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.

«Oldest ‹Older 2801 – 3000 of 4847 Newer› Newest»Let's hope the smell from my armpits won't stick up the place, hehe.
You're welcome J :)
mayo,
tomorrow is friday and oh am i so glad for it. it has been a long week, here of course and also out in the world. i think i'm happy right now halfway just because the end is in sight!
it hasn't been all worry, though. i really do enjoy my job, and the people there make it fun as well as interesting. the co-worker i was texting with tonight is the best of the bunch -- she is so funny and such a big flirt. she's making all my self-assumptions go wonky.
this little town might be a bigger adventure than i thought.
*heh*
but the thing is, she's almost half my age, not a big deal in itself, but sometimes it's obvious she can't imagine things ever being different. i want to and try to tell her how you never know what's going to happen tomorrow, but she just doesn't have the scope to see that.
and it makes me realize how we allow ourselves to make our own prisons, and how i can't ever allow myself to slip into that kind of thinking again, because i know things change. i'm actually working on my third major change (and all of them in the last seven years) -- cancer, divorce, and now this one, whatever it's called. midlife crisis? homelessness? road trip aftermath? *grin*
damn, isn't it exciting?
well, maybe it's actually a second adolescence, because if i don't get off this computer i'll be in danger of being grounded. *heh*
good night, mayo. sweet dreams, and i hope your friday brings you a bit of whatever lifts your heart.
Wash in Listerine, BC, that shit kills any germ it meets.
I am glad you're feeling better
and time zones always get me too, I just ahve to remember "my afternoon = their late night "
"my late night = their morning"
lol
*passes BC deodorant, just in case*
goodnight TJ sweet dreams
Thanks ergo ^_^
Hahaha, thanks J. Actually....I applied two deodorants earlier today :p
Ergo, at this point, I'm happy to remember what time zone I'M in, let alone you! hahaha
So, let me rephrase: what movie are you going to see? Later, after dinner, tonight.
the plan is to see Watchmen
which I hope will be as good as I've been told
Oh yeah, now I remember reading your comment about it. We were going to go see it this week, but, uh, you know what happened.
ah you'll both get to it soon
or smuggle a pirate dvd copy into ICU
lol
do you know if my flowers got there?
I really need to get to bed, so I'm going to say goodnight now.
Goodnight Ergo and BC, hope you have great days/nights!
Goodnight Mayo, sleep well.
love, faith, hope, peace, happiness
No, sorry, Ergo. I don't know. There apparently was some confusion about who was supposed to call who today. And I think because Lisa's been stable for a couple days with no changes, they figured no news was good news. But I'll find out tomorrow and see if Elena will leave you a note.
Goodnight J, sweet dreams. Love to you and L.
goodnight J so good to talk to you
take care of yourself
thinking of you both
(can the family say you can get ICU info? like give permission? I know it's always policy but maybe ?)
i'm off for the night as well. Goodnight ergo.
no probs J I assume interflora does their stuff, I used the address you gave
I have another parcel to send over soon too (when I have some time to get to the post office!)
take care , thinking of you and sending you heaps of good relaxing vibes
goodnight BC sweet dreams
SS baby,
Thank you. I can't think of a way to say it better. (Actually, I can, but we can talk about that later.) You cheered me up, as did the girls; you comforted me too.
I do have to say, though, that your being kind to me isn't the only reason I love you. There's a lot of reasons. I think you know them, or at least some of them.
I'll be back tomorrow, maybe so will you. Here's hoping.
Goodnight, Precious. I love you.
My heart to yours, always.
I'm off to get ready
goodnight mayo and SS
I'll catch you tomorrow
xx
goodnight all
♥xx♥
I begin each day
And complete each end.
I am the end of every word
And the beginning of every dream.
ooh tricky one!
i am shit at riddles. it doesn't mean i don't enjoy reading the answer, and then i'm like "Oh yeah, of course!!" but my brain just can't suss it!
morning mayo! have a fabulous friday!
SS!! lovely to see you around. infact i barely acknowledged your presence yesterday as i was in a deep intellectual discussion with ergo and elena *coughs* sorry bout that! anyway nice to see you and take good care of yourself!!

2828
is that good? looks nice though, all neat but rounded.
Hiya Mayo! Hiya SS!
Mayo,
So nice to see you around the other day! And needless to say, I agree and I'm sorry. I miss what it used to be and I'm sorry it's not. Hope you have a lovely weekend and go see The Haunting in Connecticut! Why? Cuz I am! Whooohooo!
SS,
*high fives*
Nice to see you as well! Hope you are doing okay!
Later taters!
♥
In for a minute, but it's a good minute:
Lisa's been awake since about 6.30 this morning, and is responding to everyone there with nods, etc. I'm getting ready to go to the hospital, so I'll let y'all know more later.
YOWZAH!!!
SS: again, really good to talk with you last night.
Everyone: keep up the prayers and such! They're working!
Catch you later!
That's great news J. Thanks for letting us know. :)
Tell L get well soon for her blog friends.
SS: again, really good to talk with you last night.
in case you didn't notice he didn't talk to you OPJ.
Be A Friend
Be a friend. You don't need money:
Just a disposition sunny;
Just the wish to help another
Get along some way or other;
Just a kindly hand extended
Out to one who's unbefriended;
Just the will to give or lend,
This will make you someone's friend.
Be a friend. You don't need glory.
Friendship is a simple story.
