Whats the info to get in your diary hun?
from thehour :
actually, i've never seen 'before sunrise' either. i purely took the quiz because clarity asked. so i don't even understand my own results. ;D
from thehour :
i know!!!! i can't even really believe it. but of course i will take TONS of pictures. and i'll be stocking up on batteries before we go. wheee! ♥
from enchancea :
its faeluv and 188484997 Ill probably unlock it in a lil while but thats the info for now
from thehour :
thank you so much for your comment. it made me smile. monty python DOES sound as if it is in order. even more fun with booze and pillow forts! might have to try for that friday night. wouldn't want to have to be anywhere afterwards. :)
from thehour :
it always makes me giggle to think of me exploding into a million pieces. sometimes i feel that way. or more likely, i feel like elastigirl from the incredibles. have you seen that? it's so cute. i sometimes wish i was more like violet.... able to disappear. thanks for your supporting comment. *hugs!*
from thehour :
yes, he is QUITE bad about the whole "why should i go to the doctor if they can't DO anything about it" thing. ~~ *giggle* yes, you are seeing my boob! so intimate on my diary! :D
from hissandtell :
Darling, I thought you had gone forever, but I see you've been back recently. If you are inclined to share, would you please email me your password? I've missed you awfully. Love, R xxx
from thehour :
dammit... i forgot i was going to respond to your comment too. :) for my exercise i'm doing a tape that i have. it's a low impact tape. the only one i've used consistently. unfortunately i don't have a yoga tape and i don't feel like i can do it from a book. i need to see it happening in front of me. you know? even better if i could take a class. i'd like to do anything to help with my anger issues. what's even more important is figuring out WHY it's happening in the first place. that's what's really bothering me. ♥
from thehour :
so did you recharge them? i sooo need to get back to it. but i can't seem to let myself focus when i'm in the house with it being in the state that it's in. i need to clean. badly. and i know that if i took the time, i wouldn't feel so discombobulated all of the time. but it's such a vicious circle. i'm so glad you got your cards out though... makes me want to go out and get some too! :)
from devil-jay :
Wow... I remember the pass. ;) So are you going to be a little more frequent here from now on?
from occoquan1 :
Thanks you for leaving me such a very sweet note! That truly made my day. :-) Blessings... Salem
from absinthesigh :
I have not disappeared and I have written you twice since your last email to me. Ironic that the most reliable way for us to communicate is through Diaryland!!! I'll try writing again. Maybe from yet another address. Leave me a note if you don't hear anything by the end of this week. Oh woe is me this darn internet. with much love, ophelia
from devil-jay :
*Almost* finished. Almost. But I still have time to fix it during spring. =)
from thehour :
the letter from santa came from the post office. kate (hunterpoo) used to work at the post office and mentioned that if there is a return address on the letters to santa that are mailed in, they will write back! i thought that was so cool! so i made a copy of munchkin's letter and mailed it in with a return address. and it was free! almost... the stamp, i guess. :) ~~ and thanks for the compliments on my hair! even though it is SO RED, i've gotten tons of compliments on it. so maybe i'll keep it up for awhile. we'll see. :)
from thehour :
exactly! i want any damage to my stuff done by me! i knew YOU'd understand. :) ~~ my throat is fine. my cough is making me crazy. when i talk extensively or breathe in cold air, it starts an attack. AND the worst part is that my worst coughing fits happen while i'm ASLEEP. asleep! what causes you to cough out your internal organs while you're sleeping??? so of course, that makes it difficult to go back to sleep. *sigh*
from thehour :
actually, no... i didn't get a buzz from those three drinks. but they were restaurant drinks so they weren't strong. and i was eating so that helped me not get a buzz too. ah well. it was still fun. :)
from thehour :
i love that tree too. i knew you'd appreciate it! it was actually nice out that day, so the sky was not deceiving... the wind was cool tho.
from thehour :
thanks! i'm glad i had a long weekend too. it was so nice. i just wish you could have one too! i think you would probably like 'army of darkness'. it's monty pythonesque mixed with a horror movie. not scary at all though. ~~ that week that i was updating about WAS stressful. which was why i couldn't update about it as it was happening. but the last weekend more than made up for it. i'm so glad about the car too. the whole point of getting it was for K to have a reliable vehicle and not one that needs work ALL of the time. we HAVE some of THOSE! :) so yeah... it will be a struggle, but with him driving over 100 miles round trip to school at least 3x a week plus work, it was necessary. and hopefully i won't have to leave work unnecessarily anymore! not that i didn't like leaving, but i need to keep my job. for now at least. hopefully that day will come that i can tell them to fuck off. :)
from thehour :
you were actually a great help. i respect you opinion so i'm really glad you responded to that part of the entry. i started taking them yesterday. so we'll see. ~~ i don't know what kind of jobs they have available but it's an insurance agency. actually it's MY insurance agency. and i have insurance background so we'll see. i don't think i'd mind being an agent myself but i need to pass some test for that. (from what i remember when i worked cs at an insurance company)
from thehour :
she's a ham ALL of the time! and she was in her nightgown. i don't remember what i told her but it was probably something like "after you brush your teeth, we'll read a story okay?" and that was her response. she always gives the thumbs up. don't know where she got it. if we get around to the pumpkin carving, i'll definitely take pictures!
from absinthesigh :
Whee doggie I got yer mail and writ ya right back 8-). Phew. I was begining to think I was losing my mind. Moral of the story: the myrealbox address works so watch for my reply from that address. with mucho amore, ophelia
from thehour :
you know... the last entry where haloscan ate your comments? it only ate the first one. the second one is there. :) i know, i know... frustrating. but still. i'm not used to looking in notes anymore! well... not first anyway. :D ~~ yes... sexy, sexy david. *wistful sigh* i didn't know what you'd think of him... with the piercings and all. wasn't sure that he would be your type. i kinda go for the bad boy i-can-kick-your-ass type, huh? *giggle* ~~ the player is actually the $49.99. the other thing (the juke box looking thing) is $39.99. but i don't need both. only the one. the jukebox is optional. otherwise we wouldn't even think of it. i liked the tinkerbell one too. but i have a feeling she'd like one of the pink ones.
from thehour :
the restaurant is pretty, but the food is just okay. if you ever come down, we can go for lunch! on a pretty day. there are lots of other great places for nice scenery around here. one is right on the river up in the trees. the decks are on the side of the cliff going down to the water. gorgeous!
from thehour :
thank you so much for your comment. it was sooo sweet. i really do appreciate all of the compliments on how i handle things with munchkin. it's so hard to tell if i'm doing the right thing, you know? ~~ i actually had the rock/metal radio station blaring. i didn't want to have to stop and change out cds or anything like that. and i wanted a mix of things. ~~ and yes! you must take a picture of you wearing the anklet. it IS one of her products. *hugs*
from absinthesigh :
Still nothing, this is silly! Try [email protected] we'll see if that works. with love, ophelia
from absinthesigh :
I did not get you rmessage - no spam filter on that account so please try again: [email protected] can't wait to hear from you 8-). with love, ophelia
from absinthesigh :
For some unknown reason I am unable to get many Diaryland diaries (including yours) to load on my home computer so I have not been able to leave you any notes but please know I have been trying for months to contact you! I am house sitting and using their computer so am finally able to at least leave you a note. I have moved my diary to http://eidola.journalspace.com and am hoping to keep touch with you. If you would like to stay in touch please write to me at [email protected]. I hope all is well with you & I miss you. BTW... I saw the screening of Serenity in August. There are no words... except.. Bring lots of kleenex. with love, ophelia
from devil-jay :
It was very overwhelming(sp?). Not sure what to say except that thinking of it makes me a bit emotional. I try to accept the fact that it doesn't matter if I don't know everything from day one. I'll take it slow and will try to not put too high expectations in the beginning.
from thehour :
WHAT?!?!?! get thee to a blockbuster type place NOW girl! go on! off with you!!! you absolutely MUST see it. in fact, if you were nearby i'd kidnap you and drag you to my house so that we could watch it. it's soooo good! and i can't wait for the sequel! ~~ jewelry sales are going well. i mean, for the effort i'm putting out, they are going really well. i'm not a sales person type so the effort has been minimal. but since i started i've sold about $140 worth. ~~ sorry to make you want the slush... is there anywhere near you that has those?
from thehour :
well the funny thing is that it started on tuesday. but the cramps didn't start till waaay early friday morning. i'm kinda wondering if i had a bug too tho because i'm feeling alot better today. a little crampy here and there but mostly better. and my headache is better too. i have one here and there but mostly not. mil says it was from exhaustion. may be true because i did feel better after sleeping until noon today.
from enchancea :
I need your new link again, I had to redo this pc and lost it you can email me at: [email protected]
from thehour :
i was kinda thiking of writing that in a card for my dad's birthday in a couple of weeks. i'm probably the only person ever to consider writing something in a card that includes the word 'sucks'. so i guess i need to think of something else, huh?
from thehour :
so far no sickies today! yay! but we're still staying off the diary and continuing lots of starches. hopefully she'll be fine. :) thanks for your concern... and i'll be missing you! i might have a devious plan to show you just how much... kinda. mwahahaha!
from occoquan1 :
Thanks for the compliment on the poem! :-) Glad you liked it! I love graveyards...I do the same thing...wonder from stone to stone...I feel drawn to graveyards for some reason. Some people would find that strange, but they always seem very peaceful to me.
from thehour :
& hearts ; but all together... ♥
from thehour :
from thehour :
yes! i petted him!!! i was keeping it a secret because i wanted to write the entry. and i didn't want you to think it was old news. :) oh... and thanks for putting that cujo image in my mind. i hadn't thought of the similarity until you mentioned it. however, buster wasn't loose... just scary. :) i was telling salem that i did digress a little yesterday and was very nervous again. right after i was so proud of myself! but still.. work in progress, right? ~~ and yes... you MUST face the dentist fear after vacation! if nothing else, to take care of that cavity. (((hugs)))
from occoquan1 :
Hi sweetie! Thanks for the concern and the hugs, they are definitely appreciated. I am fine, though. I just don't physically do well in the kind of heat that we've been having. It's literally making me ill, which means keeping as cool as possible. But other than that, I am doing well. :-) Especially with cyber-buddies like you keeping an eye out on me. :-) As for my diary being worthwhile, sometimes I lead such an ordinary life I wonder if what I am typing is worth saving to a diary, so I am glad you are enjoying it and finding it worthy. That makes me feel better too. :-D Blessings and much love, Salem
from thehour :
i'm so glad about my alice bag too! isn't it cute??? i love how it says 'drink me' and other little quotes in the background. and the size is PERFECT. it fits both smaller bags and my organizer perfectly! i love it! i did like the amy brown bag too, but it was too small. :( otherwise i might have gotten it. i just couldn't justify purchasing something that wouldn't work for me. plus, if i HAD purchased it, i wouldn't have found this bag. ~~ on the comments thing... more of a change in how i see things. just wanted to mention it because it erased all back comments from view, but not from my report that i see. didn't want anyone to think that i was erasing comments! i LOVE comments! (((hugs!)))
from occoquan1 :
Thanks for the really nice note! I am so glad you find my diary worthwhile...which is more than I can say about myself personally. The heat has literally got me down and out. Moving about only as much as necessary. Your Tarot scrying project sounds very interesting. I wonder how the interpretations would change depending on which deck you use. I mean, yeah, the Major Arcana cards should be the same from deck to deck, but the illustrations can really somewhat alter the meaning. Hmmmmm. I look forward to hearing your results. Love, Salem
from occoquan1 :
I am in! It worked this time. Just wanted to say again how lovely your writing style is. I felt like I was there. Your babies sound wonderful, and very appreciative of mom taking them places. :-) Glad you heeded your babies' growl and left when you did. Dogs are our protectors, and they sense things we do not. Same with cats. I look forward to perusing your other journal as well. Blessings and many thanks, Salem
from thehour :
HEELS? omg, no. i just saw some at the store yesterday... i have a rant about it in fact. i just don't see heels of any kind on a little girl! it's ridiculous! you can have sparkly pretty shoes that don't look like they belong on a hooker... i'm sorry, that's just how i feel. ugh. i was thinking of including something about the shoes and some of the clothes i saw in the entry i do with munchkin's pics before you even mentioned that. i'm not attacking your neice. please don't feel that way. she just wants pretty stuff and that's understandable. i would just never let munchkin wear anything like that. i'm attacking these idiots that manufacture these ridiculous clothes and things for kids. and probably the people that buy them. clothing should be age appropriate. and many things i saw at the store just did NOT fit the little girl age group to me. ooooh, please don't get offended by my comments. again, i'm not attacking your neice or you. (((hugs)))~~ oh, and i haven't listened yet. i'm trying to get there, i promise! it just might be a few days...
from thehour :
no spam. but lots of jokes and emails from my yahoo groups. i've just been too lazy to read them. ~~ that butterscotch sundae sounds good. never had one. i used to love to go and get m&m blizzards but now a small one is too much for me. never thought i'd say THAT. heehee.
from thehour :
lol at bits of me everywhere. i'd truly just settle for some of my tummy and ass to fall off. maybe i can explode strategically. :) and now that you and someone else have mentioned it, my MIL asking that was stupid and inconsiderate of her. however, i also feel for her. she is stuck at home most of the time. her husband really only takes her to dialysis and that's it. i'd hate to be stuck at home relying on someone else to take me places. so that's why i keep saying yes to her even when i don't want to. ~~ i'm glad about my weekend too. i do plan on taking a day for me, but i dont know what to do with myself. i really need to just go and do fun stuff alone for me, but can't really afford to. (i'd love to spend the day at the bookstore complete with presents, take myself to lunch, and going to see willy wonka alone. maybe i can think of something more economical.) and if i stay home, i'll end up cleaning and shit. which is fine, but not condusive to me relaxing and taking 'me' time. i promise i'll try to do something like that. k? ~~ i'm with ya on the cosmic shit getting back to normal. i want normal!!! although right now the padded room and you hanging out doesn't sound all that bad... ;)
from devil-jay :
Feisty?! Okey. =) There are some tweaks left to do but at least now I like to go back to DJ. =)
from occoquan1 :
Dear, could you forward me your password so I can access your diary, if you don't mind? I've been out of it for awhile, so I am having to ask this of a lot of my favorite diaries. Luv, Salem
from enchancea :
no problem, i dont mind what you do with it
from devil-jay :
Ah nice layout. =) And thanks for letting me back in. =)
from devil-jay :
Hmmm... I can't read your stuff. =( It's locked
from enchancea :
glad it finally worked!
from enchancea :
Did you change your password? Its not letting me in for some reason
from enchancea :
I finally figured out a way to send it to you. Let me know if you got it ok
from devil-jay :
Oh would you, please?! I had totally forgotten about your description of me in your profile. I would very much like to have this place separated from GJ. Maybe I should lock mine too?! Hmm. // You can read the comments there if you like. I don't mind and I don't think She minds either. =) I'm just a little worried that you might think I somehow ... "left you", so to speak, and spend too much time with her on RS. Cause that's the last thing I want. You would let me know if that was the case, right?!
from devil-jay :
Yeah the C/K think is really weird. And all the Cs have been pronounced as Ks. The only one that didn't fit the pattern was Ami. *thoughtful*. Anyway. The last part was just me cleaning my brain. I'm not doing the "past year event" again. Must admit it feels kind of weird that you have access to both places and can follow this. Or... the comments. eh
from enchancea :
I finished the layout but for some reason it isnt letting me mail it Ill try to catch you on AIM if you have it, my name on there is the same as here
from thehour :
no. :( things at work suck. i considered calling in and quitting last night. but... i'm just so damned responsible. however, i am thinking of calling every doctors office in our town to see if they are hiring. we'll see. K fully supports that idea and even said he'd help.
from enchancea :
Do you mind if I make you a layout, you dont have to use it but I have a couple of images that just remind me of you so much and I cant resist
from thehour :
plans are NOT, i repeat, NOT foiled because chocolately goodness is a great surprise whether i've tried them or not. k? k. thanks for the compliments on my hair! i've gotten quite a few! unfortunately, i'm not that happy with it. i mean it looks nice and all, but it's just not what i was wanting. i wanted lighter red. summery, you know? oh well. i know for next time. and the shiny was from the wonderful conditioner included in the box. loved. it. but then my hair was so soft it wouldn't stay in the scrunchie.
from enchancea :
My hotmail email got deleted because I didnt log into it for a very long time. You can send it to [email protected]
from thehour :
any insights on that one?
from enchancea :
When you gonna unlock your diary hun?
from thehour :
VERY appropriate. i wish i could wear them to work tomorrow.
from thehour :
you on?
from thehour :
i actually tried the website that was left for me in the comments and its working well. so i think i'll keep that up. thanks for the info though! and the list is actually more like goals. not things i'm doing, but things i want to do. i tried to modify to say that, but i couldn't get it to. oh well. you should check it out. i think it will help for me to look at them.
from thehour :
*giggling at your comment* yes, i remember that too. 'look mommy, it's a sunny day!' lol. it was too cute. but made me wonder if i had given birth to a brady kid. the horror! :D
from thehour :
i read your entry earlier this week, but wanted to wait until i was in a less horrible mood to comment. i think your experience was great! i hope you are able to keep it up. if your relationship is unhappy, then it needs to be fixed or terminated. i'm definitely not in any position to tell you which, but you have to do things for yourself and make yourself happy. same for him. the only person that can make him happy is him. so instead of blaming you, he needs to work towards doing something about it... like you did that day. i hope it was not a hormonal fluke and you are able to stay in contact with your inner-goddess. she's looking out for you. AND--- thanks so much for the card! i got it yesterday and boy, did i need it after the last 15 minutes of my work day. it was so sweet to see the envelope sitting there! munchkin wanted to open it but i waited until i was alone so that i could open it and enjoy it fully. (((hugs!)))
from devil-jay :
You go girl! ;)
from thehour :
yes, munchkin enjoyed the movie. and that's what counts!
from thehour :
i know.. i'm so glad she's being brave! i just hope the excitement gets her through... i know she'll start getting a little nervous the closer we get.
from thehour :
honestly i have no idea how close the seats are. i didn't ask. they might just be first available so i may be sprinting to the front as soon as doors open. that's what happened last time so we'll see. :) i do know that we will be close to the stage. there were amphitheater tickets and there were 'grass' tickets. we got the amphitheater tickets. need to see my geoff! ;)
from devil-jay :
Wow. That's ... 14 more years. O.o Crazy. But I do want my cat to break the 10th year. 20 would be even greater! =) I'll continue to keep her happy. I bet happy cats live longer.
from devil-jay :
Thanks. So you think it'll work then? I mean, as an assignement to get into school? // Mum and I have never had a cat that got older than 8 years so I am a little worried. One got cancer from eating birthcontrol pills for too long and the other got some kind of stomach disease and we had to put her to sleep. She show no sign of being unhealthy so that's good. She's sleeping in a shoe box at the moment. O.o Crazy.
from enchancea :
where are you dear?
from hissandtell :
Are you ever coming back, darling? Can you please drop me a note when you do? Love, R xxx
from devil-jay :
It's a fictional book, and yes, it was rape. But think about it, to let a dice make your choices. So many things would happen in your life that can't even imagine. If you have the guts to follow through that is. I would like to try but the whole thing freaks me out a bit. // As for the guy. Yeah. He was kinda strange last night. And then a bit later I got another private message from someone who said "Hey cexy". I don't remember if I said something at that point but the person added "I have seen your website". I... yeah! I said "you don't know me" and this person said "yes I do.I saw your website". I just retorted s/he can't possibly know what I look like and shouldn't make statements like that. If there's no annoying, rude brats then there's the private messengers with their "sexy talk". Gah. Give me strength. Best way is to ignore them but I can't. Oh, and I thought, and still have my suspicions, that this Aron guy was the same who messaged me with a 3d name. He has two characters but wouldn't surprise me if there's more which he might use to mess with people. Paranoiaaaa. X|
from devil-jay :
He's from Australia. I'll know more when he has set up is GJ account. ;)
from devil-jay :
haha...me?! carry the child?! Rrrright. When hell freezes over! No I want to be the "daddy". ;D Daddy J... DJ.
from thehour :
awwww... so sweet about the symbolism. i just wish you could experience them the way i did/do. and i know. i'm so upset about it. i don't think i can truly convey just how upset i am. but there will ALWAYS be cascarones. :) even if i have to buy them rather than make them. they are the best easter basket fillers! they make the basket colorful and look full, but don't give cavities and won't hang around my house for the next year or more. :)
from thehour :
so not lame! good questions! but i'll need to tackle them tomorrow or so.
from devil-jay :
...and you ask me this?! The one who just cancelled it because I think it's stupid. I don't know why we have it. But if you own a tv (non plasma) or a computer with tv card installed you HAVE to pay a fee. They are going to change it though so that you have to buy one of those boxes to be able to watch tv. It's insane. I'm not that well informed so I can't say exactely what's going on, but ... yeah, they talked about the analog network. It's going to vanish and I think this means those with antenna can't see shit within a few years. Haaha. Sweden is fucked up in so many ways! Some things are great and other things just don't make sense.
from thehour :
i appreciate your concern. i do still have some pain today, but it's not as bad as yesterday. so i think i'll be okay. (((hugs!)))
from enchancea :
I could deal with a garter snake. But I do rather like pythons and boa's. My fav is Anaconda's but Ill just admire them from afar.
from daisydee1 :
Thanks! It's been such a rollercoaster ride, but San Francisco is such a liberating place to be. :-)
from thehour :
okay, i finally watched it last night. it was good, i liked it alot. but watching matthew mcconaughey definitely didn't hurt matters. he's just too adorable. anyway, i'd definitely watch it again and maybe buy it.
from devil-jay :
Maniac. ;) *massive hugses* Thank you. You have a lovely singing voice. =D
from devil-jay :
No I don't think universities and the like is considered "anniversary material". Sucks because that was the best time of my life. Those people were actually fun to be with and around. I miss the majority of them.
from thehour :
still haven't watched it. it's on the kitchen counter, begging me to call in and curl up on the couch.
from absinthesigh :
I missed you!!!! smooches, ophelia
from thehour :
i know! i was so annoyed yesterday when i kept trying to post and then my post wouldn't show up. but it's fixed now. apparently they changed servers. hope it fixes the problems.
from devil-jay :
I was supposed to write about the chimps but Kimsy distracted me. =) I'll write about them today...I think. But back to the cats. I've decided to be more social with my kittycat. Especially if work has been hell. I think she can release the stress.
from thehour :
i'm sorry you're in a crappy mood. hugs! it'll get better i'm sure. and i have been writing lately... don't know if you checked for previous ones. feel better soon!
from thehour :
gah! i missed you by like... 3 minutes!
from daisydee1 :
I was listening to Enigma's MCMXC a.D. It really is my favorite. I have one of their other ones, but this one gets the most airtime. :-)
from hissandtell :
Ohhh, sorry you're feeling down, doll. But tell me, have you checked out my latest diary entry? I thought of you and your babies when J's cinematic masterpiece was in post-production. You know, it just might cheer you a teensy little bit... Love, R xxx
from devil-jay :
So the links section is outside of the window? Hmm. I might make it a little bit smaller but not now. Thank you for having a look. *hugs*
from devil-jay :
Hi. Could you check the "new" look of d.j? I've included the red background in the width (which is 900+px) unlike before. You're a "800x600" and therefor "scroller" so that's why I ask. ;) Is it annoying in any way?
from absinthesigh :
Okay! It's a date! with love, ophelia
from enchancea :
Lovely story, definitely a sign not to cut your hair.
from devil-jay :
Thank you. My obsession with Paine isn't over yet. ;) I have a box with 70+ cards to pick up tomorrow. Paaaaaiiiineeee. ;D
from daisydee1 :
In college I decorated my dorm room walls with Waterhouse prints, my fave being the Lady of Shallot. There is also a poem by Lord Alfred Tennyson. In the film "Anne of Green Gables," Anne recreates the scene depicted in the Waterhouse while acting Tennyson's poem. She made me wish I was a redhead with long hair. :-)
from absinthesigh :
I *LOVE* Waterhouse. He is my most favorite artist. My life long dream is to someday visit the Tate Museum where many of his paintings reside. Thank you for that wonderful breath of fresh air. with love, *ophelia* ;-)
from thehour :
gah, come back! i walked out for 2 minis! you have no patience at all, do you?
from thehour :
hey! where the heck are ya? are you back? i almost fell out of my chair when i saw a note! why was i thinking you'd be gone until the 10th?
from enchancea :
Have a great time!
from incinerated :
Hope you have a great time!
from devil-jay :
*hyper-status* How will I cope... I mean, ehrm, have a nice trip. ;)
from absinthesigh :
Have a wonderful time! I'll miss you and will be thinking of you enjoying the warmer weather! with love, ophelia
from hissandtell :
Well, have a fabulous holiday, darling - and don't you dare forget us! Happy New Year, gorgeous. Love, R xxx
from daisydee1 :
Thankyou! :-)
from devil-jay :
Yeah it went well. No "Behave!"s at all. ;) Sounds like you got more presents than the Brats. Mmmm-hmmm. ;)
from thehour :
thank you so much for the e-card! it made my day! and thanks for the emails today.... too funny. :D
from enchancea :
Have a great Solstice!
from incinerated :
Well, it's already been said, but I'll say it again...beautiful tree! It looks so elegant.
from enchancea :
beautiful tree!
from hissandtell :
Great tree! Biiiiiig balls! Love, R xxx
from enchancea :
Adorable!

