Oh! Are you okay? I am totally trying to be mature and grown up and now have a Windows Live Messenger thingy. I'm learning the ropes, but if you ever need to talk, we should totally have tipsy DL conversations.

from cloudy-night :

I'm sorry to hear about you and Doug. In times like this, I wish I knew what to say. I never had my heart broken. I will say this, things work out. Maybe you guys need a bit of time apart to renew your love for one another. You don't have to drink your sorrows away, just have a little faith that things will work out.

from atwowaydream :

I will write you very soon. . . we always think in this strange similar venue called publicity. Lisa, I'm drunk, but soon I will write and we will get to know each other. It should happen, because I think we could be really good friends.

from atwowaydream :

you always make me smile!

from raven72d :

i'm always willing to listen and learn, so... tell me about you and Bukowksi.

from atwowaydream :

we totally should exchange emails. so i can write you novel-esque emails. hehe.

from raven72d :

I'd like that a lot. A Voice is always appreciated. And I will add you at FB.

from atwowaydream :

aw, Lisa, thank you. I adore you too, and might have to succumb to the world of Twitter right along with you.

from atwowaydream :

you should be completely proud of yourself for still enduring and being strong and ambitious, even though you've had some horrible experiences.

from raven72d :

Stories matter. I hope to keep reading yours--- to be allowed to read yours.

from atwowaydream :

i think i spent a lot of my life letting what people thought of me destroy the most precious parts inside of me. so now, it's like, screw all that. and darling, only share what you are comfortable with sharing, i will read you always.

from cloudy-night :

Sorry to hear about the snake bite. I read about it on your twitter update. You said it didn't hurt as much as you'd expect, but aren't you kind of afraid it will bite again? Once bitten, right?

from atwowaydream :

yes, absolutely, but only deliciously expensive wine (so we can act pretentious) and in the daydream, there is no such thing as hangovers.

from raven72d :

i like the red hair, too. and enjoy everything!

from raven72d :

If she did that, I'd be stunned and grateful and elated...

from atwowaydream :

I'm so proud of you! Flaunt that red hair, get them all to surround you like moths. . . and live it up. Sophisticated hotels and hot tubs and champagne, you deserve it all.

from cloudy-night :

Congrats, I'm happy you got the job you wanted and I hope you enjoy your first day!

from atwowaydream :

"- but I am a creature of solitude. I need a certain level of isolation to be calm. I need to have a sense of "my space." my thoughts exactly! Lisa, sincere congratulations on the job, I know it's been weighing on your mind for a while now.

from raven72d :

tell me stories...

from cloudy-night :

did you ever set your website up? I never heard anything else about it.

from raven72d :

one does miss your stories.

from atwowaydream :

Nothing wrong with being "That Girl" or "Uh huh her". . . I've been that girl, and some of my best friends have been that girl, and they are some of the most amazing people ever.

from atwowaydream :

Don't go away forever. miss your writing.

from katress :

Hey there, long time no visit/email/whatever. I haven't been reading since...05? 06? Has it been that long? I'm guessing you're out of the military now, right? How in the world are you doing? drop me a note - [email protected]

from cloudy-night :

Congratulations! I'm happy to hear that things went well!

from atwowaydream :

Happy Valentine's Day! I'm not the biggest fan of this day, but I can appreciate love. I hope that you and yours have a beautiful night.

from cloudy-night :

I think your website will be awesome! I also like what you said about your friend, that's the sweetest thing I ever heard. I'm not a good friend because I'm as reliable as a weather forcast. I bet your friend will like it. Also, your bf seems to be pretty cool and very supportive, no wonder you're so crazy over him! I wish you good luck with the job, I think it will be in the bag! Later!

from raven72d :

Happy belated b-day...and I hope the job thing goes well.

from cloudy-night :

Happy belated b-day, I hope you had fun! I really hope you wait on the website, I've only read half your poems and stories on the other one. For someone who don't feel they're a good write, I love your stuff! Please don't take this the wrong way, but as we grow older, our eye sight tends to get worse. Hell, I never had 20/20 so it's not a big deal. I hope that you get the job you're seeking!

from atwowaydream :

happy birthday, Lisa. If I had a shot of vodka, I would be cheering with you.

from cloudy-night :

wow, the way you describe your feelings make me want really dive into that album. Funny thing with music is that it can be hit or miss and dispite Xunzi's rantings about music being something that connects everyone together, I'm not sure it's true. What am I trying to say? I hope I can feel what you're feeling or something more personal. Also, who is Elizabeth Sidda?

from atwowaydream :

As someone who feels music in and around and through me again (To quote Tori, another lovely fiery redhead) I listened to the Gothenburg Address and let it slide and scatter and explode. Very neo-classical post-modern rock. And very pretty.

from cloudy-night :

Oh and thank you for your kind words and prayers, I really appreciate it.

from cloudy-night :

I'm happy that your bf has come around, it will be good for both of you to have money coming in. I really hope that you get the job you want. I bet you will, so hoping is just extra sentiment. I've read sixteen of your poems so far, I like them.

