Gods, I adore you. I spent most of my walk this morning pondering your comment and thinking, "Xanadu? Olivia Newton-John and Gene Kelly? Huh? What's the symbolism there?" It finally hit me a few minutes ago and I haven't stopped laughing since. I'm not sure that my caverns are entirely measureless to man, though, darling! (Although I have been known to feed on honey-dew and drink the milk of Paradise, on occasion...) Mushysmooches, R xxx

from mugwhump :

Absense makes the heart grow fonder. That works for both you and the lovely Miss, as well as us. We're glad you've revisited. :-) Place never seems right without you.

from twinsie :

You're back! I was beginning to think you had deserted us! Glad to hear things are still going well with Marion even if she is out of the country for a wee bit. :) Now that you're back keep updating!

from hissandtell :

We're catching up with each other, darling? But how will I recognise you? Oh, I know: you must promise to wear a rose between your teeth (or one of Mark Holden's old carnations, anyway) and be singing "Carrickfergus". Gracious, I can't wait! (But please leave the chamber-bucket at home, dear.) Much love, R xxx

from hissandtell :

Darling, you're dangerously close to being smited from my buddies' list for neglecting your writing. This is not because I don't love you - far from it - but because 30 days without an update is a positively heinous act and deserving of only the most scathingly hurty punishment I can think of without us actually being in the same room together. Love, R xxx

from niceguymike :

I'm sure he's very popular.

from mugwhump :

Was that Gilmore Girls season when Lorali took up with that teacher guy? I've lost track of how many season's they've been on tv. Tonight I'm going home to watch this seasons finale. I'm excited and depressed all at the same time. :-) Nice to read you again! LJ

from gettingnaked :

I was so excited to see your name light up on my buddy list. Good to hear from you! Sounds like you're doing well. You know, I bet L.A. could beat any other city in a tacky postcard competition. All I'd have to do is hit the tourist shops on Hollywood Blvd. and you'd be all aglow with images of hookers in torn fishnets.

from hissandtell :

"Now I suppose I'll have to go both ways"? Really? Indeed. Now darling, I hold grave concerns for you and your regular quasi-Freudian slug-squishing proclivities. And while I have your attention, on a tenuously-related tangent, what "dial-a-geek" services exactly can you offer me? Finally, perhaps you could simply console yourself during Marion's absence with the thought that you do indeed go for younger women - and that they, apparently, go for you. Love, R xxx

from niceguymike :

Man, I just about dropped when I saw you'd updated. Your life's definitely been more interesting than mine (I haven't been on TV, for example), but I'm quite glad mine's calming down. Cheers, mate!

from hissandtell :

Naughty boys who don't update for 24 days usually get into BIG TROUBLE, mate. (Unless there's a very good reason for it, in which case they might just escape with a light spanking, a slight nipple-pinch and a couple of steely glares.) Love, R xxx

from kizzykim :

Thanks for the pep talk, honey!

from mugwhump :

Good to know you're still around kicking tires!

from mugwhump :

Where the H*$$ Are you!!! You can't just leave us like this.....

from hissandtell :

Now come on, my boy. You have no excuses any more for not updating at least once a week. (And I have no excuses to watch commercial television on Sunday and Monday nights, damnit.) You were lovely, by the way - well done on getting so far. (Of course, your chances would have been markedly improved had you been grossly overweight like the remaining finalists [miaow].) Yes, isn't Mary completely wonderful? Tiara or not, what a woman! And now, a fabulous entry from you, I think? Love, R xxx

from hissandtell :

Oh, you old romantic, you. I'm so glad you two were able to engage in a bit of lunch and stuff to celebrate the typing achievement. And I saw you on TV, too! And so did my hairdresser! Mate, let me tell you: you were the talk of the salon in that smallish north-west Queensland town whose name we dare not speak. (Now, when I was about 12, Mr Holden gave me a carnation and a pashy kiss in the record section at Coles in BrisVegas, and signed my leather hat. Do me a favour and ask him if he still thinks of me from time to time, please?) Love, R xxx

from mugwhump :

Funny you should write today. I was going to leave you a note asking if you'd left us. But ... sigh ... you have returned.

from hissandtell :

Hold the bus, mate! Really, can't you musician types simply enjoy an instrument, without feeling the need to penetrate its open strings with your bit o' blokin' brazilwood? (Okay, here's a viola joke for you: Q. Why is a viola solo like premature ejaculation? A. Because even when you know it's coming, there's nothing you can do about it.) Love, R xxx

from mugwhump :

You're Alive!!! You've come back to grace us with your presence ... ok, ok ... your writing. I missed you, we all miss you when you don't write.

from hissandtell :