Pass by trifling errors blindly,
Gaze on honest effort kindly,
Cheer the youth who's bravely trying,
Pity him who's sadly sighing;
Just a little labor spend
On the duties of a friend.
Be a friend. The pay is bigger
(Though not written by a figure)
Than is earned by people clever
In what's merely self-endeavor.
You'll have friends instead of neighbors
For the profits of your labors;
You'll be richer in the end
Than a prince, if you're a friend
by Edgar A Guest
I don't see anything in that poem about repaying your married friends kindness in suggestive ways. Or anything about dildos either.
A Time to Talk
When a friend calls to me from the road
And slows his horse to a meaning walk,
I don't stand still and look around
On all the hills I haven't hoed,
And shout from where I am, 'What is it?'
No, not as there is a time talk.
I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground,
Blade-end up and five feet tall,
And plod: I go up to the stone wall
For a friendly visit.
by Robert Frost
Tact
What boots it, thy virtue,
What profit thy parts,
While one thing thou lackest,
The art of all arts!
The only credentials,
Passport to success,
Opens castle and parlor,
Address, man, Address.
The maiden in danger
Was saved by the swain,
His stout arm restored her
To Broadway again:
The maid would reward him,
Gay company come,
They laugh, she laughs with them,
He is moonstruck and dumb.
This clenches the bargain,
Sails out of the bay,
Gets the vote in the Senate,
Spite of Webster and Clay;
Has for genius no mercy,
For speeches no heed,
It lurks in the eyebeam,
It leaps to its deed.
Church, tavern, and market,
Bed and board it will sway;
It has no to-morrow,
It ends with to-day.
by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Yes, coming on to your married friend is very tactful.
Who said SS was married? Who was coming on to him? Who isn't being tactful, compassionate or friendly now?
It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered.
It's typical that OPJ would take SS's kindness and concern for OPL and make it all about her.
Any excuse to throw herself at him. I don't know if he's ever said whether or not he's married but he HAS mentioned his SO before. First rule of sisterhood; you don't go after another woman's man.
Who said his SO was a woman?
Oh that's right I forgot. Frank and Gerard fucked in Germany. I forgot that OPJ spread that rumour.
I have to admit a strange dream I had about this blog the other night. I'm not here alot so it suprised me when I had it. But it was so weird.... I can't stop thinking about it.
It was about Wendy when she went on the attack. I don't know what she looks like but in the dream she had light blond hair, about shoulder length, and blue eyes.
In the dream, she was standing there screaming the words she used.... "CUNT! BITCH! CUNT! BITCH" but nothing else just those 2 words.
Her voice started to change. It started to get higher. As if she were on helium. THat's the only way I could describe it.
I became intrigued and scared but I couldn't look away. As I watched her, her eyes began to grow smaller. I remember that so clearly.
Then.... SHE began to grow smaller. She kept standing there yelling "BITCH! CUNT! BITCH CUNT' with a pause bewtween each word.
As she grew smaller and kept shouting those words, her voice got higher and higher until she was chirping them like a bird.
It seemed like it would stop but it didn't.
After all the waiting I got weirded out enough and I finally ran away.
I can't explain the dream. I don't know why I had it so long after the fact. Especially since when I read that rant I didn't think much of it.
I can't explain the symbolism either. But all of a sudden the dream is sticking with me in my memories!!
What does it mean?
You should avoid spicy food before bedtime???
*comes in and can't stop giggling ~ again*
LOL anon and Elena!!!!! I'm never going to get over this case of spring fever giggles like this!
Anon: I don't have a clue what it means. I actually think Elena may be wrong.
Perhaps you need more spice in your life!
You do have my look down pretty close. I am blondish (although my hair is longer than shoulder length). I do have blue eyes and I am a small (though fiesty) one!
;)
Although, for some strange reason, I do appear taller than I actually am (5'4 and a half)!
Here's me!
Here's more of me!
Here's me in black and white!
Okay, I hope that helps the visuals for your next nightmare! LOL!!!!
Ohhh... wait, ONE MORE!
Here's me without the big smile and wearing my new favorite hat!
And, Hello Mayo, SS and everyone else!!!!
I hope you all have a day filled with giggles! I just hope your doggies (if you happen to have doggies), don't stare at you like you've gone comletely mad because of all giggling!
Elena: I'm thinking I need less spicey food!
;)
Enjoy the day, everyone!
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

Hi PJ!!!!
PS: J ~ I hope Lisa was awake when you visited and I hope she's off that ventilator! Give her my love, please!!!!
Hello Mayo,
How are you around this time of year, I thought I would come and tell you what is happening in my life. I am going on holiday soon to see my family, totally cant wait cos I get to see my family again but also I will be planning a trip to O-TOWN to see my ickle sisters from another flipster ha ha, I think another o-town mayhem is in order. Would you like to join us, you could sit in the car and come eat twizzlers with us from Walgreens. Now that sounds like a plan whoop whoop. I hopefully get my car tomorrow, going to look at one and then I will be up up and away all over the country. I think that would be entertaining for sure.
Have you seen slum dog millionaire? I watched it the other day and was completely shocked. I know it is a movie but I realised that people actually live in the slums, go rummaging through the rubbish. I realised that I do take things for granted. Its madness.
Anyway, Hope you are well and you are keeping up appearances hehe, always look on the bright side of life and do not let anyone tell you what or who to do. That’s your own mind and sometimes, It is good to venture over to the dark side of town, maybe you could do that in O-Town, but beware of Princess driving in her car, she would run ya mo fo down lol.
