It is everything built to borrow
made of a moment or two of sorrow
with a roof pitched of tar and nicotine
and everything good that is in between
that has taken three hundred days
sometimes filtered through a painted haze
while holding breath without suffocation
there is love and hate, anguish and elation

«Oldest ‹Older 3001 – 3200 of 4101 Newer› Newest»not the same anon who asked the question.
giving a reply about TUA. I bought it for the author like I do with other books or things I read. Honestly thought it would be different. I wasn't that enthralled with the whole plot. I used to read comics as a kid. The scary ones.
Guess I was expecting something different along the lines of ghosts and the undead things of that nature.
The illustrations are astounding.
I just wasn't sure what all the hoopla was about, but seeing it received an industry award it must be quite imaginative.
From what I know about the plot, it's pretty damn good. Gerard's a good story-teller. It's just the truth he has trouble with.
Well, don't I just feel dumb now?
I was like, "Yeah, an atomic flying elbow! Awesome!"
I had no idea.
Huh.
No need to be sorry mustard :)
Besides, when you do have something to say I always enjoy reading you.
Yeah, what she said.
I'm boxing at the moment so let me take a quick breath in before I put in my response.
Anon, I'll be honest, I got interested in TUA because it was being written by of course, none other than GW because some of his ideas are interesting, but when I heard about the plot, that prety much catched my interest entirely, because it was something that was a bit diferent from the usual comics that you hear or read.
It was just different from anything else I read, so I was curious enough to buy the first issue, and from then on, the rest was history.
Aw, well, thanks! I appreciate that! :)
Iz you fizzy, Fizzy?
Thanks you for your response 8:56, I agree the artist is to be commended.
And thank you for your reply BC!
Mustard you are most welcome ^_^
That's my favorite part of a soda, the fizz part? They always tingle my nose when they pop up from the glass.
LOL, no one was impressed by my response of "not seen it, not fuddged".
That fizz made me choke on my coke last night.
Just sayin...
Did anyone else have one of those crappy soda streams that put the fizz in flat pop?
They were pointless.
TUA is an excellent book. Apparently Jim Lee is illustrating the covers for Series 2. Great news, but I want more James Jean.

I think 8:30 and 8:48 are having a secret rendezvous.
*whispers* Maybe we should leave them alone ^_^

Like a fountain drink, MissT?
I think fountain drinks are 22 billion and half times better than regular canned or bottled sodas.
No problem anon :)
Hi fizzy.
Hiya Amy.
Moostard, it was like this thing that had a little tank of fizz in it and you shoved the flat drink up inside it and pressed the button and the fizz was blown in.
They were an early 80's thing.
OOOOOOOHHHHH, I know what you're talking about.
Hiya Amy
Well, I am off to bed now.
It has been fun tonight.
Nighty night everyone.
Nighty night meffers ^_^
'Allo MissT!
I remember growing up that a kid in the neighbourhood had an in-home soda machine. You still can't find raspberry soda as good as that stuff. The black cherry was really good too.
-A
Goodnight Miss T :)
*giggles*
♥ticklish♥
"but when I heard about the plot, that prety much catched my interest entirely,"
I think you mean "caught" your interest.
Just popping back yo say Hi and Bye amy.
The things of our youth always tasted the best.
Nighty night anon.
Nighty night everyone.
(am gone for good this time)
Hallo BC! How's it going?
-A
*rolls eyes*
Anyway...9:15, I understood her. We all make spelling mistakes.
yeah I noticed a few errors in my last comment. Uh, thanks anon.
Goodnight Miss T, sweet dreams. Hi other anons.
Goodnight MissT! Nice to catch you for a moment!
-A
We are throwing one of my co-workers a pre-wedding party tomorrow afternoon. I have to leave to catch a bus to the airport 15 minutes before it starts.
>_<
Nothing much Amy. How about yourself?
Make that 15 minutes after i catch the bus.
I don't even get to be there for the first wee bit. :(
Poor RW :(
Not much BC, just looking at my ever-shrinking paycheck.
You know, it sucks. I find a job I can really connect with, and it's definitely not going to pay me the money I need. I might have to get a second job. Or start working insane overtime.
Hiya RW!
Well, time for me to turn in. Long day tomorrow.
Have a lovely night, everyone :)
*squeezes BC*
Hiya, A! :D
Er... bye, A!
