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.

even if no one gets me, if i'm the only one laughing at my jokes, i won't hide myself away from life. it's uncertain and it's dirty and it's fucking exciting, and i want to be a part of all of it.
it's too good to waste in hiding.

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.

«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 800 of 4847 Newer› Newest»Sorry Wendy but that's bull shit. I didn't see any bad behavior, "continued" or otherwise.
She posted a poem. She talked about something that went on in her life. Just liek the rest of YOU all did tonight. She talked to her friends.
Now this anon you love so much with the bumping, that seems to be spamming the blog. That is what I'd call bad behavior. But of course since you agree with "it" you think "it" is just great and the Porchies are showing "bad behavior".
I don't really care if no one here agrees. I am not to win any points with any of you. I just think that most of you are behaving stupidly.

I don't really care if no one here agrees. I am not to win any points with any of you. I just think that most of you are behaving stupidly.
i second that. and if the shoe were on the other foot, and the "porchies" supporters were bullying the so called "nighties", I would say the same thing.
bedtime. good night to all who have gone ahead of me, and good night to those that remain.
Goodnight tj sweet dreams
*runs back in to say*
Hello AGAIN Carrie and Carrie anon!
I don't think I said a thing about any behavior tonight. I simply said "continued bad behavior".
Now, go back and read all the comments from the very first Mayo post and then tell me there was NO continued and continued and continued bad behavior.
You are free to think I am stupid. You are free to think "cha cha" anon is stupid. You are free to think anyone who does not see things your way is stupid.
Frankly my dear, I don't think I give a damn (what you think)!
Goodnight!
*blows kisses*
Goodnight wendy
*shakes head*
12:43 ~ I suggest you look into what bullying really is.
For instance:
Emotional bullying: IGNORING or deliberately leaving someone out.
Hmmm.... that didn't happen tonight, did it? Not at any time.
What some people call "fake nice" others call common courtesy and good manners.
Another for instance:
A complete stranger says "hello, how are you?" to me; I say "hello, I'm fine, thank you. How are you?" back.
Genuine smiles are exchanged. Eyes twinkle. Each of us is recognized as an equally valuable human being.
If care enough to take the time to ask or say hello, you care. Period. Nothing FAKE about it.
mayo,
last autumn, kapunua and i exchanged tarot readings, and the one she gave me was very interesting. it advised me to plan for the long-term, that a good outcome was likely if i did the hard work and kept my vision fixed on the horizon.
i was heading back to seattle, and it seemed very appropriate. i knew i would have hard times, getting myself back up on my feet. the reassurance of a well-earned happy ending was a comfort.
then i failed, and came back here.
and now, although i failed, i have my eyes set firmly on the horizon. i have a idea of where i want to be this time next year, and i have an idea of what i need to do while i'm here in order to get there.
i don't want to say what that idea is, just yet. it's still just a baby seed in my hand. you know i'll eventually blurt it all out right here (so be patient, mayo. *grin*), but right now, it requires a bit of secrecy if it's going to grow strong and become something viable.
but it feels good to have a very real goal that is more than just "earn money" or "get a place of my own".
those are good goals, but they don't excite. they don't pull one forward.
but this goal, it's a very proper and very shiny carrot on a stick. and if it's meant to happen, it will happen, but i'll need to meet my gods halfway on it. so i plan, and i'm saving, and i'm looking toward the horizon.
i'm still enjoying myself, i'm not putting anything to the side. "yes" is still the top word in my vocabulary (as well as, "sure, why not?"), but oh, this path i'm on has an arrow now, and step-by-step i'm following it.
i don't even know if it's possible, but i'm going to try.
good night, mayo. if you're the superstitious sort, i wish you an uneventful friday the 13th. and if you're not, well, i wish you a lovely day anyway, regardless how many ladders you might walk under.
Goodnight, again, sweetcheeks! Did you find the Beseech e~mail? If not, I could resend!
Goodnight head shaking anon! I hope you don't get dizzy!
Goodnight sugarplum. Nope, I never got the email. You have to resend it :(
Sweetcheeks: Suddenly, I'm in a much cheerier mood. My tail is all fluffed and I'm feeling very frisky! I'll resend right away.
You know, you can find very interesting things when you google names and the year 2003. Very, very interesting (and quite frightening and disturbing) happenings that year.
Thanks to the one who gave me the heads up! I should have tried that sooner!
Sweetcheeks!!! Did you see that? I am comment 616!!
As our beloved Kass used to say, it undoubtly signifies the end of the world!
Yes, I am the DOOM of you all (the world even)!
*wicked laugh*
Be afraid. Be very afraid!
Okay, really going resend the Beseech now!
at least she learned to use spell check since then. the lies, false accusations, manipulation, intimidation and obsessive behavior haven't changed.
A complete stranger says "hello, how are you?" to me; I say "hello, I'm fine, thank you. How are you?" back.
Genuine smiles are exchanged. Eyes twinkle. Each of us is recognized as an equally valuable human being.
If care enough to take the time to ask or say hello, you care. Period. Nothing FAKE about it.
I doubt that stranger would react that way if you called them a c*** previously. There is no recognition of a valuable person there.
What some people call "fake nice" others call common courtesy and good manners.
So it's okay to pretend to be nice to someone's face because it is common courtesy, then bitch about them behind their back. I call that "fake nice".

