That is not me
Through the mirror
From which I see
Spouting lies
And histories
None that matter
Not to me.
In reverie
I am fabled
Often wickedly
Sprouting eyes
like mysteries
A ghost blown curtain
Through which you see.
And it cycles
Its cycles.
I do not know why.

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 4808 Newer› Newest»EP, I'm a Wood Sheep. Don't know exactly what that means. Maybe I'd make a great wood eating farm animal, although don't sheeps eat grass. I don't know. LOL!
But that website (I mentioned above) was very detailed and as I was reading it I thought, wow, they have me down to the tee.
Hey Elena, I'm glad to hear that everything is better in your neck of the woods.
A Rose for Emily...
Bergamot, I loooooves the smell of Bergamot.
oh carrie!!! thank you :] *mwah*
LOL
*grabs you for happy dance*
I noticed a page back when I came back with my tea
oooh yes Carrie it is a lovely scent, and I love earl grey, just so soothing
emily the addition of the elements alters the chinese zodiac signs, I find I am more fire sheep than just sheep, it also alters the compatibilities a bit amy
I love the different scents of coffee. I think when its freshly grounded it just does something to me. That's probably why I'm always wired and can never sleep but I'm just too use to my coffee. I like tea but I don't think I can function without my coffee.
Maybe that's what they mean by Wood Sheep EP. I'm very stubborn and hard like wood. Very set in her ways. Hahahaha!
A Rose for Emily...
I'm a Yin Water Boar, and he's a Yin Fire Snake.
The only thing I can figure is that water quenches fire, and helps to keep it under control.
I like the Western Zodiac way of it. We're both Earth signs, and the level of stability and patience is such that we're like two mountains, side by side. We're very, slowly, not going anywhere together.
I read that in a book somewhere.
I like coffee and I generally use ground and a plunger (or at a pinch a good instant) but just find if I drink it in the afternoon it affects my sleep....and I do luuuurve my sleep!
there are sites than combine the both, which can be interesting, but really people still vary enough that the best match can be a failure and the supposed worst can work beautifully
It's a lot more complex than any astrology I think
"We're both Earth signs, and the level of stability and patience is such that we're like two mountains, side by side. We're very, slowly, not going anywhere together."
That's a very endearing quote Amy. Maybe someday I'll be lucky enough to say that about my future hubby/sheep. Only time will tell.
A Rose for Emily...
Emily, it is, isn't it? I think that's why I still remember it after all this time.
Ergo, so true. But you know, I've met people who are incompatible by starsign, and they really can't make it together in real life.
Or maybe I just really lucked out. (I did. I know it.)
Anyway, I'm going to go. I woke up early this morning for nothing, so I need to catch up on the 4 extra hours of sleep I could have had. :P
Goodnight J, Elena, Ergo, Emily, BC, and Carrie!
Goodnight Mayo and SS!
I think that too EP. It's a give and take with astronomy. You never know what the future holds but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll meet my future sheep someday.
Baa Baa Wishes, and Baa Baa Dreams.

*comes in singing*
Well it looks like I'm a dumbass
ass, I dropped the ball again
'Cause the woman I love is pissed at me saying this has got to end
Now I tore it up late last night - got way too drunk, it's true
Can I somehow make it up to her? Is there anything I can do?
You've got to tell the girl you're sorry for anything you ever said
Tell the girl you're sorry for making her wish she was dead
Tell the girl your'e sorry for leaving her alone and cold
Tell the girl you're sorry for being such an asshole
So she tells me she's getting really really tired of the crap I tend to pull
Like showing up where she works naked covered in baby oil
Now I'm trying really hard, trying really hard, trying to keep my evil side in check
But sometimes you just gotta kick the cat and deal with what you get
Tell the girl you're sorry for being such a selfish jerk
Tell the girl you're sorry for not caring that the kitty got hurt
Tell the girl you're sorry 'cause the two of you still ain't wed
Tell the girl you're sorry for being such a shit head
I'll say I'm wrong
Will this take long?
No need for you to go on and on
I earn my keep
Just give me peace
I swear I love you
Let me sleep
Now it seems that I must apologize even though I think I'm right,
'cause lordy knows, hone, if I don't there will be no nookie tonight
So I slowly turn to the woman I love saying, baby, baby, baby please
Then I watch her smile and point to me saying, Get down on your knees and...
Tell the girl you're sorry for everything you never said
Tell the girl you're sorry for giving really lousy head
Tell the girl you're sorry for feelings you can never show
Tell the girl you're sorry for being such an asshole^I loves me some COWBOY MOUTH!!!!!^
*they're so romantic*
:P
They shall be playing right before KOL next weekend!
:D
Hello Mayo, SS, Amy, Ergo, J, Em, TJ, Carrie, anons and lurkers!
How are you all tonight? Are you all having a good weekend? I hope so!
J: Thank you for passing along the info about Elena! I'm so glad she's okay!!! I know she had to be worried half to death about her daughters! Thank goodness they're all okay!
Amy: We have goats, now, too???!!! I'm not going to be the goat keeper. I have enough trouble watching the sheep and milking the cow!
Ergo: *smooooooch*
Sweetcheeks: Where are you?
Carrie: How are holding up, love? How's your mom?
Em: Good to see you again!!!! What's new with you?
Hugs and Love,

