Thanx for Dave to answering my question and rock on.

RE: My Xtian comment in "what would god say". I am a big fan of Bill Hicks, and I tend to have very similar beliefs to his. I believe that if there is a god, he is power and love and compassion, not petty control and spiteful bitterness.

I was VERY VERY specific in my phrasing there Lisa, I said "those 'Christians'..." Christians, as noted by oofty, in QUOTES because (to me) Christian (Christ-like) behavior to me is not hateful, is not spiteful and does not leave someone mentally fucked for a large portion of their young adult life. I used the word THOSE designating a very specific group of individuals. Not a belief system, not a religon, not even a church. A set number of actual people.

We become adults (IMNECTHO) by overcoming the damage and painful experiences of our youth. Of figuring out how to learn from those and process them. So, I'm not saying this like 'oh, I had a really hard childhood.'

But, I was emotionally, mentally and physically abused by a group of people in positions of power at a church when I was growing up, who espoused that they were Christians. Meanwhile, locking me in a cleaning closet 3 feet wide to "Get the devil out of me" because I had asked the question "I thought god was perfect?" when in bible study, they read the scripture "you shall have no other gods before me, for I am a jealous god." Because to me, even at age 9, jealousy seemed like a human flaw.

That was a minor incident by comparison, and that went on until I was 15.

So, am I bashing Christians, or your faith? No. Not at all, I believe honestly that we should all have our own personal spiritual relationship that makes us whole. I was honestly putting myself in that position and thinking if I'm there with god, would he say 'yeah these fuckers were hypocrites and should never have claimed they spoke for me, because they were evil evil people.'

So, sorry if you took it the wrong way, like I said I was very very particular about which words I used and how I used them for a reason :)

Well done sweetie.
That would be a great read.

Seen that new link... SUICIDE GIRLS... the girls aren't the most average girls you'll meet... Couple of them got MY attention. It's too bad to live here in Europe. I wish I could go to visit my aunt, who lives in LA. (who is 75 years old... my god)... but if you think it Dave is halfway through. Even though he doesn't look old... if I wouldn't now I would guess probably 31-33...
What do you think fellow mates???

bye

Posted by: Timothy at November 11, 2004 10:19 AM


Rantz~I am sorry that happened to you. I went to a very strict boarding school when I was 10 so I can relate.

But I never ever said I was a Christian.

The joke sounded as if you meant all Christians, and I have also met some very good people who are devout Christians.

I would have made a similar comment, if you had put "Jews", or "Moslems", or "Church of Satanists" in there; because I took it to mean all Christians.

Peace

Well, the keyboard stuck and my post was blank. My family is spread out all over the Eastern US, so we celebrate some holidays more than once (ie Christmas will be celebrated at Thanksgiving, Christmas Day and another date to yet be determined). So my son has been pushed by what to ask Santa for. We have his list - Shrek 2 DVD, a new disney DVD, and a Spongebob Squarepants bed set. Not too hard to get. His letter is written and ready for mailing. The sweet little guy says, "So mommy, what do you want Santa to bring you for Christmas?"

Here is my letter:

Dear Santa,

I have been good all year and all I have is one Christmas wish. Please let me find Dave Navarro giftwrapped under the tree. I promise to take very good care of him and won't play rough - don't want to break my gift on the first day. If there is any assembly required, I am good at putting things together and can supply any and all accessories as needed.

Please give me this one, true gift.

Sincerely,
me

(are my horns showing?

HEY!!! Angel, you looked at my paper. Cause that is what I asked santa for too. I usually don;t do this but...I will share. I guess that is why they call it the season of sharing. I am being a smart*ss as if you could not tell.

Love ya,CC

Hey Dave...everyone! I really don't have anything of substance to say today, but I just wanted to pop in and say hello. I had my Grandma's funeral yesterday, so I haven't been here in awhile. Amazing how you can have withdrawls from a website huh? :)

Hope everyone is having a good day!

blizard--sorry, I missed you, I was on the phone trying to get my book back...grrr..

Timothy----yes, I am the original attention ho', thanks for the kind words. I want to go to Finland!!!

