Why are my fingers cold
When they trace the back
Of your neck and up under
Your hair? It is smooth and pitch
And I wish it were my own
To push behind my ears
Before falling over your eyes.
Willing, asking it to stay.
Where it stayed...
Your shoulder now holds the ends
Fresh from washing, shiny and wet.
I rest my palm there then drift
Down your arm to your elbow,
And pull you into me. To find a way
To warm my hands that you find
Already warm and willing to stay.
Moonlit Night
Tu Fu
Translated by David Hinton
Tonight at Fu-chou, this moon she watches
Alone in our room. And my little, far off
Children, too young to understand what keeps me
Away, or even remember Ch'ang-an. By now,
Her hair will be mist scented, her jade-white
Arms chilled in its clear light. When
Will it find us together again, drapes drawn
Open, light traced where it dries our tears?

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.

Gosh, where did the weekend go?
But you have tomorrow off, right?
SC, awesome to read you around here!
Jules, we don't have a holiday tomorrow.
And totally random here, but I just set off my Mom's house alarm by sneezing.
O_O
I'm waiting for the cops to show.
Nah, maybe not. She cancelled it our pretty quick. I mean, once she got over be scared shitless.
And on another random note, not sure how I feel about the show, Confessions of a Teen Idol.
And totally random here, but I just set off my Mom's house alarm by sneezing.
LMAO!
We heard it go off! Bwahahaha!
I wish I had tomorrow off! Wahahaa!
I feel bad for those guys on that show. It's kind of sad. Especially Jeremy. He's got some issues. He's a good lookin' guy and I'm sure he's talented but gosh, he's got some screws loose. O_o
I ♥ Eric.
No holiday? WTF? Even I am off from school. O_o
you set the alarm off by sneezing? That's actually pretty awesome.
Hahaha! Ain't it?
LHM is out of school but we have to work. Boooo!!!
I totally did. I sneezed and it went whoooo, wooo, wooooo, except like louder than that, kinda like a siren, kinda like if were supposed to run for cover.
I ♥ Billy.
Right now David Baywatch is so mad he could melt someone with his stare.
I hear a dog barking...WTF?
David Baywatch?
I'm having to listen to LHM squeal about WWE and bounce off the couch.
Bwahahaha!
Jeff Hardy has purple hair. It's kinda cool. Huh.
Jeff
He could be kind of cute.
Chokachi, Jules.
He used to be on Baywatch.
Ummm, sure, Smoke, I can sorta see it. His forehead looks like it's been split a time or twelve and he can definitely rock the nail polish.
OOoh 5 mins 'til ROL-Bus!
Awwwwww! I said kinda of!
Yep, almost time for Desperate Housewives! See you guys tomorrow!
Night, Mayo! ♥
Night, SS! ♥
Night everybody! ♥
Sweet dreams!
hello! back from shopping, and I called into our local thrift shop and they had a basket of new shoes for $2 a pair!!
I now have 3 :]
I am in the bargain zone at the moment!!
goodnight smoke sweet dreams
I have to go wash dishes :[ I would love a housekeeper, really I would!
LOL ERGO!
I should go bargain shopping with you sometime. Just hop a plane over.
Oh, I gotcha.
I'm not seeing the cuteness in that guy; he's not my type. As if I had a type. ;)
Hi ergo!
Well, I'm stuck in this damn video game 'cause I can't find the exit to this one building. WTF? I fail at maps.
Amy I loooove bargain shopping! And I have a few great places to look so if you ever visit, bring extra suitcases!!
lol wrong blog,
I am watching "It's me or the Dog" and this woman has the nastiest pomeranian I have ever seen
and it's her fault for spoiling the shit out of it!
d ??

well they fixed the relationship she'd created with the dog, thank goodness. Someone would have reported it and had it destroyed if they'd done nothing.

So something kind of a bummer happened in anatomy the other day. Like I said, I like this teacher; he's doing a great job and he's very inspiring. However, he teaches really SUPERFLY fast. It's a little hard to keep up with him sometimes, though he insists that he's going as slow as he possibly can.
