from discodave :
Have you gone somewhere else or summat? Dxx
from discodave :
Boo. No update for a month. I'm going to sulk now, you just see if I don't. I'm not joking - I really will sulk. I'll STOP breathing and EVERYTHING. Dxx
from scatterproof :
here: ringwormone@yahoo.com
from scatterproof :
well, you had better go before the price jumps up even more! ; how come your diary's locked up now? i hope no one found it who shouldn't have..
from discodave :
Self-absorbed? Don't be silly - you're just saying what you're feeling, which is a sight more than most people here. And you say it well. As for counter-action - I think you'll work out the right way for you and, someday, I'll do the same for me. Self-belief, is all, I guess. Dxx
from discodave :
I'm jealous - I always wanted a Super 8 camera - but I figure you'll make more beautiful films with yours, anyhow. (That's me covering both your newest entry and the one from a couple of days back). Dxx
from lass :
*Waves hand* Old person here, with a collection of Super8 cameras...email me if you want to know where to get film, books, etc.
from discodave :
Can I just add my address, although I know I gave it to you a while back - davefraser40AThotmail.com Dxx
from harri3tspy :
Thanks. And I totally understand. Something happened last week that made me consider locking up myself, but for the moment, anyway, I decided it's a risk I can live with.
from lass :
What Harriet said. If you want to share, email me at lasstress@yahoo.com
from harri3tspy :
I'm sorry to find you're locked. I've been enjoying reading your diary for the last year or so. If you feel like sharing your password, you can e-mail me at harri3tspy At diaryland.com.
from lass :
I'm more of a fatass than a badass, but I appreciate the sentiment anyway. Hee.
from scatterproof :
you should come to myrtle beach. lots of job openings because of tourist season, places to sleep around the boardwalks/hotels and on the beach, just look for "continental breakfast" signs for the hotels. plus miniature golf (/everyone/ loves miniature golf).
from discodave :
So pretty. So, so pretty. Whatever the proof. Dxx
from earthandsky :
I was browsing through d-land..when I found this little haven.Great stuff you have! All your entries are very unique and beautiful!(unlike mine) =(
from discodave :
Nice. I love Tulips - they look like the sort of flowers Willy Wonka would grow - candy for the petals and sherbert and licorice on the inside. Dxx
from discodave :
The appendix is a contrary bastard sometimes. I had appendicitis on the way to Amsterdam (not that I knew that's what it was) and it went away for 2 months before returning with a vengeance. Hope whoever it was is OK. As are you. Dxx
from discodave :
I'm glad and, just so as you know, that's the prettiest thing I've read on here in a long while. Dxx
from discodave :
You have vinyl adorning your walls...sigh. And the dress is pretty too. Dxx
from discodave :
I'm glad you're being selfish again. Dxx
from discodave :
You know, it's really about time for a new template, don't you think? (Actually, I'd prefer an update, but I'm just trying to appeal to your aesthetic sensibilities.) Dxx
from scatterproof :
i was just thinking about those a while ago, pop-up ads being a favorite topic of mine. it's like "just do this one thing for us, and we'll never bother you again!" that's an excellent plan. there's a treehouse in my backyard--it'd be perfect.
from discodave :
Busted are kind of a manufactured (well, more manufactured) British version of Blink 182 or something. They're also one of the most popular bands over here right now. Though I still prefer the Darkness. Dxx
from scatterproof :
not too, but yeah.
from scatterproof :
haha..that happens all the time at this touristy shopping center around here. little kids hold out movie popcorn, get bit (snapped at? pinched?), cry to their parents, and get told ducks don't bite. good thing they don't have teeth.
from scatterproof :
maybe it had some aggressive european brain disease. are you feeling alright?
