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.

Unfair. I have a damn heart. I acknowledge people's feelings. I believe in kindness and tolerance and no exclusions. But sometimes the premise of a certain feeling comes from a misunderstanding.
If we were all the behave with what we feel at the time the law of the jungle would exist.
Hello Martha :)
Amyranth, this is why I don't play here.
Mj, nope, but usually my arthritis doesn't get too bad. And I'm one of the many people who don't have health insurance I'm afraid.
There is no misunderstanding. Amyranth has been totally straight forward. She wants the nonsense and useless posts to stop. I agree with her. It takes up too much space and itnerrupts the flow. Just admit that she is right.

You cannot sweep things under the carpet. They have a habit of exploding in your face later.

Hi DW

I can read your sarcasm.
What about the heart anons and the poetry anons that everyone thinks are so sweet? They interrupt the conversation too and they don't talk to anyone but each other?
Have a good night, GS :)
It doesn't have to make sense.
FAIL
Hey dickweed. Thanks GS, goodnight and sweet dreams.
Hi, DW :)
I was not being sarcastic. :( I think Amyranth is right. She is being honest and speaking straight from the heart.
DW, I understand.
BC, is it hard to get health insurance in the States? You should come to Canada, live in British Columbia, it's very pretty there.

does this mean we get a new post tonight?

Does what mean?
She may speak from her heart, but her feelings are hers as others have theirs.
Sometimes feelings don't have to make sense, anon. To one group of people it could be just having fun. To Amyranth and many others it is hurtful and a waste of space. She is speaking from her feelings.
I think that is entering badger territory.

And she should not be made to feel responsible for the direction of the blog.
No one should.

Amy I will let you know as soon as I try it.
BC is their a clinic a your school are in your town. When I didn't have health insurance there was a free clinic I went to.
What kinds of smoothies do you guys like? That melon one I made didn't turn out to good. I want to see what other flavors I could try.

Guys, I've been thinking about Mayo's today and how I feel about it, and the people there. I'm not sure what I really feel like doing, but honestly, less and less do I like to even read there anymore.
A handful of the people I like visit over here and email and stuff like that. I miss chatting with SS and Mayo so I might just lurk now and again and see if they're on, only because they don't do much visiting.
Other than that, the whole place is so toxic and ridiculous that it's hard for me to read it anymore. What drives me batty is the lack of logic and the hypocrisy. Certain people can say whatever they want. They can point fingers, call names, say awful things, say accusatory things, blame others for "ruining" stuff, etc. People I haven't spoken to or about for months, right? Yet if any of us so much as goes, "Tch!" then it's all over and we're evil and wrong and disgusting. People have said some ridiculously nasty and accusatory things to me. But if I call them on that, wow, entire other blogs get created about it.
Double standards and hypocrisy, as you all know, drive me crazy. Like I said, it's the lack of logic and the one-sidedness that makes me headdesk.
And when stuff is starting to make me headdesk and it doesn't stop, and when it's just toxic people and stuff--you know I can't do that fake nice thing--then I should really just look the other way and not let those people become my problem.
I need to focus on national and global issues and I need to get myself into school and look after the stuff in my life. If I sit there and start to think about how ridiculous it is that some people are getting cheered on for being absolutely nasty to me and to my friends; if I read all the back-patting and high-fiving over the community of bullying because we somehow "deserve" it when not a single one of us has ever said anything as vile as some of the stuff that gets said to us, it just distracts me.
I used to care a lot about that forum, but what I cared about is gone. Now they're making it into something that seems as important to them as this presidential election. It's stupid and it's so petty and I've let that lack of logic get to me. I can't be doing that.
So I think I will just pop in there when non-visiting people are on once in a while, if that's possible.
Not that it's a huge difference from what we've all been doing in the last week or so, but I was thinking about this today and, well, there it is. I can't let fake, poisonous people infect me any longer. You know?

I feel the exact same way, Jules. I miss Mayo and I miss SS like crazy. I really do. I miss what it was. And the truth is, it will never be what it once was.