Hey there. I'm fine. I am a little banged up, but nothing that won't heal in a few days. Mostly I was just startled. But things are better today. Thanks for checking up on me. :-)
from thehour :
i'm with you. let's become hermits.
from daisydee1 :
No I haven't, although the titbits that came up when I plugged them into Amazon makes me curious. Are you reading them?
from fiongalla :
The emphasis on detachment in bushido is of course directly related to the influence of Buddhism (especially the Zen school) ... no one said it was easy! :-) XO, F.
from daisydee1 :
Yay! It's nice to know I'm not out there crying alone. lol :-)
from daisydee1 :
My always-evolving perspective: In the buddhist path I follow, love and detachment can co-exist. Our earthly desires are part of what makes us human, but when we meditate on the reasons behind our desire, we can see ourselves more clearly.// Meditating is a space of detachment, and briefly letting go of those temporal concerns allows a larger perspective of life to emerge. For me, 10+ years of my buddhist chanting has resulted in my shedding boatloads of fear and agitation. Things that concerned or angered me before (such as loss of loved ones through death, health issues, ostracization, etc) no longer impact me the same way. Armed with my beliefs in karma, personal growth, and the inherent transient nature of all things, I've cultivated deep relationships without that heavy reactive emotion (aka attachment) that makes decent people do crazy things (you know, like the characters in shakespeare's plays). // I think the Samurai view detachment in a similar way. By not pouring their crazy emotions (good and bad)into transient concerns, this energy compresses like a laser beam into their warrior and spiritual activites. This gives them sharper focus and strength on all levels. Dunno. Fascinating topic. :-)
from fiongalla :
The way of inner peace and the way of the warrior aren't necessarily at odds. You might be interested in checking into _bushido_ (the way of the warrior) among the samurai in Japan. XO, F.

Looking after those who depend on me is always a huge spirit-lift for me too. Just filling the bird-feeders and re-filling the bird baths in the garden always makes me soar. And of course, then I get to enjoy my beautiful grateful feathery (and scaly) visitors even more than usual. Love, R xxx

My constallation result was just like yours. It's a bit freaky.

Darling, you know I adore you and sincerely think your good deeds are entirely admirable and worthy of my deepest respect. But "have it off" obviously has a vastly different connotation here. That's all I'm sayin'. Smooch. Love, R xxx

The lady kept HOOVERING while you were choosing glasses? Goodness, I would have been so cross!

Some service providers are amazing, aren't they? Love, R xxx

i liked chronicles of riddick. i didn't love it, but i liked it okay. it's actually the sequel to pitch black, if you've ever seen that. it's about a dangerous (sexy) convict and his adventures through space. vin diesel is in it. in all of his sexy, muscley armed glory. *drool* i haven't watched secret window yet for that very reason... waiting for K to be here! and you MUST tell me how to do the screen capture. i asked K, but he was vague as usual.
from thehour :
i must say that despite you being cold, the picture you painted with the snow and all sounds wonderful. maybe only because that NEVER happens here. curl up on the couch with your hot chocolate... i wish i could do the same, only i'd probably be mesmerized by the snow. i think i'm going to try cleaning the house today. humph... your plans sound better.

Yeah I could do that but I never read them anyway. Besides, knowing that some of them are gone might ease my mind.

i know what you mean about the xmas season approaching. usually i have my tree up by the end of the thanksgiving weekend, but i have no desire to do it. i've actually felt fairlly apathetic towards xmas for the last few years. it sucks. i miss getting in the spirit, but haven't been able to for some time now. i hope you find your spirit despite all of the work craziness.
from devil-jay :
Yeah it's paid sick leave. It would make things a little difficult if it wasn't. Unfortunately I'll be staying inside for now. The weather is somewhat bad right now. It's been raining since last night, and the temperature is near freezingpoint but still on the + side. No snow. // I have two of the Dark Tower books. The Gunslinger and the 2nd one. I haven't found the others (translated) yet though. I have to read them again to remember. It was about 10 years ago I read them. I have 17 S.King books. One I really liked was Geralds Game. Cujo was good too.
from thehour :
glad you finally got to the eye doc. i need to go soooo bad. haven't been in a good 3 years at least. and i hate the glaucoma test too. now they have another test they can do instead of the 'air puff', which i prefer. on the old way i have to physically hold my eye open or it will close before the air hits. last night i started watching a show on bravo that was the top 100 tv characters. xena was #100. made me think of ya. :) and they showed lucy lawless now. she looks different but she's still sooo beautiful.

how cool is that about the doctor? i'm sorry you had a bad day though. bad days suck. this morning it was really foggy here too. it reminded me of silent hill and made it very hard to drive to work being as tired as i was. it felt like i was in a dream and my eyes responded by trying to close every 2 seconds. hope tomorrow is better for you! hugs!

yes, my weekend was great! i really enjoyed spending time with my family who i don't see nearly enough and we ALWAYS have a good time. lots of loud talking and laughter. but i got stressed again once the week started. :( i'm feeling okay now that i got some sleep last night. went to bed at 8:30, so not too bad. and i say just take your time off! you need replenishing too whether you are on salary or not. and yes, it's funny how life becomes so busy so quickly that we don't get to do the things we want to or see the people we love. i'm glad you had a nice visit though. hope you end up having a day off.... you deserve it!

egg salad... hmm.. i've been really wanting chicken salad, but haven't made it. i need some stuff from the store first. and you know, i agree with you on the confederate flag thing. no, that's not the main reason for the civil war. but many racist idiots have adopted the confederate flag based on that aspect of the war and when i see it, i definitely associate it with those dumbasses. the few always ruin things for the majority. i know i would NEVER allow it. even if i had to keep burning them myself. it's just not something i would want to be associated with. especially since i'm sooo not that way.

I've had different kinds of interactions with each of those people, from merely talking with them on the telephone to hanging out. Sometimes I wonder if I'll eventually get famous for something once I die, and what it would be. btw I think your relationship with the residents where you work is really touching and inspiring.

It was Kent "747"; swedish version. I love the song. Kent is one of the biggest bands here and they make moody, melancholy music. Suites me perfectly. ;) Maybe you're right. I should write down my thoughts no matter what, right. But I couldn't, for several reasons. One: I'd feel like an idiot if She read it. Two: it made no sense what I wrote. Thanks for the hug. You're the best. =)

just checking to see if you were online....

did you see all of the pictures? they're stored in the normal place, if you're interested. i couldn't post a whole lot since the kids had giant name tags on. we did have fun. but that seems like a long time ago. need to update more recent stuff. just didn't want my post to be a chapter. i know how you feel with the sensitivity and swings from being needy to being distant. i do that quite often. poor K.

Thank you for the note and WOOHOO!!! Do be careful with Limewire. my sweetie ended up with a fatal Trojan Horse (he had to completely rebuild his computer and he downloads stuff on a seperate hard drive!!)

If you have a seperate hard dive use that for Limewire downloads so you can be sure they are safe before you put them on your precious computer. with tons o' love, ophelia

awwww. thanks for noticing the absence. i was tired all week (like i mentioned a million times) and i started an update yesterday but things have been busy so i haven't finished. i'll try to update today. did you happen to take any pictures of you in your costume?
from hissandtell :
Oh, you crack me up. I'm still snorting over your two reasons for being annoyed by Sneery Girl. I want to see a picture of you in all your green witchy glory! Pleeeeeeease? Too pretty to be a witch, indeed! And I take your point about some of the Samhain decorations being a little morbid for a nursing home - so I guess that means no-one dressed up as the Grim Reaper, then? Lots of love, R xxx

i'm so glad you got to see the eclipse! i did not. but i truly didn't care. i'm still feeling tired and ick so last night after my workout, dinner, grocery shopping, and a visit from my neighbor, i was ready to pass out. and the nightmare before xmas! ohhh, i want to watch that. i saw it in the theater (long time ago) and that's it. i've also been wanting to see scream and rocky horror. sounds like a movie marathon for me this weekend! i hope anyway.

I really wanted to watch the eclipse tonight too but its also cloudy here :(

mmmm, brussel sprouts! i'm glad you have the day off tomorrow.. i'm so jealous! try to rest and rejuvenate!

*update* (okay, typing that made me feel like that guy one unsolved mysteries when they do an update on something previously unsolved but got new information for) i just talked to my neighbor and she said that van helsing was good. and that she would have liked it so much more if her hubby hadn't been trying to fondle her. so there ya go. watch it alone. :)
from thehour :
*giggle* yeah, we IM eachother every once in awhile. and we email eachother too. i have not seen van helsing. i want to, but i'm not sure i want to pay to see it since the reviews were bad. my neighbor actually rented it a few days ago and we were going to try to borrow it after they watched it and before it had to be turned in, but they didn't watch it right away. and i haven't talked to her to see if she liked it. so i dunno. nobody i know well has seen it, so i don't really know if it's good. if you do decide to rent it, let me know what you think. AMC is running monsterfest all week, but it's older movies.
from thehour :
your meals sound wonderful! and usually the feeling of ickiness at handling meat goes away a bit, i think. i remember when i was very young and first started cooking, i felt the same gross feelings. the smell, the feel, ewww. but i've gotten over it by now. i still try to handle the meat as little as possible because of germs, but i don't feel gross about it. and i know what you mean about the tv being distracting. i haven't done ANYTHING to day so far... AMC is having a monsterfest and it's sucked me in. how can anyone resist that?

Happy Sunday Morning, darling! I'm back home now and catching up on your entries that I missed. I had to tell you that I watched "The Hours" again last night, dreamed an Hours-related dream and woke up thinking obsessively about the film. (Apart from wondering what's going on with Meryl Streep's acting in it [she reminded me of her "She-Devil" character, for some reason] I think it's one of the most powerful films I've ever seen.) Fabulous stuff. More things - your coconut lip balm sounds divine, and the naughty little gaping vagina statue is my new hero. What a woman! And why not move to Australia with the delicious enchancea, should your esteemed leader be returned to his throne? We could all be, like, neighbours! Much love, R xxx
from thehour :
my, things have been busy there... any end in sight? i hope that was the worst of it and that things begin to look up from here. try to pamper yourself and rest this weekend... there will be other weekends to do the housework or shopping or whatever. i don't think i'll be able to do much this weekend. concert is tonight. still don't know if i'm going.
from devil-jay :
Hiiiiya! Back from insane evaluation at work?! I hope they don't do that to you, make you resign because they want someone to blame for something. // I'll see where this kitty stuff go. I bought her mice to play with and I'll try out the climb tree too. If she's still unhappy then maybe I'll go for a kitten. It's the first time I've thought of personality when it comes to a cat. All other times (three) I, or my mother, has chosen by looks and cuteness. Gargamel is different. He needed to be saved. It has to be a female though. // I felt goosebumps when Wills eyes turned fiery red in the end. At least she has a reason for turning evil and using dark magic. // I hope you'll have the weekend to yourself and not have to rush to work anytime soon.

from thehour :
yes, i put in the code and it worked perfectly. i didn't even have to do anything to it, so that was exciting. and i'm actually not reading the last unicorn... it's just on my list. i'm in between reads at the moment, so it's showing that book because it's the top one on my list (which is in random order). and to answer your question, i currently only have one tattoo on my right breast. i'd like to get another one on my back left shoulder. one day. i'm glad you had a good time at your parents' house. and lucky you on the cop thing! i would have been soooo nervous.

