LJ Idol - Week Twenty-Four: The Crash

Mar 09, 2009 15:06

This is my entry for Week Twenty-Four of The Real LJ Idol competition, where the topic is " Auguries." I'll post an update about voting later in the week. If you haven't already, you may want to join therealljidol, since some voting will be restricted to community members. Again, I really appreciate all the support so far!

( It must be good for somebody, this here song. )

Great entry. Yes, it's strange how when we dream things we can't understand, then suddenly things unfold right before our eyes.

Thanks. Dreams can be an interesting window into our subconscious, surely, if nothing else!

This was a really great read and I like how you interwove the dream into both circumstances.

Your moral, as always, is perfect and too true.

Thank you! Even walking my dog after posting that, I thought about new dimensions to the dream and how it could be read, either way. I'm glad to hear you say it's a "great read," too. That's a great compliment coming from you!

This was a wonderful entry as always.

Why, thank you!

The picture is awesome! I think that it really completed the story. I'm glad you got away from the idiot loser who was dragging you down.

Thank you! I've always loved that picture. I think it's one of the most beautiful taken of me when I was at my top weight. It also shows, I think, the sort of sadness I felt at the time. And yes, I'm very glad I got away from him, but I know now that he was partially a symptom of the sort of emotional sinkhole I was in at the time.

angelic_mystic March 10 2009, 17:27:41 UTC

Yeah he was. I've been there myself before. As for the pic, you are very beautiful, heavy or not.

alycewilson March 10 2009, 17:30:04 UTC

Thank you! At that time, I didn't think so, but it's always good to hear.

That Luster never deserved you, and I do hope that after he moved on, he realized how great you are. Interesting on how the dream you had was trying to advise you.

alycewilson March 10 2009, 19:23:10 UTC

Thanks; I know that now. At the time, I didn't think I deserved better. I find it interesting that you called him "The Luster," which may be a typo but works as well as "The Luser" (which I always thought neatly combines his characteristics as a loser, a user, and an Internet sleaze).
