn't congratulate you earlier on the art school thing, so, belated congratulations!
Carrie, I know how you feel. My parents never have anything good to recommend. But if they did, I would totally give props! Yet, shocked!
I will check it out. Interstate 60? Is that it?

And hey anons!
I love Carrie because she said hello and I'm easy like that.
Hey BC, what are you taking in Art School?
-A
Have you tried the Staedtler Watercolor pencils yet?
i've used watercolor pencils once before, amyranth, but not that brand. they were interesting! i used to draw with color pencils, so the difference was kind of fun. :)
and thank you carrie! :)
anima, naturally, if you think i'm good, then i have to say your opinion is worth a lot, oh yes!
*heehee*
it always is, even if you had said "wow, tj, stinkeroo!"
:)
yep, that's the name of the movie, evidently came out in 2002, but I had never heard of it. Got my Dad a gift certificate to Netflix for Christmas, and then they joined and they have gone buck wild! It's kinda fun giving recs to each other though, so that's been cool.
*toothy grin*
^_^
Teej, the Staedtler are awesome. It's kinda fun, you sketch something out, then use your brushes to make them come to life.
Which reminds me, I need to water my garden.
-A
Translucent beats transparent.
ha, coming from you, it's a matter of perception. such sincerity
amyranth, my comment was nor directed to you. my intention is not to offend, but some do lie.
12:33 - completely unneccesary.
How dare you come here and say that, then end it with your own 'concern.' Give me a break. You were right on about the OPS,
The rest...
I am fuming right now.
Easy anon, you made me laugh.
*fanged grin*
Much cooler

Well, then I retract my earlier statement, in your case. :D

I confess my feelings and you laugh? Fine then, you can't live in the dream house I just built you wiht my bare hands.
And I'm keeping the kids!
12:31 will also be seeking alimony, under my direction as lawyer.
-A
Oh please, keep them! They annoy me. :)
Pro bono?
I'm cheap and easy.
Yes, BC...its the Edwards crap right now on Fox has me pucking all over. The most boring, pointless shit I've ever seen. Well, Fox is always like that, but whatever. Ugghh, I wanna punch stuff and that anon too.
HOLD ME BACK!
^_~
hello
something has ha..ened to my com.uter
I am on my la.to. and it has no . key
you know the letter after l,m,n,o...
sucks
don't know if it's the monitor or the hard drive on my other
:(
but have home gym made :)
how are you all?
*grabs Anima* ZOMG, Don't hurt anyone!!
12:34, cheap and easy? Wow. One of many that I've had!
(KIDDING)
-A
ERGO!
I'M HAMMERED!
-A IS HAMMERED!
i can pretend to be sane in real life. you should try it.
*toothless grin*
[still all i got!]
....
Carrie, that is a great idea. I think I should do that for my parents. Oh wait...maybe that isn't a good idea. I watch a lot of documentaries...and well, my parents like more fictional stories. Hmmm. What to do?
Ha at cheap and easy, and I was sooo not surprised by John Edwards. He has so been reminding me of Greg Stillson since the get go.
Hmm. An anon divorces Carrie. Amy stands as lawyer.
Maybe I could write the untold story and get a book deal.
Anon, tell us your side of the story. What happened between you and Carrie? Inquiring minds want to know.

Doesn't matter how sane I pretend to be. Besides, it's more fun to be myself.

