At our backs the castle door,
others feel free to ignore
this extension of extended metaphor
On the porch swings where we sit,
quick of tongue and fleet of wit
games and poems to submit
Open books in open hands,
poetry from other lands,
lyrics from our favorite bands
A telling word, a single note,
and meaning in a random quote:
significance of what we wrote
Different cultures and aesthetic,
for this we're not apologetic!
We are just beyond poetic!
Killers, X Files, Broken Bride
never are these words denied,
here they often all collide
from the early light of dawn,
as we used to, still wait on
the random poetry anons
Jack White, movies, TBS,
have you wisdom to profess?
Here, the answer's always "Yes"
Here we play, by words transfixed,
Haiku and pop culture mixed,
nothing broken, nothing fixed
Here is truth and here's creation
joy and horror, pain, elation,
in a story, small salvation
And here is laughter, here we're free
to be whatever we may be
and though others may disagree,
we greet the castle, greet its lord
and do so of our own accord
and shun the frothing, rabid horde
Be it known I'd so much rather
read my friends and all their "blather,"
on the porch here, where we gather.

Go With The Flow
This River Is Wild
Leaves are falling down
On the beautiful ground
I heard a story from the man in red
He said the leaves are falling down
Such a beautiful sound so I think you
Son, I think you better go ahead
But you always hold your head up high
Cause it's a long, long, long way down
This town was meant for passing through
But it ain't nothing new
Now go and show them
That the world stayed round
But it's a long, long, long way down
You better run for the hills before they burn
Listen to the sound of the world
And watch it turn
I just want to show you what I know
And catch you when the current lets you go
Or should I just get along with myself
I never did get along with everybody else
I've been trying hard to do what's right
But you know I could stay here all night
And watch the clouds fall from the sky
This river is wild
This river is wild

god i have just ran back from the park with my lad to get here in time!!
thats fuckin dedication!
morning!
A truely worthy win FASC!
thank you PP! lovely to see you.
Good morning FASC!
*pats on back*
*glues FASC's running shoes together*
Good morning Socky!
Being 29 Feb and all, do you think the guys of BlogBelieve should be running scared from all the 'marriage proposals' they will no doubt receive here today? ^_~
O_O
Marriage proposals? Good thing I've already been there and done that.
Solly...look out!
Morning everyone! It's effin' Friday!
Wait, Smoke...are you saying I am going to ask my Dude to marry me?
Uh fuck no, no I am not.
And if you are saying he is going to ask me.....well then equally.
Uh no, no he is not. I checked with Satan and he told me hell was still hot and had not frozen over.
So it's all good in da 'hood.
Hi there princess!
Yes, it is an odd tradition that rears it's head every four years, whereby on this day a girl can ask their guy to marry them.
How's LHM doing? Has he shaken off his illness yet?
Hey PP!
What's for breakfast? I'm starving!
Well I am off to rock the socks off Friday....or something like that.
Hope you all have fine time!
See ya after 5!
haha you girlies make me smile!!
Solly, crikey ordinarily you'd have to wait another 6 hours before breakfast time arrives here.
*goes and quickly rummages in kitchen just for solly*
Hmm, waffles, maple syrup, mars bars, kiwifruit, bananas, ughh -VERY juicy plums, rockmelon, pomegranate juice and dijon mustard?
*whips up a fresh fruit salad (minus plums), heats waffles, pours syrup on top, opens juice and pours into a tall glass.
(discovers a type of mustard can't actually be tied to socky)
*chases socky down the road with breakfast*
Solly,
Well, I talked with Satan this morning before he rolled out of bed. (He keeps it nice and toasty for me ^_^)
You know what he said?
Nevermind, I don't know what he said because I wasn't listening. O_o
Sorry, I have a bad habit of tuning him out sometimes.
PP,
LHM is doing alot better today. He's back to his little skater punk self. Now it's nothing but wrestling moves and skate tricks.
*puffs back in from chasing solly*
Now it's nothing but wrestling moves and skate tricks.
Much better then ^_^
Have a good day girls.
*leaves a barrel for FS to shake her monkeys into that PP knows nothing about*
Can you name one thing in your life that has changed as a direct result of being part of this and Mayo's blog?
