I hate to see you
When you're falling apart
Can't you start over, again?
Elizabeth crumbles
Alone in her chair
Keeps her windows shut
To keep out the air
Elizabeth crumbles
Alone in her bed
Spends all her pastime
Mulled in her dread
What keeps her living
Is her fear of being
Anywhere other than here
So they’ll feed her too much
Or it’s never enough,
Then it's fuck you
“Get the hell out of here!"
Elizabeth stumbles
Over everything I've said
Pining words are useless
Pushed round in her head
The mystery was my bravery
I never knew what I'd get
Will it be her fear or regret?
Her confusion my denial?
Walked her shoes a while
Now she can’t turn back
So she said then she’ll stay
And I will walk away
Elizabeth mumbles
Over and over my name
Forgetting tomorrow
Will never be the same
She’s repeating her beating
Did you bring her a drink?
Why are you leaving?
What the hell do you think?
That she’ll fuck you
To get the hell out of here
Elizabeth tumbles
Out onto the floor
With an abandon of reason
It is herself abhorred
She sat alone in her room
Pouring over her gloom
Never got out of her chair
And they don't even care
Now that they’ve all receded
Into the ground or fleeted
To the wormholes
And woodwork back there
You'll find repair
Where that memory
Becomes illusory
Look, again?
p.s. in the end it is what you think you will get.

Something by Stevie Ray Vaughan!
A Rose for Emily...
I reckon we can also put on some Bad Things by Jace Everett. I kinda like it :D
I hope I'm not all alone in here. I just peaked. I can't be alone, I need people to rejoice with me.
LOL!
A Rose for Emily...
Well poop! No one wants to dance with me. I shall have to hit the dance floor alone!
*hopes the mirror is free from smudges and the video cameras are working properly*
~Five Finger Death Punch (FFDP) ~ Never Enough~
*grabs her sweetcheeks by the hands and forces her dance*
And, with that sneaky move/dance move, I must be off for now!
Goodnight Ergo, Sweetcheeks, Em! It's been fun!!! Thanks, take care, stay safe, goodnight and sweet dreams to one and all!!!!
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

Phew!!! Thank goodness I'm not alone. Hey BC, did you finally get to see the Gaga video with vampire Eric? Was he not delish?