Anima, 12:23 was Not directed at you. Not in ANY way. The people I was refering to - KNOW I was refering to them. And my concern is true. But once more, I was not speaking of you. I apologize if you felt as much. I will not explain myself further.
You're not going to strip in court are you, Amyranth?
*checks dollar bills*
Hi anima Tj carrie J
ah so Amy the sake do was good then?
and what of cucake?
i'm with carrie. always knew john edwards was a male slut. just surprised it took this long to come out.
*squirms, struggles*
*throws an extra kick "office space" style*
Amyranth, thanks for holding me back. I almost went off the deep end!
Well, that whole thing was very beautiful and I'm so torn between my love for the Chinese culture and my respect for athletes, my own freaking wish that the world was peaceful and open and united, and the truth of the situation: Tibet and Darfur.
And when the Iraqi athletes came on, the camera went to Bush and he was sitting there with this sour look on his face until he saw himself on the screen then he did some polite clapping without looking at them. And then he stopped and did that sneer that I hate.
Anima, you know what? I'll bet Faux news is all over John Edwards for having an affair and all, but I wonder if they are going to mention anything about McCain's affair? You know, the one he had with his current wife while he was still married to the first one?
Yeah.
Anima, we should have another awesome chat. :D
I'm sorry I'm not caught up, I just wanted to rant and get that out of my system. I'm off to bed now, so good night!
12:39... Well, a good lawyer never strips in court.
My show is at a bar around the corner actually.
-A
If I tell you, she'll put a hit out on me like she did with the last anon she rejected.
can you attach another keyboard to a la.to.?
how sweet 12:37
i'm not the one getting callouses from building "dream homes"
Ergo, we had sake and shochu.
I haven't felt my feet for about 2 hours now.
-A
And one more thing: thank EVERY POWER UNDER THE SUN that John Edwards did not get the nomination. Can you imagine the crap we'd all be in if he had? It doesn't even bear thinking about.
Right, well, I'm off to attempt to sleep. :)
Hi Ergo! No "p" key, we could really fuck with you tonight. But we won't.
Or will we...;)
Oh, and Amy's hammered. :D
Anima, you wanna know the real bad thing? They're STILL talking about it!
Hey Ergo
ahyes I ca
but now I have no mouse, but the doover on the laPtoP works still
hey, I'm with K on the whole affair thing, cheat on your wife, you'll cheat on a nation. And wait, I'm being sued for alimony by an anon? :)
Mayonaise,
Is chess the answer to the riddle? We would like to know before we die.
"And one more thing: thank EVERY POWER UNDER THE SUN that John Edwards did not get the nomination. Can you imagine the crap we'd all be in if he had? It doesn't even bear thinking about."
I think that's part of what I like about YOU. You seem to care more about the world than about who you like. I feel the same way..... Smart chickie!!!
12:42 that would be me, not 12:37.
The emotional scars should heal if Carrie pays me enough. It's hard being a single anon, raising a bunch of kids in her overpriced dream house with a pool.
Amy, what's shochu?
Nope nope Carrie, not my point at all. My point is that if he'd gotten the nomination, he would have lost the presidency for sure and we'd be stuck with McCain. That is how he would have screwed the nation over. With Obama, we've got a chance. And it's a double standard that all the stations are all over John Edwards but no one is saying a word about McCain's affair. It's the lack of logic that kills me.
Okay, no more refreshing! Time for bed. G'night!
Carrie, you are.
The anon wants alimony plus 75% of all the chocolate that you come into posession of in your lifetime.
-A
Aw, but anon, I want to make amends, can we give it another go?
Carrie, shochu is a higher alcohol content than sake.
And it's fucking me up badly.
-A
Yeah right, no more refreshing. LOL. 12:45, I appreciate it but the truth is, I just don't feel like there's any other way. If like a sentient clump of hair or a talking frog showed up and announced its candidacy and said it would end the war, protect the rights of women and homosexuals, put a cap on practices that were killing the environment, well then, it would get my vote. ^_^ It's not about who I personally like or even who I personally trust. It's about us not having to bear four more years of destruction. I just don't think the world can take any more.
oh poor anon
I really hope carrie steps up after abandoning you like that lol
American politics is way to confusing
and sucked in you cannot fuck with me now I have a P key again
(problem when P is in passwords)
Ooohhh, sorry K, I am of the slow tribe, but see your point. I will do what I can, but I may have to wrestle my husband down. I have a faint hope, I can see it all waving in the distance.
*sniffles*
Reunification of epic blog love or chocolate...
BC, they ARE STILL talking about it! Holy fuck. I can't take it.
Hi Ergo!
Amyranth, what's this? Stripping?
Oh man, I just had a nostalgic moment! NO, not Amyranth stripping, but almost a year ago! We talked about a lot of crazy shit here! Well, it still happens, but not as much.
Oh and TJ, you remembered correctly. I was Anon30. :)
Amyranth, another question...what's this with you being other anons? Tell us! I'm dying to know.
...
...
...
... Carrie, I'm yours!
chocolate never lies to you
That said, Obama is going to do things that are going to disappoint me. (He's been playing towards the center recently and that does disappoint me!) I know that. I'm realistic in that. But I can't help but look at the big picture.
Gahh! I'm too sleepy. I have to bow out. I'm glad you get it, thank you. ^_^
Ack, Amy! I am picturing a staggering drunk Canadian elf, and it is amusing me greatly. :)
somebody is in a bad mood tonight. what? not getting enough attention in real or bloglife? sad.
so cheap & easy!
Anon, I am so sorry.
Carrie, we need to ask you a few questions...
And anon, I promise I will make it up to you. :)
somebody is in a bad mood tonight. what? not getting enough attention in real or bloglife? sad.
is that always your definitive statement? sad.
ergo, hi! but your "f" key is alright, right? ;)
good night, kapunua!
i was over at my teddy bear's lj, posting replies as him to comments written by me.
sanity is for chumps. :)
i wonder when obama's dirty little secrets will come out. a month before the election probably.
Cheap and easy, that's me. Especially when there's chocolate to be had. Blog chocolate is the best.