Lack of logic.
There should be a blog created specifically for that. ^_~
12:40 PM, October 11, 2008
sdock10 said...
Jules,
I totally understand where you are coming from.
Lack of logic and hyporcisy pretty much sum it up for me too. And when I felt myself losing perspective along with all the nastiness, I just had to take a step back from it all.
Every day reading about how horrible we are and how we ruined everything for everybody started to mess with my head, ya know? And my head is fucked up enough as it is.
Anons have asked over and over why I haven't acknowledged Amy's Fix and it's simply that I don't think Mayo's is my place to Fix. Amy is entitled to her opinions, but opinions are like you know whats and we all have one of those. Doesn't make her ideas any better or worse than mine, yours, or the next persons.
Does that make me part of the problem and not the solution? I don't really know. I can only choose to remove myself from the situation. Take myself out of the equation and maybe everything else will balance itself out.
That being said, I'm not disappearing. I will talk to Mayo, SS, or anyone else when I feel I have something I want to say. And that could be at any time and at any place.
Who knew that poetry and idle chit chat was so damned evil and could pretty much destroy the universe....

So, anyway I think my goddaughter is gonna stay for dinner and then I'm not sure if I can make the trip back up the Island to drive her home. Might leave that to Mummy K. I feel a hell of a lot better but two nights ago i tried pizza and I lost it a few hours later in the most unpleasant way. O_o Last night was pretty good but I don't know how tonight will be.
I'm tired of being sick!
Ah well. So I will spend the rest of the afternoon probably playing FFVII with Jo-chan. :D
I'll catch up with you guys later. ♥

It depends on who is posting it, Solly. Opinions, chit-chat, poetry, games, "you ruined this," "you are an attention whore," "you messed that up," "you were the one who did such and such," "I know that anon was you," "I'm going to name names," some people can do that. Just not us.
Which is cool, because I don't want to do most of that.
Well, except the chit-chat, games, quotes and poetry. That was fun. :D And, it can just be fun over here. ^_^
Okay! Really going now. Later!

Bwahahahaha, Fim. You rule my entire universe, did you know? You're the sun to my moons.
O_o
And in my world, Pluto still exists, so it's whatever.
As for the topic that has been discussed, I'd like to say that I agree.
There comes a time when things just have to end. And just because I chose to end it doesn't mean that I go one day without being thankful for having met any of you guys, for having received a great deal of, I dunno what you'd call it, reassurance and understanding, I guess?, and for having a medium like that.
I don't know, it was really special to me. I had never had any way to express myself or bounce ideas and opinions off of and have them matter, you know? And it was great to finally have that, to have Mayo allow it to continue, to have this little safe haven where constructive criticism and friendship were hanging in every corner.
So, as much as I miss Mayo and SS and Mayonaise, I think, or I'd like to think that they'd be okay with the decisions a lot of us have made. There's so much shit, just complete and utter shit going on outside of my little world, and chucking under-the-table, as well as in-clear-view negativity at one another is just not making my list of top priorities.
Dude, it's just not important.
I guess it's just weird not really finding a way to be vocal about Mayo's posts or SS's views without some sort of hesitation. And when you have to hesitate before you say what you'd like to say, we're so far away from the reason we were all so proud to be a part of this in the first place.
"Things aren't the same anymore..."
Anyway, I still enjoy dissecting the hell out of his posts and finding humor and love and hate and regret and happiness and all of it. I don't think I'll ever stop walking away from there without understanding. So, that's something I'll always be thankful for.
Well, I guess with that said, I hope you all are having a fantastic Saturday!
Jules, it's good to see you're on the mend. :)
Sdock, I hope you're having a great after-birthday hangover!

I know exactly what you are talking about guys, but the only thing i can think of is to be yourselves like you have been all along.
I mean, if they want to do all these things and try to be the better person in doing their actions, then honestly it is not worth your attention so you carry on doing what you want to do because it is not physically harming anybody.
All we are doing is being friends and chatting and having fun, but to some, we are being annoyance to some people who clearly have a disliking to some or all of us, but this is the world and not everyone is going to like every tom, dick or harry so basically we just have to roll along with it.
Each to their own, you do what you see fit, you know my opinions and feelings so

People might have said you ruined the blog with your poems and your games , but honestly i think they need to look in the mirror. I think they ruined it by driving all the fun and humor out of mayos. It was ruined when people thought that there where rules that needed to be followed. I don't blame you for not wanting to go back , but you should have never been made to feel uncomfortable about being over there to begin with. I agree that it is better to be around positive people.

