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.

good night ergo, hope you get lots of chicks. :)

thanks TJ
goodnight and sweet dreams
mayo,
i am totally failing at nanowrimo.
sort of.
technically, i am, because i haven't been writing umpteen-thousand words a day. but when my initial story faltered, i returned to an urban fantasy story i had started a few years ago.
and i got all jazzed up on it. i've been working on it a lot, not really writing but still figuring stuff out, sketching in that outline, trying to answer the questions that the outline reveals...
so who knows?
but it feels good to be thinking abotu these characters again.
good night, mayo. sweet dreams.
Hey Ergo, are you going to the MCR show in OZ on the 25th?
much as I'd like to ,no. It's a long way from me , one of the problems of living in a huge country, it's a bit over 1000miles away, just not practical
That's the one in Sydney, huh? Apparently, there's a few shows going on all of February.
Yeah, I hear you though. There's bands I'd like to see, but sometimes, they only stop in Montreal or Toronto, and it's just not feasible.
oh there are others, I hadn't noticed, the tickets aren't on sale yet.
It's at the showgrounds, hmmmm well that's only 500miles away lol
I'll think about it
For Amy's wedding reception or rehearsal party menu consideration
Paula Deen's fried mac and cheese, workaholoic's hot chocolate om nom nom, hasselback potatoes, black eye pea and ham fritters, and peach chocolate cocktails
Notable quotes
Cause that pig didn't come with pepper
I love anything that's really sweet and creamy
SWEET.
Thanks Anon! I'll just have to make sure everyone signs a waiver before dinner.
"The food is great, but deadly. I cannot be held responsible for what a Paula Deen wedding supper will do to your arteries. Sign here."
wow I looked up a couple of her recipes, that wouldn't be a wedding meal, it would be a DARE
*flexes her fingers*
Then this should be a VERY interesting reception!
I'm going to head off to bed, have a good night Ergo and Anon!
goodnight Amy, sweet dreams, and to mister as well
lol
Good idea Amy.
It's been scientifically proven that eating her dishes only knocks 1 day off your expected life span. 1 day per dish. Though the desserts and chocolate recipes may knock off 3 to 5 days per serving.
Look how happy she is and how good she looks. Might be worth the health risk.
Goodnight.
Goodnight Ergo.
this blog is missing something...

'Hello, Ohio!' (Psst! Boss, we're in Michigan)
AP, Nov 15, 2009 1:05 am PST
The curse of Friday the 13th struck Bruce Springsteen in a most unusual way: it made the 60-year-old rock legend forget where he was.
The Boss bellowed "Hello, Ohio!" to his fans at the Auburn Hills Palace in Michigan.
Springsteen referred to the neighboring state several times in the following 30 minutes until E Street Band guitarist Steve Van Zandt whispered in his ear.
A visibly embarrassed Springsteen grinned and said such a mistake was "every front man's nightmare."
The Detroit Free Press says Springsteen rocked the forgiving audience for nearly three hours Friday night with new and old hits including a complete performance of his album "Born to Run."

We've had bad storms here in Britain these last few days. Thankfully it seems to be settling down today.
I'm really pleased that those of you who have been to Wales love it. It's a wonderful country with a totally different culture to England. The welsh language is still strong in North and Mid Wales, not so much in South Wales.
So you're a rugby fan Pickled Possum. I watched the Wales vs New Zealand game last week. We lost. I cursed a lot and blamed the referee, but at the end of the day New Zealand were a much better team. We won against Samoa but it was a poor game.
Hope you're all well. You too Mr Mayo and S.S.
lol anon, poor Bruce, must be hard to keep track tough, transport to hotel to venue to hotel to transport, it'd all blur after a while
hi Welsh anon, hope you have a lovely Sunday
you reminded me that I forgot to say hi to PP
was going to say that if I were to have to be in a shark tank I would prefer something more substantial than needle and thread!!
I'm loving NZ Next Top Model too, they are all such sweeties!
Mayo
There was a woman , who was a tree hugger and anti-hunter, who purchased several acres of Hill Country land, near Lake Crescent.
There was a huge tree on one of the highest points in the tract. She wanted to view the natural splendour of her land, so she climbed the tree. As she neared the top, she encountered a spotted owl. It attacked her! In her haste to escape, the woman slid down the tree to the ground. During the ensuing fall, she incurred several splinters of wood in her crotch. In considerable pain, she hurried to the nearest doctor, 35 minutes away.
She told him she was an environmentalist and anti-hunter and how she came to receive all of the splinters. The doctor listened to her story with great patience. He then told her to go into the examining room and he would see if he could help.
The impatient patient sat, and waited for three hours before the doctor reappeared. The angry woman demanded, "What took you so long?"
He smiled and said, "Well, I had to get permits from US Environmental Protection Agency, the US Forest Service, the Washington Parks and Wildlife Department and the Keep Washington Beautiful office before I could remove old-growth timber from a recreational area. I'm sorry, but they turned me down!"
much love EP xx