from discodave :
You did and I know what you mean. I consistently say it's my favourite book and I only bought and re-read it a week or so ago... Fortunately, it's still my favourite book. I've never understood the US grades system, even though it probably makes a hell of a lot more sense than the UK one. Dxx
from discodave :
Isn't that picture Scout and Boo, though? Maybe it's just that I've always had the image of Atticus played by Gregory Peck. And Captain Planet could be a great help right about now, seems like. I've always used ta instead of thank you - it's a little more casual. Dxx
from discodave :
Did I mention I just re-read To Kill A Mockingbird? I love your template all the more, now. And, of course, the photos are great. Dxx
from almostgoldsf :
Found you through Dave. I am enamored of travel and loved your travel photos. Please do post more.
from discodave :
Oops. Happy New Year. (I should have said.) Dxx
from discodave :
Yes. I understand that feeling completely. Shit, though - you really did the Grand Tour, didn't you? Dxx
from discodave :
Nice....So, where did you all go? I want to experience the vicarious thrills of your travelogue tales. Dxx
from scatterproof :
i can't believe you're not dead--but it's a very welcome surprise. amsterdam..awesome! the ducks, not the weed. no, no.. good job not suffocating in the train car, too.;
from lass :
Ooohhhhh...Amsterdam. Lucky you! If you have the time and the money, go see the "boom chicago!" show.
from discodave :
Damn - I thought I was doing well with the colour-by-numbers covered notebook I had... Ah well. I may have to make a corduroy one now to try and compete. Dxx
from i-love-straw :
nutella is beautiful, i tell you.
from discodave :
Heh - glad to hear it. I hope you realise I want long extended email essays about everything you've got up to, don't you? Dxx
from discodave :
I'd love to meet up with you - but it ain't gonna happen. Damn. Hope you're having fun (despite the German keyboards - it took me days to work out the Turkish ones) Dxx
from dry-pavement :
umm. hot.
from discodave :
Shit - you did it? Are you across here now? (I mean across "here" as in europe, obviously). Remember to drop in and say hi if you come anywhere near Scotland. Dxx
from lass :
I've been all Salinger=y the past few weeks because I found a treatment I did in school for "A Perfect Day for Bananafish" and then remembered that he had sent me a note...a note I was careless with and have lost.
from discodave :
Hee - yup - I thought of it as I was trying to think of a HIGHBROW comedic name: Nano...nano...nano-nanu? You get the picture. Glad to see you back, H. Dxx
from nano-nanu :
How you doing, hon? Can we expect another redesign or something? Oh - this is Dave, by the way (I'm moonlighting). Dxx
from discodave :
Not depressing as such (though Anne Frank's house is very moving). I guess it was the time of year we went - it was cold, the canals ice-covered and our hotel overlooked the zoo. It is a very pretty city and there's a hell of a lot of good stuff to see. I really liked it, despite describing it as sad, if that makes any sense? Dxx
from ihavenojokes :
Mmm. Pie.
from discodave :
Heh - nah, it's not that plague-ridden. It can get cold, though. And Amsterdam is very pretty (and kinda sad too). Dxx
from discodave :
Just saying hi, is all. Hi. Dxx
from ihavenojokes :
You like Tomine! I can be nice to you indefinately--which is meant in a wholey complimentary fashion. (Of course but I warn you I'm more of a goose chaser.)
from neptunian :
india because i know so many beautiful indian people, i like to think the beauty is contagious.
from discodave :
This American Life is not something we get over here at all, I don't think. I wish we did now - she sounds cool... Dxx
from discodave :
Being British, I have a bit of ignorance about who some american personalities who haven't made the crossover to the UK actually are. Having done a bit of research however, Sarah Vowell seems pretty damn cool and I'm therefore well pleased with your profile comment. As ever - thanks. And if I had $6000 dollars - I'd be drinking on your porch about now. Dxx
from neptunian :
india! <3
from lass :
Oh my god...you discovered my secret! I AM David Sedaris! Shit. (I wish...)
from discodave :
I was going to say Tanzania, but then I noticed the part at the foot of the India description about the Himalayas... Wow. When is this happening? Dxx
from cdghost :
sweet site!