I've been having problems pursuing my spirituality and magic as thoroughly and vigorously as I'd like, due to my health problems, but there are little things you can do to help. I work heavily with the Fey--yes, ALL of them, not just the Seelie court--, and although I'm not the best artist in the world, I tend to find it soothing to incorporate them into my artwork. It really helps you grow in ways you may or may not immediately see. If you don't want to work with them--they can be a little difficult for sure--then do simple things incorporating your Goddess. And in all honesty, the simplest thing you can do is simply indulge in your sensuosity. That brings me closer to my Goddess than anything. Brightest blessings. ~*Cielly

What a wild chaos ritual; It's so dark, I'm a fluffy white rabbit by comparison! I don't think I'd have the courage to try it, either, especially since I don't support the "immanentization of the eschaton," to use their words.

from thehour :
i've been eyeing that pitch black for a couple of weeks now. i, too, wanted to see a black soda... although why i'm unsure since aren't cokes basically black? and the cans looked cute. yeah, i'm such a sucker for marketing. i'm glad to know it tastes like liquified ass, but will probably try it anyway if given the chance. because i'm smart like that. :) sorry about your bra. damn, and bras are expensive too! oh well, nothing you can do now. *giggle* the whole 'do not let this happen to you' reminded me of some commercial where a guy says that... maybe for some kind of mouthwash or gum or something? i dunno. but i heard his voice when reading that.
from thehour :
lol! i saw that picture at the bottom and instantly my eyebrow raised. heh. yeah, that's the porn goddess. isn't she pretty? so far the davinci code is good. captivating from the start. but i can't wait to get to the other one. i think since i saw the movie, i shouldn't have too much trouble remembering who's who. i hope. :)

oooh, you have the day off until tomorrow i hope! i'm jealous, but certainly not jealous of what you had to go through to get it. yuck! and after you were all clean and settled to relax too! :P although, it sounds like your view on the way home may have been worth it. it's funny, i was staring at the moon this morning on the way to drop my munchkin at daycare (as i tried to also focus on the traffic in front of me). it was still relatively dark and the moon glowed beautifully in the sky... it was still there, watching over me when i got to work and it was definitely daylight. a nice way to start the day. though i do wish our temperatures would begin to drop. *wistful*

I am way aware of myself and what I do that I can't relax. But mostly it's the thinking. To just sit, or lie down, and not think of anything - to disconnect completely - would be absolutely great. ...I think I need a proper vacation. Wanna come with me to Mauritius? It'll cost a fortune but I think it would be money well spent. =D Palm trees, endless beach and turquoise water... ahhhh. FYI, you shouldn't compare your so called crazyness to mine.

i'm glad you liked the pictures! but we probably won't go until next summer. it's just sooooo far. and i hate long drives. i would actually like to go during the winter when nobody's there and i can go to just enjoy the sounds and the sea air alone. maybe one day when i live closer.
from devil-jay :
*an hour and a search later* Tara shows up in season 4. I thought it was 3. So, I've seen a little of 2, whole 3, almost all of 4 and the five first of season 5. That's it.
from devil-jay :
We're currently on season 6. First episode was yesterday. I think I missed/ignored 4 & 5. Will and Tara got together in the end of 3, didn't they? It almost adds up. The season ended in late May, shortly after the Frankie-thing, and it took at least a month, maybe two, before the new season started. Each season has ... what, 20 episodes? That's two whole months for season 4 & 5. I need to find the uncencored version with subtitles, to a reasonable price. It's harder than I thought. =(
from devil-jay :
Offensive? Don't be silly. No it's... well, I feel a little awkward that I can spend money the way I do (not excessively but still) and there are those who struggle with rent every month. I fear the day I don't have the income I have right now and have to adjust to it. It's shit when the money is basically all gone at the end of the month and I have to take some from my savings. That's not what my savings are for. ...and you're 29. Got it. *scribble it down in her calendar* ...besides, I don't have any loans or a car that swallow my money. Not yet anyway.
from devil-jay :
Um... the only answer I have for "being a rich Swede" is: we have a different government than yours. Some things are really good but other stuff sucks. I'm not saying my family and I are rich. We just know how to save up. I am lucky to have a crappy job that pays well. Mum is boss over one of Hellholes office departments and has found a guy whom are a killer in the graphic world (or so I've been told). It's a ... he makes the graphics of postcards and stuff. It's a well paid business apparently. *shrugs* But I don't consider myself rich. I just invest differently than others. =D I don't drink, don't smoke, don't rent porn *giggles*. I have no one but myself, and my kittycat, to take care of.
from daisydee1 :
Wow, be careful in the woods. Too many wierdos nowadays.... I've read Shekinah's take on the Bright/Dark Maiden before, and loved it, especially since culturally I've been taught to Be Nice and Please Others. Being assertive and unapologetic while also trying to play Nice is a hard balance to find. I struggle constantly, and am currently of the opinion that I need to shake even more of my timidness than I have. Like you, I'm also Xena fan (and Buffy, and Alias), and one reason is because she's so Strong, on the inside too.
from devil-jay :
Okey so I got my iPod in christmas present. But I know what it cost. roughly $800! Besides, it's not a walkman. Have the right computer and you'll be able to have a PC version on iTunes; which is the music program for the iPod. Plug in the iPod to your computer and transfer the songs from your cds to iTunes to your iPod. I would gladely pay $250 or whatever to have a new one. That's nothing. So shut up. ;) But yeah, having a bunch of doggies (which cost) makes it difficult to get stuff like that. Also, I should point out that mum engraved it with my name and it cost a little over $100. So ... compare $700 with $250. =) Riiight. It's your birthday soon. 30-something?! 31?! 32?! Don't remember if you told me. Shame on me.
from cielamara :
Wow, that dark maiden essay was interesting. I never thought about Dark as being the "weak" force, because I see The Morrigan as Dark, and anyone who calls HER weak...well. Let's just say she'd greatly enjoy proving them wrong. I myself have always seen my energies as being pretty dark...and it's interesting, because I've had a lot of people accuse me of being passive-aggressive. Veeeeery interesting...thanks for the food for thought! ~*Cielamara
from devil-jay :
Good. Wouldn't want you to mysteriously disappear. As for the game... at least now I don't have to worry about what happened in the end. I can finish the remaining "sidequests" in my own time. I saw the commercial for Sims2 and ... I'm not a Sims fan but it looked amusing with the cop chasing the burgelar and all. I liked the dominatrix too. =) Last but not least: Get The iPod!! The new ones might have room for a thousand cds. Mine is two years old and has "only" room for roughly 100 cds. It's great. There's the little calendar (which I never use), a clock, the equalizer and a bunch of other stuff I haven't bothered to check out. ...and dad never showed up last night either... *tired look* I'm not surprised. Take care.
from enchancea :
Thank you, Im very excited but it feels like Ill never get moved all the way. Its taking forever to move all this junk.
from thehour :
goodness, i'm so glad you made it back ok. i think you did the exact right thing to just kinda keep your cool and keep going. if you would have shown fear, he may have acted on it. how awful! and you're right, how dare that asshole ruin YOUR space? i do think devil jay is right though, mace might be an excellent idea. just in case. big hugs! i'm so glad you're okay!
from devil-jay :
JEESUS! Are you okey? *checks D's face from all angles; checks fingers and back* I'd be worried sick if you just disappeared without a word one day. A few years ago I decided to put instructions on a note telling whoever reads it to leave a message in here (D.J) and at AndroGirl so my friends will know. I haven't done it yet but I will. Ugh... I got flashbacks to "Monster". Could you please carry mace or even a knife next time, just in case?! *hugs you very tight*
from devil-jay :
...and the lightening episode you had really gave a funny image in my mind. I bet it wasn't that fun when it happened. Very comical though. ;)
from devil-jay :
Yeah well, sad to say, I'm used to it. I've known him for 20 years (if you don't count the first 6 when I was a brainless child *arched eyebrow*) so I know how he works. But hopefully he will show up tomorrow. Until then my stuff will stay where they are. Thanks for the hug. Always makes me smile. =) <- see. ;)
from thehour :
i hope you enjoy your walks. the fall air is wonderful! wish it would migrate south... but not 'till we get back. :)
from thehour :
you got it for $7.99?!?!?! where? ebay? i want to say it's like $20 on amazon! too much.
from thehour :
and did you know that mists is apparently the 6th in a series of books? according to something i saw on amazon anyway.... now i'm going to have to check into reading them all! must research a bit more...
from thehour :
so good to have you back! i'm glad you had fun, but not too much fun so that you would return to us. ;) i'm sure boy kitty was ecstatic at your return. bet HE'D never accuse you of giving him the 'worst life'. humph. :)
from daisydee1 :
I noticed your diary is locked. I hope all is well! Yes I have an online site for my soaps and am trying to develop that, but I guess it's just one step at a time, you know. Well, take care...Daisy
from devil-jay :
...and you locked your diary because you were leaving?! And what's this leaving anyway?! How dare ye? ;) // A jay-ism?! I like the name of it. =) // I have no idea what advice the dick was looking for. He said he wanted to talk to bi girls - probably to get info on how to go about threesomes. *rolls eyes in disgust* I really don't know. But yeah, I got him out of there. I will definitely do it again if someone else tries the same thing. Mmmm. So I guess I have to wish you a happy time with whatever it is your going to do the next couple of days. I'll miss you. =)
from devil-jay :
Ahhh... am I influencing you? "Laundry From Hell". ;)
from thehour :
i'm glad you had fun today. i can't imagine not going to a county fair before. we have one every year... in a couple of weeks in fact. and i'm glad you enjoyed your first fair experience. you'll certainly be missed while you are away. enjoy your time away from the house and being alone!
from devil-jay :
=) It happens to everyone. I'm in love with the song "Let Go". It's, for me, so ... intense. So ... rich. Like some musicians fill every little space in the song with the right sounds. There's this "bass" sound, electronic of course, which I just LOVE. I love "dark" (or is it called low?) sounds. Not so much hich-pitched music. I'm going to add "let go" to my Night Singles list. The song "Shh" is really good too.
from devil-jay :
The name's Frou Frou (like it said after "Music:" ;)I thought she, Imogen the singer, sounded like Sinead, but then I was wearing earplugs and the music was a bit drowned by work machines, so I might be way off track. Look them up. Especially "Let Go"!!
from enchancea :
because the girls have their own cage and the boys have their own cage. And as for that book, I was mistaken. I got a different book with a similiar title.
from daisydee1 :
How lovely that the air is cool out there now that September has arrived. Here, we're moving into our hottest month. You're lucky to have 4 seasons. I wishe we did. Enjoy! :-)
from devil-jay :
Those are some massive muscles. Mine are far from that. I told mum I want one of those punchbags for christmas. They can all be in on it. I'm not much for getting loads of prezzies. Makes me feel spoiled if I do. Did you take the pics of Lori?
from devil-jay :
Hehe...I'm still amused over what you have written about me in your profile; and how many times I'm in there. ;) // Yeah, the computer is really nice. But I can't do much of what I have planned as long as it lacks internet. When it has ... woooo. =D
from hissandtell :
You know, I don't think I tell you nearly enough how much I love you, darling! Your entries always facinate me, and I'm constantly reminded(all over again) of your intelligence, insight, sensitivity and creativity. (Oh, and I have a similar dirty little secret with lipbalm and lipsticks generally...) Love, R xxx
from thehour :
eewwww! pulp! ;) with that out of the way, there was a follow up article posted yesterday (?) stating that the police came to the conclusion that wicca was not to blame for the suicides. apparently a bunch of pissed off wiccans jumped on their email and told them off. yay for thorough police investigations! *rolls eyes* and i'm glad you liked the song. it's one of my favorite cure songs. i'll try to send you a smiths song later to see how you like it. have a good day!
from devil-jay :
Wow. This is my first note to you (an not a reply) in ages. How are things? My internet is partially back. How's the mother-visit going? Any proper me-time for you?
from daisydee1 :
I wasn't planning on returning to the class, but when I did my solitary ritual, I was guided that I should return. Might as well. Only one class left anyway. But it *is* crazy to me that I've discovered all of these new magickal shops, and that they're all so different!// Too bad Tom was being grouchy yesterday, but it's good that you had a nice time despite that! Have a beautiful morning! :)
from thehour :
"It flew by and just felt kind of off balance somehow, but more like I was the fine one and everybody else in this world is a moron." funny, i feel like that EVERYday! :D and tom's behavior? completely out of line and ridiculous. if he's going to act like he can't do anything on his own, let his mom take care of him! and i can't believe he acted that way in front of her without her SAYING anything! K's mom would have jumped his ass! but at least you got to get away alone. sometimes it's worth it just for that. hope tomorrow is better. hugs!
from thehour :
wow, sounds horrible. you poor dear, i'll hope for a speedy return to normal. ;)
from devil-jay :
=) ...well, I needed a change. Besides, it's better than vague entries. ;)
from thehour :
i'm so glad you liked it! at first the dancing made me giggle. cause that's always funny to see it move... anyway... but yeah, when the singing started i couldn't stop laughing! yay for goofy commercials!
from thehour :
i swear, you're just like me. i would have been waiting to see something like that in the flash of light too. and the alarm clock used to make me crazy when it would do that also. i would just throw a shirt over it. :) oh... and where the heck was tom? you needed to cash in on his man card and make HIM go close the window and cuddle to make you feel safe! btw, if you haven't seen the video i posted on my blog yet, you HAVE to see it. it should lift your spirits. i thought it was hilarious! but then, i have a weird sense of humor. ;)
from thehour :
the sky sounds gorgeous. i wish i could have seen it too. and there's nothing wrong with being a fickle fairy. :)
from devil-jay :
...if I can find said tie first. Better visit the mens department then. ;)
from littlespice :
I'm quite jealous.I wish I could feel that in touch with my body. I was on the pill for years and I don't think it helped my disconnected feelings. I havent been here for ages due to illness grabbing hold of my ankles, so I've a bit of catching up to do with your diary. Hope you're ok at the moment. xx
from devil-jay :
I searched most of the internet to find the Bunny Anya picture. It was quite difficult, and yet it's not the image I looked for. There is one from the intro to the show where she looks more ... confused/annoyed. That's the one I was looking for but only found the one I have and another, not so good, one. =( // Yeah...warm autumn evenings inside on a blanket, with the owner tickling my tummy while I try to chase my tail. I hope I've been good enough to become a kitten in my next life. =)
from devil-jay :
Rennovation?? Mwwaaha. Suppose it is. =) I'll take pics. Promise.
from devil-jay :
Taking compliments from friends shouldn't be a problem for you. I mean, you should, like everyone else with their friends, be able to tell from what they say (or write) that they really mean it and just don't say something because it's some kind of obligation. I on the other hand have serious problems with this, with all the bullying etc from my childhood. Anyway. I think the mood absorbation is quite common. Or?! Take care and enjoy the day. =) Pet all the animals for me.
from devil-jay :
Wooow. Maggie is HUGE. Where's that intelligent looking puppy with the fuzzy fur?!
from hissandtell :
Awww, what little cuties with their hula hoop. How gorgeous. Love, R xxx
from daisydee1 :
Your oldest sister is beautiful. Your other sister is smart. You are deeply, magically spiritual. That's something to be very proud of.
from thehour :
you're definitely far from mediocre. it's too bad that families have to label eachother... the pretty one, the smart one, the fat one, the lazy one, the determined one, etc. but you should never feel that just because your sisters may be intelligent and beautiful that you aren't. sure, your chemist sister is highly intelligent and has a job that is mind boggling to others. but you are intelligent too.. and probably smart in ways that she isn't. your spirituality and sensuousness may be something that SHE has a hard time understanding. you are content to do the things you enjoy. whether they are mundane or ambitious to others is not your problem. what matters is that you are happy. if you are happy doing what you do, then who cares what others think? your mom shouldn't compare you to your sisters or even to herself. you are your own person. what your mom may see as homey, i see as sensuous, flowy, giving, in tune with her spirit and nature, almost ethereal. how can that possibly be a bad thing?
from devil-jay :
Mediocre my arse!!
from devil-jay :
It's nice when people appriciate your work and effort. Too bad no one says that to me. =(
from thehour :
the circle of women chant, is that the one that goes 'earth my body, water my blood...'? i've had that stuck in my head for weeks! that's my favorite.
from thehour :
i'm so glad you're back! you were missed!
from devil-jay :
YAAAAY. She's back. I hope the week passed slowly for you. It's such a drag when the free time swoosh by. and yes, pride was very nice. A whole different world compared to what I live everyday. All the feelings have left me completely numb today. It's ... like jetlag or... recovering from a hangover, or something. Really wierd stuff. Yes, do tell me the stories!! =) *hugs back*
from devil-jay :
In case I forget to wish you a very nice holiday tomorrow I'll do it now instead. Have a very, very nice week. Don't stay in the sun too long without protection. Wouldn't want you to look like I do right now. Knees, shoulders, upper arms, lower back and shoulderblades are super red! *licks finger and puts it on her knee* psssshhhhhhh....ouch.
from daisydee1 :
Thanks for the supportive note! I'm just a sugar addict and although I'm pretty average on the outside, I know I eat way too much cakes and fat. I need a workout regimen. But enough about me. Have a great time on vacation!
from fiongalla :
The 'experts' are right about using crates for puppy training. Give her a chew toy when you put her in so it doesn't seem so much like punishment and she'll learn to adapt quickly enough. My dog puts himself away in his crate when he needs a nap or time out.
from devil-jay :
Noooooo. not a whole week. *grabs D's ankles to stop her* =( I'll miss you.
from insignif-me :
Hello right back atcha ;)
from thehour :
well, it's good that you got most of your work done. that's usually the worst part about going on vacation... preparing the work before you leave and the catch up when you get back. and how wonderful about the books! and which book club would this be? :)
from devil-jay :
*checks watch. looks around a bit* Hmmm. *watches the evening sun set* Where is she? A break perhaps. Mmmm... *shoves hands in pockets and slowly walks away on the dusty road*
from thehour :
not surprisingly, i get the exact same thing and i think the exact same thing about the way they taste with no sauce. (sweet and sour only, although occasionally i'll dip my french fries in the bbq sauce)
from devil-jay :
Yeah?! What about being called "Sir" then? *laughs* I was once referred to as Sir at Heathrow Airport all the way to a clothes shop in central London! I ignored it because I ... it was kinda fun. =)
from cdghost :
i enjoyed your diary much so
from thehour :
that sounds like so much fun! i don't suppose you'd feel like posting a picture of yourself in your exotic dancing outfit?
from thehour :
and why wouldn't they respect you? you're awesome chica!
from hissandtell :
Oh, I LOVE the painting! And I just had to share how excited I am about the Blue Moon on Saturday, too. It's going to be a marvellous night for a moondance. Love, R xxx
from enchancea :
Good to hear its not a how to book, thats the last thing I want. Ive been staying away from those books.
from occoquan1 :
Hey there! Nice to hear from you. I've been a little bit behind on my diary entries, but at least the few that I've left pretty much cover everything. :-) I am so happy to sponsor WitchVox...they've been my life-saving resource time and again, that I couldn't imagine the community without them. Hope things are well with you. Blessings...Salem

What a sexy picture of the woman and the moon, darling. That's how I feel tonight. ~*Cielamara

from absinthesigh :
Mmmmwah! backatcha 8-). wild smooches, ophelia
from insignif-me :
I have read 'A Gracious Plenty'. I had actually forgotten about that book until you mentioned. It belongs in my favs. It was excellent. I also looked up the other book you mentioned which is her first novel. I'll have to get myself to bookstore soon. I'm in need of some new reading material. Thanx!
from enchancea :
I just ordered the circle within, how is it?
from insignif-me :
Thanx for stopping by and adding me to your favs.... I also lent out my copy of The Rapture Of Canaan. To my boss actually almost a year ago now and haven't gotten it back yet. I guess she really likes it too? ;)
from absinthesigh :
Thank you for sharing the pictures of you babies 8-). They are so adorable. I love them from afar 8-). with love, ophelia
from thehour :
you know, i can't even describe the smell... i mean, it HAS to come from a combination of the meats (obviously) but doesn't smell the same as if i were to grab a raw roast and smell it. does that make sense? i dunno.. it's very distinctive.
from devil-jay :
She's HUGE! Maggie. It wasn't that long ago I saw a cute little intellectual puppy staring at me from your diary. Now she's turning into a real dog. Wow. The little one, Abby, is cute too.
from thehour :
oooh... so THAT's what i've been doing wrong! i've been getting up and going to work like a dumb ass! i need to quit my job and do money spells! that'll improve things! *rolls eyes* and one last thing... does that mean that you'll let the big chain stores bend you over WITH vaseline??? ;)
from godmoney :
i much like ur diary! i had 2 read when i spotted JCO on ur profile. and shirley jackson's great 2. she wrote a non-fic book on the salem witch trials, u kno.

