    Bruun's Titting UP

    hey bruun, what about the belt joke? huh? huh? you must know how insecure i am... except when it comes to brenda. you, my dear, are just mad that you didn't get it. (you didn't have to be such a bitch about it, either.) i still laugh every time my five year old tells it to me, and not because i'm being nice. is, btw, i love that 7 8 9 joke, and i love that you do, too.

    bruun, how'd it go at your annual review?

    my kombucha is decidedly dead, a flippin flop. i guess i let it go on too long, waiting for the mother, and now its vinegar incarnation ferments in my compost tin. i'm sure it will be helpful there. fuck it. (am i the only one who curses anymore? will i get reprimanded for it? curse i must tonight, folks!) it just figures, though; i seem to be effing up all over the place. oh well, if things don't work out in this life, there's always the next. if i screw up enough this time, i'll get to come back as a human again to set them straight. (it's 'the tibetan book of living and dying', bruun. you had it right-enough.)

    don't mind me. i'm just terrified about my divorce is all, and i'm going to ugly places in my head. i'll leave it at that, don't want to hijack, but nor do i want to spew over on my lonely thread. that second sentence about my kombucha describes exactly how i feel about what has gone on in the more than two years since i left my ex. i'm just hoping that, in the end, the time squandered will do something useful besides just make more shit rot.

    bruun, thanks for yet another compliment. i think i make happy about little things (is that what you're talking about with the in-love reference?) because i am a bit of a simpleton at heart and i have such a limited social life, so a trip to the store is like flying through the air with the greatest of ease, bringing me giggles, shits, and grins.

    i don't believe in one true love, not at the rate we change as humans these days. i think that notion is
    from fairy tales. but i think you can use the term 'true love' about a second and third and fourth, and still be accurate. i do adore and believe in the possibility that as older people we can fall in with someone with whom to get even older and eventually die (happier, thanks to having intimately shared life). bruun, you'll encounter that certain someone. just keep living life, and try to get OUT daily. my sister once told me that it only takes a second
    to meet someone (and then your life can change tremendously), and i found that to be very comforting and encouraging.

    i think a good night's sleep will do me good. sorry to be such a downer. (oh, a happy thing is happening: the pric is driving out of the driveway, which means that i have 20 more minutes without him in the house, as he's gone to the store to fetch provisions with which to prepare his evening feast in my kitchen. fe fi fo fum.)

      Forgot to say, I saw the BNL ten years ago, somewhere in concert.

        Have not been able to find time to post - but I'm always reading.

        So, what time of day is the best time to go to the dentist?

          grommet, i think that's a joke, and if it's like my kind of jokes, the punch line is: when your tooth hurts!

              Roo! Yes, it is one of you're kind of jokes, and you got it!. (not to be a noodge, but according to my youngest it is technically when "you're tooth hurty") :H

                I've been thinking about getting a Kindle, but what's the point in buying a book if you can't put it on your bookshelf to let everyone know that you've read it? I have absolutely no intention of reading the last 900 pages of War and Peace, but I'll be damned if I'm throwing it out!

                  Bruun and Ru, I believe you can have one true love for life. I've seen people have it. But it isn't love in the sense of the initial feelings that 'love' starts on. Most people think the feelings they have in the beginning 'the high' of the other person is how it should remain. It never does. These feelings are just chemicals in our brain (endorphins) that cause us to feel infatuated and crazy about the other person. They eventually fade and hopefully you have in its wake trust, compassion, and the ability to grow together on life's journey. I think that's where the real problems come in. When one person is growing and the other isn't. Then you might need a second, third, or fourth love. Until you find the one who is with you until death do you part. I'm hoping to stop at the second! Which is why I've become so damn picky and avoidant. I'm in no place to be figuring that out right now. I'm not even sure that I believe in the 'traditional' relationship thing anymore. Anyway, I'm clearly learning, so keep this in mind. :H

                  I'm glad you find pleasure and love in the small things, Ru. It's a wonderful quality. I always try to remember and tell myself when I'm in a bad place, that this too shall pass. I know in your place right now, which is unbearable, that it's hard to think of. But I think you just may have said it on your thread at some point. I know you know it. I want you to remind me of this as well, when I get in my dark places, which we all know have been many!

