even if no one gets me, if i'm the only one laughing at my jokes, i won't hide myself away from life. it's uncertain and it's dirty and it's fucking exciting, and i want to be a part of all of it.
it's too good to waste in hiding.

heart full
Today on my way home from class, I stopped off at the petrol station for some petrol. I paid on my card which wasn’t a lot, and then as I was getting into my car, I saw an old man walking past the building. He had a red and green stripy jumper which was frayed at the ends. He was also wearing some jeans that were dirty and had holes all over.
I sat there and became intrigued by him because I didn’t know what he was doing, so as I sat there and watched him, he continued doing what he set out to do.
He walked past the trash cans and first picked out a cup with some drink still in it (one of the cups that you get from burger king that has coke in it). He then walked over to the next trash can and pulled out the end of a half eaten sandwich. In my shock horror, he ate it and then went to sit on the wall to drink the drink he had found.
I felt sad, I wanted to give him my last $4 that I had but I was told when I was younger that you should never give people money, you should give them something they need or can use because that way, if they had an addiction, they would not be able to use the money for their addiction. So I went into the shop and bought a chicken sandwich from their deli counter and then walked out of the building.
The guy was still sat at the wall drinking his drink so I walked up to him and asked him if he would like this sandwich. He thanked me and said that he was hungry.
I should of felt good after that, doing something for someone else but all I could think of is where his next meal will come from or where in fact he will sleep tonight.

Jennicula,
Thank you for sharing your story. Although it only appeared briefly, I was lucky enough to have caught it.
Once upon a time, for me, that was the best part of this place...having my words related back to me from another's perspective.
And it never mattered to me who said it, just that it meant something to the writer.

Don't let anyone tell you how to live your life. Hold your head up high and be proud of who you are. If you've had a shitty day and you feel like people just don't want you to be happy, and when you find yourself struggling to make it through the day, just keep on believing and keep the faith. Also, from personal experience, don't push people away. When they say they want to help and that they are there for you, let them in. Believe me, I know how fucking scary that thought is, but don't shut others out.

Retro-spectacled
Sometimes, when you look back on stuff in your life, you know, the crap that makes you shake your head and say, "Holy shit, what the Hell was I thinking?" it's part of what makes you - you.
I'm not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. I have made small mistakes and really big, fucking scary mistakes. Would I change those mistakes and blunders?
No. Wanna know why?
Because they make me - me. They help make up the person that I am, what I've learned the hard way. Hopefully I've learned from my mistakes and have become a better person for it. And, hopefully I don't repeat those same mistakes. Although, sometimes I repeat variations of certain ones, but I'm working on that. :)

aloft
Blazing against the sun
like locusts,
samaras swarm the sky
and skitter to an earthly end,
dry
like clever words.
I want to make them fly up,
flip heaven upside down
and dance across the top of hell
and sing your thoughts
to the sound of thunder
that you love so well,
rip open the littered sky
and bathe in the light
or draw across the firmament
the blanket of the night.
In only a day they have
covered the ground,
their brief flight
yielding nothing permanent
on infertile land,
a fleeting moment of swarming glory
that calls to mind our own
short story:
Diamonds and petals,
the loom and the light,
the inkdark moon, foxfire marsh,
an open, waiting hand.
Clever winged seeds
of childhood reminiscent--
and like the idiot grown-up heart,
as stubbornly indehiscent.

Electric Blue
…today I saw a ulysses butterfly it was in our yard and settled to feed on our hibiscus. They really are fantastically beautiful things, the electric blue is amazing, however as they sit with their wings closed they are rather nondescript and dull. Sometimes people are like that, from the outside they seem unappealing but within there hides an amazing beauty for those lucky enough to see it. I hope you appreciate beauty in all things, and look for it perhaps where others miss it.

