Well this was unexpected

And Ogre. *releases a black rose that dissolves into the air like a dove* This is a number that can only increase as we get older. But yeah, it hurts. And we continue with them in our hearts as @Rensaid.

Love you guys. Thank you for coming here and being so open. *hugs @Aliea tight* sorry you had to go through that honey, and a still going through the aftermath. Love you.

Ah, The General... he was really ahead of his time eh? Smoothies are so popular now. I had an email address for him but I don't think he uses it any more.

Also if you start a thread and ppl post in it you get rep. That's why I have so much despite not having posted a lot. Everytime one of you minions post in mah thread I get rep. It's like tax... and you are my vassals.

I hope there is interest but didn't want to assume. Do you want the distinction between formal and casual RP again? Do you all have time to do formal RPing? I guess we could make a general RP forum with a formal RP Sub-forum with rules pinned up. Feel like I need more details about what you want, but definitely we can do it.

I just stated a new topic, but it isn't showing up.

I see that, also new ppl have joined but the board is still saying Biggs is the newest so it is like the board front page isn't updating. We will look into it,., and when I say we I mean @Timberwolf maybe something to do with how the board is caching? lol, I am just using tech sounding words... I have no idea what that means -
*come in hair awry, blurry eyed* Good morning everyone. *makes a vast pot of coffee and pours a giant mug* *pops down in a chair and takes a cautious sip of the still too hot beverage * *grins* My word you guys have been busy.

I don't know about you, but I have missed this place. Maybe @Timberwolfand I are fools for doing this again, but it's for us this time... I mean we missed everyone, we missed having this place. Northlands the blog just didn't cut it. And I feel like I am older and wiser - I can do a better job of this... so I am hoping you give me a second chance. *sinks into her chair and waits for the others to arrive*

Sitting pretty Lily is Roso's sister. A friend of ours had taken care of a stray while she had kittens and we agreed to take one (or possibly two) and someone else would take the third. We had the first choice and I immediately chose Lily. Roso bewitched Dom into choosing her by doing this cute thing of pretending to gaze up at him adoringly. Guys dig that. The odd thing about cats is that you can persuade yourself all you like that they are your pets, but give the situation even a modicum of objective reflection and it is so obviously untrue it is embarrassing. Cats own you. Anyway, we'd had them for a few weeks when they traded owners for some private female feline reason. I became Roso's agent of evil and Dom became Princess Lily's adoring slave. Lily (like all women with taste) has a serious 'collector's' passion for wolves and so she naturally conquered Spike within days of sending us out to buy him. "Oh, are you two going shopping? Bring me a small male T'ing that will follow me around all day and look at me adoringly, even when I hit him. Hard. Repeatedly." And we did. Never underestimate a woman cat.

The Roso Givin' teh meen face I awoke this morning and slowly opened my eyes to find this face inches from my own. This face with these eyes. I read somewhere that, unlike dogs, cats don't have facial expressions. They are however able to communicate without words, and the effect is the same as our smile, or frown or (as in this case) psychotic gaze. The thoughts Roso was downloading into my sleeping cerebral cortex went something like: 'You will do great evil in my name. You will conquer the world and call it Roso. Oh. And. By the way, get rid of T'ing'. 'T'ing' is Roso and Lily's name for Spike. Don't ask how we know that.

Thursday, July 17, 2008 Tree planting For the world or karma? To celebrate Asalha Puja Day had a tree planting morning at Huay Tung Tao in Chiang Mai. A 'bit of a do' orgnaised by the local staff at work. I wasn't sure whether this was a merit making exercise or simply a chance to make the world a better place. Let's go with the latter, I can live with that. An aside: for all the spiritual journeying I don't get merit making. I understand the need to quieten karma... like stilling the ripples on a pond. But to buy fish or turtles in order to release them perplexes me. The small lives wouldn't be trapped if there wasn't a market in the merit of their release. It is like making people sick in order to cure them. Anyway we arrived to find sapplings leaning weakly in pre-dug holes. Which we lovingly (and then hastily as it began to rain) filled with chunks of gritty earth. I didn't feel much better for it so I hope the world is feeling a little greener.

Bird of Paradise A bit flashy, these flowers are the egomaniacs of our garden. Lurid orange creatures shouting "Look at us, we are beautiful!". And they are, but no one likes a show off. I miss the delicate unassuming flowers of England: snowdrops, crocuses, violets, london pride, forget me nots, snapdragons and bluebells. Flowers that know that mid-shin is plenty high enough, that there is secret power in making people bend over to admire you. But deep down I think you get what you deserve. I deserve these gaudy tropical idiots, outrageous bougainvillea, dizzying frangipani - I am too robust for delicate blossoms. In the other(imaginary / parallel) life, where I remained in England and was a spinster with a houseful of cats I almost certainly had a garden full of hollyhocks. Waist high and mad with colour.

White orchids I find it magical how flowers suddenly appear in my garden. One day I have a bunch of green and then suddenly there is a flower - brief and beautiful. Likewise I find Dom's utter indifference to flowers astonishing. How can someone so sensitive not be moved to find a small exquisite thing is sharing a moment of existence with us? How can you cry at films and be blind to the fragile emotion of a flower?
