You startled me
In not so much your words,
But your approach.
It was fast
And filled my head
With nonsense words
And warmth
When you weren’t there.
So, I went under
And swallowed
The surge. And above
My head is swirling water.
My hand slapping at the surface,
Desperate for structure
Steep stone. Then
My fingers finding rooted edge
Holding ground,
Finally. Almost out of breath
When I pulled myself up.
Entwined in mine, fingers
Not rooted mass, but flesh.
That took the shape
Of mysteries ability
To suddenly deliver me
Upon the edge was all
That I was meant to be.

heart full
Today on my way home from class, I stopped off at the petrol station for some petrol. I paid on my card which wasn’t a lot, and then as I was getting into my car, I saw an old man walking past the building. He had a red and green stripy jumper which was frayed at the ends. He was also wearing some jeans that were dirty and had holes all over.
I sat there and became intrigued by him because I didn’t know what he was doing, so as I sat there and watched him, he continued doing what he set out to do.
He walked past the trash cans and first picked out a cup with some drink still in it (one of the cups that you get from burger king that has coke in it). He then walked over to the next trash can and pulled out the end of a half eaten sandwich. In my shock horror, he ate it and then went to sit on the wall to drink the drink he had found.
I felt sad, I wanted to give him my last $4 that I had but I was told when I was younger that you should never give people money, you should give them something they need or can use because that way, if they had an addiction, they would not be able to use the money for their addiction. So I went into the shop and bought a chicken sandwich from their deli counter and then walked out of the building.
The guy was still sat at the wall drinking his drink so I walked up to him and asked him if he would like this sandwich. He thanked me and said that he was hungry.
I should of felt good after that, doing something for someone else but all I could think of is where his next meal will come from or where in fact he will sleep tonight.

Jennicula,
Thank you for sharing your story. Although it only appeared briefly, I was lucky enough to have caught it.
Once upon a time, for me, that was the best part of this place...having my words related back to me from another's perspective.
And it never mattered to me who said it, just that it meant something to the writer.

Don't let anyone tell you how to live your life. Hold your head up high and be proud of who you are. If you've had a shitty day and you feel like people just don't want you to be happy, and when you find yourself struggling to make it through the day, just keep on believing and keep the faith. Also, from personal experience, don't push people away. When they say they want to help and that they are there for you, let them in. Believe me, I know how fucking scary that thought is, but don't shut others out.

Sometimes, when you look back on stuff in your life, you know, the crap that makes you shake your head and say, "Holy shit, what the Hell was I thinking?" it's part of what makes you - you.
I'm not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. I have made small mistakes and really big, fucking scary mistakes. Would I change those mistakes and blunders?
No. Wanna know why?
Because they make me - me. They help make up the person that I am, what I've learned the hard way. Hopefully I've learned from my mistakes and have become a better person for it. And, hopefully I don't repeat those same mistakes. Although, sometimes I repeat variations of certain ones, but I'm working on that. :)

aloft
Blazing against the sun
like locusts,
samaras swarm the sky
and skitter to an earthly end,
dry
like clever words.
I want to make them fly up,
flip heaven upside down
and dance across the top of hell
and sing your thoughts
to the sound of thunder
that you love so well,
rip open the littered sky
and bathe in the light
or draw across the firmament
the blanket of the night.
In only a day they have
covered the ground,
their brief flight
yielding nothing permanent
on infertile land,
a fleeting moment of swarming glory
that calls to mind our own
short story:
Diamonds and petals,
the loom and the light,
the inkdark moon, foxfire marsh,
an open, waiting hand.
Clever winged seeds
of childhood reminiscent--
and like the idiot grown-up heart,
as stubbornly indehiscent.

Electric Blue
…today I saw a ulysses butterfly it was in our yard and settled to feed on our hibiscus. They really are fantastically beautiful things, the electric blue is amazing, however as they sit with their wings closed they are rather nondescript and dull. Sometimes people are like that, from the outside they seem unappealing but within there hides an amazing beauty for those lucky enough to see it. I hope you appreciate beauty in all things, and look for it perhaps where others miss it.

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL.
I read your post again and suddenly without warning memories of construction paper filled my head. I remembered all the lop-sided flowers my girls made when they were young. Bright blue, yellow and pink flowers that were cut out with blunt end scissors would fill the windows to decorate for Easter. An occasional bunny was attempted but those usually ended up looking like creatures from a horror movie. Flowers were so much easier. I can close my eyes and hear the paper being cut into petals. I can smell the Elmer’s glue squirted on in huge blobs to attach each misshapen petal to form the flowers. We had a huge arts and crafts box full of wonderful items just waiting for their imaginations to turn into something wonderful. In my mind I see my daughters, as they once were, small, blond little girls sitting on the floor surrounded by scraps of paper and other art supplies. They would create their masterpieces then proudly show each other. Oh and Lord the messes that would ensue if the glitter made an appearance. Now, the box is forgotten. I’m not really sure where it even is anymore. The few flowers so lovingly created that survived are faded and dusty and high on a shelf they sit. Time marches on, so many things get left behind.
Today was the first Easter I spent alone. I don’t think it really upset me until I remembered the construction paper flowers. Of course I understand that my daughters are growing up and have lives of their own. But understanding doesn’t make it any easier to accept. I miss my little girls in their frilly Easter dresses. I miss the laughter that filled the house when they found what the Easter Bunny left for them. And I miss making the damn flowers.