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL.
I read your post again and suddenly without warning memories of construction paper filled my head. I remembered all the lop-sided flowers my girls made when they were young. Bright blue, yellow and pink flowers that were cut out with blunt end scissors would fill the windows to decorate for Easter. An occasional bunny was attempted but those usually ended up looking like creatures from a horror movie. Flowers were so much easier. I can close my eyes and hear the paper being cut into petals. I can smell the Elmer’s glue squirted on in huge blobs to attach each misshapen petal to form the flowers. We had a huge arts and crafts box full of wonderful items just waiting for their imaginations to turn into something wonderful. In my mind I see my daughters, as they once were, small, blond little girls sitting on the floor surrounded by scraps of paper and other art supplies. They would create their masterpieces then proudly show each other. Oh and Lord the messes that would ensue if the glitter made an appearance. Now, the box is forgotten. I’m not really sure where it even is anymore. The few flowers so lovingly created that survived are faded and dusty and high on a shelf they sit. Time marches on, so many things get left behind.
Today was the first Easter I spent alone. I don’t think it really upset me until I remembered the construction paper flowers. Of course I understand that my daughters are growing up and have lives of their own. But understanding doesn’t make it any easier to accept. I miss my little girls in their frilly Easter dresses. I miss the laughter that filled the house when they found what the Easter Bunny left for them. And I miss making the damn flowers.

I wonder if you noticed
all our friends playing
Some had never tried before
and the result was amazing.
Poems from the corner

We did our best to keep them flowing
Late into this night.
If nothing else was accomplished

goodnight lovlies. play nice please. or
not...
Goodnight 8:30. Good doing business with you, as always.
I'll tell Wendy you said that 8:27. I know it will make her happy. She would hate knowing she's disappointed you. I think she's a little tied up right now. I'm sure she'll be here to offer her assistance later. Hang on until she gets here.
:)
Haa.. Carrie. Mayo is Sherlock. Wendy is Dr. Watson.
She knows who I am.
*leaves choco whipped cream and strawberries in the kitchen*
I only took two, I swear!
*wipes mouth full of whipped cream and smiles with strawberries hanging out of mouth*
Goodnight sweethearts, goodnight!
Sudden influx of family talky talking in my face, so I gotta sign off. I say play nice, full stop. See, I know from Miss T if I say period, she thinks of something else. :)
Hey! If Wendy is tied up as you say, I would never want to disturb her in that situation! I love the visual of it all! haha!
Night again!
Hello?
St. Elena! Hugs E! Why are people aresholes? Why are some bigger than others? O_0
Enjoy your night. Get some rest tonight please.
Uh...I dunno anon.
I'm very confused about what is going on. I've been gone all day and came here hoping to talk to everyone.
Oh, but thanks for the hug.
Well Fuck.
My oven just exploded.
-A
Gnothi, the answer to your riddle is different rivers, isn't it? ;)
I just looked at the letters and opened my eyes and I saw all the names of different rivers.
Amy! Do you have your eyebrows?
I hope so.
Hallo 9:41!
Yes, I have my eyebrows, but I need a new element for my oven now. Yargh.
How's your night going?
-A
0_o
Dongs?
Ding-Dongs?

