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?

How are you?
New post. About damn time. Hey mayo. Hi solly, lurkers, anyone else about.
Oooh, I love the second one best!
Good to have you back, Mayo.
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!
I love the first one too
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
Ergo, that sucks then. If I do try it, it's wearing a helmet and whatever other equipment for me.
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
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.
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.
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.
Hi Mayo, I haven't been lurking or anything. I have some trouble to start but you're around now so I'll start it when I think you're not here.
hello J
hope you and L are well
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.
i missed you original j :)
. To find a way
To warm my hands that you find
Already warm and willing to stay
I love this part.
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
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.
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.
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.
hi everyone. original punk please write more often.
second 10:12,
That's a great part.
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.)
J he did! without too much goading also!!
It isn't a very common occurrence
and going to lunch made it even nicer
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
Ergo, then I would consider that a miracle :D
Brb!
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.
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
xx
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.
Like this part alot:
"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..."
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
Now you KNOW it's not Gerard writing this blog about LynZ..... Neither of them take a shower.
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?
J, yep, I'm back. It takes me less than 10 mins to dry my hair now
So what's this? Your kitty doesn't want to take any pills?
"
I have some things I wanted to say about the events on the last post, "
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.
The first poem was quite sexy Mayo. I enjoyed it.
Hallo everyone!
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.
Hi Amy, how're you doing?
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?
Hallo BC! Not bad. I have a bit of a wine blush going on, but that's about it.
How was your day?
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.
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
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.
J, that sounds absolutely scary :D
Carrie, I was told I was a "twinkle in my father's eye."
O_O
Goodnight carrie sweet dreams
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.
Always wondered what that meant, A. Sounds kinda funky, doesn't it?
*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.
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.
Amy, yeah beer is okay, doesn't make my face flush.
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.
oooh, definately like the new post. i loved the first part!
Hello friends! And, of course, Mayo!
How are you all on this St. Valentine's Day?

Cleo's texting me - Really gotta go!
Hi AkuRoku, good to finally meet you--I've seen you in pictures before, so I know you're real!
Call me J. How's Wendy?
Amy, really? O_o
I never tasted red wine, although I do want to.
Hey there Bri, how are you? how was the parade?
7
Also - Nice to meet you Aku!
And thank you for the kind words this morning, Anon.
:)
Bye for real!
Hi and bye miranth. Have a great time :)
( ) Ridden on a San Francisco cable car
---------------------------
Never did that, but I have plans to visit San Francisco sometime. And if I fall in love with it, I might move there after college.
Hallo Mira and AKU!
Hi Miranth, good to see you too. :)
Hope you have fun at your party!
J, you know I'm real! Thank you! I quite appreciate that, since my existence is commonly questioned, lol!
Wendy is good. We just got back from a parade an hour or so ago. It was quite entertaining. She is in good spirits.
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!
I took a picture, just for y'all. I'll post a link to it just as soon as i get it on my computer and on my photobucket account :)
Hello Amy!
How are you?
That's great Bri! I'm glad you guys had a great time.
I can't wait to see the picture :D
Not bad Aku, just started reading about the 13 year old boy who fathered a child with a 15 year old in Britain. Kid looks like he's no more than 10.
Dear SS,
Wherever you are, know that we are looking at the same stars.
We may not be together in person, but we'll always be together in our hearts.
I love you, Precious.
My heart to yours, always.
There! I wanted to get that written while it was still V-Day. :)

dear Lord, i'd faint if i got pregnent at MY age, much less 15.
*shakes head*
What is the world coming to these days. Is there no morality left in the world? In the upcoming generations?
"What is the world coming to these days. Is there no morality left in the world? In the upcoming generations?"
From someone into cartoon porn?
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.
From someone into cartoon porn?
*****
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.
Just because i like the pairing, doesn't mean i read into it that way. please, don't act like you know me. okay.
I suppose you're right Amy.
Cartoons don't fall in love.
I'm not the one making jokes.
The pregnancy thing is reminding me of that California lady with the octuplets.
A lot of people are pissed because the taxpayers are paying for her newborn babies care. Apparently, she's getting death threats because of it.
BC, I read about her. She's got a very precarious situation going on there, but... when you make your bed, you have to lie in it, as it were.
Hello Bre/AkuRoku/ME (or another one of my personalities), Mayo, SS, J, Amy, Sweetcheeks, Miranth, Martha, Carrie... everyone!
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!)
:( and :)
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!
*big smile*
How are the rest of you? Warm, dry and well, I hope!
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