Kyle--you do realize I am the oldest one on the boards here, right, and I don't think I'M half done, maybe half witted, or half assed or half baked, just not half done

I totally love stirring up the board!It's a blessing it's a curse

Rantz--I love you, I went to Catholic school for 12 years, now do you know why I am a jezebel? They used to tie my hand behind my back to force me to write right handed, and once a nun slapped my face so hard I fell to the ground because I walked in front of her NUNSIN!! But guess what? I don't hate the message, just don't dig some of the messengers, ya know...I still love God and surprisingly, he still loves me, right Blanca?

I love reading everybody's answers!! We are more alike than different, verdad?

Hey, my assignment for my class tonight is to build a web page, don't worry Aimee, I am not in state of panic, lol

"The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it, you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question, is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "Hey - don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride..." And we... kill those people.
"We have a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up. Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account and my family. This just has to be real." Just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok. But it doesn't matter because: It's just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money. A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money that we spend on weapons and defences each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace. Thank you very much, you've been great."

Hey, I almost forgot, My little Nightbird, this one is for you. Well, not just for you, but I know you'll be laughing!!

THOUGHTS FOR THOSE WHO TAKE LIFE TOO SERIOUSLY:

Save the whales. Collect the whole set.

A day without sunshine is like, night.

On the other hand, you have different fingers.

I just got lost in thought. It was unfamiliar territory.

42.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name.

I feel like I'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe.

Honk if you love peace and quiet.

Remember, half the people you know are below average.

He who laughs last, thinks slowest.

Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.

The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

I drive way too fast to worry about cholesterol.

Support bacteria. They're the only culture some people have.

Monday is an awful way to spend 1/7 of your life.

A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

Change is inevitable, except from vending machines.

Get a new car for your spouse. It'll be a great trade!

Plan to be spontaneous tomorrow.

Always try to be modest, and be proud of it!

If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments.

OK, so what's the speed of dark?

How do you tell when you're out of invisible ink?

If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked
something.

When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.

Everyone has a photographic memory; Some just don't have film.

If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?

Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

What happens if you get scared half to death twice?

I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.

I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder.

Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?

AND THE ONE I RELATE TO THE MOST THESE DAYS--- Inside every older person is a
younger person wondering "What the hell happened"?

jezebel(what the hell happened?)

Posted by: jezebel at November 11, 2004 11:03 AM


Hey Rantz,

Sorry to hear about what happened to you when you were younger. (Jezzi too.) In a way, you brought back memories of myself when I was younger. I grew up Catholic, going to religion class once a week throughout the school years. Although the folks at my church weren't nearly as fanatical as some others, they did try to teach us the basics of the Bible, etc.

Somehow, I was always the one playing the devil's advocate, so to speak, shooting holes into what they were teaching. Thing is, I wasn't trying to be an obnoxious pain in the butt. I was just young, innocent and curious, and truly wanted to understand how it worked. And, as you know, there's a LOT of grey area in the teachings of the Bible and the church.

Hence, I asked a LOT of questions. Most of them would leave the teachers completely stumped, going, "Umm... umm...," struggling to explain. I'm sure I drove them crazy. LOL

Once again, though, most of them were pretty cool. They respected the fact that I was at least thinking; using my mind. Nobody called me a heretic or beat me up or anything... though they may have wanted to!

At this point, I think most of us share a similar mindset when it comes to spirituality. I really feel that it should be about one's personal relationship with a higher power, rather than some kind of group brainwashing effort. Even if one does choose to be part of a church, because of the sense of community, structure, etc., it should all be taken with a grain of salt.

Just my 2 cents for the day.

-Denise

Hey Dave and peeps!

Today's artwork is just brilliant! Go Itanja! So does this mean us lovely New Yorker's will be getting a TPC show under our Xmas trees in December? ;) *Crosses fingers*

Dave, when you fly to outer space in a few years, what song would you like to play up there? That is, if you bring your guitar with you.

Oh for all wondering, I'll be putting up the 6767 photos with Dave from NYC and elsewhere on Sunday. So, if anyone has a photo with themselves and Dave, e-mail it to me and I'll put it up.

