I recently received a text message from a very good friend:
“You watch grinch? What the fuck are they singing?”
I replied:
“Been a while: Ah-boo-doe-ray, Ah-boo-doe-ray. Or something like that. But what I really wanna know is why santa is such a dick to rudolph.”
This was my friends reply:
“Donner a dick too.”
And because I can’t let anything go without an overdone, unnecessary, crack-pot analysis, I replied again:
“Yeah, what up with that. Nice message to send kids…youre different and I dont like you, so fuck you until I need you to pull my sleigh. Then I like you. Santa almost push rudolph over the edge.”
My friend was probably thinking "Why did I even ask?"
But, yeah Santa is pretty much a dick to Rudolph. I believe he says something to the effect of "Pity, and he had potential, too.” And my friend was right, Donner was a dick. Desperate to prove himself a worthy sperm donor, he makes Rudolph cover up his depreciatory genetic mutation. Explaining to his son that there are more important things in life than comfort, like self-respect.
The message: If you don't fit in, you aren't worth shit. So suck it up until you either fit in or someone needs you for something.
And then everyone tries to take it back and pin the "reindeer of the year" award on Rudolph. Kids have to see through that.
(Clarice knew what was up, though. Right from the beginning she knew Rudolph was the shit.)
So, I say to Santa and the rest of the fuckers in this world...just because someone doesn’t fit your image of what “a something” should be you think that they are incapable? Not worthy? Without feelings?
"Just wait, and watch your back."
And, of course I had to look that shit up, so here it is:
Welcome Christmas
Fah who for-aze!
Dah who dor-aze!
Welcome Christmas,
Come this way!
Fah who for-aze!
Dah who dor-aze!
Welcome Christmas,
Christmas Day.
Welcome, Welcome
Fah who rah-moose
Welcome, Welcome
Dah who dah-moose
Christmas day is in our grasp
So long as we have hands to clasp
Fah who for-aze!
Dah who dor-aze!
Welcome, welcome Christmas
Welcome, welcome Christmas
Day

Damn. Okay I miss Ergo.
Oh yes, please
I do need another beer
*hands over a beer*
It's an Alexander Keiths, so it's stronger than what you drink.
Terry had such a proud moment earlier, I got a package in the mail, and there was some glittery paper in it. Annie said that it smelled like hops. The fact that she even knows what hops smell like, yeah, she's probably getting an extra Christmas present.
Hi Carrie
Thanks Amy. Get another ready. This one will be gone in a sec
Gotta go to bed, guys. Hope everyone is doing well.
Goodnight Carrie!
That's like the night we were having a few beers, and my friend and my father were arguing about the use of the word Ion. Both being a unit of measure, and the name of a car. They couldn't agree on.. .something (they were both drunk), so my Dad said "I'm going to ask the smartest person I know! Amy! What's an Ion?"
And I had been reading the paper, and I looked up and said "Well, among other things, it's a car, but.."
And Dad yells "THAT'S MY GIRL!!"
Hello Mayo, SS, Elena, Amy, Sweetcheeks, Carrie, Ergo (at a party)... everyone!
How are you all tonight? My throat is on fire again. It seems I received another defective throat. Santa was jipped! Well, at least he tried!
Ah, so that's what all those crashing sounds were. When do we get to start thowing all these beer bottles!?
Elena: I received my package today. Thank you, thank you, thank you! And, Sandy Ann said to tell Jake she loves her new "necklace"!!! Did Jake see the pictures of her frolicking in the snow? She would like to know what he thought.
;)
Amy: Whatcha doing? How's the mister doing?
Sweetcheeks: How are you? Did you have a good day?
Carrie: How's the job? Is your back still getting adjusted?
Ergo: I hope you're having a great time at the party!!!!
*smooooooch*
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