Don't wear yourself out going down like that bc. ^_~
I like apples.

Lol. Chasing after them takes a lot out of you, especially when they don't want to be caught ^_^
Sounds like a very clever little wabbit BC.
a psp, kapunua?!? you know i'm jealous of you now! *covetcovetcovet*

otherwise: "astro zombies" on repeat, writing an return email, etc etc...

11:20,
He's a little pain in the ass sometimes, but I love that animal nevertheless. It's my baby.
hey there tj
hey bc, i hear you about your fur baby. that's how i am with my cat too -- except that she's in another state, alas.
Aw tj, I do agree. Pets just become a big part of the family.
Were beverages bursting through the walls or were condiments eating each other?
I see someone really hates Kapu.
Actually OPJ always bitched about the Kool aid games.
i'm such a piss-poor multitasker.
but the email is done now, anyway!
they really do, bc. i think that's a good thing. :)
weeeeelllllllll, i guess it's time for me to turn in.
*sigh*
sweet dreams, blogbelieve.
hellooo I'm home!!
and looks like I missed TJ, sweet dreams
anyone else about?
oh poo
all alone...
well Mayo I hada pretty good day
after having a flat battery in the car adn being a bit nervous about a situation at work
but it all worked out ok :]
how was your day?
productive?
dull?
repetitive?
enjoyable?
melancholy?
mayo,
it was definitely a successfully lazy weekend, although now my mom seems to be making a point of commenting on every yawn.
please, mayo, take my advice: after a certain age, never move back in with your parents. it -will- drive you insane.
maybe i'm exaggerating. *grin*
anyway, tomorrow it's back to work, and even though i'm enjoying this job, it's still "back to work", if you know what i mean. and the day also has an apartment for me to look at, and a resume to drop off for a job i will probably not get, but the compliment of being spontaneously offered the position makes me want to keep that door open. and who knows?
if i just keep my eyes on the horizon, just keep walking forward one step at a time, things are okay. but it's a bit of a balancing act these days...walk the path without thinking about it too closely, trust that i'm getting somewhere, because it's a dry road at the moment, at least as far as my heart is concerned.
maybe foundations are being laid and frameworks built, but it's like i can't look at them, it's like some fairy tale taboo, and if i look, everything might crumble.
do you remember that scene from "indiana jones and the lost crusade"? when indy thinks that there might actually be a bridge across the chasm, but he still has to take a deep breath and close his eyes in order to step out onto it?
well, i stepped, and fell a bit, and now i'm keeping my eyes closed in order to get all the way across.
i'm going to get there, mayo, you'll see.
but now it's time for dreams. the arms-out, eyes-closed bit starts up again in the morning. *grin*
sweet dreams, my friend, and good luck to you on your own path tomorrow.
*jumps back in*
*hugs ergo*
i was thinking about sending you some cap'n crunch, if you'd like, if no one has beat me to it! yes? no?
i'll catch up on your answer tomorrow!
good night ergo!
oh yes please TJ!!!
I'd love to try it :]
*hug back*

Hiya ergo, if you're still about. Hi anon, what's up?
Hey BC. How's it going?
A Rose for Emily...
Hey there emily, how are you?
I'm good, just going back and forth, trying to order some magazines.
I'm good BC but I've become a bit of an insomniac lately for some reason. I've tried sleeping aides, teas, warm milk and I'm still up. Just sucks.
But anyhoo, how's everything on your end? Are doing a spring cleaning?
A Rose for Emily...
hello!
sorry i was over on myspace
how are you both?
have you tried Valerian emily?
it worked for me, but mine got worse after I had PND and I was on medication, but now I only take the teeniest dose, so I'm nearly back to normal
Hey EP!
I'm good, just frustrated cause I can't get to sleep. How's everything going in your neck of the woods?
A Rose for Emily...
that sucks emily :/
As for spring cleaning, ha, not even. I'm just sitting here listening to some songs.
Valerian? Is that an over the counter sleep aide cause that would help me out a lot. I've tried Unisom but it takes too long to kick in and when it does, I have to get up. Its just so frustrating :(
A Rose for Emily...
all is good over here thanks
it was a warm day, but a situation with a difficult student appears to have been sorted out, well today was good so I hope it continues
I'm doing okay ergo, thanks. How was your day?
What's on the playlist tonight BC? I'm in a frustrated yet chipper mood.
What are some of the greats in your music playlist right now?
A Rose for Emily...
*comes in singing*
"My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way...
It's my life"
*has Bon Jovi on the brain*
Hello Mayo, SS, Sweetcheeks, Ergo, A Rose for Emily, various anons, various watchers and various lurkers!
How are you all tonight? Good, I hope!
Sweetcheeks: What's this I hear about Chocolate giving you a workout today? Bad bunny!
Ergo: I see you like the Apple Jacks too!!!! Those and Fruit Loops are my favorites. I do love Cap'n Crunch too! Especially the boxes with extra crunch berries!
A Rose For Emily: How have you been? Insomnia, you say? Well, we have sheep next door available for counting (although that doesn't usually help me). Who knows? It could work for you!
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

