from tattodnanny :
Hey, email me! I seem to have misplaced your email addy and were supposed to have coffee at some point in the festivities. I would have gotten up w/ you sooner, but by the time I got back from CT I was deathly deathly ill, and once I got better my little brother was in town and was involved visiting w/ him. But the schedule has cleared up some, and I promised you coffee, so get up w/ me.
from anonadada72 :
I've been off-line for a while, so I'm belatedly reading some of these entries...I'm not sure what the deal was, but I hope things are looking brighter in your corner of the world. Keep your chin up. :)
from anisettekiss :
I'm taking full responsibility for "another reason for the yak" But you should know VERY well that it is ALWAYS important. Got it?
from anonadada72 :
Ooohh...some Jorod fic! I'm looking forward to reading it. Unfortunately I'm swamped with bad guys of all sorts at work, so I won't have any reading time for a while...as soon as I can, though, I'll read and (I'm sure) enjoy. Thanks for sharing your work. Also, I hope things in your part of the world are looking brighter lately. :)
from aigre-douce :
I'm really sorry to hear that. How old is your grandmother's former husband?
from anonadada72 :
I'm so sorry for what you and your family are going through right now. I wish I had more to offer. Know that you're in my thoughts and I hope things get better soon.
from avataroftiff :
You're right about the Resident Evil! My god, yes. To make it worse, on the advice of a friend who loves horror, I watched this gross flick called In My Skin, about a chick who cuts, skins, and eats herself. After it was over, I looked at my roommate's closed door with a bit of apprehension.
from anisettekiss :
LOL. She may look rusty, but all she needs is some lubrication and she's as good as new.
from anonadada72 :
I hope 2005 is a lot easier on you than 2004 has been...better yet, I hope the new year brings you happiness, peace, and love.
from aigre-douce :
Thanks a lot . . . I definitely teared up. But I'm confused . . . what exactly happened to the gift? Did he kill all those kids? Happy Boxing Day. Love, Lauren
from avataroftiff :
"where do you go when no one wants you, or even wants to help you? what do you do when the people that say they love you don't?" You come here, my friend. You tell us what you can't tell them. We give you love. You give us skunk poetry...lol :)
from avataroftiff :
"...feelings linger like the smoke rising from spent sparklers and they carry the fragrance, the heat, the memory of what was so bedazzling that you cannot ever just let it go completely." That's beautiful. Thanks for proving to me that I'm not alone.
from anisettekiss :
HOW the hell do you do that!?!!! Your entry totally has a point and comes full circle...you ALWAYS do that.
from avataroftiff :
lol - "freaky, uncomfortable compliments" are the best ones, and the most honest, so thanks! I loved the drunken entry...hope you had a great Thxgvng.
from perryburns :
wow! i just woke up and here i am. and i must tell you that finding a note from you is even better than feeling the sun's rays against my cheeks. i thank you for that. it made my day (when it barely even started yet?). *chuckles*
from perryburns :
i just found my way here today. wanting to put at least one entry in my "favorite diaries" i hurriedly picked one and read. just how lucky i am that i found yours! at first attempt! no, no, i don't want to think that everyone here writes like you do -- i, for one, don't. now i know for sure that when i go to this site, instead of posting an entry, i'll be looking first for your new ones. i can't wait to read more!
from nixtress :
Happy Thanksgiving.
from anisettekiss :
Who gave you permission to fill out MY survey?? You should have known I don't like you the way you are. You DO need to get in shape. I want to be able to set my scolding coffee mug on your stomach by Valentine's day. Got it?
from anisettekiss :
...I can't believe you quoted Kid Rock...
from anisettekiss :
LOL! I am STILL catching up with ALL my emails...ugh. I JUST founf my password to your diary... xoxo
from avataroftiff :
Hi! Thanks for your note. I've been bad about updating, as well. I'm about to add an entry now. I always feel better after my diary session.
from avataroftiff :
I love that poem L.A.M. Beautiful imagery. I've read it a few times.
from anisettekiss :
Your diary makes me smile.
from avataroftiff :
Thanks for your note! I'm sorry I won't get to read any more of your personal stuff, cuz I loved reading it. I think most people don't realize how interesting their lives are. But I look forward to seeing the changes - I love stories and poems. So I'll keep reading.