Hi PJ!
Wendy, drinkin beer and smashin stuff.
How about you?
Sounds like fun!!! Just pass a few of the empty bottles to me so I can join in the smashing. I would join in the drinking; but, it hurts to swallow!
*pouts and sighs*
Try swallowing some chamomile tea. As an added bonus, you'll sleep like a rock.
Hey Wendy
Seriously throw something, it feels so good
For Elena and Jake
I told her she looks good in white!
;)
Ooooh. Bippy Dog!
Amy and Elena: Can one of you drink a liter of beer! I feel like smashing something big! Ohh... let's order a pitcher of draft!
I'm sorry if I was gone guys. The Mayor IM'ed me so we're in the midst of talking. He's so freaking funny I swear :D
Goodnight carrie, sweet dreams. Hi there sugarplum, how are you? *runs and smothers with sloppy kisses and hugs*
She's a big girl, ain't she Amy! But, she's such a sweetheart!
Hi sweetcheeks!!!! Thank you!
*returns sloppy kisses and hugs*
Watch out for my germs!
What's the mayor doing tonight? Is he being naughty again? GOOD!
;)
Wendy, draft usually comes in a plastic pitcher now.
We could order a tray-full of shooters.
Jake said his gal is lookin' good.
Don't worry Wendy I'll drink your drinks for you. It's a tough job but I'll do it just of you.
He's been posting these really funny pictures from his photobucket sugarplum. I was laughing so hard XD
We can make a special request for a glass pitcher Amy!
Are you wearing your short skirt and prepared to do that stipper move I taught you?
;)
Oh heck, I don't feel well enough for all that work. Let's just order the tray of shooters!
elena said...
Jake said his gal is lookin' good.
Don't worry Wendy I'll drink your drinks for you. It's a tough job but I'll do it just of you.
Sandy Ann is wagging her tail a mile a minute now!
Awwww......you would do that for me? Thank you, Elena!
*sniff sniff*
I wuv you!!!!
:D
Sweetcheeks: He didn't post any of those "naked and drunk in bar" pictures, did he?!
O_O
Psst....if he did, I would like to see them! Shhhh!
;)
*yawns and wobbles a bit*
Okay, I'm going to be a twat and bow out. Mister crashed an hour ago on the couch, and I still have to finish my beer.
'Til tomorrow, Lovelies, Mayo and SS!
Goodnight!
Night Amy
Glad you were here. Thanks
Goodnight and sweet dreams Amykins.
Hahahaha, no sugarplum. These are pictures of various pop culture stuff that's been edited :D
Good night Amy!!! Sweet dreams to you and the mister!
Do you BELIEVE in Santa Claus? DO YOU BELIEEEVE in Santa Claus
Don't just sit there. Answer the boss!
;)
I better go lug my luggage out of the attic. I think it's up there and not in the garage...
Guess I'll find out soon!
Goodnight Sweetcheeks! Have fun with the mayor!
Goodnight Elena! Drink and smash the next TWO for me, please!
Goodnight Mayo, SS, anons, watchers and lurkers! Sweet dreams to one and all!
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~
6/Wendy
Thanks sugarplum. Goodnight and sweet dreams to you *blows kisses*
Oh, Elena. I can't leave now. I also can't answer that question for you. :(
*hugs*
I can (and have) answered it for myself. I follow the "three strikes you're out" rule when it comes to things like you're going through. I think I was (and am) generous with that one! And, I know you have allowed a lot more strikes than I ever could.
I'm so sorry, Elena. You really, REALLY deserve to be treated so much better. You're a successful business woman. You're a great friend. You're a good mother (no matter what anyone else says). You're kind, wise and fun!
I'm hoping he'll learn what a wonderful, smart, beautiful woman he has before you decide it IS enough...
*another huge hug*
I love ya, Elena!
You too sweetcheeks!
Oooops.... I see you deleted your comment. Would you like me to delete my (sort of) answer?
I'll check back, to see if you want it deleted, in about 30 minutes!
Goodnight, again, all!
It doesn't matter Windy. Really nothing matters. At least not right now. I'm allowing myself a good cry and hey, I think I deserve it. I'm tired. Plain and simple I'm tired of never doing anything that's good enough. Every fucking thing that is wrong is my fault. Shit, I must be really something to be able to cause all that. I try and I try and I try and it's never good enough. Fuck, I don't know what to do, what to say, what to think. I just know I'm tired. Tomorrow will be better, right? I always tell myself that so I guess one day I'll be right. Thank you for caring. Thank you for being there. Now I'm gonna go have another drink and just stop thinking. Cause I'm tired.
and one more thing - he really is a good man. He's just so lost and I can't seem to help him find his way back. That is the saddest part.
Oh, elena, you didn't have to erase that. If you have problems, you can always come to us *hugs*
And I agree with Wendy. You are a wonderful person
Thank you BC
I'll be fine. I just fall down sometimes but I'll pick myself up.
I have to. Not so much for me but for my girls. They are what's important.
Goodnight
hi elena BC
elena though I don't know exactly what you asked, I agree with what wendy said about you but I know you really believe in him and that is what love is right? But you have to care for yourself too.
And it isn't all your fault, there is a problem there that doesn't involve you, so please don't take that stuff said to heart
btw the party was good, it was an 8th, though as we drove there, it was pouring rain, lighnon , I could barely see the road (and on a single lane windy country road that's not good) and the only reason we kept going was thier place was closer than turning around. My hands were shaking like you wouldn't believe, adn I was gripping the steering wheel with white knuckles,
honest we got there and I was shaking like a leaf!! And got wet running into the house, BUT a cup of coffee and it eased off, the kids got to swim and had games food and it was a good afternoon talking to her mum and dad.
It's clear now but still rumbles about
EEEEEP!!!! I have a mouse (probably more than one ~ ya'll know they're almost as bad as rabbits) in my attic!!!!! Did I see the little rodent? No. I saw the little rodent's little poops. YUK!!!
Oh noooooo....
Now I have bait my mice cubes (with peanut butter on a cracker) and climb back into that cold, dark attic. Then, I'll have to climb into said attic everyday to see if I caught the mice....
and then, climb back down and set them free...
It's not easy climbing down that ladder while holding a mouse cube with a nervous little one inside!
*sighs*
Oh well!
ELENA: There's nothing wrong with having a good, long, hard cry. Sometimes, you just have to.
I'm going to send you an e~mail.
*huge hug again*
And, a final goodnight (for tonight) to everyone!
Take care Elena *hugs* Goodnight.
Hi there Ergo. How was the party? Wendy, ewww!!! X_X
*runs back in ONCE more*
Really, this is it (for tonight). I promise!