Hi PJ!!!!!
Goodnight Amy.
A Rose for Emily...
Cheesy book rec, House of Scorpio by Pat Wallace. An Avon book from the 70's, the price on the cover is $1.95, but the hubby shelled out over 20 on some site because he knew I lurved it so much. Six sisters of differing astrological signs live in the fantasy world of Zodiaca, and there's a murder mystery and intrigue and romance and just overall cheesiness. It's my comfort book, like comfort food, I probably read it every couple years or so. :)
YAY!!!!!! Comment number 616!!!!!
Spooky!
:D
goodnight Amy
emily I think you have to trust your instincts regardless of what anything says.
Though I'm an earth-earth match too and I think we are both really stable which is good, him moreso than me
have we lost carrie and J? hope the fur baby medicating is going ok
hi wendy! *smooch*
Crap, it's late!! I should take my sorry ass to bed. Wendy, thanks for asking, my Mom, she's okayish. I've been kinda ooky this week because I was sucking it all up while I was at home because I was being all non-downer for her, but crying and throwing fits is just part of the process, I guess. Still trying to get my head around it, to be totally honest. And goodnight, guys!
Hey Wendy, it's been a while. How have you been? I'm good, enjoying the summer/spring weather. We've all been talking about Chinese Zodiac Signs tonight.
Did I read right? Are you going to see KOL? Your so lucky. I've never seen them play live other than the internet and we all know that ain't the same thang.
A Rose for Emily...
oh there you are Carrie! I love books like that, they are just good reads, entertaining and not too heavy
Goodnight Amy, carrie sweet dreams.
Hiya sugarlpum, how are you? You're never gonna believe(Okay maybe) who sent me a friend request today on myspace ^_^
*blows kisses*
Goodnight Amy, sleep well!
HEY WENDY! Cowboy Mouth = Good Stuff. Fred's the man!
Well, Fur Baby Dumplin would NOT take his pills. Fur Baby Logan DID take all his liquid cherry Benadryl. And to top it off, the lights flickered for like, 2 seconds, and the computer just politely turned itself off. So now I'm back.
Goodnight Amy, Carrie and anyone else who went to bed.
Sorry it took me awhile to respond. I was dancin' along to Cowboy Mouth!
*hugs Carrie*
It takes time, Carrie; and, it never goes away. You just learn to live with the (physical) loss.
*hugs Carrie again*
Did J and my Sweetcheeks go to bed too?
:(
How was your day, Ergo? Did you do more shopping?
Goodnight Carrie, have a restful sleep.
carrie it is all part of it, and you'll come through it, it's best to just allow it to be and know that it is all part of the process and it will change as time passes, You know so many people have your best interests at heart, both near you and far
sweet dreams
(and have you read Nora Roberts? I like her books, There is a set called Key of Light, Key of Knowledge and Key of Valour. (I had to google it) the story you said reminded me of it)
"Did J and my Sweetcheeks go to bed too?"
O_o
You know somethin' WE don't know, BC? :D
There they are!!
Hi J and Sweetcheeks!!!! Did ya'll have a good day?
Em: YES!!!!!! I get to see them at Jazz Fest next Saturday! I'm not excited about that all! Can't you tell?!!
;)
J: Fred IS the man!!! Maybe he has a special hat I can borrow for the day?
:P
I'm so happy to hear L will be back "home" on Tuesday!!!! Have you told her how much we miss her?
I'm still here sugarplum ^_^
I'm good too wendy, no shopping though , just housework and lazing
Goodnight Carrie.
Oh Wendy, please take pics of them. I'd love to see a close up of those green eyes. Oh god, I wish I was going. :(
A Rose for Emily...
I spent my day indoors sugarplum. It's been storming and raining all day. It stopped about a couple of hours ago.
How was your day?
Wendy, I'm green with envy.
EP, those books sound really interesting. What's the author's name?
A Rose for Emily...
Whoops, sorry EP. I reread the post. Nora Roberts right?
A Rose for Emily...
"You know somethin' WE don't know, BC? :D"
This should've been to WENDY, not BC. I get y'all's pet names mixed up all the time. Sorry!
her name is Nora Roberts they are romance novels but I think written better than many, good for rainy day/lazy day reading she has written sooo many and I especially like the trilogies and such she weaves the stories of each book into each other
she also write a future set crime series as J D Robb all called "*something* In Death" they are pretty good too I ahve read all of them, didn't initially know they were the same person
Well, Fur Baby Dumplin would NOT take his pills. Fur Baby Logan DID take all his liquid cherry Benadryl. And to top it off, the lights flickered for like,"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So, a typical night at Punk Central... except for the flickering lights and we're still down one punk! But, not for long!!!!
Sweetcheeks: Are you okay? You've been so quiet lately.
Ergo: I'll do some shopping for you tomorrow! What do you want?
Well ladies, this was a quickie! I must be off. Stuff awaits!
Have fun and don't stay up too late. (That does not apply Ergo, since I think it's afternoon there. I could be wrong though.)
Goodnight Sweetcheeks, J, Ergo, Em, Mayo, SS, lurkers!
Sweet dreams to one and all!!!
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

