Isolated Blurt Thread

Ok, weird things have been happening. EL already explained to me what was happening, but I"m still not sure I get it. Here's the thing, the voting score on my story has been changing at least once a day. here's how it's gone...

49 votes: 4.37
50 Votes: 4.36
49 Votes: 4.38
49 votes: 4.45!

I'm not sure if I caught all the changes, but it's just a little weird. I understand why it's happening, but it's still strange. Anyways, has this happened to anyone else?

She's moving away, back from whence she came. I should be sad. I risked so much for her, lived so much with her...I should miss her.

and yet, the number one thing I feel is relief...

things that burn bright often burn fast, I guess....

Thank you Rae...I gratefully accept the rose in the spirit it was offered.

This was an exercise in defying danger, and it remains so even now; because four of the most dangerous words in the universe are...
"What might have been"

Like I said, I don't feel sad that she is leaving. If anything, a bit of distance might actually allow us to find a friendship again.

oh, and it's not my wife.

Yeah that's what EL said to me earlier. I'm glad, I hate people that intentionally bring other people down.

Everything happens for a reason... and this to shall pass... keep the good memories and let the rest go.... It'll make a good book one day....

Seriously? Gees. I only had 50 at highest count. Now it's at 49...for now. Love to get up to a 4.5 though, I'm so close. Ah well, next time maybe.

ladybug impervious
to my charms
written in sanskrit
for my own edification

I can't help my extremist views,
left me a husk
of a man
hoisted by my hubris

challenged yet another municipality
to offer their funds for beatification
that they read as beautification
left bloodstains on painted walls

offer me a fiddle to play
and a fence to sit on
while I watch the world burn
complacent in my own ineptitude

I keep thinking about this one. I kinda like it. I may have to post it.

Awwlll riiight!

On a certain day, some of Nasrudin's disciples said to him: "Master, tell us about the end of the world."

Nasrudin asked, "Which end of the world, the greater or the lesser?"

This perplexed his followers and they debated among themselves. Finally they asked, "Master, what is the lesser end of the world?"

Nasrudin replied, "The lesser end of the world will be when my wife dies."

"And the greater end of the world?"

"Oh," said the master, "that will be when I die."

Thank you

Do i HAVE to be awake today? Ugh.

Sometimes I hesitate to blurt here because I feel like I'm interrupting.

Don't hesitate, blurt. That's why we all have "scroll" buttons on our computers.

Scared to stay and scared to let go.

Long ago and far away, you told me about looking at the moon and wondering if I would see it a few hours later. Today as I was walking in the rain, I remembered and I wondering if you had felt or would fell the same rain drops.

Wearing my father's gortex hat, and a jacket made by my mother of my grandmother's material, I felt calm, safe, warm and dry for a bit. I haven't felt that way much these past 8 months.

I sleep little, my body rejects food, I am in much more pain than usual, tiptoeing carefully on the edge, my mind in a fog, my emotions alternate between feeling torn apart or shut down.

I haven't seen many people, seriously walked, listened to much music, enjoyed or created any art. I am exhausted and living at subsistence level with minor blips here and there. Few people get through my walls, and those find the walls back up the next time. Its not that I don't try, but my resilience has been so limited.

For 19 months I did everything you asked me to do, come to think of it, I have always done what you have asked of me with few exceptions. Now I can't even do what I would normally ask of myself.

I wondered if you were walking, somehow I get the feeling you aren't, not like before. I keep feeling if you were walking you'd be well, and if you were well you would be back like you said you would be. How can the fire inspector be back and you are not?

I have been thinking for quite some time that perhaps you need a dog, you could name it for me, them if you spoke in your sleep, you would safe. Did you plant the red lettuce that curls?

I was planning a long road trip for a few weeks ago. I went through all the motions, but when my friend whom I was going to see once again was being swamped and unavailable, I wasn't upset, I was not surprised, its not personal. Maybe because I am numb about it but also because I understand what is happening there.

Life is such a strange balance, people can get ill and die, jobs come and go, money can disappear in an instance, but as long as you have people who believe in you and you believe in them, its all seems bearable, if not always fixable. However if you lose your faith in yourself of someone you feel is a constant, it can disappear, fall apart like a house of cards.

It took a long time for me to see you as you saw me, linked, kindred spirits. I don't see how you can tear that apart without tearing us both to shreds. When things were hard or bad, I could think of you and know somehow it would be okay, and now I can't.

Two days ago I went on strike, signed myself out of work, took off my watch and started walking. I bought tickets to the music series again, took old drugs to knock myself out, picked tomatoes and didn't share them. I don't know if I can turn this around, but I am going to try.

Your birthday is soon, and we are not getting any younger.