"...and it would always have an adult toy surprise". What? Like a blue dildo that tastes like blackberries?! Mwwwaaahahahaha. *ahem*
from thehour :
what a cutie! sooo tiny! and don't listen to anybody.. blue food is awesome! and you can maybe add some marshmallow stars and moons? maybe zodiac signs? to appease ... ummm.. the children.. yeah, that's it. :S
from hissandtell :
Cerulean Crunch, hey? I'm not sure I could stomach blue food first thing in the morning, but I'd definitely buy it just for the adult toy surprise. And your new little one is a complete doll! Love you, R xxx
from austinliz :
Hey! Thanks for stopping by, and yay with the obsessions!
from devil-jay :
...oh but this is so cool. There's a message area (at GJ) that seems to work just like emails. So skip Notes and GB entries. Man I'm sold. *smacks forehead*. All I need now is to make friends.
from p-o-y :
Welcome to Pieces of You!
from devil-jay :
Hiya...do you still have the GJ journal? Just curious. I might swap LJ for GJ. I'm not sure yet. Until I am I'm going to double post in both of them. I mean ... an icon-whore like me can't resist the 1000 icons offer. It's the same name as LJ, but you don't need to read both (since I double post). Yes, I love making it hard for you to keep up with me. ;) Did you notice, TheHour got "pissed" because I mentioned GJ. Haha. Funny. =) // This little boy is going to be a real cutie. Thai dad and Philippine mum. Great combo! Roughly 1 month old she told me. Exciting!
from absinthesigh :
oh my!! I am *so* afraid of pressure cookers! You described it so perfectly! I won't even have one in the house %-(. My brother used to use one and I would sit outside... eek! It's like a primal fear! with love, ophelia
from daisydee1 :
Ballet is my little slice of heaven 3x a week, but I'm still waiting for the body breakthrough that goes with being dedicated. Maybe next month when I start ballet 3? ...but I hope you don't leave diaryland! I love your beautiful journal, and I just can't imagine the GJ layout doing it justice.
from absinthesigh :
I do believe the character you referred to in BTVS was played by the wonderful Joel Gray. He was also in Cabaret... he does corrupt really well. I read an interview with him right after Cabaret and he said he wanted his character to represent the embodiment/manifestation of all human vices. I just love him 8-). with love, ophelia
from devil-jay :
Ummm... just a little surprise that's all. ;D // Doesn't GJ have a "manage entries" button somewhere like LJ does? On LJ it's located under a little bar at the top...kinda. It says different stuff and "manage" is one. From there I can pick entries, photos, friends etc. You should be able to do something similar - given that it's the same as LJ.
from thehour :
i looked a little at that site and saw a few journals that were pretty personalized. maybe the templates are out there and you just haven't found them yet? and you will let us know if you decide to bail, right? just wondering. sniff. :(
from devil-jay :
From what I have seen this GJ is a newer (??) version of LJ. It's built the same way, uses the same system for layout change etc. It (at least LJ) is different from dland. It's not chat friendly as the notes and GBs in here. It's also (as far as I know) search friendly. So anything you write can be searched and wouldn't have any idea of who's on. *eyes glowing and devilish amused smile* You'll be here in October right? I just got an idea. *evil grin* Don't worry. It's nothing mean or evil I'm up to. On the contrary. ;)
from enchancea :
Congrats on your new puppy!
from daisydee1 :
You're right. Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman was the best. And your pictures are great! Really warm, like I could reach in and enjoy the sunshine-y moment.
from devil-jay :
Awww. Your furry family are so cute. And it was nice to see a little more of the area where you live. I took pics of my kitty cat yesterday. We were resting in the sofa while watching NCIS and she had her head proped up on my left arm. I'm not sure the pics are any good. I had to aim without looking. I'll share when I have developed the film ... given that the pics are good enough though.
from enchancea :
I love your yard, it seems to peaceful and private and yet huge. And your dog and kitty are cute as can be
from hissandtell :
How completely blissful, darling. The photographs are stunning - both garden and furry babies. Thank you so much for sharing. You have such a divine spot to practise your magic! Love, R xxx
from devil-jay :
I'm just a little bit worried and a little bit down, but I'm otherwise fine. Promise.
from enchancea :
Those sound like amazing things to do. Especially the star party
from devil-jay :
Yup, Michelle as Catwoman is fab. "Honey I'm hooome. Oh...I forgot...I'm not married." =) // Your sentence of Purple kinda got to me. Not only does certain aspects of my life feel like this, it's also Frankie's fave colour. ...I wonder where she is...
from thehour :
i agree with you. michelle pfeiffer personifies catwoman for me. i think it's the eyes to be honest. she's got some killer eyes. well.. she's so beautiful anyway. cat porn! ok... sorry. still feeding off my earlier food porn moment. :)
from absinthesigh :
For me, Catwoman will *always* be Eartha Kitt 8-). Purrrrrfectly delicious Batman!!! ! with love, ophelia
from thehour :
your garden sounds fabulous! be sure to thank your plant devas! :)
from enchancea :
well at least you dont get googled for "naked boobs" and "hillary duff naked" lol I get at least 2 of those a day
from thehour :
well, at least it is over with. my work sucks too... so i know how you feel. but now you get to relax and give them the mental finger.
from hissandtell :
Yep, living well is the best revenge. Putting your feet up and sipping Bailey's sounds pretty darned "suck my tit"-ish to me. A pox on the survey from hell. And blessed you - dead offerings from a garden kitty! How exciting to be The Chosen One. (Do take a look at niceguymike's most recent entries, if you're so inclined, darling - he's recently adopted a wild little kitty who's managing to disrupt his happy household. I think you might be able to empathise.) Love, R xxx
from thehour :
i hope today is better!
from devil-jay :
;) Okey, so how big is Mr Trans Cat? If he's as big as Boy Kitty it has to be a male. They tend to be quite big.
from devil-jay :
I was thinking of the cat in your garden. Usually there are two tiny balls under the butt if it's a male. ;) You can't miss them.
from cielamara :
You know, you're right about those online communities. There are some really and truly wonderful people (My sometime-teacher, unorthodox though he is, is one of those), but for every good person, there's someone who wants to cram a tradition down your throat. Even in the Pagan community, people are governed by fear--those people with any degree of real and unharnessed talent are to be roped in and squashed, it would seem. I just wanted to let you know that I've learned a number of lessons from you, just by reading your diary--you've subtly helped me embrace myself. Thanks. ~*Cielamara

Bullfighting needs to be wiped out. I can understand people hunting for food, but the suffering of anything - person or animal shouldn't be entertainment.I'm surprised you got any on the quiz. well done. It's a way to pass a little time when bordeom strikes.
from hissandtell :
You make me laugh, darling. Why do dogs eat vomit? I imagine them thinking, "Mmmm...smells just like stomach lining...oh yeah! YUMMY!" and doing happy little air-punches as they wolf it down. In other news, our princess rolled around on a rotting bird corpse yesterday. It must have gone beautifully with the duck-poop she usually likes to roll in and/or eat. And the calf-poop. And the compost heap. And the contents of the rubbish bin. Next, she'll probably be drinking out of the toilet...Love, R xxx
from devil-jay :
Didn't you say Angelina plays a ... what did you say? a very boyish chick in Foxfire. Can you give some kind of short description (of both of them) so I have something to remember them by. =) That'd be great. Hehe...I wrote in the lesbian community and whooop...got replies in an instant. That's so cool. =D