My husband bought me a mood ring the other day. You know the ones that change colour to reflect mood changes.
When I'm in a good mood it turns green. When I'm in a bad mood, it leaves a red mark on his forehead.
lotsa love EP xx
goodnight blogbelieve, see you in my morning
♥xx♥
Morning
Welsh anon you have made me realize I really want to find my photos from my visit to Wales. I haven’t seen them in years but now I really have the urge to unearth them again.
Pickled Possum it is always so good to see you around here. I hope someday soon we are actually here at the same time. I really miss talking to you.
Ergo I loved the mood ring joke. LOL
Hello to everyone else. It’s a rainy day here, kinda dreary. I’ve got to run Mom around today. (yep, she’s out of cereal) and I’ve seen the list she’s made of things we need to do. Then tonight Fred is coming over for dinner (stir fry) and we’re gonna watch The Amazing Race. I hope everyone has a good day. Catch you all later.
Mayo – Hope life is treating you well. Do you have special plans for Thanksgiving? I’m really looking foreword to turkey and the wonderful sandwiches that follow.
SS – How about you? Big Turkey Day plans? Gonna have pumpkin pie?

Hmm....anyone we know? Clue: It ain't Hey Chris!
been up for awhile. don't know why. may accept brain's offer of a nap later on.
but i've been reading interesting articles on the nature of sacrifice (as practiced by ancient and modern pagan hellenes), pagan tattoos, and giggling at the tweets from the adorable stephen fry, so maybe being awake hasn't been all that awful. :)
gonna go have lunch in a book now, but i wanted to check in before leaving the internets for the day.
hope everyone's having a pleasantly lazy day, too!
see you later!
ciao, bloggers!
ciao, mayo!
*pinches her nose* I saw PP too and I forgot to say HI PP!!! Thanks for your good wishes as well :D
Welsh Anon, how would you pronounce that? Is welsh much like gaelic?
I can't speak Gaelic, but I was taught several songs in it when I was younger. I can sing it phonetically at best, but anyone with a real grasp of the language would probably point and laugh.
Teej, I hear you! I hope I've got time in my wonderfully lazy day to hit the bookstore.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING AMERICANS!
I hope you enjoy your turkey as much as I did!
good morning!
hey TJ, elena Amy, anon
hope you are all having a lovely day :]
Noswaith dda pawb.
Amyranth Welsh is very similar to the Breton language. Unfortunately very few people speak breton, most are elderly people. I don't think it's taught in their schools anymore. It's a shame to watch a language die out. I think that's why here in Wales so many parents are eager for their children to be bilingual.
There is a huge demand for places in Welsh schools especially in South Wales.
hi welsh anon, I think it is a great shame, but it's encouraging to see a push to make sure children learn it and use it
I'm out for a while, you ahve a good night, hope the weather over there is improving
*comes in happily second lining and chanting*
9 and 0, babies!!!!! Hell yeah!
~~Who dat say they gonna beat dem Saints? Who dat? Who dat?"~~
Not the St. Louis Rams!
New Orleans Saints = 28 (still UNDEAFETED!!!!!)
St. Louis Rams = 23 (hehe!)
Hello Mayo, SS, Mya, Martha, Amy, Sweetcheeks, Ergo, TJ, Elena, J and L, Welsh anon, Possum, Saints, sinners, kings, queens and everyone in between!!!!
How are you all today? Did you all have a nice Sunday/weekend? I hope so!
Amy: CONGRATULATIONS (again)!!!! I'm so happy for you (and the mister)! Now, when can we start planning that bridal shower (complete with naughty accessories!)?
Well, it seems there is much to celebrate here! Amy's new job and engagement, Mya's new job, my Sweetcheek's free martial arts lessons, Ergo's new baby chick(s), the Saints still undefeated season!
I think it's time we all Get CRUNKED!!!!
~~~Here we come to get chou!~~~
*happily does the Crunk*
Okay, get CRUNKING everyone and enjoy yourselves!!!!

Hi PJ, Bikey, Fruit Punch, Paper, Cupcake, Gel, Black Jacket and SC!
hello and noswaith dda! :)
just watched "the prisoner", the new one. i like jim caviezel and ian mckellen is a darling (especially in roles where he isn't quite the good guy), but to be honest, i don't remember enough of the original to make a comparison. i only saw the original version just once, a long time ago.
