well, it's either two or three days till de-activation time....I'm gonna miss a lot of you, like my new friend Lilith...but, hey, we're all out there, right? besides, due to my recent financial distress, I couldn't afford to stay anymore anyway....oh well
I've been scarce around here lately, so if I don't talk to you before your name goes grey, good luck to you sir!! May you dominate the earth during your absence here on the site!!
well, just 5 days till I go grey...feels like logans run or something.
I had a terrible scare last week.
I'm sitting here at work, and I get a call. a woman says Mr. B? unless you can pay us $24,000 by friday, we're taking your tax return, and will begin garnishing 30% of your gross income. we have already filed paperwork with your payroll... Read More
No idea what you are talking about... loan re-hab? but it sounds VERY fishy... you thought you were paying something off but it was going somewhere else?
Hmmm.... is that legal? can they mislead you and then garnish your wages? man... my heart bleeds...
I am beginning to think that my time here is coming to an end. when I first joined, this seemed like a cool group...a haven away from the mindless masses. now, however it seems they have lifted the rock we were all happily under and pulled us out, screaming into the light. While I have, admittedly met some very cool people here, and you know... Read More
I've been feeling jaded towards the site in general lately as well...a couple of characters, and sometimes the general atmosphere gets me feeling blah....
Very prickly poem you have here today, I must say...like it!!
Is there a reason you guessed that I was "attached?" There are many women my age now who do prefer to be single you know?
Igen ("yes"in Hugarian) I do indeed hail from Hungary. I was born in Budapest and lived in Munich, Germany before settling over here in New England. We came here around 1987 or so (I think I was 10-11). I have no accent (in case you wondered...most people ask right away...maybe they think an accent would be sexy or something).
I meant ROMANTIC capital R means like the movement
"Artistic and intellectual movement that originated in the late 18th century and stressed strong emotion, imagination, freedom from classical correctness in art forms, and rebellion against social conventions.
Romanticism, attitude or intellectual orientation that characterized many works of literature, painting, music, architecture, criticism, and historiography in Western civilization over a period from the late 18th to the mid-19th century. Romanticism can be seen as a rejection of the precepts of order, calm, harmony, balance, idealization, and rationality that typified Classicism in general and late 18th-century Neoclassicism in particular. It was also to some extent a reaction against the Enlightenment and against 18th-century rationalism and physical materialism in general. Romanticism emphasized the individual, the subjective, the irrational, the imaginative, the personal, the spontaneous, the emotional, the visionary, and the transcendental.
Among the characteristic attitudes of Romanticism were the following: a deepened appreciation of the beauties of nature; a general exaltation of emotion over reason and of the senses over intellect; a turning in upon the self and a heightened examination of human personality and its moods and mental potentialities; a preoccupation with the genius, the hero, and the exceptional figure in general, and a focus on his passions and inner struggles; a new view of the artist as a supremely individual creator, whose creative spirit is more important than strict adherence to formal rules and traditional procedures; an emphasis upon imagination as a gateway to transcendent experience and spiritual truth; an obsessive interest in folk culture, national and ethnic cultural origins, and the medieval era; and a predilection for the exotic, the remote, the mysterious, the weird, the occult, the monstrous, the diseased, and even the satanic. "
Remember that Romantic captial "R" Love was all about just the appreciation. In fact they believed that consumating anything would destroy it. There were stories of married women with children having Romantic Lovers, who would "woo" them. Sing songs at their windows, adore them. But never even kiss them, for fear of shattering the ROMANCE....
sigh..
very much like the lovers on the Grecian Urn, (Ode to a Grecian Urn by Keats) who forever will be in the exquisit moment just before the first kiss, no moment will be sweeter.
"...Bold Lover, never, never canst thou kiss,
Though winning near the goalyet, do not grieve;
She cannot fade, though thou hast not thy bliss,
For ever wilt thou love, and she be fair! ..."
I am j's complete lack of respect.

some general BULLSHIT from last night's SOU address by "our" president:
In two weeks, I will send you a budget that funds the war, protects the homeland, and meets important domestic needs, while limiting the growth in discretionary spending to less than 4 percent. (Applause.) This will require that Congress focus on priorities, cut wasteful spending, and... Read More
Are you wooing me? As in the capital 'R' Romantic ideal? I don't think I've ever been wooed before... maybe still not but while it lasts I shall wallow...
Ovid is fine... Just because one person introduced me to wine, doesn't mean I don't drink it whenever I want.
I never asked you how you know Ovid? oh and what do you teach and to whom? if you don't mind me asking?
Mad Libs must've been a favorite childhood past time of yours, judging by your latest comment in my journal. And while the abandoned building scene is intriguing, I prefer an audience.
