Hey Deathstar!
Why don't you answer my Star Wars questions? My other question is:
What generates the energy for the power shield for the Death Star? At one stage I thought that maybe they harness all the positive energy of the people on the ship, but they don't look so happy - so it must be something else!

The fabulous Dorquestar
answers no questions....
Besides which, when you kick his butt (which is distressingly easy to do), he deletes the post.

GaryM - now you've REALLY done it

Dragstar has gone and deleted her post yet again. And it's all your fault.

Threatening her with hemlock.

Tsk.

Dusty Muffin

I really loved what Morts said about DorkStar. Something about ignoring the pissant. Perhaps then Melodramatix will fuck off?

What do you think?

Yup Frallie

Ignoring it seemed to work this morning. It kept commenting to itself on its own blog.

Then Gary told it to drink hemlock, and guess what happened to the post?

*poof*

Again.

No surprise though. Wonder if it will come back for more S&M? Yup, probably won't be able to help itself. If so, I will try and exercise commentary restraint.

Maybe.

Probably not.

Dusty - Please could you,

remove this comment from the blog. I feel that without the original post my comment may be seen out of context and used against me at some stage in the future.

Thanks

Spoegs

P.S. I think they're watching me.

Sorry spoegs

Only one deletion per week.

And you're right, the Zignwabs are back. Darquestar is their leader. and this time, there's no more Mr Nice Guy.

Time to dust off the trusty light sabre I'm afraid.

Vaps

You save this stuff? On your hard drive.

Oy! I don't know what's weirder. You or ArbCheecken with the wallpaper.

Yikes.

Hey! Frallie! My wallpaper idea

IS THE BOMB! Dammit man.....I really have to find the time to get cracking with that idea - when you see my study splashed all over 'House and fekkin Home'......we'll see who gets the last manic laugh!

*bwwahahahahaha*

Ag Arbie

You know I just love to yank your chain sweetie. Perhaps I'm just hoping that you'll run after me with that spatula.

Yeah Frals...

knew it would just take one leetle smooch ;)

Nah Fralls

just talking crap and trying to get tempers flarring. Haha. You know I tend to really get smitten with a piece of writing or not. So once I've read something if it doesn't stay with me well I guess it never would.

So Vaps

KC's boobs smote you stukkend?

Because they've definitely stayed with you. For quite a long time now.

Such a liar

I'm sure you've got this blog and most of 24.com pasted on your bedroom ceiling. Alongside the enlargement mirrors. You know. The kind you get in the fun fair. (I know you need all the help you can get.)

Fralls Dusts

laughter always lasts longer than anything I know. However KC's boobs, now that is no laughing matter!

Err......obviously I won't be including

K Chasu's knockers in my 'wallpaper'....maybe the boys knees tho?

A thought has just occurred to me

Big boobs + small feet = problem with balance

Problem with balance = unbalanced.

Yup. Figures.

Let's hope she never gets an ear infection.

HAHA Dusty Muff

You be on good form! Love it!

Oooooh Dusts

You're getting fucken brave.

Well, you're scared of me

so I must be invincible

OK Dusts

Let's see you and Chasu in the squirming mud pit, I'll watch from the ring side. My bet's on you. Now all you have to do is walk up to her and slap her through the face. And then wait and see what happens. She doesn't always respond, so it may take a few more blows before you see any real action.

Hope you don't mind if I rephrase this

"Now all you have to do is walk up to her, bend down, and slap her through the face."

If I do knock her down, at least her natural flotation devices will ensure that there isn't the remotest possibility of drowning.

Dusty, be afraid

of the one armed with shopping trolley.
Goes for the shins and then you're fucked!
Hahahaha!

Ja Vaps

Do you think she's able to sleep on her tummy?

Nope Fralls

fraid not. That is why she loves missionary so much.

Dusty

You know how fucken scared I am of you so I say this with huge respect. I don't think it's cool to post someone's IP without their permission. It's his/her/it's blog and if that person choses to delete, so be it.

And if people regularly delete their blogs well people won't be as inclined to participate and comment - I mean what's the point if your comments etc are just going to bite the dust anyway and you are just ignored.

And as for DorkStar, great writer but fucken whore-moan-all little prat. Seriously. Talk about making a GAT of yourself on a blog. I think Ramon's right. The whole outburst was excessively over the top. But fair entertainment.

i scored frankie...

it's the first time in ages that i almost made somebody weep a little (no - hiddy = Wee not Weep)... and the last time' long ago; far far away - was only a very small child anyway... i grinned at it.

blogbitch for a day - mildly entertaining stuff... a fair reward for being irritated to the point of doing a 'volstruis-skop'.

Morts

You a beeeyaatch? Never.

And ja I was flicking in between meetings today but missed the great show down. So is Dork Vader going to return? Hopefully she will be a bit less premenstrual when she does.

Just when I thought you couldn't sink any lower...

