doar_calling_oldephebe_please_pick_up Death of a Rose If you're there oldephebe, I do believe I want to, in the immortal words of Dafremen (because I can't exfoiliate such unabstucted soliliquies as verbose and salubrious as you....hehe.....lol...you old thesaraus/dictionary hybrid.....ROFL .....okay...okay...deep breaths...) ask you a serious question, and I have posted the same question to Dafremen but he hasn't deigned to hear my plea, so I'm still holding patient #781234 while they are calling patient #243, would you publish something that I may trade you for (signed of course with, to an old man who blathered)? I'm not going to beg, but I might sign for awhile. 031026 ... oE ask away man 031026 ... magicforest Only I may call you doar. You may not call yourself doar. You are my doar. 031026 ... pipedream should we pronounce it 'door'? door doar roar *picks up telephone* hello, oldephebe's house. no, he's not in at the mo. phebes junior is, though, but he's outside making snowmen. can i take a message? o-kay *scribbles down message on notepad* thank you...yes, you can call back in half an hour, he should be back by then. *elvis voice* thank you, thankyew very much 031026 ... Death of a Rose Oh deer, a door, adore. Your doar. My (insert appropriate deity here), I've been possessed. I'm strangely comfortable with that. Thanks magicforest:-) And pipedream, can you give oldephebe another message, "I've already asked the question, but I will ask it again. Has he published anything and if so, would he be willing to trade me a signed copy for whatever he wishes? Thanks oldephebe junior, oh....and can I get Elvis's autograph as well....I could make a small fortune off of it. Anyways, thanks." Take care pipedream. 031027 ... pipedream *elvis voice* shore you can have one, buddy..here y'are...no, thank YEW very muh-ch *normal voice* okay, i got that down too, *sticks message to fridge on top of phebes jr's millions of drawings with a sparkly pumpkin magnet (halloween concession)* you take care too, sender of glorious flowers *hug* 031027 ... oldephebe dude - i thought you were being ironic or something..um..i have not published anything..not really..and man there's tons of my crap here anyway..and why would you want a signed copy? not really into the whole cult of personality thing..the things you write are AMAZING man..so man why vex over my incontinent, insular musings? I say shatter all vases to vanity and celebrate yourself!!! okay so that phrase is shrieking with dissonance but still..no need to worry man..and as daf so presciently catalogued my paradoxical obsession with "privacy" as if anything here is private but ..well..i'm flattered and yet perplexed because yur writing is so eloquent and passionate..why bother with collecting signed copeies of my crap? i'm still trying to assembled all the crap i have in hardcopy (not the extemporaneous scribble i've put here)into some kinda form to be published..i've gotten a few helpful suggestions from publisher's but it still amounted to a kind rejection letter..so i am still essentially unpublished..i'm toying with the form..but then i get bored and just stuff it all back into its folder in the file cabinent..pleonastic promenades of self-obsessive prattle..so i'm not holding my breath.. i do so enjoy your writing though..very inspiring..kind of like reading homer or ulysses on a real dark day..but still though my heart thrills at such desolation..don't know why yet..weirdness reigns..keep writing though man..you've got the real thing!! ... 031027 ... oldephebe pd - hope your feeling a little better..and man have you got a vivid imagination..that's all i'm sayin' :) 031027 ... Death of a Rose well, hmmmm.....I respect your humbleness and self flagellation, as you have already guessed, I am a dark soul when consumed with the same self imposed whips and chains (not to mention candles....BOOBIES....misstrees fault). I asked because I saw the same things in your ramblings that led me to want to have your vanity (well deserved) on one of my shelves, so that when you become a popular rambler (in those oh so chic exclusionary clubs, and I will snap my fingers at your jazziness) I can say with some amount of pride, that I have a signed copy. Oh well. And thank you for your flattery, it made me smile (okay...okay...pipedream and elvis gave me chuckles as well). Well, then I will continue to be stunned by you oldephebe. 031027 ... Death of a Rose aka not road oh...any receiver of roses....anytime you need some just let me know....and it will be done For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory......damn religion snuck up on me. Hugs back at ya pvcpillow 031027 ... oldephebe dude you write so powerfully, and so beautifully..yeah i see the sympathetic reverberations in our writing..but i am hardly worthy of being elevated over your exhilirating dark breaths..seriously..and yeah pd is well as she put it jiggar.. ... 031027 ... Death of a Rose aka not doar hummmphh....I'm going off to my room to pout...maybe throw a tantrum and see how far it goes..... 031027 ... pipedream all glowy eeee! i'm part of the male-bonding scene, im so thrilled to bits :D that, and the fact that 'phebes USED jiggar! *claps her hands in delight* okay, im getting giddy now so never mind me hahahaha wheeee and yes, i want a signed copy too, someday it'll be worth a lot of money...i'll swap you a signed copy when *i* ever get around to my damned book. deal? *thankyew, thankyew very much* *grins* the imagination's always been vivid :) 031027 ... pipedream *hums a tune and waits for everyone else to show up* 031028 ...

Death of a Rose ah...i bow to your smack knowledge. i will continue to search for secrets to bonking. :P 031117 ... pipedream I LOST A RING OF MINE!! *wails* 031130 ... Death of a r don't worry little one, we'll find your ring. now, retrace your steps in your mind. i know you couldn't have lost it in a drunken stupor or drug induced haze, so your mind can still backtrack... i'll help you look. 031201 ... pvc hopeful my brother says he thinks he's found it in the car, so after i check with him we can commence the back-track if he hasn't. *fingers crossed* i can't bear to lose my rings, even if its one i hate...me fings feel nekkid without me rings 031201 what's it to you? who go blather from