Know what I did today? I slept. Yep, I got up, felt like shit and decided to lay back down. Several hours later I got up, washed the dishes then took a nap. When I woke I folded the laundry, watched the episode of “Daisy of Love” I missed then I took a nap. Holy crap I can’t remember the last time I slept so much. And the bad thing is I’m still tired and my tummy hurts. This blows.
Now aren’t you glad I shared my day with you? LOL. So what did you do today? Was a nap involved? Probably not. You just don’t strike me as the nappin’ type. But then again, maybe you are.
So anyway during one of my naps and I have no idea in hell which one, I had a dream. It was freaky and a bit disturbing. I was in my car driving along when suddenly I hit this patch of road that was nothing but mud. Big old ruts and the car started to slide down this hill and on both sides of the road were big lakes. I was so scared the car was going to go off into the water. I’m very afraid of water by the way and I started to scream as the car kept sliding toward the edge of the road. I must have been thrashing around because Stormy came in and shook me wanting to know what was wrong. So I guess I’m wondering if the car slid off the road. Hell I’m wondering if that really meant anything at all. Okay if I had to guess I’d say it’s me realizing my life has hit a bad patch with so many things happening and I’m afraid I’ll just lose control. Then again, maybe because it’s been raining so much lately I had that dream. We do live out in the county and the roads are pretty muddy. But I’d more than likely go off into a ditch or pond. Wait, what if it was a warning? Oh who knows? Why worry, right? Whatever is going to happen will happen.
Now I’m tried and I’m gonna go lay down on the sofa and watch some TV until I fall asleep. I know I don’t need to say this but you gotta know by now I’m going to – I miss you. Hope good things are keeping you away from here and that you are very happy. Take care, okay?
Night Mayo
Elena (bogged down but still okay)
It sure has been fun darlin'! Goodnight Wendy, until next time.
Goodnight Elena.
A Rose for Emily...
*runs back in to snuggle Em*
Snuggles are nice after peaking! I'll always be happy to do my part!
;)
Goodnight (again) sweetcheeks and Em!!!!!
oh elena hope you feel better soon
take care
♥
sorry emily I have my girl home so I'm up and down a bit
we got a parcel from elena and she just tried a twinkie
oh I missed the goodnight from wendy
goodnight wendy sweet dreams
Oh, I got a hug from Wendy! That was really nice.
EP, I was having having a lonely attack. I thought everyone had left.
Now, what is this business with the twinkies and can I get one. You know once you've peaked, pastry is the best way to recover. Hahaha
A Rose for Emily...
I bought 9L of extra virgin olive oil today, as it was on clearance sale, now I have to find a place to store it!
lol I have never had one at all, we don't get them over here so elena sent me a packet, that and Ho Ho's
Phew!!! Thank goodness I'm not alone. Hey BC, did you finally get to see the Gaga video with vampire Eric? Was he not delish?
-----------------------------------
Yeah I did! He was totally smokin in that video ;D
Goodnight elena, sugarplum sweet dreams
So EP, this is the first time you've eaten a Twinkie? How did it taste? Personally, I love them.
BC, didn't I say he look yummy. Yummy like a delicious blonde twinkie. LOL!
A Rose for Emily...
they are nice
sort of tasted orangy to me, like an mild orange cake, the filling is nice
Ho Ho's are yummy too , I like the cohocolate
I know what you mean. I love me some chocolate too. Oh, I remember when I was a kid how much I loved to eat this pastry called Funny Bones. It was like a Twinkie but the outer shell was a chocolatey fudge and the filling was a gooey peanut butter. Delishhhhh....
I wonder if its still in the market?
A Rose for Emily.
oh wow you guys have such amazing variety of food
a lot of sweet and high fat stuff though, lol you'd have to be careful
Alright, its late ladies. I'm gonna call it a night, have to catch up on my sleep.
EP & BC, hope to chat with you ladies tomorrow.
Goodnight everyone!
A Rose for Emily...
Goodnight and sweet dreams emily. It was great chatting with you
"you'd have to be careful"
I know that's why I haven't eaten those pastries in like years. But they were really good. LOL!
Goodnight EP.
A Rose for Emily...
As far as Twinkies goes, I prefer eating ding dongs.
(No seriously, that's what they're called. Lol)
I think elena is sending me ding dongs next BC!
goodnight emily, sweet dreams
Awesome! Lol. I like them better than twinkies :)
I am amazed at the stuff you have over there
time for dinner, see you tomorrow BC
have a good wednesday and sweet dreams
Thanks ergo. Enjoy your dinner :)
I'm off for the night, so goodnight to ergo, anyone lurking.
*hugs blog and blog friends*
good morning blog
*hugs anon*
good morning to you

I tried a Twinkie today. It was a big deal in a way, as to me they were only ever things you saw on tv; referred to in many a sitcom, finding the factory in Family Guy, adverts in American magazines... As I said earlier, they had an almost mythical quality. Their name seemed to promise some unattainable delight, judging by the reactions of those lucky enough to actually partake of them, And I am now one of those people. Proudly owning my very own box, and they are pretty nice, very sweet and a great accompaniment to a cup of tea. I doubt I could eat more than one at a time though. I also had a HoHo, which are very nice. Afterwards I was a little sugar rushed (I'm not a big sweet tooth) lol.
So here is hoping you get to experience something you may have thought only other people got to have.
much love EP xx
SS
How's things? Hope the world is treating you well. If a cat is watching you undress, is it thinking "Holy crap!! How can you take your fur off???". I was just wondering, Hope you find the answers to your random questions
Lotsa love EP xx
goodnight blogbelieve, see you in my morning
♥xx♥
Well summer is officially here for us. The past few weeks have been rainy and cool but now Mother Nature has decided to “show us the heat”. Today they are predicting the heat index will be 100. So it’s time to turn on the central air. Which for a lot of people would be no big deal. For us, it’s a major undertaking. All the storm windows have to be closed first and believe me we got a lot of windows. And since this house is over 100 years old the windows are antiques. Yep, they really are. They still have the ropes and weights and some of them, antiques that they are, don’t really work. So you push up the window and pray it’s not gonna come down on your head while you’re wrestling with the storm window. Good times, good times. You know having this many windows is nice in the spring but in the summer not so much. Tomorrow it’s gonna be even hotter, oh joy.
Well I hope wherever you are today is a good one and not too hot.
Take care everyone.
Elena, I hope you get to feeling better soon! My throat still hurts, but I am hopeful that I'm on the way to recovery.
My trip to Charleston the other day just pissed me off! Because it wasn't long enough! I want to go back!
My friend and I took a combination land and sea tour. I really enjoyed the land part. We were in an air-conditioned bus or van and they drove us around to some areas that I normally don't get to.
I especially loved going through the College of Charleston campus. It is beautiful. I would love if Lauren decided to go there. She used to say she wanted to go there, but has recently been looking more locally.
The sea tour we took was out to Ft. Sumter. The best part of that tour for me was the boat ride. But, I've been to Ft. Sumter before, so it wasn't that great for me. I've gone on a Harbor Tour before and I liked it better.
Back on the peninsula of Chas. we went to eat at Hyman's (a usual stop for me). They have the best fried oysters and scallops I've ever had! After dinner, we walked around downtown some before heading back home.
One day is just not long enough! I want to go back soon! I looked at some of the hotels and B&Bs online last night and found one B&B that is running a $101 a night special right now. I might could do that!
Most of the places are $249 and up and I've stayed at some before but just can't afford that now. Maybe we could stay cheaper at some place away from downtown and just drive in.
The parking situation is awful! Paid parking everywhere almost! Pfft! I looked at one of the 5-star hotels there with their cheapest room is $349 and they charge $20 a day for parking too. Not to mention the 12.5% tax on the room! Pretty Expensive!
I may have to watch some True Blood today!
Take care!