Me, I feel much less alone. I am more myself in the real world and more willing to share my real self with others. If that makes any sense.
it makes perfect sense anon.
my answer would be, i have found that i am a push over when i was with my friends and family. i never spoke my mind and i always said what needed to be said to avoid confrontation. i was a shadow of my true self.
now, i would like to think that when i get back home into my natuaral environment with my friends, i will be more myself. i will just be me and if anyone doesnt like it then sod them!
i have also met peopel that i would have never met. and they have become friends. thats the most i will take away with me
thats what i have learnt from this blog
That's great, Anon. ^_^
Me, well, I have come to realize that there are wonderful, caring people out there in the real world and not everyone is completely full of shit. I actually care about the people here and that in itself is a big change for me. I was the type of person that didn't want to be bothered with other people. I didn't want to know anyone outside of my family. Why? I don't know. I guess I just liked my routine and my life and not having to deal with anyone else's shit. Since I've been here though, I have realized that is no way to be and I had actually been missing out on knowing some very cool people. You know, you only get one chance to live and how was I helping anybody by ignoring them? I wasn't. And in the end, I was the one who was going to totally miss out. So, I'm thankful for this place and Mayo's and what it's taught me. I hope that I can be a better person because of it.
Mwah! That's for you, Anon!

I spend a lot more time on the computer!
But seriously folks, I get a warm and fuzzy feeling in the morning when I log on and there's half a dozen people to chat to about life, love and MCR when I really should be working - it can make a bad day bearable.
Kass xx
*blows kiss to Kass ^_~
Who knew, right?
That warm fuzzy feeling kind of scared me to start with. I was like, "WTF IS WRONG WITH ME?"
^___^

Me.
I'm not angry anymore. I understand. I'm not just a message in a bottle. And I didn't know people out there got it. I've made friends here, and I wouldn't trade that relationship for the world. I've been blessed in finding this place, and it would take all day to say why.
Anon:
I'm glad you've found people here that understand and make you feel like you're not alone. That's a great feeling.
See you all in a little while!
MUSTARD!!!!! COME BACK!!!!
Okay, see you in a little while.
Anon,
Where'd you go? Hmmmmm????
what are you going to have for lunch today, a rice cake.
boring ass Food Anon
-snacks anon
Oh my. O_O
Food Anon is gonna come smack you.
Snacks, I had a cheesy rice burrito. Are you jealous? Hell yes, you are.
Did your lunch come with a hot sauce packet that had a clever comment on it? I bet not.
More later.
i bet you have gas now from your burrito bizzzzzitch.
btw, who uses those nasty ass packet hot sauces anyway.
-snacks anon
PPB, I feel utterly neglected by you today.
I know. I was doing it on purpose, too. ^_^
What you been up to today?
That hurts more than your constant beatings, sweet Princess.
Awwww, you know I'm just messing with ya!
I had to go to a school program for my niece. She has never recieved this special award before for being the 'best' kid and today she did. I'm not sure if her father paid the teacher off yet. O_o
Aww, you are a good aunt. I forgive you for ignoring me then.
Hey Smoke and PPU. :)
You guys doing alright?
I'm a sweet aunt. ^_^
Maybe not as sweet as Solly is to LHM though. Yeah, probably not.
I WANNA GO HOME!!!! >_<
Hey, MIB.
Isn't it weird to think that everything we do today will vanish.
I think that's so big, I can't even wrap my head around it.
What you mean, like it being the
29th and all?
Scorpio (10/23-11/21)Listen to what a family member has to say about your life -- even if it annoys you.
PPU, that's me and you. So...
I don't like to listen to things that annoy me. Do you?
No, I do not and usually will not.
I like this one better, Princess:
SCORPIO
Daily Overview: February 29, 2008
You are living in the moment more today, which is liberating -- but also brings an element of risk, as impulsive behavior could lead to difficult situations (or great rewards, for that matter).
Yes, that is much better.
hello porch dwellers!!
Hey FASC!
I wish I could say I was living in the moment but I'm not. Not really. I don't even know that I could. I do the same things every single day.
Blah, blah, blah.
What about you, fellow Scorpion? Are you living in the moment?
Absolutely not.
I live long after the moment has passed.
And just how can one live IN the moment?
I'd like to. Maybe one day.
When LHM is grown up. ^_^
Ask my husband, he could write a how-to book on the subject. ^_^
So, PPU, if you don't mind me asking, what day were you born? I get into horrorscopes. ^_^
Well, seems as if I'll be spending the remainder of my day on the porch :)
It doesn't bother me. I like it out here.
Smoke? Is Sdock okay? She trailed off last night.
That's what I figured it was. I hope everything's cool.
