I read <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2003.10.22.21.24.17901">Her Foolish Ideas</a> and it brought to mind the many times I thought the same in the past. I also thought maybe, just maybe, she felt exactly the same about me.<BR>
Maybe the other party also thinks "she will never know the words we say to each other, the looks we give each other, the secrets of your true feelings, or even begin to understand "Our" Love / she can only pretend they no longer exist / Oh, how desperate, pathetic, and lonely she must be to actually fool herself into all of this..."<BR>
The thought that she may feel the same used to scare me. I guess that verse about "if you love something set it free" is true because one cannot really fight to own and hold a soul, a person, the love of another; it is a wholly conscious and willing choice the other person has to make to be all yours.

Cool, it's a big relief to see things more or less humming here.  <BR>
<BR>
Just to recap: what happend was, I changed "webhosts"--that means I went from one company to another for hosting services, and that means I had to move all the site content from one physical machine to another.  (People may remember problems with the old webhost, the site content filled up all the diskspace I'd paid for, so sometimes things would break. The new webhost realizes that diskspace is relatively cheap, and doesn't charge me an arm and a leg.) <BR>
<BR>
The thing is, I needed the transfer to me a "one shot deal"...I couldn't allow both the site on the old machine and the site on the new machine to both update works and comments.<BR>
<BR>
I thought we were good to go with that "temporary URL", but that broke for a few days whem I finally gave the order to have loveblender.com point to the new machine. (Personally I think that that breaking was a mistake by the new webhost, but it's an understandable one)<BR>
<BR>
Finally, word that loveblender.com points to the new machine oozed out over the network, and now I think we're all safe and sound here.<BR>
<BR>
Finally, I'm thinking about finally going ahead and printing up a mass run of loveblender.com t-shirts, decently quality, not the cafepress stuff.  Looking at <a href="http://www.brunettotshirts.com/">http://www.brunettotshirts.com/</a> , I'd need to get at least 20 made, 'cause I'd probably do a 3 color pixelated blender (ala the one at the top of the front page, or the smaller version of the same.) So cost would be $7 or $8  plus...I dunno, how much does it cost to mail those out?  Think I have 17 or 18 other people here intersted in having a shirt?

I can always use another good quality t-shirt. Maybe wearing it around would inspire me to write some more!!! <BR>
My inspiration has gone into hiding lately....

Misti...<BR>
Just read "I want to be"<BR>
<BR>
It was a good read, and isn't it the truth. I think we all want to be something or someone different at some point right. <BR>
Just in case you don't know, from reading your writing and your comments, I imagine you are just dandy the way you are. Of course also from reading your writings and comments, I think you know that...!<BR>

Kirk~<BR>
Yes! I'll want at least two. Actually, I might want more than that for Christmas gifts. It just depends on the job situation. I'm so happy that the Blender is blending again. It's my daily nightly fix. Thanks!<BR>

Thanks for the comments on Barbie and Ken. I was glad to find that in the archives. I had a lot of fun with that one. I was always making my dolls have weird dialogues. Once when I was five or six I was playing Barbies with my friend Lisa and she told her mom that I made my Barbie sneak into her Barbie's dream house and steal pork chops. Her mom gave me a lecture and I didn't say a word. I just put on my boots and walked home in the snow. It pissed me off that my dolls, at least, couldn't experience the heady thrill of anarchy.<BR>

LOL. Thanks. Sometimes I am very pleased with myself. Lately I've been in love with myself. I need to keep it in check.
