He bled dirty red wine, and I drank gin as the miles grew thick between us

Every other day or so, I open a tab to livejournal and start trying to compose an entry; then I think, "Nah, no one wants to hear about that," and close it again. And in this manner, nothing ever gets written

If I was a more competent swimmer, that game would sound awesome. As it is, it sounds like a great way to learn about Newtonian physics. (Man, Newton was lucky it was just an apple. It could have been a watermelon to the face. Or a durian!)

I give you hugs! *HUUUUG* And I hope that life starts to turn toward the bright side again.

[thorne_scratch]

Hee, I've enjoyed past participation in it. This year, the watermelon survived with only minor damage, so we're having a rematch game on Thursday. Then, I imagine the lifeguards will eat it. or something.

A durian to the face would be terrible. I would not wish that on anyone. Except possibly my CEO.

*HUG* I miss you! I need to float an idea by you about visiting at some point. I'm looking for a date in August that might work. August is usualy my slow time.

[soranokumo]

Your CEO should have a truckload of durian to the face, hon.

And w00t! Feel free to ping me at any time, whether it be via IM or email, whichever you like.

Also, I'm going to be posting about some kimono stuff (with requisite kitteh pics) soon.

[thorne_scratch]

I wholeheartedly agree. (Dad finalized his settlement with them-- not what we wanted, but better than what was originally offered. So, that's a little better. But I still am worrying about my end of things.)

I definitely will. And I need to go vote in your kimono poll now, and squeal over kitteh pictures.

Logic is never as fun as a baseball bat. Or a greased watermelon to the face.

[thorne_scratch]

Goddamn straight. I like Fred just the way he is-- crazed and violent and utterly unpredictable. It adds spice to life.

I weep for all those half-written entries...

Actually, I can't quite wrap my head around the annual game of watermelon polo. The way I understand it, your whole family consists of lifeguards, swimming coaches and ex-swim team members, and despite the mental and physical trauma it causes, you just keep doing it year after year... Gosh, now that I think of it, doesn't that sound like the traditional Christmas sauna at my aunt Evas! Haha, heh, hum...
I can only wonder what anything called "the Raft Night" would entail making it worse than an all out battle in the water with a watermelon.

Looking forward to hearing what you've been up to. And also to whatever you have to say about Hetalia, though slightly less so. As in, my fascination is mingled with dread.

Happy belated Independence Day and hope your life'll let up a little.

I usually paste whatever I've written and not posted in a spare word file, so it's not like they disappear forever. I cannibalize bits of them for usage in later entries

[zenkatsuo]

Well, that's comforting

[thorne_scratch]

I just try to be funny most of the time. If I don't think I'm funny enough, I don't post it.

Clearly, you have not ridden down the right water slide yet. Ideally, it should be a good experience, not a drowning one.

Heh. Well, I just figured if it was a fandom you definitely didn't like, I would warn you ahead of time not to read the entry, since I don't like starting to read entries that are about topics I don't like or care about. Just didn't want to harsh anyone's squee or deliberately irritate.

Edit: I forgot-- email me your name, and I'll add you. I usually try to keep my facebook separate from lj, but I don't mind putting you on.
No, it doesn't creep me out! (Well, not much. Heh.) Mostly, they amuse me, because I know you are not really a creepy stalker. You're always very funny when you talk about it. And the fact you're actually going to Japan just makes it better.

Watermelon polo. And you grease the melon? Marvelous. *.*

[thorne_scratch]

We grease that thing up like... I had a simile involving prison sex here, but I fear it's in bad taste.

I miss you. I will be online later, stalking you.

[twigcollins]

Lies. Horrible lies.

*nom*

[thorne_scratch]

I'M ON NOW WHERE ARE YOU THE TWIG IS A LIE.

[sakuranochi]

It is always a good time for us too, we'd rather lose a war than need help from the french, so it is always good for a chuckle. (See, the third crusade).

Joking aside, you could blog about the most inane thing in the world and I would read it. Although that probably says more about me...

[thorne_scratch]

See, I should talk with YOU about Hetalia. Flidget was the one who got me into it, so i know you would understand.

Aww. You're such a sweetheart. (And I don't think I thanked you for the music email you sent me the other day. Thank you! I highly approve!)

[sakuranochi]

I have heard that it is seriously cracktastic. But yeah, France are the only people who would leave a HOLY WAR to go home and plot against other people. Bastards.

And it is cool dear, I figured your brain was being devoured by the mind flayer that is the real world.

[thorne_scratch]

It is SO cracktastic. I feel like I am doing something horribly wrong when I even look at it, let alone laugh.

Yeah, I'll give you all the details on that later. Been at my wit's end trying to cope with an ever growing mountain of shit.