That bloody fusilli rears its ugly head again! It's trouble, I tell you - trouble. Hey, your story reminded me of a rather odd girl I lived next to once. Our duplexes were brand new Education Department specials, and all the furniture was brand new too. (Of course, this was highly unusual for teachers to be granted such luxury, being as we usually got crammed four-to-a-house with nothing but a broken toaster and a fridge that kept food at approx. 35*C.) Anyway, this girl - easily the clumsiest person I've ever met - roasted a chicken and carried the tray, hot from the oven, into my duplex and put it down on the 2" wide armrest of a wool-upholstered chair. (No, I don't know why she brought it in. I didn't eat chicken and certainly didn't want it or her in my house.) Naturally, the tray overbalanced almost immediately and sent chicken and a litre of boiling oil all over the armchair. She then, while swearing "Bloody chook" over and over, tried to rub it into the chair cushions, the carpet, the stereo and the curtains. As some of the delightful poultry-fat had landed on the lino, she also managed to slip on it, land directly on the chicken and burn herself on the roast tray on her way down. The best part for me, though, was living for the next year in a grease-stained house that reeked like a condemned fast food takeaway. Mm-mmmmm. Love, R xxx

from kizzykim :

Well, I mean, Hell. I wait for you to update for forever, and when you finally do, I just get so excited I have to do everything you tell me to! LoL <3

from niceguymike :

Well, it's about damn time. But perhaps you can clear up something for me: are you perhaps interested in this Marion person?

from mugwhump :

Great entry. We waited so long for it, but now we know the truth behind Josquin. (OK, not really, but that was fun). One question - are you Australian by birth? Cheers - LJ

from twinsie :

Well really, Victoria is the most fabulous place in Canada so it should be on the top of your list. :) Although I'd also recommend Calgary, Lake Louis, and Montreal, so you'd better plan a long trip! :)

from kizzykim :

LMAO! I wish I'd turned 20 a week ago. You damn Austrailians have everything backwards, don't you? <3 Much Love!

from hissandtell :

Darling, you'd better be better than just good from now on - you'd better be sensinfixational! And for a start, you have a challenge at http://niceguymike.diaryland.com/050111_54.html to complete: and I for one am waiting. (And I think you know by now that I don't care for delayed gratification, dear...) Love, R xxx

from mugwhump :

Thanks for the thanks. I'm sorry if it made you let the cat out of the bag. But in the long haul - it's better to be honest and open.

from gettingnaked :

Funny that you updated because I was thinking about you just yesterday and wondering if you'd fallen from the face of the earth. I'm glad to hear things with M are rolling along so smoothly... you sound so happy! It's quite refreshing to read happy diaries!

from kizzykim :

It's about damn time you came back! Missed you <3

from hissandtell :

Right, that's long enough to be away. Come back THIS INSTANT, do you hear? No, don't try to argue, mate. I mean it. Love, R xxx

from ladybug-red :

I have had to lock temporarily. If you want to keep up with me my username is ladybugred and password is temporary. Sorry - I hope you can stay with me for a short period while I chase away the stalker.

from wench77 :

Hullo! I'm here via Hissandtell, and I must say that is an astute observation you made... that the way to get over being uncomfortable about someone is to meet them and get to know them. Bloody good way it is. Anyways, here's to the new tall musician! tah!

from hissandtell :

Gosh, you're lovely. Love, R xxx

from niceguymike :

I think it's great that you're open-minded; I wish more people were like us in that. One thing, though: being transvestite or transsexual has nothing to do with sexual orientation. Your friend might not be gay.

from ladybug-red :

I just wanted to stop in and tell you that you are terrific!

from twinsie :

Just caught up on my notes, I'm glad your PhD friend enjoyed the comics. It always amazes me how universal the grad school experience is! Cheers!

from hissandtell :

Now, to the corset handbags. I'll have you know that I was the International Officer of the local QCWA for a whole year once, mate, and I'll wager that my informative talks on Austria (not to mention my rousing piano rendition of "Bundeshymne" - loud, fast and with plenty of mistakes) are still recalled with misty eyes, reverence and awe. You see, I never used notes, and apparently this was unheard of. (Being a teacher, I was unaware of this convention. You know how it is: give us a topic - any topic - and we'll speak about it for, oh, weeks on end. And provide little learning activities as well. And evaluate afterwards.) And no, I don't take my darling corset handbags out in public. For everyday use, I have a lovely black and white hairy cow-skin backpack by Ella Maiden of Bowral. For things dark and gothic, I have a dear little black leather Morticia-esque coffin-bag with a long fetishy chain from Alchemy (http://www.darkemporium.com/acatalog/Leather_Coffin_Handbag.html). For school, I have one of those colourful Peters of Kensington "Provence" woven baskets so beloved of chambray-shirted Clayfield matrons with lavender bobbed hair (a la Pru and Tru from "Kath and Kim"), that holds myriad musical instruments, art supplies and picture books. For sex shops I have a large red leather Oroton tote bag (all the better to, ah, swallow up toys and lingerie). And for visits to my mother, I have a very girly Alannah Hill/Spencer and Rutherford Mary Poppins-y handbag with lace and sequins. (Oh, ask Marion. She'll understand.) And I almost never go to bars any more, by the way. You know very well that I'm a respectable married woman.

from hissandtell :

Well, this is a pretty kettle of fish. I guess it rules out sharing any erotic dreams about you that I may have from now on, darling? (Oh, I'm kidding. Bravo! You must know how much I love honorable men.) Be good, you hear? Love, R xxx

from hissandtell :

