Nobody can now deny that karaoke is evil.

Didn't you and I just discuss this in our most recent "Saturday Night Chat" session?

Our discussion did not involve talk of Cag's tender parts being electrocuted.

true 'nuff...
but we did discuss whether or not karaoke was evil, did we not?

Since you appear to want to press the point, Menolly, you force me to create my own clique (with accompanying fancy acronym):

Watchers Against Karaoke's Evil, Unholy Presence (W.A.K.E.U.P.)

LOL
...now I feel the urge to create an acronym for karaoke supporters...

...ah well...
not my forte.

Wadds? Luci? Anybody?

Last night I had one of my melancholy nights. One of the nights I get every few months, when I feel completely alone. In general, being alone doesn't bother me. But every now and then I feel the lack of someone to talk to enthusiastically about things I find interesting, who will find them interesting too just because I do.

I cried a lot and went to sleep. Meh.

I am re-emerging in a safe house to type this message before Carla and I go back into hiding. Aliantha and her daughter Batty and Shara_Lunison came to visit, and I thought after Seafest, it might be safe. But apparently Aliantha took the knife pulled on her a bit more personally than Carla and I thought. They came in and slipped rags over both of our faces with some strange substance that knocked us out. We woke up in what they kept referring to as the "Elephant Bar" which I suspect had something to do with the giant elephant foot that held us in place for a while as they did unspeakable things to us. At some point, they even hooked up electrodes to our tender parts, which they referred to as doing "karaoke." We managed to escape through sheer luck, and have been hiding out since. Our escape seemed a bit easier than I would expect, which makes me very nervous of why. But we are safe now, but will be separating briefly before we can find a new place to hide out and try to resume a normal life. But the therapy bills will be through the roof.

I have but one warning for the rest of you: Beware of Aliantha.

Oddly, I don't remember any of this. Too bad! Sounds like we had a good time.

this is an interesting day for me. i broke through "the wall" and seem to have some focus in my writing. One thing I discovered is that I just cannot be home and write. too many kids, needs, demands, distractions etc. so i hauled my butt to B & N found a corner, put on my ipod and it seemed to work. spent 3 hours on Sat and 3 on Sun. a good day for me.

right now I'm feeling...awed.
just came inside from my front yard, where Hyperception, Beorn and I stood and watched the primal fiery orange streak of the space shuttle launch. No binoculars. No telescope. No nothing. Just the trees lining the road blocking most of our view, and the streak of orange bursting through anyway.

...awesome...

I have nights like that...and I even have a significant other (bah!)...so huggles Covy. I know how you feel. Hope you feel better today.

Hugs to Cjr...I have nights like that even though I found my soulmate. He made it hard to be alone anymore, which kills me cos when he goes back to base in Adelaide & I'm stuck here, readjusting to an empty house is almost unbearable. And way too quiet...

But what keeps me going is that the current separations are only temporary - and he'll be here with me permanently before this year is out!!

A totally random comment but HOOLEY DOOLEY: And that's what I'm talking about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am getting injections in my back in the am. go under for it. the fourth or fifth time i have done this.

On Friday the 13th, my dad had a bike accident and broke his collarbone.
Until that time, I did not believe in any of the superstitions surrounding that particular day.
I still don't (I think).
It really stinks for my dad though because he bikes to commute to and from work, and needs the exercise to regulate his blood pressure. He's been really restless the last couple of days. At least he's not really in any pain.

In happier news, my brother and sister both performed in Les Miserables this weekend and did a fantastic job. It took me a while to figure out who they were playing on stage because their acting was so good I didn't recognize them!
My brother had a pretty major role (leader of the students fighting at the barricade--I forget what his name was). I always knew he was a great singer (even though he usually doesn't believe me), but he surprised me with how well he did. He's only a freshman in high school, so I wouldn't be surprised to see him in even bigger roles in the coming years.
My sister was in the ensemble, but she got to be the b*+chy person who caused Fantine to lose her job. She's always been good at that role (I know, I have to share a room with her when I'm at home ), and this weekend she did it even better than usual.
Four performances -> four (long) standing ovations.

Tomorrow I'm having a movie marathon with a couple of friends (thank God for spring break!).

All in all I feel pretty good, and am glad that my dad only broke a shoulder (he crashed head-first into a ditch).

I am here.

Birthday! Wohoo!!

The congratulations have begun in the Birthday thread. Happy Birthday!

ayeup.
Birthday greetings have been posted in the thread in the Summonsing.
But since you mentioned it here, I'll send wishes for the 4th time...

Happy Birthday, Xar.

That's a little obsessive...but wait...oh...yeah...it's Menolly, that explains it.

Anyway, happy birthday person who runs the forum I never go into!
