i'm glad a few said happy

Lou, Ning, and Atticus.

happy.

Tony B-

Moby Dick 3x?

latest ofc news indicate a round of new pcs

i told one of my ofcmates that i wont believe it

TIL i see it

the last storm (Sept 28) was very devastating

our church still has no main power

it is currently running on generators

and it's around the corner from home...

power at our house was lost for 40+ hours

it was hot that i was transferring from bed

to rocking chair and vice-versa

and no regular phones

and i was glad for the first time i had 2 cellphones

from different providers...

the things we take for granted...

and there's something mesmerizing reading/journaling

by single candlelight....

in the flickering flashes of illumination

is the flittering images of yesterday...

kyou kara maou

the last sketch reminds me of Hube - Nikola's lover. anyways.

A pre-existing anime character.

as for Jean, I thought she was on my right....

yes?

i dont think so. i'm writing several fics (fanfiction, *blush, blush*)

so i'm fresh out of prompts..

btw, they call it prompts.... to write a story.

thanks Charlie for answering. i never thought of it

as a unique perspective of any kind....

surely this has nothing to do with reading Ayn Rand.

i remember reading a lot of her books

but it hasnt turned me into a facsimile of your cousin.

and it cant be the eco degree.

my two friends, one with a phD in eco

have largely remained the slightly weird persons

they have always been

although it isnt anything similar

your discussion at this point reminds me

of a banker (Credit Swisse) and an economist

one night, in a get-together.

i found myself tuning out the rest of the conversations

around us and focussing on theirs.

i digress... back to your cousin, Christian.

Christian.

sorry to hear about the car.

you must have been posting at the same time i was

that happened to my friend and i

when we were visiting another friend

and i had tons of stuff in a bag

they all disappeared of course.

and Ning isnt into that, so dont even joke about needles.

Jas - you sound much happier. i'm glad for you.

btw, it's October already.

and i have to plan the Halloween thing

i feel too lazy to plan a costume ....

so maybe i'll just be a fairy creature again

ha. I have to just look for my wand

and i have to plan another house party for the 10th.

house anniversary. it's a Tuesday

I am so tempted to just order food

because i have work and wont have time to cook

unless i just throw together some Italian stuff... that's easy...

... to do. you know, like some pasta variation ..hmm

or some Chinese...

i know, i'll toss a coin.

what was the unique angle?

I hope you have a better subject than describing oneself.

I really flubbed that one - for the reasons i've stated.

Jas -

good luck at your bachelor's pad in the city.

is it near everything.... including otters?

i was just going to say the goblin isnt really gone

he visits, every once in a while...

like me

i just visit more often than him...

i still find making the reader uncomfy uncomfy

but maybe this will do... maybe.

or perhaps i dont know what makes the reader uncomfy

********

Death comes when he must.

Their mother had been moved to the ICU of the hospital and although the children did not altogether approve, but they had no choice. Their mother was in pain, and was seeing images of their dead relatives, calling out the names. The children rotated being in the hospital.

Someone must be ready to sign papers at all times, and woe to the child who had to decide life and death issues alone.

It was nerve wracking to watch your mother in pain, and you to stand, helpless, like an idiot. Unable to absorb any of her pain, unable even to tell her how much you loved her, and how your world will fall apart when she leaves. You know you want her to stop suffering.

You know you want her to be with you. So what do you do?

What do you and your siblings do? You argue, and finally, amidst the exacerbating pain of endless needles and endless chemicals fed in her body, that it must be time to stop. To let go. To let her go.

So you say enough with the attempts, and you break down.

Tears fall unending. You see them clean her body.

It isnt really her, but your mind refuses to accept that.

It must be her. That cold body is her. Even if it is not her, it is.

You find yourself moving. but no longer thinking.

just moving. soon the movements will mean something.

for the meantime, you cannot be still.

You must not be still.

To be still is to think.

To think is to be mad.

josh -

you have a way with words ....

I had a really good walk tonight, and during it a checked out my local bar, went to a place and engaged in sin, walked down streets and saw interesting stores and neighborhoods I wasn't familiar with, and took care of a business errand. And surprisingly, all of that in just under 2 hours!

all under 2 hours. Wow. You work fast.

hmmm. i hope your new chair gives you much luck too, dogpoet.

good for you. i used to read all pairings

until i got stomped on. it turned me off for all the rest of the stories

so i decided to keep a low profile in the major comm,

and stayed in the smaller comm, which had more reasonable members

i dont think i have the necessary breath necessary for keeping quiet

when the 10-14 crowd start chatting....

as i told someone, i'd rather not help entropy.

and it is nice to join contests of sorts.