valerian is a herbal sleep aid
you get it in the vitamin section over here, so prob the same there. Get pure valerian, 2000mg, take one about an hour earlier
I find it slowed my mind down, I lie awake thinking stupid stuff, like repeating song lyrics or ads
LOL Anon616!
I've tried counting sheep before but I'm allergic to wool, but thanks for the advice anyways. Hahaha...
A Rose for Emily...
My OB~Gyn swears by Melatonin. Well, he did until he suggested I take it. It did work (for about 2 months) many, many, many years ago... I think I became immune!
hi wendy
BC day was good thanks I'm now contemplating dinner
I'm making tacos
Thanks EP. I'm going to see if they have it at my local GNC or Whole Foods. At this point I'm willing to try anything.
A Rose for Emily...
Some of the greats in my playlist right now consists of a lot of heavy metal emily. It's great music to listen to if you feel like rocking out or just want to escape.
Right now I'm listening to a song I've just downloaded from a band called Within Temptation. It's call All I Need, it's pretty awesome.
Hiya sugarplum, how are you? *smothers with super sloppy kisses*
Yep, you heard right, the bunny was being a bit of a pain today ^_^
*nose starts to sniffen*
Ergo....what kind of tacos?
*mouth waters, even though I just ate*
I suppose I could go ahead and shear them for you, Em. But, it's awfully dark out there in that barn. Someone might have to hold my hand... and a flashlight. I don't want to shear anything but the wool! The sheep don't like when you... well, you know!
I love, love, love tacos. Especially with extra cheese. Sharp cheddar is my favorite. Now, I'm getting hungry and that's not a good thing. I don't want to get into the habit of late night snacking.
A Rose for Emily...
I have never known anyone to try melatonin
it sounds ok but apparently isn't a good substitute if your body doesn't make it
my meds keep my serotonin normal and as it then makes melatonin it keeps my sleep normal
BC I'm going to do spiced beef strips and have cheese, salsa, avocado, lettuce, tomato and sour cream
tempted?
*smoothers sweetcheeks back with sloppy kisses and hugs*
What's your nose sniffen, sweetcheeks? Ohhh... Ergo's cooking some OM NOM NOM for us!!!!
Can I have extra cheese and lettuce on my Taco's please? No beef!
Pssst... put some sleepy dust in Em's!
I'll take extra everything, Ergo. Well, except the beef!
You keep cracking me up Anon616.
BC nice selection of music. I just downloaded a few songs for this band that I just love. They are like the next big thang, Kings of Leon. Oh my goodness I love these guys. And that lead singer (lord have mercy). Have you ladies heard their songs or seen their videos? Sex On Fire is my favorite.
A Rose for Emily...
That sounds delicious ergo :D
you sure can wendy!
I could probably find some chicken for you instead
Me too EP! Extra cheese and extra servings. Yummy!
A Rose for Emily...
I heard Kings of Leon are definitely becoming the next big thing Emily. That's what I've been hearing :)
I'm sorry, Em! I'm not supposed to be cracking you up. I'm supposed to making you sleeeepy.
Okay... look into my eyes... look deep into my eyes...
You are getting sleeeeepy. Very, very S L E E E E E P Y ....
Wait, did someone say chicken tacos!!!!! I do love chicken tacos! Maybe you can rustle up a turkey for Em, Ergo. They have that sleeeepy enzyme!
Kings of Leon are over here at the moment!!
I saw them interviewed the other day,they are doing our MTV awards friday, with Killers and Pete Wentz is hosting.
And they played at the big Bushfire benefit concert last weekend
they are pretty good, don't know if I really love them yet or not, I want to hear a bit more from them but they seem like nice guys too
Em: Kings Of Leon are playing at JAZZ FEST next month!!!!
you know they didn't play "Sex is on Fire" as they felt it wasn't respectful to the fire victims, which was sweet of them
Sugarplum, stop making me hungry! Lol. I love chicken tacos
That was very sweet of them, Ergo. Awww! And, I must second Em's "lord have mercy"!
Sweetcheeks: Did you go download some "Sex On Fire"?
Oh EP! I love their music. They are definitely the next big thing and the lead singer, which I believe his name is Caleb, his voice is so soulful. They're sound is definitely a throw back to Lynyrd Skynyrd, but an updated and sexier version. If you haven't seen their videos go to YouTube and type their names in and you'll see what I'm talking about. That boy just takes my breathe away. Oh boy, I'm gettin' flustered just talking about them. LOL!
A Rose for Emily...
Okay, ya'll know I have to do it!
Kings Of Leon Sex On Fire
That's one of those songs I like more every time I hear it! I love that "gravely" voice!
Ergo: Don't bother with those chickens! I forgot Kings Of Leon were fetching those for you!
Sweetcheeks: Are you ready to go back to school this week?
lol emily I have seen them on tv, he is a talented guy, and not bad on the eyes
I just tend to take a bit to warm to bands sometimes, like the decision to buy the music, as opposed to enjoying hearing it
I loved On Call
I love this song so much! And I knew it was a naughty song, but I didn't know the lyrical content until I looked them up last night and oh my word! Its just a zexy zexy song. And Caleb with those piercing green eyes just makes it all worth wild. Tee hee!!!
A Rose for Emily...
Sweetcheeks: Did you go download some "Sex On Fire"?
*looks away*
Ahem...nope, not yet. I'm busy watching this particular part in my Elegies DVD that has almost naked band members parading around onstage. It's almost hypnotic...and just...grrrr
So far I've have downloaded some WT, SaraLee, some more Beseech, and some songs from relatively new bands. I've been on a really high Itunes kick lately, hehe.
I go back to school on Tuesday, but it seems I don't have my first hour class on Thursday, so it means I can sleep in for a bit and start on my birthday weekend early(Yeah, I know I've been bragging a little, lol)
My little brother just got back home from Florida, and my suspicions were correct: He now has two spanking new tattoos on both of his wrists.
Not fair >_<