The Bee
Like trains of cars on tracks of plush
I hear the level bee:
A jar across the flowers goes,
Their velvet masonry
Withstands until the sweet assault
Their chivalry consumes,
While he, victorious, tilts away
To vanquish other blooms.
His feet are shod with gauze,
His helmet is of gold;
His breast, a single onyx
With chrysoprase, inlaid.
His labor is a chant,
His idleness a tune;
Oh, for a bee's experience
Of clovers and of noon!
by -
Emily Dickinson
Bee enthusiast is a porchie. Just so you all know. Orange little bees?
Watch your backs. It's a ploy.
Watch your backs. It's a ploy.
A ploy to what exactly? A ploy to actually share nice pictures and a poem? So if anyone clicks or reads they are supposedly contaminated by "Porchieness?"
How silly.

Nope
And, "Porchieness" is like what exactly? The Swine Flu?
You do know they proved that had nothing to do with the little piggy's right? ;) Killed them all for nothing. :(
It's nice to see you Bee Enthus, I was having a very bad day. A nice surprise catching you here. I almost didn't check. That's a very lovely poem and equally as lovely picture. I've never seen such a flower. Almost, but not quite. And I think that poem makes the bee sound like a little Roman solider.
Cool. (And probably very fitting. At least it seems so, for this day.)
I hope you are well and happy. I hope that goes for everyone. Bee well.
Opps, and:

For all you know, Bee Enthusiast might be Mayo.
If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies.
Flutters
The Genesis of the Butterfly
The dawn is smiling on the dew that covers
The tearful roses; lo, the little lovers
That kiss the buds, and all the flutterings
In jasmine bloom, and privet, of white wings,
That go and come, and fly, and peep and hide,
With muffled music, murmured far and wide.
Ah, the Spring time, when we think of all the lays
That dreamy lovers send to dreamy mays,
Of the fond hearts within a billet bound,
Of all the soft silk paper that pens wound,
The messages of love that mortals write
Filled with intoxication of delight,
Written in April and before the May time
Shredded and flown, playthings for the wind's playtime,
We dream that all white butterflies above,
Who seek through clouds or waters souls to love,
And leave their lady mistress in despair,
To flit to flowers, as kinder and more fair,
Are but torn love-letters, that through the skies
Flutter, and float, and change to butterflies

