A Toast For the Realists

The glass is neither half empty nor half full.



It's just a glass with some shit in it.


Nothing more....nothing less.


Sometimes shit just is what the fuck it is.

Is everything okay here?

Is it safe for me to even return?

Or should I just stay away for a bit?

Hello everyone, how are you?

Sorry I've been quiet but I really didn't know what to say with all the shit that has gone down.

sdock, I got no email either sweetie.

dei gratia said...

Hey Missy, How did today go?

elena said...

Hey I'm sorry if I upset anyone earlier. I just get upset when I feel like someone is waiting for us to crash and burn.

I'll be quiet.

dei gratia said...

I don't think you've upset anyone, Elena.
Certainly not me....don't stay quiet!

Okay, I'm not going to be here for a few days.

I'm trying my best here, and it's not working.

I love you all, and I'll come back when I feel the time is right for me.

See you all around town.

Hi everyone,

Miss T - how did it go today?

MissTottenham said...

Hi DG, it went OK. I have a couple of appointments to go back and sign up properly. I have let some CV's and I have some phone numbers. We shall see.

gnothi seauton said...

Whoa Mustard, where are you going?
Stay.

MissTottenham said...

Elena, you didn't upset me.

GS, It went OK thanks.

Mustard, please don't leave. If you feel you have to, please come back in a couple of days. I know how it feels to need a break from here.

sdock10 said...

MissT,

I wuv you! I am so happy to see you today.



Mustard,

Do what you have to do. You are asking someone who has no fucking clue what you are talking about.

I love ya...take it for what it's worth.

gnothi seauton said...

Elena and Mustard,

Nobody needs to apologise for anything, or leave. I've been in this situation myself and I greatly appreciated it when Miss T talked me through it. We're all here for each other.

Thanks DG, MissT and Not so evil.
I really do try to be quiet when I get pissed off but sometimes it's so hard.
Mayo's is important to me. All of you are important to me. Maybe it's the "Mom protect mode" that kicks in.

Mustard, I hate for you to leave even for a short time. I still don't know what happened last night but it's okay. I think we're all on the same page about protecting Mayo's. Damn guy makes me want to keep him safe. Okay that's weird but true.

dei gratia said...

Nothing weird about wanting to keep a friend safe, Elena.

I though tit was mothballed. Okay, thanks.

Guys, gimme a little while, okay?

Anonymous said...

newsflash from next door:

Alie's account was hacked into. She claims she didn't post that shit. How convenient. Especially so soon after making herself known at Mayo's.

Andrea is, of course, feigning innocence, while still inferring that she is an insider with her 'oh I don't know who Mayo is, but I know who he's not. I thought he was a friend of mine but it turns out I was wrong.' while making references to her friend GW, the 'fro' and calling undercoverbrotha Ray several times. Name drop much? She wants people to think she hangs with the band but is being discreet. What a joke!

elena said...

Wonder what is going on over at the house. I can't pull it on this computer.

Hope our corner is okay.
Really I just hope Mayo is okay.
Last night was pretty draining.

I need some happy thoughts..anyone...anyone....

mothballed tit

Your tit is mothballed???

Okay, catch you later!

sdock10 said...

MissT,

Can I come live with you?

I could kick your noisy neighbor's ass for you.

Elena,

The corner is absolutely fine....it's like barricaded off...nobody can get in.

gnothi seauton said...

Anonymous,

But Andrea has always said the same ever since the beginning, she is not coming out with anything new. I don't understand why she is getting stick. Is it because of this Alie?

Alie and Undercoverbrother came on about a week ago and started something. Andrea came on after and apologised for their behaviour.

I'm confused.

gnothi seauton said...

Hi Sdock,

I saw your comment earlier. I'm glad our little corner is secure :)

dei gratia said...

What you got to eat, Sdock?

sdock10 said...

GS,

Yeah, the corner is going to be just fine.


Do you think Mayo would mind if we hung a punching bag from the porch? I feel the need to beat the fuck out of something.

MissTottenham said...

Sdock, I would love it if you came to live with me. Maybe I should be asking if I can come and live with you.

gnothi seauton said...

Punching bags sound a spiffing idea.

