Hey~I'm still around. I just have been spending a lot more time on my own blogs, and leaving a comment or two here and there when I can. I actually want to start reading blogs by other folks that are somewhat new to me. A lot of new faces! And I'm still pretty new myself, huh? Been here almost a month now. Anyway, thanks for the sweet remark about there being a brightness around me. That's actually what I am aiming for. I even said that in one

I've decided I need to get out of here Anne~you got me very worried about you now. Please don't DO anything until after you have chatted with some JU folks.

Since you are then the guest at someone else's house, you need to mind your manners Jill~I love the quote. And I think this article is very timely and wise.

I agree with you on the insanity on here. I mean come on it would be so dull and boring on here if people like madpoet and dharma did post the articles the way they did. Could you even imagine if Capt. was dull and had no imagination?? Nah, I know i definatly couldn't. Why if it wasn't for him and some significate others this pla

I didn't realise how much 'stuff' I use until I didn't use it. Dharma~I quoted that because I think it is such a beautiful line. The entire poem is beautiful. It flows so nicely, and I especially like how you create a little bit of tension, but there is a strong resolution at the end? That is just so co

And I am ALWAYS glad to be in the fine and fair company of Dharma, huh? So will she know what you meant? I am sure she will too. And

Reply to What is up with my life? in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

Dude~sorry to hear about all this. It sounds like you really did meet the love of your life. I kinda had to read between the lines a little? I don't know why the whole thing had to come to such a screeching halt? You think maybe you weren't attentive and loving enough to her~did she tell you this herself? It doesn't have to be too late. People sometimes just need a little time and space before they truly can figure out what they want and need?

I never understood how it was possible to be in a room full of people but still feel desperately lonely until we started this remote assignment Dharma~I identified so strongly with your quote that I just had to leave you a comment here.

Hey Muggaz~you didn't happen to be involved in all that Marilyn Monroe conspiracy stuff, huh? I think it was around 1962-63? Oh yeah, you weren't even on the planet yet mate~sorry about that! .

Thanks for sharing. I hope things start to work out better for you soon. I've had my own share of student loan nightmares~ high rent apartments on campus, and jobs from Hell. I used to think there was no solution? But things began to slowly fall into place. Time. That was the only true solution. Until things get better for you~JU is a really cool place to let out some of your bottled up thoughts, and share them with some really cool folks. Blogging has

Reply to Becoming Vague in Art JoeUser Forums

Anne~your blogs just become more and more exquisite~the style and imagery are right up there with some of Sylvia Plath's prose (especially The Bell Jar). She even talks about how futile taking showers, washing her hair, and making the bed seemed to her most of the time. So this does sound like clinical depression for sure. Did you find your antidepressants yet? It is so very good that you are maintaining your personal hygiene, eating your meals, and bl

Sally~that elderly lady DID sound very rude (and even immature! .). So I don't blame you for feeling as you do at all. It is really cool that you can keep an open mind, and not be rude back to folks (when they are rude to you...). I try that philosophy also? But a truly rude person won't let you off the hook till they get some kind of reaction. I am finally learning this. So yeah, the best

We lie to look good. Capt~yeah, that's the idea of it. But ALSO because most people fear criticism and rejection big time. Plus most folks don't wanna be ALONE too much.

Anne~I'm glad everybody is being so supportive~I think that's what you probably need a lot of right now. I left you a longish (and totally supportive) message in response to the cool comment you left on my blog. I think Dharma should tell you where you can buy your own Waddle-Doo? Or else maybe send you a pic (did you get one made Dharma?). Just know we ALL are sending you a great big cyberhug right now, huh? *BIG HUG* ~MadPoet P.S.
