I stopped at another small bookstore in town today when I went to work and they did not have the book either.........So once I got to work I called "Barnes and Noble" and they put a copy aside for me to pick up on Monday when I am off from work....As fate would have it the bookstore is near a wonderful fabric store where I can pick up supplies for my new project.........My first date will be going to the bookstore first......picking up our book and the new "Harry Potter" book as well ( my inner child requires this reading :) ) and then off to the fabric store.........to take explore some possibilities and materials needed........Really looking forward to doing this! God Bless, Rus
Rus,
That sounds wonderful. When I attempted to put Harry Potter on hold (I've read all of them), I think I was 800 something on the waiting list... Given that I'm in a roomate situation at the moment, I've tried to be careful about aquiring too many possession... I hate packing and moving... So, i've tried to keep the purchasing of books to a limit...
Are you excited about Narnia... I have been waiting since last year when I heard that it was coming out.... I've read all of the Narnia chronicles... Since the movie is coming out until December, I have considered reading them again... Not sure if I have the time though...
How are you this morning? How was work?

Im gonna order me a copy online if i can talk my wife into her debit card (mine dont work any more for some odd reason). Another good thing occured to me, since i have moved into a different county i can probably get a new library card out here. That meens ill have it for a while until i screw it up with overdue & lost books, NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY.
seriously, i do believe i am ultimately barred from every library wherever i have lived. i have even tried taking books out to just try to get them returned on time. it is an addiction, we definitely need an BLOAT group (book lovers overdue anonymous) {i forgot what the t stood for} MY ex wife even had instructions by her card saying "My husband is not allowed to use this card for any reason, any time."
Anyway, I'm gonna join this artist way club too. Do we get tee shirts?

Yeah... i think I'd keep you away from my libary card also... LOL...
I am one of those people that check out far more than I can possibly read in the time I'm given... And I have my holds on max... So... i ended up putting holds on a friend's card... I am so BAD!

Hey Lox,
Rus, Kerry, Terri, Harry, Wendy, Poopie, Tracy, Kat, Jackie, John D
Did I forget anyone?

Did I forget anyone?
I dont think so, what are we supposed to do? Are we like a secret club with a special handshake or anything? Should we maybe all look at the moon at a certain time & spit? C'mon- I'm finally a member of something. Let me have a chance to do something memberlike in case u guys decide to throw me out before i get a chance. I've always wanted to do a member thing.
One time , after never getting in any club, I figured there must be people like me who never get to join anything. So I tried to start a club for people who couldnt get in clubs, but nobody joined my club. They all started their own. So there were a couple clubs of cool people & a couple hundred clubs of people who couldnt get in other clubs - but we did form an alliance with each other & made ourselves an official group of clubs of people who couldnt get in other clubs. In my club, since I was president and everything else I made a new rule: No one else was allowed to join my club. But then i decided to have an initiation to get in- it was essentially a week of pledging to myself. Well, i didnt make it.

Hey Lox and my other artists,
Well, what did morning pages reveal to me today? That I think about you guys way too much, lol. That I can't drink coffee anymore -- it makes me terribly anxious in the evenings so that I start craving drugs again. And that affirmations just make me feel vain.
I had a lot of fun trashing my parents in the Time Travel exercise though.
How's it going for the rest of you?
Love,
Gina