I understand his frustration. I realize that this is basic cell biology, stuff that he's been teaching regularly for years, and to him it must seem very easy.
Well, on Saturday I mentioned that I got a 95 on his test. In fact I was the only one who passed it. (Actually come to think of it, I think someone in the class got a 72. However if you are in the medicine program [which I am,] you have to keep all your grades above 80.)
Well, after the test we moved onto the next lecture and he was going and going and going, and I was even struggling to keep up with what he was saying. (He hands out lecture notes, but I write them down anyway because writing is how I understand things. Reading along is not going to help me. However, I'm the only person in the class who writes notes as opposed to just reading his ones.)
Towards the end of his lecture, the girl at the lab table behind me threw down her notes in frustration and said, "All I want to do is massage people!"
The professor looked a little bit taken aback, as you can imagine, and he was like, "Well... I'm sorry, but all I want to do is teach this to you."
She felt bad for her outburst and she apologized, saying that she was just getting frustrated because she wasn't grasping this stuff as quickly as she wanted to.
I get that, I totally do. Sometimes my brain feels like a sponge and it seems to get full after about three hours of lecturing. And the second I walk out of the door, I couldn't even tell you WTF we were talking about. My brain is just not that strong. I actually have to go home, sit down, and look at the notes again to even remember which subject we were on.
So I get the frustration, I just felt bad for him and for her when she had that outburst.
The professor in that class calls us "the skeleton crew+--the logic behind that one, I don't know--but he says it's because we're the only ones left in the class, we're the ones who didn't ditch. The class started out with 33 people and now we are down to 12.
It makes me feel pretty good that the bunch of us got this far.
Anyway, that's just what's on my mind tonight.

I don't know who started it but I thank them for indulging me after I replied.
It is the wordy way of saying "Silicosis", or a lung disease caused by inhaling fine particles of silica dust.
Or, "owie..."
lithostratigraphy
blather
japanophilia
rinse
I thought it must be a disease and I saw the pneumo and silico bits, but the vulcano bit I thought might have meant inhaling volcanic gases
repeat
Ergo, if you did that, you probably wouldn't live long enough to be diagnosed.
Thanks for joining me in my Kapunua impersonation BC
good point amy!
I wanted to say rinse ^_~
So just now they were playing the Watchmen commercial.
Looks pretty good.
fortunately you're not around many volcanoes ergo :)
I can't even imagine living near a volcano. I'm glad we don't have any.
I keep seeing the posters and standees everywhere. I wanna see it, but I wanna read it first...
I only ever knew "of" Watchmen so I don't know if I'd see it
anon very glad I'm not!
Amy, yeah. The comic itself looks good though.
BC, the only panels I've ever seen from Watchmen are the ones where Dr Manhattan's wife wakes up after being molested by her husband's clones, and where Nite Owl and Rorschach catch up with Ozymandias just as he... oh wait. That'll ruin the book. Never mind.
blather rinse repeat, LOL!
Good one BC.
Amy, you better not ;p
Thanks anon.
Random thought here, but has anyone seen Home Improvement? I thought Mark was such a cutie as a little kid.
LOL BC I always used to watch that show
funny to think those kids are grown up now
It is Ergo. Pretty amazing. I think the actor who played mark is now married with a kid from what I read.
I'm sorry but WHY again is BC plus some anon making fun of Kapu now? What did she do to earn it this time?
I'm such a dork.
I just registered for the costume contest at the Comic Expo this year.
*silently squeals. Just a little*
OH cool!!
are you doing the Sailor Moon?
Making fun of who anon? I wasn't making fun of anyone. All I said was rinse, and some anon thought they'd think I was making fun of her.
I don't think Kap did anything but I also don't think that BC realizes or understands what's going on. I also don't think Kap would care one way or the other. Same old story here it looks like....
Yep! Me as Eternal Sailor Moon.
At 25.
I'm such a dork.