- Victor Hugo

NEW MUSE!!!!!!!!!
:D
Hey there, Ergo
Great news about Muse!
Hi elena, I have been waiting :]
this means we'll get a tour too I hope, next year. Thye are already touring europe up through december
you good? apart from hot? get all the windows shut?
House is cool and it's hotter than hell outside.
it's nice here, it's cool but normal autumn, we had a cold snap last week, it's lovely and sunny
come over!
Okay Ergo I'll be there soon. Let's see it's morning for you so how about dinner? What are you making?
a sort of mexican chicken thing, with tomato salsa, sour cream, cheese and avocado
I am just making it up really, maybe some rice too
you like?
Sounds good and since the weather is turning very bad I'm glad to get out of here. LOL
you be careful!!!
I'm going for a walk soon, I'll take some pics of our mandarin tree and the creek
Will do. The tornado on the ground is still pretty far from us but I have a feeling it will be a long, stormy night.
ok I'm off for a bit, I'll be back a bit later
you really really be careful, I do not like the T-word!!
They are starting to show the live feed from Norborne Mo. The town got hit pretty hard and the pictures are heartbreaking. Still no word if anyone was killed.
Hey, Elena, Ergo, you guys still in?
Elena, I hope you are ok. The weather can be brutal.
Holy crap so I'm watching the show "I survived a Japanese game show" This is some weird shit.
Oh hi L
I didn't see you.
Hey, Elena! How are you doing?
I saw some of those game shows. You don't even want to know what one of them was. Let's just say it was on a late night HBO show.
They really do some crazy stuff. Human torpedo would make me puke. You spin around and fly across the stage to hit cans then land in flour.
Which answers the question "What can we get people to do for money on TV?"
looking at reality shows I'd say pretty much anything.
I can't imagine letting someone into my home with a camera crew 24/7. Why would you sign yourself up for that?
because some people crave attention.
Still, what kind of attention is that?
(Just flashed on John Cleese saying "What kind of talk is that?!" in the parrot sketch)
Any attention, good or bad it doesn't matter.
I love John Cleese!
That's true, I guess. But still!
Are you feeling any better? How's Mr. Elena?
Have the storms gone through?
Woo Hoo Hooooo!
Woo hoo hooooo!
hoo hooooooooo!
Debbie just hit the wall
She never had it all
One Prozac a day
Husband's a CPA
Her dreams went out the door
When she turned 24.
Only been with one man
What happened to her plan?
She was gonna be an actress
She was gonna be a star
She was gonna shake her ass(ass)
On the hood of White Snake's car
Her yellow SUV is now the enemy
Looks at her average life
And nothing, has been...
all right since
Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she's uncool
Cuz she's still preoccupied
With 19, 19, 1985
Woo Hoo Hooooo!
(1985)
Woo Hoo Hooooo!
She’s seen all the classics
She knows every line
"Breakfast Club", "Pretty In Pink"
Even "St. Elmo's Fire"
She rocked out to Wham!
Not a big Limp Bizkit fan
Thought she'd get a hand
On a member of Duran Duran
Where's the mini-skirt made of snakeskin?
And who's the other guy that's singing in Van Halen?
When did reality become T.V.?
What ever happened to sitcoms, game shows,