Gots to get my sleep!
Goodnight RW! Have fun bus hopping!
Don't believe anything Sdock is about to post.
Bwahaha!
Goodnight RW sweet dreams, and good luck for tomorrow.
*squeezes RW*
Amy, damn. A shrinking paycheck? That sucks. Unfortunately, it's happening a lot. Good luck with the potential second job search.
Why whatever do you mean, Oh mathy one?
BC, I know. Life is getting too expensive to live. Not cool at all.
So, I'm comforting myself with Mitch Hedberg quotes.
Amy, isn't it? It sucks. That's why sometimes I'm envious of animals. They don't have to pay the bills, the mortgage, or get harrassed by credit card companies or find employment.
My way of escaping from stress like that is by reading.
Mine is coloring and comedy. If I can't laugh or make something pretty, I'm not happy.
-A
Never confuse the size of your paycheck with the size of your talent.”
When did Mayo remove Caught in the Method from his profile?
Ummm, it was a couple hours ago, I think. Dunno. I guess as soon as he got UNcaught, then poof he was gone.
Sometime earlier tonight, I think.
Sorry, I was scoping out the origin of that quote. :)
A couple of hours ago, I think? About 8:00 or around there?
Unless, he is playing Lurky McLurkinpeeps and he's setting a new trap to get caught up in.
Caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby.
Because I love you too much baby!
"I like rice. Rice is great when you're hungry and want 2,000 of something."
STOP IT! Get outta my head!
hmmm...I thought Elvis had already left the building.
Nuuuuuu!
You get out mine!
No, no, no. Elvis was just caught in the trap.
I just let him out.
Why can't ya see what you're doing to me?
You don't believe a word I say.
PPU,
I know that you are prolly out helping old ladies with their groceries, saving the planet, and building rainbows and such, but Mustard really, really really needs a math tutor.
Can you help a sistah out?
She's shitting you, PPU.
Abort, Abort. Do not listen to her.
;)
Mayo!!!!!!!!!
We can't go on together
With suspishhus minds!
SUSPISHHHHHHUS MINDS!
And we can't build our dreams
on suspicious miiiiiiinds!
PPU,
MIB does need a tutor. When you come back I will explain why. You will laugh-out-freaking-loud. I promise.
^_^
Night BlogBelieve!
Amy, here here! Comedy is always the best.
One of the greatest joys in life :)
Mustard,
Do not be ashamed at your
non-mathiness! Let the Unicorn help you.
The first step is admitting you have a problem...
Wait, you can't count, so how can I explain this?
I ♥ that song.
I love that choir vocal right there. Makes me happy.
Thank you very much. Elvis has left the building and is in my head
Get out of my head!
"In summary illicit drug use should be considered as reason for spontaneous pneumomediastinum and pneumothorax in otherwise healthy young people with respiratory symptoms."
Pneumothorax is a collapsed lung which is what LynZ had.
Source.
Wait, you can't count, so how can I explain this?
Oh man, you're digging yourself a really deeeeeeeeep hole.
;)
Pash, you said "hole."
Goodnight solly
Hear, hear, 10:12. I seem to remember that connection myself.
Bad times.
Mustard,
Care to tell me how deep? Like in inches? If I have been digging for 7 hours and I have 12,000 pounds of dirt, and my shovel is 8 feet long? How deep is my hole?
And do I have cable tv and electricity down there?
Anon, spontaneous pneumothorax or "collapsed lung" in layman's terms is often associated with the use of Extasy.
Also through cocaine use. O_O
Sdock,
You are killing me! Hahaha!
Seriously, I sucked at problems like that. Those train problems? "This one leaves the station at such and such a time, and the next one 55 miles away leaves the station at this time, when and where do they meet?"
Those problems? Yeah.
I always said to myself, "I HOPE THEY DON'T CRASH!!!" Pretty much left it at that.
Actually, a little searching has turned up that spontaneous pneumothorax among relatively young people is most downright prevalent in regular users of cocaine.
Mustard,
The questions you should have asked were:
What color was the train?
Is the train that goes by Folsom Prison?
How hard is the wind blowing?
What are they serving for lunch?
Are the passengers asleep?
And crack, Kapu. COllapsed lungs happen when you smoke crack.
I left out a "this".
Is this the train that goes by Folsom Prison?
And if so, is it going to blow it's whistle?