Same shit, again. I'd much rather leave a huge elephant in the room than argue at Mayo's. I know the dude doesn't give a rat's ass about having to read through all of the bickering. I wish we could bring it out here.
Exactly. Me, too.
PPU! Answer me!
Damn, impatient woman! Nov. 1st.
Finally! ^_^
Mines on the 12th.
I'm a full blown, straight up, inside and out, 100% Scorpio.
My moon, sun, venus and all that shit is in Scorpio.
Solly is straight up Libra. She's always the one to 'keep the balance' and be all level-headed and stuff.
When is her birthday?
It's on the 10th.
Everyone in my family is just about it, is a Libra.
WTF?
You can imagine how busy I was trying to rock the boat growing up. There sure were enough people to steady it! ^_~
Just playing. I was totally a good girl.
Ok, that first sentence didn't make sense but you know what I mean. O_o
Mustard, what sign are you again?
Am I alone? :(
Well that just sucks. :(
Well, I'm leaving. Not that anyone hears me. :)
See you all in a little bit!
Uh so like ummmm....hey?
Hey Porch,
How are you today? I hope you are doing well. Did you miss me today? I missed you. My day? Thanks for asking. It was busy as fuck all motherfucking day long. I'm tired, a little cranky, and I really should go outside and play with my dogs. At least I am taking Monday off from work.....yessssssssss, shhhhhh don't tell dude.
Porch, can I ask you a question? Why do people rub me the wrong way? Seriously, lots of em just so so damn bad. I just don't understand it.
Funny story...we had a lady come work with us and she only lasted a week. She thought she was coming in to ride the gravy train with biscuit wheels. She didn't realize it was the crazy train straight to hell. Muahahahhaha!
Weak.
Thanks for listening, Porch.
I ♥ you.
&
I ♥ PPU!
Holy moly.
I missed Smoke a whole bunch of times O_O Sorry!!!
Good evening, Sdock! How's life?
The usual?
How do we do that?
Sdock, you can't hide from me.
The porch doesn't love you as much as I do. The swing and I have some competition, so ;)
Are you okay besides the stupidly long, meffin' day?
Hey Mustard,
I'm okay.
How are you?
The proverbial okay as well!
I'm just winding myself down for the weekend. May even get outside a bit.
I'm glad you've decided to take off from work on Monday. It's always good for the soul.
Yeah if I can overcome the riddled with guilt part. My daddy raised me to believe that you always go to work unless you are about to die from sickness. It's hard. I almost feel like I don't deserve it.
Yeah, but sometimes you just need to take a day off, you know?
Sometimes your mind needs a sick day.
My mind never takes a day off, Mustard. You of all people should know that.
Damn, I was thinking you wouldn't catch my hypocrisy.
No, you deserve a day off. Anyone that works hard to maintain a livelyhood deserves it.
Don't feel guilty.
So, I see SS stopped by. I hope he didn't leave covered in shit and stank.
Sdock, I'll be back in about an hour. Then we can do our deep discussion if you feel up to it. I'm getting that vibe tonight.
I'll see you in just a bit, okay?
Okay, Mustard.
I'll be about.
Yeah, SS came by. Right smack in the middle of it all. All I hope is that there is some understanding, and I'm sure there is.
SS is wise.
See you in a little while!
So I get bitched at for being on the computer...so, I get off the computer and sit on the couch...and I get bitched at for sitting on the couch and looking sleepy. He told me to get up and do something.
I SWEAR...I CAN'T WIN......EVER.
So I said I was tired and he let me know that his job requires more brain power than my job so for me to not even go there.
I just don't know what to do. In my own house, I can't get comfortable. Fuck, it's bad enough to not be comfortable in your own skin every day......but my own house?
I better go before it gets worse.
Love you guys.
Stop beating yourself up sdock.
You don't deserve unhappiness.
You have to make yourself find you happiness. Ain't nobody gonna do it for you. Be strong. You are stong now be it.
Elena, I appreciate that. Thank you.
I'll always be here for you sdock. Never doubt that.
Sdock,
It saddens me to hear you this way.
Back and ready.
Sdock, I'm sorry.
Hello Elena and KD.
Hey Mustard!,
She doesn't need to beat herself up this way. She has so much to offer.
Hello KD!
She doesn't need to beat herself up this way. She has so much to offer.
I know. We see it, but it's making her believe in herself enough for her to see it.
To know that what's in the mirror isn't vile. But, hypocrisy gets the best of me here, because I avoid mirrors at all cost.