people read books for the same reason though, right? And those people can be fictional too, yet people get hyped up about those pairings.
Whether it's a move, show, or book, it's no different.
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.
Apparently her mom and grandmother take care of all of them (she lives with her mother).
Ah, yes! email, right!
*skips off*
Exactly Amy. And after reading some of the articles with the interviews she did.....I seriously think she has a mental problem. No kidding.
And then I read an article about how women might be addicted to having kids or being pregnant.
Hiya sugarplum, how are you? *blows kisses and big hugs*
Ummm... Bre, have you been talking about cartoon porn here? Did I miss something?
Awww... you are right about LOVE! Even cartoon characters need some lovin'!
J: I'm so glad to see you back! It sounds as though you're in a chipper mood. I'm happy to see that too!
Sweetcheeks: Are you sick again? I'm sorry to hear that. You have to get better for your test on Tuesday!
I'd heard that the octuplets mom had previously gone bankrupt too? was that true??
J, she does, and all those kids and her live with her mom, like you said.
And this lady doesn't have a job or anything to support the kids except for disability payments.
I couldn't handle 14 kids. I'd go insane.
Ummm... Bre, have you been talking about cartoon porn here? Did I miss something?
Awww... you are right about LOVE! Even cartoon characters need some lovin'!
******
Love, most definately. Cartoon porn, haha no.
Aku, I thought I'd read that as well. I also read that she idolizes Angelina Jolie for various reasons.
Wendy, of course we were. Why shouldn't we talk about porn on.. oh shit.
Valentine's Day is over on the blog. :P
Sugarplum, me sick? Nah. That was just a typo up there. I meant to say we were having kinda shitty weather :D
Haven't heard that one, Bre. But it's not as hard as you'd think to go bankrupt! Especially if you have millions of children to take care of.
Wendy, the tone I'm using? Chipper? Glad it sounds that way. I'm really not. Just trying to lie to myself. :/
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.
Night Mayo
Elena (may the force be with you)
NOOOOOOOO!!!!!
no no no no no!!!
damn rain!!!!
my pictures went poof!!!!
aaahhhhh!!!!
they were a classic too!!!
awww, guess i'll just have to take more at another parede, huh Nanny.
I'm good, sweetcheeks! Thanks for asking. I took a nice, long, hot shower when I got home.
Next weekend, I'm watching the weather before we go the parades!
I'm also keeping an umbrella in my car from now on.
Regarding the woman with the octuplets: What is she thinking? How is she going to support those, how many now, 14 children?

They start younger and younger these days, don't they? How old was the boy that fathered a child with his teacher? 12 when she started sleeping with him?
I just don't know...
Elena! I was just thinking about you!! I hope you're doing.
-A
(And also with you.)
"And this lady doesn't have a job or anything to support the kids except for disability payments."
Disability payments? Is she disabled too? Not just pregnant?
Goodnight elena sweet dreams.
That sucks Bri. I was hoping to see that pic :/
Yeah, we will pumpkin! The other two came out great, though!
Show them your special "tango" pose for them! LOL!!!
it's funny how the pictures we took after we got drenched remained, but the ones before, that one's that i wanted!, were ruined by the rain.
i think the camera caught a cold...
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.
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.
haha yea, i'll but the one's i still have up.
But don't worry BC! I'll take more like the one's i had planned and post them for you to see. Believe it! lol
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.
And I have seen the picture where it showed her stomach with the 8 unborn fetuses. It was fucking huge X_X
Thanks Bri :)
I'm sorry J.
:(
Maybe "chipper" wasn't the proper adjective to use. How about... you sound a little better than the last time I talked to you!
Bre: I think the camera caught pneumonia! Poor thing!
Hi Elena!!!! I hope you had a "decent" Valentine's Day!
I did see that BC! Nothing against pregnant women, but... eeyikes...
You shouldn't have more kids than you have tits.
Uh, how do i post a link??
Wendy, of course we were. Why shouldn't we talk about porn on.. oh shit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Of course ya'll can talk about it, Amy! I'm just miffed I missed it!
;)
Ohhh... I was telling Bre about your Sailor Moon costume. Did you ever finish it? I still want to see pictures of you wearing the finished product!
yeah, Amy! i heard about that! you were making a sailor moon costume?! i used to love that show lol
and i heard you draw well too! that's awesome!
Wendy, I haven't finished it yet. Christmas came, and I had to pack my stuff up. I'll probably get after it again here pretty soon.
Oh poop!
I'll e mail the code to you Bre!
:)
Amy, it was just scary O_o
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?
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
Let's see if this works....
Me after the parade!
Amy, mister needs to start cracking on the marriage proposal then ;D
you're a pretty girl aku
haha it works lol
Bre, the picture works! Love it. I want to steal some of those beads :D
And you're pretty too
O_O
That's a lot of beads young lady!!
Thank you Anon and BC!
Ahh, it's one of the most fun times of the year :)
Lol I can see Target and Bed bath and beyond.
Amy, indeed ^_^
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!
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.
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?
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.