but the remake is interesting. i'll be watching the next episodes tomorrow night, definitely. :)
so how is everyone doing?
hello TJ I'm good thanks
had half a day in town and have a student in an hour, but it's a nice day all the same :]
that's good to hear. :)
hey, i saw you replying to stephen fry, isn't he funny? i just like the way he writes. i used to read his blog back before my computer broke down, way back when, but never got back in the habit.
Hello TJ! How are you, tonight? I'm very, very happy thanks to the most recent victory of my Saints!!!!
The (new) Prisoner, eh? I did not see that. I do remember seeing "reruns" of the old series when I was just a wee little puss in boots.
I've heard the new "V" is very good too!
Ohhhh.... and, I'm really looking forward to seeing SyFy's retelling of "Alice In Wonderland". That's coming next month! Should be interesting and it will probably get people ready for Tim Burton's new feature film (which I'm also looking forward to seeing)!
Speaking of looking forward to things (as I just was), I'm so looking forward to this new cd:
~~~New little update on new cd!~~~
:D
I'm loving "Metal Hammer's" description of those songs and those (tentative) song titles!!!!
Special thanks to Martha for sending that link to me!!!!!
I think he is wonderful! His manner of speaking is just delightful, intelligent but so damn funny at the same time.
Did you see his show travelling around America? It was brilliant
Hello Ergo! How iz you, tonight?
Do you have any new chicks to report?
hi wendy,
Tj what Prisoner do you mean? a movie as we had a series made over here called Prisoner about a women's prison, but that likely isn't what you mean
hi wendy. :)
i haven't seen the new "v", not sure i will, but the alice in wonderland looked interesting in the previews i saw. may check that out, too. :)
ergo, i didn't see his show. :(
i've been watching re-runs of the mystery show "bones", and he's had a reoccurring role in the last few episodes. that's what made me go looking for him again.
there's a mantel clock you can buy -- i've seen it in the catalogs my folks get -- where stephen fry is the voice of the alarm, as his "jeeves" character. i would love to wake up to hs voice.
*ahem*
;)
Hi Ergo! Ooops, I already said that, didn't I? Sorry!
:P
Well, you can never say HI (or hello even) too many times!
;)
do you remember the british sci-fi series from the 60's, ergo? this is a remake of it...
let me see if i can find a link...
no, no new chicks, may just be the one, like I said it wasn't a planned hatching
time magazine article about the show.
they don't seem to like it much though.
TJ: SyFy's "Alice" is a must see, for me. I mean, Kathy Bates as The Queen Of Hearts!!!! How great is that going to be?
I haven't "caught" the new "V" either; but, I plan to "catch" it. I've heard very good things about it!
Ohhhh.... and that link up there is a link about HIM's new cd "Screamworks: Love In Theory and In Practice"!
I'm also looking forward to MCR's new cd (which I believe is due out sometime after) and Kings Of Leon's new cd.
We already have new music from KISS, Kill Hannah, The 69 Eyes, Saosin, Boys Like Girls!!!! I think we should all be able to rock (and/or POP) in the New Year in style!
:)
And, on that note, I must be off to search for nutrition slightly more substantial than sunflower seeds!
Goodnight and sweet dreams to one and all!!!!
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

I can't recall that series TJ
and his series in the US is only quite recent in 2008
so you may get it on a channel sometime
We finally have his show QI on, lordy knows why it has taken so many years for them to pick it up, it is hilarious, Stephen chairs it, Alan Davies (who was Johnathon Creek) is always on then 3 other panellists, they are asked questions and it's not if you get the right you get points but if your answer is "Quite Interesting", which leads them to say all manner of rubbish, they usually all end up on negative points
eg Q: Name something that is easier to do with boxing gloves on - A: frisk a porcupine
Goodnight sugarplum.
Hi guise!
Stephen Fry: Do you know what the French for "flying fish" is?
Alan Davies: Poisson … d'aeroplane?
goodnight wendy sweet dreams
hi BC hows things?