To Amyranth and many others it is hurtful and a waste of space. She is speaking from her feelings.
So her feelings are more important then others?
And she should not be made to feel responsible for the direction of the blog.
No one should.
She took that upon herself when she decided to post her "fix".
To one group of people it could be just having fun. To Amyranth and many others it is hurtful and a waste of space. She is speaking from her feelings.
With the horrific things that happen every day in the world, the fact that you find poems and games hurtful speaks volumes about your character.
The fact that some of you take this place so seriously speaks volumes about your character.
I am not the ONLY one who is bothered by the random poetry, the rude interruptions and other things that ruined this blog. It's not JUST a few anons and Amyranth. It is a bunch of us.
If something makes you happy and you look forward to it, you are going to take it seriously.
You don't need to post their words in this space.
Exactly how many is in "a bunch"?
Martha, I'm partial to chocolate-strawberry-banana myself. But I don't make smoothies either.

Some of you feel excluded and invisible.
That's the real problem. Not the poetry, (which was months ago) Not Kapunua, Not Mayo.

Yes. Love is illogical. It should be stopped. Right now.
It is a bunch of us.
And a bunch of people disagree with you.

I will ask one more time just to make you feel special.
Why?
Leave me alone unless you care to help me type up some emails.
I wasn't talking about love.
Jamba Juice makes this really good chocolate smoothie. I have tried to make it but it never comes out right.

I agree. Some are just stubborn. Only see things their way.
Dickweed will you send me one of the emails. I was going to ask you on your blog but you are here so it is easier.
My email is on my profile.
Amy, this is how it goes: Over 44 million of us can't afford health insurance. That's how bad it is overhere.
It's hard enough that there's so many beautiful places to go visit in the world, although I wouldn't mind visiting Canada.
MJ, luckily there is a clinic I go to whenever I can.
Waht 4 kg of tomatoes becomes
MJ, i used to get this really good smoothie at a place here called Booster Juice. It was called the Mega Mocha or something.
They took it off the menu because it had zero nutritional value, and they were more of a health food place.
-A
waht = what
Banana and honey. You know I have been drink a lot of smoothies with banana in them lately. But I don't like bananas.
Mixed berry I do that one all the time.
Mmmm, ketchup! ^_^
How long does it keep, EP?
Fuck BC. That's not fair. Sometimes, I just wonder.
Ergo, you went through all that for 3 bottles of ketchup? How does it taste?
-A
hello, blog-people.
i have my coffee and i'm ready to sit here and be inane for the evening.
martha, have you ever tried a green tea smoothie at jamba juice? it's very good!
amyranth, just reading your comments about making meatball head's wig (*heehee*) makes me want to see your costume even more! i haven't dressed up beyond throwing on garb for too many years.
*waves at others*
The discord here was never about the poetry, it was about the misunderstandings that were never addressed and level of disconnection and resentments that grew. All of you have to work together to get along.
Mayo is a blogger. Try not to elevate him to some high standard.
I'm assuming he appreciates your company as well as you all appreciates this room.
October 11, 2008 7:14 PM
I'm saying we should get a post tonight. Dickweed knows why.
Hi, TJ! :)
I see the problem here as this once was a place friends came to support one another, share about their days, laugh, joke and unwind. It isnt that anymore. I dont see how it can go back to that with the number of people who done sign in (me included). People dont sign in for fear of being slandered by others. It is one big bully party, plain and simple. It doesnt help to stick up for someone else because the people doing the slamming can twist words to serve their own purpose and make every one miserable in the process. I dont think it's poetry or lyrics. I think its the mood of the blog. It's a place where some people come to take out their frustration at the expense of others. There are a bunch of mean people in the world and too bad several of them came here. Anyone heard the saying, "if you dont have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all"?
amyranth can i ask something
dick=cock
weed=flower
I bet he says something about a flower.
Leave DW out of this.
DW, can you please amend you name. It's just...it's ridiculous and doesn't suit you. You seem quite affable. But I don't necessarily agree with everything you say.
Jamba Juice has the chocolate one under mood mender. It is good for you but it isn't on the menu anymore but if you ask them they will still make it. It is funny they took the chocolate one off the menu but left the peanut butter one.
hi resurrected wreck! i looked at those photos with your costumes yesterday, and seeing the performance pics, and knowing that someone i know worked on them actually gave me a bit of a rush. impressive! :)
ergo...you made ketchup.
real ketchup.
again, blog sibs have me impressed.
Hallo Teej!
Can I have a cup of your coffee? I have some Bailey's to make it a fair trade if you'd like!
The wig is the hard part. Especially when you burn yourself with hot glue. :P
-A
Thank you, TJ :)
*blushes*
Sure 10:25, what's up?
-A
sounds like a deal, amyranth. *heh*
*slides coffee pot over to amyranth*
i've never used hot glue guns for that very reason. i would just take the lazy way out and figure out a way to stitch the damn thing together. :)
Hello Tj. No I haven't. I usually go for a mango one or the chocolate one. work has been hell the last few time it has been chocolate.
RW, you did do a really good job, I don't know if I mentioned that to you yesterday.
Teej, don't get your hopes up about my costume. See what RW does? Yeah, I'm not even close. XD
-A
the people harassing you a couple of minutes ago. if i could prove to you amyranth that they were people in blue would you still talk to them?
RW as long as it's sterilised and sealed when hot about 6 months, cool/dark place. refrigerate after opening
Amy well, I like cooking, it tastes very very nice and I know exactly what's in it, nothing artificial
and it's cheaper, you can reuse the bottles from other sauces too, as long as they don't have metal lids, though I bought these ones
Teej, I've been using GOOP and needles. I tried hot glue to be lazy and all I got was a blister.
*slides the bottle of Bailey's over*
You know MJ, I got the same excuse from Booster when they stopped making the mocha. They said if I asked I could still have one, but the next time I went in, the girl made an RW face at me.
O_o

