from adrienneuk :
hello, I've just begun here and the first thing I thought of doing was looking around for other people with similar interests - yes, it is a bit cheeky, but I was amazed that practically EVERY thing you have written on your profile is something which I have a passion for - so I just thought I'd leave a note and introduce myself...tada :P x
from clrmehppygrl :
Glad to see you around again, and I had the same feeling last month as my 3 years here at DLand approached. So I moved. I feel better over there. Not as much pressure for others to read. I feel more open. http://mslivenletlive.blogspot.com If you want to drop by. Maybe moving is the best thing for you. OUT of DLand, even.
from lumenatrix :
It is good to hear from you when you post, but at the same time, if you don't feel like posting anything, you shouldn't feel pressured to. I know the entries of mine that I hate the most are the ones where I'm basically typing "Well, I have nothing to say, but I feel like I should say something, so here is the story of my laundry." It's a diary, not a job. Just do what feels right. Glad to hear things are running relatively smoothly, though. :-)
from vina-apsara :
Glad to see you're back.
from kiosh :
Meow! You're back and that's great...
from whereibegin :
I still read, despite my own lack of updating. I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother and your husband's grandfather - I can only imagine how difficult these past several weeks for you. I hope the next 43 days are happier and better for you...
from f-i-n :
xoxoxo!
from desdemonia :
Hey :) I'm sorry to bother you but I was asking around for html help and Loner-blues told me that you might be willing to help me with questions that I have. Let me know please if you can :) Thank you so much !
from blueavenue :
well THAT sounds like fun! LA! ok i know i should know this, but what band is it? =) have fun!!
from lettynow :
Well if you need anything let me know.... I know i never leave you notes but I read you often and your coming to my hood!!! Yay!!!
from clarity25 :
!!!!!!!!!!!!YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
from gumphood :
Hey there! I can't read the new layout. dang. I'll have to do it at home.
from blueavenue :
just checkin' up on ya, making sure things are ok...long time no see! i love your photos on flickr by the way; you are SO talented! (i know i've said so before, but i'm just sayin.)
from clarity25 :
"and I miss you...like the desert misses the rain..and I miss you..". Hope all is well with you, Kris. You haven't updated in a while, just wanted to tell you that you're in my thoughts. Take care...
from clarity25 :
I'm sorry you wont be able to go to the concert. That does suck royally..and believe me, I know what you mean about feeling left out. I hate that feeling. I wasn't able to join all my friends to go to the class senior trip, and in college everyone was going to Hawaii and I couldn't afford that either. They came back all tan, ranting and raving about how great it was. Talking about the memories and laughing at the inside jokes. Well..I just relate. I know this isn't very encouraging. I hope there's a way you can make it. P.S. congratulations on the scholarship, kris!
from untamedwings :
I agree, the show was very good. I loved the spoof on the whole Corey Clark thing, Randy had me in hysterics in that. I had more & just blanked :D
from sapphyr :
I love the fact that you can be so honest with yourself. It goes against our very nature as humans to be so honest about our short comings. I can't say that I am always as honest. But don't take away from the fact that there are LOTS of good things about you, too! Next time you make a list it should be about that. I know that you didn't write that to receive "there-theres" and pats on the hand, but sometimes in our quest for better, we fail to notice the goodness that is already there. Hugs, Sapphyr
from clarity25 :
I'll be sending you an E-mail. Love you, Clarity.
from untamedwings :
Hugs.
from uridium15 :
i have a secret: the world doesn't work.
from gothamite :
i like your new color scheme.
from clarity25 :
Oh Greenday!! that sounded so awesome! I'm jealous!:). Thanks for your last note! Oh and yeah, I didn't sound so great in my sound file. I was pretty congested and embarrassed that I even posted it. UGH. haha..So what did you imagine I sounded like? Just out of curiousity:).
from hissandtell :
How have I missed all this? When did you change your template? God, I LOVE "my sweet old etcetera" - haven't thought of it in years. Congratulations on putting study behind you for a while. Oh, and the concert sounds fabulous! Love, R xxx
from lumenatrix :
I love Green Day. They're one of my home town bands, so I'm sort of required to, but I always really liked them. I still have my "Kiss me I'm punk" T-shirt from High School. Ok, now I feel old. :-)
from pumpkin144 :
hey that sounds like an awesome time! i can't wait to go see them in august! it'll be in a park, no seats, just nudging your way up as close to the front as possible! i can't wait! jimmy eat world will be the opener (i think) or at least one of the other bands there. i'm pumped!
from gumphood :
Did someone kidnap Jason and replace him with Jeremy Giambi?
from goingloopy :
I'm so jealous of your Green Day concert experience....sounds like it was a BLAST!!
from saucy99 :
Since you run the Bono diary ring I thought I'd swing by and ask...have you seen the Vertigo show yet? I saw it last night in Chicago and it was great! Oh, and I've been reading your diary as of late and I like it so I added you to my favorites, hope you don't mind!
from claritynew :
Happy Mother's day, Kris!:),
from gumphood :
Hey. I liked the Wilson stuff too.
from clarity25 :
Annabelle Wilson's paintings were beautiful, I clicked on her link. I really liked her style, it was inspiring.
from hissandtell :
Gracious, I love Annabelle Wilson's paintings. Her lecture must have been wonderful; she sounds like an amazingly inspirational woman. Love, R xxx
from gumphood :
See. I knew that I shouldn't gloat. Curt and Wells down? Miller is nowhere? only 1 game ahead? Baltamore in 1st. What the hell!
from clarity25 :
Nice new template btw, oh and I have to think up some good pic requests..oh damn, how could they?
from clarity25 :
Okay, After falling to the ground, clutching my chest in agony and writhing. I'm better. No.. I'm not..NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
from clarity25 :
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
from untamedwings :
Ya know, it HAD to be bad if we think so. Every week he has won me over by that weeks performance- until that fiasco. Much as I loved Scott for being the typical guy, I think he should be glad Scott was there last night. Otherwise I'd worry alot.