Sorted, primped and a little tinkle goes a long way :)
Ohhh... wait! I think I figured it out, anon!
You somehow tapped into my visit with my doctor a few weeks ago. At which time he insisted I was, in fact, too small.
As for that hellium thing, well; I have been to Disneyland!!! Not recently and never to Disneyworld!
I would like to plant a (neither post nor pre) "hypnotic" suggestion in your mind, if I may. In the future you will dream of the "ponderings" I posted/wrote (every morning) for well over a year.
I would hate to keep haunting your dreams with my five year freak out!
I suppose I just might have to start posting those daily ponderings again. Now you've done it, anon! People are going to be so miffed at you for that.
;)
*blows kisses to blog believe while still giggling*
In that middle pic that she posted she looks like Elly May Clampett
(:
^_~
Hey
This all probably got lost in the madness and "zzzOMGzzz DIEEE!" junk so I am going to repost .
for lickety
1 lick for the road said...
I begin each day
And complete each end.
I am the end of every word
And the beginning of every dream.
Anybody knows the answer?
i think i do, i just read the riddle.
lickety riddle, is it the letter d?
just hopped on at the library to check my mail, and that always means a peek at the blog. :)
gotta go! i'm treating my sister to dinner tonight and she picked olive garden. :)
see you all later! bye blogbelieve, bye mayo!
e-hug for l. & j.!
HOORAY FOR L!!
She's awake!
Also, Hallo Teej! Enjoy the Olive Garden, I know I've been craving it lately! Bring me home some breadsticks, yez?
good morning!!!!
:D
oh wow L is awake that is fantastic!!
hi TJ good on you working out the riddle! I think that'd be it
and HI amy!
fasc from before- Watchmen was great, what a brilliant story!! We both thought it was great (maybe a couple of bits I looked away at, but that's just me), it was very thought provoking
Mayo,
I predict that Solly is gonna come in here and have one word for you.
Just wait.
You'll see.
Muwahaha.
Mayo,
Eyelids.
Try and keep yours. Open, shut, whatever, doesn't matter, just try and keep them attached to your body.
Even in death...yeah, find a mortician that won't go cutting them off and keep them in a box and stuff.
A good mortician is hard to find, apparently and dangerous as all get out too, when they have a master medium as their sidekick.
Ectoplasm.
Just letting you know...
That is all...eyelids and ectoplasm.
Have a nice evening.
Okay, so it was two words. I still told ya so!
Bwahaha!
Later dude!
I started off with just the one and then I had to throw in the ectoplasm because I've really never seen anyone throw up anything quite as awesome as that.
eyelids though...
*shudders*
*blinks*
BlogBelieve, have an awesome Friday evening!
L, keep on getting better!
*waves to Fimble Venoms*
*pulls her blanket over her head*
*opens a beer*
*turns on the hockey game*
*falls asleep*
Hi Everyone
Just popping in at halftime to say
KU is winning
Okay that's all
hello.
goodnite.
...and now i have a lionel richie song stuck in my head. thanks a lot, anon.
hello again
just had lunch and went to get my girl
hello? is it me you're looking for?
hey TJ
hello ergo. i read that you enjoyed "watchmen", yay! i had to look away from the screen a few times too, but the movie was well worth the discomfort, don't you think?
Tj is today's riddle solving winner. The answer was the letter "d". Congrats Tj. You have won a lifetime supply of donuts and coffee for dunkin' from Stardunk's Delicious Dunkin' Delights & Coffee To Wet Your Whistle.
'nite.
oh definitely was TJ the story was so complex and the relationships between the characters was fascinating, it really was a thought provoking look at humanity
booyah! the best prize ever! thanks lickety, and good night to you. :)
at one point in the film, ergo, i had the thoght that it was the "talkiest" superhero movie i had ever seen, and i loved that. i was never able to read the book all the way through -- i tried a few times but the violence in it scared me off (i was a lightweight). the movie helped me see the character arcs that i missed -- rorschach had always disturbed me before (that scene where he tries to rescue the abducted child? yikes), but i found myself respecting the character at the end.
definitely what i think of as a "meaty" film, if you understand what i mean.
I do TJ
Rorschach was probably my favourite character, you can see why he became the way he was. It is a very talky film, you really have to pay attention to it, and visually it is incredible, so many amazing effects and visuals, even if a couple of bits felt too graphic to me, I didn't feel it was gratuitous. The bits of humour were good too, it was odd seeing something quite shocking, then giggling at something else
hey did you get the song I sent you?
i did get the song, ergo, but i haven't listened to it yet. love the title though! :)
the violence in the film was difficult for me to watch, but i agree with you in that it never felt gratutitous, it always had a reason behind it.
the humor coming in at surprising moments actually reminded me of "the umbrella academy" -- there's been times that i find myself giggling at something that's actually quite horrible, but somehow the context makes it funny.
but i really did enjoy "watchmen", it's a very impressive film.
I am glad I went to see it
I got the song free from a band on myspace, I thought you should hear it seeing the title :]
They said to share it around, it was a xmas gift for their "friends"
i'll definitely listento it -- i've been compiling a playlist on my mom's computer and that's been taking up my time. i'm going to be buying my first mp3 player soon!
oh! you know what? i was at the local f.y.e. today and i saw a couple of cds by the living end! so i earmarked them and will go back for them next time. isn't that neat? i didn't think i would be able to get the cds except for special ordering them. :)
MSU kicked Kansas's butt, just sayin'.
