i think
a)yes, but only in their minds
b)yes, but only the women

Hi, I think I am going to have a breakdown, I think I am about to just fizzle and fry...my entire life is shredded into little bits, no one gives a shit. I am sick with rage.

Oh, it was okay. I was sitting next to the CEO of the company but he was actually quite a nice bloke. And on my other side was a very cool and entertaining woman from one of the national UK papers. So, can't complain really.
 
 
Ariadne
22:50 / 08.10.03
Oh god, May - are you okay? I was being all flippant, and then it sounds like you're having a hit time.
 
 
Papess
22:54 / 08.10.03
No, I am not really ok. I think I need some hugs and maybe a new brain, heart and a little courage.
 
 
Papess
22:56 / 08.10.03
Which way to Emerald Cty?
 
 
Ariadne
22:58 / 08.10.03
Oh dear. Hugs and everything else coming your way. I have to go now but I hope you're okay.
 
 
Papess

thanks Araidne. sounds like a lovely dinner really. I think I could use some good food. I bought some yummy devon cream for my tea. I figured, what could be more comforting than the astoundingly high fat content of a dairy product such as a cream that sticks to your spoon.

MoooooMooooooMoooooo

Okay, I can still type. I must still be here.

Please..more huggles if someone can spare em, and brains too...lots of those mine are wearing thin and seeping out my ears.

Huggles May. Don't know the details, but warmth and love your way. What brains do you need?

October appears to be the nasty month of fall 2003- usually it's November, in my experience. Bad things have beset my department from all sides- my boss' father passed away, our chair fell off a ladder, and one of the actors had a kidney infection and supposedly almost died.

On the up side, I managed to get a good amount of groceries for just a little bit over the weekly grocery budget, and I'm trying out a whole slew (sleiu, sloo?) of recipes this week, plus I finally got a good recipe for meatballs.

On the I'm not really sure what to make of it side, it sounds like there's about ten people singing hymns downstairs. They're relatively in tune and reasonably quiet, but it's always odd for me to feel the presence of the faithful near me. And I'm watching the remake of the Italian Job, which has Seth Green, so I'll give it a shot (plus I've never seen the original.)

Dairy is a supreme comfort. I can give you a recipe for potato and leek soup which is a marvelous vehicle for cream if you like. Whenever I'm down, I buy a half pound block of havarti cheese and eat it in one sitting, usually.

maz, that sounds lovely

may, I have some nice homemade chocolate soup. very nice. my brain needs it right now, but I've got enough to share
 
 
Mazarine
23:40 / 08.10.03
kittie, I need that chocolate soup recipe.

The potato leek recipe is really easy, in addition to its deliciousity:

1.5 lbs potatoes
4 cups chicken stock
salt & pepper to taste
garlic powder- a couple shakes
.5 cup heavy cream
4 medium leeks

a. Peel & cut taters into 1 inch cubes
b. Wash the leeks & cut the white & one inch of the pale green into 1/2 inch pieces.
c. Bring potatoes, leeks & stock to a boil
d. Reduce heat & simmer covered for about 20 minutes
e. Puree.
f. Add cream and seasonings, blend, re-warm & try not to eat the whole pot at once.

I usually just put in enough stock to barely cover the potatoes and leeks, and it comes out marvelously thick, then you add the cream. Half & half works just as well.

Havarti is less work, though.

Mmmmm...ice creammmmmmmm! Goes well with brains, BK?

Oh dear, Maz...how did you know? That has to be my absolute favourite soup! Does it use this blasted devon cream? It really should be illegal, ya know. A woman with a butt like mine should have been arrested at the cash with the cream in my hot little hands!

I need the part of the brain that will help me transmute all this pain and rage into a tool. I have a child here I need to fuction properly for and about a million fucken dollars that I need in order to do it. I am sooo fucked.
 
 
Papess
23:44 / 08.10.03
wait...you said chocolate soup? Wow..that is cool!

Tell me she hasnt teased us with chocolate soup, and then gone to bed without giving the recipe...
Kittie?
 
 
Mazarine
00:10 / 09.10.03
I don't know if it uses Devonshire, I imagine it can- I'd just stir constantly to make sure it doesn't curdle. And never you mind your butt! You can help me in my crusade to change the current fashionable figure from skinny back to burlesque worthy.

