Mad dogs and ......
I had no choice, I had to get out and get some fags and a little shopping, but why I picked to do it in the afternoon .... the approach to the shops overlooks the sea, ''and not a drop to drink''.
...i'm sitting in a puddle and it's not piss, i'm melting!
Sooooooo beautifully HOT!!
Well that's one Macaroni cheese that I won't be showing off, omg, it was a disater..quickly moving on .. there i'm doing again 'quickly', everything these days seem to to needed yesterday,slow down, S L O W.
I'm still serious about moving home, maybe even getting all new phone numbers etc, it seems to be one of the selling point these days, the phone companies tell you, ''you can keep you old phone number'' ... 'because it's easier', what is that? it means friends don't have to edit and save your new number, omg, they would actually have to punch in a number, G-d forbid ... I happen to like 'new' every now and again .. a sort of Spring clean in my life and my 'friends' will just have to edit.
I was seriously impressed with the house prices in the States .. omfg, i'll have two of those ..lol .. with a pool...
I guess I had best hold back as I feel this could be the start of a world wide recession.
Can you believe that tomorrow will be my one year anniversary on VR. I still can't believe it.
My first VR year has seen people come and go, it has brought new loves into my heart and taken them away again, it has built confidences and established friendships that I hope will be timeless.
All this from one man's dream, for this I need to thank Cancer. Thank you.
Even with all the drama that I tend to surf on it all helps to make VR what it is.
Even my wonderful home here, The Coven Of Mystical Darkness celebrated its one year anniversary just a few days back.
Life is good, I strive, but don't we all?!!
Have any of you taken the time to look at the goodness of the people on VR who donate so gracefully to charity, just take a peep in the forum, doesn't it make you proud, humble even to be among such great people, they may consider themselves ordinary but in my eyes they are brilliant, they are the heart of VR.
Okay time to eat .. catch ya laters.

I was was served up Macaroni cheese that was so dry it had to be sliced lol
This was quite the opposite .. it slurped its way to the bin.
Ok Ok......come on over I will make you some good ole home made mac n cheese.....
Last week found me in America of all places. A crying cousin and a 'quick' wedding were the order of the day, so my coz and I headed out on the 3rd for JFK (NY) straight after a funeral I may add.
We arrived at JFK fairly late, my coz had the sense to connect and fly straight to LA where the wedding was to be held the following Wednesday (10th). But not me .... you see my ticket was bought way back in the February and I had to connect for Lambert (Missouri).
I stayed at a delightful hotel ... I was restless and didn't sleep much at all. The hotel was dead, there was no one about to chat to or anything.
Silly me, the 4th of July is just a date in the English calendar.
I felt so alone and miserable that I just wanted to be out of this State.
I have to say that the weather really did impress me..
Anyway, I must have caught the eye of the pretty receptionist ... we chated for hours and I told her how I wound up there ...
remember, I'd never seen this girl in my life ... when she got off work (about midday ish) she insisted I come back to her house to meet her family and join in with the BBQ ... this was a total stranger .... I didn't hesitate I went showered and changed appropriately (loud colours and all that).
I got to meet four generations of her family, I really was taken back by this hospitality. Her husband and brother (at my request) took me into St Louis to see a parade and the great Mississippi River... what can I say.
They lived in a place called St Ann (trust me) a really new town, especially by British standards, I don't think it was more than 50 years old... she told me her family originated from the Alabama area.
This young lady saved me ...
Saturday late morning her husband and brother picked me up at the hotel and drove me to the airport ... I really did cry and for more than one reason, this would probably be my last time smelling Missouri air.
I arrived at Ft Worth (Dallas, Texas) to be met by another of my cousins who drove me to my uncle and aunts home where I was to stay till Tuesday evening before we all flew out to LA.
Well FUCK THAT for heat ... how does anyone survive all day long ... I sat infront of the air con blower for a full 5 hours .. every day!
I loved Texas, the heat, smell, people ... maybe because I was with family ... it was fun.
So it was now LA ... my cousin was glad I was there, she lived with us when she was studying in England (Oxford no less.....shame it didn't teach her about contraception) and we were always close. She knew I would keep the family in line if anything were to have been said ... it so happens nothing was and the guy she was marring was 'ok' ...
I got to stay in Van Nuys and visited San Diego whilst I was there ... it was good to see so much of the family again, some I hadn't seen for over twenty years.
Doesn't time fly........

Ah that was nice of her to do that. Lord knows what trouble you would have gotten yourself into else lol
Next time you come to the states you BETTER come to North Carolina. Don't make me beat you, lol.
and Wisconsin too! Hell, I could take you around and introduce you to all the cows. Some of them are real....wait for it...party animals! LMAO
I cannot believe you were here and didn't bother to call........
Next time you are in Dallas - I'd better be getting an e-mail or a phone call babes.... Or else.....
Hi journal,
been a while again, sorry for that.
As you know I have a tendency to push away people that get too close or I think have made me feel useless, whether they realise it or not (more so if they don't realise it as that is the bigger insult) or have become too possessive, I tend to run a mile ... mostly to stop from getting hurt further .... it's that 'wall' you have heard me talk of in the past.
No matter how much I may be fond of someone, love even, I push them out my life ... I have become quite good at it ... it's an art for me now.
There is this one person who has decided to sit on 'my' wall' and ignore my tantrums, she sits up there and no matter what I do she won't budge, she refuses to let me leave her life, the harder I push her away the tighter she holds on ... the hurtful words I speak .. the more I see the love of true friendship in her eyes.
I think i'll let her sit on my wall ... if I tried moving her, she'd only kick my ass.
There are not many who make it to being this close to me and who are still around ... but she is as natural as me breathing.

Nothing more beautiful than that~
;) stop pushing
Thats just what Hawks do darlin ;-)
I know what you mean about that. Seems we try not to attach ourselves to things of this world perhaps out of fear of losing them anyway? Well i guess the best way to think about it is...love while you can, even if it is for a short time. You don't wanna spend the rest of your days running away from things. The one's that actually do hold on, are the one's worth it in my book. ;)
You have a choice - be happy - :)
