Showered

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?

Hi Mayo!

How are you?

Anonymous said...

New post. About damn time. Hey mayo. Hi solly, lurkers, anyone else about.

Anonymous said...

Oooh, I love the second one best!

Good to have you back, Mayo.

Anonymous said...

It's perfect timing; I was catching up on House episodes and I just finished them. Now I think I have everything the patients had.

hello Mayo!

I really love the first one.

Hey Everyone!

ergoproxy said...

The second one is definitely nice :)

BC four wheelers are fun, much easier than a motorbike, but you have to be careful, they tip and roll really easily and lots of people get injured or killed on them.
if we see the rescue chopper fly over you have a pretty good chance of it being a 4 wheeler accident if it wasn't a car accident

Anonymous said...

Ergo, that sucks then. If I do try it, it's wearing a helmet and whatever other equipment for me.

ergoproxy said...

BC really unless you are doing silly stuff they are good, people take passengers then try and go up steep hills or go too fast.
We use them fairly often with farm stuff, we don't have one but friends do
you just have to be sensible

Original Punk J said...

Evening, Mayo. Lovely poems. Sounds as if your V-Day was good.

Hello everyone, I hope you all had good days, in whatever way you spent them.

I have some things I wanted to say about the events on the last post, but tonight is not the right time to say them. I'll say them another time.

Anonymous said...

Can't wait to hear what you have to say OPJ. Some people have it coming and you're the right person to give it out.

Anonymous said...

Exactly ergo. We don't have hills or anything, so I see people drive them on the side of the streets.

Hey J, how are you? Um, happy valentine's day?

Although I think it's a sucky holiday.

Those people should be VERY afraid.

To the anon at 9.34 this morning, thank you for your kind words about me, and about SS. They're much appreciated.

5.58 AM, it was so sweet of you to post your feelings to your baby. I know that person saw them; I know they love you in return. How do I know? Just a feeling I have.

More love should be expressed, not just here but everywhere. It seems to be a dying art.

Original Punk J said...

Hi BC, hi Ergo, how's it going? I'm ok, I guess.

BC, my view on Valentine's is, it's a good day to wear black. ;) Which I did. What's this about 4-wheelers?

Ergo, I hear you and DangerHand went shopping...should we alert the press? ;D

Original Punk J said...

First 10.12, that's a sweet thing to say. Thank you.

Second 10.12, I like that part too. I like the whole poem, actually. Sounds like an original, Mayo.

Anonymous said...

Hi there 10:12

J, well in the previous post, we were talking about four-wheelers, but before that I was mentioning that I kinda wanted to try water-skiing and sky diving sometime.

I think it'll be one of those things-that-I-want to-try-before-I-die- sorta thing.

sdock10 said...

I love the whole thing...damp hair and skin, the smell of soap and shampoo, the back of the neck, hands.

I think it's just beautiful.

I would love to be able to write just half this good.

Anonymous said...

hi everyone. original punk please write more often.

Anonymous said...

second 10:12,

That's a great part.

Original Punk J said...

Sounds like a plan, BC. Four wheelers can be tricky little machines, but if you treat them with a healthy respect--and don't ride them sideways across hills!--they're alright.

Water-skiing would be cool, but hanggliding? Um, not so much for me. (Afraid of high, open spaces.)

ergoproxy said...

J he did! without too much goading also!!
It isn't a very common occurrence
and going to lunch made it even nicer

Anonymous said...

I don't know about handgliding, but I am curious about sky-diving, like how does one breath with all that pressure slapping against their faces and making it hard to breath kind of thing.

Oh shit, that reminds me, I have to go wash my hair

Anonymous said...

Ergo, then I would consider that a miracle :D

Brb!

Original Punk J said...

That's impressive, Ergo: shopping AND lunch? Wow. Was that a treat for the holiday, or was it just something he decided to do for you? Either way, he's a good guy. I know you're proud of him.

ergoproxy said...

well it was raining at home and my scales died, and I wanted to get out of the house, and we had planned to buy seafood again, and he had nothing else to do so he couldn't argue!
and lunch was because we were in there and it was a nicer idea than sitting in a noisy food court or McD's or such, and we are always swayed by good food

he is pretty great :D

well we are off to have lunch at the creek and a swim, be back later

take care all

Bye Ergo, catch you around. *hugs*

I need to go give Dumplin his pills, and feed both my guys, but I'll be back in a few.