from sapphyr :
Thanks for your note, it made me smile. Yep, I am an escapist...big time. I really like your layout! I know what you mean about needing inspiration for writing. I have plenty of it these days but most of those thoughts need to go into my private folder which is in limbo someplace (no word from Andrew). Oh well, as always thanks for the support and if I can maybe I'll come up with a clever thought to inspire you!
from gumphood :
I didn't want to jinx anything, but yeah, it doesn't look great right now. its a long season. You will come around...
from untamedwings :
Hmmm. Ok. I'd like to see a pic of something that may seem really ordinary to us but that holds real sentimental value for you.
from blueavenue :
i'm trying to figure out that very thing right now, cuz when i go back to TX, it's going to be a HUGE undertaking. i have no idea how i'm going to get my stuff there. weird. and which stuff i actually NEED/can't do without. strange thing to consider.
from clarity25 :
P.S., I noticed your image host was cancelled, I can host your images for you. Just send them to me in an E-mail and I'll send back the links!
from clarity25 :
Thanks so much for the links!! OMG..I loved the song, the eyeliner..the way his hair hung in strings over his face..*sigh*, P.S. Don't worry about the thing you mentioned, I didn't feel that way at all. But what you said was so sweet and kind..thank you for caring and asking. You're such a good friend!:). hope you're having a good day!
from kiosh :
Big piano hugs! =0)
from kiosh :
Wow... A great entry where I can relate a lot to the things it describes. Profound appreciation for you and the best of wishes.
from candypop23 :
I just read your last entry and I liked it soo much!!Your description was perfect and I know EXACTLY how you feel!The fact that there is someone who is so..you, is so strange and at the same time absolutely beautiful. You can tell him or her anything but you don't need to because he/she already knows! Nothing goes unoticed, you don't have anywhere to hide. And the most important and scary thing is the realisation that the deepest and better part of yourself is so well hidden even from the people you considered close to you.I'm lucky to know two people like that. One is my boyfriend and the other one is a girl.Thank you for putting in words my thoughts!
from gothamite :
Thanks for the kudos. I'll be working for the online edition, nypost.com, making sure it runs smoothly and all that. It's a web programming/publishing job rather than a straight reporting gig.
from untamedwings :
He gets better every single week!
from hissandtell :
Hi - can't remember if I left you a note the other day when I visited and read a few of your older entries. So, I'm sorry if this is a double-up - but thanks so much for reading me; I was thrilled I'd made your list. Tragically, I've been computerless for a couple of days, so I'll make sure to find time this weekend to come back and read lots more. Love, R xxx
from gumphood :
I Hate your Yanks.
from pashiesplace :
SIMON was making fun of it & well, if that's all he has bad to say...About your entry yesterday...Myself, I've often found silly things to become objects of my affection. I really think it's a great & healthy way to stop hurting (hurt being the key word) over someone else. Hugs.
from gothamite :
kris, it's cool. i know you're busy and have your plate full. i'm annoyed at people i've known for years who lurk, i.e. another ex-girlfriend ... a different ex's mom, even ... and while i wish the people I've never met in person spoke to me more, I still feel like a lot of what I said wasn't doing me any good, so I had to scrap it. I don't like airing out my depression for all to see ... especially when it seems to fall on deaf, apathetic ears.
from pashiesplace :
The song is "Go To The Mirror"
from pashiesplace :
Quick listen here:http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000002OZY/qid=1112731788/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/002-9571979-3951268 Fab song!
from pashiesplace :
Oh that'll be great! Tommy is awesome, written by & filled with music from The Who. their better stuff actually.
from clarity25 :
Bring it on!:)
from clarity25 :
"I give myself such good advice, but I seldom follow it" Wow, that's me in a nutshell. I know the right way, I know how I SHOULD handle it, how I SHOULD see things, I know the advice to give myself..but I can't seem to pull myself together most days. Anyhow, I really related to that last entry. Also..I just wanted to thank you, Kris, from the bottom of my heart for your E-mail. It came at a time when I really needed it and what you said gave me so much comfort. I felt much less alone. Thank you for that, and for being a friend.
from gothamite :
Could you offer some insight into why no one ever offers me any sort of consolation when I depict that I'm going through something difficult? I'm sure it must be something about me that keeps people silent at the moments I could most use an ecouraging word. Since you've read me the longest, I'm curious to know what you think.
from dcdemocrat :
I think you are completely 100% right about wanting him to be respectful at the least of your art and your passion for it. Isn't that part of what it is all about? It is certainly not too much to ask that out of love for you he recogize and appreciate this thing that is so much a part of your soul. So yeah, thats what I think. I also think that it is awesome that you are pursuing what you love; you are extremely talented!
from blueavenue :
oh my GOD, my best friend and i were talking about the weather-depression thing at dinner tonight. so weird. happy announcement: i wore FLIP-FLOPS today. um, YAY! anyway, that kinda sucks about the whole disinterest in your art thing. when something is that important to you, even if he isn't explicitly interested in it himSELF, it seems like not too much to ask that he care enough to be interested in what YOU LOVE. so boo. and i dunno if i ever mentioned this, but in case not, i think your photos are pretty amazing. definite talent, girl. i think you've made the right choice to pursue your art. k bye. =)
from clarity25 :
"hehe" always ends up sounding like some dirty old man laugh! lol!...Okay, I don't get enough sleep and drink too much caffeine. Btw, thanks for the recent Con update! I had to refrain from coming over here again like a junkie to ask for it:)
from clarity25 :
Cool green day shirt! As for the creative fiction concerning said obsession..I bet it's interesting and if you feel like sharing. You have one person who wouldn't mind giving you feedback!:) hehe. As for your husband not expressing interest in your art. I understand how that would be frustrating, especially since it's such a big part of who you are.:(
from gothamite :
Well, don't drive yourself nuts. It'd just be nice to talk to you in a more real time sort of way. I'm fading pretty quickly, though, so I'll chill out for a bit longer and then probably turn in.
