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.

Elena, I probably shouldn't have opened it then. We're now getting up to 30 cm of snow tonight, and I bet you it's because it all flew out of that box.

Heya ergo, elena.
Anon, what does TITS stand for?
Ah, the good old rules of the internet.
I need a shirt that says "#34 - There is porn of it, no exceptions."
BC, it's tits. You know, your breasts?
TITS OR GTFO is the common response to someone who is saying nothing of any value or interest to the current conversation.
It's pretty derogatory, but also quite amusing when used amongst friends.
*writes small sign saying "oh fuck"*
*holds it up with expression of immanent defeat*
*shadow becomes enormous*
*wonders how come she is suddenly standing on rocky outcrop over large cliff?*
#34 is my hubby's favorite.
He says - If it exsits there is porn of it.
I could explain 37 you know, I just did to my titoring student a couple of days ago
lol
what's weeaboo?
Ergo, a derogatory term for a fan of all things Japanese.
I don't know where it came from though.
Lol I know what tits are Amy. I got a pair of those :P
Thanks though. Have you gotten any snow yet?
Oh no my ears..
I have itunes library on shuffle and Captain and Tennille are on.

It doesn't stand for anything, Chaos. It just means tits. You know breasts, boobs, knockers, etc.

Oh Lord now it's Kung Fu Fighting. Will this madness ever stop?
LOL anon
yeah thanks anon. Hi and bye poof
every body was kung fu fighting
those cats were fast as lightning..
Thank you Ergo but now it's the Cars which I like so it's all good.
I am however afraid of what will come up next
my shuffle gets like that, I have so many 70's and 80's compilation albums on it
I hate you Ergo. Now I'm gonna have that song stuck in my head for the rest of my life.
Oh oh good song now
Fortunate Son by CCR
BC, Mister would be happier if mine were on my back, apparently..
:/
BC never stops amazing me with her stupidity.
I wake up every evening
With a big smile on my face
And it never feels out of place.
And you're still probably working
At a 9 to 5 pace
I wonder how bad that tastes
When you see my face
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell
Now where's your picket fence love
And where's that shiny car
Did it ever get you far?
You never seem so tense, love
Never seen you fall so hard
Do you know where you are?
Truth be told I miss you
Truth be told I'm lying
When you see my face
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell
If you find a man thats worth the damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool you're just as well hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
Tomorrow you'll be thinking to yourself
Where did it all go wrong?
But the list goes on and on
Truth be told I miss you
Truth be told I'm lying
When you see my face
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell
If you find a man that's worth the damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool you're just as well hope it gives you hell
Now you'll never see
What you've done to me
You can take back your memories
They're no good to me
And here's all your lies
If you look me in the eyes
With the sad, sad look
That you wear so well
When you see my face
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell
If you find a man that's worth the damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool you're just as well hope it gives you hell
When you see my face
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell (hope it gives you hell)
When you walk my way
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell (hope it gives you hell)
When you hear this song and you sing along well you'll never tell
And you're the fool I've just as well I hope it gives you hell
When you hear this song I hope that it will give you hell
You can sing along I hope that it puts you through hell
Just cuz its a damn good song
sorry 10:45 I did it to myself too!!
how about Dream Weaver
I believe you can get me through the night...
Wow this is weird
Now it's Snake on a Plane.
I love this song.
oh 11:03 I like that one!!
the video clip is good too
I am sick of these mother fuckin snakes on this mother fuckin plane!
good movie
LOL when you're over ten and you need your friends to explain what TITS are.....
But I think it's nice to see a village come to help their idiot. It is nice, how you all try to help her.
ooh, i love that song. the video is cute too. :)
hello everyone, i am writing this comment by the light of the computer screen alone. we just lost our power. :/
I haven't seen that movie, but I ahve seen the clip with that line and it is great
stfu 11:07.
ha! gotta love stfu
hi TJ
did they take Earth Hour a bit seriously there?
lol it almost seems that way ergo -- as if they meant to do it and then realized the hour had passed and so went a leeeetle bit overboard! but actually, the folks lose their power a lot, they are very susceptible to the vagaries of weather.
