can we talk about audrey hepburn for awhile? *sigh*
gup
Guppy ~ Of course we can talk about Audrey. What shall we discuss?
front page news in NZ's national newspaper..... 'Killer guppies found in Auckland!'
*gasp*
apprently these little fishes gang up on big fish and nibble on their fins til they can't swim any more...... how crazy is that?
by the way.... I'm in love. :-)
guppy....... cattleya: I love it. Simple!
Gala-
he he he
in the vein of some of the discussion around here whilst I was away, yes I think basketball agrees with me... But an ode to the Madness of March would be tedious in the extreme.
B.K.-
thanks for asking after me. I was in Las Vegas for five days. I am sure I will have more poetry soon.
"Just listen take to heart, ponder what you have heard and consider it. If you can honestly say that you have seriously thought about the things that have been said and written, then so be it. Conviction comes with time."

DuDoll-
Nicely put. It’s a simple request, but would you extend Chris the same courtesy? Could YOU listen to him in a thoughtful, nonjudgmental way? Can YOU ponder the truth of his beliefs with an open mind and an open heart? He does have a point.
If you can, then maybe you and DuBal could go one step farther. Perhaps you could respect the varied intellects and faiths of this on-line community by simply contributing and commenting on romantic, secular (or at least non-denominational) poetry
(or really great burritos.)

Terry...
Had Immortal with my morning coffee...simple and beautiful..wow.
Gala
Kev: Glad to see you back, hope you took Vegas for a bundle..lol
TanQ: lol, amen,
Dubal, Dudoll: How about some religious Feng Shui? Stop the tunnel vision page streaking.
Gup; Orchids and Audrey, both my favs. (sigh) So beautiful!

terry: sigh, beautiful Darlin.
To Guppy,
I really liked "Cattleya"... it said so much with so few words. Gave me a happy feeling. Thanks.
To Jennie,
"I heard an angel cry".... was beautiful.... softly written with genuine feelings..... Thanks.
To Ali,
"Could Not Ignore".... Well written. Pricked feelings and curiosity .... Thanks for sharing....
To Gman,
"Mourning"... I just love the way it flowed. Very witty, deep feelings.... I just loved everything about it.....
I could read it over and over.... and see you and feel you.
To SCQUEEN,
"Nice Catch" was great.... I loved the comparison.... and made me visualize so clearly your words... so well written.
Think I'll go back and read it again. I love things written about water and the sea...........tranquil feelings abound.
And to also feel your comparison..... Great.
To Deeva,
Two of yours caught my eye.... "Lunch"... Such happy feelings flowed from your pen..... yet the bitter/sweet
clearly there. then "Flowing Water"... I loved it....
BRAVO.... washing your scent away..... but carrying your heart with him.... Soooo Romantic..... and sensual too....
I have been reading a lot of your writings.....You have a happy, wonderful soul, with pizzaz to lift us all.....
Thanks...
*****
Gala~ 'Basic Venusian, For Native Speakers of Mars' was absolutely astounding! You are awesome! *bowing in humble reverence*...
Laura~ 'I will, I can, I do' was very well written! Keep writing!
Harem~ Many, many thanks! You made my day! *now, I'm grinning like an idiot*..hehe...
Love and light, Ali
B.K.-
only went to Vegas because that is where the post-season basketball tournament was. Had a great time, only it cost way too much (no such thing as cheap hotels in Las Vegas on Friday and Saturday nights).
Gosh, I am smitten by all this wonderful writing. So glad I was turned on to this place.... This is truly a writer's paradise....
To BK,
"Blue Flame", wonderful.... the quickie versus the long burning fire..... short but powerful.....
To Star of David,
"The Way you Love Me." .... When I read it.... Floating on your words, fulfilling my romantic needs .... Calgon take me away...... Thanks.
To Cee,
"WE" was very very creative..... a pleasure to read.
and - "First Kiss"... made me weak in the knees.....
Thanks.
To Ali,
"Do I Dare".... I loved it.... You said it all here....
I do believe that there is not a person on the face of the earth... who has not had such inner conflict to face.... They say the heart argues with the head over such decisions....but my dilemma has always been "Which is which?" and which is right..... which half should I listen to ??....You handled this so well...... Thanks....
To Christopher Lake,
Thanks for "Actually" .... romance handled with light humor..... Great....
To Smiling Kat,
"Seeking Answers" You captured the major questions about love that have been puzzling mankind since Adam and Eve...... Good Job.... also.... "Strings" was quite creative.... I liked it.... Marionette puppets... nice conparison. Thanks.