from gothamite :
So, what's shaking? I'm on AOL IM right now, so if you've got that or can get it, feel free to send me a message.
from gothamite :
You don't have aol? Because I don't have any of the others. I'm not in any position to be disgusted with anyone but myself, right now. If you've caught wind of my current entries, you might see that ... I don't feel haughty or worthy enough to pass any semblance of judgment on anything anyone else does.
from gothamite :
I think I know why. I'm not disgusted. Are you on IM?
from gothamite :
I guess. I don't hear much from you and then, pow, there you are. Strange coincidence.
from gothamite :
Damn, that was quick. Hello!
from gothamite :
I hate to be nit-picky, but you wrote that your husband "could care less" about your art. This is one of my linguistic pet peeves. If he could care less, that means that he must care somewhat since it implies less caring is possible. However, if you said he couldn't care less, then it would not be possible for him to care any less because it is implied that he doesn't care at all. You know what I mean? People do this all the time, "could care less" when they mean that they couldn't, that it matters so little; they don't care at all. It's along similar lines of "Yes" meaning "No" when someone asks "Do you mind?"
from sapphyr :
I know that I have told you this before but some of your relationship problems sound EXACTLY like what I went through. My EX wanted be to be everything to him but any time I asserted any effort into my own interests he ignored me. He never ONCE acknowledged any of my achievements. It hurt. I am sorry that this is happening to you but I am SO glad that you aren't afraid to use your voice AND your artistic voice! You can email me if you ever just want to talk in private. HUGS, ~Sapphyr
from pashiesplace :
Loved the MiniMe pic :) How'd you like Constantine last night? i actually loved him singing that!
from augustdreams :
Your little one looks adorable! :) *hugs*
from sapphyr :
I LOVE your Green Day shirt!!!! Your little one is so cute. Glad that you had a happy Easter despite the Michigan State upset. I was pulling for the Cats too, not a U of M or a M State fan AT ALL!!! Hugs, ~Sapphyr
from goingloopy :
...yet one more reason why sports are just a waste of time...but I love, love, loves me some Jack Johnson. :)
from blueavenue :
the women's team from baylor made it to the final four, i think. ?? oh, i went there for 2 and 1/2 years before i transferred to new york. i don't follow basketball (sorry, don't hate me), but my dad told me this morning that they were in the running. weird. usually baylor sucks at everything. =) that clip you posted of constantine's belly button was so funny! though (again, don't hate me) i don't actually find him attractive (repeat: don't hate me). lol. have a good one!
from gothamite :
Michigan State is my alma mater. Funny how that works.
from pisceanlore :
Go 'Cats!
from lauralgood :
well come on down and see Elvis C with me! Laural
from vina-apsara :
God, girl, you made me laugh my ass off at 2 in the morning! That is some bellybutton alright. :-)
from clarity25 :
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
from goingloopy :
D-land sucks right at the moment...the buddy list (when you put it on your page) isn't all alphabetical like it used to be, pictures are gone...grrr. And I'm sorry you're stressed...but glad that painting makes you not. At least for a little while. :)
from sapphyr :
Hi! I know exactly what you mean about the buddy list and all of the other problems here. I haven't been able to read until today! I have been going out of my bloody gourd over this diaryland crash! I have been dying to write about last week with Muse and her family and I can't! At any rate, you are one busy lady! I was tired reading your last entry! :~D Take care and try to find time to relax! Hugs, ~Sapphyr
from justamephit :
Just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your 'Where is the Love' entry. I'm exactly the same - that little piece of 'fan-fic' or whatever actually made me quiver a little out of disgust. And yet I do self-define as a hopeless romantic. I believe very much in love and romance and all that kind of stuff ... I just believe in this pre-packed vacuous bullshit that people buy into. It's such so depressingly conventional and sanitised you know? Like ... why does she have to wait patiently for him to kiss back, why is must she melt into the strong grasp. Just bleurgh!
from pashiesplace :
Kind of reminded me of what Dread Zepplin does to Led Zep. Takes a song, puts a different spin on it sort of tongue in cheek but it still works. You could tell he knew EXACTLY what he was doing with it which was cool.
from pashiesplace :
Idol was great this week. I loved Constantine's song. I'm so glad that someone finally mentioned it being kind of tongue in cheek though. That seemed lost on some people!
from clarity25 :
I know what you mean about getting stressed. Alot of people see me as very laid back too and just kind of like "live and let live" but I oftentimes let the smallest things overwhelm me and can get very stressed out when things in life begin to pile up and I can't handle it all at once.. i.e: cleaning, assignments,dramas, responsibilities..wondering about constantine. (lol). Thanks for your recent note with the links. I can't wait to go through all of them tonight. (Can't believe they screwed up the voting..that's annoying. But makes it all the more interesting in a way)
from clarity25 :
*ahem*..."American Idol" report. Please.:). God, I'm like some kind of junkie now coming for a fix.
from clarity25 :
Thanks so much for the links, girl! :)
from clarity25 :
Ah, you're so lucky! I would love to see Greenday in concert! Concerning birds, I have a strange fear of them too. I freaked out when a pigeon flew in our bedroom window and ever since I saw Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds". I can't bear the thought of being around too many of them at once. Particularly crows..*shivers*. P.S. So what's the verdict with Con? Is he still in? How did it go? (damn you, for gettting me addicted. lol)
from goingloopy :
Birds. Are. Creepy. And I'm excited about concert season, too...I'm going to see Tori Amos in Dallas next month and Bonnarooooooo in June...I think that, given my current lack of gainful employment, I'm going to have to miss some. Like U2. And Springsteen. Dammit.
from pashiesplace :
I thought he did really great last night. He went after it, but in his own way. He's not going anywhere!