For Toujours:
@(o|o)@
That's all.
Never smoked crack, never did X.
Mustard,
If Solly hasn't tried those two, how many hasn't she tried?
Yes, and crack cocaine.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that.
Two? I'm not very mathy. ;)
i'm sure she was on something. i never heard of someone collapsing a lung from doing back bends.
It should also be noted that a spontaneous pneumothorax can be caused by weak spots on the lung without any drug use.
Solly,
How much leverage does it take from ones foot to kick ones ass?
Spontaneous pneumothorax is quite rare and usually has an underlying cause. I'm just saying that a little research has turned up that it's prevalent in users of coke and crack cocaine.
A few months ago I might have worried, but now I'm just pointing it out. What can ya do? ABsolutely dick.
Mustard,
Now, you know you can't do physics if you can't even do math! I'm not helping you out with that one. One, count em, ONE, step at a time. Baby ones.
Jules,
You get a homework pass for answering correctly.
You're unbelievable!
If LHM and Jules gets a homework pass, damn it, I want one, too!
;)
Research:
Primary spontaneous pneumothorax. This usually occurs in otherwise healthy people with no history of chest trauma. It's most common in tall, thin men — many of them smokers — between 20 and 40 years of age. Primary spontaneous pneumothorax is thought to develop when a small air blister (bleb) on the lung ruptures. Blebs are caused by a weakness in the lung tissue and can rupture from changes in air pressure when you're scuba diving, flying, mountain climbing or, according to some reports, listening to extremely loud music.
Primary spontaneous pneumothorax can run in families, and researchers think that genetic factors also may play a role. A primary spontaneous pneumothorax is usually mild because pressure from the collapsed portion of the lung in turn collapses the bleb.
It could, 10:24, but it's less likely considering ma-ha-ha-hany other factors; it is rare in people who aren't really tall and really thin; there is rarely anything totally out of the blue and without reason in the human body; and could also be caused by an untreated lung infection.
But still, it just seems that way.
Mustard,
Your homework assignment for tonight is to count sheep. I know it seems like it might be too hard, but you can do it! Just focus and do your best!
BlogBelieve,
Goodnight and remember this, teach a non-mathy person to count! We can change this world, ONE person at a time, then two, then 3, and so on and so forth!
Mwah! Mwah!
Occam's Razor, anon.
And, What Would House Think? ;D
Okay, will do! *mutters*
NIGHT, GUYS!
Goodnight, Mayo! I hope you're doing okay! Glad you're with us on this day and all days. :)
Goodnight, SS! I hope everything's okay, and if it isn't, I hope it straightens itself out soon. :) Night, buddy.
Goodnight and remember this, teach a non-mathy person to count! We can change this world, ONE person at a time, then two, then 3, and so on and so forth!
*kicks your ass*
Mayo,
How was your day?
I see you are UNcaught. Well, I hope that's for the best. I hope you got UNcaught with super mad trap maneuvering skils. I don't want to think about you gnawing your legs off or something terrible like that to break free.
Fuck, I just did think about it. And for totally more than a second, I seriously pondered on it. Deadly serious. And my imagination runs wild and amuck and strangely on this far side of insanity, not that side.
I'm trying to avoid the traps, that's why I stay on this side of the street.
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. Wait a minute....what's this?
(Snap)
Mustard,
How many toes did you use to kick my ass?
None of that matters to me really. I'm just speaking as someone who has experience with a spontaneous pneumothorax or two, that's all. Nothing meant by it.
I'm sorry to hear that, anon. I guess I just go by House's way of thinking in terms of all possible scenarios and how the most likely one is pretty much the most likely. If you're talking about a band that gleefully writes about the use of cocaine, it's a fairly safe guess that it could have been a factor.
10:37, I know who you are! Do I get a cookie?
Do I get a clue? O_o
Sure... just not one of my peanut butters. I must be off before I'm caught slacking. Take it easy.
K, it's our "old friend" with the lame lung.
MY old friend? I have missed my old friend! O_O
Lame lung? Okay, I laughed. My other lung is not only cooler but the over use has left it super effective.
No we don't 9:18. We all definitely do not make spelling, grammar and punctuation errors. Some of us are so perfect and make no mistakes at all. Giving us the right to judge and constantly point out the errors and mistakes of others. Didn't you read the blog bylaws?