Nice, nice, nice, sweet! :)

Just finished watching a movie Catch and Release. I LOVE Kevin Smith!! Yes I do. He didn't write it. I knew he didn't. Wasn't from a guy's persepective but a woman's. He did however, co-direct it and you could definately see his influence there. he was hysterical. One look from that man and I crack up!
No, I don't normally like "girly flicks" (there are some exceptions)but it was pretty good if I do say so myself and I did. ;)

Yes, I love Kevin Smith for his mind, which I am sure he would be thrilled to hear! ha!

Anyhow, Mayo, like the first poem very much. the second one...it's ok. they say music to one person may be noise to another's ears and so it goes...
Thanks for writing and sharing, however small and quickly thrown together it may have been.(IMO it was ;) Not bad for being thrown together quickly. Especially if it caught my eye. Not many things do these days so take it as a compliment none the less..sorry for rambling. Mr. Smith must have rubbed off on me (no dirty comments now!) He can run on at the mouth but I could listen forever.

There is a difference between quick wit and well thought out ideas....think about it.
Hoping all of blog believe is well and enjoying or (have already enjoyed) this Valentine's day.
Didn't matter if you were with anyone or not. If you were with yerself and had some fun doing whatever you like to do, it's all good.
Has to go, I am being summoned by the hubs.

Didn't mean to intrude just wanted to say Hi, thanks for the enw post and Good night to you all. Sweet dreams everyone, everywhere!

Enjoy your swim ergo. See you later.

Hi and bye B. I hope you had a good valentine's day?

See you in a few J

Got the supper fixed, but the pilling yet remains. I swear he can hear me getting those pills out of their bottles from 15 miles away.

Ah well, I'll get them in him. Eventually. Or I won't.

Hey BI! It's really good to see you again. Hope you're doing alright.

BC, are you back too?

So what's this? Your kitty doesn't want to take any pills?

Of course you do. Because everything on this blog has something to do with you and you won't be happy until you stick your face into every situation and tell every one how right you and your friends are and how wrong everyone else is.

Amyranth said...

The first poem was quite sexy Mayo. I enjoyed it.

Hallo everyone!

Original Punk J said...

Don't suppose I would either if it involved your human sticking their fingers halfway down your throat...

He's really good about taking them most times. Just occasionally, he likes to let me know HE'S the one in charge of his pill-taking. Um, yeah.

Original Punk J said...

Hi Amy, how're you doing?

Amyranth said...

Hey J!

Not bad, we just finished dinner, and I'm hanging out here while he snoozes to Star Wars Episode 2.

How are you and L doing? Is BC still around? Ergo?

Hallo Amy! How are you?

J, then you should let the kitty know that you're boss, not him :D

Is there a way you can mix the pills with the food?

Amyranth said...

Hallo BC! Not bad. I have a bit of a wine blush going on, but that's about it.

How was your day?

Carrie said...

Hi Mayo, hope you had a nice Valentine's. Thanks for the new post.

Recent convo in our household:

Al: What? Now you are just making crap up!

Terry: Yeah, well, I made you up, didn't I?

Al: (realization of things involved making her up dawns over her face) What? Oh God! Ick! Stop drinking wine!

And that's how we roll at Valentine's. Have a good night, everyone.

Original Punk J said...

We're ok, Amy. I may need to start drinking, too. At any moment, so I won't waste any more time.

BC, trust me, "hiding" the pills from Dumplin does NOT work. This is the smarter-than-your-average-cat cat. He understands many, many words. He can even "say" some.

There is no hiding from the Dumplin. O_o

Anonymous said...

Amy, you get those? If I drink more than three glasses of that stuff, my face looks like a fucking tomato.

My day's been okay, boring, etc. Kinda shitty too, but I'm okay nevertheless.

BC, do I ever. And it's only wine that does it. Beer doesn't give it to me as bad. Right now, I look like I'm working on a wicked sunburn.