from sapphyr :
LOL! It made me cringe too! You are so right about the view of romance changing as we get older. We all have crushes but they mature just like we do. But don't feel old. It is a realisation that we all come to at some point (especially when we have come from bad relationships and are over 30). Thanks for your note it made me feel SO MUCH better! Hugs, Sapphyr
from whereibegin :
Hello friend! I'm still here, and still reading every day, just taking a small break from writing. I imagine I'll update again in the next few days - I'm happy and doing well, I just don't feel the urge to write. But I am staying up to date on how all my D-land friends are doing... still here, just quiet. :)
from gumphood :
I've heard that. I don't know how he'd fit in with the straigh laced Yanks, but you guys need a center fielder! Bernie doesn't have alot left. I mean, this year you guys look good, and we look okay. I'm scared of Old Man Johnson. And Gimp Schilling is fine because he did what he had to, but that doesn't make the starts he'll miss any eaiser. But yeah...queer eye. They need it. Grubby bastards.
from pisceanlore :
Thanks for the note. I am feeling much better and should be back to normal soon. I did want to clarify something from your last entry. My interpretation is that you have no more patience for this artificial idea of romance that is surrounding us all the time, but that there is a place for real romance. Is that right, or did I completely miss the boat on that?
from clarity25 :
P.S. oh and um..speaking of constantine. Did he make it to the next level? When will you find out?
from clarity25 :
wow, that was a really thought-provoking entry. I agree with you, that excerpt made me cringe too. I think alot of romanticism in fantasies dissolved after my first sexual encounter. It wasn't like I imagined, not like the romance novels. But then again, very few things in life ARE like the romance novels. Alot of my fantasies started to fall away, after a negative experience in college, Almost ALL of it fell away. As we get older we look for something deeper than the surface, We get more cynical too. though I think somewhere inside me is still that hopeless romantic, and I hope I don't lose that entirely. The part that cries at the end of dramatic love story in a movie, or yearns for a passionate make out encounter on the beach in Greece some day. But it changes, and sometimes the every day realism of life, just makes it fade.
from dcdemocrat :
wow, it is funny (and maybe a little disturbing) to me that you often seem to write about things that I have been thinking alot about but can't seem to get down in words. Although obviously we don't know each other, it usually makes me wonder how eerily simlar our situations are exactly. It is clear to me that you are more able to get into words than I am. In any event, I don't know whether it is getting older that makes us look at romanticism differently, or just getting wiser through experience. I am relatively pretty young, but my experiences have led me to feel the exact same way that you do about romance and how it relates to relationships 'afterwards'. So thanks for putting this down, and know that it helps at the very least one person who can't seem to.
from lumenatrix :
I think a part of it is that as we get older, we realize that crap like the passage you quoted desn't really MEAN anything, it's just superficially romantic. As you get older and a little more experienced you realize a real romantic moment is much more mundane. It's when the person you're with can tell just by looking at you your day just sucked and gives you one of those good, hard, long hugs because they just know that's what will make you happy. I had a friend who once told me the most romantic thing his wife does is she takes the package the paper napkins come in and she cuts off the extra as the napkins get used. He thinks it looks messy to have all that extra wrapper, so she just does it to make him happy. I think that's the difference between adolecent, inexperienced, "story book" roamance and the "grown up" kind. You realize what's important and so your view of what is then romantic changes.
from pashiesplace :
I think *maybe* our ideas of romantic shifts all the time. Maybe it depends on what we are needing or what is just normal for us. Some people thing candlelite is romantic but to me it's a nightly thing. It's noral. The goofy, gushy things that should be romantic to me usually aren't. There's no formula for me. It's about genuineness I think.
from pashiesplace :
Aww feel better soon. I'm really happy with the top 12 on Idol. Okay all the guys and 2 girls anyway. Thrilled both rockers got thru, just to see that they could. They deserved it but I feared one would be cut anyway.
from pashiesplace :
Hoping poor Lilly is better this morning. Maybe it's a virus or something. My kids never got sick from shots but I know of alot who have.It passes fast at least. I loved Constantine tonite. I love Sting though so that song really worked for me. He's a rocker but I think he needed to do that because it was a bit different for him. The man drips sex I'll tell ya! I finally figured it out, he really reminds me (lookwise) of Michael Hutchence of INXS circa "Need You Tonite". Very hot.
from clarity25 :
What are you kidding me?! Don't worry, I'm converted. As soon as he stepped onto the stage looking like a cross between Bono from U2, Johnny Depp and Jim Morrison..I was in love! Then he starts belting out "Every little thing she does is magic.." (One of my fav. Police songs). He had me at "Hello!". He was *incredibly* sexy. (And I even picked up the phone and voted for him. NOT because he was the best singer of the lot..but just to see him on stage again.) But what is up with that creepy evil judge. Is he ALWAYS that rude? "A wannabe sting?". Well, if you start a "Constantine Fan club", You can count me in as your first member! lol. Believe me..I was swooning.:)
from ticktrix :
I tried to email you for the password, but the email bounced back. Damn AOL. My email is ticktrix@aol.com if you wuoldn't mind sending it to me. Good luck with your little puker ;)
from pashiesplace :
Thank god for Idol. That email is coming, I haven't forgotten.
from clarity25 :
"If you're in the mood to swoon that is" lol! I wont be missing A.I. tonight! Thanks for your note, I'm really glad that he was transferred to Penn. The new place is so much better..things are okay. It WAS hard. Ugh. I hate this. At any rate..I read through your priv. entries. It was so beautiful, and real, and bittersweet, honest and the emotions you expressed are ones we've all felt, are so true. I have more to say, but not here in your notebox. Hope you're having a good day:)
from kiosh :
Lovely colourbars! Hugs and much love! =0)
from pashiesplace :
TY for the PW, etc. I'm going to email you back in awhile once the kids are settled. I was in exactly the same situation at this time last year. Well, almost the same anyway. I'll fill in the blanks that I've left blank in my blog. Hugs.