Ergo!!!!!! How was the party? Did you do some dancing for me?
;) and *smoooooooooch*
Goodnight and sweet dreams to you!
Mayo
Shit, I can't talk tonight. I just can't. Take care.
Night Mayo
Elena
no dancing wendy, a few squealing little girls and a lot of splashing though
and *smooooooch*
hope you catch the mouse, and your throat feels better soon
Hi there Ergo.
Yep, I'm still here. Still talking to the dude. Can you believe it? And it's 4:19 am here ^_^
Alright, so I'm off to bed. Goodnight Ergo, anyone else about.
goodnight BC sweet dreams
and to elena and wendy
Mayo
well I had an eventful afternoon, have I ever mentioned I'm afraid of lightning? Not so much if I'm indoors, it's actually quite fascinating, but out driving? NOT GOOD!! When we got to the house my hands were shaking do much, I mean not just a quiver, really shaking!! (Even I couldn't believe it, and they were my hands!) I really really hate being out in a storm. It wasn't bad when we left our house, but it got bad really quickly. But all was ok and we had a nice afternoon,...after I calmed down!
Wishing you freedom from things you fear, and if you have to face them, courage and fortitude....until you can get somewhere safe, then you can fall apart a little.
much love EP xx
SS
are you afraid of something? Mine are large spiders and lightning. I think they are both reasonable fears, I mean they could hurt you, and though I may overreact a teeny little iddy biddy bit I think it's justified. Don't you agree? And at least I am not paralysed with fear, I have been able to overcome that degree but it still sneaks up, just something you have to learn to overcome when you have to.
Sending you the strength and courage to overcome anything you find standing in your way, no matter how scary...or at least someone to rescue you from big spiders and comfort you in storms (or your equivalent situations)
lotsa love EP xx
goodnight blogbelieve, see you in my morning
♥xx♥
Mayo,
P to the 4th Power all the way, dude!
Pinch, Poke, Punch, & Provoke!
I miss Mustard and the big plans we had for our no name band! The songs we never wrote, the tour we never booked.
Ahh well....I know she's somewhere bobbin' her head to the music and that makes me smile.
Have a rockin' Sunday!
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. It was a damn good name, I swear.
And to everyone....
I had the craziest dream last night and some of you were in it. I can't remember the whole thing, but it featured Solly, Smoke, Fimble and Cupcake!
First, I was in Disneyworld with all of my cousins. Not every last one (I have 50+ of them,) but most of the ones that I actually know. My cousin Celia was there and she was still 12 (usually when I dream about her, she's 12, even though she is in fact 33.) I was trying to fit them all into a room and I was trying to divide up the space and the beds so that everyone would be comfortable and have enough space. I kept having this nagging fear that one of them would start to feel unwelcomed or that they weren't supposed to be along and I had to hurry and get everyone situated before the lights went out. There was this cot that was more like a hammock and I was trying to put it together. All of a sudden Beautiful Boy from Kung Fu was there and he was helping me put the cot together. Then he started doing a Hula on the balcony. Then the lights went out and I guess it became the next day.
So, Solly, Smoke and Fim and I were going to meet up at a theme park again and ride on these insane roller coasters. They were huge, unlike anything you'd see in real life and probably physically impossible. It was a hot, sunny day and I was waiting for them to show up. Fim was flying in and Smoke and Solly were driving. I remember looking at my watch and it was 2 PM. Then I took a nap. It's so weird when you sleep in your dreams. WTF does that even mean?
When I woke up, the three of them were there and we decided to get some pretzels (??) and take them on the roller coaster. We got on line, but then we ended up having to climb the scaffolding to get the rest of the way up. (Oddly enough I dreamed this once before, about having to climb all this scaffolding to get on a roller coaster.) We finally got on it and it ended up being a water ride. At the end, the cars turned upside down and dumped us all out into this pool.
I was pissed. We walked out of the part and we went to my Mom's house. We were sitting in her kitchen when I looked out of the window and saw that there was water rising everywhere outside. That's when Cupcake showed up.
Everyone ran out onto the street as it kept filling up with water. There were dry pockets here and there and you could float to them. There was this guy there who seemed a little like Anthony Head, you know that guy who played Giles on Buffy? It wasn't him but was sort of like him. Solly and Smoke were going, "Oh my god, could that be Mayo?" I turned to look at them to see if they were serious, and all of a sudden Fimble was really little and blonde like Smoke, Solly was super tall with blonde hair, and Smoke had short curly hair. That's when Cupcake showed up. She told us that the Giles guy was locked in some kind of bubble or force field and he was going to suffocate in there. I told her that if he came out of it, then he would drown. Cupcake said, "But which would be better? At least if we get him out of there we can try to save him."
So everyone started swimming to his bubble, but then I realized that I could pretend like I was some kind of siren of the sea and lure him out. All of a sudden I was really pretty. I started to sing and dance and before I knew it, the Giles guy was leaving his bubble and walking over to me. Before he could get to me, he started to drown in a puddle. The rest of the street was filling up but where we were it was just puddles, and Giles was drowning in one that was only about two inches deep. Solly pulled him out and he went stumbling over to me and I caught him.
Alas, he was a zombie. We all realized that it was the air-tight bubble that was keeping him fresh and the salt water was making him rot. Then he got really waterlogged and heavy and the water was rising and I couldn't hold him above it anymore. Eventually we put him back into his bubble, but he was a little worse for the wear. (I think the bubble thing was because I was watchign Family Guy last night and Stewie was in a bubble. And I think the guy was British like Anthony Head because I also watched Hugh Laurie on SNL for a while.)
Then my Mom called on my Blackberry and said we could all come up for grilled cheese sandwiches once we were done with the whole flood thing.
That's when I woke up!
Hold up, Ergoproxy was there, too. Also tiny and with tight blonde curls, trying to get the guy out of the bubble.
Hey, mean fashion anons:
My new sweater!
Couldn't you just DIE?
Don't you just hate it?
:D
