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.

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
from the left and right
We did our best to keep them flowing
Late into this night.
If nothing else was accomplished
I hope we made someone see
How truly beautiful and amazing
a poem can be.

4,780 comments:
«Oldest ‹Older 1401 – 1600 of 4780 Newer› Newest»..and continuing harassment isn't solving anything either
the majority does not automatically make any "rule"
and anons may be people too, and there are many who are lovely to speak to, but those who jump on people for the sake of hassling and accusing are creating a very unpleasant blog for everyone.
Words of wisdom.
7:24
Censorship-no; respect-yes.
Respect has been sadly lacking.
Majority rule only works if you're also considering individual rights. You can't have five wolves and one sheep voting on what to have for supper.
7:27. That is what I'm saying. The poems and the games were disrespectful. Mayo was the ONLY one who encouraged it where the majority of people asked them repeatedly to stop with the poety and the games. That makes it all more obvious that the poetry and games were only for Mayo's attention. The more attention he gave them ...... the more they did it.
7:27
That's what it's all about: RESPECT.
And tolerance.
hello ergoproxy, 7:20, and 7:24s.
:)
Hullo, Smiley anon :)
That is my point. Once it was clear that only very few people were enjoying the endless poems and quotes and games, and everyon ELSE, a VAST majority BEGGED them to stop, they didn't stop. That is a lack of respect. I think we are making the same point.
7:27, likewise, you are not respecting their right to express themselves.
hello resurrected wreck and all other anons.
:)
I'm not 7:27 but my point is that they can express themselves where it doesn't outright bother people. No one is making them stop writing poetry. But this is not the place for it when he majority of people here disagree with it.
How many of Mayo's posts have been poems? Funny how that never seemed to bother anyone...
Mayo was the ONLY one who encouraged it where the majority of people asked them repeatedly to stop with the poety and the games.
This is Mayo's blog. You acknowledge he enjoyed the poetry and games. What right do you have to tell another person to modify their behavior, to stop them doing something that the author of this blog clearly enjoyed?
Because they did it so much. There were hundreds of poems in that one night alone. And when others asked them to stop that showed they were being disrespectful to others. It also proved that they were doing it to get Mayo's attention. It destroyed the unity of the blog. Sign in you stupid porchie.
Hey RW, Amy, Ergo, smiley anon, other anons.
I am trying to logically follow your argument 7:33.
How does it differ when someone is constantly talking about the events in their lives here on a daily basis? Is that not "attention seeking" according to your definition?
Maybe some here find it unstimulating, but they tolerate it.
hi anon :)
well I have just chopped 4 kg of tomatoes and it's on to boil
anons this has been done over and over
I think you have made your points, and thanks for remaining civil
but could we leave it now?
what are you up to RW? Amy? Anons?
Sign in you stupid porchie.
When you resort to name calling, you have lost your ability to reason in a level headed manner, and you are thinking emotively.
Hi, BC :)
*SQUEEZE!*
Following the logic you are applying, if I were to say that the constant derogatory remarks directed at the 'porchies' bothers me, then it should stop. (Or perhaps be limited to one derogatory comment a day)
Why do you assume that because I disagree with you, that I am a 'stupid Porchie'? I can assure you I am not.
To answer 7:38. Because those people are talking to each other and just chatting with each other, instead of writing aimless poetry.
Amy knows what is right for the blog. She told people to take their Gerard bashing to Verita Venom's. She told them to stop posting poetry and to let other people have some of Mayo's attention. She knows how this blog should be run.
Mayo enjoyed the games and the poetry. Why would you want to take that away from him?
hi BC
But Mayo was in the minority.
Hi RW *SQUEEZES back* how was your day?
Amy knows what is right for the blog. She told people to take their Gerard bashing to Verita Venom's. She told them to stop posting poetry and to let other people have some of Mayo's attention. She knows how this blog should be run.
You aren't doing Amy any favors. This is not Amy's blog. This is Mayo's blog.
I don't think he enjoyed it when it got out of hand and the other lovelies started to get upset.