Have a good day everyone! :)

i have nothing else to say, and i can't think of a question to ask dave lol...except...what are your plans for x-mas this year?

-love, emily

Posted by: blondimofo at November 11, 2004 11:34 AM


Denise, Jezz, Lisa,

What I went through made me what I am today, and a lot more tolerant of people's individual beliefs and also understanding that painting any group with a wide brush is going to be innaccurate at best. Seriously, didn't bring it up as a "cue the violins' thing at ALL. Everything happens for a reason, and I went through what I had to and was supposed to. Just brought it up to explain that there were very specific people I was referring to. That's all :)

Ok, next subject...

Bauhaus or Joy Division?

Bauhaus, hands down. More talent and influence in that band and the people that composed that band than Joy Division (IMNECTHO). Brilliant fucking band, hearing them for the first time totally changed how I looked at rock. Glad I got to see them at one of the LA shows on the ressurection tour.


Dave, here's one for your running Q & A list. What was the most influential concert you've ever seen. The one that just blew you away and made you rethink everything? Or, is there even one? Always curious for those epiphany moments.

Posted by: Rantz at November 11, 2004 11:40 AM


Rantz... gotcha.

I still thing that what they did to you is effed-up. But I know darn well that there are a lot of effed-up people out there. If you can learn from experiences and become a better person because of it (which you clearly did), that's all that matters.

Posted by: Denise at November 11, 2004 11:44 AM


Rantz-To answer your question. I have seen alot of shows, and I have to say see Jane's during the Relaps tour. That was the first time I saw them. When they came out, I understood why I love them so much.

Great Artwork!

Posted by: Mike from NYC at November 11, 2004 12:14 PM


Rantz... To be totally cliché, what does not kill us, makes us stronger. And well, that makes you like Popeye on spinach.

itanja... From what I am understanding here, you did today's artwork? Hell yeeeah, my graphic designer friend, rockin' stuff!

So today, my best friend of 17 years informed me that she no longer needs me in her life. I was sick, and could not make it to her 30th birthday party (I called her on her actual birthday), so I sent her an invite to take her out to dinner to make up for my absence. Two weeks later, she declines the invite telling me that she has no room for people who make excuses. This is from the girl who refused to speak to another friend a few years ago because she didn't call her on her birthday, but THE DAY AFTER. I smell a pattern here. Actually, the pattern was well in place when she was 12, when she would invite me over to her house, and then when we got off the bus, would get mad at me for no reason and tell me I had to walk home (she lived a good 2 miles from me). She likes people to grovel for her friendship, and I'm just too old for this. I've loved her like a sister, but I can't deal with her rigidity and inability to forgive anymore. All she had to do was tell me about her disappointment, and we could have talked about it. (PS I turned 30 in January, and I don't recall a party... not even a phonecall from her. I didn't dump her then.) I have to admit, I'm pretty sad, but I guess people come and go in life.

"He who laughs last, thinks slowest." Oh, now I get it... :-)

Posted by: NightBird at November 11, 2004 12:33 PM


Wow, me Mum made it through the operation. Now, they have to test the biopsy in order to determine wtf is in her lungs. God Bless all you wonderful people that prayed for a stranger (me) and me Mum and for everyone that sent out positive vibes. This is the internet at it's best, mass prayer for those that need it. Again, Thank You all, specially Jezebel. Lori, sorry for your loss, God called her and she answered. I asked for God not to call Mom just yet today, and he heard me. And btw, I'm a male, just to let yall know, last time I looked. However, I can't stop staring at that pic of Dave in the bed-j/k. Peace and Love to you all.

Posted by: Lyn at November 11, 2004 12:50 PM


Nightbird,

Too bad that your "friend" would do that to you. I guess she wasn't worth it. I have a somewhat similar story.