Jules,
Your dreams are pure craziness!
Mayo,
Shake it like a polaroid!
good morning
wow what a dream
and TJ update:
What a day: snow & a total stranger telling me I'm beautiful & he wouldn't mind seeing me at the brkfst table for the nxt 50 yrs, wtflol! about 3 hours ago from txt
Hello!
I just wanted to drop in and thank the wonderful ELENA for my beautiful Christmas card she sent me! It is so cute and definitely cheered me up!
Ergo! Wow! Sounds like you definitely have an admirer there!
Kapunua, I like the sweater!
Wendy, you have a mouse, or mouses? EEK! is right! Maybe I should send you one of my cats!
Gotta go watch a good ol' Christmas movie with my child! I'll peep in again later!
Take Care!
hi Mya!!
that's Tj with the admirer, lucky thing!
have a good time with the movie
Mya
Glad the card brought you some cheer. Showed the dancing elf video to my mom and she thinks it's just the cutest thing she's ever seen.
elena hello!!
I may have your parcel, got a note from the PO but can't get down there for while yet, so it's a mystery.....
Hey Ergo
I guess it could be, hope so. Now don't forget you can't open the wrapped presents until Christmas Eve.
I promise.......I already have gifts from my parents I am trying very hard to leave alone!
Okay, I'm trusting you on this one.
Damn it's cold here. Down to 12 already
Mayo,
You gotta lose yourself in the music, the moment, you own it, you better never let it go. HO!
Or sumfin' like dat.
Like dis-like dat-like dis and uh....
What? You know you've watched 8 Mile and Snoop Dogg's Fatherhood! :)
Hello errbody!
Jules,
I ♥ you, your dreams and your stipey sweaters.
Just sayin'.
Stipey?
I swear to God it said stripey when I hit publish! WTF?
SS,
Say it ain't soooooo!!! Your drug is a heartbreaker! Say it ain't sooooooo!!! My love is a life taker!
Okay, so we've been playing Rock Band. Can ya tell? :)
Nothing like hearing an eight year old sing Gimme Shelter and hit the high notes, all the while repeatedly calling it Jimmy Shelter. He's quite the little showman. Bwah! ^_^
Hope you are doing okay and have had a lovely weekend! By the way, where the eff did the weekend go?
GRRRR!!!
hi Smoke
well Michael Stipe does wear stripey sweaters at times
True! Hahaha!
Stipey!
I got my Orange Crush.
Just sayin'.....
Does my sister rule or what?
What?
Don't say that!
She does so rule!
I know because we both rule our own little private umm, Idaho?
Hi Guys! Whoop! Whoop!
Know what else rules?
Double-spacing!
Hey Sisters
Good to see both of you. Rock Band rules!
I love the drums
Wanna know what else rules?
The fact that I'm the only one who can sing Jet's "Are You Gonna Be My Girl?" and Smashing Pumpkins' "Cherub Rock".
You get all the rest. Those, I can do. :)
Hee-hee.
Elena,
Do you play the drums? I bow down at your awesomeness. I am just the lowly singer because I am totally incapable of doing anything else.
Smoke,
Know what else rules? Making up your own words to songs!
Hey Elena! I can't do drums. No way!
I've never played but it looks like fun
Good evening/night/morning/afternoon Mayo, SS, Ergo, Elena, Sweetcheeks, Smoke.... everyone!
Did you all have a good day? I hope so!
Mya: Yep and EEEP (indeed)! I checked my mice (or mouses) cubes this afternoon. No nervous little one(s), running around inside, yet! Where the heck is that little bugger?
I added more peanut butter. That should tempt 'em!
Elena: Are you feeling better today? Is today better? Did you get that "you know what" I told you about?
;)
Sweetcheeks: Whatcha doing? Did you enjoy your Sunday? Boy, the mayor sure keeps you up late chatting! Good job!
Ergo: I'm glad to hear you had such a nice time at the party! Sorry to hear you had to drive through such a horrible storm. I don't like driving in storms either! It's not the lightning that bothers me. It's the fact that the wind shield whipers just don't go fast enough (so you can actually SEE where you're going)!
Mya: What movie are you and Lauren watching?
I know this is very late today; but, I think these lyrics are absolutely pondering worthy:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What a day to ride away
Had to find the reason for my loss of yesterday
But I still don’t know why I sink so low
Giving birth to worries, asking where we’re gonna go
Guess I’ll never know
Feel the skies anesthetize and wash my fears away
I believe that when we leave, we face another day
Losing memories, childhood slips away
Demons here in the dark, and they say,
“Have you ever known the fears of a madman?
Watch us live, watch us die in the same plan?
Did you really think there was another place for your soul?
Have you ever seen the stare of a dead man?
Taste the salt in the tears of a sad man?
Will you have the strength when you go to the show?
Then I saw a sign near the corners of my mind
In the fields of yesterday
Looking back it’s been so long
My burning passion keeps my hunger going strong
But, I still can’t see something’s stopping me
From the lake of knowledge I thirst for desperately
Just to drink of easily
When you sleep your demons come, and scare your dreams away
Bringing thoughts of mortal men in rooms where angels play
Let me taste of secrets unrevealed
Battlefield for a soul they came to steal
Will you ever put an end to the bad man?
Eat him up, spit him out, like I know you can
Let him know I’m never giving in or losing control
Saw you counting every star in the night sky
Came to join you cuzI see with you eye to eye
Gets so lonely when the answers won’t obey when they’re told
I saw the light piercing through my fading sight
In the fields of yesterday
When I close my eyes to sleep, I’m blind
The ghost of all my years appears to be unkind
The poison of my tears
Nothing, something, life creating
Thinking, fearing, dedicating
Worlds colliding, hating, fighting
Sex and pleasure, so inviting
Reproducing, learning, crying
Generations passing by
The blinking of a careless eye
Religious zealots pray to die
With lying, cheating, hurting, killing
Try to keep your life fulfilling
Gasping, save your final breath
A futile try to conquer death
You put your life in order, cry for the truth
And then you die
Feel a certain peace I never knew
Leave them all behind
I’m gone now
Goodbye, cruel world
Let me sleep forever in your bliss
Fading, I remain answerless
Have you ever known the fears of a madman?
Will you ever put an end to the bad man?
Will you have the strength to fight him
When you go to the show?
Then I saw a sign near the corners of mind
In the fields of yesterday
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aren't those beautiful, wonderful, inspired and ponder worthy lyrics?! I think they are!
The song is entitled
"Fields of Yesterday"
The band: LILLIAN AXE
Yes, I'm on an AXE kick ~ again!
Have a great night (or whatever it is, wherever you are), everyone!
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

