Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
"Yes, honey it's on the interpipe. It captures your soul and then they download it to a Nigerian prince."
Another great duet, Johnny Cash and Joni Mitchell on "Long Black Veil." In case you've forgotten how angelic and unworldly the young Joni's voice was like.
Gram and Emmylou in a live version of "Love Hurts." Damn. There's just something magic hanging in the air between them. A love that never got a chance.
Wow have I not been online in just days and days and days. Whew!
I'm in Beijing! And flying back to the US on Tuesday night. I pretty much adore Beijing, but it rained all day yesterday and is raining today with more rain on the forecast for the next couple of days, so this is definitely putting a halt to my sight-seeing plans!!
I might go to the electronics market and buy a terribly fancy cell phone... I need a new one for when I go home anyway, and I think it would be great fun to have something neat that nobody else has.
So, I don't really want to get into it at all, but it's possible that I am single now. Or, will be very soon. And I don't need brackets or hugs or anything said, really, it's just that I've been part of a couple now for 3.5 years and it's really, really hard to just kind of undo it. It's possible it's not undone, but it likely is. Please forgive the nature of my posting some intensely personal and then not really wanting to discuss it further.
My boyfriend is a really wonderful guy in a multitude of ways but I don't think it's working out and it's breaking my heart and it sucks. I don't know if this is going to mean that I get quiet for a few months, or if it will mean the opposite. I know I moved to Oakland to be closer to him and most of my friends live in the City or the peninsula so I feel extremely isolated all of a sudden. Anyway.
When you need us, we are here.
No brackets or hugs, just listening and being respectful of whatever you need to do and say, or not. And vibes for wisdom and good decision-making.
Sorry, didn't mean to kill the thread. I'll probably go back and delete at some point.
So, I am headed to a 21-year-old's birthday tomorrow (daughter of my "cousin"). I am bringing, as a gift, 21 different bottles of beer, a $21 gift card to Starbucks and a $21 gift card for iTunes. A 21-year-old would like these gifts, yes?
oh javachick, that sucks. I'm sorry. I hope things go better than you think they will.
Oh, Java. Here's a good stiff drink for you, love.
no need to delete- unless you want to
not a thread killer, it has been quiet all night