While reading this wannabe
science-geek rhyme
ask yourself:
Is this metaphor or paradigm?
The wu ji before it
decided to shatter
Big Bang before quantum
the source of all matter
then self-born tai ji
an electrical balance
the attraction of each
to the other one's valence
the system, organ
the tissue, the cell
the yin of its yolk
and the yang of its shell
the constance of mass,
fluctuation of weight
the octet bagua,
the atom's rule of eight
endless ebbing and surging
of homeostasis
from jin-ye to bones
all of water's good graces
an hourglass of jing
and the pre-heaven essence
is the same DNA's
unavoidable senescence
the unthinkable distance
between the nuclear core
and the electrons' first shell
on the farthest-flung shore
urges you into
the truth's cold embrace:
You are not mostly water.
You are mostly just space.
When asked about light,
or the constance of C,
my answer is thus:
MC squared equals qi.
March 12, 2009 8:29 PM
I don't know anon. You tell me! Is it okay to call someone "fake", "paranoid", "a liar", "stupid". To tell them they're "not worth your time", they're "an idiot" and never apologise for any of that?
Is it okay to tell them "I don't care if you have defended me. I ignore everything you say".
Is it okay to tell people "you are beneath me"? Is it?
Well, not where I come from. When you do that, you will be called an uppity, self absorbed bitch and worse.
Perhaps without such words as bitch and "c" The integrity of my emotions and my true feelings could not be completely or properly expressed.
Funny, she agreed with that sentiment when Mayo said it.
I suppose I'm just not worth as much as Mayo. What? Are men the only ones allowed to use those words? She did like it when he used it. She did think it was cool and perfectly acceptable then. She did say she encouraged that type of talk at her job.
Sorry Mayo. Sorry for "borrowing" your words to put another in their place. But, you know how hyprocrisy irritates the hell out of me!
Ohhh... and Quinn from the Used is allowed to make "cunt ages" jokes too.
Ah~ha. I see. If I were a man it would have been a~ok for me to use the "c" word in any manner I wanted. Yep, I understand completely! Sure I do. No hypocrisy there. None at all!
So it's okay to pretend to be nice to someone's face because it is common courtesy, then bitch about them behind their back. I call that "fake nice".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh, little anon, I didn't bitch about anyone behind their backs. I didn't go on AIM and trash talk anyone. I have the courage of my convictions. I said it right to her face.
And, it was wrong. As I have said many times before. I could have expressed my opinion, without resorting to namecalling (no matter what Mayo said and K agreed with in the past).
Again, if you would like to read my apology for the name calling you may do so
here
I am not apologizing again ~ for a fifth time; when some people haven't even apologized ONCE for the hurtful, demeaning things they have said to people I care about and respect. Capiche?
Goodnight to anyone here. Sugarplum, your email didn't get through. I still didn't get it, lol.
Sweet dreams *blows kisses*
Well hell! I suppose I should have been born a "mystery blogger (male, of course)" or a "semi rock star". I could have used the "c" word whenever, however and to whomever I wanted if I had.
Shucks, it sucks to be plain, ol, little, tiny, regular, cute me!
:P
Not really! I love being me. I wouldn't want to be anyone else!
Thank you dad and mom!!!! I love ya'll!!!
Hello daddy, hello mom!
My dad was the best jitter bugger in the state of Lousiana!
And, that man knew how to rock. He knew every word of "Rock N Roll All Nite". I raised him right!

Oh wait nevermind, wendy, I did get your song emails, lol.
Oh no, weetcheeks! I'm sending it to the "butterflies" address. Is that still a good one?
Weetcheeks: LOL!! I am relieved! Tell me what you think of the songs. I have more I can send if you like them!
*huge hugs and sloppy kisses*
So now I'm known as weetcheeks? Lol.
I'll download the songs first thing in the morning, but thank you so much for sending them to me. You should check out the orchestral version of nemo from nightwish(During the Tarja era) it's pretty amazing
Well, if I can be known as "Weedy", you can be known as "weetcheeks"! LOL!!!!
I love all orchestral Nightwish, sweetcheeks. Tuomas is the most amazing song writer in the universe, isn't he?! My God, that man has it all! I wuv him, sweetcheeks! I weally, weally do!
*big smile and sigh*
Weedy, you just love Tuomas' booty, that's why ;D
lol
For you (and me and Amy), Sweetcheeks!
I behold my knight
*le sigh*
:)
That's it! I'm moving to Finland! I have made my decision. And, as you all know, once I make a decision... that's it!
You're gonna have to take me and Amy with you to Finland! Hee.
Gah, I want to go spend one of my semesters living there
Shhhh, Sweetcheeks! He's not supposed to know that. Not yet!
;)
Hey, did you ever see MY Nightwish video from when they played in NOLA?
I recommend watching in High Quality/full screen. I really do!
*huge smile*
The wolves MY LOVE will come
I loved his hat!!! That was such an incredible night, sweetcheeks! I wish you could have been there!
I think I'll have to take MissT and I know I'll have to take Bre too!!!! Haha!!! Let's go! I'm readier than ready.
Ohhhh....

Making Your Mind Up - Bucks Fizz
you gotta speed it up
and then you gotta slow it down
cos if you believe that a love can hit the top
you gotta play around
and soon you will find that there comes a time for making your mind up
you gotta turn it up
and then you gotta cool it down
you gotta be sure that its something everybodys gonna talk about
before you decide the times right for making your mind up
dont let your indecision take you from behind
trust your inner vision
dont let others change your mind
and now you really gotta burn it up
and make another fly by night
getta run for your money
and take a chance
and it will turn out right
and when you see how its gotta be
your making your mind up!
and try to look as if you dont care less
but if you wanna see some more
then the rules of the game
will let you find the one your looking for
and then you can show you think you know
that your making your mind up
dont let your indecision take you from behind
trust your inner vision
dont let others change your mind
and now you really gotta speed it up
and then you gotta slow it down
cos if you believe that a love can hit the top

Land of Makebelieve
Stars in your eyes,
Little one,
Where do you go to dream,
To a place,
We all know,
The land of make believe
Shadows,
Tapping at your window,
Ghostly,
Voices whisper will you come and play?
Not for all the tea in China,
Or the corn in Carolina,
Never,
Never ever
They're running after you babe
Run for the sun,
Little one,
You're an outlaw once again,
Time to change,
Superman,
Will be with us while he can,
In the land of make believe
Something,
Nasty in your garden's,
Waiting patiently,
'Till it can have your heart,
Try to go,
But it won't let you,
Don't you know it's out to get you,
Running,
Keep on running
They're running after you babe
Run for the sun,
Little one,
You're an outlaw once again,
Time to change,
Superman,
Will be with us while he can,
In the land of make believe
Your world is turning,
From night to day,
Your dream is burning far, far away
Into the blue,
You and I,
To the circus in the sky,
Captain Kids,
On the sand,
With the treasure close at hand,
In the land of make believe
In the land of make believe
Run for the sun,
Little one,
You're an outlaw once again,
Time to change,
Superman,
Will be with us while he can,
In the land of make believe
Run for the sun,
Little one,
You're an outlaw once again,
Time to change,
Superman,
Will be with us while he can,
In the land of make believe
(Little girl)
I've got a friend who comes to tea,
And no-one else can see but me,
He came today,
But had to go,
To visit you?
You never know...