But I think it's nice to see a village come to help their idiot. It is nice, how you all try to help her.
Ok, that's really mean, but I lol'd.
oh and i would just like to say that because "tits" was in all caps it seemed like it was also an acronym. it was a case of misleading capitalization.
we get that too, being out of town storms, strong wind, small birds landing (lol) just about anything seems to knock it out sometimes
Well gotta go
Hey TJ sorry I have to leave
Take care all
I was wondering if it stood for anything, as well as meaning the obvious
internet types seem to do that a lot
bye elena take care, sweet dreams, see you tomorrow
bye elena! i hope everything is alright with you -- email me if you like, ok? take care, stay warm!
ergo, it can be a bit annoying, that's for sure! fortunately, the batteries were full-up on the computer, so i did not panic.
i would have been pissed otherwise. *heh*
it was a case of misleading capitalization.
lol
that's what i call funny. intentional or not.
Hallo Teej!
Maybe they should start putting kinetic batteries in laptops.
For my fourteenth birthday I killed a little girl.
I hate the overuse of acronyms, government departments especially seem to delight in making sure every flipping thing has some nifty acronym so in meetings I spend the whole time wondering what people are talking about, and asking my neighbours.
Add to that all that bloody "think outside the box" "brainstorming" "give 110%" (oh I hate that esp) "lets own this situation" trendy management catchphrases and I feel like screaming
"JUST FUCKING SAY IT NORMALLY!!!!!!"
*sigh*
excuse rant
I feel better now lol
hi amyranth! you mean batteries that would recharge every time you threw your laptop against the wall...?
*moves soapbox out of ergo's reach, just in case*
rant excused cuz its a good valid one ep. the worst one is "we work as a team here in xyz company". gags on that one
*slides soapbox back to ergo while tj looks the other way* heeheehee
*slides soap box from ergo and steps up*
JUST FUCKIN WRITE IT NORMALLY TOO
*slips soapbox back to ergo*
*senses something amiss*
*wants to rant about it but cannot due to missing soapbox*
damn!
oh yes anon!!
and the retchworthy "there's no "i" in team"
by someone about to tell you how to do it their way
*steps off soapbox*
ha! nice one ergo
*slips soapbox back to tj and smiles*
my soapbox!
*pets*
*folds it up and tucks it back under the couch*
oh aren't you going to rant TJ?
*remembers location of soapbox for later reference*
I hit the road out of nowhere
I had to jump in my car
And be a rider in a love game
Following the stars
Don't need no book of wisdom
I get no money talk at all
She has a train going downtown
She's got a club on the moon
And she's telling all her secrets
In a wonderful balloon
She's the heart of the funfair
She's got me whistling her private tune
And it all begins where it ends
And she's all mine, my magic friend
She says: Hello, you fool, I love you
Come on join the joyride
Join the joyride
She's a flower, I can paint her
She's a child of the sun
We're a part of this together
Could never turn around and run
Don't need no fortune teller
To know where my lucky love belongs,
Oh no
Cause it all begins again when it ends
And we're all magic friends
She says: Hello, you fool, I love you
Come on join the joyride
Join the joyride
Be a joyrider
I take you on a skyride
A feeling like you're spellbound
The sunshine is a lady
Who ROX you like a baby
She says: Hello, you fool, I love you
Come on join the joyride
Join the joyride
nah, i'm actually feeling pretty rant-free at the moment.
*slides soapbox from under sofa and steps up again*
i'm damn tired of obama's "yes we can" too.
only, it's not really obama's. he stole that one from bob the builder!
if you can, stop talking about it, shut up and do it already.
*slides soapbox back under sofa*
goodnight blogbelievers ;)

Goodnight 11:39!
Teej, something like that! XD
Ergo, you know which phrase is about to drive me bananas? "Going forward..."
It's another one of those management type phrases. Makes me want to scream when they talk about doing anything differently, and they say "So, going forward...."
AUGH.
Just passing on a note from Jen….
