"bloody shyte" seems to be all i say now. paper comes. "bloody shyte". stub my toe. "bloody shyte". drugs run out. "bloody shyte". discovering i've been neglecting you, one of my dearest friends...that deserves a very big "bloody shyte". ugh. i need melbatoast. 020113 ... sting oh_dear! *cries hysterically* i shall sing for you! i shall send you a very special cd! how would you like that, darling? 020113 ... sting eric, i've been ringing you all night. where have you been hiding? 020118 ... sting *sobs* i'm so_lonely, eric! 020122 ... sting eric, i fear you've forgotten me completely this time. 020205 ... la triste now, this is a pretty longwinded pointless saga if i ever heard one. ah, but how i do do love the stalker in sting. 020206 ... sting come back to me, eric, or i'll send trudie after you. 020217 ... eric clapton good god!!! *is slightly shaken out of a coke-induced stupor* 020218 ... good people i love pat sajack 020219 ... indie.chickadee the way he makes me feel...is so indescribable. when I had tears in my eyes and he looked at me with those sad sad eyes...even though I couldn't completely forget about my problems, I didn't care about them anymore. he let me know that at least *someone* loved me, and that means so much to me. I love you, Boy With No Name! (okay, he has a name, but I probably shouldn't say it here) 020508 ... sting another night finds me alone 020830 ... sting i can't believe eric would ignore me for this long. i am so_lonely and he doth not care at all. 020929 ... sting de do do do 021014 ... june he will never care and it is no longer anticipated that he will care so sad, but reality scars after it bites 040120 ... june why does he always want coffee in the desert, why not tea in the rainforest? 040120 ... eric clapton. i've often wondered about that myself. i suppose we all have our quirks. i mean, i used to have a thing for that neo geo system, but that was around for about fifteen seconds. i used to have soul. *starts singing* danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are falling... 040120 ... Bespeckled My love is not so desperate or passionate to state this as truth. But it is sweet, and it is true, and it is slow and loyal and absolutely real. It is a river, and you, my dear, are the end of the world. 041215 ... dipperwell har har har 051015 ... a thimble in time and the beat of your heart is the rhythm of my soul 051020 ... a thimble in time and the beat of your heart is the rhythm of my soul 051020 ... SleepieCloud goddamn you. 080705 ... eric clapton do you ever visit the sahara and think of me, old friend? i sometimes find myself driving there without even noticing what i'm doing, filling an empty teacup with sand, hoping someday i might find you there. i'm sorry to have made you feel like i didn't care. it wasn't intentional. i've always been something of a vagabond. i'm going to throw "dream of the blue turtles" on the turntable and remember the good times. i hope you're well. 121212 ... sting of remorse Oh I know i don't belong in heaven either big man. Thank you so much. F/F 121213 what's it to you? who go blather from