Actually, it wasn't shit poetry,
Actually, it WAS shit poetry. Self indulgent, non sellable, unpublishable shit. Very few people would ever be able to relate to what she and you call poetry. It doesn't work. It lacks passion. It lacks emotion. It lacks understanding of the human condition. Of basic human emotions. It's self indulgent crap. It's "look how smart I am and the big words I can use". It's "let me impress you" and it fails miserably. It is shit poetry.
In other words, in literary terms, she ain't all that.
Accept it. Deal with it. Get over it and move on.
Just reread her poem.
She ain't even close to the state of all that. It is so self indulgent it's ridiculous. That is just a sad attempt at poetry. It's a mockery of all that poetry should be. It offends me. It really does.
^ 4:10's grammar offends me. I am also offended by reading the word 'bump' repeatedly over the course of several hundred comments.
Get over it. You'll be seeing alot more bumping. Does that sexcite you? Bet that's the most bumping youve seen in years.
Desperate people offend me. Those who latch on to strangers on the internet and become obsessed. Ones who have a history of doing that are downright scary. Background checks peeps. Highly recommended.
What else offends you 4:29? Do church going people offend you? Do people of faith offend you? Do Mississippian's offend you? Do people who can't spell leik or freind offend you? Do people who can't make words offend you? Does the c word offend you? What about the male equivlent, cock, does that offend you?
None of that offends me. Shitty, self indulgent poetry does.
She ain't even close to the state of all that. It is so self indulgent it's ridiculous. That is just a sad attempt at poetry. It's a mockery of all that poetry should be. It offends me. It really does.
OMG if that offends you, you really need to take your own advice; Accept it. Deal with it. Get over it and move on.
I noticed a "blue" was very encouraging to the anons that was talking crap. That just makes the "blue" just as bad. Just because you don't like someone doesn't mean you should encourage that kind of behavior. I found it rather childish.
Poetry critique anon:
First I wanna say, while I do think that your criticism was totally over the top with personal vitriol, and I of course suspect you're a regular with an agenda, a very clear agenda, for right now I'm going to pretend that I don't know any of that. I'm going to pretend that you're not one of those full-of-hate regs with all the vitriol and "zOMGzzzz soooo offended!!111"
Why would I pretend that?
Because you read the poem and you really did have some helpful thoughts about it.
THANK YOU.
Man, I'll be honest: that is similar critique to what I get with my fiction writing (only minus the vitriol.) And it's something I easily recognize in my own prose. It is so self indulgent. Almost everyone who critique my work is like, "Well, it's interesting but you're a little over-focused on the things you like," etc.
This is so true. I get so involved with the parts that get me excited that I either skimp on important exposition, or I shove it all in the reader's face at once to get it out of the way. I'm like that newscaster on Family Guy. "IT'S RAINING SIDEWAYS!"
Bearing in mind that that one poem was written specifically for someone who would understand it--one of my professors who taught me all that stuff--it should still not be my foregone conclusion that everyone would get it. Was it? Well, no; a lot of those things were inside jokes, and those rarely work in public fora. However, it has been known to happen and usually when it does, no deaths occur. ;)
I just think it's so funny and telling that you found it self indulgent because so much of my writing is self indulgent. And when I'm working on things that I want other people to be into, I really need to work on that. So thanks!
Carrie and other Carrie, I want to thank you, too. :)
Now back to your regularly scheduled pages worth of bitching and nonsense. None of which is "self indulgent" at least. ;D
Honest question.
Is it therapeutic for you (sorry, no english equivalent to the you plural some languages have, except y'all, I guess....)
Well, anyway. Totally just interrupted my own question.
Does it make "y'all" feel better to say these things and let them out?
Because when I start going off about something someone did that bothered me, I don't think I get the same emotional release "y'all" get when doing this kind of thing.
To rejoice in another's prosperity, is to give content to your own lot: to mitigate another's grief, is to alleviate or dispel your own.

Just a few thoughts for the day
I've been a dirty voyeuristic lurker for quite some time and I realized that when certain personality traits conflict, someone takes it personally.
I just find it interesting and I'm trying to understand better where 'you' are coming from.
"Fora"?? Who the hell says fora?
More pretentiosuness.
I realized there are two primary goals.
One, to get Kapunua, etc to stop posting poetry.
Two, to ultimately drive Kapunua and other 'offenders' off the blog.
However, considering Kapunua, the porchies, the OP's, you name it, have been on the blog now for almost three years and counting, we all know nothing anyone says or does will make them leave.
Which leaves me with the conclusion that perhaps the engine of this goal is really composed of the desire to hurt said target.
I can then only guess that you would want to hurt them because they hurt you in some way and therefore you're defending yourself....?
Or what they display here aggravates you which is an unpleasant sensation and therefore the release is important.
Another observation I've made is that everyone who becomes a regular loves intense emotions, even if their own spectrum frightens them.
So perhaps the 'drama' some talk about is inevitable when you stuff a whole bunch of intense people into a small white room of sorts for hours on end.
And therefore, the draw back must hold some sort of pleasure, even though most of you know what awaits you when you type in the blog owner's URL.
Blah. Just thinking on my keyboard. Trying to better understand.
Interesting thoughts anon. I have always felt this blog is made up of very intense people. Some might say a lot of broken people. I don't really agree with that totally. I myself am broken. Here I try to do what makes me feel best - I try to "fix" other people. At the same time I can bring my problems here whereas I can't acknowledge them in the "real" world. I find friendship and sometimes answers. Now I'm just thinking on my keyboard.
Did you decide you were broken or did someone tell you that you were broken?
Shut up, pretentious anon.
Stop acting like you're so much better and smarter than everyone here.
now someone's going to start quoting songs or something.
I know I'm broken. But in knowing that I find strength if that makes any sense. You see to me "broken" isn't always a terrible thing. I am different. I'm not what is considered by many to be the "norm". But that's okay. I don't want to be the "norm". So if broken is the word that is used for me I'm okay with it. I know I have things I need to work on, okay lots of things. And I am trying. There are things about me that I don't like and those are the things I'm working on.
Listen.
Everyone has a right to speak here.
MAYO. Yes the owner of this blog has made it open to everyone to say whatever they wish.
If you don't like it, then leave. Go somewhere else. No one's asking you to be here.
I don't know which anon is which anymore. So confused!!!!
Elena,
What do you think you'll do once you've fixed everything about yourself?
Or do you think that isn't possible?
Wow that is an interesting question, Anon.
Funny but I've never thought about it. Maybe because I don't think it's possible to fix everything, maybe because I don't want to get my hopes up that that day will come. I honestly don't know.
One last question and I will stop bothering you, Elena.
Do you feel like you were born broken or that circumstance/people made you feel this way?
Anon you aren't bothering me. I'm enjoying talking with you.
I have to say that I believe I was born this way. I was born with a lot of traits from both of my parents. The old "runs in the family" I guess. However as I got older "circumstance/people" do play a big part in things. My father in particular always worried about what doing and saying what was considered "proper and right" by society. There was a lot of pressure to conform. He got that from his parents, he passed it on to me. And for years I did the same thing.
I hope this answered your question.
I wish you luck on your journey.
Fare well.
Thank you, Elena.
I appreciate your willingness to indulge my curiosity about you.
I hope your weekend is splendid.
I have more I would like to ask but I must sleep.
Till next time, I suppose.
I like teddy bears.
I'm going to try to make that comment 666!!!!
It was very nice talking to you anon. I don't mind questions about me and yours did make me think.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Sleep tight, sweet dreams.