Oh, my. Your poor fingers. Lucky you're not a southern-European saxophonist, darling. Of course, if you were, you'd have to change your name to Carlos or Enrico and dye your chest hair and wear gold chains around your neck and sneer cruelly all the time and ultimately treat me with disdain when you go back to your boyfriend, so it's possibly the best thing all round for all of us that you're not. (Oh, dear. You aren't a saxophonist, are you? And did I really say all that out loud?) And congratulations on the apparel subterfuge. Next time, just keep a couple of tea-towels - extra-large, in your case, I'd advise - handy near the hot scones and everything will be juuust fine. Love, R xxx

from twinsie :

Oooh! Poor fingers! You've been having some interesting (i.e. bad) luck lately haven't you what with the fingers and the trapped in the bathroomness. :)

from hissandtell :

What exactly do musicians do in December, dear? The only thing that springs immediately to mind is carolling. (And making frustratingly obscure [poss. metaphorical-allegorical?] references to the comparative endowments of pasta in one's diary, of course.) Happy a-wassailing, darling! Love, R xxx

from gettingnaked :

I suppose busy is good, but be sure to take some time for yourself! You're right that the Barbara Box is very Gilmore Girls... I like it even better when you put it that way.

from liadlaith :

But there's nowt wrong with those commas.

from kizzykim :

I like my bed so much that I hardly slept the whole night before Tim left for Iraq, because it was so weird with him in the bed, and I'd rather have let him sleep than bother doing anything about how annoyed I was to share my bed. I would give anything to share it with him right now though. I just got an email from him and he's talking about how he's spending Thanksgiving on some mission and he's getting shot at all the time. It's a crazy world, ma chere. Share your bed, so you don't regret it. <3

from twinsie :

Oh I have the exact same problem, I can never fall asleep when someone else is in the bed. Although I think it is because I'm neurotic about kicking them in my sleep or something. I agree that the best fix is to be really really tired. :)

from ladybug-red :

OK honey - here's the tip on learning to sleep with someone else - Until you have perfected it you should always have *ahem* intimate encounters first. That way you are tired enough to fall asleep without *thinking* about it and you will get into a natural groove of sleeping together rather than a conscious one. No kidding!

from gettingnaked :

Don't scare me like that! MC is not McReceptionist Woman. MC (short for Madame Culinary--she's a chef) is just a good friend of mine (pinkpastry on d-land).

from hissandtell :

Oh, and this Virgin Mary in Grilled Cheese ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=19270&item=5535890757&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW ) sort of reminded me of Eva in Klimt's painting - or the waif on the poster of "Les Miserables", at the very least. Do let me know what you think, alrighty?

from hissandtell :

Do you mean you don't sleep on straw litter, eat cold dried grocer's peas, wear a hair-shirt and scourge yourself every Saturday? Wait...maybe you should, and then that would freak THEM out! Love, R xxx

from banefulvenus :

: )

from hissandtell :

Hey, now. There are some things I won't entertain, darling, and congress with a Canis familiaris (of the non-salty species, at least) is one of them. Although, given vast quantities of rum and the right set of circumstances, who ever knows these things? Latro! fremo! And as Our Percy might have said, I'll be there when the whips are cracking! Mush! xxx

from loungequeen :

oh chess-boy was average, I'm just 5'6, 1.67 m. You're right, tall girls /are/ sexy, tallER girls,however, aren't. Damn. I hate leaving my stilettos at home.

from liadlaith :

Danke : ) I have a new resolution that I shall no longer write boring stuff about what I did that day, and it shall all be introspective and serious. Want to bet how long that will last?

from hissandtell :

Oooh! Just look who's been realising Our Percy! I MUST hear it!

from hissandtell :

Hmmm. Now, about this letter to The Age. Was the fallout cruel and swift?

from hissandtell :

Of course I'm googling you as we speak. Consider yourself googled good and hard, mate.

from niceguymike :

Interestingly, I Googled you and found lots of concert cites and a letter to The Age, but no quips written to Big Brothers. Is there an Oz algorithm I'm unaware of?

from kizzykim :

It's hard to get it on in Jesusland, but as long as you tell everyone that it's only in the missionary position and that you don't enjoy it, they leave you alone. <3

from hissandtell :

I don't know why I'm even bothering to leave you a note, darling, since you'll almost certainly be rutting like stoats and not bothering to check your emails for several days. But smooch anyway. Love, R xxx

from niceguymike :

Glad they worked for you. There's a saying in Washington: "If it's not Boeing, I'm not going." Their headquarters is actually in Seattle, and when they were our main industry and had fallen on hard times, there were billboards that read, "Will the last person to leave Seattle please turn out the lights?" A bit of trivia: Boeing Field is an alternate landing place for the Space Shuttle (albeit not seriously considered, because of the clouds and rain), because it has one of the longest landing strips in the U.S.

from niceguymike :

Happy snogging, or whatever. As respects the job, if I'm not hard-working, I'm liable to find myself unemployed, from which situation I'd find it difficult to extricate myself without moving. Not that I'd EVER slack, of course.

from gettingnaked :

Oh happy day... for you and Marion, at least. :) I'm so glad that I don't live in Jesusland. Hooray for the United States of Canada!

from luciangrey :

I stumbled over your diary -to which I perhaps have no distinct right, while writing to hissandtell of Homo floresiensis. (Yes, a very improper way to begin a formal note). I read through a considerable amount of your words here, and I am utterly astounded at the mental prowess you seem to possess. I was captivated and turned from the tedium of my everyday office existance. For this, I am thankful.

