I'm having a screaming night.

[DarkPhenyx]

One of those nights when I just want to stand naked in the teeth of a storm, screaming my rage and fustration into an empty sky, and to an uncaring God.........and I have no idea why.

*deep soft sigh*

[supernova]

1. You missed your chance

should have done that last night with the wind whipping around here. ;-)

Why are you upset?

[dolo amber]

3. Man, no kidding!

:wtf: was THAT about?!?

You guys come through it with all your trash cans? ;)

[DarkPhenyx]

6. We were smart here.

We didn't put the cans out. :)

[dolo amber]

10. We have the recycling

one for cans on the back porch...somehow, the can itself only fell off the porch, but the bag that had been inside it is probably in Wilmington by now. :D

[supernova]

26. Do you do recyling pickup?

I can never remember the day that's my day and wind up taking the stuff to Eubanks road myself.

Oh well, it's cathartic.

[dolo amber]

28. Nooo..

We do Eubanks too...I can't wait for the heat of summer, bet that place smells like a freakin' rose garden...x(

:D

[supernova]

8. Heh

It was nasty. It was almost like watching a hurricane out there.

My lights flickered several times but amazingly didn't go out. Whew!

What about you guys?

[DarkPhenyx]

12. Actually asked the roomie last night...

..."isn't it a bit early for "Hurricane Season"?

No worries, no flickers. We lost power at work, but it was back on by this morning.

[nclib]

72. We lost a tree.

Big old pine tree. I heard it crack and yelled upstairs "here it comes". Heard the thud and waited for the house to shake. But we were spared. The tree took out the neighbor's garage and clipped the corner of their house instead. Man, what a mess.

Glad to hear everyone else came through ok.

[DarkPhenyx]

7. Yeah, no kidding.

I have no clue what it's all about. Been doing attitude music and movies all night.

[supernova]

9. I'm PMSing

That's my excuse! ;-)

Right now, I'm pretty sure I'd feel sorry for the 10th Legion if they ever darkened my door. }(

[DarkPhenyx]

15. Darlin Please!

You know I have a better release for those hormones. ;-)

[supernova]

19. Yeah, Yeah,

all talk, no action... :P

[DarkPhenyx]

21. All offer...

...no help from your end. *chuckle*

[supernova]

37. LOL!

So, what you wanna meet for drinks sometime?

[DarkPhenyx]

41. Why waste time on drinks? n/t

[supernova]

45. Because I need to

waste the time getting to know a person, that's why. :D LOL! Sorry, it's more to do with my introversion than anything.

[DarkPhenyx]

48. Ahhhhhhh, got it.

But, but, but...we've already done drinks together.

[supernova]

67. We could do dinner?

I haven't seen you in months. You never come to Short Bus's and Dolo's bonfires. You even missed me with a... cigar.

[DarkPhenyx]

71. I never get invited to them, dear.

Nobody ever tells me when they are happening or where. Seems someone out there thinks I'm not fit to eat with pigs. *c* Or so I was told once upon a time. :)

[dolo amber]

73. Oh now

that's bollocks. I am fairly certain shortbus has invited you, at least once to my knowledge, in a PM. Plus, there was the thread that wouldn't die preceeding Mr. Pitt's visit. So put that in your pipe and smoke it, Mr. Man. :P

For future reference however, if you see mention of a bonfire here, you have a standing invite. ;)

[BlackVelvetElvis]

25. Wind was 50+ mph here last night.

I thought it was the rapture
;-)

[supernova]

34. Blackadder!

You have a Blackadder avatar!! LMAO! Cool! :D

It hit around 60 mph here according to Greg Fishel, the Prince weather anxiety. :D

[BlackVelvetElvis]

47. Love the Adder.

I live in NC. My lights flickered and I turned off the tv. I heard a sound like a distant train and got scared. I went outside and secured everything. My students said that they heard some tornados touched down. Welcome to spring.

[DarkPhenyx]

50. Adder is da Bomb!

Ever so much better than that freak Mr. Bean.

Anyone else who watches "Time Team" on History Channel notice that Bauldric is the host of the show?

[BlackVelvetElvis]

54. Love that guy. I'll have to check that out. n/t.

[DarkPhenyx]

56. He actually does a good job.

The show is entertaining and educational.

[supernova]

55. Man I miss not having cable!

:-(

Maybe my next job.

[MrSoundAndVision]

2. That rage is...

energy better spent elsewhere than into the deep sky. Join the revolution!

[DarkPhenyx]

4. Shit....

...the Revolution? I've been waiting for it for years. I keep being told I'm an idiot.

[LastKnight]

5. me too... been that way all day...

except the standing naked in the teeth of a storm... thats a little too passive for me, i pity the pour soul who uncaps my years bottled and surpressed anger.

-LK

[DarkPhenyx]

11. I let it out more often than that.

last time I split several cord of wood in a few hours. This, of course, was a good thing once the cold weather set in this year.

[supernova]

13. Sounds productive.

:thumbsup:

[DarkPhenyx]

16. Not to mention...

...hot sweaty, sexy, Phenyx. :evilgrin:

[supernova]

22. Hmmm.....

getting ideas....

[DarkPhenyx]

23. Ideas are good.

According to the 14th apostle "Long" Rufus good ideas are much better than faith.

[LastKnight]

17. na ill just save mine for the revolution... lol

im JOKING mr ashcroft, maybe lol...

stop following me...

-LK

[DarkPhenyx]

20. I also quit joking about that.

I've known for years that it is coming. Even before "too stupid to be President" got elected. I'm not worried though. I'm a sociopathic curmudgeon. We're sacrosanct when it comes to minor things like revolutions.