it's not a dumb idea. probably more insightful than anything. i may do that. although they would have to pay me pretty well to drive that far. it's like 50 miles. :( and i'm sure i'll be bitching when i finally read that email. i know alot about it, and it is all total bullshit. anyway... thanks for the advice! i may look into updating my resume. :)
from littlespice :
Thanks for your message. I was mesmerized by that layout and needed to have it. I don't think there are many feelings better than lying back in candlelight with a glass of wine and some sounds to move you. It satisfies the part of me that always needs to escape.
from enchancea :
What a beautiful image. I love enya. And Loreena Mckennitt, both are very relaxing and spiritual
from devil-jay :
No you shouldn't worry. Not unless I release all hell in here. I wouldn't do something like that unless I have a reason to and I don't. Mearly speculations, that's all. Why would you be pissed? Dare I ask?!
from thehour :
didja send me something? didja send me something? huh? didja, didja???? :) i DO check it, but i checked it on friday morning instead of saturday night or sunday morning this last week. and i usually only check it once a week... but i'll go tomorrow! whee!!!!
from devil-jay :
I kept thinking of my Commandments when I wrote it. Writing because I "was told" goes against them and I wanted people to know I still stick to them. But it was pretty fun. I thought I had been gone longer and no one has said a thing, so I was pretty surprised when you asked for my whereabouts. =) Besides, I know when dland has it's downtime, and I happen to be here when that occurs. It's the same time as I feel ready to type. Sucks doesn't it. I'll email tomorrow, after work. My sneezing and mad coughing has stopped. Yay! Back to Hellhole and Bitch Boss. *sigh*
from devil-jay :
I wasn't mad. I thought your note was funny. I'm sorry if that didn't show in my reply note. Sometimes it makes all sense in my head, but not to anyone else; and especially not in written words. I'm sorry. *kneels and worships your feet* I'm a worthless maggot.
from littlespice :
I understand the imbalance. I think it comes from being unable to absorb the same amount of fervour that you give out.
from devil-jay :
2 days?! Are you sniffin' somthin'? I wrote July 2nd at 9 in the morning. Technically it's been less than 36 hours (it's 19:14 right now - for me anyway). Don't tell me you're suffering from Devil-Jay-withdrawal. *leans back and laughs*
from cielamara :
Hey babe. I just wanted to say hello, to wish you a merry Esbat, and to say...CHEERS! For any number of things! ~*Cielamara
from thehour :
thanks for that email yesterday, it was cute! and so true. i'm glad your visit with J made you feel better for awhile. and i hope that you are able to come out of it soon. i hate feeling that way too.
from devil-jay :
You're the second one who says that. ...and it's like ... the fifth time I'm reminded. I shall put a note as big as my door on ... well, my door. ;)
from thehour :
i totally agree with you... buying things that i want and usually won't get for myself always makes me feel better. so good for you for buying some stuff you've wanted! hell, you waited years for the tori single... if that's not restraint, i don't know what is! let me know how that book is, will ya?
from devil-jay :
Hehe...well, I haven't recieved any of them yet. But I'll take them out of the carton and line them up on my bookshelf. ...away from Kimsy! She loves little things, though I think these are too big for her. But before I do that I'll probably take pictures and notes so I can remember which car is wich. ;) I tried to find Micro Machines but all I find is Star Wars toys. I love those tiny cars. I have 6 only. They were quite expensive. I don't think they are sold over here anymore. =(
from devil-jay :
It's acctually Britney Spears. I don't like her but I do love this song - except the last 10 seconds of the ending. It bugs me a lot!
from elliemay23 :
Hey there. Thanks for stopping by and leaving me a note. I love notes. Have a lovely day and I will have to check out your diary. xoxo, Ellie
from enchancea :
sounds like a nice relaxing day
from sugarbabylon :
you like my diary AND the thrill kill kult? you are cool, man <333.
from devil-jay :
Hiya. 1:58 at night and I'm still up, fighting like mad to stay awake. I'm chasing hot wheels on ebay. I have found a store that has three of the cars I have fallen for. They're old cars; the model I mean. One '64 Chevy Impala, turquoise; one '65 Pontiac Bonneville, seablue; and a '70 Chevy Chevelle SS Turbo Taxi, blue metallic. Anyway, I bet it's SOOO interesting to you. ;) My Night Singles list is quite short. I'll email the list to you. Tomorrow. ...and if I try to hug you I'm probably going to slide down and fall asleep around your feet. That's not a good idea. Nighty night!
from fiongalla :
I'm not sure from the photo (it's hard to see the leaves) but the mystery flowers look like what I know as ladybells (Adenophora confusa). If that's what they are, then they're a wonderful perennial.
from thehour :
the lilies are gorgeous!
from devil-jay :
=) I feel warm an fuzzy. I like being liked. =D // You've been here for me quite a lot and now it's time for me to give some of that back; which is a pure pleasure! Have a nice evening later. Are you going to do something special? Witchy stuff?! Do you celebrate Midsummer over there? Cuddle the little one (the puppy I forgot the name of *smacks head really hard*) for me. She's so cute!
from devil-jay :
You do? Has anyone said anything they shouldn't have? Shall I kick their virtual arse? Yeah you can use mine. Raen did the same thing. You know, her last entry made me think and I have a feeling I know who one of the numbers are...and now you ask to use my Commandments... It could be a coinsidence but...Okey, I just read your entry and I have a feeling Raen is angry with you. I am not going to butt in at all. But I have to say I disagree with some things she says. And to you, dear. It's a DIARY! You may put whatever you want in there. Don't feel like it HAS to be traditional writing. What's traditional writing anyway? *thinks a bit* Traditional diary writings are what is personal, what the writer feels; experiences. I say you fall into that just fine. I'm not Wiccan or has any connection to the spiritual and nature stuff like you do but I do enjoy reading about it. You enjoy things I don't feel I have the time or patience to enjoy. I like that. Have a nice day today! *massive hugs*
from devil-jay :
Hehehe...I had no idea they (the commandments) would be popular. Well...by popular I mean 2 people, so far (haven't checked the GB yet). You and Raen like them. =) Cool!
from devil-jay :
You have to see "Pirates...". Johnny Depp is magnificent. All his handmovements, bodylanguage...facial expressions and the things he say... WOW! And "Nemo" is quite fun too. Espescially when Ellen shows up. And the whale talk....*tries not to scream of laughter*. I saw "Nemo" yesterday too and I couldn't stop laughing when Ellen talks whale. Maybe you won't think it's amusing at all or maybe I'm completely nuts but it's hilarious. =) // I'm starting work today too. 10 days of freedom is over. =( *hugs, hugs and more hugs*
from avantbedroc :
this interest in your garden; if u need any help im your gal.
from absinthesigh :
Thank you for your sweet note! This is the first time I have seen your new template. I *love* it!!!! with love, ophelia
from devil-jay :
During a short moment I thought of taking the quiz too but I don't want to think of what others think of me. It would only reflect my thoughts of what they think, and I don't have any high thoughts of myself.
from devil-jay :
"Diaryland people: A spiritual whiner with hidden anger/control issues" I don't believe you whine any more than anyone else do! We all have our moments. Besides, it's a diary. You know what that means. =) Those who can't cope should leave, right. =) Hugs in masses.
from thehour :
so was today better?
from thehour :
so far i've been contacting antique dealers. but i don't know. they are both worth quite a bit, so i don't know that i'll be able to get anything even close if i don't find someone that specializes in that sort of thing. and last night i did take care of me. went to bed at 7:30. didn't actually go to sleep until 8:30, but that's still alot earlier than usual. and today i feel better. :) now if i could just get to work on that meditation, etc... and i'm so sorry to hear about your day yesterday. heartbreaking. you're so strong for being able to deal with that kind of stuff. i hope today is better.
from devil-jay :
The dog smacking really is a tough one. But as long as the pet in question doesn't get hurt I think it's okey. I used to smack my cat on her thigh when she did something she shouldn't. Now I only need to use my voice. But I know the feeling of anger. I've felt that a lot too. So you're not alone with that one.
from thehour :
while it was brave of that woman to come up and say something, it really wasn't any of her business. people are the same way with children. it drives me up the wall. i mean, i could understand if he was being cruel, but otherwise... if it's not your pet/child, butt out.
from devil-jay :
Yeah...the moment was nice - until I fully understood who it was. *arched eyebrow* LJ is ... I've only been there since yesterday. Some things are so much better than Dland. If you create a journal with a name you don't like you can actually delete it. That way it doesn't clog up the system as it does here. There are pros an cons about it. The biggest problem for me is that my browser doesn't show the page as it should be. So I can't see all of the text in the members area; which makes a tad bit harder. =) Um...you have the username in your profile. ;)
from occoquan1 :
Lemme tell you...Madonna was superb! I mean, really, probably the best concert I have ever been to, and I've been to lots of concerts! It was a little bit of everything thrown into one big pot...antiwar protest, rock concert, circus, fashion show, dance review...all set to thrilling interpretation of her hits past and present. I recommend getting a ticket if you can find one. BB, Salem...
from thehour :
heh.. good luck at the wedding. ;) i feel for ya, but i just can't stop smiling either. maybe you'll come down with a mysterious 12 hour bug? i think the 'whatthefuckyouthinkinbyinvitinmetothisbackwoodsbullshit' bug is reported to be in your area right now. WTFYTBIMTTBB for short. maybe you've heard of it?? nothing you can do to protect yourself really... and by the way, the how to make you thing... it fits ya to a T. :)
from thehour :
i absolutely LOVE a wrinkle in time. it has to be one of my all time favorites. i read it for the first time in 2nd grade (borrowed and never returned it to my cousin. i actually have TWO copies now), then we read it for a class in school in the 4th.. and i've loved reading it over and over. then a couple of years ago i found out it's part of a SERIES. yes... a series. so it doesn't have to end so soon. i have the series, but haven't actually read the other books yet. and yes, i too edit my quiz results. the typos! they bug me to no end!
from daisydee1 :
I've heard of Dion Fortune but never read her. I'll have to add her to my reading list! Btw, I understand your Buffy angst. I'd love the full set (that, and Alias), but I just can't afford it. My mother refused to indulge me last x-mas("WHAT? BUFFY Dvds? I'm not buying something that silly for my daughter!). I try to tell her BtVS is storytelling at it's finest but she's never seen it. ;-)
from accentjunkie :
Aw shucks! Thanks!!! And I second your favorite movie selections. Good taste!!
from thehour :
well... i am exhausted and even though i've been working hard for the last 12 hours and i just got home and showered... it's after midnight, i have to be at work in less than 8 hours and i STILL came to see if you updated. talk about ocd. ;)
from raen :
Yeah, you can go ahead and take ablacksun off your list. I use it so rarely. No problem.
from thehour :
ooooh... that doesn't count! like you said... just join in! :)
from thehour :
omg, who caught you using a toy??? i'd die!
from thehour :
okay, i'm sorry if i typed it wrong. supposed to be <a href=..." and the rings thing. no idea. sorry. oh.. and darn you and your drumsticks! when they didn't have them at wallyworld i just HAD to go get them at the grocery store because you made me want one! grrr... :)
from devil-jay :
Nah I just added to it. I like the thought. But if you want to be sarcastic, God, as a man, must be gay since he made so many ARSEHOLES. ;D I like your theory better!! Why would I have power over you? Have I told you my name? Um...you have a friend with the same name - but don't mention it in notes to me or anything. I don't like it to be known in here. Shhyy. *wicked smile*
from devil-jay :
...your name is Kerry? Or is it a nickname? Oh how wierd. Now I understand what people are talking about when they have an idea/image of someone and the reality doesn't support the idea/image. You'll always be Datura to me. =) I do like it though. It somehow fits you. =) So you have named the puppy. I like the name, Maggie Mae. Cute. She IS cute. Makes me want one too... But a dog needs more than I can give.
from devil-jay :
Remote Linking is if ... you know dland rings. You can put an image instead if that lame "banner" thing in the ring. Dland doesn't support images to show up in other peoples diaries like that. I've tried. It's remote linking ... apparently. What's wierd though is that two people have a layout I have made with images linking from *my* dland image account. It shouldn't work but it does. I'll check the link. Thank you! =)
from occoquan1 :
Loved seeing the new puppy! Adorable! Aren't fireflies enchanting? I just get a big happy when the start coming out. We started getting them here in the DC area about two weeks ago, but I haven't been seeing them in the numbers I did when I was a kid.
from occoquan1 :
Glad you enjoyed the mug shot. :-) I think it's the best picture that's ever been taken of me. :-) Peace, Salem
from devil-jay :
...have you noticed if your buddy list lights up everytime you reload the members pages? Mine does all the time but no one has updated. Hmph! Anyway...where do you keep your images? Do you know if they have remote linking? Bravenet does - if I pay like $100 a year! $9 a month!!! No f***ing way I'll do that! ...a $100 for pro-status AND $66 for remote linking. It's INSANE!
from devil-jay :
I really don't know. I've been wondering the same. That's why I let Yulia stay at P-Brain. ;) But then again...she's cute. =D If you ask Andrew now you might get an answer by next year. ;)
from devil-jay :
"My favourit andro-girl..."?? *laughs* Thank you. =) Didn't know "I" was capable of moving up to 2nd place from god-knows-where-I-was. ;)
from thehour :
hey there! things are going. unfortunately the heavens decided it would be a fabulous week to open up and grace us with some new lakes and rivers. it has rained nonstop since late friday night. so no more moving for us! just unpacking what we have.... fun. and i get to work saturday! yay! *rolls eyes*
from devil-jay :
Hiya! I noticed your note a few seconds ago (040608 - 16:03). Dland didn't send me a message! I'm pretty pissed about how dland is acting lately. I'm... things goes up and down at the moment. One minute I can't stand the void a certain someone left and the next I want to just say "fuckit" and let go completely. But I think it's because I'm having a really bad day today. I've had lots of bad days the last three weeks. I'm trying to find some kind of amusement to cheer me up but it's hard. To bad to hear about ... Tom, right?! Sometimes things just escape my mind and I can't remember little things. But promise me you'll never change because someone else wants you to. I don't think you would, but still... =) *hugshugshugs*
from starlit-lily :
Hi, darling. Cielly is back online now, and happy to be thus. I missed you too! Bright blessings! ~*Cielamara
from daisydee1 :
Thanks! I'm honored! :-)
from thehour :
that was a great quiz/survey type thing. if i ever get time agian, i'm going to steal it. :)
from devil-jay :
Hiya. Is everything okey with you and your guy? I think it's sad when that happens. Guys embracing the inner neanderthal-man. Could be that he's jealous of how happy you are with your little things (net-buds, forest walks, spiritual stuff etc) when he's not with his. God knows I know the feeling. It's a stupid feeling and I hope I'm wrong about him. Take care!
from hissandtell :
It was an Ironbark tree, darling. The interesting thing about it is that is came up on its own. When we moved here, there was an ENORMOUS old Ironbark tree in the yard, but it had been struck by lightning and one side was leaning periloulsy close to the house - so it had to be cut down. Of course this made us very sad, but it would have wrecked the entire house if it had fallen. And a year or so later, this new tree came up about fifteen yards away - in a perfect spot. It's now about ten feet tall, and oozing resin. I'm so pleased to have the original tree's baby doing so well. Love, R xxx
from hissandtell :
Your visit to the spring sounds magickal indeed, darling. And I was fascinated by your resin story - only yesterday I was in my garden looking at a lovely big amber-y chunk oozing from a tree, and wondered if it would mind if I took it for my altar. I'll be watching it closely from now on, waiting for a sign...Love, R xxx
from devil-jay :
Goose?! *laughs* My diary is too gorgeous to have my ... unpretty face in it. Besides, sometimes it's nice not to know what someone looks like if you read their stuff. I don't want to spoil it for those people. ;) Seriously, I like my new "privacy". Few fans, no searches, no feeling of "have to explain everything because that's what people want". How's the new puppy?
from enchancea :
yes the clouds were quite amazing today
from thehour :
oh, she's too cute!!!
from fiongalla :
What a lovely baby! Congratulations!
from devil-jay :
AAAAWWWWWW!!!!! She's supercute!! *says the catlover*
from enchancea :
Glad the program worked and yes I am liking this layout better since you tweaked it!
from enchancea :
oh how cute! Shes adorable
from hissandtell :
What a little DOLL! Thank you for sharing the photographs, darling.
from devil-jay :
Font size, style and colour are the easy ones to change. I'm just saying. As for your five older... you can put them in a straight line under the other links. That's also easy to fix. But the buddies... Ehe! =)
from enchancea :
hmm I agree. the only thing i like on here is the pic. To be honest I like the other one better
from hissandtell :
Oh, I absolutely LOVE this picture. It's exactly what I imagine you to be, darling! Love, R xxx
from thehour :
i'm pretty sure i know how to remove that first letter bold thing... i'll email you.
from devil-jay :
Looks good. =) There's plenty of space for both your five older and buddies. Good luck. =)
from raen :
ooof pretty
from enchancea :
LOVE LOVE the new look. And yes ants are assholes. But they help the peonies, at least thats what I heard so I deal with them. But I cant deal with them in my veggie garden.
from thehour :
lol! the nerve!! after all, they are YOUR peonies! ;D
from devil-jay :
Hey...PB1 is done. Finished. Did it this morning. Whoohoo. Pop open the champagne! ;)
from p-brain :
Hi. =) You don't need to check P-Brain as often as you do (I think it's you). I have about ...50 or 60 pages left to add. I'll let you know when I'm done. THEN you can keep an eye for new things. ;) *takes Datura for a slow Tango-like dance* So far the morning has been nice. See ya.
from devil-jay :
Here I was talking all about myself and didn't think to ask how you are. I read our entry just now and you said things are getting back to somewhat normal. I don't think it's too soon to get a new dog. Some people might think you're not respecting Molly but I don't think so. She was SOMEONE and not just "a dog". No other dog can replace her. All animals are special if you get to know them. I know that when Kimsy pass away, which is impossible ;), I will get another cat because I can't live without cats. It's unatural for me. *hugs you again* Sorry I forgot to ask. I'm so not thinking clearly. Stupid me.
from thehour :
i'm so glad you updated! and thanks for the compliments on my new layout. i had a hard time getting dland to take it for some reason. but i think it was a dland glitch. i'm still pissed about it. anyway, if you have any questions when you redo yours, just ask. but i'll warn you, i never start from scratch. i find something i like and tweak until i'm happy. so i don't know how helpful i'll be. but i'll try!
from devil-jay :
Research? You mean you know who I'm talking about? I haven't talked about my reasons why I was upset and angry in devil-jay or *the other place*. It's not an "she's with a man and I'm jealous" thing. She wanted me to be honest with her, tell exactly what was on my mind and not hide or hold back. I didn't. But then she couldn't tell me personally (in an email) that her interest for someone (not me!) had changed to someone else. This screwed up our imaginary world; where I finally could act the way I never do in real life. That is why I was so upset. Now I just want to be sarcastic as hell, but I still don't want to lose her as a friend. If you want more in depth then I have to mail you. I don't want this to be a public problem. It's bad as it is. Thanks for the hug. I still try not to think of the ones she gave me but it's hard. They were so real.
from chillidip :
Thankyou for your sweet message. I'm happy to have you as my lurker. I'm so sorry to hear about molly. I hope she has found peace wherever she is. xx

Sorry to hear about your poor baby. I am sure she is in a better place. And when it's your time to go to the Summerland, Molly will be waiting for you, just like my poor babies will be waiting for me. Hugs. Salem
from enchancea :
Im sitting here crying, Im so sorry about Molly. At least she is in a better place now. I know it will be hard not to have her around, but at least she isnt suffering anymore. Take care dear
from fiongalla :
So sorry about Molly. Big hugs.
from hissandtell :
Your poor girl; you poor you. I'm so awfully sorry to hear it. Be strong and brave, darling. Love you, R xxx
from devil-jay :
I wish I had rain. It's sunny and I hate it. It would be nice to talk about it with someone other than who it concerns but I'm just so drained; emotionless. Besides, I don't want to be "looked at" like an idiot for feeling the way I do. Hey...if you go to the *other place* you might get an idea. *hugs you again* ...god I miss her virtual hugs...
from captvfirefly :
I am just sitting here in tears. I am so sorry to hear about Molly. I'm sure she's in a better place now. I really don't know what else to say without sounding trite or ... I dunno. I'm sending comforting thoughts your way. ***BIG HUGS***
from devil-jay :
...sigh...this weekend really sucks, doesn't it. We both lost something we love, but for different reasons. Mine is nothing compared to yours, yet I cried a lot (don't ask please). *hugs for the longest of times* I bet she's up there...somewhere, chasing my passed away cats. =)
from devil-jay :
Clever me sent this to myself >.< "Yours too??? Oooo. They have something in common. Kimsy loves paper bags! Anything small and compact, like small boxes or my (empty) backpack. But I still wish I could give her that AMAZING sleeping place. But you're right. She does love me. I know that. It's not one of those empty "I think so" thoughts. I know. She welcomes me almost every day when I get home, she always steels my attention and she most often sleep in my lap or on my chest. Even in bed sometimes. =) I hope everything is good with Molly. I haven't checked my buddies yet. I will." I'm such a dorc. =)
from hissandtell :
Oh, I love your gardening stories. I'm still dreadfully sad about your Molly...poor baby. But I also wanted to tell you how much I ADORE cicadas! When I taught little kids, we used to collect their abandoned split skins (the cicadas', not the kids') and use them in collages. They also looked very fetching painted gold and turned into mobiles...Love, R xxx
from devil-jay :
Did you watch the video too? How was it? My computer is way too slow to show moving pictures like that. And the sounds sounded like it was trapped inside the computer. I had to turn it all up and still barely heard anything. I'll see if I can get my hands on a maxi single or maybe even Ruslana's cd; also called "Wild Dance". =D
from devil-jay :
=) The only link I know of is this: http://svt.se/svt/jsp/Crosslink.jsp?d=677 ...It goes straight to a Sw. tv site. But it's okey. I'll guide you. When you load the page a pretty tasty picture of furry-dressed ladies will steel your attention whether you like it or not; it's right in front of you. Under the picture is three links. The one with the camera next to it (says "alla finalisterna" - all finalists) - click it and you'll get a new window. Scroll down until you reach "Ukraina". There's a link under it that says something like "Se bidrag" or something ("See contestant"). The reception on my computer is very bad. The sound isn't too good either but you'll get an idea of the 30 second *short* cut. My computer is old, slow and near death. You might get a better reception. I'll keep looking for possible video sites.
from devil-jay :
Normally each country have their own competition. We have several for different "regions". If a song pass they reach the final and fight for the honour to represent our country. But... there are alternatives... apparently. =) Turkey won last year. Now, hosting the whole damn thing cost a lot and some countries, like Turkey can't make it, so they focused on the big show and *hired* a band to represent them. No contest whatsoever. That's pretty cool. Since it cost a lot of money to make all this happen a winning country fears winning twice, especially for the poorer countries. So Turkey chose a ska band. Do you know what it is? It's like a mix of reggea and punk. Really cool music. There's usually trumpets and other ..."blow instruments" in it. Very energetic! What else?! Ruslana, or Ukraine is ... JESUS!. I have never heard anything like it. Imagine Riverdance cloned with Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome! It's a mix of ... rock and traditional Ukraine music. The beat is just amazing. You have to find this song somewhere. It's called "Wild Dance". The dance itself is really simple but so cool. ...and she's so fucking hot! Woooooo! I'll post a picture of them if I can find a good one. Promise. I used my cell phone and voted three times! It's a lot of fun. It's a massive tradition to watch it/follow it. Mum and I always have these comparison to previous years which probably put us in the nerd category because we remember stuff like who won when and what pause dance was it. I'm far from best at it but I have a pretty okey knowledge of it all. Like when mum asked me if Johnny Logan (ballad king from Ireland) did the "Why Me?". The song Ireland stole the show with in the 90s. Don't remember the year, and I said "No, it was the redhead with long hair". There were like 10 eyes on me in a second. =) // Sorry for the email-long note. Won't happen again. *blushes*
from devil-jay :
Oh I'm sorry. I forgot. ESC is short for Eurovision Song Contest. It's HUGE over here. It's a tradition of mine (and my family ... and the rest of the Sw. population) to watch, comment and throw up on the terrible songs/clothings. I don't know if you've heard anything about it. It's a massive amount of countries (now close to 30 or even more) competing in songs. The problem is since there are so many countries, and the show only last 3 hours(!!), they had to split it into two contests. You see, those who have made it to place 10 to one is automatically in the contest the next year while others have to fight for a place. Sweden is pretty much always in the top ten. =) But there are flaws of this. England, Ireland(?), France and one or two more has ESC access all the time because They're the founders of the whole thing or something. It's stupid. England has sucked years in a row yet they have a free spot in the show each year. If you happen to see the show on some obscure American channel or on your computer, look for Ukraine. She's like Xena but with animal fur clothing and whips instead of metal and swords. The song is the best I've heard in ages. Awsome! =)
from hissandtell :
Don't ever apologise to us for what you write and how you're feeling! Things are very stressful for you at the moment, darling, and none of your readers minds you sharing what's happening in your life. I only hope it all gets back on track soon and you start feeling more like your usual vivacious, bewitching goddess self. Hugs to Molly. Love, R xxx
from devil-jay :
Don't apologise. Your dog is sick and you are worried. You can whine all you want. It's people like me who shouldn't be allowed negative remarks about everything all the time. =) And you do deserve the banner. I don't know if anyone will search for you, since clicking the damn things usually never work; unless you have an extremely juicy banner. >.<
from thehour :
don't apologize for talking about what's going on with you guys! this is your place to unload all of that stuff and help process it. goddess knows that i bitch, whine, moan, complain, etc. enough in my diary. but you need to write whatever you want. i just hope things get better for you soon. i'm sending good thoughts!
from enchancea :
Im sorry. Enjoy your time with her and I dont believe they are ever really gone. Sometimes I swear I can still feel my Brit near, especially at night. And as least she isnt in pain. I really dont know what to say because Ive been here so many times and nothing anyone says really makes it better.
from captvfirefly :
I'm so sorry. :( Wish I could say something that would fix everything. Just know that I'm thinking about you ... **HUGS**