Mr E is still not up to snuff but than neither am I.
Still we go on cause what else are you gonna do?
Storms seem to have calmed at the moment which is good.
What you up to?
Amy! Yep, that song hits just a LITTLE too close to home...LOL, but I love it. Raise your hand if you can remember when MTV played actual videos!
Elena, I know the feeling. Drag on, sister, drag on! Tell Mr. E I hope he feels better. We just had thunderstorms go through here too, not as bad as you did, but off and on all day, and pretty rough tonight.
Hey L and Elena!
I remember when Muchmusic played videos, and it's been about 10 years since they last did!
Or it feels like it at least, we didn't get MTV here until about 6 or 7 years ago.
I remember when MTV first premiered. It was a big deal back then, when even cable only had about 25 channels. We would get MuchMusic on one of the other channels, as a 2 hour show. I don't think the channel it was on even exists anymore.
Holy Wha!
Much used to broadcast outside of Canada? Weird!
Hate to cut it short, guys, but I'm pretty tired, so I'm gonna call it a night. Hope you are all well and have a good day tomorrow.
Elena, BC, Amy, Wendy, Ergo, Mya, Lewis, TJ, Miranth, Emily, S.S., Miss T., Anima, Anons, Lurkers, John Boy, Elizabeth and anyone else I missed,
Have a Good Night and Sweet Dreams!
Love,
L.
Hey Amy
Night L
Take care
Night L, see you later!
Hey Elena! Floating tonight?
Why yes, Amy.
That pretty much describes me tonight.
Anything new in your world?
Mister just went through his sock drawer and informed me that he's got a bunch of leg warmers for me for the winter time.
Welcome to Canada.
i saw a girl driving a car the other day, and she was wearing a headband. one of those thin little decorative ones.
Oh leg warmers what a memory. I had bright pink ones.
Hi I'm back from walking and collecting mandarins
how are you L, amy?
elena glad the storms have settled
I need to get a bunch of those cloth headbands before summer really hits.
My legwarmers would be black Elena. And they'd say STARTER on the side in blue.
And they'd have a big, misshapen heel spot on the back.
STYLIN!
oh goodnight L sweet dreams
and hi TJ!
you could slide a few on amy and have thigh high leg warmers!
Hey Ergo
Hey TJ
hi amyranth, ergo, and elena!
i'll confess to the legwarmers -- but only for one season, and then i was done with them.
but i did wear those rubber bracelets.
I actually went to a concert once dressed like Boy George back in the day. Bunch of small braids, fedora hat...
Wonder if mom still has the photo must seek out and destroy.
Hey Ergo and Teej!
Ergo, I only need to use one. I'm short, remember?
Damn, I'm missing wipeout!
See you later guys!
oh boy I want to see it if she does!!!
TJ I had legwarmers too, *sigh*
even a self-knitted pink pair
If nothing ever changed, the world simply wouldn't be(e). ;)
I hadn't realized you'd come back! I'm sorry. We could have chatted. Maybe some other time, Bee and Butter. It is nice to read you, whomever you are or aren't. I appreciate the friendly words here. (I'm sure many do.) I feel that is something this place could always use more of.
Now that poem is many things. Like dreams. Beautiful, wishful, sorrowful. I like the 'soft silk paper that pens wound.' (So true.) Thank you for that one Enthus. Once more I hope you are well. It is always inviting to see such words. (Especially on a day like this.) :) Hope to read you again sometime, Enthusiast.
goodnight!
bye, amyranth!
elena, that photo is a must-see.
i had an outfit that was all john taylor in style, complete with the flat white shoes and fedora. and i wanted andy taylor's little wrestling shoes, but could never find them. shoot.
see you amy!
Pardon me ladies, but I believe Toujours had wanted more information about the Dead Series? I apologize that my ole dinosaur will not allow me to make links!
http://www.charlaineharris.com/
I hope you find that helpful! Goodnight Lovelies!
Bee well! :)
See ya Amy
No TJ, just plain no
lovely to see you tobee
and that was me asking about it so thank you very much for the link :]
Opps! Sorry Ergoproxy! I hope you find it helpful! The books are very addictive! Enjoy you're night everyone!
bye! :)
please, elena, pleeeeeeeeaaaassssse?
lol, tobee -- i'm already a fan! but thanks. :)
I just saw a thing about that girl in Italy up on murder charges, wonder what actually happened
Hello my friends! I'm only here for a minute; I've been working around the apt today and am whipped like cream. ;D Just wanted to say hi and goodnight to you before I go to bed. Hopefully I'll be able to come in sometime and actually spend a little while longer than 2 minutes! Hope you're all well, talk to you soon!
xo jen
Dear SS,
I had great plans to leave you something encouraging, inspiring, even thought-provoking.
Instead, you're getting Eddie Izzard, one of the few comedians who's made me almost pass out laughing. This clip is from "Definite Article", and casts a whole new light on band instruments. (No, not THAT kind! :D)
Goodnight, Precious. I love you.
My heart to yours, always.
hello and good night j.! sleep well!
hi J
bye J
sweet dreams, hope to talk more next time
Still no TJ
Hi and Bye J
*pouts at elena*
i'm trying to copy down some instructions for making a nifty pincushion -- it's the kind of site that i don't like though, where you have to sign in to download, and although they offer the step-by-step without membership, it's one of those page-by-page dealios, and each page takes forever to load. *sigh*
but it's a cool design, so i persevere.
Stop pouting TJ
That's just the way it is. LOL
What are you trying to make?
sounds interesting TJ
I am browsing my cookbooks for soup ideas, while folding clothes
I am going to cook vichyssoise this weekend
like the the "Dead" song elena
I am Dead sure that's what he says Ergo.
Seriously that's it. I've listened so many times that now when I sing along I sing vichyssoise.
But then again Ergo when I first read your comment I thought you said you were fondling clothes.
hahaha
"is that the vegetables you can get??"
..."give me the vichyssoise!!"
LOL Ergo
Good Lord that's what I think he's saying too.
But why, Gerard? Why?
I could fondle them if you like!
Well don't let me stop you..fondle away.
got the instructions!
oooh, i returned to find you all fondling...something. my gosh. is that even moral?
lol
elena, i'm working on getting my new sewing kit all geared up and ready to go. i have a brass box, and a new pair of little scissors (with a custom-made leather sheath from one of the local artists), needles and a pattern for a needlebook, glass-headed pins and now this pattern for a pincushion. :)
i still need some good quality sewing thread, two small spools i think, one cream and one black. and later i'll add beeswax. i'm making a lining for it too, so the items don't rattle around in the metal box.
it's one of my travel kits that i'm putting together. :)
I can sew on a button that's about it.
haha, i was just checking in at my twitter, and paul f. tompkins was posting alternate film titles:
PFTompkins Live Man Merely Sleepwalking #nicerfilmtitles
about 1 hour ago from TweetDeck
PFTompkins Dr. We'll See #nicerfilmtitles (James Bond edition)