Hey everybody,
My Internet connection will be down until Wednesday or Thursdays. I will have to rely on the kindness of my friends until it’s fixed.
So here’s the big news!
They removed Lisa’s ventilator this AM. It was around 8:30 or 9:00 and according to her family she was trying to talk. Not good on that because of the trauma to her vocal chords. It will come in a few days though. She is breathing on her own; she’s fighting the left over sedation meds (good sign); she’s coughing productively (stuff coming out so also a good sigh); she’s completely aware of both her condition and surroundings. And she knows everyone. They are talking about moving her to a regular room in a couple of days.
Only one possible negative and that is she may have finally developed diabetes. Her blood sugars been up all week, so they’ve been treating her with insulin. Or it could just be because she can’t take her usual meds. We’ll see how that goes.
Hope all are well and stay healthy. If you’re feeling sick at all in any way, please go to your doctor.
SS
I’m so pissed off at my Internet. We’re not getting to talk and you’ve been helping to keep me going. You and the girls are my strength and my faith right now. By the way have you found that CD yet, the one I recommended? It may have been misplaced by an unaware employee. So keep looking if need be.
Gotta go for now. Updates tomorrow.
Love Jen
no moose..meese :)
I am meese. hear me roar! *coughs*
I tried...night all
Wonderful news about L!

I like the way you workin it, yo diggity
thing 1, thing 2, thing 3??
Oh excellent!
I hope she didn't develop diabetes though, it would be a really shitty way to find out about it if she did.
thanks elena!
great news on L , thanks J for keeping us in the loop (despite your internet absence)
goodnight anonymeese?
amy oh that one too, I know what you mean
*grabs soapbox*
AND
if they give me a sheet to read, put it on an OHT, or god forbid a PowerPoint, THEN proceed to read it out to me I feel ready to shove the sheet and the computer mouse down their throat!!
just give me ONE thing to look at, I can read/see/hear quite well and prefer not to have to try and do all of them, at different speeds simultaneously
*steps down*
TJ said to say her power gave out and to say goodnight to everyone
and goodnight to mayo
in case she can't get back
She has really been through so much, the poor girl.
And it's just as tough to watch someone go through this ordeal.
- anon 3
Let me tell you something. I've wanted to kill you for a long time. I dreamed about your death every night for most of that first year. Dreamed it, plotted it- I must have run through a thousand scenarios , trying to find exactly the right way to do it. You can call it a cloud on my judgment if you want to: I'm used to it by now. It's the closest thing I've got to a permanent companion.
11:57, it really is tough to watch, or read someone going through something like this. You never know what to say, because really, in the end what DO you know?
Ergo, heavily agreed. I really can't stand it when management treats staff like they're 4 years old. I can say with confidence that if you train someone to do the job, you don't need to breathe down their necks, or hold their hands or anything.
Managers, for the most part, just can't trust their employees, and that's really sad.
*smothers a laugh*
Only in Calgary!!
Date: 2009-03-26, 9:34AM MDT
we are looking for a receptionist to work in our financial service office on 17th Ave SW Calgary. We are close to the C-Train.
The reception's job consist of answering the phone, filing and entering data into the computer system. We would perfer full time but would consider part time. It pays $14 per hour. This is an entry level position and we are willing to train.
We also have a number of web pages featuring ladies in lingerine, and we would like someone for this poistion, as well. This is a part time position.
The ideal person would be willing to work in both positions, but we will also consider an application from someone who just wants to be a lingerine model.
This position pays $25 per hour.
and i'm back!
thanks ergo. :)
that's great news about l. -- i hope she continues to improve at a steady pace, and that the diabetes thing is just a side effect of her current situation.
*hugs for j. and l.*
and just because you can present an idea with a 15 slide power point, with music, nifty fade/spiral or whatever in ad outs, tables, graphs and graphics, it does not necessarily make it a good idea
anon, you like Star Wars? I had to google the quotes, I don't know anything of the extra characters
i'm the ideal person. i'm willing to work both positions. i'm willing to work all positions. where do i apply amy?