from discodave :
In that case I'm going to start learning the banjo - for all life's little Deliverance moments... Dxx
from discodave :
I always wanted to learn the harmonica...guess you have an incentive now. Dxx
from upontheroof :
Hey there. I'm returning your hello from yesterday. Give me an IM. My screen name's listed on my profile. Talk to you soon.
from scatterproof :
the test is definitely messing up--you're a ninja. ask anyone. or at least a sumo wrestler.. this school thing is so sudden. they should remind us a month in advance so that it has time to sink in.
from i-love-straw :
i suddenly wonder if that made any sense outside of my brain.
from i-love-straw :
right. the public is someone we don't have to commit ourselves to. at least not with tiny relationship worlds with eyes. maybe that's why.
from i-love-straw :
you and me both, mcgee. what has become of us, eh?
from thatmarygirl :
yeah.
from discodave :
I don't know if the beard would work for you...maybe a goatee - looks more philosophical? Dxx
from i-love-straw :
what! your layout makes me want to walk down the sidewalks to hear my shoes and teeth clicking. maybe some loose change in my pockets.
from discodave :
Keep this one for a while, yeah? It reminds me of a long walk I once took in the haze of Manhattan. I grew a beard to hide my face. Sort of... Dxx
from lass :
Boston stuff posted yesterday. Sorry it took so long.
from discodave :
Sorry you're feeling a little odd (schizo?) - but if it makes you feel better, I'd rather look at your template designs than most other diaries. If I ever feel the need to change mine, I'm giving you a call. Oh - "My heart is a glacier that refuses to melt" - beautifully sad. Dxx
from i-love-straw :
i like this.
from lass :
Gah - this week has been fraught with weirdness and I haven't gotten the Boston stuff posted yet. Tomorrow, I promise.
from discodave :
I'm going to call you that from now if you're not careful... The offer stands, though. Pretty page (again). Oh, and I love the comment - I really need to find a good song title for yours. Dxx
from lass :
I'll post it on my page for ya.
from lass :
Miss Secret, I have your Boston list ready. Do you have email? If not, I can post it for you on my page.
from discodave :
Right - $900 to get to Santa Fe? Fuck that - come sleep on my couch - it'll cost the same and I doubt they'd try and have you extradited. Dxx
from lass :
Jsut back from vacay and working extra hours - I'll get that list to you by the end of the week. How's it going?
from discodave :
So, are you OK? Mentally, as well as physically, obviously. Shit that sounded wrong, that sounds like "so, are you a nut?" Nah, you know what I mean - and if I could I'd bring a comforting tall, cold, alcoholic drink to your porch. Dxx
from lass :
Boston is the coolest. One of my brothers lives near there and one of my nieces is starting at Northeastern in the fall. I can recommend some good, offbeat things to see and do once you get there...if you're interested, that is!
from lass :
I saw your Mom's pic - she DOES look young. Egads. Maybe I should start eating barbequed chicken.
from discodave :
OK, I'll bring the cocktail cherries. Dxx
from discodave :
Your diary reads like Super 8 film of a birthday party everyone still dreams about 20 years later. Jelly(o) and ice-cream. Dxx
from lass :
Yay! I missed you.
from lass :
Dolls are bad and scary.
from lass :
I'm late with this, but have fun at prom. Remember to get drunk enough to puke - it's a tradition.
from discodave :
Glad you think so...typically, I found stuff I should have sent you the evening after posting it away. Next time. Dxx
from discodave :
A little parcel is winging its way towards your distant shore as we speak. Dxx
from discodave :
Finally(!) finished that tape for you - are you still at the same address? Dxx
from discodave :
I wish I could say I have - unfortunately, only the most mainstream and bizarro stuff make it across the atlantic. No Davey and Goliath for me - although stop-motion animation rocks. Ray Harryhausen is a god. Dxx
from blacwynter :
One Glorious Moment : Looking at a green grey panarama of Australian native trees deep in the bushland and discovering the sudden absurdity of somebody you love standing beneath them; wearing a bright red jumper, bright yellow shirt and blue jeans. Defiantly primary colours against the winter air.