Hi Gina...
What the morning pages have revealed to me...
1. I need to do an addendum to my 4th step.
2. That, although I typically consider myself optimistic, I am truly pestimistic when it comes to myself and optimistic concerning everyone else.
3. That my mind is quicker than my hand and it thoroughly pisses me off.
4. That I am an ego-maniac with an inferiority complex... (already knew that one, so it has been reinforced).
5. That I freakin' hate morning pages and introspection...(learned this during the 4th step also, but it too is being reinforced).
6. That I am so grateful I'm not the only one doing this, if I were I would have done quit and said f*** It!!!!
I cannot think of anyone that stiffled my creative growth, but myself... and my own character defects... I've tried to find someone... anyone... but I can't... Once again.. I was my own worse enemy.
I was able to do the exercise in which we write about our champions... I wrote about a child-hood friend who inspired me through friendly competition... and one of my Art Teachers who refused to accept mediocre work...
I have also started the exercise in which we get to chose alternative lives... Although that one is fun... it has struck a few cords with me when I think about where I am... and all the dreams I had when I was young... and all the things I wanted to do, but was too scared to put myself out there and take risk... That same condition has followed me through-out my years...
I'm doing the affirmations, but right now it's just a process... I haven't internalized them... which... intellectually, I think will happen over time....
That's about it... All in all.... I'm struggling... a lot of things are going on right now that I'm working through.... I want to escape... run... but I know that relief is only temporary....
You know that feeling Gina... where you just want to shut down.... or shyt... at least make the world stop... Be like... "okay, world... i got some things I'm dealing with right now... can you just slow down... let me get some things figured out and then we can continue..."
I feel like I'm always playing catch-up....
Whew...
I needed that... just needed to vent... please no solutions... i've got too many people around me that love to offer up solutions when at the moment all I need is to do some emotional vomitting...
Much Love,
Lox

Dear Lox,
You wrote: "You know that feeling Gina... where you just want to shut down.... or shyt... at least make the world stop."
Yes, I know that feeling well. When you figure out the solution, please let me know. My husband rarely has that. He trusts that everything will turn out the way it's supposed to, and that everything'll be fine. Sometimes I could strangle him -- a sensible person should panic, LOL.
The weirdest thing happened when I was doing the Time Travel exercise about my champions. I was writing about high school. The Hissing of Summer Lawns was playing. For the longest time afterwards, I had that 17 year old in the summer before college feeling -- the one where everything is possible and nothing can touch you. Wish I could bottle it and send some your way.
Thanks for sharing, Lox. Feel free to vent any time you like.
Love,
Gina

Agreed. There aren't too many summer high school albums superior to that.
Thank you Gina... You know one of these days you're gonna be like... "dayum... i wish i wouldn't of said that..." LOL....

Lox,
I don't even know how old you are, lol. But what I figure is, everyone in my family lives to 90 or more and typically healthy (but gaga) to the end. I've got as much of my life ahead of me as I have behind me -- that's actually more time than I had at 17 because 30 was the same as dead to a teenager.
One of my buddies in NZ went hiking in Borneo two months ago. She spent time in the rainforest with orangutans, living in a tent. She's been widowed for twenty years. She started adventure travel after that. She's 80.
Four months ago I just wanted to die. Given some of the stupid stuff I've done, I ought to be dead. Twice over. Everything now is gravy.
Downtown
My darling dimestore thief
In the war of independence
Rock n roll rang sweet as victory
Under neon signs
A girl was in bloom
And a woman was fading
In a suburban room
I said, take me to the dance
Do you want to dance?
I love to dance
And I told him, they dont take chances
They seem so removed from romance
Theyve been broken in churches and schools
And molded to middle class circumstance
And we were rolling, rolling, rock n rolling
Downtown
The dance halls and cafes
Feel so wild you could break somebodys heart
Just doing the latest dance craze
Gail and Louise
In those push-up brassieres
Tight dresses and rhinestone rings
Drinking up the bands beers
Young love was kissing under bridges
Kissing in cars, kissing in cafes
And we were walking down main street
Kisses like bright flags hung on holidays
In France they kiss on main street
Amour, mama, not cheap display
And we were rolling, rolling, rock n rolling
Downtown
In the pinball arcade
With his head full of pool hall pitches
And songs from the hit parade
Hed be singing bye, bye, love
While hes racking up his free play
Let those rock n roll choir boys
Come and carry us away
Sometimes Chickie had the car
Or Ron had a car
Or lead foot Melvin with his hot-wire head
Wed all go looking for a party
Looking to raise Jesus up from the dead
And Id be kissing in the back seat
Thrilling to the Brando-like things that he said
And wed be rolling, rolling, rock n rolling