MissTottenham said...

I'll live that turmoil with you sdock.

elena said...

sdock take a deep breath. Now here is my lightsaber. Go for it girl..It has the power of the Darkside.....Yeah

*if I am being watched right now, I so realize how much I need my job and I value it dearly, but I also feel the need to vent and call the bullshit like I see it so please do not tuck my words away only to pull them out at a later date to make me eat shit and lie*

Life is funny, right. You need a job like really bad and mine is killing me. It's so silly. The things we are forced into doing just by circumstances. And why do I feel powerless to change any of it?

It is time to sit down and do some serious fucking soul searching.

Seriously?

Fucking seriously.

days are flying off the calendar and time off my life and I am fucking settling. Nope, it is time to make a leap of faith.

errrrrrrrr....it makes me nauseous.

Yes mya, I have to been to some agencies, fingers crossed. I still hope to find something by myself and am gonna ring some jobs i saw in the paper today.

Hello to all over here!

It has calmed at Mayo's considerably, and it sounds like it has here too.

Mustard,
It's ok, sweetie. We know about taking a break sometimes, but we still miss you.

Miss T, SDock, Hope you guys are doing better. Please take care of yourselves. Love to you both.

Are you still sick Sdock? ;) If not then absolutely I'll make out with you, but MissT has to show me her ass first. It gets me, well 'ya know, kind of hot.





In all seriousness Sdock, I really want you to be happy. YOU deserve it. What are you waiting for? What are you scared of if you leave this guy? (I'm starting with the man thing because sometimes the career factor can take much longer to figure out.)

anima said...

How was that anonymous? It was me!

Smoke said...

Ok, so like where the hell did Mustard go? Seriously, where the hell did Mustard go?

Ok, listen people. I don't know what the hell went down today but all I'm gonna say is I don't have a clue who Alie or Tiff is and don't care about all that bullshit. Don't care who knows or think they know Gerard. I don't. Point blank. So if you do, good for you. Talk some sense into him.


As for everyone here and what happened today, chill the fuck out. We've been here too long and been through too much to let some little petty shit destroy what we have. We have dominant personalities, we have quiet personalities, we have people that have been here from the beginning, some that haven't. In the end, no one person is better than an another. Who gives a fuck? I don't. I think this place is very special. That's all that matters.

As far as the 'other' place goes, as far as I knew everyone knew about it, including Mayo. So again, I don't give a fuck. I don't say anything anywhere that I wouldn't say straight to Mayo's face.

I don't know who he is. Don't care. As Elena said earlier, he has become a friend of ours. That's all that matters.

Now, if I'm wrong about any of this shit or if someone thinks I'm full of shit, let me know now and I'll fucking disappear.













Yeah, right. I'm not that easy to get rid of. ^_~

Be prepared. Tonight is going to be crazy comment night from sdock. Provided I can get someone to pass the note for me. Though something tells me....that you would find it if I left it on the porch.

Anonymous said...

If you don't care to read this, don't. I'm posting it for the people who want to know. Yes, even for those who outright frigging pestered some of us about it, while we were trying to get to bed, go to work, take care of real life stuff etc.

Okay, for anyone who cares, here's how it went from my POV and a few others who saw this start to go down.

About a week ago, some random person called "Alie" came blundering onto my LJ, chose a post where I was pretty upset over something going on in my life (justified this by saying she'd chosen one she thought no one would pay much attention to) and pulled the "zOMGzz I know Gerard Way, is Mayo really him?!!" thing that pretty much everyone knows I don't like. Well you know me, I don't stand, sit or squat for that kind of bulljive, and dumbass spelling and grammar gets on my last nerve as well, so I said as much. I told her to GTFO with her crappy, rediculous spelling. (Search this blog and some anons for that unique spelling.)

Around the same time, a bunch of us from this blog got a random email from some chick we didn't know asking the same question. Umm, hello, decorum?

Alie took exception to this and a few of her friends were going to "come find me." A few of them came over here and tried to start trouble. Andrea, however, said, "Hey, whoa, I like those people. There's no need for that." Which was cool.