from hissandtell :

Well, I liked those three paragraphs! (Duh!) So, which bottom is yours, dear? All I can say, on hearing the news about your, erm, endowment, is that it's a damned shame you weren't given more of an opportunity to, erm, flaunt your, erm, assets (inclined or otherwise) in the photograph, instead of just your asses. Or arses. (Okay, fine, I'll stop with the asinine donkey jokes now.) Anyway, I'm still a bit concerned about the tenor remark; I may never feel the same way about Andrea Bocelli again. (So which bottom is yours? Huh?) Love, R xxx

from niceguymike :

Glad to hear you Australian blokes are keeping the ladies suitably entertained Down Under. Heh. Also thought you might be interested to know that Puppetry of the Penis will be releasing DVDs this month. I think they would make lovely Yule or Christmas or Kwanzaa or whatever presents. Perhaps you'd get a discount for buying them by the, uh, gross.

from ladybug-red :

I feel your pain dear. My nerves are so on edge - I do fear that on Tuesday we may see exactly how ignorant the American public can be. It is a horrible feeling to know that the world is watching us show our stupidity.

from hissandtell :

So ... what colour are they?

from hissandtell :

Make that "giggling gum-suckers".

from hissandtell :

Awww. I guess this means your fever has abated somewhat. Now tell me, darling: is "my aunt rings at awkward times" some north-of-the-Yarra trope (a metaphor, or allegory, or euphemism, or personification, or whatever) that we banana-benders are unaware of? Just curious, is all. Oh, you crazy gum-suckers! Smooch.

from gettingnaked :

Oh, how I've missed our Josquin! I hate people who have that knack for calling at the worst possible moments. It seems like there's always someone who gets you every time!

from ladybug-red :

Welcome home! We have missed you and I am sure Marion did. I would have pegged you as a giggler. Take care dear.

from hissandtell :

Okay, dear. I've read all your favourite/worst/interesting entries, and one thing sticks out like, well, the proverbial: "One poorly executed attempt at a kiss pretty much landed on her ear, which had hair all over it." Ewwwww! But your paramour's hirsute bits aside, I do so adore the "So ... Josquin and Marion?" entry. And the Joyce ramblings, of course. And I hope you're back to your usual non-febrile self soon, darling! Love, R xxx

from kizzykim :

YOU'RE BACK!!! So glad. You rock my world, Jos.

from hissandtell :

Yippee! Glad you're back. You get more comments later, though; I have to go to bed now. Smooch.

from hissandtell :

*tap tap tap* ... oh, come on; it must have been been at least five weeks by now, darling!

from laura-jane :

I hope your galavanting has been a success thus far!

from kizzykim :

How will I ever LIVE without you?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! <3 Think of me when you're drinking cheap Guinness in my ancestal homeland. Love you madly!

from kizzykim :

How will I ever LIVE without you?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! <3 Think of me when you're drinking cheap Guinness in my ancestal homeland. Love you madly!

from hissandtell :

Oh, darling, have a marvellous time! I shall miss you dreadfully, of course. Do stay out of trouble in the Walletjes, and try to think of me when you're frolicking with the Tuatha de Danaan in my ancestral homeland. (Oh, make it one of Ceaucescu's external organs and we've got a deal...) Travel safe, my love. Smooch. Love, R xxx

from ladybug-red :

Have a great time!

from kizzykim :

I should've told myself the same thing. But that's a completely different entry.

from hissandtell :

High Plains Public Radio? Health Plan and Provider Report? Hourly Payroll Preparation Report? High Performance Preamplifier Assembly? Honestly, darling, I'm stuffed if I know. But I'd like a postcard from Roumania with a portrait of the Ceaucescus on it, please. And a bronze life-sized statue of Lenin if it's not too much trouble. And some Baltic amber jewellery. Love, R xxx

from niceguymike :

"We live in harmony with our germs." I like that.

from hissandtell :

Now, my love, I'm not ALWAYS right. (Oh, who am I kidding? Of course I am.) And actually, it's the marks of the "steamy pre-underwear-removal activity" that I find even more disturbing than the three-way tussle that's been going on in your pants lately. (Incidentally, Stephen Fry on "Parkinson" last night mentioned a game that's a variation on "Botticelli". It's one where players have to nominate whose underpants they'd least like to wear on their heads ... just a thought, baby.) And promise - PROMISE - you'll watch the thingy on Sir Eugene Goossens and the Rosaleen Norton scandal that follows the Mr Darcy, ah, climax this evening, darling - okay? I'm forgoing the delectable Heath in "Ned Kelly" on Austar to take off all my clothes (in order to obviate those nasty "marks") and enjoy a delicious little vicarious romp with the glowering Colin (although, honestly, it's been downhill all the way since he plunged into the pond in his clingy white shirt, hasn't it?), and then travel back in time to 1950s Oz with its virtuous Menzies-era morality, and the inevitable downfall of good men in the Arts who had the audacity to express their individuality by associating with - gasp - Pan-worshipping female painters ... Smooch. Love, R xxx

from gettingnaked :

You are just too cute for words.

from niceguymike :

