I Hate Swimming
I am barefoot
and the pavement burns
my pale soles.
I begin to shuffle
first to the left
then, right.
Holding each
until I can no longer stand
without wobble.
I would seek shelter
but, that would find
me leaving you
alone, again.
And, I can’t.
Won’t.
Your willful eyes
and your exuberance
stand with me.
I am here
to brave the burn.
p.s. all that stuff about going blind is a lie.

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.

Not my fault. Things just seem to happen.
You believe me, right? I am Elena the Pure after all.
drat!! my menacingness (?) is foiled!
perhaps we need Darth Mayo
...blogbelieve *deep breathing* I am your father!!!!!
Good early morning, Mayo.
I like this post. I read it two or three times in a row, just to get the feel of it:
Making a sacrifice for someone because you care for them. Because you want to, have to, NEED to do so. Staying when your strongest instinct is to run. "I would seek shelter but, that would find me leaving you alone, again. And, I can't. Won't." Determination to do what you feel you should've done before, maybe a long time ago, maybe not so long. Doing what you have to do now, in order to make things right.
How close did I get? :)
Nah, you don't need to tell me. It's ok.
Goodnight, Mayo. Take care.
goodnight J sweet dreams
I guess I missed everyone goodnight
Oh yeah
Darth Mayo (I like that heavy breathing)
We need Darth Mayo
And a beautiful, starry good early morning to you as well, SS my dear. I hope this finds you in good spirits and waiting for Thanksgiving.
I think sometimes we all take for granted the good things we have in life. Things like: a home to sleep in; enough food to keep us from starving; (fairly) good health; even "simple" things like eyesight, hearing, capacity to think, talk, etc. And don't forget family (even if they drive us crazy at the best of times--!), and friends.
I admit to taking all those things, and more, for granted myself, over the course of my life. Now that I've gone through some difficult spots and have come to this point in my life, I work hard at remembering that any of it could be gone at any time.
Priorities change when you realize how different your life would be without even ONE of those things being in it. You think, Wow, what if I'd been born 10 years earlier? Or later? What if I lived in a different country, or state? What if I couldn't take care of myself? What if my family weren't my family, but someone else's? What if my best friend didn't even know who I was? What if I had said this, instead of that?
What if I gave up on something, thinking it would be terrible, and then found out I made the biggest mistake of my life?
I ask those kinds of questions a lot anymore.
The answers usually make me take a second, or third, or even fourth look at my life. I may not always like the answers, but I do consider them now.
Think I've rambled enough for now. Well, probably for a good two or three days...but I DID say I would write you a comment. (Ok, I didn't say I'd write War and Peace over, but hey.)
Goodnight, precious. I love you.
My heart to yours, always.

Hi anon
I know the pic isn't for me but I peeked. Hope you don't mind. It's beautiful.

