Well at least I am learning clarity of thought and words today....I meant innocents....as in young of thought and full of passion...not innocence, which admittedly had a different connotation.
And nikki, I have read your poems, I just assumed a young heart and older soul....
terry
and Gala, you are teaching me never to make assumptions again. A lesson i thought was already mastered :)
Thank You Angel and Galadrial for the support! If Kevin wasn't so simply delightful when he was around I'd have to really give him you know what!
Kevin did send me a nice little note in which he was on his knees groveling, begging me for forgiveness! LOL
So I did what any smart person would do and forgave him, but not without a few choice words!
love ya Teddy bear!
Terry-you really are a sweetheart to withstand all of the razzing I have given. And tonight I feel as though my age may never really catch up to the years I feel my heart and soul are wearing.
and speaking of lessons mastered...are any of them really ever mastered? I think I find more often than not, that the things I thought I knew, were really only destined to be repeated. But I keep trying...and that's what it's alll about.
suffering from a headache and insomnia....not to mention that there's nothing good on cable tonight....nikki

Yea nikki, your last note almost mirrors how I feel tonight. My insomnia is in rare form, and having spent a small fortune on satellite tv, still find nothing on to match my mood. So I compiled all the sad love songs I had in mp3 format and am letting them play in the background while I work. Sandi is out of town, and my regular icq's are doing the weekend thing, but at least this board has brought a good number of smiles the last couple days.
And yes, I am very familiar with revisiting all my old lessons on a regular basis. But like you I keep trying to bury them for good.
Hope the headache goes away quickly...

my take on lessons learned, eternal circles, and so on:
i believe in the whole saying about "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink"...that's the number one reason i don't date horses...though some phillies may be tempting...ha...a horse is a horse...of course, of course...no matter if they're grazing in a pasture or shaking their sweet asses in an evening gown...people need desire to learn
probably the biggest lesson i've learned from my own romantic endeavors is that humor is golden...whether things are good or bad...i'm an idiot...i know it...i'm comfortable with it...and it's pretty much my belief that everyone is an idiot...we all do stupid weird things from time to time...people need to laugh more...at themselves...at the stress factors in life...and a romantic relationship should be the ideal place for that...
love is about empathy, trust, humor, compromise, patience, and passion...all of which are present in friendship except for the passion thing...which is present in some friendships anyway...ha...
i thought i had something to say about the eternal circle thing, but i guess i don't....at least right now....bed calls...
catch you all at the next sermon...
gup
<smile> the coffee date was moved til sometime this week... he was called into work... I spent time with an old school friend instead... she has just moved here from our old home town. It was cool catching up.
deevaa (the freaking nervous one)
Heart-
I did forget to thank you publicly for your poem, hon... THANK you so very much...
Gala-
thanks for the prod (ouch)... I have been trying, but obviously not my best! Can you forgive me too?
Say, here is that FGK of yours, Megs?
(an aside to Terry, as one mortal to another)
By the way, you're right... Gala IS divine!
Oh, and Dee...
YOU GO GIRL....

Some people boil in water! Some people drown in water! Some people get found by things in water that they dont' want to get found by! Pirannha and sharks and electric eels and jellyfish and stingrays come to mind! And then there is the dilemma of hurricanes and tsunamis! This troubles me.
However, while signing slambooks online the other night (I am not proud of myself for wasting my time on such nonsense, but according to astrology in this incarnation it is up to me to nurture my inner brat and if we all determine our age then I will always be twelve)it occured to me that the best way to answer the trite questions is with irony injected humor. So when asked,"Where is the most romantic place for a first kiss?" my reply is,"On a raft in the middle of a shark infested sea."
So I hope this enlightenment is sufficient. I hope when I get run over by a train I will wake up in whatever eternal resting place I'm sure you ingeniously created. I hope it's not an aquarium, though. Eternity is a long damn time to live in an aquarium.
OOPS! That was supposed to be DGOUS. I must've been thinking of another god. Devious Goldfish of Uncontained Audacity. Sooooo sorry!!!! Please forgive.
ok...so my headache has wandered off, to lay in wait to surpirise me another day...and still there is nothing on cable. someone please remind me why I pay the extra money every month to have digital cable in the first place?
and as a reassurance to you Gala and Terry, I seem tohave settled down somewhat, and the little devil who had me so in an uproar the past couple of days seems to have taken a nap. I can't promise my spell of behaving will be long-lived, but perhaps a brief respite is in store for the two of you.
crawling lethargically off....
I'm seriously freaking about my exhibition, only three of my paintings are good enough for the show; the dancer and plughole, (which are sold) and family (which I don't want to sell) ... I'm very close to pulling out -- I spent ages last night painting, then I went to bed only to get out about 15mins later to finish the painting I'd started, I'm very nervous, I need to paint at least 4 more good ones before Friday -- inspire me!!!
I need several good passionate poems... <pleading eyes> please?? something with soul... please please please?

May Digest is here everyone...
Just finished Enigma's ramble----
Should be required reading before they allow anyone to marry!
Kirk---and Enigma----thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Gala
Oh and Kirk---
I loved the Chaos of My Day----thanks for the pick...despite the chaos I created this weekend!
Love Gala
Love the ramble -- and am about to email someone about that... thanks.
Gala -- I missed 'Chaos' on the new subs board.. how did I do that -- loved it.
also the last one about chalk on concrete (forgot who wrote it, and don't want to go back -- sorry) loved it... hmmmm... very much.
Ya know, I forgot it was even the start of the month and that a new blender was due! (how bad is that.... must write more, I'll put the paint brushes down soon.... )
dee
Look- Its me...
Thanks for all the good luck words for finals week :)
It helped (I hope)
Now I can write again...and breathe again...and correspond normally again.
I have a new email (again)
Now you can send your comments...criticisms...and general letters to WVUMegs25@aol.com...till summer is over...this is my email at home (although I would boycott AOL personally)
Congrats to the front pagers...Good all around!!!
Have to check out this ramble.
Dee Goddess of Sexual wisdom? How are we mere mortals s'posed to inspire you? I know you will come up with something marvelous...I thought you were going to present the Recline series though? If you pull out I think my FGM will kick your butt.
Off for now...Megs
I was going too -- I had 10 paintings matted and mounted -- but on re-looking at them I think only 3 are good enough for the show, the recline series isn't clean enough... it needs re-working.
I'm in an panic to get more work ready.
dee
Panic=Bad.
Don't be sooooo overly critical.
I really like the recline series myself...I thought it was a good sample...but you are the artiste here not my humble self.
