I don't even need to say anything for this to be perfectly kinky.

Thanks, Coach.

 

[Homburg]

Thanks, Coach.

Sure thing, kid. Now get out there and win this one.

See, this is why I totally love Homburg. Cause he knows when to fade back a bit. Despite the glorious, universally adorable ego. there's a moment when you know what's right...

total adoration for everyone,

It's 8.43 in the morning here and I am giving the carrier company the chance to deliver my new monitor to the right address it's supposed to be here between 7.30 and 9 am. I have stuck a very large peice of paper on the front door with our house number on it but he still hasn't found me .. *sigh..*

 

[UnderYourSpell]

I take that back they made it with a minute to spare. How come now I have bought a new one the old one has stopped going on the blink?

It's the God of Irony. Some people postulated him a few years ago and all hell has broken loose since then.

That was my last coherence, sadly. I'm off cause it's WAY late here and i've been babysitting, but it's all over now and I'm crashing.

Have a lovely morning, all. I know I will, but sooner than I might wish.

Since none of you appear to like the sun very much, I have decided you are all vampires.

It's not a problem. I still think y'all rock.

Don't mind the metal plated turtle neck. They are all the rage in Canada this year, honest.

Hey wait a minute, you. Not all of us DON'T like the sun! (Note the double negative!). I'm a sun God down here. Remember where I'm (formerly) from. I think those northwest guys say the weather sucks to keep the rest of us away.

 

[UnderYourSpell]

I love the sun too although maybe not Vegas in June I felt like I was going to suffocate when I got off the plane but I am going on a Med cruise 3 weeks today and I hope its hot hot hot !!

 

[Tzara]

I didn't say the weather here sucks. I said it was overcast.

I like overcast. Usually.

 

[UnderYourSpell]

pour not out thy heart to anyone
lest they betrayeth thee
and shitteth upon thee from the heavens.
Bring unto them no pain that resideth
in thy heart for they damn thee
with false praises that mean less
than the craven slugs beneath thy feet.
Giveth not any love nor images unto them
and verily I say unto thee they condemn
thee with falsehoods that fall from lips
encrusted with the filth that rots in hell

*In other words up yours ... what goes around comes around*

Well good morning!

I'm up regrettably early, but I suppose even vampires ought to occasionally prove they can be functional.

It's odd; I sort of had to put off grieving for a couple of days. My brother and his lovely fiancee were in town, and the whole weekend had this odd overtone, busy and social but colored by Litha's death, like a strange wash of grey over the picture.

I let myself cry for a bit when I woke up. Having a cat who sleeps with you every night for eighteen years is a tough habit to break. As often as I complained when she laid on my head or took an entire bath while I was trying to go to sleep, I never wanted it to stop, was always conscious of how lucky I was to have her there.

So now that the activity is all over and I'm back to a normal day again, it's settling in, that once again I have to go through this process, getting accustomed to a new absence, a new empty space.

I am so glad to have this place, and all of you. It helps. It makes an immense difference every day.

I know what you mean ... where else would I have gone? Do you think some people attract troubles like some sort of catalyst?

 

[unpredictablebijou]

Interesting question.

This is just me, but I think there are times that everyone feels personally "unlucky" or goes through a series of hard strikes that seem too personal to be coincidence. And perhaps some folks do have "harder" lives than others. But I've always felt like we choose these things, one way or another, to help ourselves evolve and grow.

Looking back now, it was a pretty huge disaster when my house burned down in '94, but in retrospect it was one of the best things that could have happened. I wouldn't be any of the places I am now without that transformative event.

So you never know. We are defined by everything, both good and bad. If I like who and where I am, I can't really regret the events that have led me here.

just noodlin'

Two years ago, I had a string of unfortunate events. I had the flu for six months. The doctors thought it might have been HIV. It wasn't, thank God! But, it seemed to set off a lot of problems with my health and finances. That fall, I was sexually assaulted twice and then raped and sexually assaulted last year.

I do think that things happen for a reason. Now, even though I am in intensive therapy to overcome the consequences of what happened, I find myself with a sense of a new beginning. Due to the PTSD and bipolar disorder, I am considered disabled until at least next July. I am trying to view this as an opportunity to focus on my art and writing.

Besides, what kind of artist would I be without hardship and the insight it brings?

 

[UnderYourSpell]

There was a thread not long ago about did being unhappy make you a better poet or make it easier to write

 

[UnderYourSpell]

My upsets always seem to be emotional ones I don't do teensy niggly ones no mine have to be hardwood bookshelves on the top of your head type upsets. It's not that I am a drama queen or anything I've been there done that and much prefer a quiet life in my own rut now thankyou, I seem to have my dramas thrust upon me whether I want them or not and although you will probably tell me what a nit I am I have apologised (oh not for being called a perv) but for talking about someone behind their backs. The apology was accepted but it doesn't change much I am still a pariah and have lost at least two very good friends probably more and you know what? I mss them. As for the perv thing oh well now I am over the shock I'm not that bothered anymore it's the betrayal I can't get over ... betrayal comes very high on my list for reasons to rot in hell

 

[champagne1982]

I think I'm too close to the events that have changed my path to look at any good they may have brought with their disasters.

Too many scars draw new paths on my skin for me to know which I should take.

Too many sorrows are yet to cry out into the dust I know they should be.

When will the wind and the storms cleanse the detrius these events leave behind? Maybe today, maybe.

Maybe you're a bloody good poet .... definitely

 

[unpredictablebijou]

Agreed. Though at times like that I wish so much that my embraces were more tangible to the people here who deserve them.


ahem.

It has come to my attention that today is NATIONAL UNDERWEAR DAY.

I understand how I might have missed it, since many of us are not just Christmas-and-Easter underwear worshipers, but practice our faith year round.

But still. any homage is good homage. Special thanks to Sassy for alerting us to this.

Off to look for underwear pictures.
and to think about underwear.
and look at underwear.