goodnight MJ sweet dreams
elena I whole heartedly agree
i thought you all had gone to bed
mayo,
yesterday, spending the afternoon in the woods, it's like it gave me a space in which to be quiet with myself. when i finally left them, on the other side from where i went in, it was dusk. i walked out into the middle of the field there, where it rose to its highest point, and looked around at the landscape. hills, and trees, and open fields ready to sleep all tucked in between. no houses. no people. just me.
the moon was up. a hawk flew from one line of trees to another, calling out. there were a few bats out, too, and i watched them circling and swooping. they were very cute, actually.
it was just a moment where i felt like if i reached out, i would be able to touch every corner of the world. it wasn't an exultant moment. it was quiet. it was rooted.
i'm always asking "what does it mean?" to me, being a pagan means always looking underneath everything. as a writer, i know that stories are everywhere. i don't know what that moment meant, i don't know if it was a gift or a message.
but i do know that when i stood there, the moon above me, in the middle of that field, and the light fading, i turned and faced each corner. in my mind's eye i looked ahead of me across the stretching miles, imagined seeing myself as if on a map, and in each direction, i knew there lay the home of a friend.
blogbelieve is as real as we allow it to be. hearts and minds we are here. i can't touch the shoulder of a friend who is in pain, but when we sit here, we are together. that's not made-up. it's not imaginary, and it's not inconsequential.
this may just "just a blog", but to say so is dismissive of the very real people who log on everyday in order to be connected to other like-minded souls. we are enhanced by blogbelieve. our lives are embellished by it.
and i know you understand this, because if you didn't, blogbelieve would have faded away long ago.
i'm not going to say thank you tonight, mayo. i'm just going to close my eyes, and reach out to the homes of all my friends. together, we are a constellation across the globe. it makes me happy to be a small part of that web.
good night, mayo-sama. dream deeply.
Mj this time of night is dinner etc but I sneak in and out for a while (it's only 7:30)
ep what are you having for dinner
we just finished MJ I made a beef provencale casserole (beef, carrot, bacon,garlic and herbs and tomato in red wine)
had it with mashed potato and it was very nice
what time is it by you?
1:47 am sounds good ep
if you ever came over I would make it for you! it's also great as I chucked it in the slow cooker after lunch and it does it's own thing until dinner time
nice i hope it was a hit
it was thanks
I'm off for my shower ad to watch TV, see you tomorrow MJ
have a nice sunday
:]
night ep
Mayo
well, are you having a good weekend? I hope so, mine is over again, worse luck. They never seem long enough, then you get to the working week and *poof*! It all seems to disappear.
I think Doug Larson said it well
"For disappearing acts, it's hard to beat what happens to the eight hours supposedly left after eight of sleep and eight of work."
Ain't that the truth.
Wishing you hours, minutes, seconds all to yourself and those you hold dear.
much love EP xx
SS
Did you experience something beautiful today? Something that made you feel that that moment was the most perfect moment it could ever be? Something that brought into your grasp all the wonder that you could hope to feel?
"Real elation is when you feel you could touch a star without standing on tiptoe. " Douglas Larson
Maybe it wasn't anything that anyone else even noticed. But if you didn't, I hope it's waiting for you as each new day dawns.
Sending you sights, words and feelings that make your life special.
lotsa love EP xx
goodnight blogbelieve, see you in my morning

"It is an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem. For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much - the wheel, New York, wars and so on - whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man - for precisely the same reasons."

Mayo, Mayo, Mayo,
Why am I saying your Blogdenity 3 times? I dunno, I think the bigger and better question is why am I capitalizing Blogdenity, a totally new made up word.
How are you? Did you wake up today with some fresh new outlook on the week ahead or did you wake up looking back at the week behind you? Either choice is kind of fucked up. Means you're not living in the tick tock of the moment before you. Wait, what was that? Oh just the sound of seconds slipping away. Gah!
Your posts always get me to thinking about my own shit. I really shouldn't call it "shit" should I, but it's mine and I can call it what I like. Maybe I should give it a name...like...hmmm what's a good name for my life? Wow, I'm spending way too much time pondering on that one. I'll have to get back to ya when I figure it out.
The things we do for love....Where do you draw the imaginary line, dude? Some people are takers and they'll let you give, give, give of yourself until there is nothing left. You might even convince yourself that you love doing these things as much as they do. And there's truth to that...I never thought I'd go swimming in a murky river, bait my own hook, catch a 10 pound bass, fire a gun, go camping. I found myself falling in love with those activities as much as I was falling for him. I was open to so many new things. I wanted to try it all. And I did, Mayo. I tried it all...the good and the terrible. Looking back, I suppose I used love as my excuse for dabbling in the self destructive. True enough, I would probably never have been around such had he not shown it to me. And I don't have to call it by name because I'm pretty sure you get where I'm going with this.
Was it really for love? Was it out of desperation? Was it out of fear of being alone? Was it just plain old curiosity? Yes, yes, yes, yes.
I guess I'm just trying to tell you to be aware, dude. Love is most definitely a give, give, give, take relationship. And I know what it's like to do something just to be able to see a smile on someone's face. I know what it's like to participate in something just so someone doesn't have to feel alone.
I know you don't like to be told to "be careful" and of course, I can only base what I'm writing to you on my own experiences, but be careful, Mayo. It's okay to give of yourself, but make sure you're not the only one doing the giving or you'll wake up one day to find there's nothing left. You'll be sick and tired, lost and scarred, and they'll be bored and ready to move on.
You'll have nothing but a bunch of boxes filled with stuff you'll never use, a bad taste in your mouth and a hunger that you can never satisfy.
Get me?
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. And questions for yourself that you can't answer.
Mayo,
Dude. You should have seen what I did this morning. Some of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen. I hope to get some piccies later. I don't know. It may not be pretty to anyone but me. I think you'd like it though.
Have a nice Sunday, Mayo!
SS!!!