Hi everyone
Just got off the phone with Jen. Her Internet is out so she wanted me to tell you all that Lisa is going much, much better.
I do not believe they kicked KU's ass. It was a close game.
It was a fun game to watch but of course I wish it had ended a bit differently.
oh elena that is great
and thanks for passing the message on
so KU didn't win today?
TJ that's great, I really enjoy the Living End, I like the rockabilly vibe they get with the double base, it's a unique sound, though I think I prefer their earlier stuff
Didn't mean it in a mean way, and yeah, it was close.
Hey everyone. Hi elena, that's great news
It was a good game wasn't it Anon? And I didn't really think you meant it in a mean way.
Okay, cool. I am so glad that Lisa is doing better, Goodnight all.
Hi BC
Well guess what I'm doing? I'm listening to sleet hit the windows. We are under a Winter Story Advisory. Probably gonna get 6 to 10 inches of snow. Crap I really thought winter was over.
very good news about l., elena, thank you!
hey there bc. :)
i have the two songs you gave me on my playlist, ergo, and sometimes it almost feels like two different bands. i'm looking forward to hearing more tracks off the cds.
Goodnight anon. Elena, what? you're under a winter snow advisory? I thought that would be over by now!
Hiya tj, ergo ^_^
good night anon -- i still don't know what game you guys are talking about lol.
more snow, elena? this has been a very odd year weather-wise.
hi BC
goodnight anon
wow elena more snow!! Is it an isolated system over you?
TJ I have "Living End" and "State of Emergency" their later albums are good, like the "White Noise" now, but less rockier the lyrics are less angry, more mellow. Still good but I like the rockier stuff
Night Anon
Hey BC I'll just send all this snow right on to you.
TJ it was a basketball game. KU won the championship last year but alas this year it's not meant to be.
elena, no thank you, lol.
rockier is always better, ergo. *heh*
oh, basketball. well, sorry to hear your team didn't make it again this year, elena.
was this a semi final elena?
SS
we all are, and it's great the updates have all been positive
Yep SS
I've loved sharing the positive updates. They just make me so happy when I get to post them.
i may have just fallen asleep at the computer. oops.
time to go, then, probably. good night everyone. sweet dreams.
Goodnight tj sweet dreams
goodnight TJ sweet dreams, don't drool on the keyboard
Oh and one more happy update
Lisa is doing so well that they plan on taking her off the respirator tomorrow.
excellent news elena.
Night TJ
Talk to you tomorrow.
Yep Anon it is excellent news, the best news.
oh that is fantastic sin't it anon! It's so good she is able to take these steps
I bet she'll feel better not being hooked up too
mayo,
lately i've been taking a lot of pictures -- i got the bug again with all those woodswalks last autumn, but these days it's the old buildings of this town that draw my attention.
i carry my camera with me every day, and wander through the alleys. there is so much beauty to be found in an old crumbling building, and so much mystery, too.
i'm posting the best ones over at my flickr account -- lachenlachen -- so that way i won't spam up your blog the way i did with all those trees. *grin*
but the neat thing is that one of my co-workers heard me talking about taking pictures, and she offered me a job. she's a dancer, and has been wanting to update her portfolio, and asked me to take the photos.
i'm excited to try it, to see what i can do with the human figure, and yes, to get paid for it!
but it was also a good reminder how things open up in our lives. opportunities bloom like flowers, it's just up to each of us to remain receptive to them.
well, that's what i think, anyway.
good night mayo. hope your saturday morning is spring and blossoms, no matter what the weather is.
oh, i bet l. will be so happy to be off that respirator! can't wait to hear how it went!
good night!
Goodnight tj. Elena, that's great news :D
wow TJ what a great opportunity! Hope it works out
and lovely pics, the cypress trees, ice buds, puget sound, the brickwork so many lovely images
goodnight guys
goodnight BC (only 2 sleeps 'till your birthday....:] )
Night BC
how's the snow elena?
...It's all right, it's all right, all right
She moves in mysterious ways...
Mayo
I had a moment of clarity today. I was going to work and while going down our driveway I looked over at the forsythia bushes. They were blooming, so very bright yellow and lovely and I suddenly felt very sad. I had heard about the approaching snowstorm and I knew that it would kill the flowers. I mean they just bloomed and it seemed so unfair. But then I realized that really that’s just how life goes sometimes. Just when you break out of your shell and bloom something happens to take it away. Crap, I do believe I’m feeling like a forsythia bush right now. I really thought I had come into my own, made my mark, thought I was somebody who had made a difference. But now not so much. Funny how someone else’s words could take that all away from me, isn’t it? Words that made me feel very unimportant and made me realize I’d been ridiculously optimistic thinking that I was anything more than just…oh nevermind.
Well the snow is starting to fall. The quick glimpse of Spring will soon be blanketed in white. I wish now I’d cut some branches and brought them in. I wish now I’d just learn to expect the inevitable. All I am and all that I was ever meant to be is someone playing a very unimportant role that ends up on the cutting room floor.
Night Mayo
Elena
goodnight elena sweet dreams, and remember those flowers may die but there are more just waiting to bloom when the storm passes
Please excuse me Lovely's. I have something to say to someone.
For You,
Hi.
I have a lot to say to you and I am afriad I will regret this, but I have to try and say it.
I do miss you, too. And I do respect you, greatly -when you deserve it. Just like everyone else. Just as I hope to be treated right back.