Goodnight PJ!
*runs back in*
My day was good, sweetcheeks! Thanks for asking!!!
I keep forgetting to ask; has the semester ended at school?
*blows night night kisses to blogbelieve*
I've told her, Wendy, and when I do, she always says, "I miss them too!" And she loves her parents, but she's more than ready to come home.
That rash she has is called "vasculitis". It's an infection of the blood vessels brought on by all the different meds that were pumped through her in the hospital. The blood vessels absorb all that new medication and then have to purge it somehow. Thusly, the nasty rash. The dermo put her on prednisone yesterday, and tonight she said that the rash is disappearing rapidly. Still itches, still hurts, but there's nowhere near as much of it as there was!
And...
IT'S NOT CONTAGIOUS! Never was. She could've been back last week. Oh well, it's all worked out.
Thanks EP. I need a good beach read for this year.
Wendy, who else is playing Jazz Fest. this year?
J, you have pet hamsters?
A Rose for Emily...
umm always love new shoes (if you hadn't guessed)
goodnight wendy sweet dreams
and it is only 4:30 here
and it wasn't contagious!! nice to know now!
but good they can treat it with something, and I'm sure her parents loved having her, considering how close they were to losing her
Goodnight Wendy. Hope you have fun at Jazz Fest. Can't wait to hear the details.
A Rose for Emily...
I'm doing okay sugarplum. Really. But thanks for asking. I got about less than two weeks left of school left, and than I'm done. But with that, I got vacations coming up, which means it'll be time for me to start looking for employment again.
And guess which band sent me a friend request earlier today? That band you saw last year in Finland. What's their name?......The Jade, or something like that ^_^
Goodnight and sweet dreams *blows kisses*
Goodnight Wendy, hope you get some sleep!
Um...hamsters? No, no hamsters, Emily. Sometimes it feels like we have one of everything, though...:D
Dumplin and Raindrop are my cats; Pinkle and Logan are Lisa's bunnies; and PFF (say it "Piff") is the betta. "Fur babies" just covers everybody's menagerie, instead of naming them all each time. :D
Yeah, Ergo, they were shaken up a lot by this whole episode (I guess that's as good a name as any for it). Her mom was especially glad to be able to take care of her youngest for a long while. She LOVES taking care of her kids, even though they're all grown now, and two are married with kids of their own.
I would think they are excellent beach reads Emily
BC when does your vacation end?
Awh, you have cats and bunnies. You picked really sweet names. My sister recently purchased two guinea pigs for her daughters and they are so precious. They named one Bubbles and the other one Buttercup. They are so soft and cute.
A Rose for Emily...
Ergo, the fall semester starts on August 30th, so I'm guessing August 29th is the last vacation day.
Aw guinea pigs! They're so cute! I had kind of wanted one, but instead Lisa "inherited" Logan through a co-worker whose friend didn't want the bunny anymore. He's very small, weighs about 3 or 4 pounds, is grayish silver, and makes little grunty noises--just like a guinea pig! So he's the next best thing.
And yeah, he's named after Wolverine. ;)
I have 2 new guinea pigs, Binky and one who's name keeps changing - never ask a 7 yo to name things and decide straight away lol
at the moment it is Super Guinea Pig
Super guinea pig? lol.
Anything beats "Hannah Montana", though.
Denis Leary does a great routine on "Lock and Load", I think it is, where he talks about his kids trying to name the new dog. (This was many years ago.) One suggestion was Pizza. The whole routine is hilarious. I love Denis Leary, he's so snarky.
Yeah they are so adorable. They're both females and they make great company for each other. They run around their cage and are so still when you pet them. I know I'm going on like a little kid but I never had hamsters or guinea pigs growing up. My mom never allowed pets like that in the house (cause I think deep down she was afraid of them). So its funny how I finally get the pleasure of knowing what its like to own them even if its vicariously through my nieces. Haha!
A Rose for Emily.
Pizza? How do you name a dog Pizza? That is too funny.
A Rose for Emily...
I'm off for the night. Goodnight everyone.
Oh my cow, it's 3 AM already? I had no clue! I swear my sense of time is abandoning me. Got to get to bed so I can be rested for Day One of Cleaning!
Goodnight Ergo, Emily, and BC! I enjoyed talking with you ladies tonight. Sleep well.
love, faith, hope, peace, happiness
Goodnight BC.
A Rose for Emily...
it has been Tungo for a while but she decided she didn't like that
goodnight BC, goodnight J
sweet dreams
Pizza would be a cool name though, make you hungry all the time though!
the guinea pig in Tales of the Riverbank was just called GP (with Hammy Hamster)I loved that show
Goodnight J. Hope to talk with you soon.
Well EP, I think I'm gonna call a night too. This was a really fun chat tonight. Hope to do it again soon. Oh before I forget, remember the guy from the coffee shop I was telling you about. Well, we've exchanged a few words, but now I haven't seen him in like three weeks. I hope I didn't scare him away. But anywho, I'll keep you posted if I see him again. If I did scare him away, I'll be mortified but lets hope not. Here's to wishful thinking.
Goodnight everyone.
A Rose for Emily...
SS! Baby! Sweetie! Honey!
Oh, now why would you think I want something? All those pet names? No no no, not me. I don't want anything.
Well, not much.
Ok, here's the deal: you come clean my apartment, and I'll, um...uh...give you something REALLY special as a 'thank you'.
Yep, I got a shiny new quarter with your name ALLLLLLL over it.
...
What? Quarters are good. Especially when you save up four of them. Then you have a dollar.
What's that you're muttering? Something about 'don't need quarters'? Hmm...oh wait, I know.
Chocolate cake. Is that better?
Would the apartment ever get cleaned, though, that's the question. ;D
Goodnight, Precious. I love you.
My heart to yours, always.
oh hope he has just been busy or away or something, I'll keep my fingers crossed, but even if it isn't with him at least you managed to break the ice, so next time you can be braver
sweet dreams Emily
always good to chat with you
Likewise EP.
I hope its work related too. Well see though.
Oh well, I'm off to bed. Goodnight.
A Rose for Emily.
Remember, everyone you meet has lost something, is afraid of something, and loves something.
and I hope we just let elena because of her internet connection!