                  SP, knowing you, I'll bet you don't want people to see all the books you're reading. The Kindle might come in handy in this regard.

                  I know there's much more here, but I have to be quick, I've gotta work out, and then off to the doc. I will have some busy weeks coming up which may make it hard to post. I know, always excuses, but the holidays and the next three days I work 12 hour shifts, as well as yesterday. It's getting hectic!

                  I just love this bonfire though! Bruun, how are you doing today?

                    Hey Roo, I totally "got" the belt joke, believe it or not. I'm not always completely clueless although usually I am. Was I being a bitch? Seriously, I wasn't meaning to be one. I hate it when my depressive thoughts/negative outlook bring someone down, I hope I didn't do that to you. Believe it or not, I really try not to post that stuff except for my updates for which I feel I need to let it all hang out.

                    And this is the saddest post I recall you writing, so I'm sorry if I treaded on you, I guess I don't know how insecure you are, I'm always just amazed at how postive and energetic you are. Brenda? Was she your Ne? I mean, was she your first friend here? Ne and I have a special bond because she reached out to me when no one else did/would respond to my posts with anything sincere or thoughtful or complete. This was many moons ago, almost a year. And she came out of the night and here we are today, a clan around the campfire, many of us doing so much better on the AL.

                    Review was fine, challenging as usual, I'm not going to make the money this year I made last but oh well, maybe that will make next year that much better.

                    My cousin committed suicide yesterday. And I'm reading the death & dying book, talking about volunteering for hospice right before and during it.

                    I'm going to catch up on the rest of the posts now - keep up the good work Ru, try that nasty tea again just to gross out the idiot pric.

                      My thoughts about the Kindle are that I'll pay much more for content than I pay for used books. I got the last three books for $5.00 or so, which would cost twice that on Amazon in Kindle edition despite the books being 10 years old. I guess I could always use it for just the new books... it is a tantalizing product. And I believe it can read the books to you out loud in the car, too. A friend has a basic kindle and it does that. THAT would be awesome.

                        I agree Red, I think you can have it all, one or many. I think the second or third or tenth time around, you're always a new person. I think you just need to want it enough, and you need to know yourself to see through the chemical haze.

                        I love that chemical haze though. It reminds me of the buzz Ne and Ru seem to have had with Bac, the energetic organizing and communicating and busting with life force that makes me think of my "in love" times. Oh, I'd love that again.

                        However, I'm still working out who I am right now and trying to fix the issues that keep me too insecure to open up to someone. The AL is primary there, and the fall-out from so many years on it, cave-dwelling.

                        Boy I wish I had done this ten years ago like you guys.

                        DG, hope your studies are going well!

                        Prayers for my cousin and his family please, good healing thoughts from anyone willing to spare, please send!

                          Fuck, Bruun, that's a helluva thing with your cousin. Sorry dudette. Were you close? Do you have any idea why he did it? He had family? Oh damn. My thoughts go out to them.

                                Hi Brenda,

                                He was estranged from his siblings and father, only in contact with wife and mother. In fact, since I moved here 8 years ago, he has lived across the country and never visited his relatives here. So no prayers due on my account, more for that family. They're really messed up. No one is in touch with the men (uncle/brothers) except I'm in touch with my uncle. He beat the sh*t out of the boys and screwed them up royally, I'm told. I think this will give pause to all of the siblings regarding grudge holding and the meaning of family relationships. A lesson to me, too. It feels like a warning shot over the bow of the ship, to appreciate each person regardless of your history with them, and to try to find peace.