As far as how my weekend went, it has been too fucking cold and windy. Last night my hands were freezing. Tomorrow, I am going to the doctor's and to get my neck X-rayed. It's been four weeks already since I got sick. >_<
Anyways, I hope you're well *hugs*
Find out about epic scrabble losses, how to follow your dreams and more about the new album by watching Laz and Faz on Rollingstone.com.
11:26 PM -
Awesome! From the way you guys describe it, it seems to be just what I've come to expect and love from every Taking Back Sunday album, but with the element of being new. Again. ^_^ Anyway, color me stoked; I can't wait to hear this and drive down the LIE at 75 car-dancing along to it! :D

she never has anything better to do than be on the internet and stalk bands
If anyone wants to read the stories about the ceremony and the party yesterday and last night, and see some pics and videos of real, and really awesome Kung fu, I put most of it here.
Another time maybe I'll break it down and list some smaller videos to post just here, but I don't feel like doing it tonight. ^_^

November 9, 2008 6:55 PM
And you have nothing better to do than stalk Kapunua.
Oh yes, 6:55, what a terrible thing for me to answer the posts of my favorite band! OH NOEZ. Heaven knows that when they write them they don't want any comments!
7:01, thanks. Good point! :)
I miss you all, loaddss.
:) xo.
Can you imagine the fallout, both personally and professionally, if he had said no?
Why would they have asked to begin with if they weren't good friends? I think there is alot of fans trying to think Frank did it for the good of the relationship between him and Gerard, but really, did Jimmy or Lindsay ask to put him in that position or are they realy actual friends?
Jade! Hi! It's been ages, I hope you and your family are well. :)
7:11, I agree with what you said: If indeed Frank was put on the spot like that, that's just fully wrong and evil and mean. I've been on that spot and I hate it. It lost me my job because I have a very difficult time bowing to others when they do that kind of crap.
But there is no indication that he was put on the spot. For all we know, those are some of his favorite songs. It doesn't feel like they would be, but who can say?
I'm still 0_0 since I've found out
WTAF, Frank
Jules,
Amazing videos! Looks like it was an awesome night! Thanks for sharing!
Exactly. I don't think he was put on the spot. I don't know Jimmy r anyone in the band, but I think if they knew Frank disliked them at all, they would just leave it at that. Not dig and make him come on tour with them.
It doesn't stop me from being disappointed, and I kinda hate myself for that.
Or*
Watch my skillz.
Thank you, Solly! Thanks for reading. It was amazing and so humbling. :)
Anon, that's how I feel, too. Just disappointed, when I shouldn't even bother to be, because I should know better.
AIM anyone?
Many of you keep saying that Gerard is Frank's best friend. Honestly, I don't remember ever having heard either of them say that. I've read interviews where Gerard talked about having the same best friends since art school (which couldn't possibly be Frank), and he's called Lindsey his best friend more than once. Also, Jimmy Urine has said that Gerard is his best friend. I don't recall Frank ever mentioning a best friend at all.
Just because they are in a band together that doesn't automatically equate to being best friends.
Jules! Those videos and piccies were awesome! :)
Frank's best friend is probably his wife.
Thank you, Princess!
Anon, I just dunno. I doubt if he was put on the spot, best friend or not, I guess. Because even regular friends don't do that. And if they put you on the spot like that and they ask you to do something you don't believe in, you say no. If they don't accept that, they're not your friend in the first place.
Selling out to appease someone isn't being a friend, it's being someone's bitch.
However, there's nothing saying that he doesn't think that MSI is great and Five Year Old Panty Shot isn't his most favoritest song eva. :/