"and the last time' long ago; far far away - was only a very small child anyway... i grinned at it."
You are a very nasty piece of work indeed.

you have no idea poppet...

truthfully - neither did I anymore - until you fiddled continuously with my pissy switch.

as for taking pleasure out of blogging - thats precisely what you did for me over the last couple of days... with your unwarranted melodramatics and contemptuous posts.

ps: its not really nice to copy and paste my comments... wasnt there a recent rumplestiltskin from you about copyright?

lets agree to ignore each other? perhaps we can both find the pleasure again that way. i solemnly swear to skip anything with your name next to it.

Nasty, nasty, nasty

I sincerely hope you don't have a daughter. I know your type. You hate girls, don't you?

Well I'm off, I'm feeling nauseous.

Yes you are.

You certainly are off.

Off your fuckin rocker.

Jesus Dex

Which rock did that piece of slime crawl out from? Phatoooey!

Talk about "How to win friends and influence bloggers". Do they have a little internet cafe in Tara nowadays?

I think so, Fralls.

We might be a strange bunch, but old Melodramatix here is seriously demented.

Imagine living with someone like that? ME ME ME ME ME ME TALK TO ME LOOK AT ME LOVE ME ME ME

fuuuuuck.

Wahahaha

Melodramatix. Jesus that was funny.

Ja. Talk about a high maintenance chick. That's one hell of an ego obsession she's got going there. Absolutely not object variance. It's all subject with her.

Me me me ME ME. And you guys are all shit. And I am so misunderstood. Now why the fuck didn't you respond to my Asstricks.

Bet you she's a bunny boiler.

Ag Morts

Leave the amateur dramatist alone. Seriously it's not worth the trouble. Just horribly immature attention seeking. Morts you above this kind of shit.

Hey, Morts.

I think someone has the hots for you.
Ring a bell?
German comments.
Couple of Cure lines.
A bit of 'I have no penis'-Anna Varney for you.
Just an observation.

yes ramon. morti knows.

its why i was attempting to be my reasonable self initially. old habits die hard, you know? tried. failed. got irritable. gave up. got mad. done. for good.

Life goes on.

Life goes on.

yeah ramon... and morrison and plath

are eternal. nothing gained; nothing lost.

by the way - not many flies in april. kelp is less stinky. maybe i can leave a bag of chicken under a rock for a week or so before you visit?
that said - as autumn dances in - the mists follow... so its a cracker time for a visit. well planned, sir!

For sure, Morts.

See you there.
Deks said he's driving me down from Jo'burg to Cape Town with a Pick 'n Pay bag full of weed. We'll stay at yours for a night or two (gate crash my sister's wedding - no harm done), meet Dolce and Flutter for drinks, and crash at Frallie's.
Any other ideas?

lunch at dassiesfontein?

anytime sugar... anytime. theres a couch with your name on it, at the very least. maybe i'll just meet you at the breaks in your whirl of activities? i'm not good at crowds!

Me neither, Morts.

dassiesfontein sounds like a blast. Couch, floor.
never really had a bed, Morts, so no worries.

DorkStar

Your completely laughable. You've already made a complete and utter tit of yourself her.

Going for round four are you?

And if you say that about Mort all I can say is you are deluded. Seriously deluded.

YOU scared of ME?

BUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Yeah right.

But I get your point (and everyone else's)

And I've made my point (and had a good few chortles along the way).

So the poem will be removed. But the comments stay. All of them. Especially the ones on the original post.

Yes Dusty

I saw the Aileen Wuornos audition photo. I've never quite gotten over that. I am scared. Very scared. And now that I know that you (and Vaps and Morts and Arb) collect info.

Jesus I'm rattled.

I'f off to buy an online version of a dust(y) buster to clear up my cyber trail. I'm sure all of you are stalking me or at least are planning to.

God. I won't even begin thinking about Dex because I just might never fucken sleep again.

frankie - i'm working on

the astral travel. if i master the art - i'll tip you off - then be afraid. very afraid.

feckit - my cats a much better stalker than me!

(havent forgotten you frankie - a bit overwhelmed at the mo)

Morts

Are you familiar with the Munro stuff? If you are into astral travel you'll find his stuff very interesting. And I'd be delighted to get a visit from you in the ether.

(And no worries hey. I'm pretty hectic myself.)

Dusty Buster!

Get one for Darquestar while you're at it, OK?

And now I know how KC feels - post ONE pic of yourself, and the blog Never Forgets.

I prefer it this way...

I would give credit to Dorquela, excpet that credit is probably not the right word I think...

I accuse Dorquela of writing the original!

Via an Internet translation engine

The night is fed passes the clock.
The day is fed passes the clock.
It makes the day black, in the column,
the night twitches this is a machine for makes the white black the filament,
the black is brilliant.

I open the young gate in to return
to the night to go forward in its young machine
and the axis nod in the dark wristwatch.
The spark pile which the world fills up my head
with the small knot
I pillow chain to put on in me which tick-tock is making noise
the shadow female shirt extinguishes.

The night is fed passes the clock.
The day is fed passes the clock.
The night of star wheel added the denticle imagination
and the day rotation black to fill the time and the hope.