anon 2
thing 2
amy let me guess, it's run by males?
we are off to the creek for a fish/swim soon :]
Anonthing 2, that's an excellent question. It was a craigslist posting, they're always slightly questionable!
But if you really wanna go for it...
A swim in the creek sounds nice right about now.
if you can get over in the next 1/2 hr you can come with us
i would also assume the position for a swim in the creek. i'll do that for free.
that's fine anon, you can all jump in the back of the ol' hilux ute, plenty of room
ergo, i just made a bowl of popcorn, can i bring it?
most certainly TJ
PILE IN EVERYONE!!
booyah! and i just finished uploading the rest of the current batch of pics onto my flickr, so i am totes ready to go!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETCHEEKS!!!!!!!
*HUGE pounce tackle hugs and sloppy kisses*
Hello Mayo, SS, Sweetcheeks, Ergo, Amy, TJ; various anons, watchers and lurkers!
How are you all? Good, I hope!
YAY!!! I see we're having a party at the creek tonight. Can we have a party on the patio later? Amy did just finish our lovely patio next door and I'm sure Martha would enjoy another party too!
I'll bring the music and the male strippers. I have requested LUST BUNNY and Philip Anselmo look alikes!
:P
Jen (via Elena): That's fantastic news about L!!!!! I'm so glad she's off that ventilator. I shall keep sending all sorts of good vibes, thoughts and prayers her (and your) way!
Possum: Me? Accent? Nah... it was you and I loved it! You're welcome and anytime, love!
*pinches the tip of your tail*
;)
FASC: I love Lewis too!!!! I just wanted to add my love to yours!
How's work, TJ? Did you take any new pictures around your neck of the woods today?
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~
6/Wendy
Hi PJ!!!!
Amyranth said...
*lands in the tree*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I see it's THAT kind of party! Goodie!!!!
I'll go grab my parachute and my chaps. I'm sure I'll need those chaps sooner or later!
hi there wendy! i didn't take any pics today, but all the ones (well, the best of the lot) i took last week are up at my flickr.
Amy, ouch, did you land in the tree safely?
tj, yeah the snow is unexpected. Actually, I was really surprised that we were going to be back in the 30's this weekend. The last couple of weeks we had lovely weather, so the weather change came as a big surprise.
Hiya sugarplum, thank you for the b-day wishes and male strippers, lol. How are you today? *smothers with kisses and big squeezy hugs*
*climbs out of the helicopter, and down the tree*
Damn, this is a chaps kind of bash, is it? Do I need to ask Miranth for a chain-mail bra?
And do I need ass-in, or ass-less chaps?
Sugarplum, thank you so much for the cake. I swear it looks so delicious I'd wish I had one like it X_x
I'm doing okay, sweetcheeks! Thanks for asking! Is your birthday off to a good start? Thanks, so much, for sending the picture to me!!!! I knew you would wear that hair color well. And, I was right!
;)
TJ: I haven't checked out your flickr photos yet. I will be sure to do that before I try to sleep tonight. I did see that Ergo said they were wonderful. I trust her photographic views.
*wink again*
Ergo: Have a great time at the creek!!!!
Amy: Do you need some help getting down from there?
hahaha, amy get ass-in chaps
Dang! I knew I forgot something!
*runs out the door, down the sidewalk and back into Seven's place to grab the chains*
*shouts over shoulder*
ASS LESS AMY!!!!!
What's so funny is that I still remember the cake you gave me last year Wendy. That was one of the funniest things I had ever seen.
You're so very welcome for the pic! I'm just glad the color came out right. So far, the b-day has been going off at an okay start. Tomorrow is yucky shitty weather day though, blah!
*squints at her closet*
Ass-less... ass-less.. hmm...
*throws a few things out*
*digs under her bed*
Oh!
*pulls them down from the top of her closet*
*squints again*
THEY SHRUNK!
ass-less chaps?
hmmm.
i'll just stay in my esther williams swimsuit. there's enough sequins there to be party appropriate, i should think.
Amy, go with the ass-in chaps then :D
THEY SHRUNK!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh no, Amy! Put them on anyway. They'll stretch out once you ride that mechanical bull a few times.