Hi PJ, J, L, TJ, SIM, DG, AG, and P anon!
It is sooo much fun! And LHM is getting Guitar Hero World Tour for Christmas thanks to his Auntie Solly! YAY!
Ergo,
It really is!
Nachos or no nachos?
Hmmmm....
Hi Wendy!
Ooops.... Hi Sdock! You entered while I was typing. How are ya?
Okay, I have to run....
A dusty piano awaits!
*blows kisses*
See ya'll later!
Nachos!!!
And
Here
We
Go!
Hi Wendy, Byeeee Wendy!
I hope you catch the little mouser!
*shudders and twitches*
I can't stand 'em!
Snapdragons!
Oh hell yes I play the drums. That is my favorite. Love to get in touch with my inner Bob.
Hey Wendy - check your cell. You can hear my weird voice.
Mayo!
Guess what!
I've got a new blanket and it's the softest blanket and it's the bestest blanket and you don't got one.
*sticks tongue out at Mayo*
I bet you want my blanket now, don't ya? Well, too bad. ^_^
Just playin!
It a choice, Wesley, that each of us must face: to remain ordinary, pathetic, beat-down, coasting through a miserable existence, like sheep herded by fate - or you can take control of your own destiny and join us, releasing the caged wolf you have inside. Our purpose is to maintain stability in an unstable world - kill one, save a thousand. Within the fabric of this world, every life hangs by a thread. We are that thread - a fraternity of assassins with the weapons of fate. This is the decision that lies before you now: the sheep, or the wolf. The choice is yours.
2 more Christmas Cards to go!!
You know there are people, beautiful people, you just wish they could see you in a different setting, a different place. Instead of where you are, what you've become. But most of all, you wish you weren't such a pussy, for wishing for things that'll never change.
Elena,
What level are you? Can you expert it out?
Wesley,
I ♥ you. And I'm just a tad bit jealous that you got to kiss Angelina Jolie.
Love doesn't exist, that's what I'm trying to tell you guys. And I'm not picking on love, 'cause I don't think friendship exists either.
sdock
Here is where I'm so weird about the whole thing. I play on the easiest level. I can get 98% every damn time but I want to get 100% so I never change. I should move up to the next level but damn it I want 100%
Damn, Elena! You go with your bad self!
I have absolutely no rhythm whatsoever. None.
I do okay on guitar but yeah. I suck.
elena,
We're totally on easy too! Like I said, I'm the singer which has got to be the easiest job in the whole band and I've started moving up to the harder levels. I've gotten 100% a couple of times, but I'm not even sure what that means. I watched some youtube vids today of folks playing "Enter Sandman" on expert and I was just like this...
O_O
The drummer was getting something like 1033 note streak.
That's just craziness! Who can do that?
My husband was playing drums and the drumsticks just shredded. He's got them taped together! Bwahaha!
Oh now you guys made me want to go play Rock Band and I'm supposed to be doing my book orders.
Guess I know what I'm gonna be doing later tonight. LOL
Don't talk like one of them. You're not! Even if you'd like to be. To them, you're just a freak, like me! They need you right now, but when they don't, they'll cast you out, like a leper! You see, their morals, their code, it's a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to be. I'll show you. When the chips are down, these... these civilized people, they'll eat each other. See, I'm not a monster. I'm just ahead of the curve.
Elena,
I wish we could all play together! Oh what insanity that would be!!!
My motto: fuck Lotto, I'll get the seven digits from your mother for a dollar tomorrow.
I'z gonna take a shower! Be back later!
what are all the quotes for, they aren't really uplifting, hope no one is actually feeling that way
sdock
We would be a kick ass band, no doubt!
Hey I gotta go watch Survivor, back later
The quotes are funny to me, Ergo. I don't think you're supposed to take them serious.
Man, I'm just into Buddhism, and I'm at peace with the fact that me, as this person, probably gonna not be around. Think about a hermit crab, okay? And it's a shell. It's like, they go from one shell to the next. And that's what I am. I'm just a hermit crab changin' shells.
Hee-hee.
Maybe something will happen that can never unhappen, that scares you, doesn't it? But you need to think about it now, really take it in. Look at you, you think you've got it so damn hard. Well you hate being alone so let people in. Sure you might not answer the phone, but I don't see you throwing it away either!
I'm doing something that I haven't done in awhile. I'm going back and reading myself from a year ago. It's weird to see. It's kind of painful like I'm watching another person, but not really. I dunno.
Except if you're a dick your whole life, your next shell will be made of shit, okay? If you're an asshole, you're gonna come back as a cockroach or a worm or a fuckin' anal bead, okay? If you're a man and you act heroic, you'll come back as an eagle. You'll come back as a dragon. You'll come back as Jude Law, okay? Which would you rather be?
So, you saying you got the motts?
Ha.
A good son would have known.
Can you get that for yourself?
No one lives in the slums because they want to. It's like this train. It can't go anywhere except where its rails take it.
You're not getting this back. I consider it asshole tax.
I think so, Solly. I think so.
Well, because it's a past self. Not you in the present. I think it's possible. Yeah.
Something bothers me. I think it's your way of life. You don't get paid. You don't get praised. Yet, you still risk your lives and continue on your journey. Seeing that makes me... it just makes me think about my life.