Sometimes those "unexpected hatchings" can be more special than the expected ones! In other words, DON'T "fricassee" that one!
;)
Have fun, ladies (and Mayo and SS)! Goodnight, again!
oh, i like the sound of that show ergo! i miss british tv...i remember there were nights everyone would head out to the pubs, but i would stay in with some cider and just channel surf. it sounds lame, doesn't it!
i guess it was just me trying to soak up as much of the culture as possible...
(that's a pretty rationalization, isn't it!)
hey! hi there bc. :)
and good night wendy!
*runs back in*
SWEETCHEEKS!!!!!!!
*huge hug and sloppy kisses*
I'm okay, thanks for asking! How are you? I shall look for your answer (and finish and send that e~mail) after I have fed!
Have a good night, until then, Sweetcheeks!
*blows kisses to blog believe*
Hi ergo.
Things are actually pretty good. Made a new friend, which is totally awesome, though I just had a peanut butter sandwich that just lost flavor lol.
How's things with you?
Hi tj :)
TJ here are some quotes from teh show, it has a website too, it's funny as well
ooh a new friend , how cool.
eep! is everyone disappeared?
I must be off, titoring awaits
sweet dreams you guys, see you tomorrow
cc
i've just come back from the quotes you linked ergo -- i couldn't stop reading them! at one point i was actually gigglesnorting and crying at the same time, i had to cover my mouth with my tshirt so i wouldn't wake my folks...
oh man...i must see that show! must.
oh dear. i missed you.
well, thank you for the link, ergo!
finished!!
no problem TJ I thought you'd love them, I was reading them too, hearing their voices in your head as well makes it even funnier
if you get to see it, I'm sure you'd love it
mayo,
the problem with working on my story is that i keep discovering gaps in my plot events, things that i have to know about the world i'm writing in, even if they don't appear in the story. it's like i'm inventing the bones of this place, the science and philosophy and culture are all up to me, even though half of it is in our world.
it's a good thing i like research!
so tonight i was wandering around the internet exploring folklore and quantum physics both.
kinda fun, actually. *grin*
hope you can look back over the day and call it a good one, mayo, and that tomorrow will be even better.
good night, and sweet dreams.
hey! we are like two ships passing in the night, except for the time difference. :)
have a good night when you get to it, ergo. sweet dreams!
Now for something completely different.

hi anon
Bore da pawb.
Ergo you're right Stephen Fry is a genius. QI is one of the funniest programmes on television.
Toujours I never watched the original series of the Prisoner but I know it was filmed in Portmeirion, Gwynedd. Funnily enough I was talking about Portmeirion with my friends yesterday. We go there two or three times a year. We go for long walks along the beach and the woodlands and usually end the day by having a meal at Castell Deudraeth. Absolute bliss. If you google Portmeirion you'll see what I mean. (sorry can't do the clicky linky thingy!)
Mr Mayo, S.S. If you ever need to chill out then spend a few days in Portmeirion. I might see you there!
hey welsh anon, have a lovely monday
Mayo
There were three boys all in third grade: an Asian boy, a Spanish boy and a redneck. They were trying to think of games to play at recess when the Asian boy got an idea. "I know," he said, "we can play, "Who's Got the Biggest Pee Pee".
"How do you play that?" asked the redneck.
"It's easy'' said the Spanish boy, "we can play it next recess."
So when recess time came, the three boys went outside. "Alright," said the Spanish boy, "Lets play."
The Asian boy explained that all you have to do is pull down your pants and whoever has the biggest pee pee is the winner. And so the Asian boy pulled down his pants and the other two boys were impressed. Then the Spanish boy pulled down his pants. His pee pee was about the same size as the Asian boy's. As the redneck boy pulled his pants down, the other two boys stared in awe.
"You win for sure," they both said.
Later that day the redneck boy went home and his mother asked him, "So did you make any new friends today?"
"Yup. I played this game called "Who's Got the Biggest Pee Pee" and the other boys said I won because I'm a redneck."
His mother laughed and replied, "No sweetie, you won because you're 23."
much love EP xx