No more?

In one thread, Christian said Charlie would be posting new homework

but there's no new homework?

Jas - good luck with your new place

may you have many good times

Tony B - happy birthday to your daughter.

will look for the pics. let me know when you post them!

dogpoet - was this the chair you did most of writing on....?

It could have been worse. What if you'd started humming Isaac Hayes' Chocolate Salty Balls?

 

But that's great!!

 

You dont know the stuff I read about the Anime I watch, Jays

which is, i suppose, a good thing ....

 

If it's anything like the fanfiction I read, I can pretty much take a guess at what it's like.

 

Now, guilty pleasures.

....

I also like the idea of man-on-man action, but I'm usually pretty vocal about that.

 

Edit: About the fanfiction, nowadays I read much less of it, since I discovered something called doujinshi...

Ah yes, those are among the things i discovered,

along with very nice scanlations, and other terms such as seme/uke.

but i only read about one pairing in particular -

hmmm. but it hasnt stopped me from reading fanfics

 

Yeah, I remember discovering about those terms too... Incidentally, I like my pairings without a well defined seme/uke. I also read several pairings; the last good doujinshi I recall was with a pairing (L/Raito) from the manga Death Note. Really great manga too, by the way... I only got to know that title thanks to scanlations.

What is your paring of choice, if I may ask?

well .. there need not be a well defined seme/uke.

and, on anime - since that's where i found these terms - its mainly just kkm

ConradxYuuri. although there are several pairings there.

Most of the fandom go for WolframxYuuri.

And there have been wars.

I once made the mistake of saying something

like the treatment of Conrad's death was rather crude.

I almost got stomped on. :huh:

of all the threads in this forum, this one is the nicest

particularly if one is gone for days, and a look here

updates me on how you guys are.

as for me, more of the same.

writing more though, just not here

it seems fair to return the favor, in return for the stuff i read

to offer something. usually something requested.

But I'm glad it will soon be October.

And yep. I brought my handy cd player to work

and my ofc mates decided to play Christmas songs

Josh, you sound very acquainted with pain.

From someone who is, also.... I can only say it is the pits, indeed.

very much the pits. but to dwell on it, is to forget the joy

there is. dont forget the joys.

*Friday morning my part of the world

So it'll be the weekend soon

So everyone - enjoy your weekend...

And you know Josh, I'm going to have some tests on Monday

to determine the things that keep me awake at night

it's 9:20 my time, thereabouts - and I havent any significant sleep

well, 15 minutes at my desk when i arrived, but that's about it.

No use going to bed either... Bed doesnt help

may not some problem with the nerves on my legs....

in the meantime i have some sleeping pills...

which i didnt take last night - I figured I could always make up during the weekend

as it is - around the corner.

But I certainly envy those who can go to bed and sleep within seconds....

*waves* i enjoy visiting.

yes, Josh.

sometimes, we mean something entirely different

from how another person understands it

which is why, supposedly, we are supposed to find out

before we fly off the handle

though sometimes we just cant help it....

did you want to lose weight, Josh?

if so, then congratulations!

***************

Fredi - HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

They say that rain on one's natal day means something good

Enjoy your birthday, and never mind if it rains ...

staying in can be fun, after all.

i missed seeing two of your art pieces.

the kohi having a good time, both scares and delights me

he looks like he's had a good meal, and something more

and he's perfectly delighted with the situation

the John Con one reminds me of an earlier piece you've done

i dont know if you reworked the idea to a new sketch

or simply finished it... although i am inclined towards the first

nice shading....

you should have a deviantart account, for all your art

just a suggestion, if you havent any....

er, Jas.

I wasnt following this ...

but what you wrote is almost, descriptive of this murder scene

... I was trying to remember where ... I have seen so many

could be CSI or this detective channel I sometimes waste time on...

but... anyway, thought I'd tell you

this i cant do. i got to feeling "gnashy" in some of the pieces.

as for the slash. This is very tame slash.

I've read more explicit ones but I guess it was for a separate audience.

Some yaoi, for example.

and i think feedbacks should be in the pms.

like submitting your work to your teacher,

the teacher gives it back to you - not posts it up

well, at least in my school it was,

unless your work was some shining example to be followed.

This was meant to be encouraging writers, yes?

So if a piece of work was written off as crappy or ... whatever

and it is on post for everyone to see ---

then it might have the opposite effect...

Praise is for public, but "scoldings" should be in private.

My two cents, as Jas puts it.

I thought there was a new pic of Jas.

None, sadly.