Sometimes, one just simply can't arrange oneself properly. It happens. Try cornstarch baby powder (not talcum). Makes everything slide around a bit easier and is soothing on skin. Talcum can cause infections, which I assume would be contraindicated.

from niceguymike :

Unfortunately (or not), I have a rather weak stomach, and even the thought of a site like ratemypoo.com makes me a little ill. I think I'll pass, knowing you succumbed to temptation. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA

from niceguymike :

Believe it or not, that was a direct quote. As respects the Shrub's dignity, I think he read a few opinion polls that said people like a leader who makes a decision and sticks to it. Too bad he didn't read that before he started making pronouncements on WMDs. And I wonder if he realizes that people also respect someone who changes their mind because they got new/better/correct information?

from banefulvenus :

did you catch the Olympics on Sunday?

from twinsie :

Aww! Good times. And what did they think of the Gilmore girls DVD? :)

from ladybug-red :

That, my dear, is a mission worth having!

from hissandtell :

Let this be a lesson to you on the evils of underwear, my boy. Smooch.

from niceguymike :

If everyone I run into is myopic, who'll know?

from niceguymike :

You devil.

from twinsie :

Hee, I had no idea aussies were such pick-up Kings. Aparently I need to put a rush on my trip to Australia. :) Thanks for the comment.

from ladybug-red :

Hey darling - I just realized I haven't written in a while (even though I read daily). Great List! By the way I am INFP too except one time I took the test, it came out ENFP but I must have lied. As for your note about your P.M. - they all lie here too and no one seems to care (unless it involves sex).

from hissandtell :

Oh, incidentally - I always think of luvabeans when I eat some census taker's liver with a nice chianti.

from hissandtell :

WHO is the dirty dingo plagiarist, darling? You must tell me. (I mean, I am too, obviously, since I'm sure I poddy-dodge in one form or other from everyone I read or speak to or even observe casually - I just try not to do so in my speeches on national identity and then pretend I've never even heard Clinton's State of the Union address, pish tosh) ... anyway, I LOVED your 64 things. Your "How often do you clean your kitchen?" remark is the exact kind of thing I've been doing all my life, which generally is of some consternation to anyone who's not actually privy to what's going on in my brain at any given point and has no idea where the comment came from or where the conversation might be headed. I always forget to say "hello", too, and usually launch into something quite startling straight off. (Truly, I'm working on that; I swear.) And baby, that folk band thingy you can do with your tin whistle would have me queueing up to Strip the Willow with you - after a few years in a jug band, I'm pretty darned hot with a Murrumbidgee River Rattler myself, mate! Smooch. Love, R xxx

from hissandtell :

Um, STARTED and BOTH. That ought to cover the typing errors for now, okay?

from hissandtell :

Mr Ed? Boris Yeltsin? Fuuuuuck. And darling, can I be frank? I really was quite worried that I'd accidentally clicked on the wrong diary when I stated reading your Gilmore Girls order from Amazon. Next you'll be ordering the complete - well, never mind. Do have fun getting bith tipsy (over and over and over) AND, um, conjunctive with your paramour, and try to avoid those pesky mosquito-borne viruses. They really do cause everything to go to shit, the pointy-proboscised bastards. Love, R xxx

from mugwhump :

The romantic in me is so happy for you. Silly woman (read: me). Your entry reminds me so much of the earlier days before saying "I do". No one else in the world exists except the one your in love with. And you sure sound like you are. Cheers - LJ

from hissandtell :

Still laughing too much to leave you a coherent note, darling, you pervy conjoined exhibitionistic gadabout barfly, you. (But am delighted by the accounts of snogging and frotting in public places, nonetheless.) Love and smooches, R xxx

from kizzykim :

If I were you, I'd move to Canada. Everything is legal there. I swear to Buddha that if Bush is re-elected then I am packing my bags. Hope all is well for you darling.

from hissandtell :

Do you know what pissed me off most of all about the, shall we say, cunts (do you mind if I use that word in your notes, darling? Maybe you could just think of me as William Burroughs, only a bit prettier and more sober most of the time) in Canberra? It was when Howard ruled out supporting gay marriages because they are incompatible with a "bedrock institution" he claimed was designed to ensure "the survival of the species". Maybe I'll just move my childless old self to Brazil, since I've clearly failed my country (and our esteemed Health Minister as well) by not reproducing. (Like Mr Burns, due to my hectic schedule and lethargic sperm, I never fathered an heir...) And with all that relentless god-spouting that's going on in our nation's capital, I am somehow reminded of Howard Zinn's comment: "All presidents invoke God in their speeches but Bush invokes God more than anyone else. God gets brought into the picture when the government is doing the greatest violence and engaged in the most immoral acts." Love, R xxx

from ladybug-red :

Indeed you are a nice boyfriend - that lucky girl. As for politics, I myself have been thinking lately about starting my own political party here in the US. I would like to call it the "Even though I am a white, almost middle aged, mostly heterosexual, married, mother of two, living a rather boring and stable life, I STILL thinks the most dangerous people on this planet are the holier than thou, right wing fundamentalist, family value spouting assholes that run this country" How is that for a political movement?

from gettingnaked :

I bet you brew a kick ass cup of coffee! (Wink, wink) I'm sure she's ADORABLE!!!