a few more inspirational thoughts I wanted to share
For those of you not familiar with Myrtle Reed she was an excellent author and poet. Check out her work if you get the chance.
Look back from the beginning and see the "bad behaviour"?
I have been here for almost two years. I have seen the bad behaviour.
I have seen it from EVERYBODY. From OP-J, from Elena in the way she spoke to Siobhan, from Siobhan herself, from Kapu, from Smoke, Fimble, Mya, from Amy and from YOU, Wendy. Jobs lost, personal information put up everywhere (no apology for that), and I have seen it from anons.
What I see NOW is some people who keep mentioning Kapu either anonymously or signed in who CAN'T LET IT GO and who keep dragging the blog down. That is "bad behaviour" Wendy. You can't seem to see your own or the bad behaviour of your friends. You are hung up.
Keep pointing the finger. But I honestly haven't seen any of them keep taking shots at you over the many months, and playing (and encouraging) that stupid "bump" game you were playing last night. That is what I'd call "bad behaviour" but I guess to you, it is different when you do it. And when it is done to people you hate.
Yes, hate. You are not above hate. And you demonstrate your hate. Frequently.
Anon , i couldn't of said it better.
What I see NOW is some people who keep mentioning Kapu either anonymously or signed in who CAN'T LET IT GO and who keep dragging the blog down
That is the best part.
By the way. I have also seen "bad behaviour" in myself. In my loved ones. In people I don't like. In people I do. Did I mention in myself?
But I don't spend every waking hour taking stabs at them whenever I think they might see it.
Admitting that you are a bitch doesn't mean it's ok to keep on being one. Saying you're sorry doesn't hold water if you keep doing the same thing you did before.
I see only a few people here "hanging on" to the "bad behaviour" and others who decide to ignore it in others and try not let it get to them.
That "bump cha cha cha" game last night was ridiculous and showed the mind of a ten year old. Anyone who played it or thought it was "funny" or cute or encouraged it.
tisk. That is "bad behaviour" but guess what, I am going to get over it in about..... three seconds.
Hello Mayo, SS, various anons, watchers and lurkers!
First of all, let me say again, I do not "hate" anyone here. There are those I like a lot more than others, there are those I talk to a lot more than others, there are those I enjoy spending time with and there are those I don't particularly enjoy spending time.
There is no hate. No matter how many times you say it, or how much you might like to believe it. I don't hate anyone here. That is the truth.
As for "bump and cha cha" anon, why shouldn't I talk them. I thought they were cute. I do LOVE dancing and I really liked the "tightie whities" joke!
They have just as much right to be here as any other anon.
You may not have noticed; but, the only "bumping and cha cha~ing" I did was in my usual comments. No single word bumping.
You are free to think my playing with an anon I liked was encouraging their bad behavior. I thought of it as having some fun with a cute anon who got me in a dancing mood!
You are free to think whatever you want and express those opinions... as am I and any other bloggers, any other regulars and any anons.
If you have been here from the beginning, you would know that I've always talked to anons. Why? Because there is a person behind that anonymous name. A person who is worth just as much as me and you.
And, before anyone says, "Isn't *insert* name here worth just as much as you?" let me say, of course they are! I never said they weren't.
But, you know what? J and L are too. Mya is too. Amy is too. Martha is too. CTV, Entropy, Pixie and Siobhan were too. Anons are too no what their opinions are or how they differ from yours. Whether or not they like me, you, "the porchies", or "the night crew bitches".
I think I have covered it all for now.
See some of ya'll later, I'm sure!
Hugs and Love
~Namaste~

Hi PJ and all the abovementioned people!
Mayo!
Hey, dude. I listened to Rob Zombie, Saosin, Alice In Chains, Audioslave and The Black Crowes all day at work today! How awesome is that? Ummm, pretty damn awesome if you ask me!
The Devil's Rejects FTW! Yhus!
^_^
Elko.
LOL!
Where the hell is Elko? Bwahaha.
The night crew "bitches"? let it be known that YOU said that word and no one else.
I didn't say anything about anyone being "worth" more. I just said that you kept talking over and over again about one person's "bad behaviour" when you and everyne else is just as responsible, and I have never witnessed any of "them" have such a freak out over it or hang on to it for so long.
Of course you liked the tighty whitey joke. It was aimed at the person you hate.
Ooops, one more thing, I would like to thank "bump and cha cha anon" for the great dance last night!
Thank you!!
And, I would also like to say go Adam Lambert!!!!! He's my favorite AI contestant this year!
Okay, I must run. Bre, my nephew and sister are here for a yummy crab supper.
Bre says "HI FRIENDS"!!!!!
She was very upset to hear about Jumps though.
:(
I thought everyone always laughed whenever anyone made a joke about Mayo's tightie whities. Guess I was wrong. Ooops, my mistake!
Off to make angel hair pasta and cheese sauce!
Enjoy the evening, everyone!!!!
*blows kisses*
They have just as much right to be here as any other anon.
I guess the anons that harrass you do too.