Use Somebody is another favorite. Alright, l have to stop. Anywho EP, what else is on the menu for this evening?
BC where did you go?
A Rose for Emily...
Oh boy, I'm gettin' flustered just talking about them. LOL!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I bet I know what you're going to dream about when and if you do get to sleep!
;)
I have no doubt sweetcheeks will dream about chasing her Lust Bunny!
I finally remember who Caleb Followill reminds me of (vocally).
ERIC MARTIN!!!!
I always did love that man's voice!
Still here emily
Oh by the way, thanks for the link Anon616. That was some yummy eye candy. Tee hee, Tee hee!
Look at me, squealing like a little girl. Now I have to stop.
BC what do the tats look like?
A Rose for Emily...
oh neat BC what are they of?
emily I will be having some wine with the tacos
I don't ever eat dessert normallly, I'm not a real sweets person
last night I made Chicken Korma curry with naan bread, and tomorrow will be pork hedgehogs (meatballs of ground pork and rice, cooked in tomato soup)
Sugarplum, I've just read that Tony Bennett is gonna be at the Jazz Festival. Is that true?
Poo, I wish I could go
Well, suddenly I'm not so upset about losing sleep cause I know what I'll be dreaming about later on Anon616. Your too funny!
A Rose for Emily...
Emily, Wendy is correct, we can both squeal like little girls together :)
The tattoos consists of a lion's face. They don't look too bad, but he just has the outlines, it still needs to be colored in.
And the other day I just got an idea of how I wanted my shoulder tattoo to look like from looking at some pictures posted on Kat Von D's myspace. Yippee.
I have no doubt sweetcheeks will dream about chasing her Lust Bunny!
------------------------------
That's not even the best part, sugarplum. The best part is that he's almost naked in the DVD, and I can see it whenever I want. You can pretty much see everything ^_~
See that's my downfall EP! I love sweets especially chocolate. I can't go without it and not the good healthy kind, (cause for some strange reason I'm allergic to that too) its the gooey milk chocolate, goes straight to your thighs kinda of chocolate.
A Rose for Emily...
well I have some choc brownies you'd looooove emily!!
my weakness on the other hand is potato crisps, and anything like cheese, olives etc
Emily, I love love love chocolate! If I could, I would have been happy to live in a chocolate factory.
Sugar free chocolate is not that bad, but it kinda takes a while to get used to the taste
You're welcome! Eye candy's the best kind, Em! It doesn't rot your teeth!
Unlike that cereal and those pop tarts I sent to Ergo. Umm... you aren't going to send your dentist bill to me, are you Ergo?
Sweetcheeks: YES!!! Tony Bennet will be there too! And Bon Jovi! I'm excited. I wish you could be here too!!!! Hopefully it won't turn into "slop fest" number 5!
Oh God! Look at us, chatting about half naked rockers and large quantities of food/chocolate. This is definitely a female heaven.
You know what's even more funny Leon means Lion in spanish and your brother BC, just got a tat of a lion. Look how that all came full circle, that is too funny!
A Rose for Emily...
I'm always up for a good serving of eye candy and chocolate. Either way its quite the delightful treat for the eyes and the tummy =)
Yummy, Yummy, Yummy!
A Rose for Emily...
you hit the nail on the head emily!! lol
wendy I won't I promise ;]
BC there is no point to chocolate if it is sugar free, and don't even get me started on carob!!!
half naked eye candy
and looking pretty good clothed eye candy
Anything that is sugar free just doesn't leave you feeling satisfied. I've tried sugar free everything and it just leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
A Rose for Emily...
Bleeding Chaos said...
and I can see it whenever I want.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
0_0
Well, being able to see it whenever you want is always helpful!
;)
Is your brother one of those big, macho men who insist getting a tattoo doesn't hurt? I always love the honest ones. The ones who say "HELL YEAH it hurt"!
Can I have some red wine with my chicken tacos and brownies, Ergo?
Do you have any tattoos, Em? I am a tattoo virgin! My skin is as pure as it was the day I was born. At least something still is!
;)
Yum, Yum, Yum...
I love Gerard Butler. I know a lot of women loved him in 300 and I did too, but I thought he looked so gorgeous in P.S. I Love You.
A Rose for Emily...
sure can wendy! red wine is always available here as well as white
most sugar free stiff has sweeteners in it that knowing the chemistry I wouldn't want to consume
like phenylalanine
if it has a warning on the pack, I don't think it constitutes food
Hahahaha. and if you want my opinion, his almost bare butt is not too bad looking either ;D
Sugarplum, frankly, big macho men do run in my family. I have mostly brothers, and they think that if a man cries, he's a sissy. You can kinda see where I might have gotten my behavior from. I grew up around guys.
I have a older bro who's just covered in tats. Apparently, one of my nephews is also getting one, and I have two nieces who already have a few tats themselves.
Ergo, absolutely agree about sugar free, it amazes me at how many choices are out there it's hard to pick!
Yeah, I'm a tattoo virgin myself. The funny thing is I've always wanted one, but I could never decide on a visual that I could live with for the rest of my life. There is just so many beautiful pictures and symbols that the list for me just became endless. Plus, I'm a big crybaby. To be honest, I probably couldn't handle the pain.
A Rose for Emily...
Gerard is gorgeous in anything, but I prefer him less buff than in 300, I like a more natural look, like the pic
Holy smokes!!!! Look at those thighs!!!!
Well, I suppose I found what I would dream about tonight. If only I could! Chocolate would come into play somewhere, I'm sure.
;)
Thank you for that Ergo!!!!
And, on that note, I must be off for awhile.
It's been fun Sweetcheeks, Ergo and Em!!!
Ya'll have a goodnight. You too Mayo and SS.
Goodnight and sweetdreams to one and all!
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