from pashiesplace :
I'd love to read the private entries if you are comfortable with that. Constantine was hysterical on Elimidate. Also loved the livejournal link, LOL.
from kiosh :
Hi! I just wanted to say that I like the small changes you made to the template, with the links on the left. Hugs and positive chi! =0)
from goingloopy :
It's so frustrating when you have to WAIT for new stuff...I mean, shopping is all about instant gratification, baby. Maybe that's why I don't buy furniture. Either that, or it's because I'm poor. PS - I liked that picture that was dark with a little white flower. Way cool. :)
from augustdreams :
{{{Huge hugs from one walking ailment to another}}} I love your new layout, btw. It suits you. I always love reading your words, you're such a talented writer. I can easily get lost among your archives. Feel better soon, sweetie! *hugs*
from clarity25 :
Finally I understand what people are talking about in their entries concerning American Idol! For a while I actually have access to American Cable. yay! Congrats on your Astronomy test, I get thrilled by good grades too. Whether you're 16 or 26, it's all the same! Your new bed looks comfy too! Thanks for your note and for your E-mail, Things are getting better:), Hope the pain in your side subsides, and you're having a good week.
from kiosh :
Hi! I must say that I love your new bed! Woo hoo for the test! Much love and hugs! =0)
from sapphyr :
WOW! Congrats on the test AND that fab bed! All while in the throws of a nasty flu (incidentally you must have what I had)! You ROCK! Hope you continue to feel better quickly Hugs, ~Sapphyr
from pashiesplace :
Oh. Those pics of him are yummy! My bed is very similar to the one you bought! Love it so much. I'm not sure if the metal strikes me as semi-goth or just not so typical, either way I always lean towards metal.
from pashiesplace :
I forgot Scott. I always expect to not like him because of the crappy attitude & he always surprises me. Last night it occured to me that his attitude is his defense mechanism. He acts like a badass but his vulnerability seeps thru when onstage. So yep, i'm liking him too.
from pashiesplace :
I agree about David & Travis. David can't seem to break out of Stevie Wonder songs and he's grating my nerves, LOL. I agree about both Bo & Constantine. C. has sounded better but is so hot. Bo always sounds good but never appealed to me before last night. Joe is way too boybandish for me.
from gothamite :
I know you often get compliments on your layouts-of-the-week, but I must say that I'm not digging the phrenology one; it's too difficult for my poor old eyes to read the text above the cross-hatching. Inconsequential, I'm sure, but these are my proverbial two cents. Nice to hear from you, otherwise.
from gothamite :
so, what ever happened to you? did my e-mail blacklist me?
from kiosh :
V. glad to hear from you but not glad to read you're still sick... *Concentrating to send massive healing vibes* Good luck with everything and lots of hugs! =0)
from goingloopy :
The background pattern is cool, but it does make it hard to read. If you could find a darker font (i.e., arial black, but I know that one is boring as all hell), it would be ok...thanks for your compliments on the music survey. :) And I'm glad you're feeling better.
from dcdemocrat :
hey, i love your new template! and i totally agree with the suggestion to go get the cough syrup with codeine - it is simply God's gift to sick people. feel better!
from lumenatrix :
Yeah, like I said, it took me almost a year. I would put it down for weeks at a time and read something else. I think it helped not putting that pressure on myself to just get through it all at once, ya know? :-)
from justamephit :
Woah, dramatic layout. Lots of colour. I *think* I like it. It'll certainly take getting used to, after the cool, clean lines of the other one. No, I do like it :)
from kiosh :
They can't fool the children of the revolution! =0)
from kiosh :
Hello! Just dropped by to read your new entry and wish you get better soon... Take good care of yourself and receive many healing vibes I'm sending your way! I was thinking that your template is beautifully haunting... Best wishes!
from goingloopy :
...go to the doctor and get some of the GOOD cough medicine. The kind with codeine. It's worth the trip...even though going to the doctor sucks ass, and is expensive (I don't know if you have insurance)...the cough syrup is pretty cheap, and worth its weight in gold when you can't sleep and can't stop coughing. I hope you get well soon.
from blueavenue :
i know, isn't color mixing the WORST? so hard. but yeah, i think your painting came out quite nice! and i like the new layout, too. hope you get to feeling better very soon! hey hey! i had my rolling stone interview today. i'll write about it soon!
from gumphood :
Nice layout. Nice art. Very pretty to look at today.
from minstrelite :
I clicked on your name in a friend's notes, because "Bohemian Life" intrigued me. Then I read the definition of "Bohemian." By that definition, I might be a Borderline Bohemian. I like being around Bohemians because they tend to be freethinkers, and I can usually count on them to be themselves. That's not always the case, but it often is. Some are on some kind of bandwagon, but not as bad as conformists in general. They tend also not to be so afraid of life as conformists do. But I don't think I'm a Complete Bohemian, because I adhere to certain social conventions for the sake of convenience.
from vina-apsara :
Your new layout is gorgeous! Would that I had your talent. :-)
from wordsofmine :
Whoa! I love the new look. I also love your rendition of the Monet.
from younameit :
That is an excellent new page design. It is very appealing to the eye and, just as importantly, very easy to read.
from messylissa :
I LOVE your new design! You are truly talented- this took my breath away!
from pixie-grl :
Isn't this flu thing the best.... Ugh! Hope you feel better soon! xoxo
from goingloopy :
I'm sorry you've had the evil cold of bloody death...I'm just catching up on all my buddies (I've been slacking...), and I'll just say this re: your post v-day entry. Everything in your life has happened for a reason. As to what happens in the future, listen to your gut...and remember that you have to live for YOU. If you are not happy with yourself and your life, you will not be happy about anyone or anything else. You are strong and talented and you'll figure the shit out. Hang in there, chickie. (PS-I'm so going to download those songs. I need some new music.)
from clarity25 :
Rest is the best medicine I found from my own experiences with being sick. Just alot of sleep and putting all the stressful thoughts, things you have to do and scedules on the sideburner for a while. Grapefruits and Chicken soup too.. but maybe that's just placebo. I don't know:)
from clarity25 :
Sorry to hear you're still ill, But it's great that you were able to see "Madame Butterfly" and catching a Basketball game! (but it's always better when you're not battling a sickness) It's terrible when it just doesn't go away, It travels around within the family members and starts to mutate into a "super flu" (ugh) I hope you feel better soon, Kris. P.S. Thank you so much for your last E-mail, that meant alot to me. :)
from kiosh :
Hey! Hope you get better real soon! Take care and drink some tea with lemon and honey! Acoustic hugs!