;-)
Jules, you had a different name for me but that's not important.
Anon, enjoy the cookie and the email reply you'll get in 5-10ish minutes.
Goodnight and remember this, teach a non-mathy person to count! We can change this world, ONE person at a time, then two, then 3, and so on and so forth!

I am taking this as a personal insult, as I totally suck at math :p
Night solly! Hi various anons.
Did it start with a Z? ^_^

Yes, it should be noted. It happens to people have never touched drugs in their life.
*nods*
Hi BC.
It may also be due to:
* Chronic lung pathologies including emphysema, asthma
* Acute infections
* Chronic infections, such as tuberculosis
My best friend dated a guy that had such severe asthma as a child that he'd had a lung collapse while on summer vacation.

Correct you are, Amyranth.
Exactly... and of all the "fun" reasons one might get it, I'm blessed with bad genes and weak spots from premature lungs. Even my illnesses are dorky.
Jen I'd hug you but I know how you are with that. :p You have that surgery yet? Why carry around half a useless lung?
Your illnesses aren't dorky, 11:06. They just make you extra rare -- or more special, if you wish to think of it that way.
:-)
I was blessed with bad eyesight. Only a matter of time before I get a seeing eye dog, I guess. :P
Unless I can train one of the cats.
Ha!
Anyway, I should go to bed.
Known Unknown Anons, have a lovely evening, bad genes or not.
Lovelies, Mayo and SS, Goodnight!
-A
I like my lungs whole, thank you. Too chicken, too broke, too busy... take your pick.
Goodnight Amy, sweet dreams.
Amyranth will make history as the first person with a seeing eye cat.
How about a seeing eye ferret? I hear they're easy to train to walk on leashes. They get a little nervous around large vehicles. Might not be such a good idea to have a seeing eye ferret.
**shrugs and scratches head**
'Nite Amyranth and Bleeding Chaos.
'Nite anons and blog.
Too willing to give up, I say.
hello.
*waves on way through to the kitchen for coffee*
Goodnight anon, sweet dreams. Hiya TJ
Too... uninterested. HA! I win. Now seriously, I'm sneaking back to bed before I have to 'splain staying up late on a school night. 5:30 comes too freakin quick lately.
*returns with cuppa joe*
hi there bc.
Night night anon. What are you up to on this Thursday night TJ?
5'4", just like always.
*hehe* sorry, bad old joke. :)
i'm not doing too much tonight, bc. how about you?
someone left you a seekret message toujours
Same here TJ. I'm just watching the simpsons at the moment.
man, i haven't watched the simpsons in forever bc. :)
anon, a sooper seekret message? coooooooooooool. i'll go get my decoder ring!
oh! and ear anon: i see you! stop staring! lol :)
**sighs**
i want a seekret message. mayhaps mine is so super seekret it's invisible.
11:49, all seekret messages are invisible, it's why i haven't been able to find mine. and i looked under rocks, and everything!
Face it toujours, you got one because you're special ^_~
awww, shucks.
srsly though, i didn't find a secret message. my inner nancy drew is very disappointed.
Hi there anon :)
Snot nose.
*tsk*
that's not nice.
Hello! Is there anything worth backreading for? Because I'm feeling kinda lazy right now!
Hi Carrie
Oh, I did scan through and see someone I miss, so hello, someone I miss!
hey BC! Did you get your hair done today?
And I am using way too many exclamation marks, so I will caaaalm doooown now.
hey there carrie. :)
Carrie, nope. I gotta wait until Saturday :)
How are you?
Not good, right now, to be honest.
There's nothing good before around 11 PM
Hey everyone
hi elena, feeling any better? :)
carrie, what's wrong?
Tj, I had a supposed friend drop me like a fucking hot potato and never tell me what I did wrong. I've tried and tried, and now I'm just starting to get pissed.
Hey all, what's new in the Castle tonight?
hi j. :)
carrie, that really sucks. is your friend going through a difficult time right now, that might be a reason for them acting like that? i don't blame you for being upset, though.
Hey J, how are you? Nothing much going on. It's pretty slow in here tonight.
Hi Elena. Are you feeling any better?
Hello TJ, Carrie and J
TJ I'm feeling a bit better but mostly because I slept most of the day. Probably took too much Nite Time cold medicine but it did make me sleep.
Oh hi BC.
How are you this evening?