I wasn't trying to "fuck with" anyone. I felt I was calling you on your lame excuse. I understand you are in a difficult position. I understand that you don't want to be too greatly considered a role-model here. But, a few things...Do you not find it interesting that despite your wishes, words, actions, you keep getting put into a leaders role? I have always wondered why you felt that was such a bad thing. Whomever implied it was uncool to TRY and guide people (especially people that care about you) was not your friend. And I would certainly reconsider much of what that person(s) may have said to you. It is a rough position, but it isn't something to fear, or hate. It is a gift to be looked up too, even if it is only here in BlogBelieve.
Why do you suddenly care what rude anon's may or may not think or say of you? I know we all fall into that, so I can't be too upset at you for that. But it is a bad excuse, for ALL OF US. It happens... But expressing a simple thought to someone, I am cofident you have, shouldn't be too hard either. If it is, then something isn't right.
I never said F.U. to you. I said WTF to your words and actions. Having you twist that (as I did twist your words, I believe you do care about everyone. And I apologize for implying otherwise. I was upset.) and throw it back at me, hurt. Indescribably. I didn't remember just how little from you, could hurt me so much. I don't know why we are so, messy, when we try to talk to each other. I hate being defensive and fearing the worst before there is even cause. It can't be this hard for everyone else, just to talk.
I don't try to hurt you, or offend you, but I won't ever NOT TELL YOU (or anyone else) what I feel about something. It took me a long time to feel comfortable enough to speak my mind, I don't want to lose that. I won't lie to you and I won't tell you what I think you may want you hear. I am not a "Yes Man" or an ass kisser. Especially not with you. I was sure you knew that about me by now. If I ever become that kind of person, I hope that is the very day I stop breathing. And you know exactly where you can go if you want to be told you are never wrong.
Everyone makes mistakes. That is part of the ugly and the beauty of hummanity, it bonds us to each other. I am afraid of what we might become if we ever lost that honest connection, if we ever choose to give up awareness of it and stop embracing it. I still can't believe you would think I would be O.K. will not speaking to you honestly. I always did before. I don't understand why you would expect different from me.
I do miss you. I want you to know that. I think about you, I worry and I miss how you could overwhelm me, in every way. It really is something. And while I like the idea of being someone's escape, I don't think it is real. I don't like to play. And I don't think it is a solution. I want to be selfish and just enjoy the piece of you, you can offer. But I wish more, that you could find someone, in the life you seem to hide from here, that makes you feel Brave Enough. Brave enough to be with them. Someone that makes you feel, just happy, Free. Able to be completely true to yourself, your thoughts, desires, fears, everything. With trust and honesty -and desire for THAT. No matter what circumstance you may be in together. And I wish you would look for that person, some place where it is less easy to fake the meaning. I don't mean to imply that people here aren't true. Because I know that they are, true. But I don't want you to feel like you need an escape. I WANT your life to feel like you DON'T need to escape. I hope you understand me.
I never meant or want to hurt you, and I am sorry if I have. I am sorry too, if this is all choppy and makes little sense. I just wanted to talk to you the way I've always felt I should. Please don't look for me as an anon again, I won't be here. If you ever want to talk, you know where to find me. Good luck to you, my friend. <33
hmmm...
things have just made sense...night Lewis
Goodnight.
lewis, i don't want to confuse you. i'm not him. i'm sorry if i intruded.
goodnight, sweet dreams
No worries, 4:30. ;p
Ergo, I will drop you a note back when I can -I didn't forget ya. Hope you are good. I'm not hangin. Bye!
Ah, I should have added -it's just easier to say heavy shit when not signed in. I was pretty damn sure I'd be obvious as an anon. Pretty much always have been. Nighty night guys<3
no worries lewis, looking forward to hearing from you :]
btw you always speak from the heart and that is a beautiful thing
take care
don't understand what the face was for lewis.
i hope it all works out for you and whomever.
Mayo, I believe you owe 4:14 the courtesy of a reply.
Be a real man for once.
turned my lights off for Earth Hour
Mayo
here is a song I like which is a lesser known song by this band, but I think better than the one they are always known for. (or their hair)You get that? lol
Flock of Seagulls
Wishing (Photograph of You)
It's not the way you look,
It's not the way that you smile.
Although there's something to them.
It's not the way you have your hair,
It's not that certain style;
It could be that with you.
If I had a photograph of you,
It's something to remind me.
I wouldn't spend my life just wishing.
It's not the make-up
And it's not the way that you dance,
It's not the evening sky.
It's more the way your eyes
are laughing as they glance
Across the great divide.
If I had a photograph of you,
It's something to remind me.
I wouldn't spend my life just wishing.
It's not the things you say
It's not the things you do
It must be something more
And if I feel this way for so long
Tell me is it all for nothing
Just don't walk out the door.
If I had a photograph of you,
It's something to remind me.
I wouldn't spend my life just wishing.
sing along
interestingly this was used as a song for a group of guys in a UK reality show, who had to become a girl band, and they didn't do too badly, considering
much love EP xx
SS
here is a song for you, that I remember from the 80's and never really understood then either
Haircut 100
Love Plus One
I, I went off to the right
Without saying goodbye, goodbye
Where does it go from here?
Is it down to the lake I fear?
Ay ah ah ah ah ah
Ay ah ah ah ah ah
Then I call
Ring (ring) ring (ring) ring (ring) ring (ring)
La la love plus one
Ring (ring) ring (ring) ring (ring) ring (ring)
When I call love
Give love some soul
If I may be quite so bold
Where does it go from here?