PFTompkins Jaw #nicerfilmtitles
about 2 hours ago from TweetDeck
PFTompkins The Belief-Systemfather #nicerfilmtitles
i particularly like the james bond one. *heehee*
elena, i can teach you how to not only sew a seam, but make your own buttons! (i know a neat trick for making them out of fabric, from the 13th century. *grin*)
lol they are funny TJ
the sewing kit sounds good
That's okay I'm not very handy at making things, TJ.
But I'd love to see some you've made.
ok TJ, how do you make buttons out of fabric?
i could post a pic of my kit once it's done, if you guys would like to see it?
the button thing is pretty neat -- you take a little scrap of fabric and gather the edges, then pull it up so it's like a tiny bag. secure that, flatten the little bag, then start taking stitches at the edges and pulling them to the center. you keep pulling them in and securing it, building it up, until you have what looks like a little ball of fabric!
well, it's difficult to describe, but it's neat. they were just starting to use buttons in english and european clothing then, the usual kinds out of metal and wood and horn, but also these.
yep I want to see a pic of the kit and the buttons sound cool.
I can picture what you mean TJ! that sounds really neat!!
thanks, guys! and i'll a post a pic, too. :)
i'd better get to bed now, though. it's good to chat with you guys! good night elena, i hope you feel even better tomorrow, and good night ergo, hope you enjoy the rest of your day!
sweet dreams. :)
goodnight Tj sweet dreams
I've finished fondling clothes now, time to put them away
Night TJ
Talk to you tomorrow.
Ergo, now that you have happy clothes you're just gonna put them away. Doesn't sound fair to them.
it's just the way I roll , elena, just the way I roll.....
mayo,
at work, we're doing a big push to get as many of our fabrics online as soon as we can. the store computers were down for a long time, and the bulk of our customers shop us online. i'm the one doing the scanning and website stuff; i like it but there are still glitches that make me want to tear out my hair in frustration.
this past week i've been catching rides in to work with my folks alot. not my favorite way to commute, but my usual ride hasn't been available and my folks have had to come into town for medical stuff anyway.
but the two stresses combined have made me a grumpy cuss in the morning, and no doubt about it! it's a good thing my boss doesn't arrive until about a half-hour before we open -- that gives me a couple of hours to scan and curse at the computer in peace.
the one thing that has really helped has been listening to my mp3 player. all those songs are gifts, they really are, no matter what they're about. the gentle ones soothe me, and the loud ones give me a place to dump my frustration.
having my music with me in the mornings has been exactly like having my friends there, each song, each band.
i guess they help me stay who i truly am, even when i'm doing something i'd rather not do.
good night, mayo. i hope you have little gifts like that, too, little things that always cut through the static and bring you back to your authentic self.
Well roll on Ergo.
Fondle those clothes and keep on singing vichyssoise.
We roll alike you know. Talk to you tomorrow.
Mayo
So I’ve been thinking about something and I want to bounce this off you. Okay that sounds really weird but I think you know what I mean.
I’ve always held the belief that when it’s your time to die then well, it’s your time to die. I thought that you couldn’t cheat death. Kinda like there is this list and when your number comes up then you go. But what if you can sneak out of it even for a short time? See I started to think about this when I read the story about the Italian woman who missed the Air France Flight. She arrived late at the airport and couldn’t board. So it seemed she cheated death but then just days later she was killed in a car crash. So was she really supposed to be on that flight and death caught up with her? The story reminds me of the little by who survived the Titanic but then was killed by a car. Maybe for some reason they were allowed to cheat death for a short time because there was still something they had to say or do and so they got a short reprieve. I dunno but it made me think.
Deep, soul searching thoughts about what I would do if I almost died then was told that death was still coming soon. What would I do, what would I say to those I would be leaving behind? But then my mind totally went to “Death” from Family Guy and all those deep thoughts went away. Maybe that’s for the best.
So, did you have a good day? Any deep thoughts you’d like to share? Anything? Anything? See I’m not nagging I’m just asking.
Time for the obligatory “I miss you”.
Take care.
Night Mayo
Elena