Hi PJ, Pants, SIM, Trig, Andrea and The Right Anon!
Emily,
I thought Gerard Butler looked so gorgeous in Dracula 2000. Who cares if the movie was bad, he was just hot playing Dracula! ;D
Goodnight sugarplum, sweet dreams *blows kisses*
above there stiff= stuff
lol
I have a tattoo on my right foot, and will get one on my left, but anywhere else I couldn't pick something I'd want forever somewhere that visible, but I love the artwok people have, like elenas new one
I'm getting a snail on my left foot (after my dad draws it)
and they most certainly do hurt (but it's bearable)
I think I'm gonna call it a night as well. I need to try to get plenty of rest.
Goodnight emily, ergo sweet dreams
You crack me up Anon616. See you later and I hope to chat with you soon.
EP, didn't you love his accent in P.S. I thought it was so charming.
A Rose for Emily...
BC
gerard --> dracula --> bite neck
*swoon*
sweet dreams!!
Goodnight BC.
That's quite fantasy Ergo.
A Rose for Emily...
oh emily his accent *dies*
goodnight wendy *smoooch* sweet dreams
Ergo, lol yes!
Goodnight anon, goodnight everyone!
I've always wanted a symbol of my zodiac sign on the back of my neck but then I thought well if I go on an interview that wouldn't look.
And then I wanted to place it on my inner wrist but then thought the same thing, it wouldn't look professional. I just don't if I'll ever have the nerve to actually do it. Any suggestions EP?
A Rose for Emily..
I meant look good, darn typos.
A Rose for Emily...
that is why I like the feet
I could still teach without it being an issue
(I got it when women having tatts wasn't so common)
and I can dress up and it doesn't affect the look of a dress or anything
I need to be able to look professional so that was a big part of my choice, it shouldn't be a big deal to people, but it can be, so that's why I chose that
Maybe that's something I'll consider.
Well, since were on the subject of men tonight, remember that guy I told you about that I had crush on. Well, I finally got the chance to see him and I smiled and he smiled back.
And, now we have this really weird awkward smiley flirty thing we do when we see each other, but we still haven't established any real form of conversation. And he is so gorgeous that every time I attempt to talk to him I just loose my nerve. I need help. LOL!
A Rose for Emily...
hey well a smile is a good start!!!
have you said "hi"?
if he's a bit awkward too it might mean he feels as odd about it as you do
or you could just drop something
or say "nice shirt" or something sort of in passing
We've said hello but that's usually the extent of our conversations. We get coffee at the same Starbucks, we stand at the same counter, say hello and then that's it. Its so sad, but I live for those brief encounters every morning.
I don't know if he's shy like me or if he's just always in a rush. And I do want to say something to him but there's just something about him that just gets me so tongue tied. Its silly but I've never felt like this over any other guy. Is that sad or what?
A Rose for Emily...
no it's not sad, it happens and it's lovely
but confusing and frustrating
just try and pick something simple to say, like a compliment,(everyone loves those)like "I like your shirt/tie/shoes" or a comment about the weather, the store
something you could say to anyone in line with you, you could even practise on some random strangers at other stores, get used to just saying something
I had a lady say she loved the ring I wear on my right hand, led to a nice little conversation while we waited
That's true, I could try something like that. I just wish he didn't make me so weak in the knees. Look at me, I'm just such a little school girl. LOL!
Anyhoo, how those tacos coming along?
A Rose for Emily...
I'm waiting for my hubby to get home, he's later than usual so I hope he's home soon
I hate when he doesn't call and let me know
Oh, maybe he's stuck in traffic?
Wow, all I can say is, it has been quite the chat. Chocolates, Tacos, and Men. Just how I like it. LOL!
A Rose for Emily...
I'm hoping he's called in to see someone and lost track of time, he does that at times
Don't worry, I'm sure it could be anyone of those things.
A Rose for Emily...
thanks
I have to go anyway
it's been lovely talking to you
take care and sweet dreams
Well, Ergo thanks for the advice. My plan is to put as many of it into action ASAP! As for the tasty treat ideas, it will probably inspire a tasty lunch for tomorrow.
