I was going to look for you too, octo.
I hesitated to write what Requiem was about because while I agree with what you wrote, I think it touches on deeper aspects of the human condition; the hollowing in that begets the hollowing out--as you so beautifully put it. It is brilliant, if horrific.
Ok Amelie it is. Oh, octopus. I'm so sorry you had to endure hearing that from your ex. It is baffling indeed. I hope you're not on your case because you called. How are you doing with it now?
Thanks for posting,
K.L.

My sweet fallsfall. Yes, you must set your alarm for 3am just to see if I've posted! ;)
I hope my doc made a mistake, but I'm beginning to doubt it. I'm on my way out right now to see some hypnotist try to convince my friend and I that we can become new people in only 3 sessions.
I'll let you know.

Hi Penny,
I'm glad to hear Ellen's nice. She seems like she would be. Like I said, I can't fathom why she wouldn't have won an academy award for that performance--except in one way it makes perfect sense: in this culture we can't look at anything that truthful, let alone applaud it.Thanks for posting.

Kara, when I read the boards, I've actually been envious of the relationships you've obviously established here. I wish that I felt as connected to everyone on this board the way that people seem to be connected to you. Don't feel unloved, because it's very clear that you're not.

Dear Hannah,
I'm pretty sure I just force myself on people. Thank you for such a nice post--it is amazing what I can do to convince myself otherwise--truly.And now that you've reached out I hope we can connect too.

And I thought that it was just me who felt that way here! ;)

There is so much angst. So much tension. Everywhere I went today, every interaction. I will only say it once, but I do believe it's more intense with the full moon.
Well that's how it is over on my side of the moon, anyway.
Anyone know any good prayers?

kara lynne,
you're right, requiem was a great movie. however i will never watch it again. it disturbed me too greatly. it's the mark of a good movie that can make emotion run so deep, but that's not a place i want to visit.
i'm ok with the whole thing with my ex now. like a prisoner i got one phone call. and the information he told me about getting back with his ex wife is what i needed to know. he's probably still hung up on the emotional drama of the whole thing. i don't do drama any more.
i drum instead. today i was playing with sticks on the stick drum, instead of on the hand drum. i tried to learn how to ting-ting-ting-ting with one hand and boom-wait-boom-wait with the other hand. it's not working. i can ting, or i can boom, but i can't ting and boom at the same time. and then all the other drums!
so i don't know any good prayers for you on the full moon tonight kara lynne, but i will try to play some good soul music for you. maybe the drums will chase the bad spirits away.
here's the hand drum part to the ting-boom song (this one i can do!)
boom- -thunk-thunk- -meep-
boom- -thunk-thunk- -meep-
boom- -thunk-thunk- -meep-
boom- -thunk-thunk- -meep-is it working yet? are the bad spirits leaving? heehee i have to get to bed. night!

ditto.
and a ting boom to you too. What a perfect way to drive those spirits out. I'm off for the day, but just wanted to say hello, and it's good to hear from you.

((((jimi))))
oh, jimi. I'm sorry the moon has been traveling on your back. I foresee it changing course in 0.5 seconds and being replaced by endless amounts of love.Unfortunately (fortunately?) I don't know the details of the drama. I'm not sure I need to know, but something upset you terribly and for that I am truly sorry. I know it takes a lot to ruffle my jimi feathers.
-om ah ra pa cha na dhi ..-
Thank you for thatfallsfall is giving massage messages? Hmm, I'll have to look into that.

Thank you Sabina! I really appreciate that. I'd like to know how you manage it yourself too if you ever want to share (apart from the water exercise..which was so rudely interrupted!).

Oh, that feeling of disconnectedness sounds familiar. I stopped posting because I gave some advice and thought afterwards since no one replied to it that it was probobly stupid advice. I start to think that my posts are stupid if I assert an opinion but don't get any replies...
Requiem for dreams didn't bother me too much although I thought it was kinda gross at times. I probobly would've become just like them back when I started to do drugs. I had started to enjoy E too much and it is a good thing that I was forcefully moved to another location, due to my job at the time, where I didn't have access to E parties. Actually, I didn't really care about the high I got while I was on E it was just that for the first time I felt connected to other people because of the effect E has on you when you're near other people.
Don't worry though Kara Lynne, if you ever feel alienated just think back to yabba and realize that you have a shoulder to lean on whenever you want one. In fact, if you do need one, ask me because it would make me feel good too =]

Hi yabba!
I'm so glad you wrote! It sounds like you understand the disconnectedness all too well.
It's easy for me to say to you that I'm sure no one thought your advice was stupid; they just probably got caught up in other things. And I really do believe that. But I would feel the same way myself--it's like you're just kinda hanging out there naked in cyberspace...Well I extend the same invitation back to you yabba, if you're ever feeling alienated.
Thanks again.

So sorry! Oh, my bad and then some. Do you want me to try to get it xx'd out? I wasn't even thinking--in fact maybe I didn't know that. Ugh. I'm so sorry.
(I don't use messenger, sorry)