hi lewis!!
vichyssoise is a potato and leek soup I'll be making over the weekend
and in the live performance of Dead on the Live and Rare cd, elena sent me, it sounds to me like Gerard sings
"is that the vegetables you can get??"
when he should sing "is that the best that you can give"
then yells
"give me the vichyssoise!!"
have no idea what he actually says LOL
:♦
Mayo

SS

elena, love Death in Family Guy! Interesting question you pose, sometimes seems that way.
goodnight blogbelieve, see you in my morning
♥xx♥
I haven't been here in a while because life and other online communities have been keeping me very busy lately.
Imagine my surprise at learning that I've been hanging out at VV spewing anti-MCR vitrol and trying to convert MCR fans into KOL fans. Hmmm. Must be that pesky sleep-walking again. Or maybe my evil alternate personality.
Seriously, I only came around here because there are a few folks who like KOL and who seemed to enjoy my links. I've been a fan for years and I have tons of pictures, videos, etc. and I was trying to be nice and share.
Trust me, the Kings do not need my help when it comes to getting fans. They have over a million fans on facebook, over a million listeners on last.fm and they just played two sold-out shows at the 02 in London (that's more than 40,000 people in two nights). They are playing two sold out shows in Manchester (another 40,000+) and another sold-out show the end of the month at the O2. They're headlining Leeds and Reading this year and their album is still in the top 20 globally (#11) and in the US (#12) after 37 weeks on the chart. So, you know, just because somebody is posting links at VV doesn't automatically mean it's me. Duh.
Most longtime KOL fans are somewhat overly protective of them. In fact, ontd_kol has gone to friends only posts and now has moderated membership. They don't want the teenie crowd, which is why I posted here because the regulars aren't teenies.
But hey, seeing as how Katie (KOL 2) is still getting hate emails and my links seem to be bothering some people so very, very much I will stop.
To the people here who have been nice to me and Katie, thanks. I hope you all have a great rest of the summer and happy, productive lives.
Good Morning Blog
Well it's gonna be a hot one. At least here it is. Hope everyone has a great day.
Hey SS, just wanted to say how much I miss ya.
Take care.
Hey KOL anon
I just saw your comment and I'm sorry that has happened. I have to admit I'm not a fan of KOL but I still enjoy the links and what both of you KOL anons have to say. I hope you change your mind and stay.
Howdy!
Can anyone explain to me why all the songs on the new MCR album is tuned down half a step? According to Frank's Twitter.
*are tuned down*
sorry
Many Bands tune down a half step...almost all Van Halen is in 430, I can name a ton more.
It gives the sound a little different dimension and makes vocalizing easier.
*Early Van Halen*
*Standard tuning is considered 440"
Hope tHaT hElPeD
next week.....open tunings and drop D
Hate to cut it short, guys, but I'm pretty tired, so I'm gonna call it a night. Hope you are all well and have a good day tomorrow.
Elena, BC, Amy, Wendy, Ergo, Mya, Lewis, TJ, Miranth, Emily, S.S., Miss T., Anima, Anons, Lurkers, John Boy, Elizabeth and anyone else I missed,
Have a Good Night and Sweet Dreams!
Had your way, I see!
Huh?
Like the Beach Boys...but better.
Hello Mayo
Check you out mister stud miester. Looky at all your comments, it has been a very long time since it has been this high. Is your head spinning? loss of breath? wabbly knees? :)
i know you wont answer due to not being around but i havent been to see you in a while so heck, i will just ask you
How are you today??
anybody around??
Hello Fimble
Nice to see you.
Hello.
How are you? Things good in your part of the world?
Very good, Thank you.
That's good to hear. Have you been keeping busy?
Yes, I have. Not been around here in ages. drastically changed.
You think so? Other than Mayo being missing for a while it's pretty much the same as it's always been. People come and go. Did you see Emily has been around?
I dont really back read cos i would be here for days due to being so long but i did see her.
I suppose it is different in other people opinions. one person may like this place and the people, another people may disagree.
i suppose i see a big change, something that i dont see as a good change but doesnt mean i dislike the place. I still have one or two of my friends here.
What is the big change you don't see as good?
People that are not here, attitudes, reasonings. Like i said, people have different opinions to othrs.
I agree it's always sad when people leave. I was just thinking this morning how much I miss reading Sdock.
But to me I still see people come here to talk to each other and sometimes to talk to Mayo. Some days it's nice other days nasty comments get made. But it's been that way a long time.
i agree elena, but like i said, people have different opinions. what you see may be totally different to what i see.
I'm sure we view things differently, Fimble. Everone is different and has a unique take on things. That's just how it is but that is what makes us all so interesting.
exactly!!
That is what is wrong with this blog. People really can't have an opinion without having people get mad if your opinion is different than their own.
And we are an interesting lot. LOL
Been nice talking with you Fimble but my employee just arrived and it's time for me to leave. You take you.
That says a lot about the person getting mad then doesnt it.
elena, you too take care.
I love when Elena gets passive aggressive. It's just so..... passive aggressive.
Hiya everyone, how are you all?
Big hugs to L (I've seen all the ones you sent my way sweetie).
KOL anons, I hope you don't let the mean words of a few drive you away.
Dunno what the weather is where you are peeps but it's been summer storms here and playing havoc with my internet.
My hub lights are not flashing like they should. I've switched it off and on again and I've got online but it's not right. My email is being a bitch too ARGH!
Catch you later if I can.

