Glad to hear shit is hopefully going well for you Cythraul, sounds like you deserve it.

My friend's dad died and she asked me to go to the funeral. I've never seen or smelled a cremation before. I hope this isn't too scarring an experience.

My uncle was cremated. We made a sort of memorial in the back yard; a ring of stones about 18 inches high and maybe six feet in diameter, which we filled with soil and put his ashes in, and then put in a bunch of his favorite flowers. It's quite beautiful, but every time I think "my uncle is buried in the back yard" it sounds fucked up.

If I owned property I would much rather be buried on it when I died than be one of a bazillion graves in a local cemetary.

Cythraul, I was in your situation once. You say that you want to see her as a friend, which was exactly mine case also. Even though meeting with her as friends were enjoyable, after a couple of meetings I started to miss the things we've done together when we were in a relationship. I'm sure it's pretty obvious that if you don't want to be attached to her in an emotional way you would have to stop contacting her, at least I think so. Beign friends, friends that often see each other isn't a good solution after a long relationship, it is rather toxic IMO.

The Children of Hurin. I picked it up at the airport Borders before I flew out to MDF and had zero time to really read it, but what I had read so far I really enjoy.

Indeed, that is a quality novel, besides the two or three incredibly dry description chapters.

Glad to hear you're doing better Cythraul.

Yeah well it's been changed, I am now going to the wake and not the funeral. Tonight. I'm really nervous and I don't own pearls (Japanese women wear pearls to funerals).

 

[Valerie]

I'm sure many of the men here would be glad to give you a pearl necklace.

It's always funnier to see comments like that come from another female member. I love this place.

At least you pull off the whole death metal vocalist thing pretty well.

 

[damnromulans]

You might be surprised by how much I wish I could pull off the whole goth thing sometimes. I could probably only get as close as "gothabilly" though.

me too man. even though "real" goths are often huge losers/total elitist jerks, I can't shake the rabid admiration I had for goths when I was like 12. I show my solidarity with ankh earrings and big boots whenever possible.

I see what you did there, dickweed!

I only have ONE zit on my ENTIRE body

 

[Cythraul]

Is that what they're calling herpes these days?

 

[damnromulans]

I'm gonna pop this zit all over your FACE

 

[waif]

It's okay, Laura. It hurts when I wear a bra too.

I got back today from my friend's wedding in Tampa. Fucking awesome week, lots of fun, got to see several people I haven't seen in a while. Copious amounts of alcohol consumed, lots of money spent. Success.

 

[damnromulans]

it's really weird when e-people call me by my real name

I hate packing. Trying to move all my books out of this office and everything at home in less than a two days. I need to really start culling my entire collection of...well, everything.
