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

Aw, t'is pretty ^_^
Thanks, RW. I think I am mildly obsessed with the sun.
How are you today? How did you spend your Saturday?
Oops! Did I miss you, Solly?
Nope, I'm here. I wanted to see if you'd come back and holla back at me.
HI! ^_^
*hollers at Solly*
I mostly spend my Saturday loungin', eatin', soakin', and daydreamin'.
How about you?
Um, let's see, got up, went to town, played Guitar Hero.
That's about it.
What ya daydreamin' about? Was I in it? How come you ain't got your parcel yet?
You still ain't got it? What? O_O
No parcel yet :/ Maybe Monday.
Have you been to the MCR web site lately? Bob is the online version of what Frank is in person.
Hahaha! He is!
Can't recall what I was daydreamin'. My mind wanders all over the place. Hard to tell the real dreams from the waking dreams sometimes.
Hullo, S&V :)
I ♥ Bob and Frank.
Awwh, that's too sweet, ain't it?
Smoke,
I think I am gonna need a remote to hook up this Gamecube. Grrr...I can't find the input button!
What were you guys up to today? Did you brave the malls? I'm still too afraid too *shudder*
I ♥ my Mama's mini cheesecakes with blueberry toppins!
Smoke, how did you like your photos?
Bwahmuaahhwhwahahah!
We don't have a mall, just a Wal-Mart. And it wasn't too bad, surprisingly enough.
Bob is a mess. He's a bad boy! I'll never believe a word he says. ^_^
Well, off to watch some tv! Sweet dreams! ♥
Solly, I think your widget is faulty. It's four days + til the New Year, not three.
RW,
You know, I kept lookin at that thing and I was wonderin if it was right!! Bwhaha, that's funny.
Smoke,
Night night!
Have a good evening, S&V! :)
I already sent Bob a warning message on Twitter. Told him Santa doesn't bring presents for naughty boys wot tell fibs. But he has redeemed himself somewhat with his animal shelter plea.
I haven't gone anywhere near the Wal-Mart here, Solly. I would like to pick up a water filter and an ironing board, but they can wait.
Okay, I deleted that countdown thing. Boy that would have been confusing. We would have been celebrating with the Aussies.
There's a kitty yowling outside my door. A kitty, I say!
I wonder why the countdown thingie was wrong. Perhaps it was set to another time zone.
I already sent Bob a warning message on Twitter. Told him Santa doesn't bring presents for naughty boys wot tell fibs.
^He totally ignored that, by the way. And I bet he got gifts anyway. Not fair, if you arsk me.
How do you know he ignored? It might have struck him right in his little bitty conscience.
Awwh, let the kitty inside and name him Crybaby!
I've already let him in twice, Solly. He has to leave eventually, he's not my kitty!
It might have struck him right in his little bitty conscience.
In his little ole Grinch heart? Heheheh.
I wonder if he gets his doggie to pull his SUV.
Crybaby wants to be your kitty! That's what he is trying to tell you!
Now he is scratchin' at my door. Kitty just doesn't give up!
His person just came downstairs to do some laundry. Hopefully he'll follow her back up.
No, he is gonna run and hide from them until you let him back in.
Check my widget now and tell me if that is more like it!
RW,
I think I am gonna head off to bed now.
Sweet dreams!
Have a lovely evening, Solly! ^_^
Check my widget now and tell me if that is more like it!
Yep, looks good!
I miss you guise! *wails*
Amaaaaazing pics by the way Solly! :D
'Morning Lucy! Good to see you! Hope your Christmas day went well. =)
Hi People of the Porch!
Hope you all had a fabulous day with family and friends.
Lovely to see Sis M.
Sad to not see Mustard.
Princess, so sorry to hear LHM came down so bad. That's the bugger with kiddies and temperatures. They always have to reach that awful state of limpness and burning heat, before they fully go for good. It's bloody hard to watch them go through it.
Glad to see that most of you are improving from your respective illnesses. =)
And as I missed Christmas by a country mile this year...
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
in advance. ;)
xoxo
PP! *hugs* Lovely to see you on the Pork! :D
Smok I just realised it was you that took da pics! Obviously I haven't woken up properly yet.
PP and Lucy Bean!
Seeing you guys made me squeal with absolute delight!
OMG Solly! Is that really you? It's been soooo long! When are we meffers gonna get in a room with complete strangers again?
I dunno, but it has to be some time real soon!
Solly, that's beautiful!
And thank you so much for your message on my blog. ^_^ *waves to LHM* :D
I miss you guys and I truly hope that we get a chance to get together again sometime. :)
RW, I lost my respect for Bob when he posted his "art" and then told people to "lighten up" when the word offended them. :/
Ah, are you referring to the "C" word at the MCR web site? I wondered about that. Didn't know it was courtesy of Bob.