And again Amy wasn't trying to RUN the blog. She was merely giving suggestions. She said what she thought those peoples motives were for doing what they did, and that they shoudl stop it. She gave her OPINION that Kapunua was pretty much asking to lose her job. She gave her OPINION and SUGGESTIONS. That is different from lording it over and trying to decide how the blog was run.
Or filling it up with poetry and meaningless tv quotes.
7:42 mature adults work with each other in solving problems.
Again you bring up Mayo, which appears what could be the source of the problem. Getting his attention, that is.
YOu shouldn' speak for Mayo.
But Mayo was in the minority.
Imagine a prison with 1000 inmates and 20 prison wardens. Every inmate says they should be released, the prison wardens disagree, but they are in the minority.
But this is not a prison and Mayo is not a warden. It is a community were the poetry and quote and games groups were dissing the rest of us.
Mayo said this blog belongs to everyone. If that's the case then we should be the ones to decide how to run it. The majority agree with Amy. Majority rules.
Then to follow your argument 7:41, it could be argued it is precisely the same thing. Always talking about themselves to obtain "attention".
How about the fact the people involved have said numerous times that they made the decision to leave Mayo's and do not appreciate the fact that they are still repeatedly discussed in their absence and would like it to stop?
How about you respect their wishes?
But they were talking to EACH OTHER. All Amyranth said to the othe rpeople was that they should give the stage to them once in a while.
They never respected our wishes so why should we respect theirs?
If you want to talk shit about Kapunua there is a blog for that too. Dickweed's blog. Kapu isn't here so stop bringing her up and take it over there. THis is clutter.
I'm good, BC :) Gonna head over to the mall now to get a curtain rod. Doing a bit more decorating this weekend.
How are you today?
She told them to stop posting poetry and to let other people have some of Mayo's attention
If Mayo wanted to give other people attention, he would have done so, regardless of whether Kapunua and her friends were around. If you believe that their very presence stopped Mayo from paying attention to other people then you are are giving too much credit to them, and not enough to Mayo.
Then to follow your argument 7:41, it could be argued it is precisely the same thing. Always talking about themselves to obtain "attention".
And you also talk about them constantly, giving them even more attention.
They never respected our wishes so why should we respect theirs?
You just lost the debate.
7:51, but they didn't leave any space for others to talk, too. That's just not fair and you know it. You can't scroll past it when it takes up over 70% of the blog, you just can't.
Some of you feel excluded and invisible.
That's the real problem. Not the poetry, (which was months ago) Not Kapunua, Not Mayo.
Your own feelings of self worth.
Well, I'm heading out again for a bit.
Have fun, all :)
But they were talking to EACH OTHER.
No?! Really? Outrageous!
All Amyranth said to the othe rpeople was that they should give the stage to them once in a while.
The whole blog is a stage, the 'opposing' sides very rarely inhabit this space at the same.
What about all the quotes from films and tv shows that the rest of us didn't get? That was not months ago.
7:53 it is clear you harbor a deep resentment towards these people and your argument may emanate from this feeling.
7:50
if that is how you feel-
two wrongs don't make a right.
How about you try?, maybe you'll starts a precedent.
Plus seeing as this wasn't the current topic of discussion prior to it being brought up again, it is not very respectful of anyone else at this blog at the moment either
Anons, stop speaking for Mayo. You are not Mayo so don't tell others what he liked and didn't like. Only Mayo can say that.
That's good RW. I took a warm bath to help ease my arthritis, but right now it's uncomfortably hot outside. Today we hit about 77 degrees, so I'm sweating :/
Which boils down again to feelings of exclusion 7:57.
Ergoproxy. YOU were one of the ones asking them to stop posting so much poetry.
bye RW!
I'll put the ketchup recipe at my kitchen , if you ever want to try it, you can decrease the quantities (it's a recipe for 2kg, makes about 1.25L)
You can't scroll past it when it takes up over 70% of the blog, you just can't.
70%? Do you still feel the majority should rule?
anon - once
when it interrupted another conversation, months ago
and I haven't had issue with it since
you see I am able to deal with one incident and move on
Enjoy your shopping RW :)
Not all of us can run out and see every movie that's playing in the local cinema. We don't care what Kirk Lazurus said in Tropic Thunder.