I'm sorry all this has happened. These names and those that remain made this place, and each had a part in something that was and is very special. There are more, those that came by for one comment, or two, and those that stayed for a little while.
It's not one, or two, but all. All who have or had a voice. Why has that been forgotten?
"An eye for an eye makes everyone blind."
It also makes the ones who happened to be standing in the way dodge the carnage until they can't take anymore.
No one wins a war. There's only the damage left behind.
I remember when i found this place.
I remember my first comment.
I remember feeling good when i came here. :)
I am back! Family enjoyed their crab supper. I didn't cook that. I only made the angel hair pasta and cheese sauce! The crab supper came from the local Catholic Church/School. I hear it was very good!

But, of course 6:43! (Only, I don't feel harassed.) I'm quite certain I said the ones who didn't like me had a right to be here!
*goes back and checks*
Yes, I did!
As for as "the night crew bitches" statement, that name was given to those of us who post at night long, long ago. I think it was even before "the porchies" were given their name. I think they were called "the day crew" back then.
It's been a long, long time since we have been referred to as the collective "lovelies".
*please notice I am speaking to you and I don't get the feeling you're in love with me*
:P
6:48 ~ Thank you for the list! It would be great to have a reunion, wouldn't it?
Find out what some of our old friends (who we haven't stayed in touch with) have been doing. And, to have the ones we have stayed in touch with come back here and chatter the night, or day, away!
*yawns*
*stretches*
*smiles*
morning!
so nice to have a sleep in, off to collect the steers soon, then out to dinner at a friends tonight
good weekend!!
Good Morning Ergo
hello elena!
Ergo
It was so great talking with you last night but I'm really upset. I'm not sure why but I tried and can't call you back. I'm off to the Sprint store tomorrow to find out why.
Stupid Sprint
Hallo, Good morning, Good afternoon, and Good evening to everyone!
I have more Crispix, and I'm happy. :)
hello Amy
that is a cereal correct?
did you get the pic I sent you and mister?
Hey Amy
Good to see ya. Crispix? Never had any.
oh that's a bugger!
maybe you aren't set up for international calls? I know some cell contracts here don't automatically come with international options
I don't have cell service here so you'd have to use the other number
too
Hi BC
Hiya ergo
Hey BC
I don't know Ergo. Maybe I'm just not doing something right. But I have the plan that is supposed to be unlimited everything. Think if I want to talk to someone in Australia I should be able to.
what you up to BC?
hmmmm elena, can you maybe google "call australia sprint" and see if their website of another says anything?
Hey elena. Nothing much ergo, just in the middle of eating some dinner I cooked up earlier. I'm about to scarf down on some cookies and watch a movie
*runs back in*
Ergo, I did get the shot, but I can't show Mister yet. He's asleepin.
Elena, Crispix is awesome. I'll find you a picture and show you eventually.
brb, tub's overflowing!!
(Sorry Mayo, I'll clean it up)
I'm doing housework - such fun, lol
*comes downstairs with a mop and bucket*
So anyway, what'd I miss?
Oh Amy you should have seen it....
He ran through naked as a Jaybird.
That's what you missed
*turns red*
LEAR! WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT STREAKING DURING SHEDDING SEASON!?!?!
Friggin' Lion...
he did Amy!!
and he was throwing out these amazingly delicious chocolates as he ran!!
gotta go time to get the steers the other guys are back
see you all later!
*rubs her temples*
That Lion.
That bloody LION.

So I hope you enjoyed your stay in Eureka Springs. Was the cabin I chose for you a good one? Hope you got some writing done. That’s what I would do if I were there. Just sit and write. Well that said it’s time for you to move on. Your next destination is a cool one. Okay I think it’s a cool one. You are going to the Hair Museum in Independence Mo. Now before you start making faces and rolling your eyes it’s not what you think. Nope you’re not gonna see hair styles and crap like that. This place is very unique. Really when is the last time you saw a Victorian wreath made of human hair? And don’t say yesterday cause I’m not going to believe you.
At the hair museum there are Victorian wreaths and so much more. Ever want to see a piece of Abe Lincoln’s hair? How about Marilyn Monroe’s hair? Well you can. Hundreds of framed examples fill the walls; most are at least a hundred years old. One was assembled from the hair of every member of a chapter of the League of Women Voters. Two were made from the hair of sisters whose heads were shorn when they entered a convent. A third is a woman convict's "hair diary;" all of her prison visitors had to bring her hair. Come on you gotta admit this sounds interesting. Make sure and check out the antique photos and postcards adorned with hair. I have an old framed baby picture that has real hair attacted to the head. My family thinks it’s creepy but I think it’s sweet. I mean lots of people keep a locket from babies first hair cut so why is this any different? Now I do admit I have actually seen a photo of a dead baby with pieces of the baby’s hair attached. That was a bit over the top. But then again, I’m sure it was done with love. They wanted to remember their baby. That’s why I’ve never found the “dead baby” cabinet cards creepy. They were done so the family could remember. Oh I just got off track again. Back to the museum. Make sure and look at the hair jewlery. Some really cool pieces there.
Well that’s it for tonight. Have fun. I’m off to take care of a sick husband. He’s worse about being sick then the girls were when they were little. LOL. Just hope I don’t catch whatever he has cause I just don’t have time to be sick. Not that anyone ever really has time. Like you think to yourself “oh I have a few days now would be a good time to get sick”. And I’m off track again.
Take care and enjoy your vacation. I know I’m enjoying it! Well not the part where you don’t post as much, that sucks. Because I miss your words. They always make me think and that’s a good thing.
Night Mayo
Elena (very strange and happy to be that way)
meet Motley and Crue
named thanks to our friend who commented how one was all motley (mottled) and it just went from there
they are 8 months old
i'm going to take the liberty of plagiarizing another blogger :)
...comes in singing...
HONO tsutsumareta nemuru kimi ni ha tabidatta
haruka tooi yasuragi wo motome... tooi yasuragi Haruki motome wo ...
toujours, you seem to appreciate this style of music so i wanted to leave a couple of tunes you may enjoy.