0_o
But you'll note that I said I didn't think that was the case. For all we know, Frank's totally cool with it, otherwise he wouldn't have done it.
Either scenario would be a downer.
Cheer up Kapu. You still have
Taking Back Sunday
SHE SAID DON'T!
Oh man how I love that opening. ANd I love it live, too, when the whole entire audience screams that first line. ^_^
Thank you anon. :D
You're welcome.
:)
Anon, if you've never seen them live, I hope you get to. I've seen them three times and I always have the best time ever. They are such a tremendous live band.
I haven't seen them live. Maybe I'll see them on their next tour.
Oh man, do try. It's so much fun and you can just dance and mosh and sing along. The way they were talking about their new album made me so excited to hear it. ^_^
*bounces around*
12 DAYS LEFT!
I'm more excited about new TUA than I am about my own anniversary. :/
Bad Amy ^_^
Hey there, how are you? Uh, I didn't get your email. just to let you know :/
"Kapunua said...
Hi again guys!
I have so many pics and videos to post, and in the videos, for those who care to watch, you can see real, and really incredible, Kung Fu. I left the SiBai ceremony so humbled and so inspired to do better and I will just have to share some of those amazing videos.
But just for tonight, I have this one pic from after the ceremony. ^_^
I'm going to see if there are any good movies to watch on iO tonight. Later! :D"
"iO TV® gives you all the choices you want -- HD movies and hundreds of free On Demand choices from AMC, Food Network, TLC, Discovery Channel, HDTV and more!"
That's from optimum online
Really? BC, that's odd.
You know it doesn't show up as Amyranth, right? It shows up under my real name?
It might have landed in your junk folder, but I'll try again, one sec.
Amy, oh shit, hold on. I think I did get your email after all.
It usually takes hours for me to get them, so I might have gotten confused :/
K, BC just emailed you again.
Ok.
I had to restart my computer.
Sorry Amy. Besides that, how are you?
Not too bad. Spending my day swilling tree sap, trying to fight off this chest cold. Still job hunting too.
So, keepin busy and warm, how about you?
You're sick Amy? I hope you get better soon.
I'm hanging in there. I'm gonna go see a doctor tomorrow and get some X-rays.
It's been freaking cold over the weekend.
The opposite here, which is odd for Canada. It was 13 degrees today.
Yeah, nothing serious. Are the x-rays for your arthritis?
How is everyone??
I'm fine 9:56, and how are you?
hello anon, amy BC K, smoke sdock
and did I see jade????
HI JADE!!
Hallo 9:56, 10:01 and Ergo!
Hi 10:01. I am doing ok. What are you up to?
When you think your night can't get any better, you hear from a long-lost and beloved friend from whom you haven't heard a word in many months, and she tells you how wonderful her life is and you compare exciting new adventures.
^____^
Amy, no. It's for my neck and shoulder.
Big hey to all those who arrived.
that's cool K
I jsut got back from town and am going to dye the roots of my hair, does it get more exciting??
and I did n't realise 2 anons were there
hi 9:56 & 10:01
Aw hell BC. I hope it goes well.
I was just checking into Mayo's when I saw you there and I didn't want you to feel alone.
Wow, Ergo, root dyeing is a lost art, you know?
Oh, and Hello to everyone else.
You are very nice!
lol amy I'm too cheap to go to the hairdresser so I do it myself.
LOL.
My cousin would always ask for my help because she'd "get it wrong".
Then, she'd bitch about me doing it wrong.
Ditto! 9:56.
Thanks Amy. Hahaha, I got your email ^_^
Oh good BC!
I'm glad I have your correct email now, I've got an important email to send out soon.
well I have managed to get the dye on without getting it all over my face, now I just wait.
I probably do a shit job really but it's only really noticeable on mu center part and fringe , the back is out of sight-out of mind
No problem Amy, although you should bring an extra loincloth just in case :p
That's cool, Ergo, I love doing that.
Well, I am hunting for a nice guzheng, then I'm going to watch my DVD and hit the scratchy hay.
I miss Splash. >_<
Night!
I'm tired so I'm off to bed. Goodnight 9:56. Goodnight all.
It has been a long day.
Goodnight guys.
Goodnight 10:01.
BC, I have quite a supply of loincloths for just such an emergency!
goodnigth K enjoy
goodnight 10:01 sleep well
I thought so Amy ^_^
Do you also supply coconut bras?
Why BC, are you going to learn Hula too?