I don't give a rat's ass whether it's science or magical power. No, I guess if I had to choose, I'd rather put my money on the power of science. Humans who used to only roam around on the ground are able to fly now! And finally, we're about to go into outer space. Science is a "Power" created and developed by humans. And science just might be what saves this planet. I was able to earn my living thanks to science. So to me, there's nothing greater!
Hitting bottom isn't a weekend retreat. It's not a goddamn seminar. Stop trying to control everything and just let go! LET GO!
I'm really some kind of lame emo manic intense dramtic.
I was frozen in time, but now I feel as if my time is just beginning.
I don't care what you are doing, so much as the idiotic way that you are doing it.
Mayo, If this new post refers to you or not I dont know but its worth listening to anyway.
What to give someone something who has everything? If you are close to that person, give yourself. Your time. You can give a "handmade giftcard" for anything at all. A backrub, a footrub an anything rub...lol
You can give an afternoon and do whatever that person wants to do. See thier favorite movie. Play a game they want to play. Draw or paint a picture. Write them a heartfelt note. It will be appreciated more than you'll ever know.
You see you can "give" many things that are not store bought or cost money. Give yourself. Give love, your love and heart selflessly. :)
Stuff, as in material posessions can be tossed aside if not given from the heart.
Gah! I'm getting mushy as I age. With age comes wisdom, we hope. lol. It's all good though if it's done with sincerity.
Later.
It hurts doesn't it? Your hopes dashed, your dreams down the toilet. And your fate is sitting right besides you.
Go away. Looking at you is making me sober.
And don't talk to me, either.
Not to be rude or anything, but could you go do someone else?
Listen, here's the thing. If you can't spot the sucker in the first half hour at the table, then you ARE the sucker.
My favorite inspirational quote is this:
"We want to make our future like this. However hard it may be, we want to live these lives!"
And I still can't believe that even the most ingenious child has not deciphered that Christmas is when all the new toys are released, and all the toys go on sale. Huh, I wonder why?
Part of the magic of Christmas I suppose.
Your time is up! I've sent my right hand to kill you!
Your right hand comes off?
You're growing up. And rain sort of remains on the branches of a tree that will someday rule the Earth. And it's good that there is rain. It clears the month of your sorry rainbow expressions, and it clears the streets of the silent armies... so we can dance.
I'm going platinum!
Selling rhymes?
Are you going platinum 7 times?
Are you sure we should be driving like this, I mean in broad daylight and everything?
No we shouldn't, but I want to put some distance between us and the scene of our last goddamn crime.
Ha! He just ran in the living room and screamed it. Like, outta nowhere.
I'm going platinum!
Circumstances have taught me that a man's ethics are the only possessions he will take beyond the grave.
My meffin' Santa Claus blanket RULES! I just can't stop talking about it.
Not as much as my "Ho ho ho" blanket!
AIM anyone?
I got a few mins before bedtime.
I do not see plays, because I can nap at home for free. And I don't see movies 'cause they're trash, and they got nothin' but naked people in 'em! And I don't read books, 'cause if they're any good, they're gonna make 'em into a miniseries.
I've got a brand new pair of roller skates.
You got a brand new key.
HI Bi hi Amy
I lost power for about an hour then
Nighty-night, Mayo! Nighty-night, SS!
Night errbody! Sweet dreams!
Hallo Ergo! I was wondering where you'd run off to.
Stupid aphids.
goodnight smoke sweet dreams
Mayo,
How are you? Did you rock out and shake it like a polaroid? I did! Well, maybe, yeah, I totally did.
Then, I came back here and decided to travel back in time one year ago and take a look back at myself. One fucking year, dude. Where did it go? I know, I know, time spent, not wasted, but still. And I guess what bothers me most is that there still seems to be something that I'm not getting. Am I seriously that dense? I read me and I can feel exactly what I was feeling at that moment. I can remember where I was before I came home, the frustration, the anxiety, the unhappiness, and maybe even some anger mixed with a little instability.
Ok, so before I go into your post, let me again remind you that I am a little outside or inside my head tonight. So forgive me if I get my thoughts on my life confused with my thoughts on your life or your thoughts on your life or my thoughts on someone else's life. My mind is tricky like that...relate much? No, probably not. Fuck, sdock10, just get on with it.
And this part...
Burying the hatchet...sounds nice, but keep a spare one handy just in case and be careful not to turn your back too often. You might end up with the hatchet buried in your back.
This was the night that you said you had come to rely on us.
I don't think at that time any of us had any sort of idea how much this place would come to mean to all of us. Could we have even imagined all the changes this space would bring to our lives? Nope, I don't think we could've.
So, even though my stroll down memory lane was an uncomfortable one tonight. And even though I was reminded that I still have things in my life to work on, things left to change, I was also reminded of the memories I have made here and I wouldn't trade those for anything. When it comes to this place, I wouldn't change a thing.
Thanks, Mayo. A year ago, I didn't like the reflection in the mirror. A funny thing happened yesterday, I looked at her, and she wasn't so bad.
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. She sorta smiled back at me.
(Fuck, write a novel much?)
goodnight sock sweet dreams
Is there anybody in here?
...ere