...me too. *hugses! lots of them*
from thehour :
:( i'm so sorry.
from thehour :
well i'm glad that you got to spend some time regrouping. it's good that you do something constructive to help you when you're upset... i tend to shut down completely and that doesn't help. it would have been nice if it had rained though... cleansing. last night i walked downstairs to see if my neighbor had pizza coupons and it was pouring. i didn't rush either... just got wet. you're right, it's just water. and it's nice to enjoy the cool water fall on my upturned face.. let it wash away the tears and pretend that it's just as easy to wash away the bad feelings.
from enchancea :
I get all my tubes and images from various yahoo groups dedicated to PSP. I have so many it takes hours to decide on one!
from devil-jay :
Oooo... I don't suppose you've taken photography classes. Not that it matters. But the image you posted is near enough a perfect 10, A, MVG ... whatever grade you like. There's something in every corner and when you look at the main object (your cat) you don't get the feeling of empty space in the upper right area. I love it! If only it was 5 pixles shorter on the right side. That way the wheel of the chair would disappear. // Thanks for the comment on my picture. =)
from devil-jay :
I was supposed to say thank you for the email (very amusing!) but now that I read about your poor doggie... I just wish she could eat. Things would be so much better if she only ate. That's what I think anyway. That's one of the hardest things with animals; you can't talk to them and try and reason with them because they just don't understand. I call for a long, tight hug. *hugs you for several minutes* Take care.
from enchancea :
sounds like a nice relaxing day. The moon was beautiful tonight wasnt it?
from cielamara :
Hey, at least you still have a guy. The ex-that-I-was-thinking-about-taking-back-boyfriend emailed me today and basically said I was stupid, that I believed everything I was told, that he was talking to HER again and that he was laughing at me because I was stupid. Wanna trade? ~*Cielly
from enchancea :
That sounded like a very beautiful place
from chillidip :
I dont think its selfish. I find I'm far lonelier when I'm around someone and there is that uncomfortable silence and tension, than when I'm by myself. I'm glad going out for a walk helped you though. Walking is good for the soul, I wish I could do more of it.
from enchancea :
I got it from downloads.com, it has a automatic list of pop up ads that it blocks and you can edit that if you want. And if a pop up tries to come up that isnt on that list it will ask you if you want it blocked, all you do is say yes and its blocked forever. And it has a little trashcan on the bottom with a number beside, that number stands for all the pop up ads its blocked. Plus you can have 100 different pages open and it all stays within in the browser in little tabs. I love it and wouldnt know what to do without it.
from raen :
You're welcome. webmasterfree.com can be useful sometimes. :) I think that's where I got popupkiller. I've had it for over a year now.
from enchancea :
Use MYIE2. Its alot better than Internet Explorer and I havent had pop ups ads since I got it
from raen :
Did you just say that you spent $30 on Stopzilla? PopUpKiller is free and works the same. There is a customizable sound when it kills an ad and you can add more popups for it to block. It actually works better than the one offered by my ISP (which is also free). Don't pay for that shit. :P :)
from thehour :
i would definitely get a second opinion. that vet seems so uncaring! how can he be a vet? i haven't thought of beltaine either. it's crossed my mind, but i haven't thought about it much. i also wanted to say that your visit with your family sounded wonderful! magical even. :) have a great day!
from enchancea :
I would get a second opinion. I know this going to sound really weird but I swear it works for my dog. Our vet told us to give our dog a little bit of pepto bismol whenever she's throwing up or appears to have a upset stomach. I know it sounds odd for a dog but it has never failed. My grandma also sometimes gives one of those little peppermint hard candy things too. Im not sure if that does anything but she sure likes them

Those were great! :D I copied them all into notepad for future reference. When I become an Evil Overlord, I will make you my trusted lieutenant. ;)
from p-brain :
Thanks. =) Yeah, Yulia is a lovely eyecandy but the colours drove me a little insane. I've been thinking of possible pics but I'm not sure how I should make it fit the layout. Maybe some day... Hows Molly? Is she doing okey? It hurts me more to hear when a pet is not well compared to another human. They can't use words to say what's wrong so you have to make guesses. Give her a hug from me, please. =) *hugs you too*
from bastet-hw :
Poor, sweet Molly. May I ask what dry food she's having to endure? I work in a pet store and unless she has needs that I don't know about, I'd suggest Royal Canin's 'Special Needs33' Formula. Royal Canin is an excellent brand, I feed it to my feline kids, one of which is a senior and the other, I mix the 'Hair & Skin' formula with the 'Slim' formula and is working wonders! Another great brand to try, if you wish, is anything from the Natura line. I would suggest Karma, which is a totally organic dog food, or perhaps, California Natural. Cal. Nat. is made with fewer ingredients to be gentler. Oh! Another one, if she has allergies might be Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance Duck & Potato. Either way, since she's so sensitive now, I would definitely stay away from any foods with fish in them. These are all spendy foods, but they are soooo well worth it, you get what you pay for. Love and light to you both, Bastet
from enchancea :
Im sorry about your poor doggy. Ill be sending some healing energy her way. And we used to feed my dog alot of human food because our big dogs lived on our leftovers but my girl got really sick from it, I guess small dogs cant handle it as well. So we just give her a little treat now and then. But if we are eating around her she wont touch her food until shes sure we dont have any food and theres no way she will get any.
from p-brain :
I'm with the others. Let's hope she just caught a little doggie-bug.

Your poor lovely Molly. Yes, of course I will be thinking of you both and sending you my very best thoughts and wishes. Love, R xxx

I thought you'd like that song. :) I hate that the RIAA has people so scared to share files. I'm sharing over 4000 files, but they are mostly videos and pictures and others. If you're sharing old and rare stuff it's less likely they'll catch you. But hey, as long as other people are offering certain songs, get them while you can! :D
from hissandtell :
Your words about storms were so beautiful. I too love them and respond to them from such a deep place it's had to know why or how. Ever since I was a child I've loved to be out there in the middle of them, dancing in the rain or just sitting quietly letting it fall on me. We don't have tornados here but we do have cyclones. I love feeling the energy crackling through my skin, although I fear their chaotic power too - which is just as it should be, I imagine. Love, R xxx

Whatever you're doing to make yourself more confident...do send some ideas my way. Where's a lovely lush fertility goddess for me to stare at? Why don't they make goddesses with short legs and fuller hips than breasts? Damn it! ~*Cielamara

your garden ideas sound beautiful. i don't plan on trying any gardening this year since i'll probably move in the summer. i almost bought seeds and stuff for an herb garden to plant in pots, but since i'm surrounded by trees, i get no good direct light. oh well... maybe after i move or next year. *sigh*

Thanks, love. =) Maybe you'll see a hint of that side somewhere else.
from p-brain :
Yeah, I've come to the conclusion I should keep quiet/not write when I'm tired. I always sound very non-present and lacking attention towards others. Not good. // You're stuck in act 3? Oh. Well, I beat the crap out of Diablo and reached the second difficulty level. But then I was thrown back to the first difficulty level after I installed the expansion pack. I used my barbarian. The amazon might need more protection since the enemies get pretty physical further ahead. But I think you'll make it. She's good with range attacks. That's what you need when you meet Diablo's brother (I think). It's a mean bastard who send electric bolts your way. The trick is to lure him to the edge of the pathio (he can't get anywhere), hide just out of range and shoot crossbow arrows like mad! Preferrably with poison or someother nice effect. Did wonders. =) I don't have the patience to control the amazon or any other non-physical charachter. I panic! =) I'm not too good with the keyboard to handle spells. I rather get dirty with a nice set of axes. =D Wish I had an axe that is better than the sword I use. A Barbarian souldn't use swords. Looks dorky! It's not 11.30pm and I guess you're having a lovely afternoon right now. I am sooon going to bed. Take care!

Merry Meet, I'm so happy you decided to leave me a note. Yes your right its the little things that mean the most to people.

I tried Legend of Zelda on the old Nintendo but I thought it sucked because I got nowhere. Haven't played FF4. I have FF7 but it's so not worth my time. I'm stuck just outside the main town, on the fields. I had a breakthrough yesterday. I found the chocobo trainer so I have the Aeon's Soul. Yaaay. =) Someday I'll get the soundtracks from Ebay. The song to Mount Gagazet is heavenly. It match the snowy scenery very well. How's Diablo 2 coming along? I haven't played it in a while. Cramped computer slows it down. =(
from cielamara :
I'm glad I inspired you so, darling. I feel like I suddenly know you all the better now, because you were drawn to paganism for some of the same big reasons I was! And, I was delighted for the book reference! Aside from the recommendation I just gave you for Hayley Westenra, I'm currently without recommendations. I'll hunt through my stash and brood on it a bit! Cheers, luv. ~*Cielakitty

Oh, how I enjoyed your words about sensuality! I feel pretty much exactly the same way, and I'm sure it's why I was drawn to paganism too. Love you! R xxx

from occoquan1 :
Hiya. :-) Dad knows a lot about me, and knows I read Tarot and such, but I've never told him I am a practicing Witch. Not that I ever hid anything either...always read all the witchy books out in the open, and no one ever said anything one way or the other. He is a smart man, so I am sure he has figured it out already. However, I don't think I am going to have Dad participate, because if it is dementia, doing a ritual to banish harmful spirits might just scare him more than he already is. I know that my diary entry contained just the text of the ritual...I believe that what goes behind it...channelling the white light of divinity to push out the darkness, will really do trick. I thought about spreading some salt around, but I want to make sure that I don't banish any helpful spirits in the process. And I thought about Free Will as a part of this process, but since I am not performing a healing, in which case I would have to tell Dad, I believe I am not compromising his free will. So, I'll take a deep breath and proceed. It'll be interesting because I've never performed a banishing ritual...never had the need to. And I am fond of spirits, so this is a bit different for me. Guess I can't always be a sweetness and light witch. :-D
from occoquan1 :
Hey there! Thanks for the notes! As for my Dad, I will definitely keep everyone updated. It is possibly dementia, coupled with an actual noise problem, but right now anything is possible. I am going to perform a banishing ritual this weekend, so see if I can rid the place of any unwelcomed spirits and invite protective spirits in. It could only help. Peace to you! Salem
from cielamara :
Hey babe. You need to go out RIGHT NOW and get a new CD called "Pure". The artist is Hayley Westenra. You will croak of sheer joy when you hear her voice. Go! Go now and get it! Shoo! GO! ^_^ Bright blessings. I think you'll love her. ~*Cielamara
from occoquan1 :
Been there on losing entries. I've taken to highlighting and copying the entry before I hit done, just in case something goes wrong and the entry doesn't go through. I have to say that before I started doing that, I must have lost at least 2 or 3 fairly long entries. Hope your weekend improves. Peace, Salem
from occoquan1 :
Enjoyed hearing about your starting the bonfire! Excellent! Hope that you get to do that solitary camping trip someday...and definitely take the dog. Definitely safer that way. Peace, Salem
from p-brain :
Thank you!! =D The main reason I begged you to have a look was more of a "does the set up of the page look good?" Don't want to spend too much time with the page since it's locked. I have more pics but scanning them make them look terrible. Like the one of Tracy Chapman. It's inked but look like I used cotton balls instead of a pen when I scan it. Grrr. I might add more some day. ;) *the secret exhibitionist speaks again*
from p-brain :
Could you please have a look at my About Me page. There's something there, at the bottom. ;)
from p-brain :
...hmm...I forgot what I was going to write. Oh yeah. I'm the kind of person who listens to music that reflects my mood. The "happy music when sad" thing seems odd to me. I think people should embrace the gloomyness instead of pretending to be happy all the time. 2nd thing: If you need help with your layout (IF you screw up) let me know. I love these things. But I guess you know that already. I'm thinking of making a new layout. Not one I will use but I just want to make it. A turquoise look with a picture of a wasp in a blue plastic cup my cousin took last summer. Something simple - as always.
from raen :
I loved the new 101! And I did make it through all of them (#101 :P). It was very interesting and I learned a lot about you I think. We have a few things in common. And you're still a nut! The 101 proves it. :D -- Have you ever heard any songs by Type O Negative? They aren't listed in your profile. If you haven't, you need to let me recommend a few songs to you - ones that I have a feeling you will love. :)

Ooh, your crocuses are beautiful! They're one of my favorite flowers. And I know what you mean about taxes - last year I paid $1000 to the feds (I was legally married then though, so maybe that did it??) - this year I'm stalling because I just don't want to see that kind of number again. I don't understand how everyone else around me (with kids, no less) is getting back thousands of dollars?? What is that all about? I feel your pain... :)

I prefer that they be captured and free'd outside too but Anthony wont do that and I usually try but I was naked, it was cold out and that spider was too damn big for me to go near.
from captvfirefly :
I'm sorry to hear about your man problems. As I was reading what you wrote, it was as if *I* had written it. Actually, I've said alot of the same things about my Ex husband .. he never wanted to hear about work (he used to always say, "quit bitching or quit!"!!), but he wasn't jealous of my online friendships because he himself was a chat addict and computer gamer. I agree with you that internet friendships are important, and he should understand that you're not trying to replace him, it's just a network of people with similar interests - and hell, if he's not going to want to hear about it, then you have a right to surround yourself with people who do. ((HUGS)) I hope this works out for you! And if you do lock (which I hope you don't), I hope you give me the password. ;)
from pyxiekitty :
I hear ya about the whole guys not listening thing. Actually my problem most of the time, is I wanna talk, and he has nothing to talk about or no input on what I just said, I can't even get a simple "mmhmm" outta of him! lol... but then he is mad coz im on the pc all the time. This is where my friends are, and they talk, why wouldnt I wanna be on here, instead of watching him do whatnot? *i feel ya completely*
from thehour :
gah! locking your diary?? say it isn't so!****i'm so sorry your guy is being a turd. your behavior is completely understandable considering his reactions to your attempts at conversation. why would you want to subject yourself to that over and over? and you need to have the support of other people with common interests. the only difference between you and other women with their friends, is that your friends are not necessarily nearby. i hope things get better.*****and your chocolate survey? scarily similar answers to what mine would be. seriously. i may need to steal it from ya. ;)
from hissandtell :
I'm very sorry to hear that your man is being snaky about your internet friends. I agree that online relationships are very important - especially for witches - because they help you take on new ideas, throw around a few of your own and offer support networks into the bargain. I just hope you can both reach some kind of resolution without any negative compromise on your part. Love, R xxx

from hissandtell :
Yeah, this matron business can suck. When I turned forty I said to my hairdresser, "Well, dye it black with red and blonde streaks (as usual) and leave it long, because I only have a few good years left before it all gets cut short and let go grey." She got really angry with me and told me about the most gorgeous witch-crone aged in her 70s whose hair she does - it's long, grey-black with red and purple streaks and looks completely stunning - so my hairdresser said she'll outright refuse to cut off my hair all short for me, and let it go grey, even if I beg her until I'm 100!
from cielamara :
I'm glad you liked the song! Some other recommendations? Hmmm...you might like to try Delerium. That music's very good for getting you into a witchy sort of mood--my favorite two songs by them are "Aria" and "Incantation." Also, "Firefly (Euphora)" and "Silence", with Sarah MacLachlan, are fantastic. ~*Cielamara

Hi thanks for the note. your diary is very interesting, I've always had pagan tendencies.

when i read the friday five this morning, i thought the exact same thing about the store. wouldn't that be wonderful? and i thought it was kind of funny that you put mexican food as your favorite. when we were in chicago, we both decided we would not have any mexican food because it would not be 'real' mexican food more than likely. we can have mexican food any old time here. i wonder if you've had 'real' mexican food or not. what i would think of as 'real' anyway. we usually don't eat mexican food out... i make it at home. did you know that i'm hispanic? well... after growing up eating that stuff, it's hard to go somewhere and eat it out. but i love it too.
from pyxiekitty :
I agree that maybe sometimes families do go thru things to make you remember that that is your only family and to love them and cherish them the best you can.

I'm so very sorry about Clarissa. I hope you don't think I'm being too presumptuous here, but I was just re-reading about the goddess Ostara ("Where Ostara steps, the earth is covered with new flowers and lush growth; she turns sorrow to joy, adversity to prosperity and despair to renewed hope" and these affirmations for you to say on her behalf, if you're so inclined, seemed appropriate: I live life without fear ~ I feel absolutely supercharged ~ Today is my chance to be healthy ~ My vital energy resurfaces naturally ~ I embrace life in its absolute fullness ~ I find my path following my inclinations ~ I am weightless and free of burden ~ My whole being reaches for the new dawn.

Oh good. Looks wierd though. I got so used to the bold text. ;) If you want the text smaller you can put an <Font size=2> in front of ... wherever you want small text. Don't forget to end it all with </Font>. I think your links are size 2. But it's your diary. // The gallery? Um... I was thinking of maybe making a private entry out of it, like my photos. I'm still a little paranoid that some people might do a little search and find me. Some of my drawings are *very* special and they will know it's me, so... But it's also a matter of picture space at my image area. I don't want to take up too much too soon. I've reached nearly 40% of the 30MB I have. That doesn't include my p-brain2 image area! Yes, I am THAT nerdy that I get TWO image accounts (one being 5MBs) at dland. I'll show off the so called anime pics every once in a while when I've "finished" them if you like - until I've decided what to do. Rock on!
from p-brain :
Yoga is not dumb "entertainment". If people find it helpful or relaxing then good for them. But for me it's very hard to even imagine sitting still and relax for x amount of time. I can't do that. I can't sit still and do nothing. My yoga consists of my drawings and quiet moment with Sim City - if it runs smothly that is. ;) // I have found the "problem" with your layout. First of all: all entry text is bold, so you can't make it any bolder than it is. ;) BUT...there seems to be a little error. Find this: "<p></p><b> Mood: <b/> </a>%%option1%% <p></p> Sountrack: </a>%%option2%% <p></p> Lingering thoughts: </a> %%otion3%%" The <b/> after Mood is wrong. It should be </b>. That way ONLY Mood gets bold; which means you can put <B> </B> wherever you want to make the text stand out. But if you want the entire entry bold then you'd have to fool around with changing link colours, and that's not something I would recommend. It changes ALL links. I don't think there's a way to get certain links one colour and another set of links in a different colour. There are a few other things in your HTML (the link table) that could with a edit (the alignment of the titles), but that's only if you want to. // I might add a little gallery some day. I used to have one 2 years ago but i took it down. Hey. I can make it unofficial. =) I'll let you know.