from anisettekiss :
I'm prsying this will be the hottest water I will ever wade... I feel like shit...just plain shit. How am I going to do this without my Dad??
from anisettekiss :
Well, I said I'd give you a compliment too... I truly think your mind is AWESOME!!
from anisettekiss :
*sigh* Thank you for my note. I loved it!
from tattodnanny :
To the best of my knowledge, that tour was broadcast at the BEGINNING OF IT (an odd choice, but hey, whatever) and she is actually still on that tour. From what I saw of the concert, which btw was not on A & E but on network, NBC if I recall, is pretty much the same, and she spoke quite frankly about it being her farewell tour, and the dates on the shirts seem to confirm that. Not that I care. I change my mind 20 times a day. It must be really nice to be able to be so consistent that you can get upset whenever anybody changes their mind. and making money? Shit, it's the American way, nothing wrong w/ that. (though I will admit to refusing to see "A New Nightmare" cuz they had claimed that freddy was dead and then made another movie. But, since I make no claims to consistancy prefering as previously stated the view of the American Romantics on the subject, I can even live w/ the fact I did that and now don't care when people change their minds about stuff. Though on this subject (the farewell tour), I maintain that you are misinformed.and I'll take self worship over self doubt anyday.
from aigre-douce :
Good entry.
from tattodnanny :
From the 13 year old,where else? Of course, the 13 year old was confirmed by the HT website. and, no, I don't find it particularly odd. This blighted city needs another restaurant like I need more holes in my ears. (Not that we won't get more restaurants and I won't put more holes in my ears, but they are a bit superflous at this point.)
from aigre-douce :
DUDE! JAMES AND I RENTED THAT MOVIE LAST NIGHT!! HOW WEIRD IS THAT?! I liked it, too. While corny, it was just too funny and interesting not to watch. Those special effects were really cool, too. And of course, I loved the boy/girl storyline. I want a girlfriend that puts patches and stickers on my shoes!! Er, I mean. . . Ahem. Gotta go. :D
from aigre-douce :
I'm sorry sweetie. Apparently you work with nothing but assholes. You work the fucking night shift! Of course you're going to occassionally fall asleep, it's normal! You're a human, you need sleep. Not only are you a human, but you're a person, too. I'm sorry the people you work with suck so much. They sound like they never grew out of their highschool cattiness. And you are right, we wouldn't have Ray Bradbury, Einstein, or any other great people if there was nobody 'weird'. Rest easy and sleep well.
from anisettekiss :
Where the hell have you been? I have needed your friendship more than ever. You are seriously starting to suck. Please stop. It doesn't suit you. I can't wait to tell you what my Father gave to ma as a present - you'll juice your pants. I promise. ;)
from anisettekiss :
Are you talking about my compliment, lovey?? I down play everything.
from anisettekiss :
Are you cheaper than a pack of gum?
from anisettekiss :
I take full credit for your wanderlust. I also am SO proud of your ability to recognizing when something needs to happen in order to change. I mean, it takes a keen individual to want more exciting 'chapters' in their life.
from anisettekiss :
I'm at Rachels computer right now and wanted to see that you updated. You did. Thank you. Your words grow more and more gorgeous the more I get to know you. xoxo
from anisettekiss :
Yes. Do tell Joseph. What kind of piercing.
from aigre-douce :
What kind of piercing?
from anisettekiss :
I'm beaming to find myself in your entry today...don't you think it's about time you update your comment about me? I'm thinking something along the lines of me being The Bitch.
from anisettekiss :
Wow. I look like a note whore. Look at all the notes I left you. 'Told you something was wrong with my brain. ;)
from anisettekiss :
Bah na na na na na, You say it's your BIRTHDAY. Bah na na na na na, it's my Birtthday too yeah. . . you get the idea. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! Warm thought coming your way.
from anisettekiss :
*scoff* You can't DO that. WHat did you get!???
from anisettekiss :
*chuckle* Fall in love or cry? No, you don't know. I will tell you. Do both.
from anisettekiss :
Do you check your notes???? Let's find out...
from anisettekiss :
I have a question about Evil Dead. How do you think they shot the opening scene?
from anisettekiss :
EEEK! Your note to me made me squeal like a girl on a swing. Push me higher?