But lyrics and hearts and pictures and many other things interrupt your conversations now, why is it any different?
Smoke said...
Okay, I've got something to say to you and I'm saying it here because basically, Mayo's is not the place for it. It's not my blog and it's not your blog. It doesn't belong to any of us. It's his.
I didn't agree with your 'fix'. I still don't. Explain to me the difference between me quoting American Psycho and you talking about a sack of potatos. Explain to me the difference between me posting song lyrics and you writing a goodnight story to Mayo. Explain to me the difference between me talking about what I did at work today and you talking about what you did at work today.
Can you explain that for me?
You can't because there is no difference. And if you think there is then that's just a tad hypocritical, don't you think?
If you have any respect at all for Mayo's blog then you know that it's not for any one person or group to try and control. Only he has the right to do that.
That's just my $.02 for what it's worth.
Some of us are struggling to make our mortgage payment and don't have money to waste on films and DVDs.
Oh no, someone disagrees with Amyranth the Queen. Off with their heads!
Anons, stop speaking for Mayo. You are not Mayo so don't tell others what he liked and didn't like. Only Mayo can say that.
Clearly Mayo did like the poetry, or he wouldn't have put it on his front page. SS clearly also likes the quotes and poetry as you can see from his recent post. SS also used to play along with the games.
Stop trying to win the argument by making people think you are Mayo or SS.
Mayo himself said the blog belongs to everyone.
So Amyranth had every right to post what she did.
But nobody else liked it and this place is supposed to be a COMMUNITY.
Mayo himself said the blog belongs to everyone.
So Amyranth had every right to post what she did.
As did the 'porchies'
Stop trying to win the argument by making people think you are Mayo or SS.
How would that win an argument?
... let other people have some of Mayo's attention.
Why on earth would people want to fight for Mayo's attention?
Good Night Mayo.
* appreciates the irony in that statement *
TTFN
But all Amyranth did was suggest a way to make things better, which was for them to let others have the stage sometimes and stop monopolizing things. The poetry and movie quotes were endless and they bothered a LOT of people.
8:07 Amyranth has that right.
So has everyone else.
However it is clear what is lacking is tolerance for peoples differences in taste and conversation.
That is being labeled as "attention seeking".
I never saw Amyranth post something over and over again to deliberately piss people off.
This is the thing. Amyranth is here for family, the 'porchies' are here for Mayo only.
The "attention seeking" was what they were doing with their constant posts about what they did all day, the poems, the movie quotes etc. That was all for Mayo's benefit.
Stop trying to win the argument by making people think you are Mayo or SS.
*laughs* Winning an "argument" is a loss.
It is about trying to see things from each other's perspective.
How do you know it was for Mayo's benefit? I liked the movie quotes. They were fun.
That is being labeled as "attention seeking".
It's labbeled as attention seeking because that's what it is. these people are here for Mayo only, they dont care about anyone else but Mayo and themselves. They will post their "witty" poetry again and again just to make sure Mayo sees it and responds to it. That is attention seeking. That's what they do.
It is about trying to see things from each other's perspective.
Well you are not trying to see things from anyones perspective but you own. Youre trying to warp everyones mind into thinking they are wrong. maybe you should be more open.
I liked the K-Wreck comments and the time people were coming up with song names for the next MCR record. Those things were fun.
This hit it's head when Dickweed did the right thing. He told Kapu that talking about her friend's suicide attempt was Kapu's own call for attention. He did the right thing. It's about time someone said it.
I never saw Amyranth post something over and over again to deliberately piss people off.
ORLY? You think she just has anons that adore her and her 'fix'?
You mean the night she had the grace to talk to the sisters before that happened, and everyone else just went on talking about their own lives? Yeh I remember that.
To all Anons.
But why does anyone want his attention? I don't understand that.
Ask Amyranth that question, GS.
8:15 again you assume things, like so many other assumptions you have made.
It is not about right and wrong. You are trying to paint it this way.