HI TJ!
if you're not careful, resurrected wreck, i might end up in your city someday and follow you around a work, a costume groupie. ;)
or, i could be like a nurse to your surgeon!
resurrected wreck: i need a 10 sharp, stat!
tj: right away, seamstress! *places needle on resurrected wreck's gloved hand*
:D
Hi there TJ. Amy, yeah it's not, but I'm grateful for what I can get.
Any have you tried googleing cosplay. I think there are a number of websites out there to help you.
Ergo, that's a benefit. I just figured that 4 lbs of tomatoes would yield more than that.
But cheap is good. I like cheap!
-A
10:30, that's an interesting comment to make. And a very heavy one.
How did you come across this?
-A
Sorry If I missed someone.
10:06 Grow a pair, sign in or email me.
Martha, I sent it.
10:25 The name was picked for me so it must suit me. Changing it now would bring more trouble. No one agrees with everything I say except for me. That's the beauty of it; I like my opinions.
hi ergo!
martha, i tend to start out with the green tea flavor, so i haven't had the ones you've mentioned. i can have a one-track mind in those drink places, sometimes. *heh*
amyranth, you can't dissuade me from being excited about your sailor moon costume. is your guy dressing up as tuxedo mask??? *hopeful*
Why is seeing a different side to things harassment?
MJ, I have. I've spent a lot of time planning this costume, probably more time than I should have.
Are you dressing up this year? You should scare your boss with your costume.
-A
amyranth please just answer my question.
Ok D, you are right there. You are entitled to your opinion.
RW, you did do a really good job, I don't know if I mentioned that to you yesterday.
Thank you, A :)
hi bc! i'm so sorry to hear you're having trouble with your leg. *hugs*
hi there, dw. :)
It's 3L of sauce so that's 6 pints?
and it would be 8 lb as I used 4 kg
they do boil down a lot. Roma or egg tomatoes are best as they have more flesh and less watery seeds
I like to grab the ones from markets or growers they sell cheap as they are imperfect, and if we grow our own you always end up with heaps at one time
*sighs sadly*
No Teej, he won't. He's just not onboard with this thing. But he does like the wig idea.. O_o
-A
Why don't you just do it 10:36.
if you're not careful, resurrected wreck, i might end up in your city someday and follow you around a work, a costume groupie. ;)
or, i could be like a nurse to your surgeon!
resurrected wreck: i need a 10 sharp, stat!
tj: right away, seamstress! *places needle on resurrected wreck's gloved hand*
HAHA! Careful, I might hold you to that!
10:36, it would definitely change my perception of them.
-A
ooh DW can I have an email too?
just seeing as you're writing them?
:)
TJ you would be a great costumers nurse
I am sorry if the name offends anyone. I caught it when the word was flying in my general direction. After tonight, I'm going to stick to my blog unless someone else wants to accuse me of something.
Thank you Dickweed.
amyranth, that is very sad. the world needs more tuxedo masks, i think. *sigh*
resurrected wreck, i could do it too! i know what temp to set an iron on for different fabrics, and the difference between smocking and gathering! *shiny puppy face*
and see! ergo thinks i would be great at it! :D
You're hired, TJ!
resurrected wreck, i could do it too! i know what temp to set an iron on for different fabrics, and the difference between smocking and gathering! *shiny puppy face*
O_O
How about you make a pit stop in Calgary first? I have no idea what the difference is between smocking and gathering.
-A
Ergoproxy, would you like something pointless or the book I wrote containing my thoughts on blogs?
dw, don't stick to your blog. you've been an enjoyable addition to the conversation, nonewithstanding the controversy that pops up occasionally.
and you're handing out emails? did you bring enough for everyone? *hands on hips*
Dickweed I think you should stay here. I think you have something good to offer.