I hope you can make it Sweetcheeks! We'll go hang out at the HOB and then we can "do the Dungeon".
Ummm... Bre can't come to The Dungeon yet. She's not quite old enough j~u~s~t yet!
You will be soon enough, Bre. Soon enough!
*big wink for Bre*
Amy: You and she should collaborate on an Anima... what do call them? Mangas?
You illustrate it and she can write it!
Nice to meet you too, J! GoodNight.
Goodnight J and sweet dreams. My love to you and L!!!!
*blows night night kisses*
PS: Bre, you're beautiful! Just like your aunt. :D

Aww, thanks J!

Of course you're not!

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!!!!

Goodnight J, sweet dreams to you and L *blows kisses*
Sugarplum, that sounds like a lovely plan. I'll write it down on my calender ^_^
Any good bands playing at HOB in april?
nothing good at the hob yet BC.
at least, not that i'm aware of.
Ohhh... but, don't forget X Fest should be coming up soon (in Baton Rouge) and RJA is playing in March (I think. Also in Baton Rouge.)
Well ladies, it's been fun but I must be off before... well... yeah, I better go!
Goodnight pumpkin! I love you!!!!
Goodnight Amy and Sweetcheeks! I love ya'll too!
Thank you, again, to all who welcomed my niece. She is quite wonderful and very special. Of course, I'm biased and I feel the same about ya'll! Well, maybe she's just a bit more wonderful and special. I hope ya'll understand my feeling that way!
;)
Goodnight Mayo, SS, anon and lurkers. Sweet dreams to one and all!
Hugs and Love,

Goodnight Bre sweet dreams :)
hello again I'm back from the creek
we had a swim - it was COLD, until you got in, only took me about 5 mins
and then we cooked some sausages and had them in bread
and I went for a walk and stalked a couple of butterflies

And... just ONE more thing:
12:01 ~ Cartoon characters can't REALLY get pregnant (no matter what they do). You do know that, right?
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).
Goodnight again!
Hiya Ergo. It sounded like you had a good time.
Goodnight again sugarplum :)
goodnight wendy and Bre sweet dreams
the creek
sausage cooking
little yabby in the water about an inch long
butterfly 1
butterfly 2
fern and moss by the water esp for TJ and the anon who likes water pics
Those butterflies are really cute ergo.
I'm afraid I'm gonna call it a night. Goodnight and sweet dreams.
Goodnight to Amy. I bet she got lost, lol.
Thank you for the pics, Ergo, Terry so is poking me for us to jump on a plane and pile up on you!
goodnigth BC sweet dreams
Carrie are you feeling better?
and ask terry if you get Cascade Larger over there , it's a Tasmanian beer and very nice (was drinking it at the creek)
lager *sheesh*
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!
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!
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
gosh you'd just be devastated, poor families
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!!!
sing along
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
goodnight blogbelieve see you in my morning
♥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!
♥
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!
now = no
O_o
Oh, Mayo! Guess what? It's still V-Day! It's Vroom-Vroom Day!
*runs around Mayo's living room*
*runs into the back of Mayo to get the bump draft effect going*
GO! GO! GO! GO!
*spins Mayo out into the wall*
*checkered flag*
*SMOKE FTW!*
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
Hee-hee.
Sorry.
It's Daytona 500 day! WHOOO! I'm excited! Go Tony!
Yeah, Smoke's big fandom day! :) Have fun today, Princess!
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

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

Animal identification FAIL!
This guy from one of those shopping networks is trying to sell you a camera. Too bad he can't tell wtf he's looking at!
Mayo, S(S)S, just look at those big teeth. Those hooves!
I thought everyone might get a kick out of this. I saw this at stupid o'clock last night and it made me laugh pretty damn hard. ^_^
Oh my goodness, SC! Been a while!
*is sheepish*
I fell asleep in the chair last night, after I got a shoulder rub from Mister.
*squeeze for `sc*
Boogity! Boogity! Boogity! Let's go racing!
WTF, Truex? WTF? You got Guitar Hero on your car! You gotta stay in the race, man!
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.
>.<
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! ^_^
good morning
smoke was there some thing about the fuel supply for the race? I saw something on the news.
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.
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
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!
Oh! Jr is leading and Tony is second! YHUSSS!!!
OH! OH! TONY FOR THE LEAD! WOOOOOO!!!!!
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 :]
Awww!!!! How sweet!
oh there are also 4 others! one is lying on the grass in the sun, don't blame it!
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.
SS hope you are good, well and fab?!
the wallabies are so cute ergo.
good luck with the race proncess. i am English i do not understand!!
SC so nice to see your name here.
can't stop just an in and out!!
take care guys.
sorry so fuckin brief!
♥
hi and bye fasc!
and I meant to say hello and thanks to SC too !
I'm dressed and off to school/groceries
have fun smoke! go Tony!!
back later
xx
You might be a big fish
In a little pond
Doesn't mean you've won
'Cause along may come
A bigger one
Very nice. Good to see you sc.
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!
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!
Oh no, Princess! Do you not get to see the rest of it?
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!!!
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.
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! :(
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!
BOO!!!!!!