Amy thinks she is talking to GW, not GV.
Ask the porchies GS. they were the ones who took up most of the space on the blog with the poetry, the games the quotes. Ask them.
Exactly Gnothi.
"ORLY? You think she just has anons that adore her and her 'fix'?"
Regardless of what you may think, I do not believe that was her posting over and over. I don't think you realize how many others agree with what she wrote. But there is no point in explaining it to you because you will only believe what you want to believe. Maybe in a few years you will understand.
Ask the porchies. Afterall there the ones who swoon over Mayo.
A lot of people are jealous of Amyranth.
You want to fix things at Mayonaise's? Why not give the stage to someone else once in awhile?
I think this quote speaks for itself with regards to who wants Mayo's attention.
Kapu already said she had a crush on him and then she kissed him. Talk about wanting attention....
little late
but
*TOASTS PP!*
Maybe in a few years you will understand
And you understand everything...of course.
Ask Amyranth that question, GS.
That's unfair. If you are going to apply that theory to one you must apply it to all, myself included.
Ask the porchies GS. they were the ones who took up most of the space on the blog with the poetry, the games the quotes. Ask them.
I saw all that as conversation.
My Ford Fairlane
and HI GS!
I'm sterilising bottles and watching motor racing, how are you?
Thank you Gnothi, the point I was trying to get across.
People here address Mayo directly. They write goodnights and good mornings to him. They write stories and poems for him. And you ask who wants Mayo's attention?
You were joking, right?
You saw THAT as conversation? Really? Funny how you never see them do that over at DM where Mayo can't see them anymore. Point proven.
8:32
Sorry, you are wrong. They are posting the same things to each other.
Funny how you never see them do that over at DM where Mayo can't see them anymore.
What makes you think he can't see them?
And you ask who wants Mayo's attention?
I said why do they want Mayo's attention. Not who.
As for myself I always acknowledge Mayo as I was brought up to greet my host.
Hi Ergo ^_^ I was on my way to bed but I got distracted by the debate.
8.34
Do you see them at DM writing 300 posts in one day of just poetry and character quotes?
I see a bunch of people who get along with each other over there, even if they seem a little dis spirited about the whole thing.
I said why do they want Mayo's attention.
Beats the hell out of me. I think because a lot of them really do think he's GW.
You saw THAT as conversation?
Yes.
Ok but my point has been proven.
8:37 (second) I agree.
8:37 (first) you are exaggerating and assuming all the posts came from them
Ok but my point has been proven.
Proven in your own head, nowhere else.
Everyone is here for their own reasons. Even you.
Everyone is here for their own reasons. Even you.
Yes, yes and ... yes.
Tolerance is the key.
Beats the hell out of me. I think because a lot of them really do think he's GW.
Interesting. So then that leads to the question ... if Mayo is GW, what does he make of it all.
Then we trudge through the quagmire that is the never ending saga of ' attention seeking, needy, game playing, socially inept Gerard '.
And that's a discussion I really can't be bothered to hash over again.
Everyone is here for their own reasons. Even you.
Oh yes, definitely, that I readily admit.
Oy vay >_<
Oh! Hullo, GS :)
Gnothi if he was, I don't think he would be anywhere near as interesting as the people here.
Sorry, there should be a full stop in that last sentence.
Hiya RW ^_^
Ergo - are you still here?
Oy vay...too right!
I don't think he would be anywhere near as interesting as the people here.
You obviously don't live my life ^_^
Oooww...
Hot glue + wig = bad

You're up very late, GS!
By the way, doens't look like I'll be going to England next year. I'm looking at 2010 now.
To the disenchanted anon...what you need to ask yourself is " Why are YOU here?"
You don't like poetry.
You don't like the way people vie for Mayos attention.
What, are you trying to mold this into what you want it to be?
The owner of this blog is happy with all of the different people and their thoughts and opinions that participate here. Who are you to rock this boat?
Start your own blog and delete all of the comments that you don't care to see...that is if anyone will leave any comments for you.
my question to you is..."Why so serious?"
Hot glue + wig = bad
OUCH!