My friend, Phil, got married on Oct 3rd. Since then he has not called any of his friends, me included. I was one of his best men at the wedding. I have not received a thank you or a gift from him. In fact, the entire bridal party did not receive gifts. We all asked for shot glasses. Phil promised that we would all get one, but so far no glasses. We all have known him for over 10 years, but he has definitely changed since he got engaged to Julie, a.k.a. "Bridezilla". Phil used to be fun to be around. Now he is like a 90 year old man. He never goes out, he thinks that he is better than all of us because he was getting married.

We, his friends, all feel that Julie is trying to keep Phil all to herself. So far she has done a great job in doing so. We all hope our friendship with Phil will not end. He needs to call us to show that he still remembers us.

Later,
Mike from NYC

Posted by: B at November 11, 2004 01:04 PM


Mike from NYC... I think that happens a lot, unfortunately. But don't blame her totally. Your friend has a will of his own, and if he wants to, he will stand up for himself. It blows when a friend becomes involved with someone who doesn't click with the rest of the friends. I'm sure he misses you but is in honeymoonland right now. I lost two friends a few years ago after a wedding, because of a petty misunderstanding. Weddings are evil. They do bad things to friendships. Too much pressure for it all to be perfect. I'm sure even Carmen and Dave had glitches that seemed so much bigger than they really were because it was a "Wedding." Bottom line: unless your friend sleeps with your fiancee, don't let yourself get hooked into the wedding fiasco trap that swallows lifelong friendships whole. I've seen it happen to too many people. It must be stopped!

So that makes 3 in 3 years. Hey, who wants to be my friend? I've got a great track record.

Posted by: Neil at November 11, 2004 01:12 PM


Damn, How could they sell such a priceless thing. If I waited to meet him, I would NEVER sell my book.


Nighbird-I can relate,just earlier this year my best friend. We got into a fight over something REALLY dumb. I was willing to look beyond it but no her. She was bring up things that had nothing to do with the fight. She had the nerve to say I was not a good friend to her. WEll, I got fed up and put her in her place. I told her that I was willin to let it pass and forget about it. She did not. I have not talked to her since may. It really hurt me cause I thought we were really tight. I cried for 3 days. But, things happen for a reason. If it was meant to be, you guys will talk again. Take care sweetie, I know it hurts. We are here for you.

Much love and hugs, CC

B - that first one isn't so bad. $30 is right around what someone could pay the store to send them a signed copy (plus shipping). plus, at Sam Goody, they had a two book limit. so you could buy one for yourself and sell the other one. it's not like people could make tons of money doing it. but that second one - $70!?!?!?! give me a break. that's just sad.

"We, his friends, all feel that Julie is trying to keep Phil all to herself. So far she has done a great job in doing so."

Hey, Mike.... they both suck! Aw, come on.... she makes you MAD! She stole your friend. Admit it, brotha, and end this madness! (I'm kidding with you. You SHOULD be mad at him. And on top of the fact that he hasn't called, Miss Manners would smack them on the wrists for not giving gifts to the wedding party or sending thank-yous.) Anyway, your sympathy is totally appreciated.

Crecencia.... You're just precious... a total doll. Thanks for sympathizing and commiserating with me.

I love this community, Dave. (And I'm hard to please.)

and i think i've found the perfect mascara! how great is that! water-proof, not on animals tested, makes the eyelashes longer, curles them, isn't too expensive, it's the right colour...kick ass how simple things can make a person happy!

Hey Mike in NYC, I wanted to tell you...I hate girls that do that to there men. They give cool girls like me a bad name.I mean she must be a REAL B*tch. Sorry for your friendship loss too. But, he will come to realize that you are important to him and he will resent her for taking him away.

I hate lame chicks.

oh , never mind,culculun,you got me beat, we are all so competive... I'm oldest no I am!!!!heeheehee

Adina, sorry, but, you know that you don't deserve that kind of treatment, on the other hand, she might be doing that whole transference vibe, you know, someone disappointed her, and she is taking it out on you, what are friends for...don't take it personally, and don't own it!!! Besides, you got me, I am fiercely loyal Scorpio friend!!

Weddings, schmeddings, I totally agree with the opinion that when two people get married, for the first couple years, they really are in their own cocoon, I know I would be, c'mon peeps, and weddings themselves are just FRAUGHT with tension....don't let a shot glass, or the fact that your friend can't come out to play ruin the friendship...