Is it down to the lake I fear?
Ay ah ah ah ah ah
Ay ah ah ah ah ah
Then I call
Ring (ring) ring (ring) ring (ring) ring (ring)
La la love plus one
Ring (ring) ring (ring) ring (ring) ring (ring)
When I call love
Love plus one
sing along
lotsa love Ep xx
goodnight blogbelieve, see you in my morning
♥xx♥
hi fasc and sdock of you come by
take care all
so it seems lewis is one of the orginial watchers...
mayo thought lewis was (watcher)9, they obviously all gave themselves numbers. how many were there again? we know watcher number 7, they made a blog for us.
this raises a few questions...why would mayo know the watchers...mayo himself said he would only be recognized by a few close friends...
why was mayo disappointed when the anon from the other night turned out not be 9 after all. why would mayo say he missed 9?
why would mayo ask the person who he thought was 9 not to fuck with him? I find it very interesting that mayo knows the watchers, especially as the watchers don't think Mayo is GW. Maybe GV was part of a group of watchers who watched Loveman and so she made Mayo's as a response. Something to think about.
Goodmorning everyone.
Ergo, As the next in the world to do it, I hope you're enjoying the dark as much as we did during Earth Hour!
*that is not meant to sound the way it is coming off as!*
*or is it?* ;)
On a more serious note, belated condolences to Paperheart and Anima on the loss of your loved ones. So much sadness, but so much love expressed for you both, reading through here.I have a feeling I may have missed someone else and I do apologise if I have done so.
Happy late birthday to RW, FASC, MissT, and MJ.
To all whom I have missed mentioning, Happy Late Birthday to you all too!
Elena, Happy (Only Just Missed It) Birthday to you, you sexy tattooed woman.
Elena said, Funny how someone else’s words could take that all away from me, isn’t it? Words that made me feel very unimportant and made me realize I’d been ridiculously optimistic thinking that I was anything more than just…oh nevermind.
Stormy's birthday cake was a clear sign that there is a person in your life who loves you for who you are now, and takes note of what gives you pleasure. Her actions speak louder than anyone else's meant to hurt words.
You are not unimportant, and don't let anyone have the power to make you think so.
*hugs*
Socky, Your post the other day - that was just pure vintage you! A pleasure to read you again.
Wendy, thanks for your help with the phone number.
And, what accent? I thought that was you! lol
Lewis,
With both guns smoking from the barrel of your heart, love. Pure you.
Now read it, Condiment Dude!
OP J,
Wishing you the strength to get through your friend's ordeal, and that you have the support you may need. Sending much love and healthy thoughts to L, as she makes her way back to a safe and full recovery.
Kings of Leon Anons,
Wow, there are a few of you!
An interview with KOL from earlier this week. The cave Jared mentions is actually a series of former military tunnels, built into a dormant vocanic cone. He's lucky he made it out as locals still haven't located a broken up plane that has been lost in there for over 40 years!
Oh yeah, and the interviewer...I'm just sorry, okay?
A good solid concert, BTW. It's great to hear a band, and their lead vocalist, as strong on stage, as on their studio recordings.
Magic Pie, Cupcake - good to read you both again.
Hi PJ!
See you. =)
OMG I am beyond slow!
Well done Ergo, with completing your Earth Hour! Did you go all early colonial with candles, or did the family break out the pink Barbie torch. Where there be young girls, there be pink glitter torches. =)
Hi 7:54,
It's a great mystery, isn't it. =)
Catch you around.
7:54 you have given us something to think about. Mayo and Lewis romantically linked. Wow.
Possum -
God it's good to see you. I've miss you so much. Thank you for the birthday link. What a great way to start of a shitty cold and icy day. Please don't be a stranger.
Oh what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive

Why do you suddenly care what rude anon's may or may not think or say of you? I know we all fall into that, so I can't be too upset at you for that. But it is a bad excuse, for ALL OF US.
I think he did what he did not because he was afraid of the opinions of "rude anons" but because he was staying true to himself. To allow oneself to be bullied into making a statement would be showing weakness in character. The people trying to force something out of him are just the ones being "rude", in my opinion. His too, obviously.
Take a step back and try to look at things more objectively and perhaps you'll understand.
Sometimes our greatest strength comes from our weakness
Thank you for link to the KOL press conference clip, PP!
A good solid concert, BTW. It's great to hear a band, and their lead vocalist, as strong on stage, as on their studio recordings.
It always amazes me how good they sound live. Everything is always spot on: Caleb's voice, Matthew's guitar, Nathan's drumming, Jared's bass lines and Nathan and Jared's backup vocals. That is one talented family to be sure.
On a side note, (warning: fangirl moment) I'm not so sure I approve of Jared's new look. I know he's trying to lose the perception of being "baby", but I loved his longer hair, and he should never, ever cover up those big baby blues with dark glasses. I still love him, though.
I just think it is a shame he allowed himself to be manipulated by anons who were desperate that he should not offer any words of consolation.
Of course he could have just ignored them...
That's just my take on the whole thing.
Anyway, it is his blog and he can say what he likes to whoever he likes anytime he likes.
I just think it is a shame he allowed himself to be manipulated by anons who were desperate that he should not offer any words of consolation.
I don't think he did that. I think he refused to allow himself to be manipulated by anons who insisted that he should offer words of consolation.