That happened to me a long time ago, so I don't remember all the details. I think I had somehow included a bonzai buddy or something of the sort with some download and didn't realize it.

thanks for your note! and let me say that i am just now getting calm about this, two. hours. later. i know i shouldn't let it get to me and it's just work, but gah!!! i think it's the combination of P, trying to meet a deadline on getting new procedures and software lined up by the end of the week, getting my other work cleared so i don't get behind, and the impending (sp?) trip. stress... stress. but it gave me motivation to update, so i guess that's good. :) have a good night at work!
from pyxiekitty :
Let me say, LOVED the whole fantasy type thing! I could actually see it! Made me want to be there too! You are an awesome writer! I have now caught up on you!!
from hissandtell :
Your entry today about the farms was incredibly moving. When I go out to feed my babies each day, I am filled with such joy at watching the hens, ducks, guinea fowl, turkeys, geese, sheep and pig all hanging out together and eagerly awaiting my presence. I feel like a real barnyard queen!
from oceans-depth :
Thank you so much for signing my guestbook and the compliments. I have to return them to you also your diary is just awesome from the layout to your writing I couldn't stop reading it must be the mystikal connection I feel. I'll be back. xoxo Deja
from pyxiekitty :
I fully understand the little things in life lol. I looooove getting notes! *claps* *ish excited* lol
from boxx9000 :
thanks for stopping by. We have some BUDDIES in common.
from pyxiekitty :
Hey! Yeah you can add me :) Can I add you? :) This was another quick stop by, I didn't get to read this time, but I might be back later!
from pyxiekitty :
ryn: Hiya! Stopped by to check you out! I didn't have much time to read, but I got to read a little, I really like! *shall return*
from p-brain :
Oooo. I didn't think about that. Yulia V and I. Hehehehe... When I said baby Yulia and Si�bhan I meant my future children; but Tatu-Yulia will do just fine. ;) ...I mean *chocked look*, not that I would make out with my children. Ewww! No. I was thinking the "happy gay house" with a wife and two brats...err...children. ;) Do whatever you feel like. It's your game - your freetime.
from madam-rose :
oh i love that movie! You have no power over me! i just love that phrase and when she says it hehe.
from p-brain :
Great. =) But...who am I going to interact with? Not a MAN I hope. A pretty reddish-brunette with long, semi-curly hair and cool, yet casual, clothes ... named Czech Girl. Oooops! Loud thought. ;) Or maybe a brunette with short, spikey hair and equally cool clothes. Damn, I wish I had the Sims. I would make S.E "real" and even shove Si�bhan and baby Yulia in my house. =D Hey...there should be a programme to create your own Sims, AND their own paintings! I got one of those cd-roms from a game magazine a year ago but gave it to my cousin. You can take whatever real picture and resize it to fit the game. Someone had put loads of paintings of DOOM in their hallway. Hello Lesbi sex paintings. XD
from thehour :
well, your way of playing really does sound like a lot more fun! i may need to look into it again. :)
from p-brain :
Do you have any "diaryland sims"? =D Wish I had the ability (technology) to play The Sims. I don't believe there's a version for Mac; and even if there was my Mac is too old for stuff like that. Can't even play Diablo 2 properly anymore. =(
from enchancea :
I cant play the sims :( because of IE6
from hissandtell :
At first I thought you and Jill were sitting by the hot tub cosily watching Dennis and Tom, and I thought, "My, how very cosmopolitan!" but then I realised you're just innocently enjoying the frolicking fishies in the pond...
from fargahar :
I love the Sims. Love love love it. I really like building houses and then making the Sims fall in love with each other. I love it when they get all jealous. I of course always cheat and give them TONS of money so the don't have to work at all. :)
from p-brain :
No luck there then. They show 1 episode 2 times a day during Monday and Thursday ONLY. That is so not fun. I've been thinking of buying the DVDs - maybe. I wish Charmed was available on DVD. I love Charmed, but I haven't seen the full 4th season or the whole 5th ... I think. I believe Alyssa Milano cut her hair short (saw it on a Russian magazine add). She's so darn sexy with short hair!
from p-brain :
Mid 4th? Damn. I have no idea what season is on right now. Angel lost his soul and are now full-time vampire; he killed Ms Calendar and Buffy has been to the hospital with an extreme fever. Recodnize this?
from enchancea :
Hope things are better for you this weekend and everyday after
from p-brain :
Well...I haven't followed it until recently. I saw two episodes in London three years ago and got slightly hooked. But then it's been aired on odd hours the last two years so I haven't been able to watch it. I've seen a couple of episodes but I don't know the seasons. I've seen the Oz-warewolf episode twice now. Zander is dating Cordelia and Angel is back to 24/7-Vampire. I want to see the episodes where Willow goes gay. That's what I've heard anyway. =D I've seen a very sexy picture of Alison Hannigan in one of my russian mags. "short" brownish red hair, lots of eye make-up, unbuttoned light pink shirt & b&w mini school skirt. YEEEEEOOOW! ;)
from thehour :
K is doing fine... now. the day after the whole ordeal he woke up feeling sick. now since i know him, i knew that he wasn't sick because of some virus or whatever, but had made himself sick over the whole thing. he said he felt feverish and like shit in general and had dizzy spells. i told him he didn't have a fever, and i knew he had made himself sick from worrying about the whole thing because he ALWAYS does that. i tried explaining this to him but he didn't believe me. i'm tellin' ya... the mind is a powerful thing. anyhow, he feels better and has been back to his regularly scheduled programming since friday afternoon. thank goddess. men are such pains when they feel bad!
from captvfirefly :
I'm just catching up - I'm so sorry about what happened at work! The big bosses always put you between a rock and a hard place - you're supposed to be able to believe what they say and answer honestly, but then they turn against you. Awful. And I highly doubt that your DON thinks you feel all that negativity towards her - at least you had a chance to set the record straight. You're a good person, and I'm sure she knows that. Evil corporate talking heads. :( Anyway, I'm glad you're feeling better now - I'm sure it will work out the way it is supposed to. ((hugs))
from enchancea :
Glad you are feeling better. A nice walk out in nature always makes me feel better, even just sitting outside makes me feel better. I would tell them off too but thats the way I am. I dont let anyone get away with screwing me over if I can help it.
from hissandtell :
What a pathetic, back-stabbing thing to do. The most reprehensible thing was singling you out as a source of discontent! Even if you had said those negative things it would have been disgraceful enough passing them on without protecting your anonymity - especially when this sounds as if people's opinions were actively solicited in the first place! - but to relay such hurtful lies is inexcusable. I really think you need to speak to others about the dangers of this type of conferencing, and let those in charge know you're aware of their duplicity. Don't stand for their sneaky bullying.
from fargahar :
Stuff like that is exactly why I don't work in an office (healthcare) anymore. Too much of that bullshit.
from thehour :
men always have a way with words, don't they? i'm so sorry... i don't think you were being naive. they told you something and you believed them. that's how it's supposed to work. at least the DON felt secure telling you after what she heard and believes what you said, right? hugs.
from p-brain :
You like the picture? Ooo. Good to hear. Another member said it was "warm and welcoming" - opposed to the "fuck off" message. ;) Seems like some groups of d-land members are in sync when it comes to moods and the like. People take a break for 1 to several days and then comes back like "YEEEHAAAAW" at the same time. It's very interesting. I'm not one of the "Yeehaaw" people though. Not yet anyway. =) Oh, right. Yes, Yulia is probably intimidating to most people. ;)
from absinthesigh :
Thank you for yor note! In answer to your question I actually have an animal hospice in my home as well as an annex shelter in another house close by. I also work as a pet sitter for people who need help with the care of their animals and do volunteer work with the Humane Society and Farm Sanctuary. We are listed with many shelters and often get calls to pick up animals that have been "dropped off" that are very old, ill or unadoptable for various reasons yet still have some time left to for some good quality of life. That's where the hospice comes in. with love, ophelia
from occoquan1 :
Thanks for the tip! I'll get to adding those diaries as soon as I get a minute. I appreciate you help! BB... Salem
from occoquan1 :
Hey there! Thank you for checking out my diary. :-) I am so glad you find it inspiring. I'd be honored if you'd add me to your favorites. I have the free version of diaryland, so I don't have the adding favorites options, or much of anything...least I have the diary, and it's a freebie. :-) But I will add you to my bookmarks and check out your diary. Peace and Blessed Be, Salem
from enchancea :
Everytime I try to meditate I become overly aware of my body and it starts itching like crazy. I do much better with guided meditations. And thank you for letting me know what that injection was all about.
from raen :
Yeah, Chris can be an asshole at times. But I just had a dream where I slapped him. It was a good one too. :) Must write that up for the dream journal today sometime.
from p-brain :
It was a terribly bad story (in the written sense). It made me feel uneasy to know it was there. I only delete things when that feeling is very strong. It doesn't happen very often which I'm happy about. =) ...no I didn't write about anyone I know. It was based on someone but there's no way she could have known about it.
from p-brain :
I got a referal from your sitemeter so I decided to go there. Don't know why. I never look at other people's counters & statistics. The thing with diaries is that you never go back and change things - unless there are something really bothering you ("you" in general). Tell your friend that. I've only changed one thing during my use of p-brain. I wrote a 3 part story but descided it was not meant to be in here and removed it. I think I deleted an entry once too. Hey, do what you like with your diary. I don't mind. It's none of my business acctually, just thought I'd mention it (the block adress thing).
from hissandtell :
Your story about your cousin was so beautiful. She sounds like an extraordinary person. (In my other secret fantasy parallel-universe life, I am a raptor-carer - so I'm extremely impressed. And I always tell J that one day I'm going off on my own to live in the desert with dingoes!) But she made fun of your SOCKS? What on earth were they like to deserve such derision? I'm imagining long striped witchy-poo socks worn with clunky-heeled Mary Janes - please tell us more...
from enchancea :
She is very lucky indeed. That is one of my dream jobs too.
from p-brain :
Hi. I had a look at your sitemeter and I saw loads of aol users. You're an aol user and ... if you haven't found it yet: you can block your own adress. I don't want to come out as a know-it-all, just thougth I'd mention it. Feel free to call me stupid if you like. =)
from p-brain :
Yeah... I'm the violent anti-rag bitch who glares at anyone who breath in my direction. ;) We're all different. You may stay at your coven if you like to. I should emmigrate to Greenland to be alone. Best for everyone, ey.
from hissandtell :
What have I missed? What has Mr Xena gone and done? Why is he a weenie?
from thehour :
your meal sounds delicious! and fresh bread... how ambitious! i wish i was up to making fresh bread, but i don't have a bread machine and i'm not big on kneading forever. and on the marriage issue... i don't think that a piece of paper should make any difference in how you and your SO treat eachother. so i dont think that screaming will begin after a marriage certificate is obtained. but.. it is only a piece of paper. if you are living together and are in an exclusive relationship, it's the same thing as being married. i think anyway. K and i never got married, but we live in a common-law state. so since we have lived together for so long and have a child, the government considers us married. we just never spent alot of money to get that way. :)
from thehour :
heeeeyyyy.... no fair. i want a moon lodge too.
from hissandtell :
One day very soon I shall become one of the legions of goddesses in this country who use the ecologically sound re-useable "rad pads" (http://www.radpads.com.au), and give their blood back to the earth every single month. I have no excuse (other than sheer laziness) not to be completely diligent about it any longer.
from enchancea :
I hear ya, I missed my pap appt Wednesday. Not on purpose though. I was out of town for other appointments and the lady told me I was suppose to be at the clinic in town for that but I couldnt get there in time if I wanted too. I really dont like the guy I have. He really really young and not gentle at all. He makes it so painful and he never talks, just comes in, does the pap and leaves. But I have to get paps twice a year because of the cells they found. ick
from absinthesigh :
I have added you to my favorites as well! I am looking for to keeping up with your adventures 8-). with love, ophelia
from thehour :
i actually don't have her cd's on my computer per se.... i downloaded every song of hers that i could find several months ago. so i just have songs and don't know which cd's they go to. i would love to actually buy some of her stuff though. that way i can play it no matter where i am and the quality will be better than what i have. when you download music, you never know what you're going to get. her music is one of those that truly speak to me. when i listen to it, it gets inside me and works its own magic making my spirit open up and want to sing and dance. (end cheesy moment.) :)
from thehour :
lol, i'm thinking the ol' boyfriend probably WON'T buy a diamond next time because it will probably HURT MORE. :D
from raen :
Thank you for joining my notify list! I'm glad it worked for you finally! :) Thanks a second time for even trying again!
from raen :
That's weird. Thanks for trying though. :) I went in and put in another email address of mine to test it and it worked. I looked at my stats and it showed that you're using IE6 (but who knows how accurate those browser readers really are?). I have no idea why it gave you trouble. :(
from hissandtell :
I have this internal-battle with taking showers, too. Well, with most things, really. I have to really talk myself into them because I never want to stop what I'm doing at any particular moment to go and do something else. Oh, and in Mia Farrow's autobiography "What Falls Away" that I'm re-reading today, she writes of Salvador Dali: "For himself, he said, he considered sex to be 'too violent'. And showers, too."
from thehour :
no more than usual. i'm naturally distracted at work. ;)
from thehour :
lol! well, it didn't come back undeliverable, so it must have gone through okay on my end. i hope it shows up for you soon! i wonder why it takes awhile sometimes... it's supposed to be instantaneous! :D
from thehour :
yeah, i'm not sure why it was getting returned. i emailed it to my work email addy just to make sure it wasn't something with yahoo. but that went through fine. so... hope this one works!
from thehour :
okay... i have tried emailing you 3 times at your diaryland addy and it keeps getting returned. argh!!! do you have another email address that you wouldn't mind sharing?
from absinthesigh :
The other day I received yet another offer from one of the music clubs you mentioned. As I looked over the tiny stamp pictures of the CDs they were offering I was inspired to wish I had kept all of their mailings I had ever recieved, from the 1960s until now... wouldn't it be wonderful to have all those nostalgic stickers? I would paper a wall with them. What a fun wall, what a great conversation piece it would be. I had a childhood friend whose father made all visitors write on and sign a special wall in their house. My tiny album wall would be much better. with love, ophelia
from hissandtell :
"The Hours" was utterly sensational, I thought: completely brilliant and re-watchable over and over. Harry Potter doesn't do it for me, although I can appreciate the techno-wizardry visuals. I was really looking forward to "Royal Tenenbaums" (I adore Gene Hackman)and ended up leaving it early because it just didn't go anywhere I wanted to be, and nor did I care what happened to any of the characters! So just call me a bitter, twisted, cynical old critic and you'd be close to the mark...
from hissandtell :
Hmmm, I'm no help at all because I'm not hugely grabbed by any of them. I haven't seen "Scorpion King", though. What else ya got to choose from?
from hissandtell :
Yes, please join the practclmagic diaryring! I absolutely love the film (and the book, too) and think it is the best one out there to watch with girlfriends while we guzzle midnight margaritas!
from forestdream :
Hey - email me, so that I can send you your numerology thing :)
from enchancea :
I feel the need to buy books too. But I have to keep reminding myself that I need to save what little bit of money I have
from p-brain :
Thanks for the feedback on my picture of Yulia. I talked to a friend about it today; if I should try and make it more "identical" comic-wise to her real looks; and she said I shouldn't try to do what others do. I should find my own style. Easier said than done! // The anime pics are not from a comic book - although I wish they were. I got them poster-style. Laminated.
from madam-rose :
hi i was wondering what is the name of that book and whats the author. I wanted to look into it. Sounds like a good book. Oh and also do you know any good sites for images of fantasy type stuff. Like fairies or angels? lol im having a heck of a time tracking some down. :)
from enchancea :
no I havent tried it. And Ive only see one of them in person and I must say it is gorgeous. You should go here: http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/ They have great forums and alot of people grow passionflower
from enchancea :
Sunflowers are great, I have a small patch of them by the front porch. I really love vines, and I hope to put in alot of them this year. Pansies are another fav because they come in so many styles. I really love foxglove but could never have it because of its poison. Ive gotten about 30 plant catalogs this year. I just got one that had a collection of 25 lillies bulbs for $1,000 lol They were pretty but I would never pay that much
from hissandtell :
Oh no, not gladioli! It's so hard to take them seriously here in Australia, with the reputation they have as such stern, erect and old-fashioned flowers (largely due to Dame Edna's naughty influence, of course). But I do agree with you about "bondage" of plants. Yuck. Once I bought a large, fine, upright-phallic cactus at a market and the seller wrapped it up against a tall stake, with lots of tight bindings, so i could get it home safely without it snapping...the poor thing. I never could look at it the same way after that!
from thehour :
thanks for the compliments on my art! those two are actually the two that i did on my own. and about the books... if you feel up to it, i'd like to know your favs on magic too! but if it's too much, then don't worry about it. thanks!
from hissandtell :
What a beautiful and inspiring entry. A fireworks of yellow on the snow - how blissful. It does sound like it's been a long cold lonely winter, little darling. (Of course, right now I crave icicles and snowflakes and snow queens and blankets of white. It's so HOT and sticky here!)
from thehour :
i'd be interested in knowing what some of your favorite craft books are.
from p-brain :
HAAAHAA. Nah, I don't think so. I'm the freak God forgot. But it would be nice to have a special purpose in life.
from thehour :
you weren't impressed with the zoo? hmm.. i may need to rethink that one then. i think i'm staying right next to the watertower. and yes, i am going completely alone. i am nervous about that because chicago is HUGE, but then again i'm happy about it because then i can just do whatever the hell i want. same thing happened when i went to long beach. i was nervous because i was flying to LA alone but once i got there i was able to slip away if i wanted with nobody noticing. not excessively, but so that i could at least do a couple of things that i wanted. Shedd is a must though. i just LOVE aquariums. when i was really young i wanted to be a marine biologist. *just a tasty tidbit* soo... looks like your stuck with the novels. i just can't seem to get away from them! :)
from thehour :
i really must stop writing novels in your notes page. :)
from thehour :
i think we will probably worry no matter what our choices. and just because you have a child, that does not mean that they WILL take care of you later, right? i have one and now i worry that if i don't have at least one more she will be all alone when K and i die. no family to be close to. so... the worrying never ends. and yeah, i love my munchkin. but the child makes me crazy. er. crazier. :) fortunately she likes to cuddle and that usually makes any former offenses seem like drivel. BUT... there's no rush either. you may change your mind in a few years. you may not. you have like 10 years to figure it out. don't worry about it.
from madam-rose :
thank you for your lovely note. it is nice to find other witchy folk :) I love your layout and ty for adding me to you bl when I get time id like to add u to mine as well.
from enchancea :
I cannot wait for Spring. Im going crazy this winter, it seems to have lasted long enough already
from thehour :
pictures certainly can be deceiving!! :D i was neither nice nor innocent. although i am getting nicer with age. i went through a really bad time when i was queen of the bitches. about your decision on children. i just want to say that having a child is a very hard thing. there are rewards and all, but you can have a fulfilling life without children too. if you have pets that you love and care for, you are a mommy in your own way. not having a child around affords you time to explore yourself, your spirit, and your beliefs. i rarely have that luxury and when i do, i'm too darn tired to do it! i read your entries and i long to have a few moments to invoke the goddess or lose myself in a vision. and right now you have that. only you know what is right for you.
from fargahar :
All the things I want on Ebay such as the Louis Vuitton purse that Jessica Simpson has, an autographed blue Dave Matthews Band guitar, a autographed Cagney and Lacey script...sadly cost more than 2.99.
from thehour :
you are so nice. and i do get the pyramid collection. thanks to enchancea. she told me about it and now i get to drool and covet most of the catalog while i wish i were rich so i could not only buy everything i wanted, but also be viewed as eccentric rather than weird. did you see in the last one that GORGEOUS purple dragon dress? i would look so adorable in that. seriously. another alot of the other horrendously expensive dresses. i just love ALL of it. hope today is better for you. ;)
from p-brain :
Okey...night time music. Perfect. I haven't listened to Moby or Portishead. I think I've heard like one or two songs from Moby but I don't remember them. The one I heard from "Mezzaine" was ...um...the song with the foetus (sp?) in the video. A very calm, relaxing song. I like that one. I have a feeling I will like the cd and I'm usually right when I have a feeling like that.
from p-brain :
I've been thinking of buying the Massive Attack "Mezzaine" (sp?) cd for a while now, but I've only heard one song. Is it good? Could you compare it to some other artist that I might know of. I'll email you later okey. Haven't forgotten about you. =)
from thehour :
damn... you got some really good stuff! i honestly can't believe you got my fairy print. i was coveting that (and many other things) from a catalog i get. also... you MUST go read the harry potter books. right now. stop reading and go already!
from thehour :
you know, i haven't been to the dentist in a long ass time. longer than you. and i'm terrified. i know i need to go really badly and that i have problems but i kinda wonder if i'm past all hope. i mean, i don't look like an extra in a western movie or anything, but still. and thanks for reading so faithfully. there are a couple of my buddies that i am interested in more than others and you're one of them too. it's always a pleasure/comforting to read someone that you feel kinda like you could be really good friends with if you knew eachother in 'real life'. :)

i completely know what you mean about the showering at night thing. i love being alone. i get really excited when i'm going to have the house (any my time) to myself. but -- showering sometimes freaks me out even if K is there and sleeping. i really think i watched the original psycho when i was waaay to young, :D. but showering alone at night? usually i try to avoid it. and if i can't, i'm peeking around the curtain every few minutes. and when it's time to sleep... don't like to do that when K isn't there. yeah, i'm a big wuss. :)
from p-brain :
The fucking DIV TAGS is used when you're FED UP with retarded tables, and ... I can't do that. =D *laughing* DIV TAGS is used instead of tables. They're easier to control. You don't need to rely on one big Table and it's TR & TD tags to get another one where you want it. I had three before this FUCKING PIECE OF TABLE SHIT. One for the picture, one for the entry and one for the links. Now I need to keep track of the horisontal and vertical alignment, fix the cellspacing etc. *blarrgh* Don't worry. Take your time and you'll know what I'm talking about. =) ...the reason why I asked was because Frankiegyrl told me the link table had moved and covered the entry table. I don't know why it did that. // I saw you looked for the new pickie of me. I added it today. I'll add one of Linda too. But not today (040121).
from fargahar :

hi! just passing through. i hate it when i saw that random people read my diary w/o signing my guestbook, and i don't want to be one of those people. =)

That sounds fun. I would do that but I am a CD burning retard. Seriously, I seem to fuck it up every time and always have to have the husband help me.
from kitchenwitch :
I think it is a bigger plane... I didn't ask what kind, but he did say it was big enough to pack a football team in! LoL... I don't even want to think of the cost... But he did say it was comfy...

