And then
I will be basking in the Carolina Drama while Consoling the Lonely, Saluting My Solution, and playing along with those Broken Boy Soldiers.
And possibly turning into liquid form and melting into the floor of The Tabernacle.
How lame am I?
How freaking excited am I?

Mornin' Folks!
Whoop! Whoop! It's 6am on a lovely fall Tuesday morn and I just want to crawl back in bed, but oh well, oh well, oh well...
Try and have a great day!
Catch ya'll laterzzzz!
Uh oh I almost fell back asleep up thar.
hey sdock!!
thanks though I had a great time, it's nice to be back
xx
Ergo,
You were most certainly missed 'round these parts. So glad you had a great time, and I can't wait to see more of you pics.
I have so many pics! about 600 or more, and a few videos, and so many stories, I think I'll need a week to tell it all too
but tonight I ma so tired, the lack of sleep is well and truly caught up (though I am functioning extremely well for such little sleep) It's just on 8:30 and I'm going to head off to bed very soon
see you tomorrow, have a great tuesday
Welcome back, Ergo! ^_^
Have a great day everyone!
Morning! :)
HiYa RW!
G'nite Ergo!
But, Smoke, tomorrow is Jack White Day! It will all be worth it and so much better than Rex Manning Day!
Hi, Solly! ^_^
Happy day-before-Jack-White Day!
Because The Porch ♥s Ludo:
In Space
The moon is old
All dusty craters
Fear and panic
Orbit mars
Saturn's dark side rings
Are just plain beautiful
Back on earth
You're waking up soon
Stretching in
The morning light
No celestial body
Could compare to you
And even though
I'd always dreamed of
Going to the stars
In space
What I think about is
You and me
And atmosphere
This place
Is terrible and endless
Counting moonrocks
For the cause
Just me in a little pod
I can't wait for gravity
To bring you close to me
All I've got's
This little window
Never lets me
See too much
I bet the leaves are changing
There again
The solar winds
To zero kelvin
I'm hurdling
And pressurized
If only I could
Get a breath of you
And even though
I'd always dreamed of
Going to the stars
In space
What I think about is
You and me
And atmosphere
This place
Is terrible and endless
Counting moonrocks
For the cause
Just me in a little pod
I can't wait for gravity
To bring you close to me
I hope this message finds you
And you won't feel so alone
Even if I never make it
Home
In space
All I think about is
You and me
And atmosphere
In space
You're picture's
All I look at
My place
Is written below
Watch the leaves change
In the yard
Dreaming of the stars
I can't wait for gravity
To bring me home
I bet Mayo would sing that song. It's got a whole bunch of his mostest favorite things in it...moon, light, gravity, space.
Jules,
Can I just tell ya that every freakin' time I listen to this line...
She moves through moon beams slowly
I hear...
She moves through moon beans slowly
Thanks for that!!
Hi there! =)
Socky,
I hope you're practicing sweat catching today. ;)
Princess, 12 hours?!? Can you wind the clock forward when no one's watching?
RW, I hope your undies came back washed.
I saw what Fimmy's dickie did. O_o
Have a great day everyone. =)
In Space - Ludo aka A Bunch of Talented Goofballs :)
That dude is so kooky and I just want to squeeze the life out of him.
PP,
I wish I could! 12 hours is like ewwwwwwwwww! Not fun at all. :(
See you guys tonight!
Jack White sounds terrific with Alicia Keys. The video is well done also.
There's a video out now?! Whoop Whoop!
I found the song last week, but I haven't seen a video. Do you have a link to it, Anonymous?
I think the song is great. It's so eerie feeling and so, gosh, Jack White. :)
I'll try to catch you guys later! Have a great Tuesday!
A quick one...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uf_ffbi0uWg
It's on several websites.
Good Morning everyone!
Welcome back Ergo. Nice to read you.
And I'm lucky, I can crawl back to bed :)
Solly I got to read your comments in the last post, and I kinda understand what you and your 32 personalities are trying to articulate.
The scenario you so aptly described sounded so similar to a horror movie, namely getting attacked by an unknown entity.
You can only empower yourselves by removing yourselves from this. And although you do consider him a friend and care for him, you cannot take responsibility for his blog.
I personally believe everyone from this community has a right to participate at Mayo's. Apart from the fun times, I miss the individual interpretations given by each about the posts and various other topics.
There is no easy solution to this. However I do think you should not feel intimidated in cyberspace. There are enough problems to deal with in real life, this should not be an addition.
Anyway enough of my ramble. Have a great day/evening everyone :)
Okay, I have a moment, so let me start:
Ergo! Great to have you back! I'm so glad you had fun. :)
Anonymous, thank you so much for the link. They made it look so cool and suave. It made me all "chuffy" inside!
KD, great to see you! It always seems like an eternity between your visits, and it's so, so great to read you again.
And although you do consider him a friend and care for him, you cannot take responsibility for his blog.