What else, hey, working on someone else's computer right now, I really need to update my Commodore, but, laptops are too weird for me, need to hear the buttons clicking


What have I told you about ebay, people, and Sarah, you made me laugh when I read that you wouldn't want to be an elementary school teacher, ME NEITHER.ROFL

Lyn---Great news about your mom, yes, that whenever two or more thing really is something isn't it? I thought you were a guy, but I wasn't sure, can I still call you hon?

Emma, when you come to visit me, we will set aside one night, and we will make paper lanterns and go door to door singing songs, trust me, they'll love it, but I don't know if they'll give us CANDY!!!

Oh, yes, and Catholic High School class of '78....shock horror...she is OLD!!!

Dave,

In your book Angelyne mentions that the number 22 is the luckiest number and anything that happens on/with a 22 is very special.

Did you take that into consideration when planning your wedding for the 22nd of November or was it just a coincidence?

Glad to hear Lyn's mom is doing well. Thanks to everyone who sent good vibes to my mom!

Thank's to the 6767 people who enjoyed today's artwork, I actually did it a while ago, I was having trouble converting it to a jpeg file, it kept losing all the quotation marks when I converted it. Well, I sent it in anyway. Guess I'll have to learn to be more of a technical person when it comes to doing art on the computer! There's definitely some type problem going on. lol

Happy Birthday Dozzo~!

Hi Fam...another "geezer" checking in! For those of you who think there is no one here as old/older than you...think again!

Dave...what one thing are you most thankful for this Holiday Season?

Itanja...awesome art...you are very talented.

Lyn-I'm so happy your Mum came through...you are both still in my prayers.

Nightbird ((((big hug))))

Dozzo....HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Jezzi...Hi! I love you ;)

Cheers, Nightbird. I'm really not a righty, to be honest. I just believe strongly that the war against terrorism is something that the entire civilized world should take on. For the record, I'm not pro-Bush either, but like I just said...

Anyway, pleased to meet you. :)

hey cody

i use the jimi hendrix cry-baby which is cool, but your best bet is to go into a store, line them up and try them. buy the one you think sounds best.
added bonus of this is you can play through any amp, with any guitar you want!;)

happy birthday dozzo!

ok, we've had favourite words, how about favourite phrases?

mine? - keep on truckin'!

Posted by: jezebel at November 11, 2004 06:49 PM


Hi Mike,

The friendship scenario you've described is, unfortunately, nothing new. In many instances, these 'friends' use their marriage as an excuse to not see their old friends as often (or not at all), most times their partner is not to blame.

An old friend, (we worked together for over 10 years & have known each other for about 16 years) suddenly blew me off about 3 years ago. We used to go shopping in the Village after work (usually one Friday a month) & go to concerts together. She also helped my dad & I move some items into my co-op.

She's been married for about 8 years, it's not her husband who stops her from seeing her friends. He's a pretty cool guy, he's a jazz drummer & a very sweet easy going person. He realizes she has different musical tastes than he does, so she'd always go with me to see The Cure, Jane's etc.

Out of the blue, after no correspondence (NO Xmas cards, Birthday cards, nothing. I sent her cards every year) or calls for almost 3 years, she writes to inform me she just had a baby! Perhaps if she kept in touch, I would have known she even wanted one?

I am baffled when so called 'friends' just stop being friends, especially the spineless ones who suddenly stop any communication. They are actually worse than the ones who give you an excuse, because they can't deal with giving you a reason why they are ending the friendship. Sure, some friendships just run their course. Though most of the time, when longtime friends do this, you always think it's something you've done or you just keep wondering 'why'.

As for the 'friend' who just gave birth, there was no reason I could think of for her to suddenly blow me off. We didn't have a fight. I never commented on her marriage (since she has a good one there was no need to, besides it's not my business, I don't offer people relationship advice unless they ask for it), I don't owe her money (I NEVER borrow money from anyone or expect others to pay my way, so that wouldn't be an issue) & well...there is no reason.