Well, not true coconut. They're a polymer blend, because coconut fibre makes my boobs itch.
But then they're carved into little skull heads anyway.
No anon. It's because MJ and I would perform voodoo rituals whenever an evil anon rears its ugly head.
No really. You can ask her yourself ^_^
A scull-shaped bra? Interesting.
X_x
I have a coconut bra too :]
That's so cool ergo ^_^
Too bad those things probably won't fit my boobs :p
^^ Yep, this blog always goes back to the boobs, hee.
HOOTERS!
Hey, nothing wrong with a little breast appreciation!
they are a good topic
Ergo, they get their own month on this side of the hemisphere.
Which was last month, so we're a little behind, but oh well.
Guys love 'em, girls got 'em. Support the fight.
I always like to use the phrase "attractive AND functional"
LOL!
More like "Distractive and Functional."
hello.
i just found out they are remaking "clash of the titans".
i don't know how i feel about this. :/
The last Titans movie I saw was Remember The Titans. A Disney football movie.
:P
At least a couple of the guys were hot.
I've been to a Hooters once. Ha.
Hi there TJ :)
Amy, I thought that movie was pretty good. I thought that Kip dude was pretty hot ^_~
HI TJ!
hi amyranth, hi bc.
amyranth, it's not a football movie. it was a movie starring harry hamlin all about the greek myths...
well, maybe it's better you don't know about it. it was a bit cheesy. :)
hello, ergo!
whatcha been doin TJ?
i went back into the woods again, ergo. this time, an owl flew away from me. it was massive, and beautiful, and perfectly totally soundless.
amazing.
i'm going to go down to the archives now, gotta get everything put together before i leave.
i'll be back in a bit.
oh wow owls are lovely
I have a peahen in the yard again
see ya soon!
Hello???
Wow my voice is echoing.
Hi elena!!!!
I thought I was alone
See you TJ. Hey there elena
*comes in singing*
"You're not alone
There is more to this, I know
You can make it out
You will live to tell"
^credit to the two anons, up there, and Saosin^
Awww....I love Saosin!
Hello Mayo, SS, Ergo, Amy, Sweetcheeks, TJ; various anons, various watchers and various lurkers!
How are you all tonight? Good, I hope!
Ergo: *smoooooooooch*
How was your day? Did you get to ride on the hoe?
Sweetcheeks: What the heck is going on with your e~mail? Everything I send keeps getting sent back to me as "not deliverable".
:(
Amy: Are you ready to "ROCK THE CRADLE"? I even brought some of that "Perfect Drug"! I only have enough left for about 4 or 5 Absinthe Frappes. Who wants one?
;)
TJ: What did you do today? Did you finish your writing assignment?
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~
6/Wendy
PS: Amy ~ You, the mister and the "bro" ARE going see NIN in Canada next week, right?
Hey BC
How you feeling tonight? Any better?
Hi Ergo
Hi Elena!!! You snuck in while I was typing my hellos. How are you feeling? Better, I hope!
Wendy *huge Hug*
I've missed you. Oh wait I take back that hug. Don't want to share my germs.
How the hell you been?
wendy! *SMOOOOOOOOOOOOCH*
no hoe today, i can't do it unsupervised, lol
Lord knows what mess I'd make!
Elena: You're germs won't hurt me none! The absinthe will kill them all!
Come on. Give me one of your biggest, best, tightest hugs!
I've missed you too!!!!!!!!!!
Ergo: That's right. I forgot.
*blushes*
One must never ride a "hoe" unsupervised! Serious injury could occur!
;)
Okay Wendy but don't say I didn't warn you...
I'm not only suffering from the flu I'm in a dark mood.
But here goes......HUG (wow that took a lot out of me)
I'm doing a bit better Elena, thanks. I'm gonna see the doctor tomorrow about my neck though.
I hope you're well?
Hi there sugarplum!!! *blows kisses and hugs* I have missed your presence greatly here in the land of Blog.
How are you?
I had to send you another email today.
*passes elena nice mug of tea with brandy*
here help get your strength back
Thank you, Elena!!! I enjoyed that very much. Sorry it took so much out of you, though. I'll give it all back with this:
*huge (but gentle) hug*
How are things with your daughter? I read that there was some sort of news. I hope everything is ~ or will be ~ okay.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"The land of Blog". I like that sweetcheeks!!! I think I'll start using that term instead of "blogbelieve"!
I'm okay. Thanks for asking!
Did you enjoy your Sunday?
Thank you Ergo
Wendy, Flighty is okay just young and well...flighty.
Thank you for the hug and your concern.