from anisettekiss :
Okay. THAT gave me a giggle. Sometimes writers DO think. ;)
from anisettekiss :
Okay, so I read your entry earlier this morning because I saw you have updated since I've been here. I just stopped in to read it for the second time. You deserve to know that.
from anisettekiss :
Mmmm Gorgeous. Thank you for the entry - I'm taking full responsibility.
from anisettekiss :
Yes. Yes. Yess. I can't give you my email here, where anyone can see it. What we can do is this: Go to my diary and add a comment. Enter your email addy and I can send you a response. Sound good?? Good.
from anisettekiss :
You must get published. I need an entire volume of your writing.
from anisettekiss :
WHOAH! I just noticed Snow Crash on your book list. I am impressed. wow...
from anisettekiss :
*scoff* Speaking of tease...
from anisettekiss :
Ah...I just read your entry and you are breaking my heart. I truly dream that I will meet someome who loves me the way you love her.
from anisettekiss :
I adore the Beatles. I recommend "The Love You Make" and "The Playboy interviews with John and Yoko" It was written right before John was killed. Both are beautiful and honest.
from anisettekiss :
Ah, and by the way... I saw Dream Theater in concert with Queensryche. The concert was a pure, religious experience.
from anisettekiss :
He sneaks behind my back and adds me as a favorite. Just for that...
from anisettekiss :
That's okay. You should stop in more often and tease me.
from sixweasels :
Hey, just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you, even if I haven't said hello in a while.
from aigre-douce :
Was your dad in Vietnam? Oh, that counted enough to have a memorial!! I'm sorry, I know that's hard. *Hugs*, Lauren
from aigre-douce :
Get a Gold account, lock up the older entries, and change.
from sixweasels :
Snow in April IS magical, no matter the amount. I'm glad you got to see it. Hugs.
from nixtress :
Happy Friday.
from nixtress :
Where did you go? Happy Easter, you non-updater you.
from aigre-douce :
you need to update, and i MEAN now!
from aigre-douce :
try this on for size: this was the zombie's movie opening weekend. passion's been out for about a month. food for thought. had they come out at the same time, passion would've crucified dawn of the dead's ass.
from aigre-douce :
I'm sorry that there's so much bad news at once. I hope everything goes well, and when I'm forced to go to church this evening, I'll pray for your family. Hugs, Lauren
from candora :
It was horrible, the torture, the destruction, the devastation (the bullshhhh), but somehow I made it through to deliver this: This is a Happy Valentine's Day wish for you. It may arrive late due to cosmic radiation, faulty wiring, sun spots, or evil. It is no less sincere though. It would be good if you could laugh at the excuse cuz there is not any excuse really, no one was tortured in the sending of this Valentine. There is sincerity, that is real. Hope you are enjoying life :)
from firemind :
Humour helps in the toughest situations. Hang in there.Peace.
from anonadada72 :
Your grandfather will remain in my thoughts and prayers. (((Jorod))) Hugs to you as well. I hope everything goes well for your grandfather and that the family is on their best behavior.
from nixtress :
My thoughts are with you. I hope it all goes well.
from aigre-douce :
I was going to ask what Cedars Sinai was, but then decided to look it up first...that's not funny.
from sixweasels :
I'll be keeping your grandfather in my thoughts. Big hugs to you.
from aigre-douce :
Way to go on not getting on AIM while updating. :( It's cool, though. I wanted to give out Valentines this year, but really, the only people I'd give them to are online, hence the e-cards. It's cool, I'm not offended.
from anonadada72 :
Excellent! .:passing jorod a roll:. ;~)
from sixweasels :
I don't know the situation, but I'm thinking of you lots. I can tell you're hurting, and I hope that time brings healing.
from anonadada72 :
I can't get to my email until tomorrow. Noticed you edited though. Sometimes the cathartic release is enough, then you can tear up the page, so to speak. In any event, I hope your sleep brought you some rest and peace, if not the answers, you were needing. Ciao, querrido!
from aigre-douce :
I liked your list. Way to go on the *new* comment I have in your profile, ahahahha. Ohhhh, you're so funny. ;) ;) Missed you this week. And I WILL email you asap about all the things for your diary, as soon as I can find it all. I do like your new profile, as well. I'm proud of you. More later.