So true, and I don't think anyone expects anyone else to. I think there are just underlying things that won't ever go away and cracks that won't ever be filled, and as much as anyone would will that to happen, it doesn't change anything.
But, I think the hardest part for me, maybe for Sdock, maybe for Jules and Smoke, maybe for a lot of others, is that I get a lot of satisfaction out of helping people. I like to do that, and that's the hardest part, because, at this point, none of us can do it without creating another mess. And that's okay.
There are enough problems to deal with in real life, this should not be an addition.
I couldn't agree more. There are so many bad things going on in our world right now, some that I can't even believe, and though I've had a love for this place since day one, it just doesn't seem as important in the whole scheme of things. But, that will never, ever detract from the fact that these are beautiful people, Mayo and SS included, with kind hearts and contagious "word personalities."
It's just, I guess, something that will have to be worked on. I dunno anymore.
Smell you all later. :)
"Anonymous, thank you so much for the link. They made it look so cool and suave. It made me all "chuffy" inside!"
:)
You are very welcome.
Hola chiquitas.
Hi Porchies! ^_^
Hi, Ergo! Good to read you!
Socky, like KD, I read your comments about Mayo's in the last post. And to be honest, I think that everyone has their own idea of how to deal with it. Acknowledging the asshogs doesn't shut them up, but neither does ignoring them. It's a 'fucked if you do, fucked if you don't' situation.
Having said that, however, I'm not the kind of person to keep quiet when I see someone trashing anyone I consider a friend. I know I haven't been around much, and I definitely haven't been able to keep up with what's happening at Mayo's. But if I go there, my personal choice is to snark right back at them.
Jules is right -- it's Mayo's blog, and he probably does use it as a refuge. But dammit, there are a lot of us who've been there since the beginning, or shortly after it -- why the hell should we let a bunch of assholes who've just found the place recently dictate the mood of the place? They're like anyone other face on the interwebz -- they like to dish out the venom, but I'm sure they don't feel so great when it's tossed back at them. And while I completely understand people wanting to ignore it rather than get involved in it, I really hope that no one asks me to do the same, because I don't think I'm capable of just standing by and watching these trolls attack people I care about.
I think we all have many 'me's running around in our heads. But just think: if we didn't, we wouldn't be the crazy wimmens we iz. ^_^
Happy Tuesday, guys. House tonight - yeah!!!
I agree with everything alla you's said! Thanks for saying so clearly what I struggle with. :D
Sister, you just feel free to rip them a new one if you feel like it. You seem to be exempt from their wrath when you do. I called a dickweed "dickweed" and now there's a whole blog about it. :) Heh.
Solly and Princess, I'm sexcited for you guys! You're going to have a great time. Try to get some tin-types made. ;)
Today is a great day. I made my appointment for enrollment in the university. It's on Thursday. O_O That's so close.
Also, I went to the pet store where there are many cute boys, and they are all so nice to me. Both of them mistook me for early 20's (we were talking about age and metabolism,) and then Nick, the really sweet one (he reminds me of Byers from the Lone Gunmen; he's got a really gentle way about him and he wears black framed glasses) was totally crazy about my t shirt, which is an internet geek-joke shirt. ("All your base.") I've always wanted a cute boy to get that t shirt, and he totally got it,thought it was the coolest thing he ever saw and had a geekspasm over it. Then they gave me a discount. "Because you're so cool," they said. Those boys are so cute.
Also I bought Iron Man and Ludo and a cute towel ring for the kitchen and then I utterly finished my laundry and it's all pout away and neat and *sigh!*
Yes! HOUSE IS ON TONIGHT! :D
Hi Jules! ^_^
You're right -- I can't recall anyone but PPU ever telling me off. And I was being extra-snarky to PPU at the time, so I admired PPU for telling me I was full of shit. ^_~
Good to know that you don't mind if I mouth off at the Castle. :D
Sounds like you're having an awesome week... is Thursday the application day, or the interview?
It's so cool that the pet-store cuties got your 'all your base' shirt! Whenever I say it, people look at me like I just grew another boob or something. Guess ther was no interwebz before Facebook... *rolls eyes*
Bwaha! That was the cute thing; I was wearing this bra that shoves my rack up to Canada and I was feeling self-conscious, but he totally was not even checking out the goods. He was just all a-spasm over the t shirt.
All Your Base, dude. I mean, that's historical and wayyyyy funnier than anything you could ever hope to find on 4chan.
It think THursday is both application and interview. And I collect the stuff my Dr. needs to fill out, too. Hells, I dunno. I haven't applied to a college since 1990. O_O Scaryyyyyy
Well now I have to.
All your base are belong to us!
My favorites are the one with the lighted up windows (where it says "are belong to us" on the moon behind it,) and the Matrix code one. ^_^
BUH DUH
DUHN DUHN DUH DUHN
HEY!
That song makes you get your groove on, I'm just saying.
Jules, if I dun't see you before Thursday, GOOD LUCK!!! That's so exciting.