from todream :
You write beautifully!
from discodave :
Remind me I have a memory to put on your site, if I may. Dxx
from barbye-gurl :
love your diary
from i-love-straw :
What a lovely old bird you are.
from lass :
I took a peek at the website and will go back later to read...how cool!
from discodave :
Did you mean that to sound quite as coyly dirty as it did? Actually, can I just say I'm impressed that you can write something that sounds dirty in a coy manner. Dxx
from lass :
No mid-life crisis yet...just a severe case of arrested development. It works for me.
from lass :
Librarians make good dates. The guy I refer to as "Frenchie" in my diary is a librarian. Have I left you enough notes lately??!!
from lass :
Old as in 42. But I only look 39 ;P
from lass :
I'm an old nanny.
from discodave :
I like that you say a new nice thing about me every week. How'd the (you know) go? Dxx
from discodave :
I was going to ask you it went on IM, but you vanished as suddenly as you appeared. Damn, elusive, pimpernell. Dxx
from lonelyplace :
i love your diction.
from discodave :
Sounds interesting. Rambly and incoherent are good - you've read my diary, haven't you? Dxx
from discodave :
I so wish I'd seen Arab Strap before they went on this tour - they were playing warm-up gigs in my local. Damn. And damn again, as I can't read your slambook answers on this café computer. Anyway, I really need to get with the writing and mailing thing. Dxx
from discodave :
Remind me, in addition to my long-overdue reciprocal mix-tape, to also include a letter and some of the cigarillos my brother-in-law insists on giving me at every opportunity. Dxx
from lass :
He was a long-time customer of that shop - a few weeks prior to the shooting he had a run-in with the clerk over a cup of coffee, then thought the clerk was purposely over-sweetening his coffee, so he shot him. The motive in short: he was a psycho waiting to blow.
from discodave :
Notes - hur hur. I'll ignore the cigar's freudian connotations to avoid seeming smutty. Light pollution sucks, though. Dxx
from discodave :
Heh - me and my crazy European spelling... Dxx
from discodave :
Thanks for the profile description - you're my favourite diaryland enigma, you know? Dxx
from i-love-straw :
Perhaps it is necessary to divide person into A.- their real self and B.- their dream self, who will usually yell inproper things at the burial of a friend and make liquid out of shadows in the summer and sprout wings. Some think it boring to witness giant unfurling vines the shade of brilliance shoot all up from the ground. But my dream self and my real self think we both want top-to-bottom rainbows to romp about in.
from scatterproof :
hi. :) you should send out mail bombs to those bastards who fired you--or just buy some bread and get the seagulls on your side. nice, nice seagulls..
from lass :
Thanks for the comment. I aims to please.
from discodave :
They gave away your job? Shit...not good. You know what gets me about your entries? Even though they're sad sometimes, the imagery still makes me smile in recognition. Dxx
from discodave :
You should be making films (a cinematographer?). Or writing. Or just...something. Because you would be fantastic. Dxx
from i-love-straw :
I went to a strange little Mexican shop just the other day, you. It was older and the tile was cracked in funny patterns, so all chance of it being the same as yours is entirely non existent. I'll write you a message on the tile in the back left corner just in case.
from discodave :
Well, better than not going at all, I guess...I'll go with you next time, if you fly me over there - that way I can do the whole "my mate fancies you" bit, OK? Dxx
from louveciennes :
I need another favorite diary on my list like I need a hole in the head, but I'm afraid I simply must add you.
from discodave :
Self deprecation? Hmm - one of my most and least favourite things... Who knows, maybe he's the same? Only one way to find out, isn't there? Not nagging - just optimistic for you. Dxx
from opprobrium :
Not really my place, but my vote is you do it. The worst that can happen is he'll say he no. He works in a library so he can't be that much of a dickhead...and if he is, there's other librarys fish swim in.
