[Fragile]

Camy, from this great distance and from what you have written it might be that you have seen through some of the false reasoning that abounds on the planet in relation to what we should and should not believe as well as what we might be. The danger for you is that someone may present you with a convincing argument to adopt their answer. Be careful. Camy, does it help to know that every worthwhile human being goes through what you are feeling at the moment?Every artist suffers from periods of doubt and questioning in both the personal and universal sense. It is part of the price an artist pays for being sensitive. And being sensitive is where our creativity comes from. Daring to be sensitive is a life long effort.I know it doesn't feel easy, but being aware of what you are feeling, what you have written and shared with us, is part of the reality of living life to the full. You will come to grips with it. You will learn to use it to create, and you will learn to use your sensitivity to help others.It takes time and effort, but it is worth it.You honour us by sharing your thoughts with us.(Yeah! I am an old hippie, )Peace be with you.

Cole I think I will settle for the mauling, particularly if it means a num anus, but I can assure I remain anything but an expert in the female massage matters even if it was only once an anum. OMG I can't believe we are even talking about this!

[Avast.]

Yes May I add I am so pleased to hear of the improved financial situation.Excellent news.

[(25) Let's play doctor.]

Cole Parker wants to know about "decorum". If I remember correctly, where my cousin was concerned there was very little decorum any where near him.My doctor is a bout the same age as me, a year or two younger at most. This makes me a little apprehensive in case he becomes as senile as me. The image of one old fogey trying to assess the health of another old fogey is probably material for a Monty Python sketch. I must admit also that in my experience I find it terribly difficult to relate to a female doctor. I am not all comfortable with them on practically any level outside of me being unconscious. I certainly would not want to discuss my anum with her. (I presume the plural of anum is anus.) If I spend any more time in the forums I will be arrested for loitering. But yes Cole, I did need a reassurance from a friendly human (male) that I was still breathing and not threatened with immediate extinction. Now I have to worry about poor Jason sitting there all waiting for me to practise medicine without a licence.I just hope he understands the need for decorum if I inspect his anum.

*grabs doctor costume from the closet* *washes in Tide with blue snuggles fabric softner**puts doctor costume on**waits patiently for Des to come over and play*

So I have to be The Nurse -again? Waits "patient-ly"...was that a deliberate pun?

[(25) Let's play doctor.]

That sounds so nice and innocent Des, but you neglected to say what age your cousin was.

Hmm I think he was about 16. However, I must admit I wasn't counting years at the time.And no he wasn't my first, err doctor.

[(25) Let's play doctor.]

You are so right Trab. Doctors do get sick of being worshipped as gods. (though some of them do like it).I always have a little human joke with the doc and he seems to like the fun.He told me he gets very frustrated with patients that just expect him to do all the work and won't make an effort for themselves.I believe when we visit a doctor we should always remember it is called a 'consultation' and that means the final decisions must rest with me, albeit with consideration of the doctors advice. I had a cute cousin I used to practise medicine with when I was 14.

[Eight Business Days]

Problem is, my laptop's battery has died. Completely died. To the point where, even when it's plugged into the wall, there's no juice getting to the laptop itself. The laptop's got all my writing files on it - character bibles, plot outlines, loose dialogue, etc. On top of that, it's the only computer I've got access to that's private, and I've never been able to write well in public.

Hmm, I am wondering how you wrote this post...?

[TV Commercial's Might be the Reason why I'm Alone]

Very, very entertaining.Post it as a short story!

[I picked the wrong week...]

What about the line: "Do like it when your doggie grabs your leg?" or words to that effect? Camy, what have you done? Did you quit your job? Lose your virginity (again)? I hope all is well.

[By A Hair]

Outstanding! Won by a hair. Congratulations.You should sell your games' commentating skills.I was on the edge of mt seat.

[(24) Death in the Back Yard]

Truman Capote was a famous writer (Breakfast at Tiffany's).Twp films have been made about his life during the period he wrote a book called "In Cold Blood" on a real life murderer.One film "Capote" won the Academy Award best picture 2005.The other film covering the same period was "Infamous" (2006).Further details can be found at:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truman_CapoteOr just Google 'Capote' for references to both the movie and the man. He had the most annoying effeminate "Southern" accent I have ever heard.

[(24) Death in the Back Yard]

No Trab, he screams with a certain charm befitting of a masculine gentle guy who is certainly not a fem.Dead birds, rats and mice all set him off on an ascending scale of screams with high C resulting from being 'goosed' as they say.We (both of us) are ordinary guys who have never adopted either of the extremes of mannerisms so often stereo-typed in books or movies. So we are neither fems or knuckle-dragging gorillas, both of which can have their own charms. Whilst I am most accepting of all these mannerisms, I must say I would like to choke some degree of masculinity out of the actors portraying Truman Capote, but evidently he really did sound the way they play him. That voice makes me want to scream.

Frankly, having mom think about me in bondage gear, with or without a high school girl, is enough to make me ill. One thing that really struck me was the "bubbles erupting from the gasoline rainbows". I see strange beauty in unlikely locations too.

One of my youthful occupations was a petrol service station attendant, and I instantly recalled the image of "bubbles erupting from the gasoline rainbows" as I read the words. Such strong accurate imagery. Wonderful.

[Here Goes Nothing]

Your blog almost leaves me speechless. Almost, but not quite. As for nothing well done, I don't like anything less than well done. Pink meat is not beautiful or tasty to me. (Oh God. What is Des going to do with THAT comment?)

Relax Trab, I'm a vegetarian.I prefer my meat live, though I must admit to not being fussy about the colour.

[How hard II]

See what you've started, Des?

Me? What have I done now?What do you mean?OMG, What Have I done?(tears into his own flesh with the barbed wire whip).

[How hard can it be?]

Do Emus do the head burying in the sand thing, I thought only ostriches did that? Buried head...hmmm.

[Unsent Letter to Jessica]

In Australia the beautiful people drink lots of beer to become drunk enough to not worry about how ugly the person is that they are in bed with. Of course turning out the light still helps.

[Unsent Letter to Jessica]

Good idea Des, I didn't even think about posting it in the poetry section. Jason R.PS: I guess you really aren't just a pretty face.

I wish! You haven't looked at my profile have you? Ha ha ha ha.*Turns out the lights after putting the paper bag back over his head*

[How hard can it be?]

If you're having problems deciding which things to toss, I'll be more than happy to come over and help you toss some things off....err out. *smiles innoceently* Jason R.

...or is that as the English say, "I'd help you toss off."

[Unsent Letter to Jessica]

This should really be in the poems.As an unsent letter I think it is very creative and heartfelt. As a poem I think it delightfully introspective and evocative.Thanks for sharing that with us Jason.

[Here Goes Nothing]

Is doing nothing well, the same as nothing well done? Surreal first day RadStvn.

[Stalkers, Shoes, and more Relatives]

(Ele)Civil, I read your blog and instantly feel Young again.I wondered what I would have been like if I had had something like the Internet when I was 20 or so.I read your blog and think I know or at least have a damn good idea about it. Love the puns.

[That Notebook]

I am not sure why it happened, but both of WBMS comments showed up as highlighted with an "approve" button next to the delete button.I reasoned I could see them because I have some moderator powers that enabled me to see them, so clicked on approve and they now appear as normal i.e. not highlighted. Can you all see Wibby's comments now? I also clicked on the "shoe clean" button but I think all it did was to give the outside of the shoes a nice shine.

[(23) Advanced notice re: undies]

Just a minute Trab, I'll check... No, they seem to be those new one piece seamless type, so I will just have to drop them down in order to accommodate whatever is happening. (as if anything is going to happen. LOL)