[Djinn]

14. me too

although I know my reasons: giving up smoking, my boss sucks and relationship stress, nice aggro trifecta.

My suggestion - go out a scream it wont hurt anyone and if there's anything around that you can break without it causing to much grief when you've calmed down (I can lend you an incompetant 50 year old woman that no-one will miss if you need!) that can help to

[DarkPhenyx]

18. When I break things...

...it tends to include firearms and explosives. No, I'm not really kidding.

Did some woodworking earlier though. It helped some. Productive, as opposed to destructive, is always good.

[supernova]

24. You remind me of

the good Dr Thompson.

When I break things...it tends to include firearms and explosives.

[DarkPhenyx]

27. Nice thing is...

...you've met me. You know it might well be true. :evilgrin:

[supernova]

31. True enough

LOL! You're a pistol, all right! :D

[DarkPhenyx]

33. Now, just think...

...how much fun a dangerous man can be. ;-)

[supernova]

38. Ummm.

and what makes you think I'm not a dangerous woman? ;-)

[DarkPhenyx]

44. Did I say you weren't?

I'm am working to defend your honor and all that rot though.

[supernova]

66. And you're doing

such a good job! :D

[Djinn]

30. I'm getting to that point!

I've always said it's a damn good thing that guns aren't to easy to get in Australia, I'd sooo be in jail by now I think! :evilgrin:

[DarkPhenyx]

32. Aussi?

That explains the "Vegemite" can for your avatar.

[Djinn]

35. yep

I don't actually eat the stuff - tastes like sump oil I reckon (my other half says it's because I'm an immigrant but I hate most "Scottish" food as well??) but I couldn't find a small enough piccie of a Djinn so went with the obvious

[supernova]

43. Wait a minute

You're an Aussie living in Scotland? Now there's a combo! :D

[Djinn]

61. other way around

a Scot living in Australia

[DarkPhenyx]

46. Never liked the stuff myself either.

Also don't like that German chocolate/hazelnut crap. My ex-wife loved it. Packe din several tins when we moved back from europe. She, happily, got all of it in the divorce. :)

[DarkPhenyx]

29. So anyway...

...waht is it about tongiht that it is having this effect?

I'd blame it on the storm, but that was last night, adn I usually get charged up as the storm is coming in, not as it's going out.

[supernova]

36. Is it a full moon?

Just wondering, I haven't checked, but it was awfully bright last night. If I had gone outside, wouldn't have needed a flashlight.

[DarkPhenyx]

39. Mihgt be.

I'll be honest I haven't looked either. THat would explain it. Particularly for me. I'm a Goddess child. Moon baby. An honest, blessed be, lunatic. :) Go me!

[VelmaD]

62. *looks outside*

Moon seems to be full here. Probably full there too I reckon. ;-)

[dolo amber]

40. It's almost, if not

full...and it was all big and yellow and harvest-moon-y earlier...maybe that's the source of the ants in your pants, DP. ;)

[DarkPhenyx]

49. That would do it.

At least now I have an answer to why, if not what to do with it. *grumble*

[VelmaD]

64. I have the answer...

unfortunately it's 2000 miles away. *is there an evil frowny pouty smiley?*

[Demonaut]

42. are you a "thing"

please dont absorb me.

[DarkPhenyx]

51. More of an it than a thing really.

Ever so kind of you to notice though. :)

[supernova]

52. Cousin It!

So nice to see you again! :hug:

[DarkPhenyx]

57. *rofl*

ok, no reply comes to mind.

[Demonaut]

53. you were refering to the book "The Thing"

made into a movie with Kurt Russell

[DarkPhenyx]

58. Caught your reference...

...but no, that wasn't where I was coming from. It's actually a pice from a poem I wrote many years ago before I had even seen that version of "The Thing". Maybe I'll need to post that poem one night. It has been a long time since we've had a good poetry thread. Not since the war started actually, best as I can recall.

[supernova]

59. Oh, rent the original!

with Howard Hawks!

[Ophelia]

60. I understand

I hate my life. My life is a miserable existence. All I do is take care of other people and work and wait to get out of the Hell of a marriage I'm in. No one in my life cares about my happiness or my feelings, nor did anyone ever. No man exists that won't ultimately use me in one way or another to feel better about himself (people can use someone emotionally too), then discard me and treat me like I don't even deserve to be their friend! My own mother hates me because she's crazy. My best friend of 16 years moved out of state and we hardly talk now. I fit in absolutely nowhere. I'm not depressed, but I'm very sad right now. I'm an attractive, intelligent, nice person, and I'm pretty positive most of the time believe it or not despite the fact I'm bitching presently. Because I inherently have some good qualities within myself, people think maybe I'm stronger than I sometimes feel inside myself. It's just very, very hard to see any light at the end of the tunnel that is my existence. I don't want to be a bitter person. I don't want to build another wall around myself. I don't want to escape my problems with some vice. I just want, for once in my life, to have some happiness, to not have my every dream crushed, and to have an ounce of pleasure.

[supernova]

63. You certainly have the right screne name

Welcome to DU, Ophelia! :hug:

Your life can change for the better if you want it to. I was once in a very dark place.

[Ophelia]

65. Oh, I want it to

I'm taking every step in order to do that. I can't change what's around me completely yet, so I changed myself for the better. Thanks for the welcome. I'm not new. This is just my name I bring out on occasion when I'm feeling blue sometimes and I don't want to post under my regular name. If I were new I wouldn't have some of the current emotional difficulties I have presently. Right now I wish I were.

[ewagner]

68. If this helps:

:hug:

[Ophelia]

69. Thanks

You're always a sweetie. :)

[ewagner]

70. aaaawwww...

:pals:

g'night all.

gotta soar with the eagles tomorrow so I can't hoot with the owls.