I've been watching Carnivale and once a week is too long to wait!
from almostlaura :
Alright, this is coming from a child of a herbalist, so please bear (sp?) with me: You need to get your fine self to a nutrition store, stat. In there you shall pick up Echinacea, Vitamin C (preferably Ester-C) and Zinc. For clarity of mind, I also suggest picking up some fish oil. This, I swear to god, will help you kick the shit out of this cold. Power to you!
from justamephit :
The entry you wrote about Valentine's Day was absolutely amazing - I hope that doesn't sound too callous a thing to say about such a deep and emotional entry but it made me feel so many things I really wanted to tell you. I think I'm probably thinking about this sort of stuff a lot at the moment because two very close friends are in the process of divorcing messily and I'd always kind of bought into their faery-tale you know, more because I needed it than that they were particularly convicing. Your entry made me sad, and I certainly don't think the choice(s) you made make you stupid. The "perfect" marriage is a scarily convicing thing to buy into, I think ... the worst of it is, possibly, that the perfect marriage seems to be more about stability and security and harmony than romance or passion or any of those things you'd hope love would be about. Oh blah, my head is all over the place, and I'm drivelling. I hope I haven't inadvertantly offended or anything. I just wanted to let you know how much that entry moved me and made me think - reminds me (not that I ever need reminding) just how much reading diaries touches me.
from lauralgood :
hugs darling. I miss you. Laural
from clarity25 :
that was such a powerful entry, I read it last night and it made me think about so many things. I couldn't even formulate a response for the notebox. Well, I still can't today. I understand what you're describing. It's a difficult situation. Do you break out of a marriage that is comfortable to seek out something more passionate and fulfilling? Do you accept the cards dealt and make the most of it, looking at the good and ignoring the bad? I know what you mean about the guilt, In fact.. well, lets just say I understand:). I hope you find the answers, you'll know it in your heart and when you follow it, you'll know it's the path. If that makes any sense:). I'll have to continue that thought in an E-mail. Thank you for your last note. You know it's funny, when I had read that thing in your entry about "walking in front of a bus" last month, it stuck out in my mind because it made me laugh. Then after it actually almost happened to me. That quote was the first thing I thought of. crazy:).
from blueavenue :
wow. i really cannot even imagine how you must feel right now. what you said, "i feel guilty for things i haven't even done:" i swear, you say things sometimes that i've thought so many times. but i think you're so right about the lesser of 2 evils. it's better she see you happier, even if it means separated. at least i think so. well, i'm thinking about ya, girl. take care of yourself!
from kittycake4u :
i have been reading for a while and have always noticed your love for music. if you havn't heard or even if you have, damien rice is the shit. www.eskimofriends.com is awsome. and also you have an adorable little girl.
from pixie-grl :
Hey sweetie, it looks like you ripped a chapter out of my old diary! I know exactly where you are coming from with the whole "young and stupid" thing. But, like you, I would never change a thing. From all failure and misfortune we take something much greater. Something far more impacting. For you, you gained a beautiful little girl. For me, well, I got Bobby. If you ever need an ear, I'm a shout away. XOXO
from lumenatrix :
First off, let me ksay I love your journal. Your writing is so simple, but it gets right to the heart and the point of things. Second, my 2 cants, for what it's worth. He does know when you give up, at least subconciously, and that's why he writes when he does. He is stringing you along, though it sounds like you definately know that already and are just trying to figure out what to do about it. I know when I was in your situation this was the hardest point. I'm sending all my good thoughts and karma your way for this one. Oh, and the Johnny Depp, pics? Thanks very much for those too. :-)
from loner-blues :
I forgot how much I enjoy reading your diary Kris. I'm sorry it took me so long to remember. -cat
from blueavenue :
nice pics. =) i love johnny depp. and yes, i'm one of those people with a crush on michael vartan, but it started w/never been kissed. alias is just a bonus. and i also adore zach braff. he's kind of adorable, isn't he? however, i am boycotting american idol this season (long story). lol. anyway, peace out.
from almostlaura :
http://gardenstate.typepad.com/ This is Zach Braff's blog. It is really him. He's so goddamned cute, witty, goofy...PERFECT! Just wanted to share!
from sapphyr :
Yep! It sounds like you have the same hellish flu that I had. Your TV entry was really enjoyable! Thank you so much for your last note. I am honoured. ~S.
from augustdreams :
I'm sorry you've got the flu. I wish Aph and I could come bearing hugs and hot chocolate. Thanks for the comment. Heehee! (Go check out my entry again - I added a pic of the tapes. It seems too weird to be true!)