What are you doing tonight? Just wondering.
I didn't know Obama made a cover of that song!
It'll only be a matter of time before McCain's affair goes public.
12.46,
Hahaha!
Amyranth, another question...what's this with you being other anons? Tell us! I'm dying to know.
Yup. I'm all the anons on here. Every single one. Even the ones that don't like me. I find it easier to argue with myself.
O_o
-A
if I wasn't too fucking lazy to look it up now, I would post the American Rejects lyrics. Yeah, I'm kinda hatey on the politics in general, even though I know I should be more involved.
anon there's always lots of chocolate around.
i prefer the 75% cocoa one myself, better quality...always quality over quantity
it'll be out a month before the election! watch out for it.
Carrie, your happiness is all that matters to me. I live to serve you.
*gags on romance*
A talking frog.... hmmm I could see that. Yeh that would be better than MCCain too! have a good night....
Oh no! Amy you big liar! I am all the anons!!
COTTON CANDY, SWEET AND LOW,
LET ME SEE THAT TOOTSIE ROLL!

Will Hillary sing backup? That would kick ass!

BC.... umm I don't know how to tell you this. his affair went public many years ago.
--also likes politics
Shhh!!!
Carrie, I'm doing this to protect you, only because even in the middle of your divorce...
I want 75% of your chocolate assets too...
-A
TOOTSIE ROLL!
candy...now you're talking.
The story thus far:
Carrie and Anon were living happily in their customized build-it-yourself dream home, raising their five children and swimming in their large, heated kidney shaped pool.
Suddenly, one day Carrie came home and announced, "Anon, I'm done with this crappy life we lead. I'm leaving you and the kids. But you're the ones who have to get off my property. Now GO! LEAVE ME! You're better off without me."
Anon was heartbroken. Packing up personal belongings and five screaming children, Anon moved to a low-rent, bad-neighborhood tenement. Days passed, then weeks. Soon, the months had flown by, and still no word from her beloved.
Then one day, unexpectedly, Carrie came to the low-rent apartment and declared her undying love for Anon. "Please come home, honey," Carrie begged through her tears. "I can't live without you and the kids! I'll give you anything you want!"
Anon thought for a while. "Will you give me all your chocolate?"
"Yes! Yes! I'll give you anything you want, just say you'll come home!"
So Anon and Carrie packed up and drove home to their customized mansion with large pool, where they ate chocolates and lived happily ever after.
McCain forgets he had it anyway.
Gahhh Anima, they are! They might as well become the next TMZ.
Hahaha yes, John McCain's affair was what 30 years ago? I'm pretty sure.... it already went 'public'. Since it is in books about him.
Oh ho! No, not calling you a ho. I want your cool air, and your loonies and toonies.
BC if you want to learn more you can read it on the internet.
five kids?
wow, if he made me have five kids he better be worth it.