It's almost 5AM and finally I am starting to feel a little sleepy. So I will have to say good night/ good morning to anyone who is still reading this and is logged on. I don't want to leave you feeling worried, I'm sure your hubby will be home soon eating your very tasty dinner.
Until next time, or if you want to send me a note you can always twitter me Ergo. I hope to chat with you soon. Take care and God Bless.
A Rose for Emily...
Holy smokes (again)!!!!
Ergo, Sweetcheeks and Em: Guess what? Go ahead! Guess!!!! Give up? Okay, I'll tell ya'll.
Mr. Big is back together!!!!!!! I am just so surprised and happy about that. Boy, I've really been asleep at the wheel, haven't I?!
I LOVE ERIC MARTIN AND MR. BIG!!!
This was them back in '91 (in Tokyo):
The drill! I love it!!!!
^Daddy, Brother, Lover and Your Little Boy^
And, this was them (Eric Martin, Billy Sheenan, Paul Gilbert and Pat Torpe) in San Francisco sometime in the 90's:
Hanging out with Janice,
Moving to Atlantis...
Could'a made it if you tried....
Little legend baby try your very best to hide,
Green tinted sixties mind
And... this was them (same line~up/same song/acoustic version) last month in Tokyo!!!
Still amazing! Simply AMAZING!!!!!
Em: I would definitely go with Ergo's advice. How about asking him for a coffee recommendation as well. Tell him you're getting tired of your usual and want to try something new!
;)
Hopefully we'll all get to chat again soon!
Okay, I'm going try to get some sleep now.
*blows kisses to blog believe*
hubby is home now, I was a smidge worried, he's been told to RING ME if he's going to be late
good luck emily!!!
*too excited to sleep now*
Ergo: I'm glad Mr. Ergo made it home safely! Enjoy the tacos and have an extra glass of wine for me. It might help me sleep!
;)
Okay, perhaps just ONE MORE Mr. Big (newly reunited) acoustic song/video will do the trick...
Hee~Haw! Jump into the fire,
Keep our love Alive n kickin
Incredible!!!
Well, maybe I'll just go hunt for Voodoo Kiss too!
OH!! had to say, as I jumped in the car to check he wasn't at a neighbours who I couldn't get on the phone, what song had just come on the radio as I started the car????
"Sex is On Fire"!!!!
I KID YOU NOT!!
it must be an omen for something, though what I don't know, unless it was to tell me not to worry...(he was home when I got back)
but totally utterly awesome coincidence
and the tacos were delish (but I had beer instead of wine)
HA! I found it!!! Did anyone doubt my video/song finding capabilities for even one second?
;)
Here it is:
Voodoo Kiss!
^They had that Mojo working^
They still do, in my humble opinion!
Okay, that really is the last one. I'm sure everyone is getting tired of watching me amuse myself.
Goodnight everyone!!!!
LOL, Ergo!!! It's an omen! A good one, I'm sure!
*goodnight smoooooooch*
0_0
Wait just one second. "Sex On Fire" playing in the car. 616 (that would be me) posting at 6:16...
This just keeps getting better, doesn't it??!!
Unless...
*cues creepy music*
... Kass was correct a year ago and I will bring about the destruction of the world!!!
Uh~oh....
Well, if I have to destroy the world soon, I suppose I really should get some sleep!
:P
Sweet dreams!
Mayo
I hope you've had a good weekend and are ready to begin the week. I had a nice enough monday, except for a flat battery an d a bit of worry a bit ago. But you get that. I have just watched a show about Weird Al Yankovic and then Mighty Boosh so now time for me to have a nice shower and a sleep.
Take care mayo, and I will think of another song for you soon, just need to get into the right groove. Wait and see what I come up with
much love EP xx
SS
have a good weekend? I hope so. It always seems too short a time, I think the week should be half and half, that would be far nicer. People could just mellow out a bit longer, wouldn't have so much time to be stressed at work, I think it could be a good thing. You with me?
Wonder if my boss would see it my way, can't imagine there'd be any complaints from the students!! lol
take care lotsa love EP xx
goodnight blogbelieve, see you in my morning
♥xx♥
fasc, happy UK mother's day!! Hope you had a good weekend, with some nice stuff to make up for the cleaning (*looks at lounge floor with pencils, paper, drawing stencils and an empty cup* know exactly what you mean)
sdock hope your week is a good one, enjoy monday!
take care all who pass through, I've a full day tomorrow so i'll call by when I can
wendy
O_O
- scary!!
Hi guys, thanks so much for all the birthday wishes.