*beams*
Like I said, BC doesn't know what's going on. Some anon said "finally" when she left and then "blather blather" which was obviously a dig at her '(the porch)" and you said "rinse" .... everyone knows the name of her journal.... think of "the Fix".... Once again she did nothing to deserve it but whatever. She wasn't doing anything the rest of ya'll wasn't doing. Oh well.
it'll be fun!
I love costume stuff and it was looking good, I remember the pics you showed
I remember the blather rinse repeat thing but I wasn't saying rinse to make fun of anyone. I don't do that. 12:12, go back and read the comments.
Amy, so you are definitely planning on finishing the SM costume then? Awesome. You'll look great I bet
And don't be embarrassed, despite the age, I love Sailor moon too :D
I have read the comments and that's what it sounded like but like I said.... BC probably didn't know what was going on. Think about it.
BC, I was hoping to finish it last year. And the year before that... and I didn't.
But THIS YEAR! I'll do it THIS YEAR!
*pumps fist in the air*
when is the contest?
Amy, if you do finish it, post pics because I want to see it!
I read Shojo Beat, and some of the costumes featured there are really amazing. I know you can do it.
Ergo, the Expo is April 25th, at 4pm in the afternoon.
BC, I've seen some really good work at a lot of Cons. I hope I do well.
Anyway, I think I'm gonna run. I have to get up early in the AM to see a girl about a dress. It's going to be hard to keep the other two quiet... they're starting a band in the basement. O_O
Goodnight girls!
Good luck Amy. Goodnight and sweet dreams!
goodnight amy sweet dreams!
we have the cartoon Phineus and ferb on, and it is quite bizzare but the episode has this song, which is now completely welded into my brain..
my neme-neme- ooh my neme-neme-neme
and this at the end fossils dun dun dun very funny to do for no apparent reason
From the last post,
We all know that some people think Mayo is Gerard. If that was true, there is no way in hell Kapu would be friends with him. She has said over and over that he is a tool. She has also said over and over that she considers Mayo a friend.
Oh yeah, that's ironclad irrefutable logic from Kapunua there.
Crawled into bed words pound in my head
Tell me I was wrong, didn’t get what you’d said
Hold on tight here it comes time to go numb
Pulled up the blankets and started to hum
Gonna drown out your voice
Gonna make that my choice
Tired of this fuckin’ song, this losin’ game.
Gonna start fresh, gonna steal me a name
Don’t matter what you say
Gonna to it anyway
Can’t hear you now you’re too far away
Gonna drown out your voice
Gonna make that my choice
Been lost from me way too long
See it now the character was all wrong
Start with a whisper you’ll end with a cry
Rant all you want better listen for the sigh
Gonna drown out your voice
Gonna make that my choice
Don’t matter what you say
Gonna do it anyway
Can’t hear you now you’re too far away.
Been lost in the darkness way too long
I’m not always right sure the hell ain’t always wrong
But I’m up from the dark was blind now I see
Only voice I hear is the one from deep inside me
Mayo
See ya in the funny papers.
Night Mayo
Elena (See you in the funny papers? WTF? I confuse myself)
It's past 3 am and here I am still awake. I can't believe it's monday already. Tomorrow I have a sociology exam, and I am kinda worried that I might fail it. I hope not.
Anyways, goodnight and sweet dreams to anyone here. SC, it was good to see your name popped up again. Take care.
m, yep, you're missed, even to this day. I miss your comforting words.
Sugarplum: I hope you're well. Sweet dreams! *blows kisses* I hope the parades have been really fun. Say hi to Bre for me :D
Night everyone.

for you tonight one of my all time favourite bands, seen them a number of times and have always loved their music and their quirky style
this is only 2 of their songs, I think I'll have to feature more, so I'll start from their earliest albums. I knew of them from their second in 1976, really started to like them buy their third in 1977
for you from the 3rd Diztrhthmia
Split Enz with
My Mistake
I went out to see if I could fall in love again,
That was my mistake.
That was my mistake.
I went out to see if I could raise a laugh again
That was my mistake.
That was my mistake.
When all I needed was a friend,
To make me stop and think again,
Pull me up and pull me through,
Tally ho, your health my dear.
