How to get a Life by Me.

1. Stop beating yourself up about getting a life. Everyone needs fallow time. Instead of berating yourself, go get a manicure or something. If you don't have the money, do what my ex-girlfriend used to do. She went to all the make up counters in the department stores and talked the salesgirls into free samples. The haul made her very happy.

2. Find a hobby you are not going to stress out about. Make a journal. Don't get fussed if you can't think of anything to write in it. Get a box of crayons and draw how you feel at that moment. Give yourself permission to play.

3. Feed the elephant's child. Use the internet and find stuff that you like or interests you. Make a list of all those things that you read up on. Make a date with yourself to do one of those things on the list.

4. Go be in the moment, some where else. Go hug a tree. If you are in the desert like I am, don't go hug a cactus...that can be fatal. Go to a museum, go for a hike in the snow do something that you don't usually do, and just go breathe the air.

5. Plan a real vacation. Pretend that money is no object and decide where you want to go. Then set goals to achieve your vacation...you will quickly discover that the journey IS the destination.

Thank you. All that is very wise.

 

[Rhys]

Thank you. All that is very wise.

Welcome. Hope you can use some of it.

 

[HB1965]

Welcome. Hope you can use some of it.

I think so.

 

[Rhys]

I think so.

You don't have to "Get A Life" today. All you have to do is one thing...about 5% of whatever it is...but do that 5% consistantly. Over time, the percentages add up, and the process is not so overwhelming.

*slipping in with a martini and the rare cigarette*


*settling, feet up, on a divan*

Rhys... wish you were around.

 

[Rhys]

Hey Rhys,

I just found a book I haven't looked at in a while and I thought about you. "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence". It's in Japanese, all about the movie and lovely photos.

Gives me the urge to put on Sakamoto and Sylvian *sigh*

Oh that is an amazing movie. I had the soundtrack but had to leave it when I moved. I've been looking for the out of print cd at record shows forever.

Rhys... wish you were around.

Jadeling, I am sorry I missed you...

 

[snake0067]

What's up?

 

[LittleJade]

Jadeling, I am sorry I missed you...

I'm here, Rhysling.

 

[DevilishTexan]

RISE. As in, the morning.

 

[Rhys]

What's up?

Nada...doing some last minute studying.

 

[Rhys]

I'm here, Rhysling.

Hello there beautiful!

 

[LittleJade]

Hello there beautiful!

Hello sweetheart

 

[Rhys]

Hello sweetheart

So, what's doing?

 

[snake0067]

Nada...doing some last minute studying.

Coolness, hope its going well.

 

[LittleJade]

So, what's doing?

I'm strangely turned on by the love of Peter for Tom Ripley in "the Talented Mr Ripley"

 

[LittleJade]

Okay, Darling, it's bedtime.

I need to be refreshed for the opera tomorrow!

*kisses you softly, and slowly leaves the room*

 

[Rhys]

Coolness, hope its going well.

Yeah well... as good as its going to get I guess.

My eyeballs are bleeding.

 

[Rhys]

Okay, Darling, it's bedtime.

I need to be refreshed for the opera tomorrow!

*kisses you softly, and slowly leaves the room*

Goodnight love!

Isn't it! I cry. When Sgt. Hara tells Lawrence, "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence", I lose it. And I love Sakamoto's character, Yonoi's expression when Celliers kisses him on both cheeks... how he faints... *sigh*.

The soundtrack is pricey on Amazon. I don't have the soundtrack, but have bits on Sakamoto & Sylvian cds.

Sakamoto in this movie.. YUM!!!

This will take you back