How did I deal with her baby news email? I just ignored it. I guess I should have been a 'better person' & congratulated her, but I didn't because what she did to me was very hurtful. Funny how she added that; "I was so busy having the baby I couldn't write"...how super lame is that...that excuse 'explained' the past 9 months, well, not really. She also added she had worked up until the week she gave birth, she didn't sound as if she had any severe complications which would have kept her from emailing or calling! So what was her excuse for the rest of the 3 years?

Some people are incredibly self absorbed, when they take on more responsibilties in their lives, they simply can't cope, friends start dropping like flies. Amplified by trying to start a new life with a person they've never lived with before & trying to make that work. Many can't admit that it's harder than they expected it to be.

Another childhood friend got her marriage annulled after 3 weeks because she didn't like the fact that her husband was "very sloppy & left his clothes on the floor"! They hadn't lived together before marrying, neither knew each others bad habits. I'd reckon to guess she had many more bad habits than he did! In my opinion, leaving clothes on the floor is no reason to divorce, face it... some people aren't meant to be married or to live with someone! Btw, this woman is now with her 4th husband! lol

Others simply use their marriage as an excuse to not see teir friends, they think their spouse can be everything to them...best friend, lover & provider. Which isn't always the case, they've usually lost all their friends by the time they find out it's not true.

Ironically, YOU are the first person they call when their marriage breaks up or when they find out their spouse is cheating!

take care,
itanja

Posted by: Cori at November 11, 2004 07:29 PM


on the topic of the friend thing...i know how that feels...as you all know, last month my grandma died on my birthday...what i didn't tell you was that my best friend of 15 years had also picked that day (she knew it was my birthday and she knew my grandma had died) to stop talking to me completely...she had been kinda grumpy for a while...but she's usually moody so i just took it for face value...but on that day she blocked me from IM and never spoke to me again...i have no clue why...so i'm just documenting that day as a pretty shitty day in my life...but looking back...in the long run..it's good that we're no longer friends, if someone can be that cold...she never told me if i did anything...just stopped talking to me completely with no reason...i'll live lol

i think those people on e-bay are sad...i treasure my copy of DTTAH with dave's signature (and my name!lol)...i seriously keep it wrapped in tissue paper lol...i cherish that thing man...great book too...i think that triples its value...that it's actually a great book.

i think that's all i have to say for now lol...plus...i love itanja's posts...they're always a great read...and, once again...the artwork is awesome itanja!

Posted by: wendybird at November 11, 2004 07:47 PM


aah so much to catch to up on...

The religious discussion on here brings to mind the lyrics:
"I was not created in the likeness of a fraud
your hell is something scary I prefer a loving god
We are not the center of this funny universe
and what is something worse I do not serve in fear
of such a curse.......
To anyone who's listening you're not born into sin.
The guilt they try to give you puke it in the nearest bin..."

one of the best fricken songs on one of my favorite albums. Brilliant.

TOTAL hats of to who did today's artwork (Itanja I believe I read did it?).. love the idea!

So many great banner submissions.. i have to say i LOVE this one: http://www.6767.com/pages/banner8copy_jpg.htm

I think I'll be making some more art myself as I had some brainstorms since the banners.

Happy birthday Dozzo!! Mine is tomorrow and I'm looking forward to some chocolate cake!

Jezebel you are such a doll, looking out for everyone. Bless you woman!!

I am in awe and humble admiration of the intelligence and creativity that the members of this community possess.

Happy birthday to Dozzo!

Happy birthday to Mortisha!

I love that Denise used "Oy Vey."