Well, needless to say, the bunch of us felt that these emails and messages were not only undecorous and weird, but slightly stalkery, too. We didn't feel like we could post about it at DM because we have our share of mean-spirited anons and lurkers over there who so hate to see the bunch of is getting on. We mentioned it in a different place that everyone knew about except--we thought--the vultures.

While Alie's friend was over here starting trouble, s/he mentioned that Alie was a reporter for TMZ. Most of us thought, "Uh huh, sure. A writer who can't write well." But on the other hand, it was possible--and were we willing to risk getting inundated at BlogBelieve 'cause someone had a big mouth and a chip on their shoulder? This is often called an open community. It's not. It is someone's blog. Everyone is welcome; Mayo would not turn anyone away. But that does not mean that we want or will accept people asking us dumb questions through email, crashing the blog to slate us, or posting about us over at places like BuzzNet where they latch onto anything that might even resemble perhaps a discarded sock that might have once belonged to Gerard Way. And the last thing we want is anything that gets said here to end up in TMZ. Because even if we don't know whose blog it is, we know whose it isn't, and we don't need false info splashed everywhere and people coming here for the wrong reason. Most of all, we say a lot of personal stuff here and at DM. A lot of stuff about our lives and the people in them. The last thing we all need is people who have an agenda coming over and getting all up in our Kool Aid. There's "being exclusive" and then there's "not being an idiot and a doormat." These are two different things. Sorry to break it to you, but you don't have to like everybody.

So when it came to light that Alie might have been lurking at our other blog too, I mothballed it. This was last night. I also cautioned everyone to keep your business to yourself, because someone here was really, really interested in us and she and her friends were not above posting stuff about our personal lives, too.

Unfortunately, we couldn't say or do too much because Alie is a friend of Andrea here, and like Andrea, so we figured we'd just let it go. We went to look at Andrea's blog and saw some references to something akin to a kind of MRC "roleplay" or something like that through blogs. A few months ago there was some anonymous person on here saying that all of these blogs were a bunch of MCR fans doing some kind of roleplaying game and we started to wonder if this whole thing was, well, exactly that. It looked pretty likely, especially when considering that Andrea's AIM name is similar, if not the same, as the one of someone claiming to be "Tim", supposedly the new fiance of "Kat", which is Gerard Way's (apparently hard done by) ex. (Which I never bought. Sorry.) (Is the Gerard Way stuff ever going to frigging end?)

We've also got a friend here who we like a lot and we've always found pretty sincere, SS. A few of us were talking one night about he ended up on this scene. He used to keep a personal blog too, one that somehow got leaked. A sure sign, we thought, or someone's sincerity in their desire for privacy (or lack thereof,) is whether or not they leaked it themselves. If you leaked your own blog, you obviously wanted it to be found; you did not want your words to remain private. Often if an anonymous source leaks their blog, that anonymous source is the blog owner. (Hi, Mayo.)

But it wasn't an anonymous who mysteriously googled and found our friend's private blog. It was Andrea.

Is that an accusation? No, just an observation, but you must imagine how odd it seemed after all of this had started to go down.

Last night a bunch of us figured that these observations came down to one of two options: Mayo and all of us were about to get played, hard, or, Mayo was playing us hard. Because all of a sudden, the "roleplay" thing started to make a whole hell of a lot of sense.

That was last night, and I honestly wasn't really feeling the "roleplay" option. What I was feeling--and I think that most of us who had seen these things was feeling-- was that, because all of a sudden Alie was on the scene, some crap was about to go down. So I urged everyone to STFU about themselves, about Mayo, about their private lives. And we all urged Mayo to, I don't know, let us know something if he knew.

Right after I went to bed, this post came along. Heartbreaking, right? Sounds like the end of something special?

Huge surprise, there is Alie posting on BuzzNet about Gerard breaking up with Lyn Z. Links to here getting posted all over the place. Tons of anons and mean people on the other blog. What does any of this have to do with Gerard and Lyn Z? Nothing. That post? A pretend "scorned ex" trying--and succeeding--to start some drama.

I do find it odd how it coincided with this entry though.

Now the question on the table is this: Did Alie just take this random blog and run with it? Or was it set up to look like these two things happened at the same time?