Kapunua, I have to ask. If you were sincere about not commenting at Mayo's since the anons made it harder for everyone, why did you come here to ask Gnothi that question when you could have just gone to her blog? I'm not being ugly about it, just wondering why.
Because everyone associated SS's answer with me, even though I never mentioned anything about rivers. I also assumed he happened to be watching the same TV show since it ran all day. I figured maybe they'd quit if I said so.
Dare I ask why you care?
stank on your hang low?
Lynz's the stank on gerards hang low. though I don't think it hang's that low!!
o_0
LynZ's hang low probably hangs lower than Gerard's.
That shit will never wash off of him.
Gerard's junk will forever smell like fish and cheese.
*wrinkles her nose at 10:10*
Why would anyone WANT to smell it? Yuck.
-A
glad to hear you have eyebrows.
sorry to hear about your oven.
how did your turkey come out? maybe it was a big bird and the poor oven couldn't handle it
you have to smell it when you're up close. Some dick's are nice and clean. Would anyone ever go near Gerard's after he had stuck it in her fishy taco? Never
10:13, the turkey was fantastic. And I was wondering if it was food or something that had blown the element, but no. The oven just decided to catch fire by itself.
Bloody thing.
-A
10:15, does it matter? It's kind of gross to talk about. :P
-A
10:10,
Just eww. Thanks for the mental image.
Hallo Amy and 10:13 anon!
Gerard's gonna have to bleach his junk to get that stank out.
it is gross. They are both gross and skanky.
Hallo BC! How's it going?
-A
Nothing much Amy, just doing a bit reading. How about you? Sorry about your oven.
BC, looking for oven parts online. This is me, Captain Excitement.
Whatcha reading?
-A
Hungry like the...huh.....what??
and now for something really HOTTT... A little Vamp music.
You may continue with ya'lls cattiness now. ;)
That's too bad Amy ^_^
I'm reading this book called daughters of the moon. It's influenced by Greek mythology.
Hello Triston, long time no see.
Hello
and Hello to you lovely ladies also.
Just stopping by to say hello and leave a little music for your listening pleasure.
And BC...being as I am Greek I must say that must be an excellent book.
Now I must be off...very busy day tomorrrow.
I ♥ Nick Rhodes
Hallo MJ!
BC, sounds like a good book!
-A
Hello Amy, BC, Martha, Triston (long time, vamp), and any nice anons--I see the ride started without me.
Hello Amy and anon
I can't remember how to do hearts but I heart John Taylor.
Hello J, BC and TA
I just killed a spider
Simon's my ♥throb. :D
Hey Martha, we kill spiders here too. They're not cool b/c if they bite one of the fur babies, it could be fatal.
Amy, your...stove blew up?
Hallo J!
-A is on the phone
Amy my stove blow up about a month ago. We had to get a new one
Tristan! Missed my vamp! Your the only one (exception of a few) that is half sane! Good to see you. Later dude!
Hey mj. Hi J *hugs*
Amy, yep, it is. Goodnight Triston.
Tristan=Triston blushes
It's been that long. ♥
What happened to Blogger?
hello
I think it's working again, now.
I also think nobody else has noticed...
*hums quietly, picks up book, starts to read*

Martha! There you are. How are you feeling? Still having headaches?
*Grabs book from j*
ROCK AND ROLL
Hi mj, how are you? Hi there J
I am good J headaches have been gone for awhile again.
Hi BC
"hello, blogger cannot take your comment at this time, as it has temporarily stepped away from the internets. please leave you screen name and password, and it will get back to you as soon as possible. ranting is of no use, the internets is vast and impersonal, resistence is futile, yadda yadda yadda."
~beeeeeeeeeeeeep~
and hello. :)
Did Rock and roll kill the blog?
I guess I will post quotes from one of my favorite movie.
Ace: FUUUUUUUUUCK!
Ace: Rock 'n Roll is NOT over, baby! Rock 'n Roll NEVER DIES!
Guitar Wolf: Love has no borders, nationalities, or genders!
Ace: Hey mister, do you know 'Rock 'n Roll'?
Toshi: Don't get shitty!
Toshi: [to Masaou] You're fucking me off!
Guitar Wolf: [Repeated Line] ROCK N' ROLL!
Hey TJ! I can actually hear Blogger saying that. Just add a "ppthbbbthththbb" noise at the end of it. ;)
HEY BC! I tried writing you a big ol' comment THREE times, and motherfucking Blogger ate it. So I'll summarize:
I got your note at my blog, and you're welcome! It's an experience that always changes a person, whether for good or bad. Luckily we both were on the good side. You'll be fine b/c you're strong, and b/c we've always got your back. *hugs*
Martha, good to hear about the headache loss! Finally! I know you're relieved.
And give me back my book! *chases MJ around room*
Hello TJ
martha.
you could say hi, too.
*waves*
Hahaha I love that TJ. And hi there! *hugs*
*does a house and throws book into a vent*
hi j. :)
ha, looks like you were saying hi as i was saying you could say hi, martha. *oops*

Holy Weird!
I hung up the phone and you were gone!
And you were gone! *points*
And YOU were gone!
*sobs*
-A
hi bc! *hugs back*
That's okay J, and thank you so much. And eeps, I have also sent you an email :)
and now we're back, amyranth. *pets*
I am watching House and Googling John Taylor. it's a good night.
*is petted*
Oh, good! I thought that my internet had died. I was about to call my service provider and give them hell.
-A has eaten too many french fries.
Aw poor Amy. It's okay *hugs*

Soo full...