I went out to see if I could live for a couple of days.
That was my mistake.
That was my mistake.
One by one I counted all those happiest of days.
Yeah, That was my mistake.
Why, That was my mistake.
Whats gone is gone, sweet memories,
Dont let them get the best of me,
No more lost in history,
No more lost for love.
When all I needed was a friend,
To make me stop and think again,
The call to arms is loud and clear,
Tally ho, your health my dear.
I went out to see if I could fall in love again,
That was my mistake.
Why, That was my mistake.
One by one I counted all those happiest of days
That was my mistake.
That was my mistake.
That was my mistake.
That was my mistake.
sing along
much love EP xx
SS
again from Split Enz, a really ground breaking band, I think quite far ahead of their time and still fabulous
from the second album Second Thoughts
Late Last Night
I saw you standing there at the bar
Your eyes were glazed with passion
A look of afar - A secret smile
I blew a few kisses
Said my name is Lyle
That love in her eyes (love in her eyes)
Heart to heart (heart to heart)
A tender goodbye (a tender goodbye)
Nothing could ever keep us apart
As you sipped your tequila
I knew I had to steal ya
Read like a book
Surprise that you took your time
Dig that rhyme
Gone, love took offence at the things I said
Good advice would be to go to bed
Rest my head, yeah
Catch 40 winks
While I dream about the things she said
Late last night, ooh yeah, late last night
She told me someone taught me everything I need to know, yeah
Last last night, late last night
She took my trembling hands and led me under the velvet sky
Rolling on the hill top playing Jack and Jill
Suddenly (suddenly) all was still, she was gone
She seemed so aloof
That's ninety per cent proof, with a lump in my throat
I grabbed my coat and ran, cornered again!
So I'll live for the moment and I'll take it as an omen
Gotta weakness for de women and de wine
Late last night, ooh yeah, late last night
She told me someone taught me everything I need to know, yeah
Late last night, ooh yeah, late last night
She told me someone taught me everything I need to know, yeah
Last last night, late late late late last night
She told me everything I know, know know...
sing along

Hi
I hope everyone is well. I have a fever and hurt all over. I will be back when I feel better.
I think I caught something at the hospital. My friend's baby has asthma and pneumonia. I had taken her to the emergency room early last week and they said she just had a virus and released her. She's now been there for at least four days.
I was her only visitor.
Poor sweetie.
Please get a second opinion if any of you find that symptoms don't go away after treatment.
I know its common sense but I thought I'd put it out there as I am so angry.
:(
Also my car is broken, again. At least I made it home.
Good luck must return, and soon, I hope.
PS - Orange anon - I will try to eat a tangelo later. Do you know if they are any good?
Take care of yourselves, guys.
and germ-less *HUGS* for you
:)
Hey guys!
I'm going out shopping for Boychild's birthday today. Also Mummy K's and Daddy K's birthdays are both next week. Blimey, but that's a lot of shopping.
I hope that you're all enjoying your day!
Hiya Mayo.
Very nice post.
I especially liked the line:
"To warm my hands that you find
Already warm and willing to stay."
It was so nice to see SC here again. It's been too long since her last visit.
Jennicula, hi! Looks like you were a few hours ago though. Sorry I missed you.
Someone made a video compilation of the Bi Si ceremony with music. Guys, these are my wonderful friends, and the people I train with. Please check out this video, it's so fantastic. THEY are fantastic. Look at how fast The Empress can move! These are so much better than the ones I managed to get. Neat choice of music, too. ^_^
What's everybody up to?
That should read "Bai Si."
TJ update:
Going to town for a training session. Today I find out what this new job of mine is all about (& get a hint as to if I want to keep it!)
about 3 hours ago
YAY for TJ!!