from hissandtell :

So you won't talk about the quality of the coffee you've made for Marion, ay? Now THAT'S a euphemism one doesn't hear everyday, darling! Love, R xxx

from gettingnaked :

Cleavage is such a marvelous thing! You and M-woman are just too cute! Escalators... foreheads... awwwww!

from niceguymike :

Most of the female clients I deal with are not hot in any way. There is one, though ... if only she'd flirt with me instead of allowing me to simply act like a complete fool every time I talk with her.

from gettingnaked :

I would have paid to see the look on your face right then. The splits, eh? You go, boy!

from hissandtell :

How completely marvellous, darling. I'm having such a chuckle following your deliciously chaste courtship thus far, and I can't wait until I read the obligatory happy ending. (But is it appropriate for me to smooch you any more? If YOU were Mr Darcy I imagine I'd be In Like Flynn and playing with a little more than your fingertips surreptitiously under the table, but I feel a little, ah, hesitant now.) Oh, smooch anyway. Love, R xxx

from banefulvenus :

you are absolutely brilliant! The floppy hat suggestion is absolutely brilliant! If I'm going to ride this one out I'm going to make a statement damit!! :)

from kizzykim :

Actually, I drive a Chevy Cavalier. The vehicle in question ended up being a Chevy Tahoe (an SUV). I wonder how the hell I got a letter? Don't you just love Zoolander? I used to, until this year, when every other new movie I've seen has Ben Stiller in it. *sigh* I need some Literati. <3!

from banefulvenus :

aaaah yes, The LACK of farts is a great thing!! :)

Ahh yes... baristas are fabulous creatures. Especially in those cute little baseball caps! I hope Marion is getting some naughty ideas from her studies of the devil. Wouldn't *that* be fun?

from niceguymike :

Martin Luther was definitely more than a bit of an odd duck. Most of his writings would put schoolboys to shame in their debt to scatological underpinnings. And he wrote at times of seeing the devil in the corner of his room, trying to tempt him to do things. Having been raised as a Lutheran, I felt it my duty to find out what our founder had to write about -- and I was not impressed. Interestingly, most Lutherans have not read Luther, except for the Small Catechism.

from hissandtell :

Do you know, ever since I read that bit in your entry about Pellegrinis it's been driving me mad. I was thinking there was a reference to it in a Les Murray poem, but by the time I struggled to recall the title (An Absolutely Ordinary Rainbow) and looked it up and found out it was actually "The word goes round Repins, the murmur goes round Lorenzinis..." I was ready to sell what's left of my pissy little brain on eBay. Don't you see? This is what my addled memory consists of these days. The useless bastard can't even organise itself properly on matters of state capitals, for god's sake, let alone coffee shops. And then when I reached the line, "There's a fellow crying in Martin Place" all I could do was think of Martin Plaza and hum bloody Mental as Anything songs in my head and picture Mambo loud shirts patterned with bushfires and backyard barbecues and beer trees - which is what I've been doing ever since. So thanks heaps for that, josquin. (Oh, smooch anyway, darling. xxx)

from ladybug-red :

Well that is a start but I'm with Hiss on this one honey. Use some of that creativity you are famous for!

from hissandtell :

You're really SWEET? Well, gosh. I bet she stayed up all night pondering exactly what you meant by that one, darling. Is Cyrano de Bergerac very busy these days? It might be worth giving him a call before Thursday, you manfully oblivious bloke, you. Love, R xxx

from gettingnaked :

Ooooh... kiss potential! How fabulous. I hope your lunch goes (went) well... I'm expecting details...

from hissandtell :

Oh. My. Goddess. It's sublime,darling. (Hail, Queen of heav'n, the ocean star...)

from niceguymike :

Hmmm ... I don't know about shearers. I've heard about their initiation rituals. Plus, Our Hiss seems to be fairly strictly vegetarian. From what I can gather she confines herself to one species in bonking, too.

from niceguymike :

Well, your latest entries have positively reeked of masculinity. I expect to read about bonking any day now. Although, come to think of it, hiss talks a lot about bonking ... Anyway, I just thought it was interesting.

from hissandtell :

Ahhh, I can see it now: "The Simpletons' Life", starring Gay Paree and Li'l Nikki. It follows the adventures of two particularly offensive-looking, shallow, vacuous, vapid, talentless gal-pals as they seek their fame and fortune through a b-grade horror film appealing to permanently-priapic adolescent boys, and/or a z-grade crap song ("I'm like a tree with no roots" is my favourite part of "Strawberry Kisses" - what's yours?) appealing to eye-rolling tragic ten-year-old girls in crop-tops and glitter on their faces. I'm glad they're snuggling up together already; I like to think that Nikki will make a welcome diversionary guest appearance on Paris's next adult video. (And there WILL be one; trust me. It may or may not star Millsy, though.) Oh, I do hope she's still got her harness from the Olympics...Love, R xxx

from gettingnaked :

Snuggling's the best, isn't it?

from gettingnaked :

Oh that was just plain cruel. I read the first paragraph on the bridesmaid and got all excited for you! Lack of passionate lovemaking aside, it sounds as if the wedding was quite the event! Is it just me or is everyone having some luck with love the past few weeks? I hope I didn't jinx it by saying that. I'll take it back just to be on the safe side. XOXO, Molly P.S. Your comments are good for my ego!