TJ: Oh no you don't! No sequins allowed. The fish in the creek will think they're fishing lures! It's parachutes, chain bras and assless chaps ... or nothing at all!
You can wear the sequined party hat though!
Sweetcheeks: That's right!!! Last year Philip was jumping out of your cake, right? That one was yummy!
;)
Wendy, it was ;D
So now....ahem.....where's my lust bunny stripper at? I could just twist that long gorgeous blond hair into braids and slap that ass. Meow ;)
Lol.
*remembers she is wearing fishnet stockings under her assless chaps*
I suppose I better take these off, huh? I wouldn't want to 'catch' anything there!
*wiggles*
*twists*
*squeezes*
Okay, you know, ass-less is great, but not when you can't get them past your thighs. Christ Almighty.
Mee~oooow is right, sweetcheeks!!!!
I just wonder who would be happier about that slap. You or him?
;)
Amy: Did you see that whip while you were rummaging through room? It looks like we might it!
no sequins?!? what kind of party are we having anyway?
oh well.
*ducks behind a tree and changes into a red sonja outfit*
chainmail isn't the most comfortable thing i've ever worn, but oh well....
let's party!
Oh, the whip? I keep that under the chair in the living room. I think it's freshly oiled too, just in case.
*rummages some more*
I think I'm just gonna do the chain-mail evening gown. It's kinda cold on my end for ass-less chaps.
Truly no pun intended.
Amyranth said...
Okay, you know, ass-less is great, but not when you can't get them past your thighs. Christ Almighty.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*has idea*
It's okay, Amy!!!! We'll put your assless chaps on one of the strippers first! All that gyrating is sure to stretch them out. Especially when he does that gyrating while riding that bull!
Probably me sugarplum ;D
Amy, LOL!
LOL, Amy!
Speaking of oiling. Someone DID remember to oil the pole, properly, right?
*gasps* that didn't sound right wendy, it didn't sound right at all :D
*grabs tj's hands and twirls her around* :)
Happy birthday BC and a happy belated one to Elena.
I am glad to hear L is doing better. I hope J is taking care of herself as well
*wrinkles her nose at her chaps*
Good luck with that. You're gonna have to oil that bugger up to get him into those things...
*finds a shoehorn in the drawer*
We COULD try this, in as worst case scenario.
Teej, nice 'mail! And the hair is a lovely touch!
HAY MJ!
I think I'm going to take off girls, my hands are getting really sore from typing. I'm not used to the up-late-partying-in-chain-mail-scene anymore!
Have a good night girls! Happy birthday again to BC!
Mayo, I'll uh.. have someone go and collect the 'chopper.
Ergo, sorry to land in your tree.
See you in the AM!
Thanks Amy! Goodnight and sweet dreams, and thanks for the laughs
Thanks mj. I hope you're well.
TJ: You look marvelous!!!!! That is much better!
Sweetcheeks: Since you're the guest of honor tonight, you get to wear:
Chainmail bra fit for a queen
and:
A special birthday crown to go with it
Umm... aren't the strippers here yet? You don't suppose they heard about last year's party, do you?
Bleeding Chaos said...
*gasps* that didn't sound right wendy, it didn't sound right at all :D
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don't know what you're talking about, sweetcheeks!
*big wink*
Martha: Don't forget, party on the patio later tonight!!!
Yes, sweetcheeks. You get two parties!!!! The strippers have assured me they will be at Seven's place before midnight tonight. The will, indeed, make a special birthday appearance for you!
We just have to wait approximately 22 hours! The pilot dropped them off at the wrong creek. He dropped them off at Wolf Creek!
Uh~oh... I hope they survive the night!
:P
hahaha aw wendy, you shouldn't have. A chain bra? Now I can set off those metal detectors for sure, lol.
All I need is a naked dude wearing only a leather loin cloth to be my king, haha.
As for one of the strippers.....well....ahem....he's kinda not available at the moment
>_>
<_<
>_>
*looks around with an innocent look*
LOL. I shall be making an appearance at seven's tonight then. Let's hope there'll be a leather whip there somewhere ;)
Blah, it's almost past two and I need to go to sleep soon >_<
*gasps*
Sweetcheeks!!! I'm shocked (and oh so very proud)!