Mayo
A very intense night. Seeing the destruction of homes hit by the tornado just made me realize once again how quickly everything can be lost. But then again, sometimes we loose what is most precious to our hearts slowly. The light fades and we do nothing to keep it alive. Why is that?
Take care, you who I will always treasure as a friend.
Night Mayo
Elena

goodnight blogbelieve see you in my morning

sdock fasc missT hope you're having good weekends
the tornadoThis is the link Ergo posted last night but there has been more video added. I know the man being interviewed in one of the videos. Thank God no one was injured during this tornado but I believe that because of the wonderful advance warning everyone was given it really helped. I sat and watched as the helicopter followed the tornado while it was on the ground. IT was scary watching it move over landmarks I recognized. And of course knowing it was coming my direction. Today the weather is supposed to get bad again. I'm keeping my fingers crossed we don't have another night like last night.
Good Morning everyone!!
*Catching up on last night*
I love Nora Roberts as JD Robb. I haven't read anything by her that isn't from the In Death series, but I've heard her romance novels are incredible. Also, I believe she writes for Smart Bitches, Trashy Books, or something like that.
Elena, my fingers are crossed for you and your neighbours too. I hope there are no more destructive twisters.
Wendy, I suppose you don't have to take care of the goats. I think the one I have can take care of himself quite well. ;D
Emily, nice to see you around again, pop in soon and we'll talk cakes!
Anon, that reminds me of an email I got once, a long long time ago.
No matter where you go, somebody loves you.
Somebody thinks you have nice hair, even when you hate it.
Somebody loves your smile, even if it's crooked.
Somebody thinks you look great in those jeans, even if you're having a "fat" day.
Somebody appreciates your thoughts, your wit, your kindness and your voice. Even when you think you're stupid, unfunny, or nasal.
Regardless of what you think, somebody likes these things about you. Appreciate yourself, and somebody will be happy.
(Or something like that.)
DELIGHT IN DISORDER
A SWEET disorder in the dress
Kindles in clothes a wantonness :
A lawn about the shoulders thrown
Into a fine distraction :
An erring lace which here and there
Enthrals the crimson stomacher :
A cuff neglectful, and thereby
Ribbons to flow confusedly :
A winning wave (deserving note)
In the tempestuous petticoat :
A careless shoe-string, in whose tie
I see a wild civility :
Do more bewitch me than when art
Is too precise in every part. "
by
Robert Herrick
I'm almost positive I have that poem in a book upstairs.
If not that, then something similar to it.
good morning!
How's it going Mayo?
anon, nice, precise has it's place but it's the unexpected that makes things interesting
Hi elena really hope the weather doesn't get as bad as yesterday
Hi amy, you should try a Nora Roberts, though they are easy reads they have more complex stories than your run of the mill romances, great if you want to just relax.But have to agree the J D Robb's are the best.
Well, I hope you're happy now.
Amy, miranth,
Blackhawks won yesterday. They're leading the series 3-2.
i hope you are happy now 6:49. :)
Hi BC,
good on the Blackhawks!
(and now could you tell me what they play? lol)
Hi ergo. Blackhawks play professional hockey :)
ah hockey, we don't really get it played over here, there are teams but it's not a big sport at all
hi anons, I'm happy too :]
it's such a nice day here today I can even tolerate going to work!
EP is happy with the weather.
BC is happy about the blackhawks.
Herrick is happy about the delights of disorder.
Amyranth is happy about JD Robb and appreciating things.
Elena is happy her family is safe and no one was hurt in the tornadoes.
It looks like most of us are happy today.
Not only that anon, but the Bulls won today as well. And today's been a gorgeous day with a bit of breeze, so all in all, it hasn't been a bad day.
I hope yours was well
and the Bulls play basketball?
sounds like your teams have been pretty successful, is it near the finals?

Oh, now why would you think I want something? All those pet names? No no no, not me. I don't want anything.
Well, not much.
Ok, here's the deal: you come clean my apartment, and I'll, um...uh...give you something REALLY special as a 'thank you'.
Yep, I got a shiny new quarter with your name ALLLLLLL over it.

Because Frank loves chocolate cake so much?
Please. Could you be anymore obvious.
Ergo, yep. Right now they're in the first round of the playoffs.
cool BC hope they keep winning
I'm off to work and will be back later
take care all!
BC, I saw the game!
There's still two left, it's anybody's series!
*shakes fist*
Amy, is your team leading the series?

Lots of people love chocolate cake.
It's not like she mentioned sucking on twizzlers "anon".
BC, I don't think so, I think the Flames might be out. I'm sure that Chicago has won 3 games to the Flames 2 games.
oh shit, I made an error. I forgot your team was playing against mine :S
here's hoping elena and her family will be safe tonight, and throughout this dangerous season. no dorothy re-enactments, elena!
j., amyranth, i got your emails, and wil reply a little later tonight. it's so good to hear from you!
hello blogbelieve. :)
She is just so obvious. She wants every one to know of her 'special connection' with Frank Iero. 'Anon'....
What special connection? They both like chocolate cake?
gotta go take a call, will be back a bit later. :)
11:07, lol I think the other anon just made it look that way. Almost everyone likes chocolate cake.
Hi and see you later tj ^_^
I love chocolate cake, and I have a special connection with everyone who loves chocolate cake.
So long as they have their own.
hallo amy
The 'special connection' that some of us read about on MCRumourcontrol. The one that the OP's have with SS/Frank.
Hey Anon! Do you know SS?
in response to 11:52's comment to show how no one cares:
*churp*
*churp*
*churp*
The only reason I asked was because they sounded so sure that SS was Frank. But how could they know that? Nobody's ever met SS.