Good evening/night/morning Mayo, SS, Ergo, Elena, Amy, various anons, various watchers and various lurkers!
How are you all tonight? Good, I hope!
Singing!!! I hear singing! I like it, very much!
:)
Aural sex, eh? Hmmm... I have a little something that makes me feel that way. Well, actually I have many somethings that make me feel that way; but tonight, it's this:
Gimme Gimme Gimme covery by BESEECH
*starts melting*
Maybe all ABBA songs should be rerecorded in the Goth/Metal style?!
Ergo: I'm still loving Motley and Crue!
Have a great night, everyone!
Hugs and Love,

Hi PJ, L, J, Anima, Mel and BI!!!
The comments section of this blog has been hijacked by a single determined, agenda-driven individual. Behind the agenda is a personality disorder which compels this individual to destroy established relationships, amass (temporary, disposable) allies and victimize everyone else. It is a behavior that has been well-documented in communities across the internet; this individual becomes a member of a community in an area of interest and proceeds to create dissent and cause havoc. The community slowly degenerates into nothing more than a heated discussion of this individual; its original purpose has been subverted to serve a private pathological agenda. When the community inevitably falls apart, this individual contentedly moves on to the next project (often already in progress). This is classic compulsive behavior in a novel milieu - the internet, full of real people with real feelings behind the impersonal electrons.
Personality disorders have a notoriously poor prognosis, even with years of the intensive treatment of a subject who can actually recognize the damage this disorder causes to the self and others and sincerely wishes to surmount it. Presenting logical, annotated arguments to this individual is an exercise in futility. People with certain personality disorders are grounded in the delusion that they are the most intelligent person at every gathering and that their positions, opinions and beliefs are the exclusively correct and valid ones. They don't understand why others fail to see the truth in what they assert. This is a source of frustration and eventually results in anger and overt aggression. Appeals to reason and presentation of irrefutable facts in the interest of helping this individual to recognize objective reality are not fruitful and can never be. The personality disorder is a facet of identity that is well-established early in the formation of the individual and it is the motivator of much of that individual's behavior. Individuals with personality disorders are difficult to interact with and can have difficulty maintaining even the most casual of relationships. They infuriate and demoralize the targets of their disdain and can turn on allies without provocation. They stop at nothing to appear exotic, exciting, "different", interesting and unusually intelligent to the people they interact with. Because this individual can not be reasoned with, it is most effective to deprive them of the things they crave: attention and prestige. Ignoring even the most inflammatory commentary from this person may be the only way to effectively deal with them in a public space. Refuse to be drawn into circular arguments; your issue will never be satisfactorily resolved because the individual with a personality disorder is unable to compromise or to recognize personal culpability. Refuse to be offended by and to engage with this individual when outrageous statements are made in order to effect a reaction. Remember, you are dealing with someone whose perception of reality is different than the average person's. Refuse to seem impressed by this person's antics; they are not intrinsically exotic or interesting and must affect artificial characteristics to attract curiosity. Your curiosity feeds this compulsive behavior and intensifies it. Ignore, ignore and ignore some more. Stop feeding this monster and it will seek what it needs elsewhere.
What a revelation 12:46!
well said, 12:46. thank you for the information.
it seems like maybe i missed everyone? my sister ("sisterlor") wanted one of my sterotypically long and rambly email updates -- i haven't been able to write anything for quite some time -- and so i've been tippy-typy-tapping away.
then i finish, and my email is down for maintenance.
*facepalm*
ok, that took a long time (dial-up, unfortunately), but it was worth it!
thank you for the links, 11:53! what a gorgeous voice. i don't know what it is, but those male vocalists in jrock have such deep rich voices. i've mostly listened to tm revolution, and a bit of gackt (like kapunua mentioned the other night), but i'm definitely putting these guys on my list!
thank you! :)
ergo, motley and crew are very handsome creatures. i like the expression on motley's face. :)
how are you toujours?
doing pretty good, anon. it's friday night. :)
how are you tonight?