Hi again RW *squeeze*
Hi GS.
Amy - the wig wasn't on your head when it was applied was it? Hello by the way ^_^
RW - why? Raspberries to that missus.
Hiya BC ^_^
RW, in spades. I have a tidy little blister on my finger, and one styrofoam ball is 1/4 wrapped with hair.
So, I need to find new glue. Something slightly runny, so the wig fibre sort of coats itself, instead of using GOOP (which melts styrofoam) or hot glue (which burns like OW!).
Styrofoam glue it is, I suppose... Good thing I work at a craft store.
-A
*giggles at Gnothi*
God no, that would be.. an interesting kind of special if I did that. :P
-A
Well, GS, seeing the economy the way it is right now made me think that it would perhaps be a good idea to put down money on my credit card for a bit before I use for anything like a trip/courses.
Anyway, 2010 isn't really that far away :)
BC, what's this about you having arthritis??
Okay, I may live to regret this, but here goes:
A, why are you gluing hair to styrofoam balls?
God no, that would be.. an interesting kind of special if I did that. :P
And yet, it still happens all over the world. People make me larff ^_^
What exactly is the difference between what is going on now, with people talking, and what the "porchies" used to always do? Someone answer that honestly. If this is not for attention also, why not all meet up at another blog? I don't see the difference. Can someone explain?
*grins at RW*
Sailor Moon's buns. Hair buns. It puts less stress on the wig cap when you use a short wig and attach styrofoam balls wrapped with hair. Then you add extensions and voila! A wig that is wearable, but not so top heavy it slips off, or gives you a migraine.
-A
RW I was going to ask the same!
Amy ????
I am still here , flitting between kitchen and tv I am just pureeing the tomatoes
Anyway, 2010 isn't really that far away :)
I am allowed to have a sulky tantrum though?
they are not monopolizing the conversation that is the difference. no jokes noone else understands or movie quotes noone gets
Does anyone else have an answer? A real answer.
to BOTH questions.
I am allowed to have a sulky tantrum though?
Of course! Can I join you? I was looking forward to a meet-up next year, but alas, life intervened :/
Nothing 9:11. There is no difference. There is misunderstanding and a clash of taste.
And too much labeling.
Sailor Moon's buns. Hair buns.
Of course! That makes total sense :)
my answers wasnt a real answer because you didnt agree with it? fine, it shows how mature you really are. i wouldnt be surprised if you are a porchie anyway.
Someone answer that honestly. If this is not for attention also, why not all meet up at another blog? I don't see the difference. Can someone explain?
I suppose because this is where it all started and on the occasions that we did go elsewhere we all naturally gravitated back here. It's kind of a base I guess.
Amyranth, could you answer the question?
GS, but when a certain group of people goes back to the "base" then they are only doing it to get "center stage"? How does that work?
Sign in Porchie.
Hello
Ep it was a frozen fruit mix that contain honeydew, cantaloupe, pineapple and blackberries. I know that I have seen melon smoothies before so I figured I could make that into a smoothie. I think next time I will use plain yogurt. It will be sour and take some of the sweetness away.
If reading that group of people on that blog and wondering where the fairness is on this one makes me a porchie then I guess I am.
RW, yes, unfortunately I have arthritis. I've been having it for a long time now. I mostly get it when my legs or bones get cold from the weather.
Last night I had the heater turned on to help sooth the pain, but my knucklehead brother shut it off, so right now I have a case of arthritis, and it's uncomfortable because I have long tube socks on and long pants and it's hot so I feel a bit uncomfortable :/
This place scares me. It's starting to read like a George Orwell novel.
Godhet meg O_o
That sucks, BC :(
anon, speaking for myself, they can return whenever they wish
Hi, MJ :)
*didn't even have her hand raised*
You know, I thought I had said my piece. It's been splattered all over this blog for long enough that I had to ask a couple of times, really nicely to have it stop being posted again.
But, I guess I'll follow up my two cents.