Know what was weird today?
I told Sdock already, but I got a notebook to start writing in, and I did today. And it was really weird. And oddly? It was way, way different than writing on here.
Mustard,
When I was getting out my truck today, I glanced down into my purse and saw my 3 notebooks and laughed about our conversation last night.
Bwuahaha, Fim was all like, "Botch has 6 bloody notebooks!"
Have you talked to Fim today? I hope she's doing okay after POOFing.
NO, I texted her middle of the day. I hope she's okay, she disdappeared last night.
I hope she's still chuffy.
I hope she's chuffy, too. Being chuffy is more amazinger than being happy, so, you know.
What song were you singing earlier on here anyways?
Just wonderin....
This time tomorrow, I will be in my spot at The Tabernacle getting ready for Jack White.
Hey guise!
I just got back from the cinema to see The Women, it was ok, but didn't live up to the hype.
*waves to Worm*
*calling out Mrs. Hellboy*
*paging Mrs. Hellboy*
LUCY, I'm hoooooooome!
So the movie sucked huh? That's disappointing, but right now is a bad time to see movies. It's basically the shit the studios didnt want to release in the summer.
That's probably the case now that I think about it!
Yeah, I had pizza though so that made up for the film being naff! :D
*waves to Frank*
MissT will be soooooo super jealous.
*busts down the door*
*runs into the room with her cape*
Never fear, mrs hellboy is here
*runs around the room*
*smacks leg on the corner of a table*
*falls on the floor*
I miss MissT.
*waves to Lucy Bean*
*brings first aid kit to Fimmy*
*falls over laughing*
Awwww! I love the piccie!! ^_^
RW, Can you tell that I am a hobbit sized?
*tackles Fimmy*
solly, i thought you asked rw to tell you about hobit sized sex.
do not ask me why lol.
Me too, Solly! :)
Hobbit-sized, with big tee-tahs!
I am already on the floor rw, so you will have to jump and sit on me :)
Fimmy,
o_O
*sits cross-legged on top of Fimmy's head like a strange purple-haired hat*
Big teetahs, Whoop Whoop!
Hey, RW! Hey, Fim!
hey slash *waves*
rw, you make me laugh. thank you.
PPU,
Mustard misses you, or should I say, MIB misses you.
She said you were made of
awwwwhhh-someness.
Hi, Mustard! :D
Fimmy: ♥
Oh my goodness, PPU, I did.
But, don't let that make you think my heart has turned to mush for unicorns much like yourself. Isn't going to happen. ;)
this is what our comedy actors do to our political leaders.
Can you imagine anyone doing that to George W. Bush??
I came in to tell you all that HOUSE is coming on and what do I see? A picture of our little selves when we met up! :D
♥ you guys. That was such a great day. ^_^
Hi, K :D
RW, there is actually a movie coming out called "W" about Bush, and from the trailer, it doesn't look all too flattering. I might have to see it. ^_^
Fuck me, House! I almost forgot!
Jules and Fimmy, I miss you guys. I wish we could do it all over again.
Interesting! I wonder if YouTube has it.
Ohhhhh, Princess and Solly! I love our picture! It brings me right back to the awesomeness of you two and Fimmy.
The trailer, i mean.
Hey, Jules!
Yeah! Wasn't there a bit of controversy over this "W" movie because the actor they originally picked to play the part said they just couldn't portray him or something? I found that interesting.
RW: I just watched it today on Yahoo, lemme see if I can find it for ya's.
And don't forget, IRON MAN came out today and I hope you all bought it. I know I've seen it a billion times already but now I can watch the commentary. ^_^
Was there, Pash? I didn't hear about it, but I know the dude is married to Barbra Streisand and she's a hardcore dem. ^_^
Fimmy and Jules,
I put our pic up on my calendar at work today too!
JACK WHITE TOMORROW!!!!!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!
Okay, I'm good now.
For RW: W.
O_O
Yeah, I think there was, and if I have my thoughts right, it was Christian Bale that was originally picked to play his character. And then he declined the part or something.
Solly, that's too awesome.
Hey, get some tintypes tomorrow! Oh man, did I use that joke already?
Cristian Bale as Bush? Why can I just not grasp that?
Jules,
What does that mean?
I'm sorry did someone say "Christian Bale"???
I couldn't see that either. But I guess Oliver Stone saw it in him. I dunno. I think it will be a highly interesting movie.
Wow! I want to see that!
Thanks for the link, K :)
Josh Brolin looks like he makes a great George Dubya.
Oh, in Cold Mountain Jack White played Georgia and he said the line, "Are we getting our tintypes made?" because he thought that they were going to take his picture. OMG, it was so harsh.
Okay you guys, I hate to blabber and run, but HOUSE is on! ^___^
Later!
Later, Jules!
Have fun!
Have fun, K!
Gonna shower, be right back...
Ooooooooooooh, I've never seen Cold Mountain.