Original Punk J said...

Always wondered what that meant, A. Sounds kinda funky, doesn't it?

Amyranth said...

*clears her throat*

Well, it sure as hell doesn't mean what I thought it meant as a child. I thought I was a twinkly little star.

Yeah.. no.

Original Punk J said...

You ARE a twinkly little star, Amy. :)

To an extent I suppose.

I sure look like I'm on fire right now.

Also, I sent you an email about Dumplin.

Ok, I'll go see what it says.

Aaaaaannnd...I've replied. :)

BC, I find white wine bothers e so much more than red does. I used to work with a girl that was so allergic to the tannins in red wine that her face would swell and she'd be almost purple-red.

And BC! I'm well. The parade was amazingly fun. Oh you'll never believe this. Neither Wendy nor i paid any attention to the news because, it's Mardi Gras, you know, like, what could happen?

Yea, it raind on us. lol! We were drenched by the time it was over lol. But it was so fun nonetheless!

Amyranth said...

Aku, I'm probably no more prepared than you are!

I read in The Mail that Britain has the highest rate of teen pregnancy in Europe, apparently the media feels it's becoming a pretty big issue. I guess some kids have no idea what contraception is, and others are given it, and essentially told to "be careful" and that's about it.

However, we'll have to hear from our Eyes and Ears in Europe to get the real deal, I suppose.

Hahaha,very funny.

Love is love, no matter what way you look at it. Feelings are feelings, however, how you choose to act on those feelings is something completely different and controllable.

I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day! It sounds as though Mayo did!

Bre is correct! We did have a great time at the Ceasar parade ~ despite getting drenched and freezing. Hell, that added to fun, methinks! That, and the fact that everybody else there had apparently watched the news and had umbrellas. We are always so unprepared!

(Check your e~mail, Bre!)

Ohhh.... did you tell them about David Arch(however you spell it) yet? He looked like he was having fun up there!!!! Who the heck was that riding with him, though? THAT'S what I want to know!

That same woman, BC, already had 6 other children, did you know? They were all conceived by in vitro fert., they're all 7 or younger, and there's a set of twins in that bunch.

Mayo

It was lovely to see a new post. A very nice Valentines gift. My day didn’t go exactly as planned (but truly when do they?). Instead of a horror movie in honor of the day Star Wars Episode II totally sucked me in. Yeah, it doesn’t matter that I have it on DVD if I’m flipping channels and any Star Wars is on then I’m hooked.

Anyway back to your post. I love the first poem. It is beautiful but somehow haunting. To me it sounds as if the writer wants so desperately to truly feel complete love but something is missing. The coldness in the fingertips betrays. The palms, the hands are willing to stay they revel in the warmth found in love yet the fingers are still cold. Love has not touched every part of their being. Yep, I’m truly thinking too much again but hey, you said it’s interesting to hear your words related back and to my ear that is what I heard. Then again what do I know? Each day I find I know less.

It is my deepest wish you felt love this day and every day.

J, apparently, she was injured on a job she worked at some mental facility a few years ago.

Some pacient there threw a chair or something that directly hit against her back or something. She got awarded $165,000 and so from there, she couldn't work anymore.

Amyranth said...

J, she used to work in a Mental Facility, until one of the patients went berserk and threw a table at her, which nailed her in the back. It damaged her spine and she can't sit or stand for a long period of time.

But, she can carry 8 unborn fetuses. Go figure.

Kids are a blessing, but the same thing happens back in Nova Scotia, they become a source of income for a lot of women.

Amy, that's why I think that woman has a mental problem. If she did it for love, she wouldn't hire a PR company to represent her. She's doing it for the money.

This chickee here will only have one to three kids tops, that's it. My mom wants me to have four kids, and I'm like, no way, I'm not a machine.

you never finished your sailor moon costume?

Amyranth said...

BC, same. My mom wants me to get poppin on the kids, but I'd like to get married first. Then, wait a few years, make sure we've got enough money.

And no, the costume isn't 100% complete. The wig is, and I've tried it on, but my camera card wont load, so I need to get that fixed too yet.