Those kinds of things cannot be forced. They have to come from the heart or they are worthless.
It would be quite wonderful if people here would realize that they cannot force anyone to behave the way they want them to. People always tell Mayo what he should do and then they turn around and tell him what he shouldn't do. They try to tell people what they can and can't post here. Maybe they should just concentrate on the one person they can control... themselves.
Hi guys,
Haku had another seizure yesterday and I'm taking him to a neurologist on Monday to rule out anything else before treating him for epilepsy. He is just not himself and he's glued to my side since then.
Also, Granny K has to see a neurologist too for some other issues.
So that's that.
I'm home sick from school today missing my favorite class; I think I'm coming down with the flu or something, which is such crap because I never get sick!
So I'm extremely bored, worried, and sitting here watching my dog for the next time this happens. It's so awful when it happens to your own.
Anyway I'm going to go and "work" on my "project," LOL.*
*A twenty minute long video summation of Final Fantasy VII for anyone who wants to watch Advent Children but never played the game.*
Posers!*
*Just kidding.*
*Not really.
Hello K
Sorry to hear about Haku. I know how difficult it is to deal with an ill pet who is really an ill family member. A few years ago we had a dog that had cancer. The vet told us it wasn't that bad yet and to just watch until he seemed like he was beginning to hurt. I would just sit and watch him because I was so afraid he was in pain and I felt helpless. He did live for approx 6 months, a very happy life, before it was obvious the cancer was starting to be an issue. He was a huge German Shepard and the day he actually went down to the lower barn and in the soft earth dug a hole for himself to lie in was the day I realized he too knew what was happening. I love that dog. I still miss him.
Hope your Gran's appointment goes well.
Take care
It is such a helpless feeling. You want to will it away but you can't.
With Gran, there's really no cure bu I have some hope that there can be a treatment to at least lessen her symptoms which have become severe.
BTW I also had a German Shep; I grew up with one. They are beautiful dogs with huge lovely hearts and insanely strong jaws. :)
I love German Shepards. Gunga was a beautiful white Shepard. He was so smart and he guarded the girls so well. No one was allowed in the yard until he knew we were okay with them being there.
We got him at a local shelter. He'd been found wandering and I always wondered where he had come from and why his original owners didn't come for him but the day we got him was to be his last. He'd been at the shelter as long as they would keep him and was to be put down. My husband saw him first and told me to go by and see if I thought he would be a good dog for us to have. We were a bit worried because he was older and the girls were little. But when they opened the cage door he walked out and came right to me. He was so gentle and sweet.
Gunga is a cool name. And, white shepherds are so gorgeous.
Years ago at The Bad Place, one of the biggest fights I had with Dr. Dickwhistle was over a white shepherd named Jimmy. His owner abandoned him at the hospital. He was really aggressive to anyone but me and two of the other girls. Obviously this was Dr. Dickwhistle's responsibility (it was his hospital,) but he knew that I loved the dog and he kept threatening to euthanize him if I didn't find a home for him. OMG, he would hold this over my head every day, and make "tick tock" noises when I went to feed Jimmy or take him for walks. Then if Jimmy got turned down again, he would laugh and say, "Time's running out for your friend!"
God, what a douchebag. We fought so hard over that.
I ended up getting a place for Jimmy with this "dog whisperer" guy. It had a happy ending.
Sorry for the tangent!
There is a vet here in town that I won't step foot in his office because of something he did. At the time I worked next door to his office and saw a woman drive up with a dog that had been hit by a car. She told him she didn't know who owned the dog but she had seen him and just couldn't leave him by the side of the road. The vet told her he wouldn't treat the dog unless she agreed to pay for it. She wasn't willing so I offered to pay for the dog but at the time I knew I couldn't take the dog because I was still living at home and my parents didn't want a dog. But I promised to find him a home. That wasn't good enough. He said I to pay for the dog and agree to take him. While I was trying to explain that I would pay and find him a home the dog died. I've always cringed when I see that vet to this day.
Kapunua, did you hear that Gerard is working on the Final Fantasy thing?
GOD how disgusting. Some vets truly are just in it for the money. It's hard to find a good one. They turn cruel in really weird ways.
1:19, I heard he was doing background on some J-pop song in the re-release of Advent Children. That's about all I know and I just heard about it today.
Not that it matters much because Advent Children Complete probably won't be released in America (at least not on any system that i own or can afford--especially after all this stuff with Haku,) so I will do what I did with Advent Children original and just download it for free.
Besides, downloads are fansubbed and I like those better. I find they're more honest.
What does kind of blow, however, will be all the people who will probably jump on the FFVII fandom because of that, and they won't even have played the game or know wtf it is even about.
Damn stupid fangirls. They don't get to see my summary! ;)
Yep some vets are just in it for the money. Happily we have one now you truly loves the animals she treats. She's great.
It's a little weird. First Wastelands and Desolation Row, and now this video game that you are all always discussing?
It's good you found a good one. In my experience, female vets are more thorough. I've got a good one now, too (actually about thirty of them >_< ) and the difference is noticeable.
Haku is sleeping the day away today. I guess that's normal for after seizures. But I can't stop wondering when the next one is going to be. He was fast asleep right before the first two started.
I dunno, anon; I think that's getting into weird territory.
And speaking of, I'm gonna get back to my little geek project.
Sorry if I seem off lately. It's just, there is too much going on all at once.