*throws a rubber ducky at RW*
His name is George. Please keep him in sight at all times, 'kay? :)
Fim,
I am so, so incredibly glad to know you. Thank you for what you did.
there is no need for thank you's, cos i still felt bad after i did it. i just hope that he felt a little bit better than what he did.
Yes, there is a need for a Thank You, because not everyone would have done that, Fim. And what you did deserves some words.
well,
thank you mustard.
It means a lot :)
Back :)
*squeezes rubber ducky*
*sniffs*
Hey, RW!
I smellz all clean, Mustard ^_^
Thank you for the ducky :)
JACCCCCCCCCCCCK WHIIIIIIIITE!
OMG, I watched that video today with Jack and Alicia, and guess what? He plays drums!!! I almost died right there in my chair at work.
Sorry, I just fangirl when it comes to JW.
Are you excited, Solly?? :D
You're welcome, RW!!!!!!!
RE: Jack and banging
Did you notice how he held the rhythm stick in his left hand? Does he hold it wonky, because I've not seen a lot of drummers hold that left-handed stick in such a fashion.
Just curious.
I am so excited. I want to be close to bask in his awesomeness, but then again, I'm afraid that if I'm too close I will just disintegrate.
Mustard, I haven't seen many drummers do that.
RE: Jack and banging
O_O
Iz S&V going with you, Solly?
I didn't think I had either, Sdock. I have seen a lot of Jazz drummers, if there is such a thing, that use those other peculiar looking rhythm sticks with the feathery bottom, kinda resembles a fan brush, you know? The name is escaping me, but they tend to hold those like that, but not regular old drums sticks. I dunno! I thought it was quirky.
O_O
Bwuahahah, I know. That one was intentional.
Yep, yep, RW! She sure is!
Cool :)
Jack is made up of quirky, a little bit awkward, a lot uncomfortable and all things awesome and made of win.
I am tired! >_<
But our piccie is soooo pretty! I wasn't expecting that! ^_^
YAY! I wanna go back and see Mickahhh Moouuuse!
Okay, going to shower and make a grilled cheese for LHM the Bottomless Pit.
Be back later!
And I almost forgot! They unlocked Cherub Rock today on Rock Band.
I can't wait to try and get all whiney and whispery and high-pitched like Billy Corgan. ^_^
Okay, later!
Hi & bye, S&V! :)
are you chuffed, smok?
Hey, Smoke!
*steals LHM's sammich*
MUWHAHAHAHAH! ;)
Gonna head to bed now, methinks.
Have a lovely night, all! :)
G'night, RW!
Have a great night, RW! Talk to you tomorrow!
My little hobbit sized legs are the size of tree trunks! WTF? I should give up aerobic walking, my legs just get huge.
I'ma go ahead an go, guys! Thanks for the chat!
I hope you all have a great tomorrow. And Sdock and Smoke, I hope you guys have a totally awesome time seeing the Raconteurs. Sing a bit louder for me, okay? :)
LHM, think quick. What's 8.9993054433 x 7.youaretooawesome + 5? ;)
Anyway, goodnight guys. Night, Mayo and Night SS.
Well pooh! Errbody's gone! I guess I need to head on off, too. I gotta get up at 6am, work until 1pm, drive 3 and a half hours to Atlanta, wait for Jack White's awesomeness to consume me, drive 3 and a half hours back home, maybe get 2 to three hours of sleep, get up at 6am on Thursday and then work until 5pm.
*lets out a deep breath*
Oh my gawwwd.
I just gotta say the more I read In Space, I think Mayo would ♥ that song. I really do. Like you said, Solly, it has all his favorite things! And SS would probably dig some Go-Getter Greg. Bwah!
Love Me Dead is still PPU & PPB's song. 4-evah! Hee-hee!
Oh, and Mustard:
LHM said the answer is
999 billionyouareawesome. ^_^
Nighty-night Mayo, SS, errbody, James, Billy Corgan, and all of Ludo!
For the Folk of da Porch, a little Raconteurs ditty to warm your icy little hearts (yes, even yours Smoke):
These Stones Will Shout
(I feel compelled to just yell out for you)
Well you've impressed me so completely
I start obsessing to hear from you
Whatever you do, you do sweetly
It takes a lot to not take from you
You're not secure enough to tell me
Your first impression of all these clowns
So you'll be tricky enough to compel me
To take the lead and to speak out loud
Ooh yeah
Speak to me and don't speak softly
Talk to me and let me know
Grab hold of my shoulder and tell me
Grab hold and do not let go
Grab hold and do not let go
And if you find yourself repeating
Some of those incoherent sounds
Just talking to yourself is cheating
You might as well stick your head in the ground
Oooh yeah ohh
Speak to me and don't speak softly
Talk to me and let me know
Grab hold of my shoulder and tell me
Grab hold and do not let go
Grab hold and do not let go
I feel compelled to just yell out for you
To say the words that you can't bring out
But I cannot do everything for you
And if I don't, then these stones will shout
Yeah if I don't, then these stones will shout
Well if I don't, then these stones will shout
(If I don't then, these stones will shout...)
