***This is insane. It's midnight here in California,.*** |
|
I need to go to bed.
And what am I doing? Starting a thread.......
I have been in a very weird mood tonight......sad, restless, full of odd emotions........
There are some things happening in my personal life that are much on my mind...
But they haven't bothered me that much lately.........
So I don't know what I'm doing right now.......
I guess I'd like to hear from all of you.........
How are you doing? Need anything?

Personally, I could use a hug right about now.
And a double-dose of...something. Courage, maybe?

Almost five?
There must be another time zone that I'm not familiar with!
The sun will be up soon, for you, won't it?
:hug:
Good to see you tonight!

2. Some days are just like that, darlin' Peggy. |
|
Best thing I can say is don't fight it - just makes it worse if you try to force yourself to go to sleep.
I'm doing pretty well. Been BUSY this week with work -- woohoo!!!! My workload has been very low for the past few months, but it's starting to pick up some, which is great. :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
Hang in there, my friend. Things will work out. And PM me anytime, if you need to talk. :loveya: :hug: :loveya:

12. Tears can be very healing. |

I think of them as a liquid form of emotion -- sometimes happy, sometimes sad, sometimes from frustration.

5. Eh, it's been a long crazy day... |
|
My mother & stepdad headed out for Toronto this morning, leaving me home with my grandmother. Well, she ended up collapsing today and was out for like 2 minutes. I had to call 9-11 and she was rushed to the hospital. I spent a few hours there today and they think she needs a pacemaker (her heartrate was down to 40) but they're running some tests to make sure it wasn't a seizure. So my parents turned around while they were halfway to Toronto and came back to NJ.
I was supposed to go to a DUers house to teach her about digital photography & fix her printer, but I ended up not being able to and I wasn't able to call her to say I wouldn't make it. I sent her a PM tonight though. After that I was supposed to go see a play one of my friends wrote, but I can do that tommorow.
Plus I've had terrible PMS cramps all day, so I eventually caved and took a percoset. All around a crappy day. Bleh.

I'll happily take the blame for your still being awake!
I"m just moody tonight......it happens, sweetie......
If you use the HTML lookup table, you can do the bold and italic things...
Just use these brackets: [] with the i or the b inside to start the italicized or bold words......
And at the end of the phrase, insert this: /. And then put the i or the b after that. And of course, you still need the brackets!
Try it, and you'll get it.......if my instructions made sense!
Now go to bed! I'll be gone in another half hour or so.......:loveya: :hug:

26. 200 proof is 100% alcohol. |
|
It's technically impossible to have 200 proof liquor, because it will absordb water from the air.

Edited on Sat Sep-16-06 02:31 AM by AutumnMist
Ok I will. The more hugs the better. I know we have shared some similar comments this evening/morning but I thought I would make a comment as well. About you. You can do it. Whatever is on your plate right now? Most likely it will fade in the future. When you need to work through it do so. Whatever is on your mind will be better when you are rested in the morning. Throw it out with the moon and face the day with a new dawn. You are loved here and embraced. And I have to ask you...because I really mean it. Need anything? I will be up for awhile. Always here to listen. :):hug:

We can stay up. I am getting ready to make some popcorn and watch my latest Japanese horror flick on DVD. Would you like buttered or plain popcorn? There is always room to share! :)
P.S. Thank you for the comment about my username. My favorite time of year is approaching. Hence the name. Fall is right around the corner. Pumpkins, canning, and outdoors galore. I am slightly biased with the seasons. Ok, maybe much biased in seasons. :bounce:

You always bring a smile to my face. My son is growing so fast, he is about seven months old now. I remember my wife being pregnant and me asking you for advice and you always being so comforting. You are an amazing person and don't ever forget it.

I responded quickly and kind of off the cuff before - without reading everything...hope your mind and heart are settling down in their proper places (they never really do know their place do they?) You have been soothing to me tonight, so I wish you to feel peace and calm also. A storm is rolling in from the Atlantic (or the Gulf) hard to tell on this little spit of land...and a storm always makes me calm..sending those thoughts your way, the soft sound of rain and the soughing of the wind in the palms.....Talk to you soon I hope...and a blue island shirt will be winging its way to you...sweet dreams from your island friend...

33. While she was so busy being free |
|
Theres a man whos been out sailing In a decade full of dreams And he takes her to a schooner And he treats her like a queen Bearing beads from california With their amber stones and green He has called her from the harbor He has kissed her with his freedom He has heard her off to starboard In the breaking and the breathing Of the water weeds While she was busy being free
Theres a man whos climbed a mountain And hes calling out her name And he hopes her heart can hear three thousand miles He calls again He can think her there beside him He can miss her just the same He has missed her in the forest While he showed her all the flowers And the branches sang the chorus As he climbed the scaley towers Of a forest tree While she was somewhere being free
Theres a man whos sent a letter And hes waiting for reply He has asked her of her travels Since the day they said goodbye He writes wish you were beside me We can make it if we try He has seen her at the office With her name on all his papers Thru the sharing of the profits He will find it hard to shake her From his memory And shes so busy being free
Theres a lady in the city And she thinks she loves them all Theres the one whos thinking of her Theres the one who sometimes calls Theres the one who writes her letters With his facts and figures scrawl She has brought them to her senses They have laughed inside her laughter Now she rallies her defenses For she fears that one will ask her For eternity And shes so busy being free
Theres a man who sends her medals He is bleeding from the war Theres a jouster and a jester and a man who owns a store Theres a drummer and a dreamer And you know there may be more She will love them when she sees them They will lose her if they follow And she only means to please them And her heart is full and hollow Like a cactus tree While shes so busy being free

Southeastern weather in general is hell. So damn humid and steamy and hot as hell....you feel so nasty as soon as you go outside-which sucks b/c my school is really centered around outdoors (like if you walk out of a classroom, you are outside)..

Well, you know..........some days or nights are like this........
I've lived long enough to realize it.....
And you're doing exactly what I need......
You're here, and talking to me!
I think one of the worst things about feeling sad/weird is the feeling that no-one has ever felt this way before......
The feeling of isolation from others......
So when my friends come and talk to me, well......that takes care of it!
Thank you, sweetie.......this too shall pass......