goodnight blogbelieve, see you in my morning

Holy crap it's snowing. And I don't just mean a little dusting of snow I mean "fuck it's snowing like a son of a bitch"
>_>
<_<
=_=
snowing O_O
wow, is that normal? I mean I know it's getting into winter, but does it snow this early? Down south of the country they've had a heat wave for a week, very odd for this time of year
and good morning all!
Hiya everyone, how are you all?

Tell me Mr Mayonaise and everyone else, have you ever been to Wales? It's well worth a visit. You really must go to
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrn drobwllllantysiliogogogoch. You can buy the best fish and chips in Wales there! Miss T and FASC should go there. By the way where is FASC? Hope she's alright.
Hwyl fawr am y tro.
Hiya anon sweetie. I love Wales, I especially love a man with a welsh accent. Although, the most striking memory I have of our holidays in Wales was when we were pulling up to a caravan site and a farmer type made us stop our car and put his head right through the window as far as it would reach. He said to us "you got a dog", we said no, he said "I'm only asking cos sheep eat em round here" hahahah.
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrn drobwllllantysiliogogogoch is the longest place name in Britain isn't it? My roommate at Uni could reel it off just like that.
Noswaith da
TJ, I hope the anniversary of your dad's death wasn't too bad a day for you sweetie. I hope the happier memories won out.
Congrats on the new job Mya sweetie.
Congrats Amy on the wedding news sweetie.
Ergo, I love QI. It is totally one of may fave shows.
I remember Stephen Fry quoting some Churchil. It went like this:
One morning one of Churchill's aides came into his office. He said "I've got some bad news sir. Last night one of our back bench MP's was caught with one of the Queen's guards in the bushes near Buckingham palace at it and the press have got hold of the story, it's going to be a scandal". Churchill said "but wasn't last night bitterly cold?". The aide said "yes sir, last night was one of the coldest nights on record". Churchill said "makes you proud to be British". Hahahahaha!
Oh, books are in the post by the way.
Well, my mum had a day off work today and I was roped into DIY. I never wanna see another piece of coving as long as I live.
I'm off to download some stuff now but it's taking ages.
Catch you all later.
hey MissT!!
I remember that QI, we are currently getting that series, I am gutted they didn't pick it up sooner though, the quotes from earlier series are so funny
poor you with DIY! I am doing some rearranging in our bedroom and just took on *somber long keyboard chord*
UNDER THE BED..........
dun dun dunnnnnnn, I think I found where all the dust in the house hides!
along with assorted pencils, toy cars, socks and surprisingly my cassette of the Blues Brothers Soundtrack!
lol
hope you have a lovely week :]
Why don't we a do it in the snow...
No one will be watching us...
Why don't we do it...in...the...snow
Ken Ober Host of MTV's Remote Control dead at age 52.
sorry anon I have no idea who that is, but it's a shame, he wasn't very old
Edward Woodward died too, now he was a classy actor
and in amazing surgery currently taking place over here, twin orphaned girls from Bangladesh who are 2 yrs 11 months old and who were conjoined at the brain and skull have been separated in surgery that has, so far, taken over 28hrs, they just a while ago announced that they were now totally separated and the cranio/facial plastic surgeons are taking over to reconstruct the little girls heads.
Ken Ober Host of MTV's Remote Control dead at age 52.
Sad news anon. :(
RIP Ken Ober
surgeons are taking over to reconstruct the little girls heads
Best wishes to the twin girls.
Why don't we a do it in the snow...
No one will be watching us...
Why don't we do it...in...the...snow
Oh SURE. You're assuming that you can keep it up in the snow. ;)
Heading to bed girls. First day at work was great, but I'm freaking exhausted!
sweet dreams Amy
Even if they are that dedicated to the completion of the mission
they're assuming we'll drop our knickers in the snow. ;)
it's amazing what modern medical science can do, but i have to admit it still creeps me out a little. medical stuff makes me squeamish. :/
still, wish those girls the best.
and rest in peace ken ober.
hi ergo, how are you?
hello TJ I'm good thanks
how are you?
yes the little girls surgery is amazing, they were found by a children's charity and they worked to bring them over, all the surgery is free for them
I really hope they pull through ok