So if I were to just lay in silence
And see if you would take control
The stones below me would make me combat them
And they would wrestle me, pester me
Mess with me, just trying to free your soul
Speak to me and don't speak softly
Talk to me and let me know
Grab hold of my shoulder and tell me
Grab hold and do not let go
Speak to me and don't speak softly
Talk to me and let me know
Grab hold of my shoulder and tell me
Grab hold and do not let go
Grab hold and do not let go
Grab hold and do not let go
Grab hold and do not let go
Nite, guys! Have the best dreams ever!
Doubt, I hate that little fucker. Fear, I hate that fucker even more.
Combine the 2 fuckers and you get a whole lot of insecurity. An insecurity that is so overwhelming and so paralyzing that I almost catch myself moving backwards. But unfortunately and if I'm lucky, I will still be alive when I snap out of my dream like nightmarish state, time will have moved forward.
Right on by without me.
My calendar proves that.
p.s. I would go too far backwards anyways. Just so I could do it all over again.
You are stunning girls. All of you.
Goodnight.
I miss y'all. Please come back.
Ha, anon, assuming someone else was me. Guess what? I DO wish they would come back. And that's a great pic. Gah, I get so tired of blog politics. Almost worse than real world ones. Go Obama!
here's Ray's adventure
click
Happy Jack White Day!!! :D
Yay! It's Jack White Day! ^_^
If you're lookin' for an accomplice (For Mustard! Hee!)
Thank you, Carrie. Sorry you are getting cussed at just for liking us. Damn! O_O
FIMBLE EFFIN' STAR!
That was an awesome thing you did. That's the amazing and beautiful person that you are and I am just thankful that I had the chance to see it in person. Now what's this I hear about England? LHM IS GONNA DIE! ^_~
Mayo!!!
That's a sweet thing you did. I know you don't care who writes what, it's what they write that matters. Right? Too bad some don't understand that. Sucks to be them. They still don't get it.
Oh, and I'm Alicia? Not sure how I feel about that. Well, let's see...
She's very pretty and scary as hell at the same time. Oh! I like that! Okay, I'll be Alicia.
Bwah!
Have a great day errbody!
XOXO
morning porchies!!
happy jack white day!

frank
bigger frank?
it's even bigger in the actual pic, like super big!!
anyway have great days guys!
oh I just read it's your Jack White trip!
be safe and have a great time!!!
Hi katherine, smoke, mustard, sis M Jen
and mustard the brush drumsticks are just called brushes, as far as I know the way it's held like that it tends to sound a bit different,less bangy and more sort of skippy over the surface(those are very technical music terms, especially "bangy") it makes the sound softer overall, it possibly means his training was perhaps in jazz
hope to do my blog soon, it takes a while to sort through so many pics.
K did you see my waterlilly with the dragonfly? It's on my blog
There's this really weird feeling in the air this morning, and I haven't decided whether it's because my head is still in a fog, or if my world is kind of tipping a little too far on its axis. Something feels off.
Fim,
I just want you to know I'm thinking about you. It was really hard hearing you tell us what the circumstances were last night, because I've been in that exact same position. No one ever came out and said anything, but it hurt nonetheless. So, I just hope you find some sort of silver lining if you are bummed about it. And, just, thank you again.
Sdock and Smoke,
Have a blast today! You guys have to make Mr. Jack dedicate "If you're looking for an accomplice" to me, because, you know. It's too freakin' awesome. So, have fun and be safe and RAWK ON!
Have a great Wednesday everybody! Later, guys! Later, Mayo! Later, SS!
Whoop! Whoop! Folks, it is finally Jack White Wednesday!!! How fucking excited am I? Pretty damn!
It's October 1st! Know what that means? FF2008 is right around the corner and so is my birthday and Halloween and candy!
I just walked out on my front porch to talk to Fimble on the phone. (Yay for living in the boonies! I have to walk outside my house to get a signal!) And did you guys know that it is a
bee-ay-u-tee-full fall day out? It felt so good out there. I feel like one of those white-tailed deer bouncing in the woods, just positively giddy and unable to stand it!
WTF? Am I on crack? Nope, but today feels like one of those high on life days.
And every single time that I look at our pic from Mickkaahh Mouse land, I smile and feel nostalgic. I want to go back and squeeze you guys all over again. Thanks for making memories with me. Fimmy and Jules, I love you both!
Oh and speaking of Fimmy, thanks to Mayo for putting up her story. She truly is as wonderful as she sounds. Any time that I talk to her or that I'm around her, she makes my heart feel like it will explode with love and laughter. So Mayo titled it perfectly, "Heart Full." She can light up a room not only with her fabulous eyes, but with her amazing spirit, her love, and her kindness. I know she's going through something rough right now and I wish her all the best because she deserves it.