Hey TJ, BC, Carrie
Hey Elena, I was gonna call you earlier, but I had some errands to run, and L was having a "fatigue" day, so no go there either. And now the phone battery's gone out again. :P At least you slept a lot today, that will help you recuperate.
No, not that I can tell, TJ. She just got up one day and said hmm, don't like her anymore.
hello!
just got home *phew*
maybe you ignored certain important things
I'm okay Elena, watching some South Park. I'm glad you're feeling a bit better today.
I would love to know what.
Howdy Ergo
Good to see you.
J- I got my card today. Uh, interesting and enlightening.
Hi Ergo
Hey Ergo and OP J!
maybe your idea of something is different to the other person's idea of something
And BC and Elena
wow, carrie. all i can say is not much a friend, and you're probably better off. still, it doesn't make you feel better, i'd guess.
but you still have all of us!! :D
*hugs*
elena, i'm glad to hear you're feeling better. sleep is really all you can do, you know that -- but you're probably so sick of seeing the inside of your own eyelids after your previous illness. *pets*
Yeah TJ I'm pretty tired of sleeping. I've got way too much to do.
So has anything interesting happened here tonight?
hiya BC carrie Tj elena J anon
carrie that is an awful thing, happened to me once too, turned out it was an issue they had which had nothing to really do with me, I was just sort of caught in the fallout.
It was a shame but then I moved away and it was never resolved
anon, I get you, but if this person was the friend I thought they were, they would feel free to tell me where I was fucking up and I would accept it and try to work on it.
hi ergo! :)
hmmmmmm elena, interesting you say?
one of my boys got a haircut, he went from shaggy mop to young boy in one day!
Ergo, I do think it's an issue that maybe I'm not involved in, but it hurts as in I valued the friendship and didn't want to lose it and as it stands seems there's nothing I can do to make it better.
maybe you're too much of a bitch
anything interesting....hmmmm.
the usual, i think?
Hi Ergo and Anon
So you liked the card? :D YAY! Oh, BTW Elena, I plan to call the Hilton tomorrow (well, today) and chew some manager ass. I told the front desk "manager" that if I had to, I would contact the owner of the hotel, and by fuck I will if I have to. I'll bet his staff doesn't talk to HIM like a moronic four year old.
Carrie, I'm sorry to hear about your troubles with your friend. Is there anything we can do to help you?
whoa, 1:13. that is harsh and totally uncalled for. you were taking part in a conversation, and then with that you just started name-calling. that's not the proper way to have a conversation.
carrie my friend was one of my best friends, I went on to do a post grad diploma, she to study for her masters and I sort of came to realise I was no longer fitting her "life image" with the people she was now with. I was just sort of forgotten.
I had other friends who she did the same to, we thought we'd done something but her attitude to us asking was that she didn't have time etc, so eventually I just thought "well, it's her choice"
very sweet!
maybe things just their course
maybe they saw the futility of things
maybe they're just letting you live your life the way you see fit
maybe they are doing you a favor
maybe toujours is onto something, if you don't think they are much a friend, you're probably better off without them :)
J what happened?
me
9
oh YAY!!!!!!
*happy dance*
she's still got it
*snap*
^ran
better you than me, ergo. :)
Ergo, one of the front desk minions was terribly rude to us on two separate occasions, and because of her neglecting to give us a proper ending balance, gave Elena shit about the valet parking bill. But the rudeness is my main concern. One of her comments to me was, "She (the night desk-girl) shouldn't even have let you in the ROOM without you paying the full bill." I was thinkin', Bitch, you better back off that edge you're on. When she saw us in person, she was all syrupy nice and apologetic. Then the next morning she was rude to me again on the phone.
I had to get Punk on her and her manager-queen.
what is 9? and ^ran?
am I missing something?
no worries Tj happy to oblige
yeah, that's me, always the bitch.
J that's fair enough, it's the reputation of the hotel she's going to affect if it's something she does to guests
J
Give em' hell but just so the valet guys don't get in trouble. They were super nice especially the one who recognized my vampire tattoo. Did I tell you he called me three times on my way home to tell me how sorry he was about my bag and he wanted me to call him so he knew for sure it reached my house.
Ergo
Your late birthday gift is on it's way. Oh and I addressed the package to you and your daughter since some of the stuff in there is for her.
Going to bed, night guys.