Hello Mayo, SS, Sweetcheeks, Amy, Ergo, various anons, insects and creatures of the night!
How are you all? Good, I hope!
Ohhh... I LOVE chocolate cake too! I guess I have a special connection with Amy, my Sweetcheeks (well, that goes without saying) and over half the people in the world!
German Chocolate is my favorite. I must have an extra special connection with everyone who loves German Chocolate cake!!!!!
I have some very dissappointing news. My shopping trip was a complete bust. I simply could not find the perfect Jazz Fest hat!
Yes, I did retreat; but, don't worry. I shall not surrender. Never! I shall the perfect straw hat sometime this week!
:D
Hugs and Love,

Ooops! I do believe that should have read:
"I feel my heart beating heavy"
I also believe I should not have squirted so much bluing in the washing machine while my white tanks and t shirts were in it!

hello!!
interesting start to my work trip- coming across accident on the way, fortunately no one was hurt but could have been much much worse, ute and flatbed semi trailer, luckily the semi dodged the old guy in ute on the wrong side of the road -though old guy's car ended up on it's side against a grassy bank- and no one was coming opposite way (and by grace of both of us being held up leaving our homes myself and my sis in law- first on the scene were not involved!)Had to call the police etc.
after that the rest of the day seemed quite calm
my gosh, ergo, how thankful no one was hurt! coming across a car accident always reminds me how quickly our lives can change.
Ergo!!!! *smoooooch*
That was quite an eventful start to your day. Like you said, thank goodness no one was hurt. I hate seeing accidents.
:(
I'm glad to hear the rest of your work day was calm!
I hope Elena is having a calm night ~ weather wise ~ too!
I'll (probably) be back a bit later. Hopefully, I'll catch you then!
hi TJ it sure does. So lucky he wasn't killed, it's a blind curve heading up a hill, the semi had only a fraction of a second to see him and make a decision
how are you?
Mayo
Tonight was very special for me. I attended “La Soiree Francaise” presented by The American Opera Studio. Yes, to be honest this would not have normally been something I would have chosen to attend but there was a reason. Flighty was recently accepted and is the youngest member ever asked to join. And yes I am soundly like a very proud mom.
We were served Spinach & Artichoke Dip, Broccoli & Cheese Petit Quiche, Brie & Raspberry on Baguette, Bleu Cheese & Pecan Toasts, Pâté (yuck), Crème Puffs, Custard Éclairs and Mango Cake. Oh and wine, lots of wine.
But the best part was that Flighty was given the opening spot. Yep, she was chosen to perform first and she was wonderful. She sang “Automne” Thank heavens the program had the lyrics in English because believe me the two years of French I took have long since left my brain. But the French she sang sounded beautiful. (total proud mom moment again).
Anyway, I just wanted to share that with you. It’s storming here again and I needed to get some work done before my Internet goes out. Hope you had a special day too. Take care.
Night Mayo
Elena (just not into that liver)
Hi and bye sugarplum *blows kisses*
Hey tj, ergo
Be safe elena. Goodnight and sweet dreams.
i'm doing well, ergo -- quilt week is over and i get tomorrow off! yay!
congratulations to flighty, elena! that's so wonderful, and i can just imagine how beautiful she must have sounded. such great news (now be safe!).
oh hi wendy!
after that yr8 maths is a doddle
hello bc. :)
Hi guys
I'm working so pretend I'm not here. LOL
How is everyone tonight?
hi BC
hi elena how wonderful for her! and you are very rightly proud I bet she sang beautifully, and the dinner sounds pretty darn good too!!
sweet dreams and stay safe!
Doing alright elena, drinking some tea. How about you? Congrats on your daughter's performance
oh hi
(to someone who is so obviously not here, I will just speak out loud while admiring this wonderful floral arrangement)
I'm good thanks, sounds like you had a lovely time
hey elena, i'm doing good, glad that tornado didn't come closer. *whew*
I did have a lovely time. Only thing I didn't like was I had to "dress up" for the occasion.
Flighty had told me ahead of time I had to dress nicely. So naturally I had to mess with her. I told her since it was "French" I would wear my bustier The black and red one with spiders. To her credit she just laughed and rolled her eyes.
Oh yeah TJ that tornado was just a bit too close to home.
I really hope this isn't going to be a bad tornado season. Right now we are getting tons of rain and so now we have to worry about flash floods in the area.
LOL elena, well it IS french!
what did you wear, elena, instead of the bustier?
and i hope it isn't a bad season, as well. i'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you.
Oh I had a basic black top with a long jacket. So do you still have the bustier I gave you?
i bet you looked great, elena!
and i do have it -- it's hanging up in my closet, waiting to be worn again. i still love it. :)
can't go wrong with classic black
I am waiting for winter so if I go out I can wear my good pants and jackets, too damn hot in summer
You can never go wrong with basic black. So very true.
I even wore heels. And didn't fall off them. Score one for me.
hooray for you!
I won't loan you my 4 inch ones then?
No do not loan me 4 inch heels unless you are trying to off me. I'd break my neck.
you'd look fabulous, elena! ;)
time for me to say good night -- glad i was able to talk a little with you elena and ergo! and you too, bc!
sweet dreams. :)
mayo,
went outside for a little while tonight, just like last summer i can hardly resist the lure of the night sky here at my folks' place.
i went out to the front yard and just stood there for the longest time, looking at the constellations, enjoying the scent of the night air, listening to the crickets at my feet and the whipporwill in the distant trees.
and then a shooting star, directly overhead, making a long lazy line eastward. it wasn't falling, mayo, it was soaring, golden orange and huge, trailing a line of sparks like a summer firework.
amazing.
beautiful.
good night, mayo. don't forget to look up every once in awhile.
goodnight TJ
sweet dreams
I'm just catching up some paperwork
are you doing your work elena?
and were there any tornadoes about today or was it a quiet night
Goodnight tj sweet dreams
Night TJ talk to ya soon.
Yep Ergo I'm working. Okay that's a total lie. I should be working but I'm off at e-bay looking at silver jewelry. I just found the most ugly vintage silver dragon/snake bracelet. It is so ugly I love it.
Hey I need to go. The thunder is getting louder and the lightening much brighter.
Night Ergo and BC. Talk to you both tomorrow.
Night again, Mayo
Night, SS. Miss ya.
stay safe elena. Goodnight.
hahahaha
well call it product research lol
oh be careful elena!
goodnight
It's later and I am back... only to say goodnight though!
Elena: It sounds like you had a great time last night! You go ahead and do the 'proud mom' thing all you want!!! You have every reason to be proud your very talented daughter!!!!! Congratulations to you, your husband and Flighty!
Goodnight Mayo, SS, Ergo, Sweetcheeks, Elena, TJ, Amy and lurkers!
Sweet dreams to one and all!!!
Hugs and Love,