from mugwhump :

Great entry on the wedding. I particularly like the "3 different Josquins", and am glad (for you) that the final version is who you've become. Hopefully another "Tuesday" night is just around the corner. I'm sure you'll keep us posted. She sounds like a keeper. Cheers - LJ

from twinsie :

Thanks for stopping by my diary. I've enjoyed taking a stroll through yours! You're now on my favorites list so count this Canadian a fan! Cheers!

from hissandtell :

Oops; my mistake, darling. I should have realised it was the same Marion and that she wasn't actually in the band. Do you know, I read that entry of yours three times trying to clarify it in my tiny little small-grey-beetled addled-as-an-egg brain, though. I think I'll just have to plead car-lag, girly hormones and caffeine-deprivation, babe. Oh, and my lingering PTSD...love, R xxx

from hissandtell :

Ummm, so your amiable (oops, what I just typed looked more like "cannibal") not-tall Hot Date is going to live in Germany? Permanently? Well, damn. What a bit of a c*%!!!!! that could be, in fact. Good luck on Sunday, darling. Love, R xxx

from hissandtell :

Well, knock me over (or off, but not up) with a feather. Imagine Our Molly not having a clue about what unruly mob behaviour was going on just metres from him. Frankly, that man sometimes makes me want to rethink my incurable weakness for blokes wearing Akubras. (Not that he'd care, of course.) And thank you so much for the mention in your recent, um, entry, my love. Smooch. Oh, and naturally I'm waiting with bated breath for the sordid details of your serendipitous Hot Date. I do hope the beauty sleep pays off for you...smooch again. xxx

from gettingnaked :

Yee-haw!!! Good for you! I'm all excited to hear about the details!

from ladybug-red :

wohoo! I can't wait to hear details.

from niceguymike :

That may well be true, but I doubt the whimpering would have helped my image, either.

from gettingnaked :

On a political note, I'm so, so ashamed to call myself an American right now. And the hald-holding...soooo cute! It's such a bitch when schedules don't synch, but it does tend to make the alone time that much more special.

from hissandtell :

Crop-tops camp? Are you mad? Well, yes, that was possibly a bit of a give-away, in rerospect. And I think we women-types do tend to find well-executed dancing a turn-on, darling - especially, say, a nice tango. You know, when I watch old "Countdown" episodes and see how utterly flirtatious Molly was with every single one of his male "guests", I can't believe how blind we were to the subtleties (well, more blatancies, really) of it at the time. I can only deduce that that's why "Can't Stop the Music" was so big here...because we'd all become so oblivious to the antics and jolly japes and queenly high-jinks of Molly commiting gross outrages on the Squeaks and Hushes and Dragons and TMGs of the country in our very living rooms every Sunday night. (Actually, I'm stuffed if I know why it was a hit, even so.) Smooch. xxx

from hissandtell :

But at what point did you masturbate? And urinate in the garden? Oh, who cares? Your Dedalus is deadly anyway, darling!

from niceguymike :

Enjoyed your diary very much, and will be adding you to my favorites. I seem to be in tune with people Australian these days.

from gettingnaked :

Christmas carolls in June. Blech. I hope they're not all stuck in your head. I just realized that I really have nothing meaningful to say, so I apologize. I've only had one cup of coffee as of yet, so that may have something to do with it. Hopefully my next note will be at least slightly more... um... I don't even know.

from gettingnaked :

Truth in country music...heh. Funny. It's all about rock, darling. Two words: Love Stinks. ;)

from hissandtell :

What a pity - for creative literary and dramatic purposes, at least - that your soup didn't turn blue like Bridget Jones's. Then you would have had to eat omelettes or some other substitute.

from hissandtell :

"That's a lesson, don't go messin' with a girl who is caressin' a tiny Smith and Wesson, she's 99" - I had a boyfriend who used to sing that song to me all the time. He insisted I looked exactly like her. What a compliment! What a woman! What a series! What a Siegfried! (Not craw, craw!) Love, R xxx

from mugwhump :

First off - Get Smart was one of my FAV's growing up. Silly, senseless humour and the antics around the Cone of Silence . . . . made me laugh for hours. Regarding Spongebob - I'm a bit of a "FANatic". I have Spongebob flip-flops (sandals in case you don't know what flip-fops are), Christmas decorations, purse, stickers, gamecube game. None of which I purchased myself, but all have been gifts. Does that show that my friends have good taste or bad? Anyway - He's very cute and loveable. Check him out on the Nickelodeon website if you can. Cheers - LJ

from kizzykim :

Hey baby! Thanks for the bday greetings. You're right. I love my boobs!!! Actually, I just love boobs. LoL

from gettingnaked :

Forget the nice girls...they're obviously hiding something. There's no such thing as a nice, sweet girl. I want you to re-read what you wrote about being the ONLY straight man on this tour and really allow that to sink in. Have some FUN darling! Thank you for my birthday wish...that was so sweet of you...made my day!

from hissandtell :