K being a "little off" is understandable. It happens to all of us. I know you're going through a lot right now. Sending positive thoughts your way. Take care
Take care Kapunua, hope your game doesn't get ruined. :)
I thought it was a movie.
It is being released in America Kapu.
I looked it up.
I watched the trailer. I have to admit it's not my thing. The animation looks good though.
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete will be out in Japan later next month, and a North American release could be following closely. According to Blu-ray.com, the completed HD version of the film, with 30 minutes added to the running time, will be out June 7 and will contain dual English/Japanese audio (like the original release).
This is going to get some flak from you guys, I'm sure.
Gerard Way, the frontman for the band My Chemical Romance, is co-producing Kyosuke Himuro's song that will be the ending theme for the Final Fantasy: Advent Children Comlpete. Way wrote and composed the song, and sings some vocals, although Himuro is the main singer. The song, "Safe and Sound," will be replacing "Calling," the original 2005 ending song in Advent Children.
You can check out the song over on Himuro's website and let us know what you think. Personally, I like the bit that's previewed, but then again I'm a fan of My Chemical Romance -- and now I've probably just stopped 100 of you from ever reading my articles again. But for those of you who remained and want to rage about it, Way is already a pretty big geek, what with his Eisner award winning comic The Umbrella Academy -- it's a delightfully enjoyable read.
Well, let's hear your thoughts on all this in the comments.

Fans actually seem pretty upset that Gerard did this. I mean the game fans not MCR fans.
Why? What's the big deal?
There's a lot of "Now I'm not buying it" comments.
Why? I don't get it! It's just a song!

Christophart at 03/27/2009 21:59
ugh...
People seem upset that it's going to replace the original song.
Gamers are weird.
Mayo,
I'm hungry.
Any ideas?
O_o
I fully own that we are a little weird, and a little protective of "our" stuff.
I'm not pleased about all the squeeing Hot Topic, vest-wearing, scenester fankiddies that are going to be all "zzOMGzzz FINAL FANTASYYY!!!!" because of this. But hey, they are where the money is.
As far as changing the closing song, that blows, too. I didn't realize that they were replacing "Calling."
"Calling" is one of my favorite songs. I get all excited when it comes on my iPod shuffle in my car. It's a fantastic song that means a lot to me and has some great memories. Why replace it? I just don't get it. :(
Hi Princess!
I'm annoyed and in a bad mood.
Hey, why don't you eat some pecans? ;)
Awww, I listened to the link the anon put up at DM and I do like the song but I admit, I know nothing about Final Fantasy or any of that stuff.
Ohhh, pecans? I wish I had some but I don't. :(
Pooh!
Calling, - the original ending to Advent Children.
>_<
I only have a few pecans left. I'm just not gay enough. ;)
Seems that Gerard has to ruin everything for you Kapu. ;D
Bwahahaha! My yard is. Heeee.
That song is pretty awesome. I liked that.
Well, the weather sucks today. Can I say that Gerard ruined my Saturday? Cuz he totally did.
Plus, he's bringing up bad memories of me being sixteen and car shopping with my daddy. My daddy let me drive a red Trans Am with t-tops and then told me I couldn't have it because I'd drive too fast.
Hellooo!!!!! I drove a freakin' Bonneville and I would go thirty mph over the speed limit! Gah!
>.<
Meanie.
Yes; I totally love it. :)
And, no one can take Final Fantasy VII away from me. It was my bestie during sound down times and I have been the biggest FFVII fangirl for about ten years.
Tornado watches! Boooo!!!!!
Oh no! be careful? Or whatever it is you do when that happens?
I'm gonna bail for now, guys.
Catch you later.
Me too!
See you later, Jules!
Fans actually seem pretty upset that Gerard did this. I mean the game fans not MCR fans.
Why? What's the big deal?
----------------------------------
A lot of watchmen fans were pissed off that My Chem did the remake for Desolation Row(I don't think the song was all that great) as well, so it's not surprising to hear something like this.
Aaaand yet another trip to the emergency vet's later...
>_<
Haku has an injury on his incision site. It's probably from when he fell from his seizure.
The rest (the lethargy, the seeming "out of sorts" and the wandering,) all seem to be typical post-seizure behavior.
This all just sucks. I'm hoping for epilepsy at this point.
Monday Haku has to go for an MRI and spinal tap.
just popping in to say hello!
K sorry for all the stress with your doggy!
ergo so glad you enjoyed the movie. the only bit that kinda made me turn away was the dogs with the little girl's leg. not nice! but a great movie nonetheless.
SS hello to you! i missed you, but i think you were here again.
mayo hi to you too!
i think i've missed some stuff cos i read a bit earlier then had no time to comment.
lewis, you wear you heart on your sleeve, and i love you to bits.
for the record anons, lewis was never a watcher.
right that's me, it's nearly 10pm and the clocks go forward in old Blighty tonight, so that makes no odds really but we have to be up pretty early, so that will make it earlier.
take care guys!
PP, smashing to read you!
oh and belated hi to miranth!
I am not Mayo. I am not SS. I am not Lewis. I am not a watcher. I do like like writing riddles and handing out prizes. :)
Any news about L today?
Sending good vibes out for Haku
FASC so very good to see you!
Oh and I was amused earlier by the anon who thought Lewis was a Watcher. I know Lewis and as FASC said, she's never been a Watcher. And she does indeed wear her heart on her sleeve. It is just one of the wonderful things about her. Only problem is that can get your heart hurt easily.
Another original riddle by lickety split for anyone who wants to play.