Thank you for my pressie Wendy sweetie. And the others too.
Thank you to the anon on 20th march at 9:08am. I like the smiles.
Happy belated birthday to Carrie husband. Hiya T!!!!
It was great to see magic pie back around this way. Hiya sweetie.
It was great to see a rose for emily back this way too. Hiya sweetie.
Bye for now. Catch you later.
xxxxx
good morning all
hi missT have a good day
Hiya Ergo sweetie, how are you?
My day was OK as far as trips to the dentists go.
hi ergo! hi miss T!
hi everyone!
hope we are doing good?
oh and hello mayo! and hello SS!
i am watching a sky plussed programme of Bono and The Edge on Gonzo with Zane Lowe. I totally undersatnd why anyone would want to punch Bono in the fucking head for being fucking Bono! God knows how the rest of the band puts up with him! i've cringed atleast 5 times in the last 20 mins but i love the guy! he doesn't give a shit if he embarrasses himself by being twatlike, and he knows he is. i respect him for that.
haha the cheese has come out. I remember GW saying he loved Cheddar. i think it was that? i always loved that Gonzo bit with GW where Zane tickled him. Warner no doubt have removed that video as they are a bunch of ..... yeah you know what i mean.
that would be understand
sorry!
Hiya FASC sweetie, how are you?
I don't like bono. He tells everyone else to give money for Africa then takes his money and puts it in countries' banks that means he doesn't have to pay taxes.
He's a two faced bastard. He's a money grabbing bastard.
But that's just what I think. If you love him, I'll still love you sweetie ^_^
that's cool miss T.
i honestly don't know enough about his African work to be able to defend him. i don't know the facts. i think he does care though, enough to have invested 20 plus years of his life trying to make a diference. but when you're rolling in money, it'll never be easy to look like you really care. i get that anyway.
just speak your mind though miss T! haha!
i'm good babe. thanks for your help this weekend! although we fucked up all on our own didn't we?! we don't need anymore shit results!
oh and how was the dentist?
yep it's removed by warner!
fuckers.
The dentists was OK sweetie, just took 15 mins for my teeny filling.
LOL you did muck things up royally this weekend.
Liverpool did well though *ducks to avoid thrown object*
Is that removed on youtube FASC?
hey fasc! missT I have to go to work I've been getting ready
Hope I can catch you another morning, I have a full early start day today
btw I agree Bono comes across as so up himself, which is a shame as he doesn't have to be like that and could still get his message across
and yeah the money to avoid taxes, that do pay for services for people in his own country is a bit hypocritical
He does a lot of good work, but he is obviously looking after himself a lot
Just a quick note -
I know there are a lot of good people here who would want to know -
OP L is very ill in the hospital. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
Thank you.
Best thoughts on their way to OPL.
Hi and Bye Ergo, have a great day at work sweetie.
Hiya Elena sweetie, how are you?
That is awful news about L. Please let us know how things go. I am sending her my thoughts and best wishes. Thanks you for letting us know.
Liverpool did well though *ducks to avoid thrown object*
fuck you! haha!
Is that removed on youtube FASC?
yep youtube miss T.
hey ergo you are working hard! roll on Easter hols!
re Bono, i guess we don't know the full facts. i'll always have a soft spot for him, he was like my father figure crush, big time! not so much now, but he used to be.
ergo i wanted to say that those two French and Saunders clips you posted for mayo and SS a few days back, hahahaha fucking excellent! the porn one had me laughing my fucking arse off!
have a good day ergo!
elena what's going on with Lisa??
shit that threw me.
obviously sending my love to her.
Youtube is being an absolute bitch to us brits.
i know miss T, can't watch Kings of Leon official vids either!
i'm worried about L. we've had some shitty ass bad stuff going on at the blogs of late. i know that's life, but there's been alot of bad news.
oh fuck i have to go!
well thoughts are flying out to OPL, i am worried.
i'll refresh a few times before i have to really go, but i've gotta do my winding up.
seeya everyone.
mayo and SS you too!
♥
Nighty night FASC.
I hope we get some good news back on L. I have all my fingers crossed for her.
I've e-mailed FASC
seeya miss T!
thanks elena, will go read.
nighty night all.
Thanks for letting us know about L, elena. I hope she gets better soon.
Hi miss t, how are you my fellow pizza lover?
Hiya BC sweetie, how are you?
I just had pizza tonight as a matter of fact and it was gorgeous.
thinking of and praying for lisa
♥
What kind of pizza did you have miss t?
I'm doing okay I guess, just feeling a bit pukey. I found out that I have to go to a birthday party at some country club in another month, and that I have to dress *nice*