Moon Milk
"A ray is caught in a bowl,
And the cat licks it, thinking that it's milk;
Another threads its way through tree-branches,
And the elephant thinks he has found a lotus-stalk.
Half asleep, a girl reaches out
And tries to rearrange the moonbeams on the bed
To share the warmth.
It is the moon that is drunk with its own light,
But the world that is confused."

Sudraka
thanks g'nite, that is beautiful
Mayo
It's cold! I sorta like cool/cold nights but not when I was nice and comfy on the couch and then when I stood up all my exposed bits got cold air on them (ooh err!) I'm off for a nice warm shower and bed. Huge day tomorrow, take care if I don't get to call in.
much love EP xx
SS
Do you like cold nights? isn't it nice snuggle under the blanket sleep weather. That's my favourite part, not though the realising I should have put warm socks on when I thought of it 2 hours or so ago, not decided to stay on the couch as now my feet are cold, so I'm off to bed, look after yourself
lotsa love EP xx
goodnight blogbelieve see you in my morning
♥xx♥
...
Your great palace
Stood here, I heard;
Your great hall
Stood here, they say, but
Spring's grasses
Now grow thickly;
The mist rises,
Hazing spring sunshine:
Your many stoned
Palace's place:
A sad sight, indeed.
Mayo-chan!
Hi, how are you this many a day? Saturday was a very nice and lovely memorial for my honored Gran. So many people turned out to see her off. Family members I haven't seen in years and some I've never even seen before. O_O And lots of friends. My Kung Fu friends showed up, even. I printed up a ton and a half of pictures. The whole thing was exactly what it should be.
We don't have funerals in this (immediate) family because we're not very churchy or funeral-y. No wakes, either. I like it better that way.
My god(dess)daughter spent the weekend too and we hung around with my other cousins, played with the dogs outside, but mostly played video games all weekend. We beat FFVII (that's like my 9th time or something O_O ) and then beat the first part of RE2 (my second time.)
And then there was a huge robbery somewhere in the neighborhood and some guy stole a car, and there were billions of cop cars and even a police helicopter. They hovered over my block for about forty minutes shining the huge spotlight everywhere until around 1:30 AM. It was pretty sexciting.
Yesterday it was eighty five degrees up in this bitch. Eighty five degrees! I was really happy. But today it's back down to sixty five. WTF? How can it change so quickly? I'm ready for the hot weather. Gardening, baby birds, Bob Marley, the beach, and poolsiding with my friends.
"Poolside" is a verb out on this island. :)
S(S)S, are you psyched for Spring and Summer? Which season is your best season? Me, it's always the season I'm currently in, or that is coming up, that I say is my favorite. But really I think that Summer and Autumn are my top favorites.
OH MY GOD! I just remembered, I want to show you guys something cool.
Flyaway, - How A Wild Bird Rehabber Sought Adventure and Found Her Wings . One of my very good friends did the illustrations. And guess what? Some of the birds that I raised are in this book.
How cool is that? It's aces. :)
Well guys! Enjoy the lovely Spring. ^_^ And, I hope something comes along to make you smile. Heck,s crew smiling, I hope you guys get to full-out ROFL.
Also! Are you guys going to go see Wolverine when it comes out? I'm going to. Not the day it comes out of course (too crowded, plus that's Beltane!) but maybe the following tuesday after school.
Oh yeah, I have one more week of vacation, then school starts again.
Yeah, I'm psyched about seeing Wolverine though! :D
Hey Jules!
GAMBIT!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG, GAMBIT!!!!!!!!
I've had a crush on Taylor Kitsch for a while now so I'm soooo happy he's playing Gambit! :)
Hee-hee.
Hey, if you guys want to LOL for real, go see OBSESSED. I laughed so hard at that movie. Beyonce put the smackdown on a Hero! Seriously!
But some guy in the theater was laughing the whole time and I couldn't help but laugh with him.
Mayo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GAMBIT AND WOLVERINE! YHUUUSSS!!That is all.
For now.
^_^
I never even heard of Obsessed. :)
And I'm kinda fuzzy on my X Men, too. But I am a big fan of Huge JackedMan and I like the Wolverine character. I'll bet you and Solly are going to go see it together, eh?
Well, my crow is walking around my kitchen getting into junk. O_O Better go see to him.
Where did kol anons go? I miss Nathan picspam. :(
Come back pls?
Hi everyone, how are you all?
Thanks Ergo, I had a great weekend. The grand prix was great, Ferrari got some points on the board. I hope you had a great weekend too.
Elena, thanks for the headsup on the don't panic book. I love Douglas Adams. Have you read the salmon of doubt? It the last book after he died and it is a mish mash of of the things he was working on.
I'm so glad you are OK after the tornado sweetie.
J, I'm so happy that L is coming home tomorrow. I'm sure being busy will be worth it to have her back.
K, thanks for the story of how Saturday went sweetie. I hope you all shared some amazing memories.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARRIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"On a dirt road in their love she feels the deer run. Moon glazes them, dazes grape arbor and pelt. He devours her just as she consumes him. Owls hoot, iced in billion-year-old light. The dark is a gourmand. It fingers the red maple’s coarsely-toothed pubis. Licks the sycamore and tulip, swallows the bee winds. On a dirt road after their love, pumpkins bloat the fields between corn shocks, dogwoods gnaw their eyes. Then they hide."