Thanks for the info 12:46. There can never be too much info handed out about this problem. Many recognized that behavior a long way's back. More see it now.
Its motis apperendi has been the same for years. It won't change its ways. It has already moved to a fresh hunting ground in anticipation of this one being scorched and destroyed. It is already taking pleasure in seeing others suffer there. Starvation could be the only way to remove it from our presence.
very well toujours.
that's good to hear, 2:04. are you starting to see signs of spring in your part of the world, or are you in one of the regions still struggling with winter? we're all back-and-forth here. it's producing mental whiplash. *grin*
and hello to you, 2:01.
Starvation it is.
it's still cold. how is work going? you're no longer in seattle, are you?
don't starve, amyranth.
stay warm, then, 2:17! i wasn't able to make a go of it in seattle, so i came back to kentucky. it's difficult to turn down free room & board, you kow? *grin*
but it's working out for me -- i really enjoy my job and the people i work with. and i'll probably get back to seattle someday. or maybe new york, or london, or...
*heh*
edit: "know"
good to read you are enjoying work. i think your will and tenacity at making a go of seattle is to be commended.
i'm sure there will be many opportunities to come. where there is a will, there is a way :)
i mentioned seattle as i thought that maybe you might be interested in sakura con being held in april.
the j-rock band girugamesh will be featuring there. another interesting band.
Hiya tj, anon if you guys are still around. I'm off for the night.
Goodnight guys.
good night bc. sweet dreams!
you know, 2:44, in all the years i lived in seattle, i never had a chance to go to sakura con. it was always one thing or another. and it always looked like a great con -- and bands, too?
that's the one thing i regretted the most about leaving the city -- i knew i was giving up live rock for the duration. there's just not much going on here, but i'm not giving up looking for it!
it's been good chatting with you, but alas, i'm afraid i need to get to bed. i'm very sleepy. *grin*
take care of yourself, and i hope to talk with you again!
good night all.
oyasumi nasai toujours.
take care :)
oh, and goodnight bc!
mayo,
so tomorrow night i might not be able to write a good night to you. i've been invited over to a co-worker's to hang out, meet her friends...and i might have to crash on her couch, if there are no drivers by the end of the evening.
(i really need to learn how to drive, huh.)
of course, i'm feeling a bit of apprehension. i haven't been to a party since i was married, and that was a halloween party (we went as the highlander and his watcher. very clever, i thought, but no one got it. *tcha*)
the only person i'll know there is my co-worker, and i'm wondering -- am i going to like these people? are they going to like me? i don't need their approval, but i want to have a fun evening.
i know there's going to be that split-second moment when i first go in the door, and don't know what to say or where to stand...
and then something will kick in, and i'll be "on" and everything will be fine, i know it. and i'm looking forward to the evening, too. last year, travelling around and meeting people in real life who i had only chatted with here taught me how much i do enjoy meeting people, and how much i need connections in my life, connections of my own.
so tomorrow night, despite my trepidation, i'm going to go and meet her friends, and be bright and smiling and silly, and have fun.
and if i'm able to come home, i'll be here, telling you how it went.
if not, i'll be on her couch. *grin*
good night mayo. hope your saturday is a good one, with plenty of smiles.
many here are their own.
i am pretty sure of this.
where is the line drawn?
i do not know.
Hahahah, Amyranth assumed it was about "the bitch" that she hates.
It is about Mayo.
You going to starve Mayo, Amyranth? Somehow I doubt it. Somehow I think you will keep "feeding" him to "save" his blog. How is life on the cross.
How is life on the pedestal, 8:13?
You anons talk a bucket load of shit sometimes.
It's amazing that Amyranth assumed it was about someone she hates. No one specified a name. She ASSumed. First of all, she probably posted it. Second, ALL of that applies to her.
Do you know of anyone else who is so pathologically attached to a blog that they thought it was their duty to "save it from poetry and quotes"?
Guidelines?
And evidentally she is like this in real life too. Her co workers staged a walkout on her one day. Wasn't she the one who said that if people keep telling you the same thing you should think about it?
But she has the inability to look at her own behaviour..... Which has been appalling.
I actually feel sorry for Mister. He's in for a hell of a life with an egotistical tyrant.
It is a behavior that has been well-documented in communities across the internet; this individual becomes a member of a community in an area of interest and proceeds to create dissent and cause havoc.
Mayo didn't become a member of this community. Mayo is the creator of this community. The landlord. The CEO.
If you were talking about Mayo, one might think you choose that inaccurate description to create dissent and cause havoc.
One could say you set a trap in order to sit back and watch who stepped into it. Then, you would proceed to mock, humiliate, belittle and poke them with daggers.
You monsters should expect a raise in rent.
There can't be more than 1 person who has behaved as badly as you described. There can't be two, three or four monsters whose bad, rude behavior across the internet can be easily documented by a simple search.
I call that appalling 12:08. Do you see the monster when you look in the mirror? I see it. It's clearer every time I read your comments.
Tell us "anons" How long did it take your group to devise this plan and build the trap? You could have done much better, nicer, more productive things with your time. The energy you wasted!
1:13
I do not believe the original comment came from any group. I think it was an honest observation that a number of people here have also observed in the not too distant past.
Why do you think it is a trap?
That is IF 12:46 comment was about Mayo with the intention of trapping Amy or anyone else.
Either way
So refreshing to see how much fun was had at Amy's expense this morning.
*snark*
1:39 I don't believe it was a trap either.
My comments were addressing these comments trying to steer the "herd" in a different direction.

They do love to fuck with peoples' minds while trying to humilate them dont they?
12:56 is unlikely to be about Mayo. Of course it is no surprise that others rushed in to deflect attention.
Amy is cool and on the right track I suspect...
I agree 1:46. The worker bees were sent out to do the work. I think they failed today.
At least they derived some pleasure from mocking, pushing and trying to sting Amy.
Amy, YOU were the one who started this by ASSuming. You and your sockpuppets know that could and does describe you. Here and in real life.
We could do what 8:13 and 12:08 did with the hahahaha's at the ASSumptions and statements such as
I actually feel sorry for Mister. He's in for a hell of a life with an egotistical tyrant.
March 14, 2009 12:08 PM
but I don't think any of us want to be that monstrous and egotistical.
2:02 Careful when stepping off the pedestal. You have yourself and those you like up so high there's no way any of you could survive a slip and fall.
I wonder what 12:46 thought the reaction of the person he/she alludes to would be when they read what was written.
I very much believe people with personality disorders are capable of extreme reactions.
I guess we ain't seen nothing yet!
I very much believe people with personality disorders are capable of extreme reactions.
That's been documented too. Do you think they're sitting at their computer printing out pictures of those they hate and cutting the faces out? I wouldn't be surprised.
We don't Carrie. They do try to steer things in the direction they want them to go. Read 8:13 12:08 and 2:02.
About Mayo, PLEASE.
Actually Carrie I believe this place has become some people's lives and therefore they are capable of anything.
It has become apparent over the that there are some people here who do not have any personal friends and, other than the sick/disabled, you don't have to look to far to see why they don't.
Have a nice day at the deli Carrie.
its the best way to be carrie.
i hope work goes well for ya.
nobody wanna see demz together
sharky don't care what people say bout him and his friends
i'm here for ya babes
*comes in singing (and still having aural sex with this one)
Gimme Gimme Gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
LIVE PERFORMANCE = more aurally + visually sexual!
*big smile*
Good afternoon/evening/night Mayo, SS, Carrie, Ergo, Amy, Sweetcheeks; various anons, watchers and lurkers!
How is everyone today? Good, I hope!
Amy: I know how lucky The Mister truly is. Futhermore, I know how lucky The Mister thinks he is. And, I know how lucky The Mister's family thinks he is for finding and catching you!!!!
In conclusion, The Mister is one lucky and smart mister!
:P
Sweetcheeks: I'm sorry! I forgot to send the song, didn't I? WEll, "Gimme Gimme Gimme", by Beseech, is on it's way to you right now!
Carrie: I hope you're having a good day at work!!!
Ergo: How are Motley and Crue today?
*smoooooooch*
Well, that is all for now. Enjoy what remains of the day/night, everyone!!!
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

