Let Me Comfort You

Matthew Fluxington

11:12 / 20.04.04

Oh, Barbelith. I know that you are hurting - this world can be so harsh and unforgiving, especially to kind and generous souls such as yourselves. In this life, we know many sorrows, but thankfully we have our friends to provide us with solace during the hard times. I am your friend, Barbelith. Let me comfort you. Tell me, what is your problem?

Matthew I worry about the children of this world, they seem so confused. Should I worry about them so much? They'll turn out ok in the end right?

People keep telling me that everyone knows a clone hasn't got a soul and it makes me feel so bad for the clones. What should I do?

11:23 / 20.04.04

Matthew i love and respect you. Will you love and respect me back?

Jack Denfeld

11:37 / 20.04.04

Matthew, I want to call you "Mothafuckin' Matty Flux up in this mothafucka" but don't know if that's too casual.

Matthew Fluxington

11:38 / 20.04.04

I love and respect all of you. You are all beautiful and wonderful in your own special way. I cherish our time together.

If we give our children love, they will will blossom into wonderful adults who are strong, kind, and caring. It's everyone's job to nurture one another. They say that it takes a village to raise a child, and I believe that is true!

Clones have souls too. Every living thing has a soul. Humans create clones, but humans only do the work of God. Therefore clones of humans must have souls! It's only logical.

Shanghai Quasar

11:43 / 20.04.04

So I should stop putting down the clones, saving them from empty lives of soulless misery? I'm so confused.

Matthew Fluxington

11:48 / 20.04.04

Just show them love, and they will love you in return. Trust me, this will feel great. Love is the best thing ever.

A lifetime of kidney-rubbing has left me with sore kidneys, comforted only by sweet, sweet booze. Am I borecore?

Matthew Fluxington

12:01 / 20.04.04

Oh no, no. You're not borecore, buddy. You just have sore kidneys. If anything, you're sorecore. You poor thing! You need a hug. C'mere.

Group hug? C'mon guy...

Matthew Fluxington

12:48 / 20.04.04

If anything is better than hugging, it's nuzzling.

Barbelith, u r so cute.

Shanghai Quasar

12:49 / 20.04.04

You're right! Love IS the greatest thing ever.

Well, so far. I don't want to sound absolutist or anything. There might be something even greater than love.

Thank you, Matthew Fluxington! Bless your soul!

There is an ocean between me and the one I want to be with. Not a figurative ocean...a real one. Please Matthew, drain this ocean for me so that I may stride purposefully towards my love. Either that or build bridge. Please? It would mean the world to me and you would be forever in my good books (the one's with a real plot, twist ending and where the guy always gets the girl).

Matthew Fluxington

12:59 / 20.04.04

I cannot drain the oceans for you, nor do I have the resources or zoning permits which would allow me to build a bridge across the oceans. I can, however, front you the cash to buy some airplane tickets if you promise to pay me back sometime in the next year. I care.

Matthew Fluxington, you kindly acted as my life coach recently and gave me some advice by PM about "dirty talk." Now I'm not blaming you, after all, you did say that "timing and execution are everything," but, to cut a long story short Mrs J has booted me into the spare bedroom again. Ease my pain.

Scrubb is on a downward spiral

13:31 / 20.04.04

Matthew, my eyeliner has smudged itself up my brow. And I don't think that my arms are long enough to reach the barbehuggle.

***ssssttrreeeeeeaaachhhhhh***

Nope, too short.

Matthew Fluxington

13:36 / 20.04.04

Then we shall have to bring the hug to you, my friend!

Cash, I am so sorry about this, but hopefully this can become a learning experience for all of us. I recommend that you can the dirty talk for a bit, and bring on the sweet talk. Buy her something nice that she'll enjoy (such as flowers, chocolate hearts, a bowl of chili, a replica of a ship inside of a glass bottle, etc) and apologize. If she loves you (and I know that she does!), she will understand that you were just trying to experiment with new ways of expressing your love and white hot lust for her. Good luck, buddy!

Blossom cried on her driving test, but I cried during my driving lesson. I am so embarrassed. I didn't even kill anyone. Please comfort me and tell me that next time I cry on my driving lesson will be because I killed someone, and not with the car. Probably to eat them, if I was starving, and all the flowers and trees had died. Oh, the poor trees.

Matthew, your mom stopped calling me, and she still owes me money. What should I do?

17:07 / 20.04.04

matthew, i just want to say that i find you so soothing, on the real.

17:59 / 20.04.04

You cannot comfort me. The crystalline darkness of my obtenebrated being permits no comfort--save the ever-thickening blanket of dust that o'erlays the mansion of my soul, a dust composed of bitter memories and lost dreams, a dust that deadens the footfalls of Despair and obscures the harsh light of Regret.

Still, ta for the offer.

pomegranate

18:06 / 20.04.04

mordant, you are the uber-goth forevermore.

Matthew Fluxington

20:51 / 20.04.04

Jefe, I'll talk to my mom later. I think that something might be up - it's not like her to duck people when she owes them cash.

Squirmelia, I want you to remember that I believe in you. We all believe in you. This is a community. A community of love and caring. We are all brothers and sisters in this thing called Barbelith.

Come to me, children. Let me soothe and purify you. And then...we will grow STRONG.

I am feeling an abundance of love and compassion tonight... I'd like to join Mr. Fluxington's efforts to Comfort You, if I may be so bold. Who would like a kiss? French Style?

eddie thirteen

00:15 / 21.04.04

Well...I *want* to believe in Squirmelia, but something about her story just doesn't sit right. I think she *did* kill someone -- why else would she feel so bad about it? Matthew, am I a bad person for being so suspicious? I feel like I might be. But, at the same time, if I'm right, then I feel that maybe Squirmelia should be eternally damned. Am I just too judgmental? I don't know anymore. I'm so confused. Please lead me out of this dark vale of murky bafflement! Also, please keep me from consigning people's souls to the infernal pit, because that's probably bad too.

ONLY NICE THINGS

I have heard the Ryan Adams cover of "Wonderwall".

Can you comfort me?

Can anyone?

gotham island fae

00:47 / 21.04.04

I want to be strong. That would ease my pain. To be strong.

Does that mean I need to find and surround myself with things that don't kill me?

Jack Denfeld

01:01 / 21.04.04

Stop being a weirdo Flux.

No star here laces

01:07 / 21.04.04

Flux, Mike has a really bad smell. Like sandwiches or something. I'm finding it disturbing. Between that and the mom thing, distress is mounting. This comfort thing just isn't working for me. Can we discuss the terms of this relationship? The we complain-you comfort dynamic just isn't a positive thing right now, y'know?

bio k9

02:25 / 21.04.04

Indeed. Who comforts the comforter?

pomegranate

02:48 / 21.04.04

matthew!!!!! i will comfort you! feel my love vibe! i'm sending it eastward!!!

Baz Auckland

03:12 / 21.04.04

This thread, and the colour of this thread is so calming... just reading the words of comfort from Flux have filled my being with peace....

Matthew Fluxington

12:47 / 21.04.04

We must free ourselves of suspicion, judgement, and confusion - only then shall the time of The Great Purification be upon us! We must be certain of all that we know, because with certainty comes strength, the greatest comfort of them all. Wisdom is strength. Love is strength. Loyalty is strength.

Do not distrust sister Squirmelia, for she is worthy of the same love as you. The great love - the love of joyous enternity. Come together, my brothers and sisters. Let us revel and rejoice!

Matthew, life is very hard. My period just started and so my belly hurts very much. I took two Aleve, but that didn't help at all. Also, heartburn woke me up this morning. Do I have acid reflux disease?