Thanks for all of your thoughts/support on friendship. This is actually not the first time she has attempted to get me to bend over backwards apologizing. As itanja said, some friendships just run their course. And honestly, 17 years is a long lifetime for a friendship. We met when I was 13 and she was 12, and neither one of us is the same person now. A few years ago, she ran off to San Fran with some guy she'd just met. I planned a trip to visit her and her new beau. Just days before I was to go, she called me crying, telling me all of these stories about how he told her she was fat and was trying to restrict her diet (she's always been teeny), how he would control her behavior in public, how he would flirt with and kiss other women in front of her... he sounded like a bastard, and I'd never even met the guy, which had concerned me when she announced she was moving across the country after just three months for him. He had wooed her family with stories of wealth and ambition (they're Connecticut old money), but when I got to California, I found two people living in a tiny studio apartment who claimed they couldn't go out because they had no money (he had convinced her that she could not spend her money, which she had plenty of, on herself). My beautiful, intelligent, ambitious friend was sitting in her kitchen placing stickers on garden hoes while her "busy" boyfriend had to go out to play golf. He had convinced her to invest her money in his little garden tools racket, and she seemed to really believe that it was now her destiny to do his menial crap work. I remember vividly, him sitting at his computer, and out of nowhere demanded, "(Name withheld)! Water! Lemon!" And she compliantly fetched it. A day later, the debate opened up about whether she needed to lose weight, during which he felt the need to express his displeasure with my size as well (I was a 6 at the time). I lost it, and checked into a hotel the next day, all the while trying to talk her into coming with me. She drove me to the train, hugged me goodbye, and refused to speak to me for almost a year. She returned to NY after he started hitting her... but she never quite admitted to me that I was right about him, which I was. Instead, she actually tried to make me feel guilty and told me I had behaved badly. She said things that almost made it seem like I was lucky for her to be talking to me again. She almost married the guy, and he was going to haul her off to Iraq (he was half Israel-half Iraqi, if that isn't a walking contradiction). To this day, I don't know if she honestly appreciates how scared I was for her. Now I guess it doesn't matter. I can move on with my friends who appreciate my gestures of caring...

Hey Nightbird (Wendy, right?),

Before I shut down for the night (I was trying to scan/delete spyware for the past few hours), I just want to say that I empathize with you about the friend situation.

Like you, itanja, blondi, and many others, I have had MANY flaky, moody, fickle "friends" throughout my life. (A few are still lingering around.) It is really hard to deal with people like that, people you have to tiptoe around as if on eggshells. The same people who, at the drop of a hat, get mad at you or suddenly stop associating with you. It sucks and it hurts... But as Mom used to say, those people were never really your friends to begin with.

Everything happens for a reason, and everything works out for the best. You really don't need high-maintenance friends like that in your life. I can only speak for myself, but the older I get, the less patience and time I have for people like that.

Take care and be strong!

-Denise

Posted by: Denise at November 11, 2004 11:41 PM


1.What is your favorite word(s)? Good Morning
2.What is your least favorite word? nigger
3.What turns you on? that warm, funky smell from someone next to you in bed after waking up.
4.What turns you off? clingy people.
5.What sound and noise do you love? feedback and punnani, baby!
6.What sound or noise do you hate? Have you ever heard when someone has mourned over another, so badly that when they scream...it's like their souls coming out? It still haunts me
7.What is your favorite curse word? C*cksucking, motherf*cking, no b*ll b*tch! There's a certain beat to it!
8.What professions other than your own would you like to attempt? Theology...but that doesn't pay the bills

9.What profession would you not like to do? drug dealer

10.If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the gates? either come in or stay out...just shut the door!

Hey Dave, did Eric come to the wedding?

Posted by: Christopolis at November 12, 2004 04:23 AM


Denise... thanks. I guess I have known for a long time that she was never really my friend. That's just extremely hard to face after 17 years. She's become a mainstay, even if she was a high-maintenance mainstay. I've put a lot of energy into her, and it feels almost like I've come out with nothing but some fun memories. Which are fine... But I've been so great to her, sometimes like a sister, sometimes even like a mother. It just wasn't enough for her. Oh well...

PS Everyone keeps getting me and Wendy confused. (Wendy, you gorgeous girl, you... did you know we were twins?) Wendybird, an adorable reference to the story of Peter Pan, is West Coast Wendy. My alias NightBird comes from my adoration for Stevie Nicks, but my name is not Wendy, nor is it Night... it's Adina. Which I'm sure is a pain in the ass to remember because it's unusual. People are always calling me Adrian or Anita or Andrea, but I've never gotten Wendy before. I do like the name Wendy, but I'll stick with my birth name. :-)
