Mordant>

Fuck - right - off! That's fantastic! And it gets better with every page. (Chaps - be sure to check out all the pages, not just the first one (as I nearly did)).

Mordant, any idea who done it? My french is el rubbish.

Mordant, that's lovely.

My own happiness is increased by the following:

La Perla+lillies+Lilly Nowhere+29 Palms+Frankie+Provence

as well as this list, which is not mine, but is flattering:

one of charlie parker
two of leonard cohen
three of chopin
four compilation of all national anthems
five of thelenious monk
six of jacques brel
seven of anne lennox
eight of bulgarian choirs
nine live recording of smdo at fiesta schiphorst
ten of tony and faUSt at qeh without the encore

Oh, and how could I forget - the hand-made pages which have occupied so much gladly-delivered time and make up a super-special Morning Bride edition to enclose their equally lovely new recordings. Craftwork is fun.

I dunno, Saveloy. It's something that the local government of Nante laid on, but who was behind the actual work, I'm not sure.

Well it certainly is the most beautiful thing. Even the capsule itself would have been worth a big happy, but the elephant! The puppet girl!

Oooooh.

The elephant though, the elephant! Swinging its trunk! Crossing the river on the Pont Anne de Bretagne. Woohoo!

Puzzling picture of a car with a smashed rear windscreen half way through the galleries. A car-smashing elephant is even more fabulous.

I thought the big girl, la géante, was a bit creepy somehow.
 
 
Mon Oncle Ignatius
21:24 / 12.10.05
The French do mysterious spectacle very well. The elephant proves it, but the scooter even more so; and then the shower?

So much to puzzle over - but the best thing about the sequence is that it looks like the capsule just landed and no-one was expecting it. Wouldn't that be the best thing to have happen in your neighbourhood?

I was thinking the same thing a little earlier. You should always wait until the 3rd date before giving someone a knife.
 
 
Loomis
12:09 / 14.10.05
Plus anyone who really cared about you would buy you a knife that you're allowed to carry in public. If he's not willing to put some time into researching the knife laws for your state, then he clearly hasn't invested himself in the relationship.

Yeah, but if he hasn't gifted you with an antique bayonet by date ten, you should totally dump him.
 
 
Bear
12:33 / 14.10.05
Not to mock the gift of course. It would give me a happy if someone gave me a knife as a gift but then I've got a bit of a thing about them...

If you wear one around your neck on a string does is it still classed as a concealed weapon?
 
 
pointless & uncalled for
12:47 / 14.10.05
It depends if you keep it obscured from view a shirt or display it proudly as it dangles tantilisingly against your naked flesh like a totem of your place in this world.

10:33 / 16.10.05
Yeah, I know we were only dating for a day before he gave me the knife, but I've known him for months. And I'm sure he thought the knife was legal. Maybe I'm wrong about it not being legal. It's a bit of a technicality. As I said, it's not really a switchblade, according to the dictionary defintion of a switchblade. It's only a switchblade according to a weird law.

HURRAH! As mentioned on the 'grr' thread, had DSS assessment today, which I've been crapping myself about for weeks now.

As it turns out, the doctor was lovely(!) knowledgeable about mental health issues(!!) told me not to worry about the outcome (!!!) and that I was brave to be doing what I'm doing (!!!!)

Ok, I've finished with the exclam.s but fucking hell, this was the worst day of my life last year and now I'm completely flummoxed with relief.

(and sure, it's ambiguous, as it also means that I pretty much obviously messy enough to qualify, but oh the relief.)

Ok, the coincidences are starting to get a little weird. Good weird. There have been 3 of them.

1. I decided that I wanted to buy a certain musical instrument, and that I was going to start thrift store hopping to find what I was looking for. Before I could even start (was it the next day, I don't really remember) someone gave me exactly what I was thinking of getting for myself, completely out of the blue. I'm not even a musician, so it's sort of a strange thing for someone to give me. Wonderful, and weird.

2. The knife. I had been thinking that very morning that I wanted to get a knife for myself, and had a vague idea of what kind of knife I wanted. Then my boyfriend gave me a knife which fit that vague discription. Even if it's not legal, it's weird. And wonderful.

