ostarella: (Thoughts)

Hate the sin...

It's been a long, tiring week. The weather for one thing - hot like it normally gets in August (upper 90s) and humid, then today more thunderstorms and rain. Very depressing and draining. Then I got into it with one of the guys at work last night - and I don't know where that even came from! Like lightning on a clear day. And of course, the debacle over on DS.

I've been thinking about that whole thing a lot - not just the overall nastiness, but about the person behind it. I don't know her - all I know are her actions and words. And that's not the whole person. As I said over on DBC, I, like Tracy, pity her. I can't help but wonder what happened, what went wrong, that turned what should have been as we jokingly referred to as a "cruise fantasy" into a way of life - filled with venom and paranoia. Not that I would ever *ever* condone what she's done. But at the same time, it makes me stop and think. Think about things I've done or said that I would love to take back, re-do. Some things can't be undone, the pain caused can't be wiped clean with an apology. But as they say, every day is a new beginning. Sometimes it's just hard to recognize that, take advantage of it. And damned hard to make changes that have become a way of life.

I know. What a bummer of a post...

Or a bottle of good brandy... ;-)

See, that's my line of thinking too ;o)

although alcohol won't solve problems... but sure, it'll make you forget about them for a little while ;o) make it a double :D

Need cheering up, eh?
Watch this picture for a while, it will hypnotise you with its cuteness.



If that doesn't work, go read this. Caution, don't be drinking anything while reading.

You could read the blimp story at a funeral and even the corpse would start laughing.

Who needs alcohol when there's good strong tea to be had?

::screws up face:: you are not normal!!!!

You're a northern lass, you should be able to drink me under the table.

With tea you'd easily do it - don't like tea (unless it's clipper green tea with lemon)

Oh my cat used to do Star jumps in her younger days... don't catch her doing it so often now ;o( (Apparently she's 64 in cat years)

Have some goofy cuteness and don't worry so much about the crazy on the net. There's nothing you can do exept try not to get sucked up by it ^^


(sorry if I'd done any of these for A-Team, I'd post 'em in stead . . I should do some for the A-team come to think of it)

Don't try to wrap your head around the "why" of it Star, you'll cramp yer brain. ;-)

Only if it's to some place they sell tea.

Oh, you could do a few repeats - especially of the first one ;-)

Sorry, I didn't reply sooner.
Don't wrap your head around it. Your brain will short out! ;-)
Think of Dirk+scotch+cigars+TAT+TOSBSG+Dirkpics+Dirkarticles=extra special goofy cuteness! :-D

I might overdose on the goofy cuteness at that rate ;-)