Why does this sound kinkier than it really is?
Amy, don't worry. If we leave you, we'll tell you first. *pets*
BC, I'll check on that email in a few. I'm trying to write one to Bob (aka CTV) since it's been, like, MONTHS since she wrote me. I suck at email. Usually.
TJ, how the Hell are ya? What book do you have for us today? Martha threw mine in a vent.
*sticks tongue out at Martha*
Amy hello
poor poor amyranth.
*sets down a glass of alka-seltzer*
J I got an Email from CTV earlier today. She is busy with school work.
'Allo MJ!
*groan*
*grabs for the glass of alka-seltzer*
-A
*grabs J tongue*
i'm reading the third merry gentry book, j. seduced by moonlight (said lasciviously). it's good.
and i also read the dc graphic novel kingdom come today, the one painted by alex ross -- well, i didn't so much read it as flip through looking at my favorite panels. :)
Okay there isn't a new post so where are you people
um.
hello?
i was wondering the same thing, martha.
Maahaa, et oh uh I ung!
*pulls tongue back in mouth*
You...should expect the unexpected, woman! *plots revenge on Martha silently*
I thought CTV was done with school? How much more does she have to go?
TJ, I love DC comics. They always look so good.
Amy, here, have a pillow and a blanket. *covers you up and puts fluffed pillow under your head*
*perks up*
Sorry, still being blah over here.
I really just have nothing interesting to say.
-A
Still here guys
She said work so I assume it was school work. I don't know how much she has but it has kept her busy.
I tried about a dozen times to send that email, and it kept saying "error on page". Bastard. I had to copy the text, shut down the email, reopen, paste the text, and THEN send it. It finally went through.
BOB! I hope you get that thing! It's been bein' a weasel! :D
I know what you mean, Amy. Although I'm glad it's calm in here right now.
TJ, I love DC comics. They always look so good.
i don't read a lot of them, j., and even less now that i'm giving wonder woman a rest, but alex ross is amazing. it's like he has the real individuals pose for him, they are so solidly believable.
I have a headache.
Anon I feel your pain.
:( for 12:17
and MJ.
My ipod finished charging so
i am off.
goodnight
*gives 12:17 a lavender wrap for the head*
I just caught up with all the comments on the previous page. I'm frazzled now.
Martha, good to see you here tonight :)
good night martha, sweet dreams. (do you have a headache too? take another lavender wrap.)
To be honest, TJ, I don't read enough comics anymore to know the different artists. I've read "superhero" novels for many years, and they have some of the comic artists', well, art in them. I've come to recognize certain names, but I couldn't look at one and say, "Oh, that's by so-and-so." I appreciate most artists in that line of work.
*calls to all comic book artists*
HEY, ALL YOU FOLKS ARE GOOD!
Maybe they'll hear that. ;)
BC, I'm working on your email reply. :)
page 18 really should have caution tape across it.
I'm sorry, Anon with a headache. Would you like some Tylenol or something? Here, sit on the couch.
Hello all the anons!
Goodnight Martha! Have a good night.
Well thank you anon and tj. No headache just remembering the ones I have had in the past
Thanks for the lavender wrap toujours. Mmmm, smell nice :)
J, if it gets any worse I might need one.
you're welcome, martha, anon. they're made with flannel...so soft. :)
j., i think if you saw a painting by alex ross you'd recognize it. his work is very unique...he paints with watercolors, even the interior work, and it's quite photo-realistic. gorgeous stuff.
12.28, just let me know. Have you had any caffeine today?
Martha, I realize I have written the most inane comment almost ever. "Goodnight Martha, have a good night." I must REALLY want you to! How about "I hope you sleep well" instead?
TJ, I'll have to Google him so I can see.
Okay, I'm crashing.
Goodnight Lovelies, Mayo and SS!

