ATU What happened ??

...cath, did you miss the post where sj said that everyone in the lifeboat was granted status of our choosing?????

How did you think I became cyber contact

yes, I did miss that post Moony - I like cyber contact.......

Pinz was the one who said I was endlessly fascinating......and I think he actually meant it

I'm trying to live up to it.....hehehehehe

it's almost like that zero/infinity problem we had......

you know the one where all the boys got heated about the question of infinity......because after all we need to know......

just rambling on now - I do that sometimes......hehehehe

sorry I forgot to thank you SJ - you could put all my gratitude in a drawer....but it would spill over......

I'm not sure how much of my gratitude you could fit in your drawers.......

...endlessly fascinating suits you. Cyber contact is also from a comment someone made. It resonated rather like a wasp in a bottle at the time, but it's lost its sting (oh god I wrote it's and its) and now I quite like it. I fancied myself as something romantic and shipwrecky, or possibly something to do with the starry night sky...

The zero/infinity thing...

I was trying to think of the word at the time for the amazing photo of your dad on teh beach

and it was beachcomber......

your parents seem grand and lovely......

I wish I had a pic of my dad looking so vital and alive

actually I do have one....that I'm quite fond of

but your dad looked so movie star gorgeous

I imagine you have inherited their good looks and canny, sharp ways......

that photo is almost like something I read in a sci-fi novel about a man living on the beach......

seaweed, gnarly boughs of sea delivered wood, crabs, endless white sand

and a man that looks like he's weathered the storm

cheers

^^^^^
very well said Catherine,
especially the bit about blue moon's dad looking like a beachcomber.
that is what i thought at the time also, but never thought to say it out loud.

...holy crap Cath and Tatiana...you should see my brother!

I like scrawny men - where you can see every sinew and tendon of their hard-earned manhood

I like skinny-assed men.....thin men....men who hang onto manhood by a muscly thread.......

tanned or pale - I don't mind

as long as they have a skinny ass.....hehehehe......

ooohh...I know...and a uniform...

um, not quite.......

hehehe - I do love a skinny ass though.......

word (as Hosni would say)

I recently found out that the skin n bones dude I like is a complete twerp.......

I'm going to bed now - I'm just writing crap and SJ isn't around.......

there's a magnet on the fridge door at work

'no coffee, no workee'

in my case I think it's 'no SJ, no postee' heheheh

I think I might be the only person who finds that amusing......

plus I have to get up at 9:30am tomorrow and weave through splashing children in teh pool.......yikes.........

...swims like a fish...goodnight.

dreaming is like swimming in a way

we dream across oceans, currents and tides

across a universe of water.......

like salmon, we find our way home........

we wake up in the morning or afternoon

and the day ahead is earth-bound, grounded, solid

we need to be in teh womb of water that our dreams afford us

but who is brave enough to dream a dream of love and life and beauty

not many of us - I'm not sure I could do it.......

...the salmon falls, the mackerel-crowded seas

ahhh, so i am not the only one who thinks that this can be done.

I didn't know that you adhere to the beauty of watery dreams, Tats.....

I know that you are beautiful......but I never knew that you experience that particular beauty.......

there is so much that we need to learn and so much that we need to unlearn

I'm happy to discover this and to find out what we can teach each other

you've taught me so much already

but the only person I miss is Rhone - teh Rhonish........

what an amazing, wonderful, gorgeous, intelligent (sometimes nasty) person.......

and the only link I have is the tenuous one of email........

he was amazing.........

I might not make it to teh pool tomorrow.......

the Rhonish is a legend!!!!!

Ever since he said this I have been trying to think of what mine should/could be.... I have never had a status before

Then you would indeed like me

Have you thought of an epithet yet that you would like to see dangling from your name, kind sir?

I haven't, as yet, but how does a chap go about setting it up in lights, or is that done at your end?

how about Quiet Storm or Moon Goddess......(Quiet Storm was a radio station my older bother was a DJ for in Bangkok)

or Silver Surfer

or Too Hot to Handle (I don't like that one - it's not really you)

Bedouin Princess or Harem Scare 'Em....hehehehe

oh, you'll have to decide yourself - Lily of the Valley

these aren't very creative - but it's fun

I like silver surfer but it doesn't go with the avatar...flame of the forest?...burning bright?...fearful symmetry? forest of the night? (from the Blake poem TheTiger)


William Blake. 1757–1827

The Tiger

TIGER, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder and what art
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand and what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? What dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears,
And water'd heaven with their tears,
Did He smile His work to see?
Did He who made the lamb make thee?

Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

cyber contact seems quite well matched for you

I'll raid my piggy bank, and get back to you.

well, it doesn't have to go with the avatar......obviously......as it's pretty permanent

whereas some of us change our avatars and names quite often

how about ticket to ride

or soft steps in the cemetery

or dancing ninja

or swirling dervish

or dragon's breath

or fiesta forever

or well, this is pointless I could go on and on

she has to pick one

...dancing ninja and swirling dervish...now you're talking.