i'm doing ok, ergo. end of my weekend, and once again, have an extreme reluctance to begin the workweek. *sigh*
but i'm trying to understand science that's beyond my abilities, hoping to figure out just why i have two worlds in my story. i know it's urban fantasy and so i could make something up, but i want it to make sense, you know?
parallel universe? worm hole? another planet?
you would have looked at this
what sort of relationship do the worlds have to each other?
i was looking into the many worlds theory, but i don't think that's goign to be very useful for what i want. i think maybe string theory will give me the model i'm looking for. i guess i'm looking for a scientific basis for the realm that faeries and elves traditionally come from?
so do you want the two worlds to be discrete or is one just existing in a dimension unnoticeable to the other,but in the same physical space and beings are able to move between them?
there's movement between them; that's crucial to my story. i think of them as being interdependent, though our world is completely unaware of the other. at one point i was thinking of them as being two sides of the same coin, but i'mnot sure that's helpful.
the thing is, i want there to be a reason for the two worlds to coexist, i want it to be a necessary connection, though one that has gone unrecognized.
Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.
Anton Chekhov
a beautiful quote, and i agree with the essence of it.
i'm just trying to figure out if it's the moon shining, or a lamp, or maybe something else altogether. :)
and alas, now i must say good night.
talk to you later ergo -- i really appreciate your interest in my question! hope you have a good rest of the day. :)
and good night, quote anon.
sweet dreams to you both!
The reason for two worlds coexisting is usually the lesson of the story. By that I mean the other world exists to teach a lesson which can not be , will not be or was not learned in the other world. :)
First and foremost you must have a wonderful, unstoppable story and powerful characters
Sarah Harrison
my internet connection went kafut
I'll think about it TJ sweet dreams
lovely quotes anon
Well that's rather brilliant 12:21. Helpful to more than intended; thanks for that. :)
Good luck with the story Toujours.
Night
"Listen, just tell me what you want from me. Just tell it to me straignt and don't fuck around. Do you want me forever, or do you want me for now? You told me to wait, but for how long? A week? A month? A year? Five? Twenty? You know I love you more'n anybody, I honestly do. But you wont tell me nothin except you love me. That's a wonderful thing, boy, but sometimes a woman's got to have a little more. Don't think I'm pushin you into anything cause I'm not. I just wanta know if youre goin to be wakin up with me ten years or ten minutes from now. Its all about honesty, boy. Honesty and love."
:) Goodnite blog.
mayo,
spent the morning researching religious ideas, and tonight researching quantum physics...and somehow, although they were for different purposes, all those ideas are making a nice bubbling stew at the back of my mind.
i like figuring stuff out, even if it only makes sense to me. i like working out the details of my own mythology, and answering the questions raised by the science of a world that only exists in my imagination.
all of it feels like laying the path ahead, brick by brick, just before i step on it. (ha! yes, magneto walking through thin air just did come to mind...)
i felt like i got something done today, even though i don't have much to show for it.
there will be, though.
take care, mayo. have a restful night, and delicious tomorrow.
sweet dreams.
:) You're welcome 12:30. I'm happy to help all I can. Goodnite.
12:21, thank you. saving that and will think on it tomorrow while i'm wrangling fabric. :)
good night all!
That's interesting 12:32. What is that from. Goodnite to you. :)
Goodnite Mayo. :)
Goodnite (S)SS. :)
Don't remember. Wrote down the quote cause I liked it. Goodnite.
^Supposed to say 12:32.
*rolls eyes*
No need to be rude (2nd)12:45, leave them be.
Put a sock in it 12:47
Oh, PMS? Or just a really big stick, some place unfortunate?
(Best of luck with that 12:48, and the rest of your evening)
I didn't mean to cause any confusion. I only wanted to help TJ by posting a couple of quotes and share my thoughts on the reason two worlds usually exist in a story.
I do wish to clarify I'm not a boy. I'm the opposite sex. Goodnite. :)
Don't worry about it Smiling and Quoting, Female. You were indeed helpful and friendly. Some people are just crabby. ;) Have a good night.
Nite Mayo
Take care and be happy.
hi elena, sweet dreams