Here's the only thing that matters to me: That Mayo is A) not in with these people and this stupid game or B) that if he is not, he is not going to be dragged into it, which seems to be the idea if that's the case.

Like I say, I only know who Mayo isn't. He is not Gerard Way. I've liked him. I've enjoyed these blogs. The only thing that would change that--at least for me--would be if he was in with these nut-jobs. These nut-jobs who have followed us around the internet, sent us emails, crashed our LJ's, crashed this blog, posted stupid stuff on BuzzNet, slated us here and there, and generally been a nuisance. (Andrea, I'm not saying you've personally done this. But you have to admit, what happened to us all last week, and especially today was stupid and mean and should not have happened.)

If that is not the case, then all I want is for these people to leave us the hell alone, take your Buzznet, your stupid Gerard rumors (NO ONE CARES!) your pretend "I know what this is all about / I'm in with the band" games, and GTFO. Leave us, and Mayo, alone.

As far as some of the anons today, even the nice "let's pull it together" ones, let me put it to you this way: All anons are anonymous today. Our friend doesn't tend to post when there is drama, and when there is not drama and he does post, he finds a way of letting us know. However, other people might be invested in finding out what's up so much that they pretend to be someone we know. I hate that. I have always hated that. That really, really burns me, to jerk people around like that, even if it is supposedly "for the greater good."

In short: I care about you, Mayo. I seriously think we all do. I don't want you to be hurt. I also don't want BlogBelieve to get overrun with people from goddamn TMZ, BuzzNet, or people who think you're Gerard Way. I don't want the people I really like here to be run off because of stuff like this. I've loved it here and, for as long as you keep it going, I will continue to love it here.

Unless you are a part of this.


What I really feel badly about is that if you have nothing whatsoever to do with this, then you obviously have something going on right now, and you don't need this crap.

But neither do we. You know?

Sdock, I forgot to mention. Focus on the relationship issue first and foremost. Please take a look at how you can get out of it. Talk it through with us if you need to. The job is a part of life. It pays the bills. You can deal with that later. But your home life does not sound good. Have you started looking at getting an apartment? Maybe get a 6 month lease and tell him you need some time away. You are not stuck. You can change this.

anima,

I don't even think I make enough money to move out and live on my own. And I can't go back and live with my mother....I mean I could, but I can't.


What's up at Mayoz?

sally said...

Nothing Sdock

Anons bitching as usual, and Kool aid pitcher has bust a wall.

sdock10 said...

Oh Good Lawwwwwwhd!

It's no fucking wonder Mayo can't hear anything...buzz, buzz, buzz. Hell, I can't even hear anything myself.

Mayo,

I'm here hanging and it's quiet here. You're more than welcome to come sit in the swing with me. We could just sit and not even have to say anything. Just listen to the night.

Or we could pound the hell out of that punching bag...

...just offering.

anima said...

Sdock, have you even looked into it? Some apartments are pretty cheap. You just need to really look and ask around. If not then, I would get a second job waiting tables a couple nights a week. Anything is possible.

LHM has a bunk bed!

O_o

I'm sleepy.

Xanax works well at making you not give a fuck! Trouble is it makes me even meaner than I already am.

Grrrrrr.

For the record, Omarosa is a beeeeyoootttchh!

Ok, be back in a bit....

Anonymous said...

Sdock, I wish I had a suggestion to actually help you, but god, all I can say is that you need to get out of this. There has to be a way?

Leaping empty handed into the void. I know. I feel for you.

MissTottenham said...

sdock,let's run away together.

sdock10 said...

Please post to Mayo for me:



Mayo,

My friend, how are you doing this twisted, mind fuck of a Thursday? I hope you are doing so much better than I think you might be doing. So see even if I think you are doing well, I still am hoping you are doing better than that. I'm hopeful like that. Me? I am not even sure it's worth discussing. Feels like I keep tasting the same regurgitated shit in my mouth day after day after day. You'd think that after doing it long enough that I would either get used to the taste or just fucking stop. So far, neither has happened yet.

