Um, thank you Jonny, for the commentary, and for not considering me a damsel in distress. You're making me wonder now if I should have started a firestorm with certain imponderables rather than just leaving. However, despite how entertaining you would be sure to find it, I do have my sanity to think on.

We've gotten off the subject. Even though there's a new thread, I'll post these here since they seem rather fitting...

*Bows deeply.*

I hope that my hijacking of the end of this thread did not offend you or anyone. And while the full engagenment may have been entertainment for us non-combatants, it most assured would have damaged your calm, perhaps to the point that you would have considered leaving our threads, and that thought would be unbearable. To paraphrase Citizen: Discretion, meet the better part of Valor.

On to your pix. You continue to amaze. Have you ever considered photography as a career? You share with HK a delightful sense of composition. And you have remarkable toes, btw. Lethal weapon perhaps but never the D in D...


"Well, here I am...Does that seem right to you?"

I take no offense, not before and not now. I know these things happen, though I do appreciate both you and HK apologizing.

Photography as a career? Not really. I do have dreams of taking pictures and creating art with them (as with my songpics) but I think it would be foolish of me to want to take all the pictures I would need for such things. And making money on anything of the sort, I have found, is an exercise in frustration. Be it writing, painting, graphic design, music, photography, or any other form of artistic expression, it is a hard life unless you strike it big. Even then, even if the money is good, it is a hard life and takes a certain kind of temperment to keep from burning out and losing one's mind. I'm not sure I have such a temperment.
Sorry, I got off on a ramble. My mind carries me down the well-worn paths rather often, and I've thought about trying to make my living as an artist a bit too much. I still think I'd like a job that involved graphic design, at least for awhile. Digital photography would doubtless be a big part of that sometimes.
So the short answer would be "Maybe."
I admit I'm not sure what "Lethal weapon perhaps but never the D in D..." means; 'tis a rather odd saying. However, I did understand what came before that, so thank you. I worked very hard on my toe dexterity when I was bored one summer, and it has stayed with me. It's very useful.

*edit* Oh yes...

I'm glad you think so. I think so, too. As to leaving completely, I have never been able to do it, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. Once I stayed off the threads for a whole week (nearly anyway), but I chatted in the tag and sometimes in the chatroom because there were people I missed. But yes, there is at least one thread series I'm out of for the time being (though I'm still updating the index out of stubborn pride) Will I come back? I guess we'll see. Not looking likely at this point.
If I'm ever off the site entirely, it will be because there is too much Real Life happening. I love all you shiny folk too much to let a few peices of unfinished (and possibly unfinishable) business get in my way of seeing you. Real Life is a different thing, and we'll see how mine goes come the new year.

*edit number two* Yes, Penguin, leather (and vinyl! Don't forget the vinyl!)

The assumption that I couldn't afford you financially, assuming you are indeed a gold-digger because I have no evidence to the contrary as of yet, is founded because of the picture a while back of me standing next to my beautiful beat up 7 year old Cavalier. I'm not a poor man, but I don't see myself in a McMansion with a Hummer any time soon.

I have no fucking idea how to talk to you.

You're the one who said, and I quote:

"By the way... I'm working on my financial inadequacies. As soon as I figure out how this guy was able to do this, I could afford 4 of you."

Just up a ways. Posted by you, 6ixStringJack. I never once said that you didn't earn enough money for me, which is why I responded to that statement the way I did (and now I apparently can’t kid around without completely over-explaining every nuance of my word choice). You're the one who jumped straight into finances because of what… you apparently once posted a picture of your car? Shit, I drive a 12 year old piece of shit salvaged Jeep, what the fuck do I care how old your car is? But suddenly I’m the one making assumptions about you? You’ve somehow managed to twist around everything I’ve said, and I am clueless about the provocation.

As far as the “gold digger” jab, asshole, I’ve been supporting myself just fine; I don’t need or want your or anyone else’s money. Maybe you’re the one who shouldn’t be so quick to judge those around you, particularly admirers.
Quote:

Just a word of advice: You probably shouldn't be so quick to judge those around you, particularly admirers... you may have already missed out on some great oppurtunities at happiness.
Once again, you're making some strange leap here. I am honestly not aware of any “admirers,” and maybe I’m not reading the same thread you are, but I never judged you or anyone else in any negative or derogatory way. You’ve assumed that I’m a gold digger, you’ve assumed that I don’t already have happiness, and by the tone of your post, it seems like you’re also assuming that I was attacking you in some way.
Quote:

You just keep playing hard to get though. It suits you.
Fuck you.
You expect me to take a proposal of marriage seriously here? I thought we were all kidding around, but I guess there must be some unwritten crime to try to joke around with you.

Sorry to bring this into your thread, PhoenixRose.




WOW! Bad day? Get a fucking vibrator you nut-bag....shit, get two.......

Don't apologize or otherwise speak to trolls, HK; it's what they want. Unless you were talking to me, and you already said sorry for bringing it into my thread, so you have no reason to say sorry again, as any and all possible transgressions are forgiven. You're too cool for me to be mad at for something like getting snippy and/or standing up for yourself. If you're apologizing to Jack, I suppose that works; you were rather harsh on him, though I can relate to your frustration completely. Banter without tone of voice can get so slipperly, can't it?

Kaneman gets an apology and I get...*choke*...I don't even get acknowleded, even though I went on and on--well maybe just on--about how cool and hot you are? I've been...dissed? I'm...hurt!

Unless you're apologizing to me? But whatever for? I wasn't offended by your...outburst? rant? Hmmm. Confused, but that's my normal state so there's still no foul.

It's just the way you handle a blade. Seeing that one in your toes and the memory of all your other dagger and swordplay and some hot working over of the big bag, led me the conclusion you are a Lethal Weapon, but you'll never be confused with a D in D (damsel in distress). All clear? I love being cryptic...

As to the whole artist as livelihood thing, I can relate. One of my many career goals was commercial artist, *gazes into mocking abyss of my contributions to the Blue Sun Room* but I was too damn slow ever to make it in the RW. None of us can afford to quit our day jobs, but I still foolishly believe that someday...Anyway, I love your work.

Alright. I'm sorry. Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry. Don't be mad at me. I don't like it when people are mad at me. Internet.... not the best medium for human interaction sometimes. If I said some things that I shouldn't have, or inferred or implyed some things that I shouldn't have then again I'm sorry.
There's nothing more that I can say.


Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Dintcha notice her sign-on name? A brilliant play on words; not only does it sound like Hell's Kitchen (sorry to have to explain this to Jack outright, sweets, but I cannot help myself: the Berserker has taken hold of me. Uh, may I call you sweets?) , it takes it's etymology from "Hellcat": 1.a. A woman regarded as bad-tempered and evil; b. A woman who practices sorcery; a witch; 2. A person who torments others; and "[Sex] Kitten": A young woman considered to have sex appeal. Since she is a kitten and not a cat, the Hellcat definition becomes slightly softer: Not "bad-tempered', but "moody"? Not "evil", but "mischievous". Not a tormentor, but a tease. Generally. Unless provoked. If her sign on name has such depth and meaning, how could the woman behind it be any less remarkable? That's why you couldn't afford her. Ever play a twelve string? Might need a bigger instrument...And yes, I am a funny guy, dude.

Kaneman, how is it you always show up when there's bad language involved? Do you wile away the hours by doing searches on the site for cussing? Well, it's true.....