Mustard, I will definitely "holla" out to Jack for you! Smoke and I will be thinking of you the whole show through.
What else did I want to say?
Hmmm...guess that's it for now. If I think of anything else, I will be backkkkkk!
Love Ya'll!
Oh and just because I ain't done it in so, so long...too long in fact.
Solly + PPU = 4evah & 4always
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Missing you!
I was thinking last night, before I finally zonked out, about what we had said on AIM. That if everyone could do just a little thing like Fim did each day or maybe each week, the world we all live in would not be so shitterific, and everyone could wear a smile.
But, I think what I thought about most is that there are still kind, good, generous people in this world, and just by knowing that, it's enough to make any day good.
So, most definitely thank you to Fim for that and for making me realize again.
And to Mayo for realizing and helping everyone else to realize it, too.
AND A WHOOPTY FUCKING YAY FOR IT BEING OCTOBER!
What?
I just realized.
Obama is a master debater.
Dude,
I didn't watch the debate. I fail at being an American.
Mustard,
Troofax, right there. I guess it's just easier to turn away from the world's shittiness or wallow in it, or embrace it than it is to fight back.
I'm all up for grabbing a shovel and moving some of it around, but most days I can't decide if I want to knock someone over the head with it or start digging a deep, deep hole.
Fimmy is heartful and mindful and soulful. :D
SOlly don't worry, apparently I fail at being American too.
Sorry this is so short, guys, I have to meet my "worm connection" in a bit and I'm rushed this morning.
But ♥!
Attention
Hey!
Now that you have my attention,
What are you gonna do?
You might have good intention
But they're not coming through
You're very pleased with yourself I see,
It's like a walk in the park
You weren't lying by anyone else, cause
You can see in the dark
Got a lock,
Got a key
Got some kind of vice-like grip on me
On a leash, by the reigns
Got a look that puts me in chains
I tried a subtle suggestion
A more direct approach
A can't make your connection
You're beyond reproach
No need for petty excuses
No need for dumbing around
I don't know what the use is
But what you knowing down, yeah
Got a lock,
Got a key
Got some kind of vice-like grip on me
On a leash, by the reigns
Got a look that puts me in chains
Do you like the reflection?
Do you love the reflection?
Do you like what you see?
Do you love the reflection?
Do you like what you see?
Do you like what you see?
Do you like the reflection?
Do you love the reflection?
Do you like what you see?
Do you like the attention?
Do you like the attention you get from me?
Ohhh...
Hey! Yeah! Hey! Oh!
Now that you have my attention...
Got some kind of vice-like grip on me
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey...
Got a lock,
Got a key
Fimble: I saw your story at Mayos. Doesn't it make you feel good when you do something really nice for another human? Something nobody forced you to do, but from your heart.
Yeah, I thought so.
It gives you the warm fuzzies.
Good job on being a decent human being. I'm glad Mayo recognized your story. Maybe we can all be reminded to think of others and do something nice for someone else for a change.
Hi guyz! ^_^
I missed the pic of Smoke & Solly & Jules & Fimmy. :( Can somebody email it to meeeee?
I haven't caught up at Mayo's yet, yesterday was a zoo around here. But even without knowing what Fimmy said, I know it was made of awesome. "cuz she's, you know, awesome. :)
Smoke & Solly, have fun! Give ol' Jack a lick for me! (bwahaha! I woke up with Jack-hair this morning, and almost didn't want to wash it!)
♥♥♥
Trikki Nikki!
Our piccie is up on the main page. Can you seez it?

The Fix
There has been a lot of talk over at Mayo's about how to "fix things".
Well, I've got a few ideas, and I can guarantee that very few people are going to like them.
You want to fix things at Mayonaise's? Why not give the stage to someone else once in awhile? Constant self-centered posts, be they about what you're doing every exact second of every day, or posts as "Random Televison Character" really monopolize the conversation. Is that fair to anyone? Nope.
What's that? Scroll past it? You know, that would be a genius idea, if it didn't make up 75% of the blog replies. Ignore, ignore all you want, but it is still there. It's still used to derail current topics of conversation. It's used to force people to stop talking, and it's used for attention. It's beyond pathetic.
It used to be different, when everyone was involved. Now, nobody is involved and it feels to me like it's on purpose.
Next? Well, there's the rampant suggestion that "people suck" when they don't consistently stand up for everyone on the blog at any given time.
I'm sure I've said this before. You are damned if you do, and you are damned if you don't.
However, I'm going to hell in a 24k handbasket, because I refuse to stand for anyone who is comfortable to spend the day, night, mid-afternoon, whatever, belitting, undermining, harassing, or even outright insulting people who I consider to be friends.
Who gives anyone else the right to do those things? Nobody.
They are done, and done again. And over and over. I have seen the posts. The veiled comments behind my back. I've even seen the assumption that I am every nasty Anon that has ever visited Mayonaise's blog.