from discodave :
I wish I knew, I really do - especially in this town, where I don't know anyone who knows someone who knows...you get the picture. Hell, just ask him about the books or something. So long as you DO it. Dxx
from scatterproof :
i believe you. ;
from discodave :
I can't get away from it - I'm intrigued...a gypsy? Dxx
from discodave :
Heh - I've a few on my profile I'm not sure I could say that about, but you I definitely could. Dxx
from lass :
Pointy black witch shoes? You one of them witchin'-type women? By the way, this note is the internet equivalent of a drunk-dial, i.e. I am drunk. p.s. You do not seem scary to me. But then, you should see some of the people I hang around with... *rim shot
from nebulous615 :
How fabulous that you write such tastey words. I'm not sure when or how I "discovered" you, but I've enjoyed reading your entries for some time now.
from lass :
While I don't often mention Twizzlers, they dorank high on the "Lass Personal Food Pyramid".
from i-love-straw :
Gee, that would be tops. Maybe they would bag us broken cookies and we could eat them with spoons and play scrabble in the middle floor when we got home.
from scatterproof :
fantastic..people should sacrifice hamsters to you.
from cant-make-me :
hello... yes you caught me. i have sent the same note to several people... but not just any old random people... i find a diary i like and that's written by a person that in my opinion, is a good writer and whose comments might help my diary. i hope you understand that i do not just randomly select people to send that note to. i choose good diaries. i know this is a petty excuse but it is the truth, actually. sorry.
from discodave :
Thanks for the cd, it's really very good indeed - although I'm not sure who half the people are. I saw Terry Callier a few years back, though and that's still one of my favourite Beth Orton tracks. I'll return the favour presently. Dxx
from cant-make-me :
just found your diary... decided to say hi. please take a look at my diary and maybe leave me a note :o) love your layout!
from discodave :
An email has winged (wung, was winging - how the hell do you put winging in the past tense?) its way to you in reply. Dxx
from scatterproof :
you're welcome. sure, i would.
from nonsuch :
happy belated legal birthday... as opposed to illegal ones. ♥
from scatterproof :
happy birthday..!
from discodave :
I'm an arse....sorry - Happy Birthday should have been the first thing I wrote, but... Happy Birthday, anyway. Dxx
from discodave :
Well, I'm always up for mixtapes and I'll reimburse you with one of my own - give me an email to send my address to and we'll sort it out. Dxx
from lonelyplace :
you are by far the most interesting person i've seen on diaryland that i don't know in person.
from discodave :
Well, I like it. And I know what you mean about vinyl (the not missing/missing/whatever thing) - I feel the same way about Super 8 - I'd have loved one of those cameras (and still want one thanks to repeated viewings of Slacker). Dxx
from scatterproof :
out of school soon? i might have to come up there and give you a bloody nose myself. then hang out and apologize a million times and buy you danishes until the court date is set. pretty layout.
from discodave :
How do you manage to get images that are so heartbreakingly mundane? (I swear, that's meant to be a compliment, even if it doesn't come across that way). Dxx
from gidgetgrrl :
three weeks! stop holding your breath
from nonsuch :
you should listen to Cat Power. or Stereo Total. complete opposites. yeah...
from shtrdsoul :
I read it, I thoguht about it, and I came to a theory that I will not truely know what it means inless I can see thru your eyes, I like it
from scatterproof :
maybe storing up energy for tolerating relatives and running around late at night. hope you won't need a coma..;
from scatterproof :
ah, so gorgeous..
from discodave :
These days, I normally only get to eat popcorn whilst others are having sex... I thought I should say hello. But I had to resort to smut first. Sorry about that. Hello. Dxx
from tilt-a-whirl :
you inspire me.
from sparklieolie :
Oh my goodness. You have the most gorgeous template ever! Is there any way that I could get the html for it? Pleeeeaaase? Thanks. Your diary rocks.
from nonsuch :
I love you. You shouldn't be so scared. ♥
from secunda :
i love astrology. most of it actually makes sense. he shouldn't have made you feel bad for believing in something -- that was wrong and mean. he needs to know that.
from gidgetgrrl :
I love you.