People feel ignored. 110%. Not just me. Not just anyone. Everyone. Lots of other people. I have watched other blues (and I will not name names, that's up to them) come in, with no animosity towards anyone, and get ignored. I've seen blues yell at people who weren't signed in just because Anon was the title. We've had people who have lurked here for months finally decide to speak up and say something, not necessarily negative, mind you. And they've been snapped at. Told that they were idiots.
I know of a very cool person here who had that happen to them. Now? They don't sign in. They don't want the confrontation.
Why should anyone be made to feel that way?
-A
No 'Hello' back. No "How's it going?/How was your day?".
I mentioned in my post that there hasn't been a welcoming feeling here for awhile. Half the time I'd come here and lurk for awhile, until people came on that I felt comfortable talking with.
Amy - see RW's quote. P.S - Who's Sailor Moon?
RW - by all means join me.
Ergo - give me two more weeks and I will be in the throes of mince pie making for Christmas!!
GS, but when a certain group of people goes back to the "base" then they are only doing it to get "center stage"? How does that work?
I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure what you mean?
Anyone? The difference?
BC, I had no idea about the arthritis! How long have you had it?
Have you considered moving to a warmer climate?
-A
Hi again MJ
perhaps try a natural or greek yoghurt and leave out the sorbet
I'd make it with only basic ingredients, give it a blitz and taste it, adding a little of anything else until it's how you like it
BC have you tried a heat rub, or taking glucosamine tablets?
"People feel ignored. 110%. Not just me. Not just anyone. Everyone"
You're speaking for EVERYONE now?
"I've seen blues yell at people who weren't signed in just because Anon was the title. "
You've never done that?
You also didn't really answer the question. You brought up the games and movie quotes. You brought "center stage". Why do you feel like you don't have "center stage" when you are talking about your day to day activities?
And aren't there people you don't acknowledge?
Hey amy and mj
" Constant self-centered posts, be they about what you're doing every exact second of every day, "
I've seen you do that too. A lot. Again what is the difference? Why did you single out one small group?
Half the time I'd come here and lurk for awhile, until people came on that I felt comfortable talking with.
---
So in other words you didn't talk to certain people? Isn't that what you accused others of doing?
Why should anyone be made to feel that way?
Try taking your own advice.
taking glucosamine tablets?
That or cod liver oil. Sorry to hear that BC, I know people who are really laid up with it :(
Mmmmm mincemeat pies!
Gnothi, this is Eternal Sailor Moon, my Hallowe'en costume.
-A
Hi MJ. Sorry, I missed you in all the flurry.
9:29 you obviously do not care about what's right or wrong. for some reason you want to put down Amyranth and not even listen to what she has to say and you want to make the "porchies" sound like angels and like they are always right.
Many of you are jealous of Amyranth.

I'm speaking for the people who have told me in confidence how they feel. Not my job to tell you whom though.
"I've seen blues yell at people who weren't signed in just because Anon was the title. "
You've never done that?
When they've been harassing my friends, yes I have. I won't deny that.
So in other words you didn't talk to certain people? Isn't that what you accused others of doing?
Actually, that's "twisted words" thanks. It's not like I signed in as Amyranth, and made a big fuss over the fact that nobody I wanted to speak to was online.
Anything else?
-A
Hallo MJ! I missed you earlier as well.
What did you pick up at the store?
-A
I actually don't remember Amy. I only know that I had it for a long while now. What usually works for me when I get it is rubbing alcohol, it works wonders.
I'm trying my best to take care of my leg, and I have a small brace to help protect it from the cold.
Ergo, I think I have a heating pad, only problem is, I'm not sure where to find it :/
I have never considered moving into a warmer climate. Well, maybe Nevada but that's about it.
Hello EP, BC, Amy, RW,GS and anons. Don't worry about missing me Gs. It happens.
ep I might just give up for a bit on the melon.
you want to make the "porchies" sound like angels and like they are always right.
Firstly, I am not 9:29.
Secondly you are labeling people and appear to have a rigid way of thinking.
Thirdly 9:29 has a point.
I didn't twist your words, I quoted you directly. You not only said "everyone" but 110% of the people here.