I haven't replied to this prior, but I will now.
I have a job. I do not have internet access at my job. I do not check this blog until I am at home and on my own time. I pull a regular paycheck every two weeks. I have a life.
Can you put 2 and 2 together?
The comments are duly noted. Especially the ones that call for the shutdown of Mayo's blog, when nothing has happened, except for a few friends having a good time. Oh yes, I've seen those too. Please, don't kid yourself. Going to read porn, and openly discussing sex and sexual behaviour are no different.
Oh, but here I am, in blatant disagreement with a lot of things. A lot of people. Oh well. I suppose I can't be blacklisted any more than I already am, can I?
I have also noticed something. This is quite troubling to me, mostly because I know that it doesn't bother me what Anonymous Vultures say, but it has, and clearly does bother others.
Why does it seem to me that if you disagree with the so-called "popular opinion", you can pretty much count down the seconds until there are Vultures nipping at your heels, and pointing fingers at you?
Are we ALL so always in the wrong? No. I frequently see many polite discussions with polite disagreements, and the day goes on. The world spins, the dove sings, and the moon rises and sets.
If you can't have a POLITE discussion about anything, without resorting to name-calling, derogatory talk, or even threats, you do not even have a right to open your mouth.
"Real adults - mature ones - realize that different people have different tastes. Really realize it, as in: they don't just say they do, they mean it and take it to heart. As opposed to trying to FORCE their tastes on anyone within earshot. Particularly when said "anyone" has expressed profound dislike of said thing-that-is-within-said-adult's-tastes. Real grownups don't feel the need to be a conversational dictator."
(Clearly exempt from this are Anons that come in with the claws and teeth at someone's throat for no decent reason.)
Here's something else to ponder. Why would you discuss things, or even provide information that you can be used to harass you and possibly make your life unhappy?
This is the internet, darlings. Regardless of who you are, you should never provide information, or allow access to information that anyone can use to identify you offline. Ever. Period. You put yourself and everyone around you at serious risk when you do that.
Why make yourself a target? Why make anyone else an unwilling target?
I have felt for a very long time now that there has been a movement to push people away from Mayo's. It is painful to read and even more painful to say. I do not form this theory lightly, and I wouldn't say it unless I truly felt that it was affecting everything that we all used to enjoy so much.
The blog has been centered more and more on certain people. Whether it is they themselves who are being villainized or celebrated, I have become increasingly aware that the rotation is squarely around them. No longer is this blog about camaraderie, it's not about Family, or even is it about Mayo and his Lovelies.
There is no inclusion. There is no friendliness. There is no love, and no "home".
My mother said to me once "If you're being picked on for something, pay attention to what is being said. If it's the same thing over and over again, maybe it's something you should think about changing."
People will not conform to your expectations. They will not conform to your will. They will not take up your ideals, your thoughts, or your mentality. They especially will not tolerate attitude from anyone who attempts to lord over them.
If you seem to be the problem, look at them, and ask yourself what you plan to do. If the answer is "Nothing", then do not be surprised when the circle around you gets wider, and wider.
For those of you that complain about the divide in the House of Mayo, here's some of your reasons why. If anything can bring it back to what it was, I feel that fixing these problems would be a start.
They are not minor.
They are not going to be easy.
I think they can be worth it.
Do you?
-Amyranth.
Think about it darlings. ALL of it.
masterdebater
Yeah, umm, well, we're off to see the "Master of the Universe" aka Jack White.
Catch you guys later!
later taterheads!
Safe trip, and have a great time you guys! Get some tintypes! :D
Oh, and one more thing. ^_^
THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!
Bwaha! ^_^
Guys, I put another of our pictures at my blog. ^_^ It's my favorite one.
But Princess and Solly, by the time you come back you will be all Jacked up! O_o
Since when did this become a porn blog? Those are some hot chicks in that picture.
Pshaw. ^_^
Hi PPU, how are you? What ya doing?
Wheeee, piccies!!!
Damn, I have good-looking friends. ^_^
Thanks, you guyz - I love them!!!
(Popping in & out this afternoon, but better to be here sometimes than not at all!)
sisters.......hope you have the meffing best time guys!!
miss T if you pop in, i forgot to say earlier, but i was thinking of Laura and you at 11am.
hope your course is going ok?
can't stop guys, Mayo's is a cesspool from hell!!
from hell i tell you!!
(vague reference from some comedy sketch)
laters puppy dogs!!
Less and less am I able to wade through the mire there. I'm tired of everything being my fault, our fault. I'm tired of us getting called out for playing silly, harmless games, for doing things that others do ten times more.
And I hate what Mayo's place has become. It's a journal, that's all. It's his journal and I feel really bad that the comments are such a mess. That's all they are: comments on a journal. I don't think they will stop. That stuff isn't posted there for us to see: It's posted for him to see, because in the minds of some folks, getting some anonymous blogger to dislike the same person you dislike is the be-all and end-all.