And Aku, yes I draw as well. It's an acquired taste, but some people enjoy it, like Wendy. :D

What did I tell you ladies? She is brilliant! Got it on her first try!

Sorry, I was lost in e~mail land for a bit.

Ya'll should have seen the two bags full of bead she had too!

Anonymous said...

As for bead collecting goes, I suck at it. I only got two necklaces, and that was when I was at the Rio in Las Vegas when they were doing the Carnivale show, ha.

It was great though because a friend and I got to take a picture with one of the male strippers.

Anon616 said...

BC, Amy, J: Ya'll should be down here!!!!!!

There is nothing, in this world, like "carnival time" here in Louzianna!

I hope ya'll can make it down next year.

Sweetcheeks: Sharp eyes! We should have gone to the mall and bought some umbrellas!
Nah... it was fun getting drenched!

I will try to be down there next year sugarplum. I still do have plans to visit New Orleans and I want to try to go visit after when I have finals in may. Hopefully :)

Amy: Does your camera (and/or camera card) got pneumonia too?

It's contagious!

Where did J go?

Original Punk J said...

Ladies, I'm gonna pack it in, I'm getting sleepy. Good to see you all, and Bre, nice to meet you and prove your existence!

Hope you all have a good night.

Goodnight Mayo, thanks again for the poems. Elena's take on the first one's pretty cool, I wonder how close to the truth she is.

Goodnight SS, this time I wrote to you first. ;) Hope you're doing alright. I miss you, baby. Sending you hugs and kisses.

Hey, I have to find out who's playing at the HOB on your birthday (or your birthday weekend).

Your Parain has been wanting to rent a limo and take all of us (your mom included) out for night on the town. THAT would be the perfect occasion!

BC, Amy and J (and L): Get down here on April 9th!!!!

I am very thankful my niece knows the difference between "fantasy" (ie: cartoon characters) and reality (real life human beings getting pregnant at such an extemely young age ~ teenagers).

Actually, Cascade lager sounds familiar! And yes, my guts are way better now, viruses are crazy.

oh that's good I'm glad you're better

I'm just attacking squid for dinner lol

if you all come over you'll be fed well!

ergoproxy said...

and an update for anyone following the fires

they believe the worst fire at Kinglake was perhaps caused by a downed powerline

however the fire at Churchill which killed over 20, a man has been charged with arson.
he is in protective custody - funny that!

ergoproxy said...

oh new scandal in the 13 y old father thing in Britain, there are other boys saying they are the father
ummmmmm..... 15 yo girl....
what on earth can you say about that?

oh wow, one other boy said he was and claims there were another 5...
it just gets worse and worse....

bet their parents are so proud

ergoproxy said...

gosh you'd just be devastated, poor families

ergoproxy said...

and I should stop talking to myself

I am making braised then grilled squid in chilli plum sauce with rice again

are you? sounds lovely

it is nice, really easy too

wow I must come over your house for dinner

sure! just bring wine :]

ok see you soon
bye

bye!

wow they just had video a guy took in Kinglake, he, his wife and 2 kids got between 2 water tanks and let the water run out around and over them and the fire spared them while destroying their home sheds cars etc

Mayo
a song I just saw on a "best of '83" clip show and one I always enjoyed, and even now I belt out a pretty passionate rendition in the car

Bonnie Tyler -Total Eclipse of the Heart

Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit lonely and youre never coming round
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart

Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit restless and I dream of something wild
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit helpless and Im lying like a child in your arms
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit angry and I know Ive got to get out and cry
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit terrified but then I see the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if youll only hold me tight
Well be holding on forever
And well only be making it right
Cause well never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I dont know what to do and Im always in the dark
Were living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forevers gonna start tonight
Forevers gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now Im only falling apart
Theres nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now theres only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

Instrumental

Turnaround bright eyes
Turnaround bright eyes
Turnaround, every now and then I know youll never be the boy you always wanted to be
Turnaround, but every now and then I know youll always be the only boy who wanted me the way that I am
Turnaround, every now and then I know theres no one in the universe as magical and wondrous as you
Turnaround, every now and then I know theres nothing any better and theres nothing I just wouldnt do
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if youll only hold me tight
Well be holding on forever
And well only be making it right
Cause well never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I dont know what to do and Im always in the dark
Were living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forevers gonna start tonight
Forevers gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now Im only falling apart
Nothing I can do

A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now theres only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart


and the clip which is a bit confusing, she is surrounded by athletic young men/schoolboys, occasionally with glowing eyes,....????
...but give me wind smoke and a backlit doorway to burst through and I'm yours!!!

much love EP xx

SS
I hope you enjoy this one, it is related, in a way, by it's title. from a very moving movie, and originally written by Mike Batt for his father dying of cancer, the bright eyes being from the opiates given. A really beautiful song..