If you were uncomfortable talking to a certain group of people, why did it bother you if they just talked to each other? If they made you uncomfortable as you said, then why does it matter to you who they say hi to?
Amy - very nice. You're not going to stretch your legs to that bizarre length are you?
Many of you are jealous of Amyranth.
That is such a convenient statement to make when you have nothing of any benefit to make.
If you were uncomfortable talking to a certain group of people, why did it bother you if they just talked to each other? If they made you uncomfortable as you said, then why does it matter to you who they say hi to?
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

you've got to be fucking kidding.
EXCELLENT point. Perhaps the ones not saying hi were made to feel uncomfortable too.
I don't think anyone is scoring any points with the teenie 'ur jus jelluzzz!!!11!' argument.
Save that shit for buzznet.
Thanks GS. I kinda feel bad that I don't have any of the items you guys suggested :(
Usually my arthritis doesn't get too bad. My leg is somewhat getting better, but I'll keep it under care as much as I can.
BC, I think you need to move somewhere REALLY warm.
Like... Fiji. It's for health reasons, you know.
MJ, how's that blueberry sorbet? I've never had anything other than orange and mango.
-A
9:29 and 9:26
Amyranth and others have answered your question. You don't like their answers so you are refusing to accept them as answers. They have told you they answered your questions. They have told you how they felt. Yes, feelings. Their feelings. I think it's time for you to move on.
We could try one more question if you would like. Would that satisfy your thirst for your logic?
Was that your final answer, your final explanation Amyranth?
If the answer to that question is yes, you really need to move on 9:26 and 9:29. Unless you enjoy badgering Amyranth.
I certainly don't enjoy watching you do it.
Amy I haven't tried it yet. right before I use it for smoothies I take a little tastes.
Bc have you been to the doctor for your arthritis ?
I like badgers.
No, no more questions. Amyranth, you are allowed to treat people the way you complain about others being treated. You are allowed to say things you don't let anyone else say. You are allowed to post the things you do all day and no one else is. The blog is yours. I will observe elsewhere. *bows*
9:49
I don't like badgers without fur. Bald badgers aren't pretty.
^_~
9:46
It is what I had been trying to say all along. About feelings, of being hurt and not being validated.
Some think more logically not emotively, so sometimes it is not badgering.

If you want to talk shit about Kapunua there is a blog for that too. Dickweed's blog. Kapu isn't here so stop bringing her up and take it over there. THis is clutter.

*BIG NEON FUCKING SIGN*
Excuse me but this demands a reply. MY blog does not talk shit about her. Get your damn facts straight.
Of course, I have no way to take this up with you directly.
Anyone with a damn heart will see Amyranth's side of it. It doesn't have to make sense. It is what she feels and she has to treat people how she feels is right. To HER.
Gnothi, no. But I am having surgery to have my eyes widened!
Just kidding.

BC - keeping warm seems to be the best cure for the time being.
Right, it is nearly 3 and I need my bed.
Amy - good luck with the wig.
Ergo - speak to you soon.
MJ - take care.
RW - have you gone? I'll still owe you an e-mail. See you soon.
Anons - I don't think I'll ever understand this.
George Orwell Anon - indeed.
Good night All.
Good night Mayo.
TTFN
hello Dickweed
"What bothers me is when the posts are nothing but blather. Posting as TV characters, posting poetry constantly, especially when it's randomly inserted into a conversation, posting song lyrics when nobody's discussing songs. Stuff like that.
That's where I think there is a lack of respect. I've lurked many times on the blog, with nothing of worth to say. So I don't say anything. Is that impossible for everyone to do? I don't think so. Do you?"
Let AMYRANTH decide what is "of worth" to say. It's what she feels.
Hallo DW!
MJ, let me know if it's any good. I gotta stop eating gobs of ice cream every day.
-A
Goodnight GS
Amyranth has asked people to stop copying her blog and posting it here. She has explained her position, her feelings. She does not keep bringing it up. Others do.
When you go on for two weeks about it, when someone keeps being questioned about something they wrote on their personal blog, I think that is entering badger territory.
It is time to move on.
That is my $0.02.