-A
1:00,
Thanks for letting me know.
12:52,
Correct you are. Chocolate NEVER lies. Haha J
I would never be so mean!! I would cook her fave dishes for my anon! Wait, how did I get to be the villain? I should pay way more attention to my blog postings.
1:03, you are witty. :)
J, who told you that? It's like you were there! The poor kids... and the dog. The poor, poor dog she just "had" to have in that purse of hers. The pain...
Seriously, I should borrow that from you and paste it closer to me just for laughs.
Also Amyranth, I'll give you 75% of my 75% of her chocolate if you want as a bonus.
And we have Heat Lightning.
Bloody hell, I don't think this house has cooled off yet.

Also Amyranth, I'll give you 75% of my 75% of her chocolate if you want as a bonus.

I will consider this.
*grooves more*

Well, Carrie, it WAS the National Enquirer version, so I can use artistic license* for the parts I don't know.
*can make it up
I hope that purse wasn't worth $1500.
Amyranth that's another asset to add to the list.
Carrie, everyone knows I would never leave you. I posted for minutes before you came into my life tonight and showed me what blog love was.
(Fears for own sanity.)
Cheap and easy, who are you? This is funny.
*adds it to the list*
*mysteriously forgets to add chocolate*
*thinks*
*adds Anon's sanity to the list*
-A
Anon, seriously, I loves you and stuff, but I have to go play Wii with my real life husband (Sorry). And choke on that chocolate, bitch!!!! Oh, well, that wasn't nice. :) But, guys, thanks for hanging out with me, for real. This blog is just such a little slice of meness, and I do think of you all during my day, and talk about you to my kids, just to give you some more creeps. Yeah, Mayo, thanks for the friends.
1.07, I WAS there. I lived in the corner of Carrie's media room so I could watch movies for free. Plus steal all her Hamburger Helper and Twizzlers.
Amy, take that bonus, you'll never get that opportunity again.
I'm whoever Carrie wants me to be.
(Scares self)
I'm nobody special and I'm not making trouble.
just did my first workout
now I feel like eating chocolate
LOL@
Night Carrie!
Mine has gone to see X Files. I'm worried because I heard it was crap. :S

No, wait anon!! Will you marry me backstage?
Hahaha anon
Goodnight Carrie! It was fun! See you tomorrow, ok?
*hands Anon a tissue to dry tears from crying over Carrie's leaving*

What about your obituary? What would/should it say?

On a blog like this, you take what you can get.
(This has to be the weirdest conversation I've has in months.)

I hope Cupcake is okay.

Anons, pick an identity. It's good for you.
Good advice, Anima. I did.
Hi everyone, just thought I would pass through before going to bed.
I took the liberty of annoying a few of you. Don't worry, it's a one time thing.
amyranth, lots of things are weird here
hello everyone, is it like the same people here every night?
Anon, you're in the right place for one anyway!
Unless they use the wrong identity, yeah.

hello pyskhe,amyranth, and BC.
BC & Amy!
Have anymore blog chocolate, or did the anons eat it all?
Okay Anon. Thanks.
Sorry, I stepped away. Just did a few things around this tiny house; dishes and such...hubby will be home soon. Gotta look like I wasn't here in blogbelieve all night! ^_~
Hey how did that happen? Stupid. I just got signed out of blogger.
I was 1:51.
The chocolate belonged to an anon. Anon gave it to J.
Doing ok, as far as I can tell, but then again I don't know everything. :D
I'd meant to mention this earlier, but we watched a concert tonight on VH1 Classics. It was Queen at Wembley in '86. It was fantastic! I've always loved them anyway, but watching the show reminded me why.
And if Gerard didn't "purloin" the Black Parade uniforms from Freddie Mercury's white and red uniform, I'll buy him a whole Starbucks store. Same jacket design, same strips across the front, same stripes down the pant legs.
All the BP's were missing was the fancy cape. :D
You could see where he gets some of his moves, too. It was great!
AG? Should I kick myself? I really do not know who this is referring to. Any hints?
what happened to cupcake?
every time I try to go back a page it errors
stupid blogger