Art Garfunkel - Bright Eyes

Is it a kind of dream,
Floating out on the tide,
Following the river of death downstream?
Oh, is it a dream?

There's a fog along the horizon,
A strange glow in the sky,
And nobody seems to know where you go,
And what does it mean?
Oh, is it a dream?

Bright eyes,
Burning like fire.
Bright eyes,
How can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes.

Is it a kind of shadow,
Reaching into the night,
Wandering over the hills unseen,
Or is it a dream?

There's a high wind in the trees,
A cold sound in the air,
And nobody ever knows when you go,
And where do you start,
Oh, into the dark.

Bright eyes,
burning like fire.
Bright eyes,
how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes.

Bright eyes,
burning like fire.
Bright eyes,
how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes.


sing along
lotsa love EP xx

hi to sdock and fasc enjoy sunday
everyone else passing through, do something nice for yourselves

Mayo!

I loooove the new post! Just beautiful! Thank you! I was starting to miss you just a little bit. ^_~

Hope you had an awesome V-Day with the one you love.

Hope you have an awesome Sunday now, too!

Thank you again for sharing this with us!

Smoke said...

Oh, and I just gotta say, if you want a good laugh and scream like a little girl once or twice, go see Friday the 13th. It is in now way an 'awesome' movie but still, there's lots of blood and gore and naked girls. Yep. That's about it! Hahaha!

And OMG, the preview for The Watchmen came on and that has got to be one of the coolest movie trailers I have seen in a long ass time. I almost stood up and shouted! Plus they were playing Muse so that was awesome in itself! ^_^

Whooooop! Whooooop!

Smoke said...

now = no

O_o

Smoke said...

Oh, Mayo! Guess what? It's still V-Day! It's Vroom-Vroom Day!

GO! GO! GO! GO!

*spins Mayo out into the wall*

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

Hee-hee.

Sorry.

It's Daytona 500 day! WHOOO! I'm excited! Go Tony!

Mayonaise, SS, friends and fellow bloggers

On the day of warm red blood
I dedicate a song to this blog

With all my thinking
Which is never far away

At an silent distance
Yet not completely lost

May your future reflect
you and your choices

take care
`sc

Video-acoustic version is on my blog or here is url

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RW03uBzCw9I


Coldplay Lyrics
Lost!

Just because I'm losing
Doesn't mean I'm lost
Doesn't mean I'll stop
Doesn't mean I will cross

Just because I'm hurting
Doesn't mean I'm hurt
Doesn't mean I didn't get
What I deserved
No better and no worse

I just got lost
Every river that I tried to cross
Every door I ever tried was locked
Ohhh and I'm...
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off

You might be a big fish
In a little pond
Doesn't mean you've won
'Cause along may come
A bigger one

And you'll be lost
Every river that you try to cross
Every gun you ever held went off
Ohhh and I'm...
Just waiting until the firing stop
Ohhh and I'm...
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off

Ohhh and I...
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off
Ohhh and I..
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off

Boogity! Boogity! Boogity! Let's go racing!

WTF, Truex? WTF? You got Guitar Hero on your car! You gotta stay in the race, man!

Smoke said...

Okay, now. WTF with the competition cautions? Can they not come up with some mothereffin' tires that actually stay round and won't blow out? It's only been 25 laps! Goodyear has got to do better than this.

>.<

Smoke said...

Oh! And I meant to say earlier how nice it was to see Soul Connector! It's great to see you around here!

37th to 9th! Tony is laughing! YAYNESS!

Mayo,

I promise I'm not going to give you a play by play.