from anonadada72 :
I did your list thing. Thanks. :~)
from anonadada72 :
1/27/04, 6:50PM: A quote for you, dear Jorod: "Yet it is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes comes to the top." (Virginia Woolf). I think I've read enough to be able to say, I know what you're living, because I've lived it too. My advice, heed the man in your dreams. And if you want to chat, you now know where to find me. ~Jess.
from anonadada72 :
Thanks for the note. That bar was like a horrible version of trendy hell. I'm hoping to have much of this work done this week, and then be able to resume my regularly scheduled life. As for exercise, I think for women and men alike it has the added bonus of increasing your libido. Maybe chuck and christie would sell more machines if they emphasized that rather than lowered cholesteral levels? ~Jess.
from aigre-douce :
I thought you said Naked Lunch was a BAD movie??
from aigre-douce :
Congrats on life looking up! And no, tatnan doesn't count b/c she's already on my buddy list. Try again. :)
from anonadada72 :
I almost forgot, kudos on the positive changes and the work-related victories.
from anonadada72 :
1/24/04, 4:35PM: Thanks for the note and the advice. I've always thought fantasies were fair game, but maybe you're right in this instance. And, like I said, my previous experience mixing sex and friendship was not a pleasant one. Maybe it's better just not to play with fire. How the hell do you banish a fantasy, though? Ay, the perils of an overactive mind. Anyway, I can't wait to read the story. Let me know when you've got it done, and I'll give you my email address. Thanks, the idea of an upcoming Jorod story is a bright spot in my otherwise drab weekend. :~)
from anonadada72 :
oh, geez. I just re-read that note and realized that it could come across as harsh. If it does, I'm sorry. I meant no snarkiness. (Any resididual snarkiness is 100% attributable to the mess that I'm working on, and not you or your post.) All I meant to say is that we always hold the keys to our self-constructed prisons . . . although I fully recognize that knowing that and being able to actually do something about are two different things. Sometimes its just beyond us to be able to use those keys. Ok, this probably stopped making sense with "I'm sorry." I'll stop now. But I'll give you a cheery smile to make up for my unitentional snarkiness. :~)
from anonadada72 :
There is an up side to self-constructed prisons: we are both guard and guarded. In otherwords, we hold the keys to our own prison doors.
from aigre-douce :
I was found out at 11:45ish PM. B/c when you leave a comment (I left two, anonymously) on LJ, it emails the person saying you commented. Unfortunately, the first comment I made, I did it with my fuckwhatyaheard lj, and I went back and deleted it, but too late, it had already emailed him. And when he asked if I was 'Emily', I couldn't stop laughing, thus giving myself away. I am a terrible liar, but he still enjoyed it. Dammit, and had I thought of it, I could have checked his email and deleted that. Oh well. Joke's on me. But it was damn funny when he called me asking me if I'd seen it, and listening to him freaking out over it.
from aigre-douce :
Merci *beacoup.
from anonadada72 :
This is probably not the reaction you were looking for, but the idea of you with a paint sprayer, sporting a shiny new layer of head-to-toe blue made me laugh out loud (and made the coworkers wonder what the hell was wrong with me). But really, your blue man only struck me as appealing because I've been stuck in the office for so damn long, that a blue blow-up is actually starting to sound like a social life. As far as Charlie Brown goes, he may not have the in your face sex appeal of a Johhny Depp or LOTR's Aragorn (latest fantasy revealed), but, there's a lot to be said for soul and sensitivity and just plain goodness. To the right eyes, those Charlie Brown traits can be pretty damn sexy, even without the blue tinted glasses. ;) ~Jess.
from anonadada72 :
Ha! Thanks for both the funny dumb criminal story and the new comment in your profile. As for the first, I can actually respect (to some degree) the intelligently executed crime, but the dumb ones get only my derision and (at least one day) my prosecutorial wrath. As for the comment, geez that was nice, but, unlike Ally, this real woman has curves. ;) ~Jess.
from cdghost :
hey there stumbled across your diary and enjoyed what i read, take care--thecdghost
from aigre-douce :
Which redhead?
from nixtress :
I've felt similarly while doing my job as well. When they bring in the kids who've been touched by monsters, teens who've lost their way, parents there to collect what remains of their child's life...there're lessons that only experiences can teach you.