Is it just me or is it awfully fucking loud in here? I mean I'm on the porch and I can still here all the yelling and screaming. I can imagine there is a ton of finger pointing and blaming going on. I'm actually kind of glad that I don't have to sit in the middle of it and watch. Don't get me wrong...I miss the corner. I miss it terribly, but the porch is nice. It's quiet out here. I was thinking that maybe when you get here you might want to just sit with me for awhile. We could just sit in the swing and enjoy the silence together. Nothing but the sounds of the night. We'd look at each other and know that we both are carrying the burden of heavy thoughts and heavy hearts, but we wouldn't feel the need to spill or spew. We'd just enjoy the comfort of knowing that each of us knows exactly how the other feels, and that would be enough. That would be all that we would need. And we would watch the night slip away into morning....hoping that with the sunrise...new hope would spring forth. And we'd get up and be on our way to try this thing called life one more fucking time. Grateful for the chance and for the new day.

Mayo, I wish you inner peace and quiet tonight. Close your eyes and swing on the porch with me.


Love to You Always,
S

p.s. I forgot how pretty the stars were.

Nikki, where are youuuuuuuuu?

MissTottenham said...

We could run anywhere you like sdock.

sally said...

Sdock,

I just posted your comment at Mayo's

sdock10 said...

Thank you, thank you, thank you, KD


Where do you want to go MissT?

I've never been anywhere so I don't know where a good place would be.

Anonymous said...

I just feel really ...I can't find the words...not sad...just blah.

MissTottenham said...

We'll go somewhere hot sdock. Crete is lovely, we'll start there.

sdock10 said...

MissT,

That sounds absolutely perfect.

Now, how much money do we need?

Oh yeah and I don't have a passport....hmmm.

HEY YALL

MissTottenham said...

I hope you get loads of nice pressie LHM. Have a great day.

Sdock, you have to get a passpot sweetie.

anima said...

Happy Birthday LHM!

Sdock, do you want any help? I mean, we offer but it gets overlooked. [just as I admited at Mayo's, I've already had a whiskey or two... I apologize if I sound a little looney.]

I (we) really want to help. Will you let us?

sdock10 said...

Well, I get someone calling me out again at Mayo's.

Fuck it...

Why do people feel the need to do that? Why??

Why does it matter what I write? WHY?

anima said...

P.S. LHM, my birthday is in about 26 days. I'm excited too.

anima said...

Awww, Sdock don't let it bother you.

I learn a lot about myself from everyone, even the anons - good and bad. Take the value and let the rest roll off your shoulder.

Someone could be just looking out for you.

*HUGS*

sally said...

Sdock,

Try to ignore that post. They are just assuming things and have no understanding of where you are writing from (your heart).

I enjoy reading what you say to Mayo. You make a lot of sense a lot of the time.

MissTottenham said...

sdock, just ignore them.

sdock10 said...

Yeah, I know what they are trying to say...the overbearing part is what got me.

I don't ask anyone to read what I write to him.

Just skip if you get tired of my dramatic, wallowing, overbearing, self pitying self.

But today of all days after the shittiest of days, it just hurts and it sucks.

PERIOD!

Anonymous said...

Truth hurts.

Slices like a hot knife through butter.



Anon,

You are right. But you knew that already, didn't you?

Fuck yes, you did.

MissTottenham said...

It's not the truth sdock. It is the opinion of one anon person who you don;t know.

Does their opinion even matter to you.? It doesn't matter to me.

sdock10 said...

Maybe they are right.

It could be overbearing I suppose.

MissTottenham said...

sdock, don;t even give what they said another thought.

Anonymous said...

sdock my Internet is being a bitch and I can't get into Mayo's but Honey you know I would go use my lightsaber on anyone who messes with you. You know that right?

sdock10 said...

Elena,

Yep, I sure do. Thank you.



MissT,

I'm just very touchy tonight and that fucking hit me in the gut.

Martha Smith-Jones said...

SD10 I can't get on Mayo's to read what is being said about you. But why let someone who doesn't know you get to you.

We are friends here a family and we want to hear what is going on with you and we want to help. It is our choice and we chose to listen to you because we like you.

Anonymous said...

Sdock:


Don't listen to an effin word that dimwit said, okay?

I went to your house.

To save the day I hope.

Martha and Mustard,

Thank you for your words.

Mustard, I knew you wouldn't leave me.