from atwowaydream :

Jack the ripper-- goodness, nothing wrong with a little knife play. ;) But with bdsm it is so easy to get totally lost and consumed by the dynamics and scope of everything. As for people here, I used to have a line with everyone. . . there was this weird robotic wire keeping me from seeing them as human. But I've grown up. Some of the people I read about here, I see them more intimately and feel them more wholeheartedly than I do with people I know in real life.

from cloudy-night :

It's good to have love in your life, despite all of the hardships that are involved.

from cloudy-night :

Yes, your decision was very rational. Sometimes, people have to close the door on one another for it to actually open. I bet it will work out and I'm going to check out some of your poetry in your ealier entries.

from raven72d :

Don't give up on adventures--- at least on doing and trying and learning new things. But I really do wish you successes.

from raven72d :

I hope Saturday is going well... And I do wish you delights and adventures and successes.

from cloudy-night :

When it comes to the relationship thing, worried and afraid that things may not end up the way I want. But it's all in your head, a lot of people stay in touch with their ex's. Don't worry about it so much, things will be good. So you write poems? That's cool, I hope you post something here one day. Take care Redhead madwoman! :P

from atwowaydream :

I think in a different era, we would be effervescent, strong-willed ladies in waiting; and we would probably be the best of friends. and I am so glad that you can tell you boyfriend such intimate things. that really does matter.

from cloudy-night :

Happy New Year!

from atwowaydream :

Happy New Year, darling. Toast to something wild and glorious tonight.

from cloudy-night :

I hope that 2010 will be a kick-ass year for you. Hell, you have love in your life and if I may say so, it's looking better all the time. Hope you can get your computer repaired. Later!

from atwowaydream :

i wish i could hire little elves to come to where you are and fix your car and your computer. this year will be better, you have someone who loves you, and that is always a fortunate thing.

from raven72d :

Dead cell in the battery--- not cheap to have the battery replaced, but better than alternator or starter problems.

from raven72d :

Thanks! I'm waiting right now for a tow truck to get my car to the garage, so we'll just have to see.

from cloudy-night :

I'm happy that you had a great holiday, with your significant other and his family. None of that awkwardness, eh? I really hope that you and your sis work everything out quickly. Be safe when you drink, okay?

from atwowaydream :

what you did is more than a job, it's an act of bravery. . . and there aren't any words to describe how thankful i am.

from cloudy-night :

Seven years is a long time. Regardless of what you did, you still served your country and that, in itself, has to mean something. I wouldn't dare join the army, they would put me on the front lines for sure. I commend you, I think that it was awesome that you were in the army.

from raven72d :

I worked for the Army for a while--- teaching military history, teaching classes on nationalism and Balkan affairs... I enjoyed the job--- and they flew me to Bosnia and Croatia.

from raven72d :

belatedly--- good thoughts on Remembrance Day. Seven years in the Army? MOS?

from cloudy-night :

Thank you for your kind words, they are appreciated. I'll come to the conclusion one day soon.

from atwowaydream :

"I am a bridge-burner with sabotage on my mind."--quite pretty. as for dreams with Amanda. . . don't we all have an Amanda?

from raven72d :

if you need a listener, i'm available.

from cloudy-night :

We all have things that we want to say, regardless of how much time has passed. But it's a good idea that you plan to hold your tongue. Drinking may give you the needed strength to address an issue, but you'll regret the way it was conveyed.

from raven72d :

vodka is my local god...or at least my psychopomp.

from cloudy-night :

I agree with you. Everyone has baggage and it's good to find something with matching baggage. Sorting through certain things to see what is useful and what's despensible is kind of hard, but is necessary nonetheless.

from raven72d :

vodka always helps. and you have a compelling voice.

from atwowaydream :

oh, honey, i wasn't referring to you. i agree, honesty is always the best confession because it leads to true confessions. i think we all struggle with trust, and that's okay. you are more than good enough, and one day, you'll finally believe it. insecurity is this nasty little snake, but it's human to feel it. i think you're beautiful.

from cloudy-night :

It's hard to trust when you've been through a lot of things. It's not easy to drop the baggage you've been lugging around for a long time. Eventually it will be too heavy to carry, I hope you drop it before then. It must be great to care for someone so much.

from raven72d :

vodka helps.... and so does catharsis and storytelling...

from atwowaydream :

yay, raven found you through me. I feel so special. :) Anyhow, what I wanted to say is. . . keep writing, confessing. It like, does something cathartic, it's the only lifeboat I ever really found. at late night poker, I probably almost fell asleep more than ten times.

from raven72d :

I hope you will read along, and leave notes, too.

from raven72d :

i just found your entries via atwowaydream's notes. excellent writing.

from atwowaydream :

what people don't understand about dreams. . . I mean, a bible of a bible's bible could be written about that. sometimes dreams feel so fuckin' real, it's so hard to collect yourself. Just know that someone understands.

from atwowaydream :

don't go too long without writing here.