You're welcome sugarplum. I'm sorry about the emails thing. I didn't know it would be so bad. I sent you another one though, but in case, use my yahoo email :)
As for my sunday, I stayed home. It's been too cold over the weekend, and everyone's sick, so I stayed home trying to nurse myself.
How was your sunday?
I was checking out some bands from Finland, and it sucks to know that so many of them are cute :/
You're welcome, Elena! You can e~mail me if you wish to speak in more detail. I miss your e~mails!
There is both good and bad news concerning Flighty.
The good news:
She won't always be young.
The bad news:
She could, possibly, always be flighty!
We shall all hope for the best for your sake!
Hello hikaru
Hello, to you, Hikaro!
Sweetcheeks: I don't think the "cuteness" factor sucks. I don't think that sucks, at all!
;)
The thing that always amazes me is how the much the talent surpasses the cuteness!
hello bc
hello 6
hiya hardass lesbian !!
Where the heck did Amy go? I thought we had a "date". I must have messed up my calendar again!
And, did TJ leave us, for the night, too?
Augh, just catching up!
BC, I thought that the guy who played Gerry wasn't bad looking either.
WENDY!!
I wanna see NIN, but they're not coming to Calgary. It's a bit of a stretch, what with the sex show coming next week anyway.
How are you, Hikaru? Did you enjoy your weekend?
Darn it! I forgot about that sex show, Amy. I wanted to make that one!!!!
Ohhh.....what corset are you going to wear? Or, are clothes optional?
Well then sugarplum, I shall be booking a flight to Finland. I'll get a husband there ;)
But yes, I agree there's a lot of talent out there in the music scene.
brb
Hallo again Amy!
Wendy I sent an e-mail
Hello ep and 6 it was alright
Book that flight for next month, Sweetcheeks! You can meet me there!
If I survive a 13+ hour flight (without nicotene), that is.
:/
I am going to go through serious withdrawal.
*note to self: ask my neighbor/Dr. A. for a prescription for valium*
That should help!
Don't take too long, Ergo!
Going check, Elena! I'll also try resending yours, Sweetcheeks.
I'll be back in a bit!
Try to behave, while I'm gone, Amy and Hikaru!
*crosses fingers behind her back*
Okay sugarplum ^_^
It's a fully dressed show Wendy.
Unfortunately.
But apparently, you can take pole dancing classes there, which could pay off.
pole dancing does look like fun
back up from the archives, so hello again.
hi again TJ
Did someone say "pole dancing" classes? Sign me up!
Wait, fully dressed?
Nevermind.
;P
Elena: Your reply has been sent.
Sweetcheeks: I'm working on yours.
Hikaru: Wanna learn some pole dancing?
pole dancings burn lots of calories
I imagine it does! HI anon
how are you?
did we save the world while i was in the archives?
obviously uncoordinated judging by my spelling ergo. and i've only had 2 glasses of wine.
ah well at least you're probably relaxed enough not to care about spelling
TJ it appears to still be here...was it in imminent danger?
Thanks Wendy
Hi TJ and Anon
hi elena, toujours, ergo, anyone i missed :)
hi elena.
not that i know of, ergo. i was just curious.
Hi again TJ. Hi there anon.
Sugarplum, I got your email. It's the same one you sent the other day :p
I did send a brand spanking new one earlier tonight though :)
hello there, anon.
Pole dancing is supposed to be a really good form of exercise, from what I hear. You work a lot of muscles on yourself.
I think the hard part would be explaining the pole though.
*phew*
a close shave then TJ :]
and hi again to you too, bc.
well, you just never know, ergo. and you won't until you ask, or so i'm told.
yep.
toujours said...
did we save the world while i was in the archives?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We're trying to better the world through pole dancing and absinthe, TJ.
I think it could work. It, certainly, can't hurt (to try)!
Hello anon!
Sweetcheeks: I've sent the mail to two of your addresses. I hope at least one goes through.
me
the world is always is danger of alienation ergo
the end of ze world
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
haven't lost my touch
*happy dance*
I think the hard part would be explaining the pole though.
I wanna be a firemen?
make the world better by pole dancing...so that's what Carmen Elektra is trying to do!

It's holding up the roof?
Oh, and SEX SHOWS! How could I forget about the betterment of the world through Sex Shows?
Please forgive me, Amy/Queen of the Damned Universe! Your high priestess deserves to be beaten (with a leather whip). ;)