Did they give it to me? Oh Hell, I got confused. i thought THEY got it from Amy and were just telling me about it.
Chocolate Anon, where'd you go?
*looks behind curtains*
oh J i've seen that it's a fantastic concert
and G does owe a lot to the Freddy mercury School of Satge Mastery
*gives a box of chocolate truffles to anon*
There you go :)
ot the Freddy Mercury School of Stage Mastery
Ergo, don't you just love Freddie? He was such a presence. When we first saw the "Helena" video, one of the things I told L was, "He reminds me of Freddie Mercury so bad!" Meaning G, of course, and as a compliment.
Gerard could have that same stage presence if he let himself go, you know? He's got some of it, but not quite all yet. Practice, G, practice!
Oh Amy!!
My guinea pig is getting her fuzz back :)thanks for your help
Oh, and Cupcake's grandfather was taken to the hospital, he had what may have been a stroke. They called an ambulance, and she came on here to kind of calm down and wait for them to show up.
Thank you BC, I was the anon *stupid blogger* Needed some after I got off the phone with the hubby. He was peeved at me for getting him up so early just to talk. :(
Ergo, what do you learn there?
J, the outfit is still cute. And I think Will from Academy Is... reminds me of Mick Jagger.
-A
Ergo! Oh, good! Nobody else got infected either?
Hang onto that cream too, you never know when the kid might get ringworm :P
-A
Really, Amy? I think I've only ever seen one video by them--no, wait, it was just a song, on Music Choice. I've never seen them perform. I'm assuming he's the lead singer?
Psykhe, what does your husband do? (That sounded kind of bossy, but it wasn't intended to, sorry!)
J, even in the videos, he's kinda Jagger-ish. Ask Mira, I'm sure she's seen them live!
-A
thanks J I hope he's ok they can do so much with quick treatment
and Psykhe you learn how to ensure every eye is on you when performing, except for eyes that stray to mop headed lead guitarists ;)
"Mop-headed lead guitarists"
Or "heavily tattooed rhythm guitarists". :D
Oh! 'Scuse me, had a moment there.
Will is a bit jaggerish, though much more feminine
Still hilarious to see in concert. He's funny when he shakes his skinny little hips.
-A
funny how Gerard is Freddyish and Ray is Brian Mayish and their sound on TBP is Quenish
You're not bossy OP J, he works in information technology.
I'm not crazy about tattoos, although some artistic ones look good.
Seems like I remember one of them saying they listened to a lot of Queen while writing the Black Parade.
Some things look familar here:
OH YEAH!
Everything influences. No getting around it. Even if you do not remember where it came from...
It is the beauty of music. Of the Arts in general.
Win?
Close?
Oh I'm glad you didn't think so, Psykhe! So he's an IT guy. My older nephew is an IT guy, he worked for SAIC when he lived here. They have contracts with various companies to do their IT stuff, one of which is BP.
Weird little roundabout connection there. :)
Oh oh!

i hopped over to my lj for a bit to make a new post there. and now, unfortunately, i should probably be thinking about hitting the hay.
between posting all the art, and chair dancing to tbp, i'm just sooooo tired. :(

no?
fooey. :D
Mayo
Not present but here in spirit. The day was spent mulling over unwanted thoughts. Unwanted but not surprising. So tonight I’ve shelved them. Forced those thoughts in a box and placed them high where they can’t be reached. Sure, they will return but I need a reprieve.
Take care. Perhaps tomorrow night will find the situation has changed.