I'm coming and going........
I'm heading down to the post office in a few, then I'll be back
I hope the post office didn't eat Ergo.

Hallo amy, elena, and ergo :)

Hi Amy and BC

*itchy fingers*
No, bad Ergo...
*eye contact*
No opening gifts until Christmas Eve
Are you enjoying the song now?

*raises her hand*
I have no qualms about opening Ergo's gifts before Christmas!
thanks for the offer amy :]
AMY
*eye contact*
NOOOOOOOOOO you can not open those gifts and don't encourage Ergo to be bad.
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true, baby all I want for christmas is you
I don't want a lot for Christmas there is just one thing I need
And I don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking, way above the fireplace
Santa Clause won't make me happy with a toy on christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for christmas is you, babe baby.
I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow (oh I wont even wish for snow)
I'm just gonna keep on waiting underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it, to the North Pole for St.Nick
Won't even stay awake to hear the magic reindeer play
Cause I just want you here tonight
Holdin' on to me so tight
What more can I do?
Oh baby all I want for christmas is you, oh baby
Oh how the lights are shining surrounding everywhere (surrounding everywhere)
Where the sounds of children's laughter fills the air
And everyone is singin'
Oh I hear those sleigh bells ringin'
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
Won't you bring back my baby to me?
I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm askin for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
Is you, you,
All I want is you
All I want is you
All I want is you
All I want is you
You, you, you, you, you, you, you...
and for your viewing pleasure so you can all sing along-

Elena, I don't need to encourage Ergo to be bad!
Or anyone for that matter!
Agh. I'm going to tromp off to bed, I can't even stay warm anymore.
I'll see you tomorrow Lovelies! Goodnight Mayo and SS!
-A
Night Amy
Hope you get warm. Think happy, warm thoughs.
Hey Anon
*comes in singing*
"Why don't you make your dreams come true, I'll show you how
Here's what you do.... YOU...."
Show a little love!
*still on a Lillian Axe kick*
Hello Mayo, SS, Ergo, Elena, Amy!!!!, Sweetcheeks, everyone!
How ya'll doing tonight? Good, I hope!
Ergo: Open them, open them, open them!!!!!!!!! Or, at least take a tiny little peek!
*smooooooooooch*
"Wanted" quote posting person: I assure you, my peanut butter was NOT laced with plastic explosives! I don't want to blow up anyone! I certainly don't want to use poor, little, innocent mouses as weapons!
Elena: My battery was dead. I'm so sorry I missed your call. I'm charging the darn thing now! I sure your voice is just as beautiful as the rest of you!
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

PS:
Time and time again I need reminding of where I've been
^DEEPFREEZE^
Poop! I show up just as Amy is going to bed. :(
Goodnight Amy! Sweet dreams to you, the mister and King Lear!
*blows night night kisses*
goodnight and sweet dreams Amy
thanks Anon, I always liked the song and the mcr version is great
hi wendy! *smoooooch*
Hey Wendy
I love you voice, by the way.
It's so weird to put a voice to the words.
Hi Ergo!!!
*smoooooooooch back*
Sorry it took so long. I was head bangin' and wishing I were at "Fat Catz" on Bourbon Street, right about now.
;)
Hi Elena!!!
*a smoooooooooooch for you too and a lick for Jake*
Do ya like my southern twang? Haha!
I can't wait to hear your voice! As soon as my battery is charged. Darn thing is taking forever!
How are you feeling tonight? Glen and I are doing GRRRReat!
;)
I'm okay tonight. Sorta mello right now. Trying to get all my work done so I can snuggle up on my sofa with the kittens.
sounds like a good plan elena
And when you feel you're on you're own, well just believe you're not alone and you'll feel the warmth that we shared years ago
I need a hanky now!
Awwww.....snuggling with my little Noel is better than a hanky. She's a little Christmas kitty that was locked in my neighbor's tool shed! I had to call my neighbor's grass cutter/lawn maintenance man to get her out.....
She ran right to me after being let out of that cold, dark, tool shed! She knew I was her mom....
*damn hormones (and memories)!!!!*
kitty snuggles are pretty great
oh and elena I am really looking forward to trying the "insta-snow" that is the best thing!!
it says you can even freeze it to make faux snowmen!!
Oh a Christmas kitty. So sweet!
Ergo...I wanted you to have snow for the holiday
that is the perfect way elena! I had no idea something like that even existed
I'll let you now what it's like, I won't do it until hubby is home
Elena: I had snow for ya this year! Of course, the last time we had snow (on Christmas day, at that) we also had the worst hurricane in the history of America!
I'm hoping that doesn't happen this year!
Okay, I better go. Glen and I are not doing very well with all this reminiscing tonight. Oh well, it happens ~ especially around the holidays, right?!
Goodnight Elena, Ergo, Mayo, SS, everyone.
Sweet dreams to one and all!
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