from clarity25 :
I hope you feel better, Kris!
from sapphyr :
OH HONEY! Not the flu! I do hope it isn't what I had. Nonetheless, I am so, so sorry! However your opening line "the flu's bitch" sent me into fits of laughter...thanks! Feel better soon! ~S.
from vla :
I *loved* your Ultimate Music Survey entry! That was so cool to read; it was really amazingly well done. Anyway, hope you feel better!!
from wordsofmine :
Don't you just hate those typos? One can go over text ten times and still not see it.
from sapphyr :
You really should consider writing music reviews. You are a natural.
from augustdreams :
I love your song choices! Also, I love me some swearing in lyrics too. :D Cheesy as it is, I love Alanis Morrisette's "You Oughta Know"
from goingloopy :
I'm so glad I'm not the only nosy freak on the planet...I really, really have to restrain myself not to be invasive. I want all the details. I've had to make a conscious effort not to nose around in people's shit. I'm usually pretty successful...because I remind myself that I would be completely pissed if someone did it to me.
from gumphood :
never worry about following an entry up. Life isn't like that. The truth is your best moments don't happen in order. They just happen. And if you stop to keep the memory of one in tact you'll miss others down the road.
from myownjourney :
Hiya. I go through Geocities at yahoo. They have starting price of about 9 bucks a month for 25mgs of space and upwards, which isn't too bad as far as that goes. I use it for my other site also though. I don't use alot of songs on my diary so i don't need a whole lot of space. So, yeah, I hope that helps. If you need anything else, let me know. And just so you know, I havn't been reading you long but you impress me with your writing. - Take Care
from blueavenue :
i forGOT! congrats on the photo contest; that's an amazing picture.
from blueavenue :
hey. your comments aren't working for me. has that happened to anyone else? anyway, just wanted to say i relate to a LOT of what you say. are you a pisces?? lol. know that i'm thinkin' bout ya.
from blueavenue :
wow. that was a really powerful entry. now i'm all choked up. i loved what you said about pain recycling, etc. that was really interesting; i'd never thought of it that way. also, jeff buckley's music is beautiful and mournful and plaintive and very fitting. and also, i saw the movie version of the age of innocence and was completely heartbroken at the ending. now i'll definitely have to read the book.
from lumenatrix :
I am so sorry you are in this. I have been there and it completely sucks. All of my good wishes and karma are shooting out towards you in hopes you feel a little comfort and a beginning to rebuild from. Beautiful entry, you are a talented writer.
from pisceanlore :
That was a truly remarkable entry. I felt more reading that than I do writing many of my own. If it helps any, I've felt much of the same, though to a lesser extent. Thank you for sharing this piece of yourself.
from vina-apsara :
((hugs))
from clarity25 :
My god, what a beautiful entry. I felt tears come to my eyes..maybe I'm overly emotional, but it just hit home for me. P.S. I loved the book "Age of Innocence" as well.
from dcdemocrat :
wow, what a great entry. I just went through something kind of similar and felt/feel some of the exact same things - I now it's probably wierd to say, but thanks for putting it down in words...I haven't been able to.
from almostlaura :
That was a beautiful entry. Just beautiful.
from augustdreams :
Thank you so much for the sweet note! :) I just fixed my buddylist. I had your new home bookmarked in my favorites but my buddylist still pointed to your old digs.
from kiosh :
Hello! Aaah, I completely understand what you're talking about. I was once watching *ahem* this very famous show's finale and I ended up crying! He he he, I had never publicly admitted that before... On the other hand, I read some time ago that losing teeth in your dreams means you're either worried about money or that a monetary surprise is in the near future. Hey, if you win the lottery buy us something pretty! *Wink* Oh! And check my newest entry "The soundtrack of my life", I think you may find it interesting! Lots of love!
from blueavenue :
oh my gosh, you have that frou frou quote on your profile! i, too, am currently obsessed with the garden state soundtrack. it's so wonderful. anyway, i'm gonna read your diary now. =)
from lumenatrix :
I have friends who refuse to go to the movies with me because I cry at absolutely everything. I used to cry when we would read books with sad parts in school. That was embarassing. I also get choked up during some commercials, like the IKEA one where the old lamp is left out in the rain by the dumpster and the new IKEA lamp is in the house and the voice over says it is silly to feel bad for the old lamp because it is doesn't have feelings, I still feel bad for the damn lamp. Also, I had a psych major friend tell me dreams about your teeth falling out are really common and usually have to do with being nervous about money. Hey, I don't invent it I just report it, but from your past entries it may not be too far off, eh? Hang in there. :-)
from whereibegin :
From one sensitive soul to another... it can be exhausting! That's why a little "me" time, away from husband and kids, is so important. And regarding your dream - I've had losing-my-teeth dreams before too. Apparently, it's a very common anxiety dream. Although, for me, since I'm married to a dentist, I wonder if there isn't a deeper meaning in there somewhere... :)
from goingloopy :
I hate that whole "thinking because of TV" thing...that always happens to me when I watch Sex & the City. Especially the ones with Mr. Big, because he reminds me of a guy who broke my heart. Sigh.
from sapphyr :
OHMIGOSH! We are so similar... That Extreme Makeover Home Edition was amasing! I had just come down with the flu and made myself worse by sobbing! About your dream: I had a very similar dream about 3 years ago and was so upset that I made a dental appointment the next day. I was too ashamed to admit WHY I scheduled an exam and cleaning so close to my last one. Then I consulted a lady who studies dreams. She said that teeth falling out symbolises our lack of self confidence and fear of shame and ridicule by others. It was right around the time I decided to pursue doctoral studies and my husband was leaving.Two times when my confidence was at an all time low, so it makes sense. I hope this helps. If I find her card, I'll see if she has a web site! Take care! ~S.
from sapphyr :
Wow, you're like super pretty!
from gothamite :
it's cool. i figured you were just busy. it's always good to hear from you, though.
from lettynow :
Hey there, your photos are so bad ass!! I added you to my favs. Hope you dont mind. I think I left this note already?? Maybe on your other diary? Well Bye!
from pashiesplace :
That is quite a huge compliment coming from you so thank you! I've tried to leave comments at your photoblog but it freezes. I'm guessing its due to *ahem* high traffic :) I love your work. The shoe pic was very cool. I love the contrast. B&W is boring to so many people but I adore it. I just see so much there, so many shades of gray & intricate texture.