SS is here! SS is here!

Wish someone would tell SS that we are waving to him from Mayo's porch.

*waves frantically to SS**

MissTottenham said...

*claps along with sdock*

ss is here!!!!!!!!!!!!

sdock10 said...

MissT,

Tell him! Tell him!

Tell him that he has a bunch of friends who can't get in to talk to him but we miss him and we are waving to him and we thank him for stopping by to visit.

MissTottenham said...

I will do sdock.

MissTottenham said...

K beat me to it.

elena said...

Oh I wish I knew what was happening. What is SS saying?

elena said...

sdock you're waving so hard you're gonna fall off the porch girl.

He knows we're here...
At least I hope he does..

sdock10 said...

MissT,

I knew it was SS who left that comment for you! I fucking knew it!

Elena,

Can you load just the comments? That's what I am doing.

MissTottenham said...

Heres the thing, I have been trying to read the comments but I still don't understand what has happened to cause such chaos.

Would it help if I tipped my hat to you?





Temple (aka MissT) said...
Hello anon, it's nice to have you back.

Can I ask if you were the one who left me those lovely arabic words when I was feeling down?


Anonymous said...
Busted! Probably because my Arabic was so bad.

Hey Entropy! Tell Mustard she'll always be astute in my eyes.

Fimble, thank you, I appreciate that.

Kapunua, I was reading the long comment from earlier and while still confused by most of it, I'd like to respond.

Anon, I would love to know what bands you like. I myself have always and forever will love The Smiths. They have defined who I am as a person in some ways.

Sad but true.

It seems that recent events in Blogbelieve have caused not only my identity but my integrity to be called into question.

I am aware that most of you are genuinely unconcerned with my identity and have adopted a laissez faire approach, as it is irrelevant to our Blogbelieve friendship, but I cannot remain silent while my intentions and motives are under suspicion.

Does it sting? Yeah, sure it does.

Do I understand how frustrating it must be for you guys? Of course.

I want to make something perfectly clear, in case there was any doubt.

I am in no way associated with any of the people you were discussing earlier.

I do not personally know anyone in Blogbelieve (well, perhaps I do, I'm kind of ambivalent about that actually.)

My blog was supposed to be private, I have absolutely no idea how it was discovered, to this day it still remains a mystery to me.

This is terrible. Now it takes forever to get on the porch. I'm like out in the yard getting eaten up by bugs. I'm just gonna go over there by that big tree and fall asleep. Promise this is the last bit of whining you'll hear from me tonight. Hope I can read the comments tomorrow. Night guys..

It's all your pictures. Those + the Blogger icons slow it down. You can't do anything about the Blogger icons, but you can do something about the userpics.

Go to Settings and disable commenters userpics.

mayo,

were you the anon who said "goddammit! you are stronger than this" last night?

even if you weren't, it's a comment i haven't been able to get out of my head. i've re-read your poem and your postscript. i've tried to hear what you're saying in the spaces between the words. and i feel ashamed.

mayo, you came to us last night with something real from your life, and i was so caught up in the drama we invented that i wasn't really there for you. i feel like i failed you, and i'm sorry.

your entry last night was about endings, whether one from the past or a current one i don't know, but it's clearly one that lives in your heart still.

there's a prayer i sometimes say on the threshold of the new year, and one part of it goes like this: "what is meant for me to leave behind, i leave behind. what is meant for me to carry forward, i carry."

mayo, maybe this ending was something that was meant to be. maybe it isn't something you need anymore.

and that isn't comforting if you are heartsore, i realize. i'm sorry. i can't comfort you. i'm just words on your screen. you can't see my face, can't read the sympathy in my expression.

all i can do is reaffirm my purpose here. i still myself, i quiet the chatter, and i listen for your voice.

always.

good night, mayo. sleep well, dream well, and wake refreshed.

(i'm well aware that i've made plenty of assumptions in this comment, but i gave my heart rein. please laugh and shake your head if i've said anything too over the top, yes?)

toujours said...

it's okay, paperheartxx. i always take a long time to write my bedtime comments.

thanks to whoever re-posts my typically bloated comment over at mayo's. i really appreciate it.

good night everybody. sweet dreams.