I just Tweeted all the members of MCR about that "art". Not that I expect a response, but I would like to know if they intend to post the "N" word next.
Yup, that was Bob. And when people were like, "Ummm, that's an ugly word" he told them to STFU and lighten up.
And I only just read about this "dick move" on his part, according to the Nine Inch Nails hotline.
Yeah, so totally not a Bob fan. :/
Yup, that was Bob. And when people were like, "Ummm, that's an ugly word" he told them to STFU and lighten up.
I didn't see any fall out. Where were people calling him out on it, on Twitter?
Well, as they said over at NIN, at least an animal shelter is going to benefit regardless of who wins that contest. But there's no excusing "cunt".
I take it they're officially no longer respecting women.
There was a minor fallout, yeah. I don't go to the site but people were quoting it on Verita's.
Yeah, I know that a shelter is still going to get money, but that was a crappy thing to do. Someone gives you this idea and says, "Hey, can you help me out with this charity? You can rally that amount of votes after all" and instead of helping out, the guy takes your idea and uses it for his own thing without even a word to you.
That's not a "nice person" thing to do.
That's not a "nice person" thing to do.
Agreed. But I can forgive that quicken than I can forgive "cunt".
Beautiful pictures, SDock!
Hi Mya! They are, aren't they?
Yeah, I'm with you on that, RW. I mean, if I was the friend who had said, "Hey Bob, can you help me out with my charity?" and then he had gone and stolen all MY votes, I would be pretty hurt.
But as an outsider, yeah, c--- is pretty nasty. And it's not as if he had it in some kind of meaningful context either. He just took a picture of it and called it "art."
How can these people be so confused about "art?"
There was a minor fallout, yeah. I don't go to the site but people were quoting it on Verita's.
You know, the worst part of this is that there are thousands of teenage girls who are going to think it's okay because their heroes say so.
It's bad enough having to wade through the verbal diarrhea spouted by bands who have never claimed to respect women. But it's particularly insidious coming from a band who used to base their moral platform on it.
Exactly. Precisely. And many other words of the same meaning. :)
BTW, I'm particularly impressed that Kanye West and Common have said they're going to stop using slurs in their music. West said he had an epiphany when his cousin came out of the closet and he realized how bigoted he sounded. I have never paid too much attention to him, but that kind of inspired me to look further into this.
But as an outsider, yeah, c--- is pretty nasty. And it's not as if he had it in some kind of meaningful context either. He just took a picture of it and called it "art."
It's one thing to display it in the privacy of his home (I guess it doesn't concern him that it might be seen by, say, his mother or grandmother or girlfriend), but quite another to publicly post it on a web site that's scrolled through daily by thousands of teenage girls. What was he thinking?
Ooops! Hi, Mya! :) Almost missed you there! :S
West said he had an epiphany when his cousin came out of the closet and he realized how bigoted he sounded.
Good for him. Time for other bands to wake up and smell the shit also.
If MSI can pass for music, then I guess "cunt" can pass for art, sort of thing.
The more I think about it, the more surprised I am that the MCR web site operators or whatever they're called actually allowed that pic to get posted.
We're spamming your blog, Solly. Sorry :/
What was he thinking?
Probably something along the lines of, "HUR HUR DEHURR! I AM SO KEWLIEZ ALL THE KIDS SAY SO!!111"
O_o
K, whereabouts at VV's are the "art" fallout comments? I was just there, but there are too many other comments to wade through, I couldn't find them.
BooYow!
I'm baaaaack!
Why did the fake pics of the rock climbing and stuff get removed?
Spree candy canes are da shit!
RW, I couldn't begin to tell you. O_o I don't remember the date and I certainly don't remember the exact page.
My iTunes is being a huge beeotch. >_<
Sorry, got distracted at VV's. Some of the comments there are hilarious! Cheered me up no end.
Why did the fake pics of the rock climbing and stuff get removed?
Did they? And yet "cunt" is still up. Priorities :/
Yeah, I think so, RW.
I love it at VV's, RW. The people there just tell it. ^_^
I want to go see The Killers, damnit!
I need a concert fix!
And I still don't have an Ipod! Can you believe that?
But I will show you guys a pic of the coolest Christmas pressie ever!
The one of "Gerard" snorkling is still up.
Oooo! Whatdja get, Solly?
My Mama gave me and Smoke these bracelets. They were made out of silver spoons from my Great Grandmother's silver. How cool is that?
Bracelets
Oooo! Those is cool & shiny, Solly! ^_^
I thought it was a really, neat and very thoughtful gift.
They're lovely :)
Do we really gotta go to work tomorrow?
Yes :( Sad, but true. I can't believe the Christmas holidays are over already.
How many days do you get off at New Years?
Just New Year's Day, but I'm taking off Friday for LHM's birthday. We're gonna take him shopping and out to eat and stuff.
How bout you?