Ugh. Dressing nice is not my forte.
I had a margerita BC, my fave.
LOL I hate dressing up when I really don't feel like it. It makes you uncomfortable all night. You never know, the party might be worth the effort.
That sounds delicious miss t!
I kinda wish I could get out of it, but I can't because it's a family birthday, and I've never been to a country club before, so I guess it's something new to try out, but I guess I have to worry about making first impressions or something.
As long as they have delicious food, then I guess it doesn't matter. I just wished I didn't feel blah. I had too much soda today :/
Hahahaha overdone the soda sweetie. I must damit I've had a lot today too.
I've never been to a country club either. You'll have to tell us what it's like.
And I was supposed to start on some diet already, but here I am drinking a lot of diet pop. Shame on me.
I sure will Miss T. As for that first impressions thing, that's bullshit. I don't really try to impress someone. I'm more of a "what you see is what you get" kind of person. I'll be there just stuffing my face like the hog that I am, and if there's cake, all the more better ^_^
Good thing though is that I got a month and a half to get myself into shape. I can't believe I let myself go.
LOL you just gotta stuff yourself at these things. Unless the food is unedable posh rubbishe cos they are just showing off.
I thought you were gonna get that gym thing sorted girlie.
rubbishe = rubbish hahaha
hahaha, I'm still working on that gym thing miss t. A week into it. There's some progress, but not much, lol.
How is your workout coming out?
Mine's going quite well actually. I'm back there on weds. I do a little bit more on the running machine every time I go.
That's great to hear. I wish you the best of luck with the workout routine.
Thanks sweetie. Dunno what my motivation will be like this week though cos I walk there and back and last week was lovely sunshine and this week is gale force winds.
I hear you. Weather sometimes can fill you with energy, but there's days where you might feel too lazy or unmotivated to work out. I'm just thankful that now since it's spring, there'll be more sunny days ahead.
I want to put my winter coat away but it ain't happening at the moment.
how's the weather overthere miss t?
Right now it's very very windy and we had a huge downpour earlier.
That sounds yucky miss t. Temp-wise it's not that bad here, but it's cloudy and windy outside. It's supposed to storm today I think. It hasn't been that bad lately, I admit.
Well, we had lovely summer days last week so I thought winter was over but it came back.
Anyway, it was lovely chatting sweetie but it's after midnight so I am off.
Nighty night BC sweetie.
All my thoughts go out to you L.
xxxxx
elena whats wrong with l :(
Goodnight miss t, sweet dreams. It was nice talking to you too.
anon
:(
L is in the hospital and is seriously ill. please just keep her and J in your thoughts and prayers.
Is there anyone here?
For anyone in the UK who can't watch youtube vids of KOL, here is a really good picture of Caleb.
I love KOL for their music, but Dayum, that boy is fine. ;)
lots of healing energy to l., and keeping her and j. in my thoughts.
thank you for the news, elena.
back in a bit.
To those who wanted to know, I just got an email from Wendy concerning an update on L's condition. As of now she is in an induced coma apparently caused by heart failure, but nothing is certain as of yet.
Please keep her and J in your thoughts.
I hope to fuck it isn't heart failure.
I hope not either Amy. I really hope not.
Carrie, no worries.
i was hoping to come back to good news.
praying for her and j.
We're all hoping Teej.
-A
hello, amyranth. yes, we are.
that's a very good idea, carrie. all i have with me is my devotional candle, but i'm going to go light it now.
*starts lighting candles in Mayo's living room*
I'm gone for the night. See you in the morning.
good night amyranth.
Goodnight amy, sweet dreams. hey tj
hello bc. thanks for giving us further news.
I hope that L's conditions is just a momentary set back. I am praying that she gets better. J hang in there as well
*pauses in the doorway*
*walks over to the stereo, and cues up a CD.*
TRACK 12 - PAUSE
Hi everyone,
I know I haven't been around for a long time, but as soon as I heard about Lisa, I thought I should drop by.
I have a candle lit for her, and I'm sending all my love.
I hope you're all doing well, you're still in my thoughts.
I have a lot of respect for both L and J, they have always been so good to me, like family.
You've all been very good to me actually.
Mayo, SS, I've missed you guys too, do I really need to say it?
I'm sure all will be well soon.
Love, and more love, cupcake. xoxo
hello, martha.
hello, cupcake -- it's good to see you again. *hugs*
It's good to see you too TJ, *hugs*
How are you?