Let's talk about Angelina Jolie. I love her in "Gia," "Girl Interrupted" and "Pushing Tin." Watched her in her first scene in "Gone in Sixty Seconds" then got bored and left the room.
...When I started writing my second screenplay (I'm on Scene 74! Yay! Sixteen more scenes to go!)I envisioned Angelina playing the lead role. If I ever actually sell the script maybe she could be persuaded. That would be awesome. Chris and I could go bowling with Angelina and Billy Bob.
I also love her dad (Jon Voight) in "Anaconda" and "Midnight Cowboy."
P.S. I also enjoyed Voight's performance in "Deliverance" but that movie scared me. Gave me some serious nightmares, I tell ya.
Echolocation~ 'Burritos, and God, and Love, Oh My!' was great! LOL!!
Love and smiles, Ali
Misti~ Angelia Jolie is such an awesome actress...there's a movie that you should rent, with her in it(and a whole mess of other people)...it's called 'Playing By Heart'...This is one of my favorite movies! It is really great...well, written, well acted...I think you'll like it!
Love and light, Ali
Ok, guys.... I am about to make a fool out of myself. Wish there were someone here to stop me... But what the heck, I am anonymous.... and often a fool. So here goes.
I am pretty choked up with all the reading I have been doing here on the love blender lately. The out pouring of feelings, heartaches, disappointments, loss, intense caring, loving and being loved, sharing, pain, and every human emotion possible, both bold, frail, and fierce.... has really gotten to me. Everyone has been so open.... so willing to share.... even the most intimate secrets of their heart....
I feel like I have inherited a family... Like I finally found other humans like myself. I have often felt like a freak, where I never fit in with anyone.... always been a loner.... so out of place .... but here in my safe anonymous character, for the first time in my life, I can share without fear of judgement, recrimination, or rejection..... I sit here writing this , With tears in my eyes.... I thank everyone here for allowing me into the chambers of their minds and hearts.... for sharing with me and the world..... For allowing me to be a part of all this..... An outlet for my soul...... I don't know anyone on the loveblender personally..... but I am slowly feeling a very close friendship with each and every writer. Thank you so much..... And forgive me for this maudlin display of mushy sentimentality...... I love yah man..... But you can't have any of my Bud Light..... *Sigh.....
....................
Harem,
Thanks for the compliment.
Your writing is soul shaking as always...
To Star of David,
You're writings today, have been keeping me in a tremendous emotional state... I applaud your style, candor, and depth of feelings. I especially liked "I Can't get Warm"....
and "If these Walls Could Talk." However, my favorite was..
"Reply to your Proposal of Marriage." I can't thank you enough for sharing your intimate, painful secrets. I need to know that I am not alone in much of my past feelings and sufferings..... Thank you so much....
To Echolocation,
So I see you are borderline Genius.... You made me laugh, you made me smile... you made me *Sigh.... You took lines and lines of writing and debating and tossing and turning, and cooking and baking, and thinking and loving, and battered it up, carved it out, made it simple and straight..... and served it on a golden plate...... BRAVO.
and thanks.
....................
To Misti Lake,
NOT STUPID at all..... "The Trouble With Randy" was brilliant... Wonderfully written... VERY interesting.
I thought it was great... I am learning so much about life and human nature through many of your writings. Please don't stop sharing here..... Thanks......
Harem ~ You have just become co-dependent on the Loveblender like the rest of us! Welcome! We are a family and it's wonderful. Don't ever apologize for your feelings here. It's a great group for encouragement, feed back, love and care.
Harem~ For me, this place is a haven, and I think it is for you too...I agree that's it's a wonderfull place...with a warm and loving atmosphere...I've found coming here, terribly addictive!
Love and smiles, Ali p.s...I'm glad you liked 'Do I Dare'. Thanks!
Love and dreams, Ali
Misti~ I thought Angelina was highly over-rated......until I saw her in 'Playing By Heart'. She made me cry. Any actor who can do that is worth the effort! That's when I fell in love with her!...
terry
Terry~ You saw 'Playing By Heart'? Thank God! I thought I was the only one who saw that movie! Everytime I mention it to someone, they're like "Playing by what? Never heard of it"...Anyway, it's one of my favorite movies!
Love and daisies, Ali
h; 'Spring,' is so beautiful. I was sitting here happily moving squares of cloth around to make a quilt, trying not to let my addiction to this place take hold...ha So here I am now crying like a baby and it's all your fault..HA
Hey Misti; Angelina is great, I loved 'Pushing Tin,'you could tell she and Billy Bob had the chemistry going right
then and there.
bk
Cee~ ....thank you very much about your comments on 'This Old Stetson'. They mean alot!
And thank you to to Angel, BK, Michael, and everyone who joined in the cinquain fun. I was amazed at how fast everyone produced such quality work!
And thank you Gala....The LoveBlender is a great way to start the day!
Ali~ that movie is one of my all time favorites. Not only does it have Angelina, but Gillian Anderson is my dream girl. And then Sean Connery too? it is a great ensemble cast!
terry
Kevin ~ 'Saying Those Three Words' says so much more. Thank you :-)
Elaina~ That will make a great song! If you need to talk, email me, k?
Brandy~ Wow...great poem...'Walls of the Heart' was just great!
Love and sunshine, Ali
Harem~
Thank you for the compliment on my "Randy" thing! Unfortunately, Randy is very real. My mom is the woman he's obsessed with. My mom has been married to Joe for two years now and Randy is still bothering her. It's really bizarre.
...As other Blender regulars can attest, I've been sharing my angst and psycho dramas with this community since '97. Don't ever feel foolish for expressing yourself in your submissions or on the Board. I've actually submitted stuff and posted comments while drunk off my ass. It's fun. I highly recommend it. That reminds me...I can't remember the last time I had a Shiner Bock or Rolling Rock. I've got Saturday circled in green on my calendar.
...Regarding "Playing by Heart"- I'll have to rent it next time I go to Blockbuster.