good morning, flying visit to say hi

7 Great Side Jobs for Extra Cash
by Cherie L. Berkley, PayScale.com
Strapped for cash? Many people are in these trying times. With growing unemployment, salary cuts, and the rising cost of living, plenty of Americans are seeking additional avenues to increase cash flow. Check out these seven hot side jobs that can be done around your 9-to-5 and with skills you may already have.
1. Dog Walker. Even in a recession people don't skimp on their furry loved ones. Therefore, being a dog walker can be an easy sell, especially for other people who need to work two jobs to make ends meet. The double bonus here is you can get great exercise while racking up extra bucks. You can also walk dogs before or after your full-time job. Dog walker median salary per hour: $16.29.
2. Handyman. No matter where the economy stands, things still break that must be fixed. When you are good at fixing things, word travels fast. It's possible to make a small mint fixing cars, installing water heaters, and doing home electrical and plumbing jobs. Consider how much a full-time car mechanic or a plumber charges. Even if you discount your rate, the pay is still good, and customers feel like they got a deal. From painting to fence-building, there are plenty of household jobs many people can't do or simply don't want to. Handyman median salary per hour: $17.33.
3. Medical Transcription. Are you a fast typist with excellent grammar and a medical background? If so, medical transcription may be for you. This job often calls for at least one year's experience in a hospital or clinical setting; some ads require transcription experience. Tools you will need for this job likely include high-speed Internet and Microsoft 2000 software. You should also be prepared to take a skills test. Medical transcriptionist median salary per hour: $13.78.
4. Wills/Medical Power of Attorney. While planning for the inevitable can be upsetting, it provides a way for attorneys to make extra side income. Lawyers can get up to speed on formulating simple wills and living trusts without too much effort. Completing these documents is something most people agree is essential but have not checked off their 'to-do' list. Talk to friends, church members, and neighbors to generate clients. Potential clients are likely working or have other commitments just like you. Therefore, being available outside of business hours makes meeting up more convenient for everyone involved. Attorney median salary per hour: $55.66.
5. Income Tax Preparer. Preparing income taxes is one of the most dreaded have-tos among Americans. There are plenty of people who would be glad to pass off their tax preparations to someone else if for no other reason than the fear of being audited. Donald Cheatham, owner of DC Tax Group, turned his side job into a small side business. He chose this off-hours gig because of the high demand and he enjoys accounting and the extra money.
"I work 50 to 60 hours a week on my main job [as an accountant] and another 25 to 35 hours a week for my part-time job during tax season. So it gets a little hard at times and usually sleep is the one thing that I don't get during tax season, but it is well worth it," says Cheatham, who started up in 1995 in Chicago. While it helps your credibility if you are a certified public accountant, this certification is not required. The median salary for an accountant per hour: $18.19; CPA median salary per hour: $26.25.
6. Teach a Hobby. Whether it is dance, tennis, golf, computer skills, or music, teaching someone how to do something you are good at and love makes working a second job less like, well ? work. You can find teacher job ads at recreational centers in your neighborhood or advertise your expertise online and in local publications. Dance instructor median salary per hour: $18.58; Music teacher median salary per hour: $21.28.
7. Babysitter. This job is convenient, especially if you have kids. After all, you can make money with them right nearby. Offer to watch your friends' and neighbors' kids so they can take a breather, and they will love you for it. Another option is to help people who work nights. Finding a 24-hour daycare service is difficult, to say the least. Caring for several kids on the same night can compound your earnings and get you extra cash more quickly. Babysitter median salary per hour: $9.00.