One last thing.
Here is a kitty and a doggy for everyone.
=^.^=
(|'.'|)
Goodnight Amy! Good luck with the stove.
Cute, Martha! Good job with the doggy. :)
Hey...where's the 'Weed? And Elena? And Ergo? And Wendy?
Thanks for the offer J :)
good night amyranth, sweet dreams. :)
good night again martha, i'll take the kitty! :3
j., i'm sure a quick google image search will do the trick.
Goodnight mj and amy sweet dreams. J, I got your email :)
Hi there anon
Cute Martha. Sleep well :)
Hey BC!
For some reason I keep thinking today was Sunday.
o.m.g.
hello
I just got home from work
I think i need coffee, not that it was a bad day I just feel tired
Thanks MJ
Hi ergo. Sorry to hear that :/
Hey Ergo, join the club. I think we're all tired tonight. Amy's stove blew up earlier.
BC, did you say you sent another email? Haven't gotten it yet.
(')> fuck people won't let me go to sleep in my house the bastards. Can you tell what my face is?
I know I had a quick chat on gmail while I had lunch
*sssshhhhhhhhhhhhhh* don't tell work
and she said, what happened? has she gone to bed now?
I saw mention of flames, it's all ok?
Martha you're back!
I can't tell what that face is, but you should see mine after I just looked at your blog.
hi there ergo.
martha, i cannot figure out what your face is.
(' )> I was trying to make a bird.
Was it the boobies. those are what get most people.
@@@