;)
A king in a loin cloth, eh? Well, I know what party favor to bring tomorrow/later tonight!
I must be off too...
Yes, the laundry calls! I'll be sure to wash that spare loin cloth in case the one the king's wearing gets soiled.
*big wink again*
Thanks ladies (and Mayo)!!!
Happy Birthday (again) Sweetcheeks!!!!!
Ergo: Ummm... we'll explain what happened to your tree, the fishnet stockings and sequined bathing suit hanging from the other tree and why we have so many extension cords leading from your house to the creek, later...
Goodnight everyone! Sweet dreams to one and all!!!!
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~
6/Wendy
Lol, thanks again wendy for the cake, strippers, and all that good stuff :D
Enjoy laundry. Goodnight and sweet dreams! *blows kisses*
Well, I guess it's time for me to get off for the night. I am actually gonna try to spend the first half of the morning doing the coursework and the test studying. As soon as I made into 25, I was already asked when I was gonna find a boyfriend and have kids. Lol.
The topic has been mentioned before.
Anyways, goodnight to anyone here.
J: Thanks for the update. I am so glad L is doing much better, but fuck, let's hope she won't contract diabetes. All my best wishes to you guys.
Wendy: Thanks for all of the awesome cool stuff. I am kidnapping lust bunny stripper for the night, heh.
TJ: Goodnight and thanks for the b-day wishes *hugs*
Night everyone.
As usually my timing sucks. Oh well. If anyone is about I will be at 7's
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BC
Thanks Martha for the belated B-day wish.
Mayo
Just finished watching Airport 77 and then Concord 79. Oh my lets bring back the disaster movies! Yeah
Take care, I trust you will.
Night Mayo
Elena
hey mayo,
kinda a wild night here huh? *grin*
that's what happens when choppers get called in i guess.
i'm very tired and my brain isn't cooperating with a proper rambly good night to you, so i'll just say sweet dreams and toddle off to dreamland.
have a good one tomorrow, mayo, *grin*
ok
I'm back after fishing clothing out of trees, explaining to the neighbours why there were choppers about, what exactly happened to that tree and why the cattle look worried
Hi Ergo!
Just stopping by to say:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BC!!!!
**EXTRA HUGS**
:)
Have a great day or night everyone!
hi ,iranth

I have just finished reports for my classes, hard when I've only had them 3 weeks, though some kids have made more of an impression that they'd like.

Happy Birthday, BC
Have a fabulous year!
Wooowwwzzah!
Happy Sunday Mayo!
Dance around your living room and sing Taking Back Sunday! It's good for the soul!
Happy Belated Bday to Elena!
Happy Bday to BC!
Did you ever have one of those days when you have so many things to do that you know you can't possibly get them all done, yet you go to be the night before resolved to give it your best shot? Then, the next moring you wake up with an upset stomach and the headache from hell?
Yeah. That's me today. Well, all I can say is fuck it all. I'm going to lie in bed and listen to my iPod. Hope the rest of you have a good Sunday.
For those of you who aren't yet into Kings of Leon, do yourself a favor and listen to this song. It's my favorite from their latest record. I think I'll be listening to it on repeat today. It doesn't matter if it's not the kind of music you're "into", I still think you can't help but love it. It's just one of the most soulful and beautiful songs I've heard in, well, forever. Open your mind and let Caleb's voice take you over. You won't regret it.
Sorry you are sick, KOL anon. I've never listened to them but I'll have to give it a shot. I always like finding new music. :)
Speaking of music:
MAYOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Taking Back Sunday at The Masquerade!!! Heaven, Hell and Purgatory. Hot damn!!!!
I feel a road trip in the near future! WHOOP!
YHUUUSSSS!!!
And plus, I am just sooooo excited about 30STM and The Used this year. EEEEKKK!!
Okay, sorry for yelling at you, Mayo!
Later!