Solly, those are beautiful! Unique and thoughtful.
Lovely ^_^
I'm not sure what day(s) we have off this week. As New Years Day falls on a Thursday this year, we were hoping that we'd get the Friday off too. But we've got two operas opening in a couple of weeks & lots of alterations to do, so i don't ecpect we'll get more than the one day. Some of us were hoping for the option of switching the Thursday off for the Friday, so that we could have a long weekend. But I'm not sure if we're going to be able to do that.
MEFFERS! What a lovely idea for a bracelet, they are so prettiful!
Jules, thanks, Smoke and I thought they rocked!
RW,
Tell them that I said you should totally get off Friday and that should work.
Lucy Bean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SOLLY!!!!!!!!!!!!

I popped in to see if anyone was around but House is about to start, but I'll be back later! I have missed you all so much. I hope you all had a fab Crimbo.

When I was driving home I looked up at the dusk sky and it was so beautiful. It was different shades of lilac and lavander and the new moon looked like it was made of silver. It was so pretty, I wished I could have taken a pic but there was nowhere to pull over. I thought of you all cos I wanted you to see it too.

Soly and S&V, I gots your parcel today!! Thank you!!!
I shall wear the socks and be warm thinking of Georgie ^_^ And I have put the David Costa flyer up on my fridge under my Canadian Opera Company magnet. I thought it was appropriate.
Yayyyyy!!! That's the most important football team in the state of Georgia!!!! (Who cares about NFL anyway? College football is more fun!) Just about every damn vehicle in the state has that big 'G' on it! Hee-hee!
Go Dawgs!!!! Whoof! Whoof!
^_^
Oh whoops! That was me! I'm on Solly's computer! Hee-hee!
I thought it was a sports team, but I didn't know which one.
I am not up on sports teams O_o Either way though, they will keep my toesies toasty warm!
The socks, I mean, not the sports team.
S&V, you iz sneaky!
They had pink ones too but we thought the red and black suited you. ^_^
Yay!
I love them! Thanks! :)
I'm glad! I can't believe she kept up with that flyer. I would have lost it like the next day if I had kept it. O_O
Damn. Still me! Grrrr.
The flyer is in mint condition too!
You and Solly iz both made of win, S&V ^_^
RW,
I'm so glad that you got your package! I was beginning to wonder if it had gotten lost in the mail.
Damn, I'm tired. LHM just spent the last 2 hours beating up on me.
Is that you, Solly? Or is it S&V being tricksy again?
It's me, RW. All me!!
You know how Smoke gots her name, right? It's cause she smokes that funky stuffs and it makes her do crazy things like publish a comment as her sister.
OMG, my body aches. I am gonna go take a bath and soak a little.
Have a good soak, Solly :) Bathe away your Monday aches!
*tucks porch in*
Night night :)
*snuggles under da covers*
Rise and shine!
Happy Tuesday!
Morning :)
Happy Toozdae!
Hi guys, how are you?
I'm still coughing away but at least I can breathe now.
I just wanted to pop in to say
Happy New Year everyone!!!!!
I hope it's a great year for everyone.
xxxxxxx
PS I miss Moostard and PPU!
Just a quick in and out from me! FASC I hope you have a fab New Years. Did you see the Royle Family Christmas special? OMG I swear I peed a little bit when they were trying to defrost the turkey! First a bubble bath and then under the sunbed and the airing cupboard! The best bits were when Denise offered to put a turkey leg in the toaster and when she said she was serving soup for starters and said it was cup-a-soup with a twist, the twist being that it was going to be served in a bowl not a cup! Oh and don't even get me started about the oxo gravy recipe or when she made the punch more tropical by adding fruit and there's this whole banana floating in the mixture of blue nun, blue curacao and the blue vodka wkd. Bwahahaha!
Yay! Only eleven hours until I'm home free for another four days! Whoooohoooooo!
Happy New Year's Eve! ^_^
Only 4.5 hours til '09!
O_O
Happy New Year!
3 HOURS AND 44 MINUTES!
3 hours 24 mins!
Happy New Year, Mya!
HAPPY NEW YEAR PORCH! I ♥ you guys!
Hey guys! sorry, I'm just skimming real quick and haven't read much but I wanted to say happy new years and wish you all the best in '09. ^_^ You guys are the bomb and it's such a pleasure to get to talk to you all.
I'm way behind on answering emails and I'm sorry for that; I haven't been online too much.
But I know that I don't owe you guys any excuses and you guys won't try to make me feel bad. ;D It's not a purposeful oversight.
I love you guys and I hope you had a great night, and will have a great '09! ^___^
Happy New Year's, everyone!!
xoxo
Happy 2009 meffers! WHOOP WHOOP! Hope it's your best year EVAH!
*hugs the Pork*
Dudes!
Happy New Year!
Love Ya'll!