from anonadada72 :
1/14/04, 2:37PM: Ok, I have my hard-assed moments, but deep down, I'm the soft-hearted sap who cries at Disney films. And, that being the case, I really hate to see people who I have come to like and appreciate for the good reading they give, feeling so down. So, you'll just have to forgive me if this is too forward . . . but I just had to give you this cyber-hug. (((Hugs to Jorod74))) True, not as good as the real thing, but it's what I had to give. If you were a woman, I'd also suggest drowning your sorrows in a pint of Ben & Jerry's, but I don't know if that works as well for men. Really, though, a sudden onslaught of lonliness is horrible. I, too, know this from experience. I'd much rather have the flu. I hope your day gets better. ~Jess.
from anonadada72 :
1-13-04, 6:46PM: Thanks for the formal welcome and the great read. That was exactly what I needed before facing another late night at the office. :) And, really, I think you've created my hero . . . I wanna be Maxine (or, at the very least, have a big, blue man like her). ;) I enjoyed it . . . thanks. ~Jess.
from aigre-douce :
wtf?
from aigre-douce :
Yeahhh Ludacris! Wait...Big Chain Records skit...Which albums did you buy? I thought that was only on the Disturbin Tha Peace cd. Hmmmmm. I really do need the unedited CD. Damn. Congrats, all the same. Aww, your first Ludacris.... :) Obviously you are talking about me concerning 'subtlety'. Pfffffttttt to you!
from anonadada72 :
I just picked up The Princess Bride, (the book), too. Unfortunately, work is sure to consume just about every waking hour for the next couple of weeks. Hopefully, I'll be able to get to it sometime before February. And, believe me, there's nothing sexier than the phrase, "as you wish." Happy reading! ~Jess.
from aigre-douce :
PS - I JUST missed you being online. Damn. Get back already or I'll have to clean the house like I'm supposed to.
from aigre-douce :
I'm not trying to feminize you! Those are just some of the best books ever. Okay, they are a little feminist, but. Yes, but the rap does even it out some. I hope. I'm so proud you got the books! You should have seen the huge grin that spread across my face in surprise. How's the music shopping going? Haha. I don't let you rest at all.
from anonadada72 :
Glad to see you didn't stay away for long. I, too, have had my share of car-wreck-like-wonder at others' conception of marriage lately. Try to not let it become demoralizing. :) ~J.
from anonadada72 :
Great gods, what kind of a bleeding hear sap am I?!? Although I don't know you, my heart broke just a little for you after reading your last entry. Whatever the situation and however it's resolved, I wish you love and peace.
from anonadada72 :
Thanks for the Dland welcome. Sounds as if you made those kids happy, and that's what it all about. Even though you're no longer donning the red suit, I hope your xmas was a good one.
from candora :
I really must come here more often, you are so much fun to read... hope your merry was/is happy and your new year is your best ever :)
from aigre-douce :
Ahahahahahaha! Bikini trimmers are for trimming the pubic hair that may poke out of bikini bottoms, like around the front inner thigh. Does that make more sense?
from nixtress :
I hope you have a good Christmas, and a safe and happy New Year's.
from aigre-douce :
Bet you didn't know I played the drums, did you?
from aigre-douce :
Why don't they offer deadly pills as another death-row choice??
from sixweasels :
After spouting off about how thankful I am for my friends, I came here and read your entry about Tatnan's surgery and it just made me all warm and fuzzy to know she's got such a good friend in her corner. You rock.
from tattodnanny :
thank you for such kind words. I'm feeling pretty ok, a bit woozyfied, but ok. We won't know if "The surgery was a succuss" in the way I hope untill the next monthly attack of Eveitis. The movie? Worth every second. Well, maybe the end..well, the part before the credits, dragged a little. but other than that. go see it. now.
from aigre-douce :
You did your profile!! Wow! That cheered me up some. :) It was great talking to you. Anytime, mister. Now, you have to email me the "man-made" story!!
from aigre-douce :
You, my dear, are preaching to the choir. My heart has been screaming the same thing for weeks, and my eyes well up because it isn't so.