from clarity25 :
You're so amazing, thank you for all the kind things you wrote. That meant so much to me! I'm at a loss for words, I always feel completely undeserving of compliments like that. I guess because I'm so painfully aware of all my flaws. Thank YOU for letting me post your beautiful photographs on my website, I meant it when I said that I'm at awe with your talent. You have a true ability to capture moments with your camera and beauty in the world around you that I simply can't. (Believe me, I've TRIED) anyhow, to avoid making this sound like a "love fest" haha.. I just wanted to say not to sell yourself short with your painting ability. It's a struggle in the beginning and you wont be happy with your artwork in the start. I remember sitting in class, looking around and comparing myself to everyone else. I felt like I sucked. I like your last painting and the colors you chose. You should think of submitting something to "Illustration Friday". (But be warned..your stats will go bonkers with about 150 additional hits a day, which freaked me out) But it's fun, the more you paint, the better you get at it and the more confident you'll feel with the media.
from gumphood :
your notes are still funky
from kiosh :
Hello babe! I like the painting, it has that style that I always find very appealing. And hey, I have to say this again: Your love for music is refreshing and makes me smile... Lots of love and hugs for you!
from clrmehppygrl :
I don't think your painting, is at all, bad for someone just starting out... it's about the same as I would probably do, so don't feel bad. Every journey begins with a single step. That's something I firmly believe in. You're doing great.
from tremendous :
Hey! I'm happy to add you, your entries are always an enjoyable read. And thanks about the ACT thing... I'm hoping I'll be able to raise mine a few more points to get around a 27 like you.. that's a great score! I know a guy who took it the first time and got a 30 on it. It's just like, Wow... good job, but I hate you. And congrats on your "hot" photoblog! You deserve it.
from some-trouble :
Hiya, I found your old diary through o-twinkle-o earlier today, and from there followed you here. I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed reading your entries and looking at your photos - you're very talented, thank you for sharing. I hope you don't mind but I added you to my buddy list. Take Care, Jo X
from pashiesplace :
Wow. Fab shots! I love B&W photos so very much! It is wonderful to see that someone else does as well!
from justamephit :
That you for you lovely note..err...notes (yay, praise in stereo *preens*) and thank God Diaryland is back up and nearly back to normal. I didn't realise how much I, uh, had come to need it, which is slightly worrying. Just out of sheer curiosity, why did you migrate diaries? I've read your 10 entries and I just want to say I'm absolutely loving your diary. Sorry, I'm turning in a crazy subject-hopper here, but I love The Age of Innocence... just to take it down a cultural notch, have you seen the movie? It captures the air of sophisticated claustrophia absolutely perfectly. Talk about a gilded cage.
from elephant72 :
i love your design like a carol king "i always wanted a real home with flowers on the windowsill.."
from clarity25 :
I hope you don't jump ship! I would miss you! granted I would read you wherever you went, but it would be different. You're my D-land bestfriend! (haha..Yeah,I'm so sappy!) I know it's kind of isolated from the rest of the web here in D-land. But that's kind of a nice thing, don't you think? You can write from the heart and feel a little bit secure. Like a nice community... anyhow, thanks for sharing that link, I'll write you an E-mail tonight.
from outoftime :
Ah ok :-)
from vla :
Thanks for adding me to your favorites list! And I don't know what the deal is with the viewing thing, but if I highlight the text, I can read it fine.
from vla :
Hey, I love your new diary! I don't know if it's just my browser or what, but it's hard to make out the text with the design running through it. I have to highlight it in order to read it. Just thought you might like to know, and like I said, it might just be me. Otherwise, though, it looks *so* cool.
from justamephit :
Just wanted to say I'm enjoying your diary ... is it some deliberate post-modern irony that takes the avid reader to an error page when the hapless fool clicks explanation? Well, I guess not, but it amused me very much :) I suppose it served me right for looking for easy answers.
from pashiesplace :
Awww Thank you :)
from kiosh :
Um... Something I've been wanting to ask you for some time - Er, what is a laminated list? Care to explain? Thanks!
from kiosh :
Hello dear! The best things with the new diary! Ok, so I've updated my favourites and added the new address, look forward to keep on reading your entries! Oh, and I love the new name. Much love and best wishes! =0)
from dcdemocrat :
Hi! Thanks for adding me, I will certainly add you to my short, but growing, list. Great diary.
from gothamite :
forgive me, "acutely" aware ... rather.
from vina-apsara :
Wow, didn't realise I was being read by others besides the usual suspects. Thanks for adding me and I will be adding you too. :-)
from gothamite :
I've been spared more than a few times, and I admit that it makes me wonder if there is some great something that has something in mind for me to do ... but aside from the immediate moment of "holy shit, I should have died!" which has happened to me insanely often, always in cars and always by a matter of inches, sometimes even after contact with things as big as an 18 wheeler, or the roof of my car with the ground ... as soon as I'm removed from the situation and the initial shock has worn off, I am vaguely aware of my yen for a higher purpose, but I'm accutely aware of my disdain for the purposelessness of my quotidian life, and its subsequent message, which I interpret to mean "everything happens at random, and you, my friend, you fuck, when it seems like your time has come but you somehow get away ... you're just a perversely lucky sonofabitch." That, or maybe my persistent survival is evidence of an utter lack of luck. Who can honestly tell?
from pashiesplace :
Love the name & the layout is great!
from clarity25 :
I like your new pad! The name is great!
from cats-corner :
Oh Kris, I just love the title of this new diary! It's fantastic! Are you leaving "irishblueyes" behind or are you planning on writing in both? -cat
from lauralgood :
Hugs and love. The new template is really awesome. I am glad you made the move...Keep happy. Love Laural

seriously on the whole ben/matt versus zach thing. i was sad garden state wasn't nominated tonight. at least i don't think it was; i missed a bit watching desperate housewives. =)