3. Due to a rather strange situation which is all my fault, some money that I was supposed to get a while ago never showed up and I'm very broke. I was thinking yesterday that I'm going to have to quit smoking cigarettes (I've already been without pot for ages because of this situation. *sigh*) so that I'll still be able to afford to eat. I was very upset about this, and thought something along the lines of "I know I need to quit and I want to quit, but I need to quit because I've decided to quit, not because I've been forced to quit due to being unable to get cigarettes." And really, I want to quit once I get past the extra stress that I'm expirienceing right now. But I figured I was just screwed. A few hours later, my boyfriend, who knows I'm low on money but doesn't know how low, gave me a pack. Not just any pack of cigarettes, but my favorite brand. He's really sweet, so I just figured it was really good timing. Well, then today I went to see my sister, and when I walked in she handed me a pack of cigarettes. Not just any cigarettes, but my favorite brand. "Um....thanks a lot...but why are you giving me these?" "I've smoked a lot of your cigarettes, so I figured I ought to buy you more." "I've smoked a lot of your cigarettes, too. I figured we broke even or something." "No, I've smoked more of yours." "Ok, thanks." I also found out that the money that I should have gotten ages ago is totally on it's way, and got a bit of money from someone else, enough to tide me over until the money that I'm supposed to have actually gets here. It's enough to keep me smoking and eating. Weird. Is it wonderful? Well, I think it is. I want to quit smoking, but I really want to do it on my own terms, and if I do it because I'm out of money, I'll just start again when I have more money. Strangely enough, this is sort of making me want to quit. I think I've give it another go pretty soon (I've tried to quit numerous times. who hasn't?).

We don't have a "gives me an eerie" thread (that I know of) so I figured that since it was all good coincidences, I'd post it here.

ok, so I know you guys don't actually care, but ya know I'm starting to think that this stuff isn't coincidental. Ok, so coincidence #4 just happened about 15 minutes after I posted (the coincidences I posted about all happened within the last 8 days or so, which makes it weirder, ok?). Ok, so there was something wrong with my car. I hate to be vague, but I really want to be vague so it won't be too easy for a certain 2 people to figure out which Barbelith member I am, if in fact they are reading Barbelith to try to spy on me (I'm so fucking paranoid. sorry. and ya know I don't even act paranoid. I'm always saying way too much personal stuff on barbelith. but I still don't want them to recognize that I'm fuckbaked. eh) Anyway, so this thing that was wrong with my car, well, it wasn't something really serious, but more of a convienience thing, for the most part. Except I figured that once it started raining, it might become more of a safety issue than a convienience thing. I keep thinking it's summer, so I figured that wouldn't happen. And anyway, I was going to get it fixed in a few days. And no, it was not my windshield wipers. If those broke, it would be a serious safety issue, rain or no rain. It was something much more minor, that I think is very important for when it's raining. Sorry, vagueness. hehehheh. anyway, today as I was driving down the street, the thing that was broken just suddenly fixed itself. It's not fixed in a "it's going to break again tomorrow" way, but in a perma-fixed way. So anyway, it started raining 5 minutes later. As if it isn't cool enough that my car fixed itself before I got the chance to pay someone to fix it, um...well, I wanted it done before it started raining. Coincidence? can I even spell coincidence? I don't know. but I don't even know if coincidences exist anymore. I know this is weird, but not too long ago, something entered me (like some sort of entity or somesuch) and I tried to make it go away, but then it told me it was here to help, so I let it stay. My friends say I'm totally not possessed. I don't know why on earth an entity would want to help me, but I sort of have to wonder what the fuck is going on, ya know? I mean, ok, so I didn't mention the thing that happened last week, because it wasn't supposed to be a coincidence. It was the most feeble attempt at magic ever. I didn't do anything. I just asked for something, and hoped it would magically happen. I was in a hurry, ok. Yeah, stop laughing. Anyway, so I had a very bad cough, which I had had for months (it's not the only thing that was making me sick) and I thought that I could get rid of that gawdawful cough if I could just stop getting all these colds. And then tuesday night (last week), I started coughing up blood again. arrrg. wednesday morning I woke up with a fucking horrible cold. Runny/stuffy nose, sneezing, etc. I wouldn't usually care about a cold, but I really wanted the cough to go away, and getting another cold would mean another month before it might go away, unless I got yet another cold, and I had something to do that I really needed brainpower for, and being sleep-deprived and sick didn't seem like a very good way to have to do it. Anyway, so I asked for help with not getting colds. Just sort of asked. I asked a different entity than the one that entered me, but I don't know if that one could even hear me from there. An hour later, the cold was gone. Now the cough is almost completely gone. (if you've heard me complaining elsewhere on Barbelith about health problems, I was probably complaining about my other health problem, which I don't expect will ever totally go away). I know, I should quit smoking...but hey I've never had a cold go away in an hour before. You wouldn't believe how awake and healthy I felt when I was doing that thing I needed brainpower for. anyway.....sorry.......you all think I'm getting crazier. I probably am. But this is way more fun than my usual craziness. This rules.

ok, so I know you guys don't actually care

That´s a bit unfair, fuckbaked. We probably do care. Just because noone answered your post in three hours doesn´t mean other members don´t care, but maybe that they´re asleep. You have to realize, it was 02:34 at the time of you post in Britain (and most active members seem to be British).

I try to read all of your posts. They´re very interesting to me; mostly because you remind me very much of my last girlfriend. She always had adventures just like yours. And the same problems you have (for example all of those you mentioned in your last two posts). And she also had lots of these coincidences and synchronicities. There is a thread about this, BTW, in the temple forum. You can find it here.

So, I just wanted to tell you, you´re being read.