*crosses fingers behind back*

Promise! ^_^

ergoproxy said...

good morning

smoke was there some thing about the fuel supply for the race? I saw something on the news.

Smoke said...

Oh, I don't know! Could have been. Right now they are worried about the tire wear which is crazy and makes it more about new tire and pit strategy than actual racing. It sucks. And then they have blow outs after ten to fifteen laps. Craziness. I haven't heard about the fuel though.

ergoproxy said...

it makes the race drag on so much if they have to keep heading to the pits, do they normally have tire worries after so few laps?

I saw the nascar truck racing on tv last night, those things seem to slide off at the drop of a hat!

our endurance race is the Bathurst 1000 (it's km) and is a touring circuit in October each year, I always watch it

Smoke said...

It really depends on which track they are at but Daytona has been kind of bad the last couple of years when it comes to tires. Lowe's Motor Speedway is pretty rough, too. Tony always gets pissed off with Goodyear and goes off on them which in turn pisses off NASCAR. NASCAR is never happy with Tony's mouth though. LOL!

Smoke said...

Oh! Jr is leading and Tony is second! YHUSSS!!!

Smoke said...

OH! OH! TONY FOR THE LEAD! WOOOOOO!!!!!

ergoproxy said...

ours always use the same track but the weather and esp the heat can be really bad on tyres

oh the mummy wallaby and her joey are out again :]

Smoke said...

Awww!!!! How sweet!

ergoproxy said...

oh there are also 4 others! one is lying on the grass in the sun, don't blame it!

Smoke said...

Nope! Hahaha! That is so cool! All I have is one lazy kitty cat on my porch!

there they are

Too sweet, Ergo!

mayo!

love the poems very much. both of them.

gotta say the first poem is so you. proper mayo as we know it. absolutely beautiful and so special how so little can portray so much. just lovely. with the beauty comes the sorrow, and i see sorrow, or maybe sadness, or maybe just wanting it all to be perfect. and not understanding why it's not. still so very beautiful though.

thank you for sharing, you have a gift and i am fucking jealous!!

and how shit is my punctuation tonight??!

good to see you though mr man in the tower. take care.

Anonymous said...

Through Facebook, I just got in touch with three friends I haven't seen in about ten years. I met them through the internet and we actually went to Disneyworld together, just like Fim, Solly, Smoke and I all did.

Ten years and it's like we never fell out of touch!

Friendships that form through similar interests on the internet, through lists, groups, and even blogs, can be just as enduring as the ones you make through school, work etc.

This one was through a mailing list. And believe me when I tell you that as far as drama goes, that mailing list had its share of it, too. (Although no one really crossed any boundaries into real life, still there were divisions etc. ) It was the old AIC mailing list, actually, that's where we all met.

It's so damn weird to be talking to these awesome people again, especially after so much has changed. (And the fandom that started it all is destroyed.)

So weird!

Smoke said...

Hey Jules! That's pretty awesome!

I'm pissed. WTF with NASCAR? Just WTF? They called the race because of rain with 48 laps to go. What happened to finishing it the next day? Hello! I'd be so pissed if I had actually drove down to Daytona for the race and that happened. >.<

Tony finished 8th though. Yay for Tony!

Anonymous said...

Oh no, Princess! Do you not get to see the rest of it?

Smoke said...

Nope, it's over! It's done! Finished! And it sucks! Used to, if it started raining like that, they would just wait and finish the race the next day. I don't know why they decided to just go ahead and call it. 48 laps is like at least another hour of racing! Grrrrr!!!

Anonymous said...

That blows! Yeah, if I had gone down there I would be pretty pissed off. Heck, I'd be pretty pissed if I was just trying to watch it on TV.

Smoke said...

Plus, Daytona is the kind of place that it really doesn't matter until the last lap. You never know who's gonna win until the very end. So everyone basically has a shot at it. It just sucks to start the season out that way. Boo!

Boo, Mayo! Just boo! :(

Smoke said...

Yeah, Mama and I were both cussing at the tv! Solly was like, "Ummm, what? Wow. Okay."

She's not into NASCAR like me! Hahaha!

Smoke said...

BOO!!!!!!