Oh I see the bird!
cute!!
Yes, it was martha.
I was kinda thinking he could borrow one of my pretty bras ^_~
I like your sheep ergo.
J, it didn't? That sucks. That's okay though.
hahaha the GW as ronald mcdonald is on the facebook
thanks anon, it took a fair bit of tweaking with the preview button
I'm going to have nightmares tonight. Thank you martha :)
Cool sheep ergo
Mj, it looks like a boobie to me ^_^
those faces are cute, martha and ergo. :)
alright everyone ie queit thd =^.^= , (|'.'|) and the ^_^
goodnight
Martha, I'm shocked! Flipping off your family? Why, I never!
Well, not to their faces.
Ergo, Amy said the element blew out. I don't know if there were flames, but they're ok. And to top it off, she ate too many of the french fries she was making, and then had a stomachache. :/
lol SS is a clever bunny, GS's quiz stumped me I stared at it for ages!
and even knowing that I can only figure one
goodnight MJ sweet quiet dreams
wow J mine blew but it just stopped, then I got the NEW STOVE eventually
but the whole thing was shagged.
Hubby broke it up at work and said there were dead mice inside the oven wall in the insulation stuff
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
good night martha.
DEAD MICE?
Aww, NASSY! How long did you have that thing, Ergo?
Always told people SS is clever. Some just never believed. (Not you, Ergo.) Shouldn't underestimate the mind of the Shita. ;)
Goodnight mj
poor l'il mice. they were probably just trying to get to all the good food you were cooking in the oven.
yep.
That sounds like a great explanation, TJ. Yeah, mice in the oven, looking for nummy Ergo-baked treats.
That's what we'll go with.
*heehee*
thanks for believing in me j.! :D
J it came with the house so at least 20 years old?
they were mummified so I think it'd been there a looooong time
you know I had GS's quiz on my wall and had one possible word but couldn't work out any others, and even now I can't!
they weren't IN the oven thank God!!
Well, ladies, it's time for me to shuffle to my chambers. Hope everyone has a good day tomorrow!
Goodnight Ergo, TJ, BC, Nice Anons! See you later tonight!
Goodnight Mayo, here's a book recommendation for you: "30 Days of Night", based on the graphic novels of the same name. There seem to be several in a series. The one I'm reading is called "Rumors of the Undead"; it's about *gasp* vampires. Bet you'd never know from the title, hunh? *coughsarcasmcough* It's not the best vampire story I've read, but it's pretty good. About a 7 on a scale of 10. Perfect time of year to read it, too. ;)
love, faith, hope, burning stoves, stoves as mice hotels
Goodnight J sweet dreams
good night j. sweet dreams. :)
ergo, now i'm imagining a stack of little mice, wrapped in linen strips.
goodnight J sweet dreams
so TJ any new photos?
BC you still feeling ok?
teeeeny little sarcophagus
O_O
maybe that's why the cats looked a bit terrorised some mornings!
The mouse mummies had been out
you can buy them!
I could have made some cash!
SS baby,
Continuing the Halloween theme, and adding the book theme, I think the scariest book I ever read has got to be "'Salem's Lot." Yeah, it's an oldie but a goodie.
When it first was published, I read it then. I was maybe 12 or 13 at that time, and yeah, it scared the fuck out of me. (So did "The Shining", but that's for another time. Maybe.)
I reread it about eight years ago, mainly to see if it still held the old scare-factor. I thought, maybe it made me hinky b/c I'd read it as a girl; let me see how I handle it as a grown woman.
STILL SCARED THE FUCK OUT OF ME.
Maybe even worse, b/c my apt was primarily windows (all across the front side, along with a sliding glass door) and faced the parking lot. I was reeeeeeeeeeally jumpy that Halloween!
Stephen King, author extraordinaire. Scaring millions the world over. ;)
Goodnight, darlin'. I love you.
My heart to yours, always.
hi honey ♥♥
:)
(thinking of you)
Hi ergo and TJ! Hi BC!
I can't stay as I am working on my costume, but its good to see you!
How are you BC? Is your leg still better? Its supposed to rain tomorrow :( which isn't good for injuries, etc.
Goodnight J - sweet dreams!
ergo, I saw your agatha christie quotes! Too cool. :) I love agatha christie for some reason and have read most of her books and seen most of her movies! Do you
like her mysteries, too? BTW, I was just watching Dr.G while sewing and I thought of you, as I think you watch, too, if I remember correctly?
TJ - Have you ever used a ouija board? I am afraid to use one! Which is prob. silly, but I am!
PS - I see there was a lot of anon action again today! I like it here at night cause the mean ones are quiet.
Didn't catch up though!
I'm okay ergo, just a bit of a neckache, so I'm laying down. I think I might be off to bed soon.
Feel better BC! *hugs* :)
Do the honey anons always show up when I am on?
Its like magic :)
*pops back in*
*stares at clicky link in stunned silence*
Oh HELL no.
*wanders back out in a daze*
Hi miranth. My legs are okay, thanks, but there's supposed to be a cold front coming this week.
I hope you're well.
so TJ any new photos?
not really, i'm prepping the ones i took of an abandoned house though.
miranth, i've used a ouija board, but not seriously. it doesn't creep me out much. :)
*turns slowly on stairs*
Hi Miranth--whatever you do, DON'T look at Ergo's clicky link. DO NOT LOOK. It's too...oh my.