from tosborne :
So, "Colombo's telethon epileptic expletive" (try to say THAT three times fast)--or something thereabouts--means "Swimmer with a big penis," eh? Well, since the ancient thing was quite static (as still as the stone its shape was memorialized in), it might be hard to understand how it worked dynamically, but I wonder if maybe it wasn't a multi-purpose evolutionary development, a penis-and-propulsion device, possibly used sort of like a flagellum ("hey, as long as you are going to be waving that thing about, maybe you can also use it in locomotion"), or maybe (in the more advanced models) some kind of jet propulsion device--"sneak on in there, cum quite forcibly, and then instantaneously get the hell outta there," a nearly simultaneous "attack and retreat" technique, as it were. There could even be an over-spill of an inky cloud of sperm that, squid-like, could provide cover during a life-saving, enemy-confounding retreat. The evolutionary possibilities for such an organ are endless! Anyway, I love the fantasy of combing the SWIMMING and the PENIS into the very same structure. The little guy might have been eternally horny, and yet ever-satisfied, all at the same time!
from tattodnanny :
Aright, first off, it's not just the big green button. To get the tv/dvd player to work in conjuntion, you have to push the "video" button on the remote. So there, I'm not a complete moron. 2. How was I supposed to know that some testostrone high fool in my house had unplugged my dvd player to pay video games? 3. Yes, you did indeed get a spit-take, but you misspelled bi-yotch. I would also like to point out that you would have been unable to make said joke if I had not made you unaware of santorum's frothy ickiness in the first place...and 5. Never discuss your bowels in any way shape or form in guest book, notes, or any other medium which I may encounter. ever. ewwww.
from nixtress :
Yowza. Just..yowza. I want a guy who wants me like that....
from tattodnanny :
nope. Not self induced.
from nixtress :
I hope you have a good Thanksgiving. Stuff yourself silly and sleep lots.
from aigre-douce :
Oh my god, I laughed soo hard about the local tv stations bit. You are right! Perhaps you should send the station one of those lizards, posing as a kid and be like, "When my lizard grows up, he wants to be a news anchor, so I thought it would be nice if I gave him to you and you can show him how" or something equally clever (haha). Of course, leave a false return address on it. That would be funny. At least, I would laugh. As for the old lady, that must just mean you're really pretty, haha.
from sixweasels :
I want a Fuckyou lizard too! Actually, they probably eat weasels or something, so maybe not.
from nixtress :
Keep in mind, sad as it sounds, that there are women in the world with mustaches and five o'clock shadow as well. I see more than my fair share at work, big old hairy faced women who smell like they've never bathed in their lives...ok. I'm even making myself nauseous now. Point: maybe it was an honest mistake! Maybe she has hairy-faced relatives :P
from aigre-douce :
If it is any consolation, which I doubt it is, but lately I cry at anything. Really. Tonight I was watching Eloise at Christmastime with my family, and out of absolutely nowhere, felt my eyes brimming with tears. It wasn't even a sweet or sad scene. I now cry at absolutely nothing. I don't go through Daleville often, but if I get the chance, I will do as you requested, haha. Are you a nurse or a doctor?
from aigre-douce :
That's awesome that you know that, though. Yes, do remember what kind of gas that is so next time that subject comes up, I can act all bored and spout said (memorized) information you told me, hahahhaa. I don't ever have time to watch tv....perhaps I should, though. Just the Discovery Channel, though. That's super neat. You win.
from aigre-douce :
Wow, that does seem to make a lot of sense. Where did you get that?
from aigre-douce :
explain! explain! the only thing i can come up with is there's a ridiculously magnetic power field under it. yes, let's hear it!
from sixweasels :
Now I know why I limit my anatomy discussions in my journal to descriptions of the various assholes in my life ... I'm trying not to be evil : ).
from nixtress :
Nothing like opening up a virtual cocktease. Hmm...
from aigre-douce :
Ha! I KNEW it was that coffee shop. I'm so smart. Bahahhahaa. I worked at the one in Enterprise, though.
from aigre-douce :
Ha! I KNEW it was that coffee shop. I'm so smart. Bahahhahaa. I worked at the one in Enterprise, though.
from aigre-douce :
Yeah, sex in a coffee shop..... Actually, I used to work in one, till I got fired. Fuck Dakota Coffee Works!! I didn't go to the Peanut Festival this year, how was it?
