McDonalds has Ronald. Disney has Mickey.

Etc.

I feel like I'm just one of a few thousand icons for a money-making machine.

I used to feel like this was a community, but now, with this new format, I feel like I'm trapped in a giant SG commercial.

These are just my feelings. I certainly don't know the whole story, or what theeir their intentions might...

i feel, if your getting something out of it personally, then who cares about the format? blogs, logs, so what? i have some genuine connections here. i can still write what i do and post it. i can still tell you how i feel about this thing, for instance. everything changes. it is glossy. it has a certain polished look about it. there is a shitload of pink. all someone else's changes. but here we are...in all our glory. biggrin i also respect your thoughts. just my two cents.
disclaimer : i reserve the right to change my mind at any time. i might not feel this way tommorrow.
okay, having said all that...what the fuck is up with the "14 minutes left to edit" feature? that fucking sucks. oh wait...let me try to beat the clock to tell you what i really meant, or to clarify....?????

her disciples

Graded on the number of fish, calling
Them like bespectacled deer, scent
Wafts, seriously like brick
Wishes it could, it can't, stacked.

The presence of a woman makes
Things more pleasant. She calls
As she will, expansive, the
Broadest string vibrating in
Silent heart, blinding us

To noise, we who are evolving hooves
To find the shore, eyes gone bad
Now nearsighted in...

yeah- gastritis totally sucks! i've never had so much pain for such an extended period of time. i took it for awhile- but during night #2 i checked myself into the er because i couldnt anymore...and it was scary! but they gave me some meds to balance out my stomach acids, and all the tests are just to rule out other stuff and find ulcers if i have them. bleh- no surprise- all this runs in the family.

but hey- its fixable!

Hi C.,

I tried. I think I made the post more for myself; it's kind of meditative, like pondering a draw of tarot cards about myself. It's honest, as ever. Something's missing, though; it doesn't quite work the way I wanted it to. I think I just hate having them so vertical; I'd like to see them grouped more side-by-side; but that's not possible around here. Although the journals are broader now - I like that. But I don't like that there's the narrow version on the home page - seems a bit pointless.

Yeah, I'm liking the changes, generally. I hate the faintness of the lettering, the pastel-shades thing. And I hate the top five friends thing - I'm not picking favourites. So the random friend pictures is just distracting; I always liked simplicity on my page, which was one of the reasons I've often not had a top five SGs list.

I can't view sets unless I click on the 'pics' tab between 'girls' and 'videos'; if I go to a girl's page her set icon is not clickable confused

Time will tell. I'm worried that I don't feel as adaptable as I used to be biggrin But then I am a Taurus.

Later.

I.

You got the sexy thing yourself, but not at the risk of offending your gf, eh?

Yes, I ll probably email what happened during the hypnosis, I have never experienced that intense of a session before, and my hypnotherapist was also a Shaman, so cool!

Hi Billy-goat smile

Glad you had a good day of birth. I didn't do anything for mine; read a book; spent ten quid of my birthday money on compost for my friends garden (which I have yet to be reimbursed for) and took it round to them; sat about; thought some; tried to paint a bit; that's about it. Bleh. Typical Taurus in a way.

Things sound basically very sweet between you and Claire. But don't talk to me about women frown frown frown Seriously.

Painting. *sigh* What can I say? I'm trying. Remember me saying a while back that I was thinking "To hell with doing what I feel I should do! I'm doing what I want!" ? Well I've fallen back into the former state and having trouble getting out of it. Things are a bit grim. For the most part. I'm feeling quite flattened by the giant's foot of life.

How's yer maw?

I.

I thought Cruise looked like Tiny Tim in that movie.



"Wiki" him or whatever, if you've never heard of him. He was a strange dude.

So.

I almost drowned on my own puke this morning.


TMI?


I had a big meal last night, followed by a bunch of snacking.

One of those glorious nights of gluttony where it just felt good to stuff myself, like it was a motherfucking holiday, or something.

I went to bed really late, and about 9 AM, sound asleep, I was woken up by a...

This little excerpt from Wanderlust holds particular resonance for me:

Between no longer and not yet
On the threshold of some brighter thing



I hope you had a good weekend. kiss

i think each time i write dwn my feelings on paper or journal i feel better, it is like therapy to me...I have been feeling great though, otherwise, learning the symbols is renewing my strength. hey, I am truly an optimist, my Reiki Master wh did the attunement, she said it might be rough emotionally and physically for 21 days...what do you reccomend? smile wink surreal
hotpinkauras:
So far i have recieved, thrugh her the first symbol, s I will not rush it, i d know the ther symbls, but wasnt sure if i should use them yet r not, until she "reveals" them t me in the next lesson? This will help me alot, though, thank you...tday I have sme physical discomfort, but somehow that is easier than the emotional part...I am sure this will help alot smile kiss