*turns back and climbs staircase to room*
Op - J - That's what I said when I saw the mouse mummy!
I am fine BC! Stomach hurts a lot less, now, too.
My car's belly was sick too! :D The fuel injectors were clogged. :(
hello sweet
(missed you)
♥♥
:)
Hi Miranth!
I do like Agatha Christie, I have read most of the books and seen a lot of the movies, she was also in an episode of Dr Who recently
and yes!
I do watch Dr G I find that show fascinating, partly the cases but mostly her methodology and her matter of fact way of dealing with it all, far better than some of those sensationalised crime shows
(though I do like Bones)
Too late!
It looks like it is sleeping, but I am pretty squeamish, too.
Take care and tell L I said HI! Thanks :)
clicky links take me awhile -- but the mummy mouse id doooo cute! >.<
oooh! *hee*
J that's what I thought when I googled it!
but they say they are educational!!
I suppose...in a way.....
definitely the gift for the person who has everything!
it was so cute i slipped into baby talk. "id do"
*eyeroll*
miranth skip this if you're too squeamish
we had a preserved rabbit in a case which was from the back like a cute little white bunny, but was "displayed" from the front, in order to teach anatomy
I thought it was both cute and fascinating but was sure to ask befoer we looked at it, to allow students to opt out if they wished
ergo - Dr G seems to care greatly about putting families minds at ease as best she can. She is a detective too, like Ms. Marple ;)
I just watched her show about preventing early death. I admire her concern for people - and yet she also has a scientific mind. A lot of people are one or the other!
lol TJ I thought you did that on purpose!
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken
TJ - For some reason I find ouija boards creepy, but I don't view death that way. I like cemeteries and historical places like you do. :)
miranth she is that for sure, she will work on a case for years to try and discover a cause, did you see the one where she testified in court for the couple accused of abusing their child, to show that it was accidental, not deliberate?
really went far beyond the call of duty as she felt it was so important.
You are right though, many people in highly skilled medical or scientific fields have very little empathy and "people skills" You often hear people praise nurses over doctors in hospitals (though overwork doesn't make for good people skills either) I
Silly TJ! :)
Thanks for the warning ergo! Mice that look like they are sleeping are pretty creepy, but gruesome things are too much. I try not to think of what Dr G is doing when I see the implements! I just listen, but the sound of the saw makes my skin crawl!!!!!!!!
*shivering*
:)
i missed you.
♥♥
(was i with you today?)
oh yes miranth I quite understand
the only thing that I can't watch is needles, other stuff doesn't bother me much.
hi anons
true and constant
ergo - Yes, I saw the one where she testified for the family, I think. Something where there was a genetic disorder? I can't remember exactly.
She does work hard, even when she seems to disagree with the court system in which she is called to testify, and she always looks out for the family's wishes.
PS - A friend is married to a surgeon - and you would be shocked at how emotionally detached they can be. I'm sure not all are, but she told me stories!
Where are they taking his height 2:17?
;)
(I think that is very pretty, dispite my mocking. Thanks for posting it -for whomever it was meant. It is lovely.)
I think we are in rats' alley
Where the dead men lost their bones
you were
(very much so)
♥♥
:)
italic anon is that from a piece of work?
miranth I know some who are, though others are not, I think it's partly brain wiring and party coping. I suppose they can focus when they need to, but some can't switch it off to appear caring
:)
(as you♥ were with me♥)
Ergo, The other anon is quoting T.S.Elliot. From The Waste Land.
Kapu's buddy? She wanted to see you on the "Porch." Just so you know.. :)
2:38 cease and desist.
Oh thanks anon, I thought it must have been something, I haven't read it though
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom
Oops - I was on the wrong page!
ergo - yes, I agree that part of it is a coping skill. My friend's husband can't turn it off, though :(
Is BC still here?
♥♥
(i can never seem to catch my breath anymore)
:)
it is an ever-fixed mark
2:30 - I believe taking his height refers to the star - and implies measurement - and greatness.
I don't know the beginning of the poem though.
FTR - I like poetry, except when its used as a weapon - or as a means of criticizing others. I find both acts cruel.
What the hell did I do 2:40!?
I wasn't trying to start anything. I just thought if that was in fact the Waste Land anon, that they may not have seen Kapunua's comment to them a few pages back. Why tell me to cease and disist? I did nothing wrong. Merely passed on a message. Geez.
I have only just started reading it Ergo. It is a lovely. And much more complex that I thought a poem could be. I would recomend it (just as soon as I finish reading it).
Anyway, I am out of here. I hope you guys all have a good night.
2:38 I thought you were passing on the message too, but anons jump on anything
have a good night