Nighty night blog xxxxxx
Major KOL picspam? :D
Caleb whacked Nathan across the head with a frying pan and Nathan repeatedly stabbed Caleb's mattress with a kitchen knife and dislocated Caleb's shoulder? They like to play rough. :)
Ooh, I didn't have this one yet. Gotta love old school Caleb. And ONTD. ^_^
Gotta love any Caleb! :D
The most beautiful thing I have ever saw or heard. Never give up!You gotta love the way she "sits em all down" Than makes them stand up."True Talent"
Wonderful personality and amazing talent. She is beautiful.
Thank you for the link KOL. I've been looking for this scan for a week. Oh and I loved the YouTube link of "sassy Caleb" doing Razz. ♥
Her singing gives me chills. I think Simon's in love. It's written all over his face.
Susan Boyle
cry me a river
hello and happy bday carrie! hope it's been a good one! :)
Whether is a "plant" or not, she's got an incredible voice, and I have to say, I love the fact that in the UK that her style of singing is seen as marketable.
I haven't watched a lot of American or Canadian Idol, but I saw a few of the preliminary shows, and they focus more on the pop/rock style and the look, instead of actual talent.
And Happy Birthday Carrie!!
Man, birthdays and cake talk. I need something sweet, brb.
they focus more on the pop/rock style and the look, instead of actual talent.
-------------------------------------
Many of the tabloids out there currently seem to focus on whether or not Susan Boyle is going to get a makeover. Can you believe that shit?
Anyways, hallo Amy. Hey there tj, happy birthday Carrie.
hello amyranth! i haven't had a chance to hear the clip of her singing, but i love the story. i like the idea that there are remarkable people undiscovered in every corner of the world.
so, kapunua mentioned beltane, and i was talking about it the other night, that quote at 4:51 from stephanie dickinson felt very beltane...it's totally on my mind this year, i'm really excited for it, and all that has had this song running through my head at odd intervals:
"Tra la! It's May!
The lusty month of May!
That lovely month when ev'ryone goes
Blissfully astray.
Tra la! It's here!
That shocking time of year
When tons of wicked little thoughts
Merrily appear!
It's May! It's May!
That gorgeous holiday
When ev'ry maiden prays that her lad
Will be a cad!
It's mad! It's gay!
A libelous display!
Those dreary vows that ev'ryone takes,
Ev'ryone breaks.
Ev'ryone makes divine mistakes
The lusty month of May!
Whence this fragrance wafting through the air?
What sweet feelings does its scent transmute?
Whence this perfume floating ev'rywhere?
Don't you know it's that dear forbidden fruit!
Tra la la la la! That dear forbidden fruit!
Tra la la la la!
Tra la! It's May!
The lusty month of May!
That darling month when ev'ryone throws
Self-control away.
It's time to do
A wretched thing or two,
And try to make each precious day
One you'll always rue!
It's May! It's May!
The month of "yes you may,"
The time for ev'ry frivolous whim,
Proper or "im."
It's wild! It's gay!
A blot in ev'ry way.
The birds and bees with all of their vast
Amorous past
Gaze at the human race aghast,
The lusty month of May.
Tra la! It's May!
The lusty month of May!
That lovely month when ev'ryone goes
Blissfully astray.
Tra la! It's here!
That shocking time of year
When tons of wicked little thoughts
Merrily appear.
It's May! It's May!
The month of great dismay.
When all the world is brimming with fun,
Wholesome or "un."
It's mad! It's gay!
A libelous display!
Those dreary vows that ev'ryone takes,
Ev'ryone breaks.
Ev'ryone makes divine mistakes
The lusty month of May!"

BC, tabloids aren't exactly known for their stellar work in the field of journalism. Next week, they'll be more concerned about Angelina, and if she's going to have breast implants with her impending pregnancy with her 40,000 child with Brad Pitt.
Or something.
Teej, May IS a lusty month, isn't it?
*twitters*
hello bc!
one can only hope so, amyranth. *heh*
" Mayo
It's cold! I sorta like cool/cold nights but not when I was nice and comfy on the couch and then when I stood up all my exposed bits got cold air on them (ooh err!) I'm off for a nice warm shower and bed. Huge day tomorrow, take care if I don't get to call in.
much love EP xx

Do you like cold nights? isn't it nice snuggle under the blanket sleep weather. That's my favourite part, not though the realising I should have put warm socks on when I thought of it 2 hours or so ago, not decided to stay on the couch as now my feet are cold, so I'm off to bed, look after yourself
lotsa love EP xx
goodnight blogbelieve see you in my morning

Your great palace
Stood here, I heard;
Your great hall
Stood here, they say, but
Spring's grasses
Now grow thickly;
The mist rises,
Hazing spring sunshine:
Your many stoned
Palace's place:
A sad sight, indeed.

You must have missed how much fun it was last night.
And tonight too. poetry, friends.... I guess none of that is really happening.
Sorry, didn't mean to quote Ergo.
11:35, that's okay, I'm sure she won't mind being a minor inconvenience.
*giggles*
Thanks so much for all the birthday wishes, you guys!!!
No, EP has class.
I guess none of that fun stuff really happened.
No problem Carrie.
But you're gonna have to fight me for this slice of cake.
Being as I didn't even get a cake, and you're pocket-sized, I think I'm gonna win, but I'm feeling magnanimous, so you can have it. :)
Oh but anon. Those people don't MATTER, don't you see?
carrie, no cake? oh my gosh, there must be a ginormous blogbelieve one in the kitchen for you then -- no birthday should be without cake (even if it has to be an imaginary one!)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARRIE!!!
Man, I was hoping I'd make it in time.
Looks don't equal talent, that's what I say, Amy. Reading about that sort of thing pisses me off.
Big hello to the birthday girl! Hey carrie :)
Hey TJ, I shared a Twix with the hubby though, so there's that. :) It was more because of me, I'm going to make a concerted effort to lose some freaking weight, and I didn't want to start off with a big ole cake in the house. An imaginary one is cool, though!
One Giant Fantasy Cake coming right up!
Ergo!
Oh ha!
Thanks, Amy, that looks yummy, and there's more than enough to go around.