PS Me hahahaha!
Tata!
all ya need is love!
Hiya anon, you just caught me before I left.
How are you sweetie? Are you feeling the love today?
Thanks for the tuning lesson, Anon! I've always been partial to drop D myself. For a guitarist, the half step down tuning wouldn't be a big deal because the chord placement would still be the same, right? But what about for a pianist?
Not arguing or anything, just wanting to learn more. Although some people may see it differently.
Hi, Miss T!!!!!!!!!!
Not arguing or anything, just wanting to learn more. Although some people may see it differently.
Whatever Mya. That was a swipe at Fimble.
Hiya Misst,
Chasing you around so slow down. We had our bad storm last night but wasnt as bad as the one the other night, we had thunder and lightening. How is it over the peninnes??
Hiya Mya sweetie, you just caught me before I popped off for tea.
How are you today sweetie?
Hiya Fim sweetie, long time no see. I hope you are feeling better sweetie.
Well, the sky has gone that funny pre-storm colour so it could be more rain any minute.
watching the news before and they estimated that your town will get flooding in 2080, i was like 0_0 at how they can possibly tell but hey ho.
I am better, out of hospital now and need to go to work cos i am so far behind with my clients but i just dont want too :(
how are you??
Miss T says Bye, the storm is messing with her broadband. I am but her oracle.
Thank you oracle, Please say goodbye to her and i will shoot her a post later.
Hey, everyone! Just a quick note, we're heading out to catch up with the rest of the world and finally see Wolverine. Woooooooooo!
We'll try to be back on later tonight. Hope everyone is having a great day.
Love ya,
L.
Hugs back to you, Miss T. Good Night to you!
Love ya,
L.
No swipe, Anon. I was actually acknowledging the fact that people perceive things differently.
But don't be confused. If I had taken a swipe, there would've been more blood. You really ought to get that ass off your shoulders.

Bye Miss T!
We are having a storm here too! So I better go!
Bloody hell, I am fed up of seeing the words cannot find server.
We had a lightening strike and my page came back.
So, the storm is upon us. I shall take it as my hint to get off the computer.
I'm just glad I could get back to say goodnight properly.
Nighty night everyone.

Your right! The fingering would be the same as with any girl...um I mean any tuning..
The pianist has to transpose...but its still only one half step down. If the song is in E it will have to be played in Eb for them.
( Note there is no E#..E# = F)
So if a musician says E# You...well then now you know what they mean ;)
Have a nice day! or Night.
*except open tunings*
Then all bets are off!!!