goodnight wendy *sweet dream smoooooch*
TJ update:
Curled up tight against the cold, almost asleep, suddenly wanted to say: Good night friends, good night M-sama. I miss you. Sweet dreams. 18 minutes ago from txt
I totally understand Wendy. Take care and hopefully we'll talk soon.
Mayo
Okay please ignore last night’s incident. It was just the total day crashing down and I hate when that happens. I mean I was trying really hard to be all calm but shit you know sometimes that just ain’t possible. The day was spent Christmas shopping which is stressful enough. I did very well only inserting one wrong line in a holiday song… it’s the most crappy time of the year But then I stopped and sang the correct words. So after spending hours fighting crowds picking out gifts that no doubt will be the wrong size, color, style (I’m buying for my teens don’t forget) I got stuck in traffic and my car overheated. Well that was fun. I realized I must need anti-freeze so I made it to a Quick Trip and bought some. Then in the gale force winds I attempted to pour the shit from the container into a hole that was for all intensive purposes made to be unreachable (who the hell designs engines, a sick fuck, that’s who). On top of all that I had some guy walk over and ask if I needed help. Okay I’m probably looking at this wrong. He probably was just being nice but it made me think that I must look helpless. If there’s one thing I don’t want to look it’s helpless. But I smiled and told him I had it under control. Why am I explaining all this? I suppose to illustrate how the day was going. So fixed the car, got the gifts, got home after dark and had to unload said gifts. Then I had to clean up after Flighty who had left a stereo complete with speakers in my bathroom. Seriously she had set up a whole stereo in there. After that I made dinner. Then it really went downhill. Not gonna explain that but let’s just say I wasn’t in the mood to hear that every fucking thing that is wrong in the world is my fault. Crap, I still sound a bit cranky, don’t I? Well yeah but at least today I’m back to just rolling my eyes and ignoring. So anyway, the point I was trying to make is I’m sorry about the drama.
So, how was yesterday for you? I hope it was better than mine. Hey, how about today? How was it? Mine was okay. I was a good daughter and drove my mom around. Found some good books and watched the end of Survivor. Not exciting but not bad. Well okay the blizzard outside isn’t really all that great. Gonna make feeding the dragon a bitch cause the storm doors are covered in snow. Whoops, slipping into whine mode again.
Tomorrow I’m sure the snow will look beautiful. I’ll just keep that thought in mind. I’ll also remember that tomorrow night I get to hear Sunshine sing a solo in the Holiday concert at the high school. Her first ever and I’m so happy she finally got up the nerve to do it. She has a wonderful voice but unfortunately takes after me and is afraid to use it. No, that sounded wrong. I don’t have a good voice I meant she tends to be shy about shit like that. Well okay then. I’ll stop now. You take care and Mayo…have you ever considered writing a Christmas story? I think you could really come up with a unique story. A story with the Mayo touch. What do you think? That I’m annoying with all my ideas? Yeah, that’s true. But you’re kinda used to that I’m sure.
Night Mayo
Elena (a twisted Christmas tale?)
Goodnight elena and sugarplum
Mayo

One eye in the sun, one in the night
Sleep tight, sleepwalk like honey, honey

Set it down and lost it
Set it down and lost it
Say it again...
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Your love is a deserter
Your love is a deserter

The other eye, as black as the devil

Oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh!
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh!
Crossed wires, sparking a little
Start a house fire with us in the middle
It's alright!
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh!
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh!
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Get the guns out, get the guns out

Hiya Mayo, great post.
Hiya everyone else, how are you?
It was great to see fimmy back, her story about being mugged by old biddies in woolworths was classic.
Thanks for making me a star Mya. That elf yourself is hilarious.
So sorry to hear your news CC. I'm thinking about you sweetie.
My thoughts go out to another blogger. Such awful news at this time of year. You know who you are.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PIXIE!
I hope you have a great one.

My Grown Up Christmas Wish
Do you remember me
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you
With childhood fantasies
Well, I'm all grown up now
And still need help somehow
I'm not a child
But my heart still can dream
So here's my lifelong wish
My grown up Christmas list
Not for myself
But for a world in need
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
and wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown up Christmas list
As children we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely
Wrapped beneath our tree
Well heaven only knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal
A hurting human soul
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown up christmas list
What is this illusion called the innocence of youth
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth
(there'd be)
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end, oh
This is my grown up Christmas list
This is my grown up Christmas list
Hi Mya and MissT
Hello Mayo
It's freezing here. Yeah, it's 4 and we're looking for a high of 12 today. The front window of the store is covered with ice. Holy crap, come on warm thoughts.
Heat wave alert
It's now 9. Yeah, it's warming up!
Boo
Boo who?
Holy crap, come on warm thoughts.