Sdock, you are not vile. You didn't do anything to deserve the treatment you're receiving. You didn't.
It's very hard to make someone believe something that you see, but they cannot feel.
And the word vile is such an extreme term to use. Certainly not applicable in solly's case, nor Mayo's.
That's very true.
Applicable in a lot of situations. I feel as if I have no room to, for lack of a better word, coach someone when I can't even coach myself.
I try to help, but things I say overlap into the unknown for me.
And the word vile is such an extreme term to use. Certainly not applicable in solly's case, nor Mayo's.
Yes. And if being here has taught me one thing, it's that trying to change one's views of themself is the most difficult thing to do.
It has to come from within, but maybe we can plant the seed.
Yes mustard, it does come from within.
I think what this place has provided for some, is a different viewpoint, different perspective or some form of objectivity in sensitive issues.
It's pretty hard to get that from people within your circle if you relate in negative terms, because you has developed a pattern of communication with them, that's hard to break out of.
And for the record, the word vile is what I would associate with axe murderers, child molesters and obsessive sociopaths.
Why Mayo would even describe himself this way astounds me. Maybe out of guilt. I certainly hope not for emotional manipulation. Some won't fall for that. He seems to be a lost boy who gets really angry when things do not go his way and can be quite vicious in his reprisals. And they hurt. A bit of emotional maturity wouldn't go astray here.
Only Mayo will know what he meant by the term "vile."
I hope that if it was to describe himself, he realizes that we don't see him that way. But, he may feel differently with his real life.
That's why I maintain that we will be here to help in any way possible. We will try to show him that that isn't what everyone sees, and maybe that will change the reflection.
Mustard, he is a lucky man to have people like you here.
Now I must go and unpack my shopping. I just couldn't resist all the new pretty bras and panties ;)
For Sock,
You are not vile, you are a wonderful, loving and caring person. You possess a true gift, you can emotionally read and respond to people, highly valuable. Do not let him ground your self worth. When he does this, he is showing you his discontent with himself, and projecting it onto you. Even if you do not believe in yourself, we believe in you.
Goodnight.
Goodnight, KD. It's been a pleasure :) Have fun with your undies!!!
Hi Mustard
So he says....I tried to tell you that you weren't what I was looking for and that my heart died a long time ago.
Hey Sdock :)
I don't know what to say other than I'm sorry.
I tried to tell you that you weren't what I was looking for and that my heart died a long time ago.
I don't know how to help you. I've never been here.
I can't tell you to stay strong, because I know sometimes we can't.
I can't tell you that it will be okay, because sometimes it isn't.
I can't tell you that tomorrow will be better, because sometimes it's not.
I wish I could though. I would, and you know I would.
Just as I was trying to eat my pizza he throws that shit out there and then I can't help it but tear up and he says don't cry. Why are you crying? I warned you. I told you to stay away from me.
I know Mustard. I know you would. I appreciate that.
Sdock, does that mean it's over?
Or is that just his way of "opening up?"
What did he mean?
Well, does he see the reason you don't want to continue living like this?
Does he even care why?
Now he just came over here and put his head on my chest and said he wanted to see if my heart was still beating. He said he wasn't trying to turn it to ice.
Then he goes on to tell me how to wash one of his shirts correctly.
Sdock, I don't know.
I don't know how to help.
sdock, would you please get rid of that douchebag, you deserve so much better,
Sdock?
6 years...it's not that easy.
I don't know what to do. I'm here, but I don't know what to say to make it okay.
One hour and forty-five minutes to go before we mothball this month for another year!!
Make that one hour and fifteen minutes - even better!
Mustard,
I am just lucky to have all of you here but this is something that I have to fix. I am the only one who can figure it out, who can fuck it up, who can fix it, who can forget it, who can finally walk away.
Just me.
And with every second that ticks off the clock, it's getting closer and closer to judgment day.
Hello RW :) We can forget this day until the next leap year. Can I get a hoorah?!
Sdock:
That's right. You will be the only one that can do what needs to be done. We have faith that you will make the best decision for yourself. We'll still be here to support you, promise.
HURRAH, Mustard!!
And on that note, I shall retire for the evening. Just wanted to pop over to the porch and wish everyone a happy weekend :)
I shall be around again tomorrow. have a good one!
Socky sweetie,
*hug*
I know it seems hard to let go of six years, that is a long time of good (and not so good memories), but you have decades in front of you yet.
You deserve a happy life with someone who adores and appreciates you.
You deserve to be able to be yourself.