Good morning EP. Congrats to Tj.
hello anon
I will text her later to see how it went
I really hope it is something she will enjoy (or at least painlessly tolerate, it is work Lol)
I hope so EP. An honest day's work is an honest day's work. Jobs aren't easy to come by these days. I hope it's something she can appreciate and tolerate until a better opportunity comes along.
she has tried to find something for so long, I think having a job of any kind boost your confidence and gives you a renewed sense of independence, which is so important
after I get in touch I will let everyone know how she went, I hope you can call back at some stage and see
I think it's about 5pm where she is, so she should be finished soon. I'll try texting in an hour or so
actually, ergo, you don't have to text me -- i'm at the library waiting for my ride home. :)
thank you to you and the anon for the congrats!
i think i'm going to like this job -- it's going to be hard, physical work, doing restorative cleaning on fire-damaged houses, but i met a few of the people i'll be working with and they seem like fun people. i think it's going to be interesting, as well as an excellent balance for my evenings, which i now spend writing, instead of sitting here, as i used to! (though i hope to be able to do that again, soon, too!)
That sounds great Tj. You'll be getting paid to do something that will benefit & beautify your community. Good luck to you.
Hey TJ! Congrats on the job! That sounds pretty cool! Like you said, I'm sure it'll be hard physically but gosh, to see something come back to life like that would have to be rewarding, ya know? I've always loved seeing things fixed and put back together.
Unfortunately, I'm much better at destroying than I am the cleaning and fixing! LOL!
Best of luck to you! ^_^
thanks! we have a lot of damaged homes right now from the recent ice storm, so it's a neat thing to know i'll be helping to get people back into their homes.
(but mostly i just want to get paid for exercising. *heh*)
thanks, smoke! i understand the company does have a demolition crew if you're interested...?
*heehee*
oh yay!!!
TJ that is so great, and you'll feel so good helping out too!
hi smoke
YHHHHUSSSSSSSSS!!!!
Oh, I would be so awesome at demolition, TJ! You have no idea! ^_^
Hey Ergo! Hey Anon!
hi ergo!
thanks again for making the tj updates for me. it's been so great to know that i'm here, even if ectoplasmically.
I'd love to have a go at a wrecking ball, or to press the button to explode a building
I have bashed a car with a sledgehammer and that is lost of fun...
and it was for a fund-raiser, you pay so much to attack an old wreck with the sledgehammer
I don't just go about smashing cars lol
no problem TJ :]
it's so nice to see you in blue
(but mostly i just want to get paid for exercising. *heh*)
Think of it as a free membership to a heath club. That's what i do. :)
the 25 people to blame for the financial crisis
so true. the american consumer shares equal blame with the past 2 presidents.
that's exactly what i plan on doing, 6:27. :)
ergo, i have to admit, the last couple of times i've stopped here i've only lurked. it's going to take me a little while before i really feel like i belong here again.
and of course, now i have to go! my ride is almost here.
it's so good to be able to sit and have a little chat here again though. see you later -- bye ergo, bye smoke, bye anon!
Later, TJ! Good to see you! ^_^
Mayo,
I haven't folded my laundry this week. Do I have to? Will you do it for me? No? Well, can't blame you! I hate freakin' laundry! GRRR!!!
mayo,
i've only had time to read your new post just once, so all i can say is that "showered" gave me a lovely jolt -- the lines and rhythm are smooth, almost languid, but the emotions in them have an energy that is very enticing!
i had a feeling you would be making a post on valentine's day -- though i had forgotten what day it was until almost half-way through -- it's good to see that you did.
i hope soon to be able to write you ridiculously long good nights again -- should i apologize in advance? *grin* -- but until that time please know that the thread is still on my wrist (it really is) and i'm still giggling at mayonnaise jars in the grocery store (btw, i recently saw a recipe for "princess mayo" -- mayonnaise flavored with maraschino cherries, interested? *heh*). i may be ecto, but still a resident of blogbelieve.
take care of yourself!
bye for now.
-tj
bey TJ!! have a great week!!
♥
bey? - bye
Bye Tj
Go for it ergo
(btw, i recently saw a recipe for "princess mayo" -- mayonnaise flavored with maraschino cherries, interested? *heh*).
Princess Mayo, eh? Niiiice!
Actually, there's nothing better than a sliced pear with a little mayo and a cherry on top! OMG! I could eat a dozen right now!
Oh, shit! Oooops!