PS: I must now go hang over my backyard fence and play with my neighbor's pit bull. That dog is so sweet and said neighbor never touches him. Said neighbor seems to be afraid of his own dog! Poor doggie! Well, I love that doggie and I pet and give him smooches from over the fence. Tinker Belle does not like when her mommy does that. She tries to get through the fence and eat the pit bull!
^I do believe that was the longest PS I've ever written!^
Hi PJ, Guardian Angel, Angel, Andrea and Emily!
Amy: I know how lucky The Mister truly is. Futhermore, I know how lucky The Mister thinks he is. And, I know how lucky The Mister's family thinks he is for finding and catching you!!!!
That is your opinion. We can have ours. We are just having fun. You like fun anons,don't you?
Anons talking about "bees" using that mini essay against Amy. Hmmm I wonder if you think those bees are orange.
Who was the first one to turn that against someone after it was posted? To use it to point fingers, accuse, hurt?
Not surprisingly it was Amy.
Now why did she assume it was about ones she hated?
Because she is the "anon" who posted it. This whole thing was her intent.
I sometimes think that many of you are 'too close to the situation' to see that but believe me.... To any one who was never emotionally invested in this blog it is clear.
She wants to 'save' a blog from poetry.
This was her plan when she posted this this morning.
How else would she know the intent of the one who posted it unless it was her?
Too bad she can't see those 'monstrousities' in herself.
Okay "anon"! Let's compare our brand of fun, shall we?
Here is everything I said a couple of nights ago whilst having fun with "bump and cha cha":
Here we go. Are you ready?

Can I be a Saucy Nightie?
Or maybe I should be the Slinky Nightie.

As long as you're not Nightie Nurse! That one is mine!

Anon: I think you're going to have to do a lot of bumping to get us to the next page! You might require a Nightie Nurse for youself to deal with hip injuries. I'll try to find a male nightie nurse for you! Unless, you prefer a female nurse, of course!

LOL 11:53! I'm going to have to give you an A for effort and another A for making me laugh!
Plus, it rhymes! You get yet another A!!!
Sweetcheeks: I sent it yesterday, I think!

Now, we shall move on to your brand of fun this morning...
Your brand of fun "anons"

And, you continue with that brand of fun. I don't call that fun. I call that bullying. I call that cruelty.
Please, continue with your brand of fun "anons". I'm sure you are amusing so many of us!
Where does Amy state she knows who personality disorder anons were talking about?
I think she only agreed, rightly in my opinion, it was best to avoid such people.
I'm leaving for awhile now, "anons"! You are free to come back and say whatever you want about me! But, I will be back later!
Again, enjoy your cruel brand of fun "anons"!!!
*blows kisses*
*runs back in to say hi and agree with 5:00*
You're absolutely correct, 5:00. Amy and 2:01 did not name any names either!
Interesting how those "anons" ASSumed she thought 12:36 was talking about a certain person, isn't it? What, with the ASSuming they said Amy had done.
Only, Amy didn't mention any names. They did mention Amy, by name, repeatedly. Interesting and strange, methinks.
Okay, now I must be off!
*blows final round of kisses for now*

Hi Everyone
Just got in a book written by Leonard Nimoy. You know, Spock. Anyway I wanted to share this piece he wrote….
Searching for me,
I wander
Through a house of mirrors.
I see a myriad of images,
But none are mine.
Only distorted reflections
Of a stranger.
Someone I’ve met
But don’t really know.
I cry out my name,
But the hollow echo that responds
Tells me I must wait.
It is not yet time.
One more by Mr Nimoy....
I am not immortal.
Whatever I put off for later
May never be.
Whoever doesn't know now
That I love them
May never know.
__________________
Okay I gotta admit I had never read his stuff before and I'm really enjoying it.
hi elena
those are really interesting thoughts by Mr Nimoy. Thought provoking and true
Hey Ergo
So did you just raise your eyebrow (like Spock) when you said that?
If I could raise one eyebrow I sure would have!!
I just had a guy sell me a whole bunch of really unique books..
Metallica and Philosphy
Hardcore Zen Punk Rock Monster Movies
The Jaguar That Roams the Mind - Amazonian Plant Spirit Odyssey
Harley Davidson Philosphy
Ghost Hunter Books
Timothy Leary books
A very interesting lot
oh sounds fascinating!
I am intrigued by the Hardcore Zen Punk Rock Monster Movies
hey could you check your email?
Just arrived home, Ergo
Will do now
*sighs*
I ♥ spock. Great quotes Elena.
thanks Elena
I am sorting my clothes, it is scary how much i have collected and no longer wear
hi anon
why the *sigh*?
The sigh was for spock. ^_~
Hi and bye Ergo.
ah gotcha anon, he was/is pretty cool as a character and a man
have a good day :]
Anybody ever try reading Mayo's poem backwards? It's neat!
Also, Hallo!
Elllleeeeenaaaa....
Errrgoooooo....
I just got a really funny comic book at the store. It's called Whatmen, and it's a parody of Watchmen. I love it.
Hi Amy
that sounds interesting! lol
Ergo, it is~
They took a 300 page comic, and condensed it into around... 20, I think. And they use every gag applicable for the characters. Rorschach is "Nutsack". Dr Manhattan is Doctor NYC, Ozymandias is Ozzy Mandas, stuff like that. Good for a giggle, unless you take the comic really seriously.
But even then, a spoof done in good taste is funny.
I always used to like MAD magazine for the movie and TV spoofs they did. my dad used to buy it back in the 70's so we are going back a ways, they are still at my olds and still funny
Anybody home?
hello J!
Hello Ergo, what's going on in your world tonight/today/etc? We're having some rain tonight, it's been sort of sprinkling all day. And L's talking to Wendy on the phone. :)
Hey guys
Hey BC, how are you?
*waves to L*
*waves to wendy via L*
not a lot going on, it's sunny and I ma clearing my clothes cupboard and tossing stuff
I have a meeting in just over an hour though
Hi BC!
Hey J, how are you? Feeling better? I'm doing okay, thanks.
Hiya ergo
We've been cleaning out things, too, looking for eBay fodder. We have about 60 items loaded this time, spent from 10 pm to 4.30 am last night/this morning. VERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY sleepy, and to beat all, I think I'm getting sick again. :P
Is it a "seekrut" meeting, Ergo? ;)
unfortunately not J lol
it's for a work thing and will be a very dull 2 hrs, except that I really like the people
It's training to do something I can already do, but you have to do the training regardless
me!
me!
YAY!!
*happy dance*
*takes pictures of Ergo doing happy dance*
*tacks them up on Mayo's bulletin board*
Excellent! Great shots, Ergo!
Ooh, sorry about the meeting. Two hours of unneeded training, boy, that's wonderful. O_o
oh you got my good side :D