One day a man was walking along the beach and found a bottle. He looked around and didn't see anyone so he opened it. A genie appeared and thanked the man for letting him out.
The genie said, "For your kindness I will grant you a wish, but only one."
The man thought for a minute and said, "I have always wanted to visit Hawaii but have never been able to because I'm afraid of flying and ships make me seasick. So I wish for a road to be built from here to Hawaii."
The genie thought for a minute and said, "No, I don't think I can do that. Just think of all the work involved: the pilings needed to hold up the highway, how deep they would have to be to reach the bottom of the ocean. Think of all the pavement that would be needed. No, that is just too much to ask."
The man thought for a minute and then told the genie, "Well, there is one other thing that I have always wanted. I would like to be able to understand my girlfriend. What makes her laugh and cry, why is she temperamental, why is she so difficult to get along with? Basically, what makes her tick?"
The genie considered for a few minutes and said, "So, do you want two lanes or four?"
much love EP xx

A man walks into a bar and notices his friend sitting alone staring at a tiny man on the table playing the piano.
"Wow, look how small he is, where did you get him?!" Says the man.
"Oh, well there's this genie round the back of bar, and he grants you whatever wish you want."
Sure enough, the man goes round the back of the bar and there sits a genie.
"You grant wishes right?"
"Yes." replies the genie.
"Hmm, I'd like a million bucks."
Then, out of nowhere, a million ducks appear, and waddle behind the annoyed man as he goes back into the bar.
"Look, that genie gave me ducks instead of bucks!"
His friends sitting at the table replies,
"Well yeah, do you really think I asked for a twelve inch pianist?"
lotsa love EP xx
goodnight blogbelieve, see you in my morning

Just popping by:
Elena, how much snow did you actually get yesterday? If you already mentioned it, sorry I missed it.
*runs in
hugs mayo
hugs ss
runs out*
Hello Jennicula. I don't know about Elena's inches but I got 0 inches yesterday.
Bites tongue...its just too easy..I gotta let it go.
good morning!!
busy day today, back later :]
Remember when you were young
You shone like the sun
Shine on you crazy diamond
Now there's a look in your eyes
Like black holes in the sky
Shine on you crazy diamond
You were caught in the crossfire
Of childhood and stardom
Blown on the steel breeze
Come on you target for faraway laughter
Come on you stranger
You legend
You martyr
And shine
You reached for the secret too soon
You cried for the moon
Shine on you crazy diamond
Threatened by shadows at night
And exposed in the light
Shine on you crazy diamond
Well, you wore out your welcome
With random precision
Rode on the steel breeze
Come on you raver
You seer of visions
Come on you painter
You piper
You prisoner
And shine
Nobody knows where you are
How near or how far
Shine on you crazy diamond
Pile on many more layers
And I'll be joining you there
Shine on you crazy diamond
And we'll bask in the shadow
Of yesterday's triumph
Sail on the steel breeze
Come on you boy child
You winner and loser
Come on you miner for truth and delusion
And shine
Hi blog.

After spending the last hour in the truck with my dad driving around to find cat food, I have decided I want to start a jazz band.
We will call ourselves The Jazz Hands, and the title of our first album will be "Everybody Pick A Key And Go Nuts."
The look of love is in your eyes
A look your smile can't disguise
The look of love is saying so much more than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard, well it takes my breath away
hellooo again for a bit
Amy that actually sounds like a song my brother would seriously love!

for goodness sake, stop trying to get peopel to give a fuck what you say, 8:06. You backtracked to this post to find out if there was someone you could harrass and WOW! you found them. You get your kicks out of bullying and harrassing peopel, so I know you will keep going. You must have some dire need to be a complete asshole, so much so that you have to follow peopel from place to place to get your fix. You can defend it any way you want. You can type in all the what you think is clever responses you want. You're still an asshole.
Peopel, peopel, peopel! LOL
Mya, you're such a bag of shit.
I'm not Mya and you're still an asshole.