I can't even imagine being so invested in something that "games" and poetry and mindless banter have "ruined" it.
And right now I just can't do more than scroll, and judging from what I'm seeing, I can't even imagine taking part in it. I doubt it will change. Our silly "games" have been gone for days. We have been gone for days. It doesn't look any better.
Ah well. What can ya do?

that's hit the nail on the head K.
which is why they don't come here.
it's kinda pathetic...
but also really sad. i've been backreading recently and man it's been fun!
take care K i've gotta go!
Bye FASC. :D Have a good rest of the day.
Oh man, this is far, far past the point of hilarious. This is encroaching on Depends territory!
Anyhoot, my day kind of didn't go all wonky like I thought it might. Now it's just kind of stuck-like!
And because tonight is Jack White Night, by golly, all that will be playing is Raconteurs and White Stripes.
And it's 30 days until HALLOWEEN, and that's enough to make anyone psyched, yhus?! Yhus!
Yhus for sure! ^_^
I dunno Pash, I would find it hilarious except that it's happening on someone's blog, their diary, you know? If someone took your journal and scribbled all over it?
And then, OMG, the idea that games we've been playing from the start is the reason for all of this.
HALLOWEEEEEEN!
I don't know why my house isn't even decorated yet. The yard kind of is. I put up a spooky cemetery. I should put a picture up!
I'm cooking stir fry veggies and I'm skipping Kung Fu because I pulled the muscles in both of my thighs really badly. I couldn't hardly sit on the toilet this morning. O_O
How are you and what ya doing?
Jules @ 4:18 --
My thoughts exactly. I don't have anything else to add.
First of all, it'a bundle of sadness that it ever came to this. It doesn't take much to figure out that it won't ever go back to the way it was no matter what gets done.
Secondly, I feel really bad for Mayo, like you said, because he's a hell of a lot more tolerant that I'd ever be at my own blog. And to have it become the joke that it is? It's whatever. It's a major bum out.
The whole "plan" was to get us out. To get us out of Mayo's, to get us off the blog. That in and of itself is too backwards for me to understand, but that was the "plan."
You guys have been staying away. I left, because it's a pointless endeavor and entirely not worth my time. And still, after over a week of being away, over a week of cooperating with said "plan," shit still sucks, and that's what's so funny.
Didn't work out too well.
Oh man, too slow on my part. I submitted that comment before seeing what you wrote at 4:18. My bad.

Oh no! You should try a warm bath or something? It might help you out.
I'm trying to get rid of a headache unfortunately. I've done really well with not having them for the past few weeks, then BAM! All of a sudden I get one. So, I'm debating on whether to nap it off or not.
Ahhh, gotcha.
But I mean, there would be an element of total ironic and absurd humor to it if it wasn't so crazy,and if it wasn't on someone's blog. You know?
It's the lack of logic that gets me. Always has.
Totally get you.
I don't understand it myself.
Ah well. It's a shame though.
Pash, what ya doin' today? CHilling?
Hi Errbody! *waves*
I'm in and out cos Desperate Housewives is on!
*waves to SuperDave*
Yeah, I'm just relaxing, looking up some news, and about to fix myself some dinner I think. My stomach is talking. O_O
You use iTunes, right? You just bought some stuff off of there?
Check this out.
This is bad, bad news. It's no question that the industry has done an about-face, leaving tangible records in the dust and opting for a digital route, right? iTunes services 85% of the digital market, something the industry has been depending on for the past few years.
So, Friday, the royalty board will be deciding a new mechanical royalty rate. It's set at 9.1 cents per song right now, and news will be out on Friday as to what the new rate will be.
This is really scary.
Hi guys, just popping in for a quickie.
I miss you all loads.
That's a great pic at the top of the page. You are all a bunch of cuties.
I hope that Jack White Weds is all you want it to be. Have fun.
Thanks to everyone who took time to think about Laura today. I'm very grateful.
I finished the course. It was so much fun. I will tell all about it when I get home.
Can't wait to chat properly.
See you soon, miss you all.
Nighty night xxxxxxxx
*waves to Lucy*
MissT! I'm so glad you had a great time! I can't wait to hear all about it. :)
Lucy Bean and MissT!
how you holding up there, MissT? Doing all right?
Pash, that is really ridiculous. O_o
Hiya Mustard, bean and K.
How the hell are you guys?
I'm good. The course was such good fun. I'm so tired though. 9 hour days on not much sleep is not good.
Gonna have some fun now till the end if the week. I am in tourist mode now.
Too fun, MissT! Enjoy yourself!
I'll be back later, guys!
Good for you, MissT. :D Later, Pash!
Me too, I am going in for a shizzower. Later taters! :)
Oh, I just got email from the sisters. They are at the venue, waiting. Whoop whoop! ^_^
Bye you guys. I'll prob be gone when you get back.
Have a great evening.
Tell the sisters I say hi and I hope they have a great time.
