[Tantanah]

...seen the rain? Coming down on my face? Yes.

 

[Ms_Lilith]

[*]Tried to balance that beam?- Yes, many times... and although I used to be good on the balance beam, I can't balance the beam. If you get my meaning. It just don't work.

[*]Seen the rain? (I wanna know. Have you ever seen the rain?)- Yes. I remember about two years ago I was almost in a car accident, and missed it by a split second.. but our friends in the car behind us got hit HARD by an oncoming car.... I remember watching the raindrops fall, and the red and blue lights from the police car caught and highlighted each drop... something I'll never forget.

[*]Danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?- Yes. His name was Rob.

[*]Have you ever walked through a room but it was more like the room passed around you, like there was a leash around your neck that pulled you through?- Yes... the moment I met my first love... we approached each other from the opposite sides of a dance-floor, and it was like the whole world just blurred by as we got closer to each other.

[*]Tried to find the words but they don't come out right?- God yes, all the time. Love and hate are feelings I just can't express very well sometimes.

[*]Wondered what you would do If the world was sweet and kindly exactly like you?- no, actually.

[*]Really touched love?- yes, and I'm so blessed that I have.

[*]Been shot 41 times?-no, but I dated a guy that had been stabbed 9 times... a hell of a fantastic guy (he was robbed at work, and they stabbed him 9 times... I got to see all the scars, and hear his story... wow, it was incredible).

[*]Kissed below the border?- *grin* yup.

[*]Seen a rainbow coming out after a killer storm, pouring in puddles and pissing on top of your homegrown corn? - Yes... and it is a memory that will never leave my mind.. however, the corn wasn't ours, it belonged to a friend of ours who owns an organic farm (I used to work there, and it downpoured one day, and a rainbow came out afterward).

[*]Opened your mouth and tried to shout, But something happened and the shout would not come out?- no.. when I want to shout, I shout.

[*]Ever been up?- yup.

[*]Ever been down?- far too often.

[*]Ever been lost?- no, actually.. not physically... but emotionally.. I sometimes feel like I'm wandering in a desert.

[*]Ever been found?- yes.

[*]Ever been right?- yes.

[*]Ever been wrong?- far far too many times.

 

[naudiz]

I've never been shot 41 times.

 

[Dillinger]

Vixenshe - rockin' answers!

Naudiz - guess you've done all the others?

 

[Lady Pendragon]

Tried to balance that beam? Nope, I can't sit still long enough.

Seen the rain? (I wanna know. Have you ever seen the rain?) Only on a moonlit night.

Danced with the devil in the pale moonlight? No, he didn't ask me, but I watched him from the corner of my eye.

Have you ever walked through a room but it was more like the room passed around you, like there was a leash around your neck that pulled you through? Yea, once.. But I don't remember it. It went to fast.


Tried to find the words but they don't come out right? Told my gram she was stupid once because I was trying to find the right words that didn't come out right.

Wondered what you would do If the world was sweet and kindly exactly like you? Probably get bored to death.

Really touched love? Yes. Often, Too often.

Been shot 41 times? NOpe, haven't tried this one yet.


Kissed below the border? Frequenntly.

Seen a rainbow coming out after a killer storm, pouring in puddles and pissing on top of your homegrown corn? Don't grow corn. Does okra count?

Opened your mouth and tried to shout, But something happened and the shout would not come out? Swallowed a bug that way.

Ever been up? Yep, lately....

Ever been down? Yes, frequently

Ever been lost? Nope, I ask for directions.

Ever been found? Yep........in the department store.

Ever been right? All the time!

Ever been wrong?
What? me? Never!

 

[Kitte]

Tried to balance that beam? no, I keep looking at it, I wait for the strength to pick it up.

Seen the rain? (I wanna know. Have you ever seen the rain?) yes, quiet soft misting rain that seems to slip through you...hard driving rain that covers you, cleanses you. I have seen the rain. I want to be the rain

Danced with the devil in the pale moonlight? yes...and I still carry the scars.