Just look at who is on the porch Amyranth.
Just be careful not to sew over your hand, TJ. I think I'm the only stitcher I know who hasn't done that.
You're hired, TJ!
whoo-hoo! let me just zip up my suitcase and i'm there! :D
How about you make a pit stop in Calgary first? I have no idea what the difference is between smocking and gathering.
i'll swing by and pick you up and then you can be the apprentice sewing nurse. y/n? :)
Yes please! It'll take me a bit, and probably some sewing over my hand, but I'll understand someday!
-A
I'm done here.
I see strengths in all of you. You are good people EVERYONE.
If you try to resolve this, it is to your benefit, however the reality is not everyone gets along. Respect and tolerance are good things to acquire.
Goodnight all.
10:45, I see.
Godnight, 10:48pm :)
DW, I agree with Teej and Meej (XD) but you already know that.
-A
thank you for your answer amyranth. you are very bright.
Compare the times Amyranth. Think about it.
Goodnight 1048
oh I didn't know I'd have a choice!
Whatever you like DW, I'd like to read your thoughts, though pointless and fun is always appealing too :)
Just be careful not to sew over your hand, TJ. I think I'm the only stitcher I know who hasn't done that.
well, i have to admit, there have been a few occasions where i pulled my hand away from the cloth and my finger remained attached. *oops* but only with hand-sewing. i'm too paranoid of that happening with the machine to sew fast enough to be a danger.
i mostly stick to hand-sewing. lol
good night 10:48. the blog, just like life, is messy. all we can do is do our best.
sweet dreams to you.
*nods at 10:50*
Teej and RW, I was pinning a part of my boot covers together and I pinned a part of one to my leg. :S
-A
is it ok if i e mail you some time amyranth. i wanted to show you something.
goodnight 10:48 anon
wise and thoughtful words, thanks
10.45 is not me.
10:54, if you'd like. My email is on my profile.
-A
I've sewn things to my jeans before, A. I learned from that to sew on a table, not my lap.
I have never sewn my hand, though I have a number of parallel scars from the base of my left thumbnail from hand stitching
but
I always glue my fingers together, or to the object when I use superglue
always!
Thank you but I'd rather not bring you any more chaos than you already have here.
Toujours, sure thing. I have something to tell you anyway.
Do you guys not feel pain or something. I mean at some point you are going to stick it in deep enough for it to start bleeding.
Notice how all porch activity stopped once we said who the anons might be. Interesting.
Dickweed this place is nothing but choas.
MJ, when I was pinning my boot covers together, I was slipping pins under my skin and just not realizing it at all. It made it pretty painful when I pulled them off to sew them though.
-A
Teej and RW, I was pinning a part of my boot covers together and I pinned a part of one to my leg. :S
i cannnot even giggle at this, mayranth, although i can shake my head knowingly. i used to wear skirts, and would sit cross-legged to sew. when i was working on a long seam, i liked to tuck my skirt under my leg to keep it tight, and pin the end of the seam to the fabric across my thigh, to help me maintain the proper tension.
there were a couple of times when i pinned too deeply. fabric would lift up when i tried to move it. lol
i have absolutely no pain receptors left, i swear.
i dont like seeing you harassed by these people. sleep well amyranth.
Toujours, sure thing. I have something to tell you anyway.
now i'm curious!
I stick myself with pins all the time, MJ. I have bled on most of the costumes I've worked on. Our teachers told us that's good luck, but I think they were just trying to keep us working.
What in the everloving, motherfucking, sonofabitching FUCK went on in here tonight? Amy, are you ok?
Hey all, what the Hell?
Goodnight 11:01. Thank you.
Hallo J! Wanna join the Stitch'n'Bitch?
Right now, we're complaining about the injuries inflicted when we sew.