from atwowaydream :

I still sadly enough can't fully accept the existence of the non-Twitter world. Obviously, I need help, it is not normal. but. . . where to go for that deep a problem? seriously. i am daft. help me out. :)

from atwowaydream :

as one fan to another: well ain't that a daisy?

from whystinger :

"When life throws you a lemon..." Oh, I love how you put that! Cheers

from selfbiased :

i like the layout as well. i've only had time to give a few entries a cursory glance, but i might stop by again in the near future.

from moomoos :

hey :) i love your layout it's amazing ^_^ how are you ? x

from starkitten01 :

I watch "housewives" .. Ugh.. It's one of those I don't INTEND to watch it, and then somehow I get caught up in it and I still don't want to watch.. but, oh well. I agree completely with what you said. I can't even afford to shop the way I'd like to, but even when I CAN, I always try to shop wisely and I can't imagine spending that kind of money on any item!

from errantnights :

well that's just silly.

from tohawaii :

i love your diary. bits of it seem oh-so-familiar to me. just thought i'd say hi and let you know i like what you write ^.^

from shrinkmeana :

Hi Lisa, I wish I knew your secret to staying so thin, anyways, I hope you are doing well, thanks for the myspace comment. (its me michael, again)

from irun4melissa :

Hi Lisa, it's Michael (I used to be lovemyfriend on diaryland, see one of my notes below). It's been a long while since I've written on here. I hope you are well.

from azzweepay :

Was just passing through and wanted to let you know what kinds of characters came lurking by. Cheers!

from dataguy :

aww, tanks for the props

from errantnights :

you're only bad at it because you don't play it enough. play more, get better, enjoy more, and then everything will be right with the world?

from errantnights :

everyone enjoys bowling.

from errantnights :

your dad and my dad should go bowling

from lady-frenzy :

What can I say as I've refused to speak my mind? It'll be ok though. It's just for a while. Thanks.

from goddesskiki :

Ok, I'm completely behind the news, but I just wanted to say that I'm sorry you broke up. You're strong though--at least your blogs make it sound that way--so I know you'll make through and shine because that's how fabulous you are. You're in my thoughts though!

from lady-frenzy :

Naw, I'd never kill myself really... I just like to set the mood... Ooh, I'd trade for a slender 12 year old boy body any day...

from beagle47 :

i enjoyed your poetry. surfed over from the "Frost" database of favorite authors. write on, then...-=b47=-

from licalicious :

Wow - thank you so much! That made my day! I won't get my shop up for a few weeks but I'll let you know when I do. Also I could do a custom order so you could get colors you like or whatever and I could list it as just for you to buy. Also I'd give you a deal on them - so if you do buy don't pay right away and I can send you an adjusted invioce.

from lovemyfriend :

.. thanks for your most recent entry .. I know it probably wasn't easy to write .. lots of emotions involved .. some anger .. some hurt .. I just wanted you to know I 'read' it and I 'got' it .. I'm going to try and make better choices .. I want that for myself .. I wrote a long entry this morning .. I think it helped some .. I'm just going to take things one day at a time .. and try not to be so hard on myself .. it dones't need to be that way ..

from lovemyfriend :

its me .. still moving (hollister)

from hollisterusa :

Lisa, thanks for the note you left .. I was wondering, how do you stay in such awesome shape, I know that you are in the military, I'm sure there is a lot to it .. drop an email sometime, I'd love to hear from you .. thanks for your friendship too. My email is [email protected] Take care, Michael

from hollisterusa :

Thank you for your note, it brought a smile to my face :)

from hollisterusa :

I love the new look of your diary, you are definitely beautiful, I don't think I could get away with such a design ;)

from katress :

Miss your updates!!!

from xnavygrrl :

I'm sorry you are going through so much now. Stay strong, Lisa!

from xnavygrrl :

I'm glad you are well. I am always thinking of you darling. Have a great holiday!

from candoor :

updating is good :)

from licalicious :

Hey - did you ever get what I sent you?

from bunny828 :

Thanks for adding me! The picture is from www.webshots.com. They have some beautiful pictures out there.

from xnavygrrl :

Your new layout is lovely. You are such a beauty!

from absdiet4life :

I love your pictures, you are beautiful young woman ;)

from f-i-n :

I always wondered what it would be like to have a song written about me or someone I knew. Somehow--it seems like it says more about the singer than the subject.

from xnavygrrl :

Hey my beauty. Just wanted you to know I'm thinking of you...

from malthus :

I'm going to keep reading...

from adorkable :

Korea, huh? It looks like the 3rd MI patch in those pics. I was B 2/52 when I was in Korea. It was fun, but Camp Humphries still left plenty to be desired. Anyway, congrats on the promotion. I look forward to my stripes.

from xnavygrrl :

No one's ever left you a note? Oh, the humanity! By the way, congratulations on the reenlistment and for looking fetching in that uniform! Much love from Missy in the states...:)

from smedindy :

Hey, thought I'd be the first one to leave you a note! JAZZ HANDS!