Oh, I LOVE "I Know Him So Well" - and that reminds me that I haven't a/listened to it in absolutely ages and b/sung it very loudly as I'm wandering about, before segueing cunningly into "High Flying Adored" as I'm wont to do. Pity I missed your karaoke performance is all I can say. Incidentally, another thing one has to remember about babies is not to leave them (accidentally) in the shed. Hey, it's not only about rocking, feeding them and keeping the poo off, you know. Love, R xxx

from mugwhump :

Gunther - you're not am imbicile - even if you use the knife and for improperly.

from kizzykim :

Ireland? *sigh* I envy you.

from hissandtell :

I can't tell you how dizzily thrilled I was to find your diary, enjoy most of your, um, back entries and read your kind comment about me. Of course, I have no comprehension of AFL either, you know. Oh, except for Warwick Capper, whom I once saw at the Gold Coast and ran away from in case he tried to speak. Love your work! R xxx

from liadlaith :

I feel your pain about the alarm clock. I used to have a really nice alarm clock, but then it started humming. And I couldn't sleep, so I had to get a new one. The new one has a green LED, which is BAD NEWS. I had to tape a red cupcake patty to the screen, to cut down on the light. The other problem with this one is it switches stations on me in the middle of the night. Most annoying.

from liadlaith :

The second one is a SQUARE. I feel CHEATED.

from liadlaith :

"This one time, at band camp . . ."

from kizzykim :

Hey, who said I was gonna SHOW you my boobs? LoL Feeling loads better, thanks. Goo almost gone. Tried to sign your guestbook but it didn't let me through. Weird. Van Helsing must've gotten to it! AHHHHH!!! OK, going to go hurl now. Have a spectacular day, er night, or whatever time it is where you are, which I think is like, 9 hours or so. <3...

from mugwhump :

I forgot to ask - Big Brother - I'm assuming (which is always dangerous) that you're talking about the tv show. Is there an Australian version? Or do you want the British or US version? We must be almost due for a new one.

from mugwhump :

Oh Josquin - your answers to the application could have been my husbands. With the exception that I like Big Brother - he doesn't, we live in Victoria, BC, and he married a graying brunette (not a redhead). Cheers. LJ

from kizzykim :

Yeah. I like straight men. They pay attention to my boobs, and don't bite them. *sigh* Maybe you should fill out the app to be my boy friend! ;)

from kizzykim :

I KNEW IT! LoL Actually, the page designer had the %% there, and I'd tried to take them off like, 50 times (well, 50-ish :) and hopefully it will work now. I think it's because my boobs are just so damn fascinating...LoL

from gettingnaked :

Will you clean my place while you're at it? I hate cleaning. Especially toilets. You totally have to get Lucy's number. For some reason, Lucy is one of my all-time favorite names. My first dog's name was Lucy. :)

from parlance :

Too bizarre for us tttttoooooeeeeeee

from gettingnaked :

Love the banner!

from gettingnaked :

Mmm...chocolate bunnies are wonderful. Our office manager sent a joke email around on Thursday. It was a picture of two chocolate rabbits...one had a bite taken out of it's butt and the other's ears had been bitten off. The first one said "My butt hurts!" and the earless rabbit looked at him and said, "What?" Glad to hear the show went well...and I'm quite certain that *is* what the writer meant!

from gettingnaked :

I am sooo with you on the Lorelai thing. She's a cutie. :) Thanks for the sweet comment. That entry was very therapeutic for me...if you were throwing the idea around in your head, I highly recommend it. Glad to hear (read? see?) that your voice is recovering!

from kizzykim :

Hey now, I know I have a bad tendancy to fall for gay guys (and honestly, 99% of the time, it's because I don't know they're gay), but you don't have to pick on me for it. Besides, none of the guys in the play are gay...*score*

from kizzykim :

Hee Hee, I think it was Harry and Hermione on the band-aid..LoL

from kizzykim :

I think Dr. Freud would be too concerned about how we saw the symbol <3 as both breasts and penises. (Apparently it would be our subliminal oedipul desires to sleep with our parents?) Maybe it's just telling us that we haven't had french fries in a while? I don't know. LoL

from liadlaith :

"At least when the boys do propose the girls will know they're really ready." That's always bothered me - why do guys not have to worry about girls being ready for marriage?

from kizzykim :

Actually, I *think* it's a symbol for a heart. For example, "I <3 you" but I'm not sure. When I first saw it, I thought it was a symbol for a *whispers* penis! I don't know why. But I still want to know what it means.

from liadlaith :

You seem to have a slight problem with your latest entry - you left out a closing " in you style-tag for the New! text. : )

from liadlaith :

Hmm, did I scare you? I can get a tad . . . strident at times, and freak people out.

from liadlaith :

Yeah, but see - I scoff at goths and fantasy-freaks (while secretly having a soft spot for them). And I think I'd be a soprano - they sing the highest, don't they? I reckon I could break glass if I tried : )

from liadlaith :

Well I should hope it was stationary, otherwise it's an escapee building from Aistrigh : ) And whaddaya mean we don't carry generic anymore? I sold some "Techworks" brand just today!

from liadlaith :

Ooh! Racy Bible excerpts! Was it Song of Songs?

from liadlaith :

Lucky bastard *grumble*

from liadlaith :

You like Catherine Jinks? She totally kicks arse! She's the reason why I study Mediaeval History!