Why do you go over there if you don't like the porchies? Why are you spying on them? You wanted them gone, but you go over there so you can stir the pot.There is no winning,is there?
sorry about mangling your name in my sewing comment, amyranth. geez. :/
martha, i have done the whole queen from snow white thing and left blood on embroidery projects. you learn real quick to check after you prick yourself.
i totally paused before typing "prick", but seriously, that's the word for it!
hello J and L
hi j., how's it going?

I would advise you to open that email slowly, Amyranth. Especially any photographic attachments.
^_~
*grins at Jeet*
-A
No one attacked Amyranth. She was asked some questions. Of course she's OK.
Thanks TJ :)
Hi, J :)
How's things?
Hey Martha! It's just J this time. L's tired, she ran some errands today and is resting.
Hey Amy! No, I don't sew, so no sewing accidents for me, thanks.
Hey TJ! Are you on the second book yet? ;)
Hi J!
Mj I can say in my experiences it is done very quickly then followed by a lot of pain and swearing at inanimate ojects
Hey there J
No, it is NOT "OK". Smoke attacked Amy at her own blog. People were bothering her. It's harassment pure and simple.
*perks up*
Did you say pornographic attachments?
-A
Wow, people coming out of the woodwork! Hey Ergo, BC, RW!
And Big D, if you're hanging out in the shadows...*sniffs for bleach*
J, is L feeling much better today?
I know she said she felt good yesterday but..
-A
And over at the porch..... Them talking about not even acknowledging Amy's Fix and how it's so hypocritical over here, saying they disagreed with her for so many reasons. Sorry. NOT OK.
also , you accuse people just because they go on aim? You are doing the same snooping around and sending emails. Get over yourself. Dickweed,if you were given that name,i guess it doesn't bother you anymore so why not move on and use your real name.Why send out all the emails to certain people here,to let some people know who you are? Sounds like you are all guilty of the things you accused a certain group of doing.
I've said before but badgers to me reminds me of when my daughter said we had to lock the house so badgers wouldn't get in to take our stuff
she did mean burglars but the visual was so cute!
Who said pornographic attachments?
Where? Forward please.
^_~
SIGN IN TWISTED! OR are you ashamed of the people you are defending? I would be too if they were my "friends".
J talk L I said hi anyway. I hope she feels better soon.
I am surrounded by animals.
Are your kitties all over you, MJ?
And suddenly when the porchies go to bed the amy harassment ends.
I see a connection
Sometimes you gotta watch for those rogue badgers, Ergo. They'll rob you blind.
They're almost as bad as Weasels.
x_x
Amy, L's feeling a WHOLE lot better today! She actually went to THREE places today, all by herself, and didn't even tilt to one side in fatigue!
She asked me to tell everyone she's going to be emailing and visiting blogs tomorrow, so don't worry, she didn't forget anyone. :)
SIGN IN TWISTED! OR are you ashamed of the people you are defending? I would be too if they were my "friends".
October 11, 2008 11:14 PM
Are you ashamed of the people you are defending? I do defend people i like, but i will never call anybody names, like them or not. Are you the anon who i like to call the anon without an account?
The porchies could say the same thing about all the "blues" over here being the anons that are trashing them.
I think anons like to play both sides.
Interesting.
j., i have to wait to go to the library on monday to get the next books in the series. *sigh*
i started reading neuromancer today. it's good!
Oh good J. I'm glad to hear she's shaping up.
MJ, if you're having a problem being smothered by kittens, I'd be happy to take them off your hands.
-A
11:11 Sign in and I'll send you one too. It has nothing to do with who I am. Again, people need to ask before they accuse. To be honest, all I changed in the emails to the masses are the opening paragraph and subject. Also, I accused no one of anything like that. The name doesn't bother me as much as it seems to bother you. (Really, I keep identities to myself. Email me if you want to hash this out without starting shit.)
Hello J! I promise..... you will get an email tonight.
sneaks in to steal ergoproxy's homemade ketchup
I think anons like to play both sides.
I think some anons like the people on both sides.
eeep!!!!
*hides ketchup*
Certainly, Martha! She says "HI" back and waves at everyone.
*L waves at computer while watching "The Death of Marilyn Monroe"*
TJ, ooh, too bad! You'll probably get Neuromancer finished before you go, though. Knowing how you read, that is. :)
And the doggie.
Amy here is a kitty =^.^=
Goodnight blogger peeps.
dickweed,i'm not here to start shit with you. There is no difference with me being anon and you being dickweed. We can agree to disagree.No name calling from me.
goodnight 1124
I'm back at 9:33 and skimming. I hope everything gets nicer? I want happy lala land by the time I catch up, people!
hello carrie
SIGN IN TWISTED! OR are you ashamed of the people you are defending? I would be too if they were my "friends".
October 11, 2008 11:14 PM
This is the kind of person i have a problem with...no one else. They are the ones without nothing nice to say:(
"Hello J! I promise..... you will get an email tonight."
Hmm. I've heard promises like that before. Except change out the 'an email' part and substitute--oh wait, I'm in public, I can't say that.
O_o
How you doing tonight, Big D? Oh, when you get the broom back, just keep it. I have several. :)
HI carrie1
damn the badger got one, oh well I have enough to share
hope he likes dipping his grubs and such in it
Goodnight badger. Hi carrie.
*waves to L*
Hi, Carrie! :)
Goodnight Badger Burglar with Homemade Ketchup! Watch out for Weasels!
Martha, I feel sooooo way behind, but did your one cat ever come home?
Hey Carrie!
11:24 could you maybe identify yourself a little? like a symbol or such so you don't get muddled up with others?
I want a smoothie what kind should I make. I have
mangoes
strawberries
blueberries
raspberries
pineapple
peaches
blackberries
bananas
Thta's not an anon Ergo, it is Twisted simply not signed in and pretending to be anon.
J
Ha! I've already sent it to you. I've sent so many tonight, I've lost track of who got what. I sure hope my secret identity is still a secret. ;)
No he didn't J.
Ooh, Martha, thank you for the kitty face!
Hallo Carrie! How's Breaking Dawn?
-A
Banana peach, MJ!
WHY IS TOUJOURS PICTURE OF THE SHEEP GONE FROM THE PORCH? I GUESS THEY ARE TOTALLY CLEAR ABOUT WHERE THEY STAND!! NICE ONE PORCHIES!!
Why does Twisted always try to hide her identity from certain people? You don't see anyone else here doing that.
A Honeyberry smoothie?
All your berries, honey and vanilla ice cream!
With chocolate!
-A
What is TJ's sheep picture replaced with? A picture of the for of them with the words THANK YOU MAYO. I think that says it all!!