I'm afraid I don't know how to make a million dollars. As for pain and rage into a tool, that takes a more enlightened soul than mine, but I do find tea helps, and writing things down. As for children, I have no idea. But they are resilient, and fairly brave.

asses that arent fat enough lead to crankyness.

thin about it. how painful is it riding a bike with a solid seat over cobbles? and how good is it when you have a padded gel saddle?
exactly.
all those days of your life spent sitting... you need a good cushion.

i would rather a fat assed lady friend than a cranky ass lady friend.
 
 
Papess
00:26 / 09.10.03
Thank you for the recipe Maz. It does seem like Kittie has left us to drool all over this thread. She is such a tease! SOUP TEASE!

Maz, thanks for your kind words, but right now I really need that enlightened soul.

Dont panic May- Im on my way to becoming a millionairress. And when I do, you'll be sorted. So long as I get some of that dang chocolate soup.
 
 
Papess
00:37 / 09.10.03
Tell me...what is your plan? I can't be held back from love due to money, can this happen? There are other things, but it plays an important factor.

SOMEBODY, SOMETHING TAKE MY WOE AWAY!
 
 
Papess
00:45 / 09.10.03
Maybe I will make a sigil. (hehe) As we know, there are sigils for many occasions. For love, money, binding,...even destruction. Why don't I make a sigil along the lines of "I will recieve more brains, heart and courage (and money. What is the currency in Emerald city?)to continue down this yellow brick laden rabbit hole any further. Maybe I should go smoke a poppy and then have tea withthe wizard!"

I wonder what kinda chaos would blossom forth from that. Hmmmm....

00:52 / 09.10.03
Hello. Briefly. I'm awake, but about to go to sleep. I'm just in a warm and snuggly "I love Barbelith" mood cos everyone's been so nice to me today, so I thought I'd pop in and say hi. And bye!
 
 
gingerbop
00:53 / 09.10.03
My plan? Become famous and/or paint lots of glasses.

Shite. My pa's having heart wobblies, mum's just about to take him to hospital. Cant wait til I can drive- hate her having to do this. She's not a night-person. Anyway, no doubt they'll be back again in a couple hours.
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
01:05 / 09.10.03
Huggles and big love to both your ma and pa, gb. I'm sure (and I hope and "pray", were I the praying kind) everything'll be alright.

OK. This time I'm DEFINITELY going to sleep.
 
 
Papess
01:05 / 09.10.03
Hiya Stoatie, glad you are feeling better!

Ginger?, what is going on? Everything ok with your dad?
 
 
Papess
01:07 / 09.10.03
g'wan Stoatie...good night then to ya, you brave soul!
 
 
Mazarine
01:15 / 09.10.03
What is the currency in Emerald city?

Lollypops, like as not.

Good night, sweet Stoat.

Hi all!
Just got on now... Sorry to hear everyone's life is hitting the bad buttons.

"What is the currency in Emerald city?"

"Lollypops, like as not."


Yeah I hear you can get over 400 lollies for a good lion pelt! And tin is geting an all time high in the scrap metal shops.
 
 
Papess
01:36 / 09.10.03
Why is it that my whole life can come down to lollies? How is this possible?
 
 
Saint Keggers
01:39 / 09.10.03
Because Lollipops, with their infinite variations, are the greatest candy next to gummie bears!
 
 
Mazarine
01:53 / 09.10.03
See, I can't eat gummy bears. Swedish fish, sour patch kids/fruits, but no gummies. But gummy bears possess an inner strength. Lick one, stick it to a wall, leave it for a day, pull it off, see how much plaster you come away with.

Then again, the currency in the Emerald City probably has something to do with those poppies... poppies... poppies...
 
 
Saint Keggers
02:02 / 09.10.03
Yes Gummies do posses great strength. That is why I eat their heads and thus gain THE SECRET POWER OF GUMMIE!!

I take it this now counts as early shift, yes?
I've just got back from hospital- I went so my mam wouldnt be all alone. Dad had 2 heart valves replaced this year, and he's usually fine, but has occasional wobbliness etc. Ach, he'll be fine. My sleeping patterns, however...

I once tried to give up gelatine, seeing what as its not so very veggie; but I gave up after a whole day with no jelly sweets.

In my last year of primary school, my best friend Kelly and me put a tracker on top of some wee box sticking out the wall, about 6 feet up- a fire alarm or something. Last summer, I was a travelling art-teacher's assistant for the week of work-experience. We went to my old school... and yes, it was still there. Vile.

I've been going with my mother to radiation treatments recently. Lots of people I know seem to have serious medical concerns all of a sudden.
I think it's all those comics I've been reading. I knew they were radioactive all along.

meh.