Have you ever walked through a room but it was more like the room passed around you, like there was a leash around your neck that pulled you through? most of my life

Tried to find the words but they don't come out right? Everytime I speak...about anything of importance I flounder and fall before I find my verbal footing.

Wondered what you would do If the world was sweet and kindly exactly like you? If the world was like me...I would be afraid...so maybe it is.

Really touched love? No, I have basked in its glory and cowered from its intensity but I have never touched love and it has never touched me

Been shot 41 times? No

Kissed below the border? On many occasions...

Seen a rainbow coming out after a killer storm, pouring in puddles and pissing on top of your homegrown corn? Yes...and it still aches everytime I think of it.. I was with My dad looking over the farm I grew up on and wishing we could go home.

Opened your mouth and tried to shout, But something happened and the shout would not come out? Quite often...so I scream in my head and wait....and one day in the middle of life all of this pent screaming will burst out and scare the hell out of someone or wind me up in a rubber room.

Ever been up? Yes

Ever been down? Been down so long it looks like up to me...

Ever been lost? yes, I lost the star on my Map....I have no you are here.

Ever been found? I met a man.. he took me in..he fed me all same bullshit again...

Ever been right? Occasionally

Ever been wrong? More then I care to admit to...and less then I think.

 

[Ms_Lilith]

Danced with the devil in the pale moonlight? yes...and I still carry the scars.

Ever been found? I met a man.. he took me in..he fed me all same bullshit again...

Darling, you are beautiful. And like you, I still carry the scars. And Kitte, darling, if I could touch you, you would know you were touched by love... you know that.

And you will be found again, found for real, found by a gentle soul.

Have you ever . . .

• [*]Tried to balance that beam?

My balance sucks. I can stand on one foot for a while, but walking a straight line is a problem for me. Hopefully, I'll never have to do it for a policeman who's pulled me over.

• [*]Seen the rain? (I wanna know. Have you ever seen the rain?)

(Great song. CCR rocks.) Very often. On a day when it rains sporadically, it usually only rains when I'm outside caught in it. When I walk into a building, it stops.

• [*]Danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?

No, but I've fought him.

• [*]Have you ever walked through a room but it was more like the room passed around you, like there was a leash around your neck that pulled you through?

Every now and again. I get strong sensations of deja vu, feeling like I've seen places before. I haven't yet harnessed them enough that I can use them as any kind of predictor, but people I'm close to know I have a certain knack for calling things sometimes.

• [*]Tried to find the words but they don't come out right?

Constantly. And what makes it worse is that I'm an English graduate and writing hopeful, and sometimes I get all tongue-tied and flabbergasted. (It's all vix's fault.)

• [*]Wondered what you would do If the world was sweet and kindly exactly like you?

If the world were more like me, it wouldn't be sweet and kindly. Maybe smarter and less assholish, but I don't know about sweet and kindly.

• [*]Really touched love?

No. I thought I had once before, but recently I've realized that true love is incomprehensible and indescribable. And I haven't even touched it yet. So when I do, stand back.

• [*]Been shot 41 times?

No, I'm not very photogenic.

• [*]Kissed below the border?

You mean geographically or metaphorically? If the latter, then yes.

• [*]Seen a rainbow coming out after a killer storm, pouring in puddles and pissing on top of your homegrown corn?

Everything but the corn part. We frequently get storms so volatile that you can almost look up and see them breaking and the sun coming out. Sometimes, there's a rainbow.

• [*]Opened your mouth and tried to shout, But something happened and the shout would not come out?

Yes.

• [*]Ever been up?

Yes.

• [*]Ever been down?

More often than up, it seems.

• [*]Ever been lost?

Haven't we all?

• [*]Ever been found?

Not in the way I'd like.

• [*]Ever been right?

Usually I am.

• [*]Ever been wrong?

Sometimes, usually painfully so, as I'm unused to being wrong.

Naudiz - guess you've done all the others?

I'm not sure about the dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight. He said his name was Bill.

Done the rest, though.