Haha.
Martha, pineapple banana is always good in my opinion.
HI! Where's my happy lala land? Where we all love each other and dance around in a Teletubbie like synchronized dance? Breaking Dawn is just as horrible as ever, Bella is a vamp now, but a super controlled vamp, so she's not ripping Meyer's throat out for writing her so insipid. And I am not anon, and I like both "sides" just for the record. And also, I can attest to the fact that the DW email is no identity reveal, the bitch/bastard. (And I mean that in a nice way)

October 11, 2008 11:32 PM
♥ That is me, not twisted
Twisted and I are not the same. Reading back a few days would easily prove that. ;)
That was called sarcasm and J knows that.
Amy i don't have any honey. I do have volcano honey and sweet cream Ice cream. but that is to good to go into a smoothie.
TJ, ooh, too bad! You'll probably get Neuromancer finished before you go, though. Knowing how you read, that is. :)
um....you know me too well! :D
i'm almost at the end...just 40 pages left. my latin nickname is helluo librorum! ("devourer of books" lol)
"And also, I can attest to the fact that the DW email is no identity reveal, the bitch/bastard. (And I mean that in a nice way)"
Carrie..... *shakes head*
That was for your own good, remember?
These are the words tacked up on the "porch.
any poor souls
who trespass against us
Whether it be beast or man
Will suffer the bite
or be stung dead on sight
By those who inhabit this land
For theirs is the power
And this is their kingdom
as sure as the sun does burn
Not very welcoming! And TJ's picture gone. That makes it all totally clear Smoke and Sdock and the rest of you. All too clear....
WHY IS TOUJOURS PICTURE OF THE SHEEP GONE FROM THE PORCH? I GUESS THEY ARE TOTALLY CLEAR ABOUT WHERE THEY STAND!! NICE ONE PORCHIES!!
October 11, 2008 11:35 PM
Really anon, you are something else. You are the one going around and posting things from different blogs. You should feel so proud.
I know! I know!! I was always the one who read the last page of the mystery first though.
so stay off the porch