I wish I could do what he did. I haven't actually tried it though, so I don't know... :) Maybe I should explore that, do some experiments.

Sounds like a wonderful plan...and UNPLUG THE PHONE! Not your fault if you don't get the call. :)

Thank you very much. When I finish one or both of them I will get back to you.:)

Hello! I noticed that you have Joyce Carol Oates as one of your favourite authors. I was wondering, would you mind recommending a book to start off with? Thank you.
from fargahar :
I dunno...with my diary addiction, if they took away my computer I would be bribing people to read me diaries. I already told the husband if I went blind or something I would need him to hire someone to read diaries to me.
from thehour :
sorry that didn't work out! i used to have a problem with my video card (i think) and it would reset my stuff to 800x600 every so often. anyway, i hope you figure it out (and it's something simple)!
from thehour :
your diary looks normal to me. and everyone's screen is set up different. like at home i have it set at 1024x764 or whatever. but at work it's 800x600. i would change it to the 1024 setting and click apply. then check your stuff and see if it looks normal. if not, then it may be another problem.
from thehour :
check your settings to see if something reset itself. usually the screen area is set at 800x600 or 1024x768. if it is not either of those, try them. see if that fixes it.
from evolver :
Thank you so much for your note! It was really sweet, and I'm glad you enjoy my writing. Your note definitely brought a smile to my face, although I'm not exactly depressed, just... unsatisfied. Always unsatisfied. I like it that way. :) Take care!

the sunrise sounds beautiful. simple things like that make me happy too. in the spring around here it's sooo beautiful. there's lots of grain fields and tall golden grasses along the highways. when the wind blows it's like waves of gold in the sunshine. sunny days, driving in the beautiful scenery with the windows down and the music blaring while i sing at the top of my lungs. that my friend, is my favorite thing.
from enchancea :
I really like the jeweled ones. So probably one of those. Im not sure what color though.
from fargahar :
I love Bjork...especially Human Behavior and Hunter. Those are my two favorite songs. I also like playing "Its Oh So Quiet" and dancing with the dogs. They go crazy.
from thehour :
wow. i hope your shift went well. that has to be really hard, to see the people you help and check on most of the week pass on. i don't think i could deal with that very well. i know it's probably inevitable that you will lose some, but i hope that the ones you see are at a minimum. and good luck on not catching that flu. K had it and it was awful! munchkin and i didn't end up getting it, but that was only because of all the lysol we used that week. i think.
from enchancea :
Hope works goes well for you tonight and you dont get the flu
from fargahar :
That is totally what the flu does..I mean look at who it kills...very Darwinian and natural selectionist it is. I hope you don't get it.
from invisibledon :
thanks for doing my no really survey
from coalescence :
Thanks for the buddy link! That's super cool of ya!
from captvfirefly :
Thanks for the note! Come by and read my festival of insanity any time. :) By the way, your layout is gorgeous! And, I like your writing style. I'm sure I'll be back.
from p-brain :
Thanks for the notes and GB entry. I didn't recieve the full GB entry though. But I think I know what you were trying to say. I saw your link at SiteMeter and it showed "Error Page" referal. I had a look at the links at PB2 and have fixed the About Me link. It had an incorrect adress. Thanks for trying to let me know. =)

Bee pollen is great! It has been shown to help people: *Lose Weight *Increase Energy, Vitality and Stamina *Enhance the Immune System *Relieve Allergy and Asthma Symptoms *Improve Sexual Function *Correct Digestion Problems *Slow the Aging Process *Prevent Cancer and Other Diseases It also comes in jars of powder and you spoon it out and eat it straight. It's pretty tasty actually. One time I got myself an extra spoon of it and I was go-go-go! --- Chromium (or chromium picolinate) is involved in the production of insulin and the release of glucose's energy from cells. Don't take it if you're diabetic. :) It kills my appetite for hours and hours. Great for dieting help if you have no will power like me. :) --- Now, a real nice one for me is ephedra! No shakes, just good steady energy for hours! It increases your heart rate and should not be taken to increase effects of a workout. You may have a heart attack. That's what all those [dead] idiots never understood. Many died from taking ephedra then working out or having rough sex afterward. That is a big no-no. Ephedra is the lazy person's workout. Take ephedra or workout. Don't do both. :) It was my wonder drug, now it's banned. >:-|
from enchancea :
I feel the same way. There is no doubt humans will destroy this earth and everything on it.
from p-brain :
Hmmm... seems you got a catch of my "Humans are parasites"-beliefs.
from thehour :
please tell me that there was hand washing in between the ass scratching and food foraging. please. :D
from enchancea :
Yes I know its not easy money. MY friend does it and so do alot of my family members. And if I dont get some kind of help paying for the class then I wont take it. I just dont have that kind of money. I wasnt planning on taking the class because I thought it was easy money, I was taking it because its the only thing here that I could possibly get a job doing. I live in a very small town with very few jobs and if you dont have a college degree good luck getting any job.
from forestdream :
My favourite album is "Up up up up up up" (I think that's the right number of up's!), and I think it's a good one to try first. Thanks for adding me to your buddy list, by the way :)
from enchancea :
I dont want to be a CNA but it seems to be the only option right now. I cant go to college and I need a job where I can get a decent amount of money (at least $600 a month) because I bills to pay.
from kitchenwitch :
I know! Isn't he sweet! He bought me Underworld... Which I wanted to see, but turned out kinda crappy...
from p-brain :
Aaahh-HAA! A buddylist. Cool. =)
from enchancea :
Wow that sounds truly amazing. I really need to start meditating again
from p-brain :
See. I told you you could do it. // I lost yet another item on ebay because I had forgotten about it. eBay didn't list the item as being watched although I had asked it to. But then I found something even better. 17 Tatu posters. I WILL HAVE THEM. The price is high already. Only one bid though. I'm awaiting the shipping fee. When I get it I'll calculate a reasonable max price. I'm a nutter, I know.
from enchancea :
Beautiful layout
from raen :
Well, I love the new layout and hope you don't get rid of it too soon. :)
from coalescence :
Don't worry, templates can be scary! But it does look better, and I agree that it is a little dark. Sorry for keeping you in suspense with my dream, but I finished typing it so you can go check it out now! Sorry for breaking it up, but my mom called.. you know how that is, So I had to finish up real fast so I could finish talking to her on the cell phone. So, enjoy. :)
from enchancea :
Number 1 is something I have to tell myself everytime I get money lol And for once I didnt vow to exercise more this year. Only to yoga and that was for my back because Im having alot of pain in it.
from thehour :
having pets is like having children. they take lots of care and love and need to be taught right from wrong.. i don't understand why people ask about the children thing either. if you aren't ready, you aren't ready. and you need to be ready to have children. it's fucking hard work! and i also know what you mean about the new houses. my sister is living in her second recently-built home and they are boring. the walls are thin and shitty, there is absolutely no character to them. very stark... many of the doorways that don't have doors are just holes in the wall... no trim or molding to make them look distinct in any way. did i mention the walls are shit? paper thin and made of some material not quite as sturdy as cardboard. people just don't make things well anymore. and about the tori cd... i haven't bought it. nobody i know has it to borrow it. but i'm definitley intrigued. once i get to spend some money on me, i'm definitely looking into it. thanks for the info!
from raen :
Thank you! Makes me feel good. :)
from thehour :
wow, thanks for the review. it was great! i hope you are having fun on your trip!
from raen :
Have a safe trip and a great time!
from thehour :
yes please send me what you think of the new tori cd. i'd love an opinion on it. seems there was something else i was going to mention to you but i can't think of it... must be old age. :)
from p-brain :
Have a nice trip! We'll miss you. =)
from enchancea :
Well thank you. And if you ever want a custom layout done Ill be more than happy to do one for you
from thehour :
yay for xanex and liquor! :) damn, you got my dream xmas gifts! substitute a gamecube for the gameboy and it would have been perfect! it's cool that your family knows you well enough (and accepts your... umm... eccentricities??) to buy you stuff like that. my family thinks i'm just a bit off and buys me things they think i should have. or they give me money :) anyhow... how's that tori amos cd? i haven't heard any of it yet and try to listen before buying. oh... and thanks for the birthday wishes!
from p-brain :
So we are advancing in the land of diaries, are we. Buying and trading new ones. Interesting. I've never done that. As for your hand-on-hip-pose... you made me laugh a lot. Are you sure you're not hiding a Sweetie in there somewhere because that's what she would have done. Anyway...*grins*...You're cool. Putting up with any unexpected rants from me deserves a medal. =)
from raen :
Would you like to have "ablacksun.diaryland.com?" Seriously, I have no time for it and people rarely post there. If you want it, I'll email you the password. After that, you can do whatever you want with it, it'd be yours. You can change the password, scrap the layout, delete all the entries, whatever. If you'd like to keep its current layout, I'll continue to host all the pics, free of charge (well, it might be cool if there was a little line somewhere that said "layout by Raen" with a link to my diary :D but I wouldn't demand it). If you need help changing up any html, such as removing the line of code that allows anyone to make an entry, I'll give ya a hand. Anyway, I just wanted to offer it to you first before I made a "public offer" and gave it to the first person who responded. And hey, you'd have 11 favorites already. ;) Let me know, k?
from thehour :
i wouldn't say 'enjoy' is the word i was thinking of for that particular part of the entry. horrified... maybe. :) and no, i never did find that envelope. oh well... sometimes we need to keep our 'little friends' happy. and i do know what you mean about feeling jealous for friend time. i have felt similarly in the past.
from p-brain :
This I've copied from the Page Source of your diary. But I've corrected the Mood thing & the Center image thing. You can copy this and paste it in your html area: <img SRC =" http://datura93.diaryland.com/images/bizarreself4.jpg" border = 0 align="center"> <body BGCOLOR="#09035C" TEXT="CCCCFF" LINK="white" VLINK="white"> </P><P>Mood: </a>Sentimental //...why is there a </a> after mood? You don't have a link there. That's what it means. End Of Link. Hey. Tell you what. Tell me what you would like your current layout to look like and I'll help you. I can e-mail it to you when I'm done. I can resize the image for you too if you like ... or you can do that yourself. Just add Width= [amount of pixles] Height= [amount of pixles] and it will be smaller. You don't need to buy a book. You need good website pages (look in my Link list at PB2). Once you've started with the little things you can move on to other things. I did that two years ago. I knew nothing and now I know enough to make my own layout - even if it looks a bit simple. =)
from p-brain :
I don't like the original song but tatu makes an excellent, not that different, version of it. I guess it's their way of singing/screaming that makes it good. I saw someone selling the Jane Magazine on ebay but I didn't think it was worth it. Under $1 for the mag and then another 3-5 dollars for the shipping. If the seller had more mags then that'd be fine. Maybe you should take it easy on the Tatu front until you've heard the cd. I wouldn't want to give you all these hopes only to hear a "weeeeell, it's...not really what I'd expected". If you ever find Tatu articles or pictures please let me know. I'll buy them from you. Including shipping costs! =)
from thehour :
ewww.. the bologna sandwich thing?? i <i>was</i> eating some soup, and now it's sprayed all over my monitor. i feel sorry for the lady. and the person that had to do the discovering!
from p-brain :
True. Oh so VERY true. *blushes* I saw a video clip last year. A commercial clip for "200 km/h..." on tv, and they showed the kiss, naturally. I was like "Heeeey! Did I really see that." So keept my eyes open for the video. I came to like "All the things she said" and "Not gonna get us" from this 15 second clip. And now... well. Ye know. Now I even have a Russian dictionary! It's really fun. I've won 7 items and now I have to see if I get everything or if anyone decides to be an arsehole. One single and Tatu's cd is on their way. Exciting!! =) Tatu IS very energetic. But I think the Russian cd is more energetic than the English. Ooooo, they do an excellent version of "How soon is now?" the theme song of Charmed. Thumbs up.
from p-brain :
Have you ever bid and won 7 things in less than a week? You should get one of the Russian cds. There are a few songs that they haven't released in English ("Robot", "Ya tvoj vrag", "Ya Tvoya ne pervaya" to name a few). Let me know when you've listened to the cd. I'd love to know what you think of it.
from p-brain :
Yeah, the English has "Nas ne dogonyat" and "Ya soshla s uma" too. I bet you got your hands on the Limited. It has a poster with the girls in nightgowns. I got hooked on ebay pretty bad. Wait until I tell the story from yesterday. Whooo. I got handsweat! =D I'm not that great with my guitar. I play for fun. What I know I've learnt on my own. I just wish my fingers could loosen up a bit.
from p-brain :
Congrats! I hope you're not going to be disappointed. One of the English ones?! I personally prefer when they sing in Russian. I'm so proud of myself. I found the chords to "Mal'chik-Gey" in January, and I've learnt to play it on my guitar. Took me about a month. I also "made up" the intro by listening to the song. Impressed my cousin, it did. He's been playing guitar for like 6 years. I'm on my 3d. It's one of my favourite songs. That one and "30 minutes". Speaking of winning. I beat the crap out of one bidder yesterday. I found four singles (record style) from Texas (the Scotish band) and I was in the lead until it was about 15 minutes left. I seriously freaked when I was outbid. I even ran to the tv to check the info pages for the rate of the British Pounds compared to the Swedish Crown. But I won. With only four minutes left I placed my last bid! Cost me nearly $20 but I'm happy. =) There's a bunch of Tatu magazine clippings too. I really hope I get those. Bri'ish clippin's. =)
from p-brain :
6th in row. Wow. =) If you want to know who Sweetie is go to moony68. I don't talk about her much because I don't want to flash it. Besides, her mother wouldn't be too thrilled if she knew what we've talked and talk about. *arches eyebrows*
from p-brain :
Hiya...again. I just want to say two...no three things. 1. I made it through the "101" list! You sound like "my" Sweetie - only 10 years older than her. 2. If you ever need (amateur) html help I'm here. 3. I'm really really sorry I outbid you. =D
from p-brain :
But there's another one. I'm sorry I didn't see it before I bid on "yours". *huge grin* I am sorry. I did what I always do. Act first and think secondly.
from p-brain :
Arrrgh. I wanted that one. They had it at Russianbeat.com but I was too lazy and now it's gone. I'm not sure it had 2 vids though. I wish I could get my hands on the video to "Prostye Dvizhen'ya" though. It's said that Yulia is faking(?) a mastrubation. I wouldn't know. Have never seen it. Maybe I should go to ebay and have a look. =)
from p-brain :
Hiya. =) Tatu has made two cds only; in Russian & English (200 Po Vstrechnoj & 200 km/h in the wrong lane). The Russian cd comes in 2 different versions; one black (police photo) and one white cover. They're basically the same. Different order of the songs that's all. Now... the English cd comes in thousands of versions depending on where in the world you live. I suggest you get your hands on the Limited Edition of "200 km/h..." It includes the song "Ne Ver', Ne Bojsya" and one dvd with a 25 min documentary and a poster. Even if you're not interested in the dvd and poster - "Ne Ver' Ne Bojsya" is definitely worth it. There is, however, a second version of the song that is MUCH BETTER, but then you have to search the mp3 places for it. I don't even know what the remix is called. If you don't like "extreme" electronic music - skip the Russian cd. The songs are more electronic on that one than on the English cd. Watch out for burnt copies though. Most of the time they include songs that aren't even made by Tatu. If you find "Lish' Tebya" GET IT! It doesn't matter who made it. It's so nice. A very sexy beat. I personally hope Tatu made it. =D "Krik" is another of my favourites. An instrumental song which gives the impression of flying over open fields. You can go to my Tatu Section if you like and have a look. I've listed the songs (lyrics section) and the cds I have. Pics of what they look like and what songs are on them. Thanks again for the comment in your profile. It means a lot. =)

no... didn't find the envelope. and i have gone completely crazy looking for it. i've pretty much decided that the gremlins used it to hold their annual autumn bonfire. i'm glad you like the diary. feel free to lurk anytime. i'm not one for hiding things. (which is good because apparently i wouldn't be able to find them once hidden.)
from thehour :
thanks for adding me to your favs! i'll probably drop in from time to time. oh... and i love the 'fuck it' factor. don't we all use that? you just gave it a nifty name! (which i shall be adopting.) ;)
from raen :
I thought you'd never return! :) Good luck and may you update more than I do. ;)