from nixtress :
Rawr. Vanilla coffee sex.
from sixweasels :
Good God, but you bring words and images to life. I'll be smelling vanilla coffee all night long.
from nixtress :
Ya know, all I want in a companion is someone with a brain, someone with a sense of humor, someone willing to be my equal. I prefer someone who doesn't cheat and someone with the capacity to love my sons almost as much as I do. There are a few other little things here and there, but nothing truly major. I don't really think I'm too picky hmm? And yet they don't seem to grow those types of guys within my radar. Or I'm just not paying attention...
from sixweasels :
Hugs - my beloved great aunt "Fuzzy" died two days before I was heading off on vacation to see her, and I've felt two days too late ever since.
from tattodnanny :
My granny died on January 17, 1988. I lived in Ct at the time, and my parents had moved back to Il. We knew she was going down hill...for christ's sake, she was 93...and for about 2 weeks, I kept asking mom if I needed to come. and she would say, "not yet." one afternoon, she called, and said come now. I left the next day on an amtrak train. I couldn't afford to fly. she died while I was on the way there. You never get over that. Never. Not even when my oldest son was born on January 17, 1991. I know things have been weird and a bit tense, but you have my sympathy. Been there,done that. not fun.

I think you have a handle on the best way to handle it. Please remind me of that every now and again, will ya?
from sixweasels :
Wow - I'm going to come back to that again and again. Thank you, my friend.
from aigre-douce :
I quite enjoyed that, dear sir.
from golfwidow :
Everytime I see chocolate stout, I sort of wonder ... so anyway, I bought a bottle yesterday. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Point: I haven't drunk it yet, but I thought I'd check with you - when I do drink it and review it, would you like a link back for having suggested it? (I ask, because, what if I hate it?) Anyway, let me know.
from nixtress :
At best, my tastes in music and my myriad uses for it can be described as eclectic. My perky day has simmered down to a semi-quiet and contemplative one. It had to come down, as all things do. Still, it's not been a day to complain about overly. Hope you have a great weekend.
from candora :
note to self: remind me to read this more often.
from sixweasels :
Thanks for all the support and words of encouragement. You know Dead Presidents is on my must-see list now, right? But don't worry, I won't do anything psychotic. I AM seriously considering being a phone sex operator though, thanks to another g-book suggestion. I'm just afraid I'd laugh too damn much.
from sixweasels :
I always felt that way when old faculty advisor - an amazing journalist and fiction writer - would compliment me. The praise of someone you admire is worth more than gold.
from sixweasels :
"Weird as hell and able to write about it." That is the ultimate goal, my friend.
from nixtress :
Gosh, you need to get a guestbook. Other than that, just an amen to the apathy entry.
from jorod74 :
note to self: get laid. find inner peace. remind your friends that you are cool. write something in dland...
from sixweasels :
Hey, who knows? It sounds like your sister doesn't know her too well. Maybe the creativity and good quirks are just waiting there to be discovered. And if not, you'll have a good story to tell.
from aigre-douce :
Apparently, we're from the same area. I'll pray for your dad's quick recovery.
from sixweasels :
I'll be thinking about you and your dad tomorrow. Best wishes.
from aigre-douce :
Thanks for your note, I didn't even realize I had one till today. Way to go guestbook notification emails, right? Okay, question: what's Apap? I could, of course, look it up, but that would require no socialization from people I don't know, which always turns out to be interesting. Are you from Alabama?
from nixtress :
The best you can do is exactly as you already are--being there means more than you know. It's why I spend hours with my Grams that she forgets directly after but still remembers somewhere inside.
from firemind :
The Gym- or just more rumblings - this is good. Keep on writing.
from tattodnanny :
If that incident doesn't end up in one of your stories, I may steal it. Too, too, too funny. Actually think I may have somthing cooking for the october meeting. If, of course, I can find the time to write it. HA!
from tattodnanny :
It's a movie quote. Haven't you ever seen "A Christmas Story"? If not, go watch it. Now. and considering the number of toys YOU own, you better stop picking on my new best friend, or I'll bring you back something from there! Like a ball gag.
