retiring...
Hi there
Just letting passers-by know that I'm retiring two of my pups - Walker Jerome (blouse_man) and Weps (peter_weps_ince) from the theatrical_muse community. Mostly this is a time thing - I have had both characters for over two years and am finding it harder to answer the challenges without going over old ground. I am keeping both journals though as both pups are actively involved ( Read more... ) -
Write about a time you mocked somebody
I kinda find that hard to do. I mean, I must've mocked someone at some time in my life but I'm damned if I can remember when and who. Who in hell am I to belittle other folk's lives? No... the person I mock the most - like pretty much every day - is me. Most of my life I've been different. More often than not at school I was the object of scorn an ( Read more... ) -
What is the greatest sacrifice you made for love?
I don't reckon it was a sacrifice at all, but it was sure for love. And I guess the gamekeeper thinks otherwise about the sacrificin' bit... But see, to me, sacrfice means givin' up somethin' that you really value for the sake of somethin' else that you value more. Well in my case, the second part of that is true - the gamekeeper's love is somethin ( Read more... ) -
an act of kindness
I remember when I was about 15, my Grandpa died. He'd been ill for a long time but I guess I didn't think he'd die as suddenly as he did. I'll never forget my Nan's face when she told us he was gone - it was like the lights in the world had all suddenly gone out and she was completely lost. My Nan was the kind of woman who did things for folk - ( Read more... ) -

Hey there Walker... don't you worry - in the future, you're gonna really like your name ( Read more... ) -
Picture prompt: A visit to Venice
I know that place - I've been there - one of many stops on a trip in Europe in an old bus with a couple of friends. Back then it was the kinda thing you did when you'd finished college an' had nowhere to go, no job to go to, no place to settle down - jus' driftin' along, I guess. We did England - well, the southern part anyway an' then got the ( Read more... ) -
Who do you need to forgive?
Who do I need to forgive? My brother - for bein' older and better lookin' and way cleverer than me. There's somethin' really unfair about havin' a smartass older brother, don't you think? I need to forgive him for bein' good at all the sports an' good at math and science. I need to forgive him for bein' popular an' always knowin' just what to say ( Read more... ) -
Have you ever experienced something you couldn't explain?
Yeah... lots of times - but they were mostly when I'd been smokin' somethin'... But jus' recently, somethin' happened that was really weird - an' I hadn't been smokin' or drinkin' anythin' at all...

What is your greatest strength?
Right now I don't reckon I've got any strengths at all, Walker thinks as he piles some leftovers into the cats' bowls and sets them down on the floor. Reckon it'd be easier to think of my weaknesses, then I might be able to see somethin' that I'm good at... He sits down at the table, ruminating like he always does when Mellors is away ( Read more... ) -
The first time I saw...
The first time I saw Hendrix on stage. It was 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee - a year before Woodstock - an' it was one of the most memorable musical experiences of my life. He had his sidemen Noel Redding an' Mitch Mitchell up there with him an' he played with so much energy and emotion, it just blew me away. What I loved about Jimi was that he could ( Read more... )