Hey to anyone here. Big thanks guys for the birthday wishes. I woke up this morning to snow, and more cold weather, so I'm staying in and gonna order a pizza in a few hours. Funny how tomorrow we're going back to the 50's, and with sunshine.
Anyways, hope you all have a good Sunday. See you later.
Hey Everyone
Having a great day. Just left the comic convention and will post some pic later tonight.
Good to see you sdock. Thanks for the belated B-day wishes.
Hope everyone is doing well.
Mayo how you doin'?
Sonofabitch!
How meffin' fun would this be, Mayo? Tell me! Ha! I know, right?
Ridiculously.
^_^
Oh, wow. I don't think that worked. Well, it was one of those bubble things and you can walk on water with it.
Gah, just sucked all the awesome out of it without the pic to back it up. >.<
good morning
KOL hope you get better soon, have a good rest
hi sdock
hi smoke
happy birthday again BC
HI elena
Mayo!
Your counter has stopped on 29,000! Did time stop, too? Am I really here? Are you really there? OMG! FREAKKKKYYYY!!!!!
puts ear near speaker....hears twilight zone music
Golden Earring? Ha!
There is nothing wrong with your computer. Do not attempt to adjust the counter. We are controlling transmission......
It's milking time
again
$7.00 lip stains are just Crayola markers in a clever package.
Just sayin'.
Or possibly even Sharpies. Cuz this shit ain't coming off. O_O
oh dear smoke, what colour is it?
maybe it'll fade?
Supposed to be some type of pinkish brown but ummm, no. It is bright red.
I don't wear bright red. Ever.
Grrrr.
Is it black, blue or purple?
You're wearing bright red now smoke. Finger nail polish remover will get it off. Use the non toxic kind.
Troofax, she wrote on my finger with the shit and I still have a red streak.
Who comes up with this crap?
Hi All, by the way! I was just exercising my vocal chords with LHM playing a game of dueling lead singers on Rock Band.
yep try the nail polish remover, without acetone, just dab it
or methylated spirits
or maybe even like a cream kitchen cleaner, I use one for hair dye that gets on your skin, it works but be careful and very gentle
Bright ass red, Anon! Haha! I look kind of funny because I never wear lipstick. I usually wear just chapstick.
Finger nail polish remover on my lips? EEEEKKKK!!!
hi sdock
you wanna go teach yr 8 maths for me? they are doing ratios
I'm about to jump in the shower so maybe I can scrub it off! Bwah! We'll see!
It makes you look like you've been drinking some cherry kool-aid and it was really really good to ya!
Ergo,
o_O
Hells to the nawwh!
LHM is just now doing his timestables and that's about all the mathiness I can stand for one day!
smoke, try some baby oil, or an oil based eye makeup remover.
haha
ok sdock I'll let you off, lol
I think doing times tables will be enough for the day
Someone asked me just the other day if I had a scientific calculator they could borrow and I was like, oh hell, I've got the same one I had in high school so that makes it like 20 years old.
O_O
I shuddered a little bit because it brought back memories of signs and cosigns and tangents and all that shit.
Hullo?
Ah I am doing trigonometry with my yr 11's
they have their exam tomorrow
I did amaze a boy who told me there was no hope, he'd fail , he didn't understand any of it, by showing him how to do it, and he could actually follow it, and do it!
I told him that is why I am a teacher :]
but yeah it causes a lot of concern for students, but I actually really enjoy trig,
(stop looking at me strangely LOL)
- and I still have my sci calc from hight school too, but I have 2 newer ones as well
hi RW how are you?
I'm almost off for work
*innocently sneaks up and gives RW a big squeeze*
^_^
Hiya guys
Hiya, EP :) I'm well, thanks. You?
me?
aw poo
*innocently sneaks up and gives RW a big squeeze*
O_O
*squeezes BC back*
:)
RW,
Yayness!
Ergo,
I think you could explain anything and it would make sense. That's why you're the teacher and I'm not the teacher! I fail at s'plainin!
RW!!!! You iz on top! YAY!
I scrubbed it off! Yay! Pretty much. It's almost gone. :)
What did you scrub off, S&V?