from candora :
ok, The Ministry of Silly Walks Sent Me, no wait, I mean sent me. I will be contemplating your survey and lunch in a moment, unless my new roommate walks in and interrupts, in which case I will continue at some later time, but time is irrelevent most of the time, especially in this case, except that my answers will be very dependent on my feelings of the moment, so the moment, relevent, time, not so relevent, hope we understand each other now.
from sixweasels :
That tribute to Tatnan made me smile - because that is exactly the kind of person I picture from reading her journal.
from golfwidow :
.:sigh:. Ten out of ten for meaning well, minus several million for having it come back and bite you on the butt. I don't know that this situation is reparable, but if it is, it's not you who needs to do the repair work, but your benighted acquaintance with the impaired common sense skills. The one who, I hope, reads your notes, so he can see that, were he standing in front of me, he'd need to duck before I started smacking him upside his damnfool idiotic skull. With a chainsaw. Yeah. I'm that angry.
from nixtress :
mmmm..so where, exactly, do they sell coffee like THAT? Certainly not in Ohio!
from golfwidow2 :
If my family went on vacation without me? On my birthday? I'd go to their houses and collect all the bills and throw them away. Oopsie.
from gwen-hy-fwar :
Happy Birthday. I know we where supposed to hang out or something, and I'm sorry it didn't work out. also, that sucks about the no-invite vacation...but I love the coffee story So Much!!
from nixtress :
Happy Birthday. Yes they're introspective when there's nothing to distract you from it. Or when you're facing family desertion. However, diary love and good wishes can sometimes take away the sting :P so happy birthday none-the-less.
from sixweasels :
The bad thing about stories is that once you start publishing excerpts, people are hanging on the edge of their seats waiting for Round 2. Compelling stuff, so far!
from golfwidow :
.:mwah:. (Will have to do until the real thing comes along.) Thanks for the peas, love, and carrots. :)
from nixtress :
Began reading you as a result of golfwidow's diary. I finally got around to saying that I'll be back.
from sixweasels :
Thank you. That's beautiful, and it really does mean a lot.
from sixweasels :
Yes, your dad is a hero.
from sixweasels :
Finding the way, that's exactly what I'm doing. Funny how even one day brings a whole new perspective. And you and your Hooters outings? I can just see you collecting stories along with an eyeful, and I just think that rocks. Writers immortalize people a little bit every time they collect a piece of their lives and put it away somewhere for a rainy day at the keyboard. And I don't think there's a much better gift we can give people, you know?
from tuff517 :
Hey there, visiting through Golfwidow. I really enjoyed reading your entries, you ARE so cool.
from golfwidow2 :
Front Page is better than nothing. This is not a recommendation, however.
from golfwidow :
Way to make fun of Orlando Bloom, you.
from tattodnanny :
allrighty, when you get the parody done, email it to me, cuz it goes in my diary...it's a guest entry. No rules, no deadlines...just, you know, in the next week or so.
from tattodnanny :
me, again. This is an official, "Please Will You?" request for you to write a guest entry parodying my diary. feel free to mock my spelling and grammer faux pas, as well as my indelciate choice of subject matter. You will of course, recieve mad pimpage in exchange. thank you for your consideration.
from tattodnanny :
cuz I got's the MAD BULLSHITTING SKILLZZZZ, YO!!!
from tattodnanny :
Well, before I can help, I have to know who it is your wanting to apolise to. I can tell you straight off the bat, a million is over kill. Go for one, heartfelt, sincere one, and then..(this is the tricky part, the part everybody including myself fucks up) let the accept it. then let it go. that's just general stuff, though. I'll talk to you when I see you!
from sixweasels :
The only PC game I play regularly is the Sims, but I have been known to make Sims that look like my "Superboss" and let the others beat the crap out of him. If it keeps you sane and doesn't hurt anyone else, then it can't be a bad thing.
from firemind :
what a ride! your time slot is after my creative - anal- retentia. that way you can whisk me back to reality via your whirlwind. welcome aboard.
from golfwidow :
Yes! Another progressive rocker. I will have an ally. And yes, you gots a way with words. More updates please.
from sixweasels :
Welcome to D-land. The Tatnan is right, you've got the word-gift. Weird to say I enjoyed reading your situation, since the situation itself sounds a bit sucky. Hang in there.
from tattodnanny :