Oo Gary

Oo-er

Suggest you run and hide.

Now.

Perhaps we are being a little unfair Your Dustiness...

The poem is both good and original.

Unahappily, the bits that are good are not original, and the bits that are original are not good...

Gazza

I am a poetry peasant, and would not know which bits are original.

Pray tell, which are the less original bits, and who wrote them first?

The words

"nodding", "quenched", and "stars" are not original.

I think it was Enid Blyton who wrote the word "nodding" first, the others escape me.

Actually, I based my comment on this:

"Did you ask Robert Smith for permission after using his lyrics on your blog? Did you even quote him?
Hypocrite.", which I accuse Ramon of writing.

You don't really think I read more than the first three lines of the offending poem, do you?

Gazza huh... it''s like that is it...

For the record, I too am a poetry peasant.

Ha-Ha-Ha

Classic GaryM! You put a smile on face today...I felt like crying after I read Morticia, Dusty and Dolce's comments. But it's all good now. And I'm sorry about the haiku of the other day...I deeply regret ever posting it...

Can I buy you a bottle of something to make up for it? You have nothing to fear from Darqeustar.

DorkStar

A bottle of meths would do it.

Don't sweat Darquestar

And I'm sorry about the haiku of the other day...I deeply regret ever posting it...

It's just cause and effect. Nothing personal from my side. People kick back, that's how it is in the real world too.

Can I buy you a bottle of something to make up for it?

Buy yourself a great bottle of wine, drink it, enjoy it, then start the whole posting thing again (without the deletions). Most people are cool here... Except Frallie...and Dex...and...wait...you are RIGHT...all of them, they are....

You have nothing to fear from Darqeustar.

I feel compelled to say that I never did.

Seriously though, it's OK. There are some great writers here, and though I don't post much I hang out a lot in the background (guesting) to read what they have to write. It's a way better place than 24.lets.all.just.have.lobotomies.com

Garallina

I see you're feeling premenstrual. Why don't you go and have a hot bath, a cup of tea, take your curlers out and put on George Michael. You'll a feel a lot better after that.

Gazza

Gazza

    Gazza

Gazza
Gazza

and finally:
Gazza.

Jy soek vir kak, en kak gaan jy kry.

GaryM

You make me weep.

And roll my eyeballs heavenwards.

Twit.

Poetry Peasants

Guys just because you're apoetry peasant doesn't mean you can't have fun with rhyming words. Try some rapping for example.

I call this one

Duh Requester:

Duh Requester is in da house,
Duh Requester is in da house (Wiki, Wiki, Wiki)
Somebody be looking out for dat mouse (Boom, Wiki, Boom)
Cos duh Requester is in da house (Wiki, Wiki, Wiki)

Admin Dude is now in dah house

Although reminds me os a little rap ditty I put together a few months back:

Admin dude is in dah house (Wiki)
Admin dude is in dah house (Boom)
Comin' to sort dem italics out (Wiki)
Admin dude is in dah house (Boom)

maybe admindude..

can help us post a haiku and have it remain part of our personal blogs, without having to repost it?

Good point, Aslam

haven't noticed that - will check it out.

Maybe Admindude

Could give us tips on how to shag and not get pregnant, or how to make the world a more peaceful place. C'mon AdminDude - Can You? Hey, Hey?

or he could just

get the search widgit to work. right now it is just for show.

aslam. sit down dude and let me explain

you see this place? with what looks like blingola functions and shit?

well, it doesn't work.

this type of blogspot used to be run by the cretinous money-hungry vermin over at M&G online. And NONE OF IT EVER WORKED THERE EITHER.

when they shut down the old place and made us all move to Super Bling and Functional blogspot, it sucked piles through a donkey's arse.

so, shuttup about the bits that don't work and get down and dirty with the writing.

we love Admindude for giving us back what amounts to our own place back again.

down and dirty?

i do not do "down and dirty" .
only moaning it seems.

no no no. aslam.

see, the cretinous vermin from Mail and Guardian were fair game. They were crap useless.

Our little Dex needs to be protected from abuse. because he could, at any point, decide to burn the place to the ground and head into the sunset muttering "fuck 'em all."

we don't want that.

Oiy! Chasoo!

dex doesn't need protection, okay!

I might, but not him.

you dig?

ok - but just know i have your back pardner

just in case you change your mind about giving me admin rights.

thanks KC...

(still - never gonna happen)

Oh God

here we go another Brokeback moment.

Aslam, go for

the winky touch. KC digs it when you do that while you're sitting next to her and she's explaining something.

Yes please

Ditto with photography, book reviews, et cetera (Look! I spoke French!)

etcetera

is latin.

Um. I knew that. Was just testing you.

Not.

*blush*

From now on, I'll just stick to English, Afrikaans, ensovoorts.

Maybe Admindude

can speak latin. And is actually Chuck Norris in disguise. Who is actually Riaane Crywagen in disguide. Who knows!

i imagine him as a pale

jack nicholson.
with a comb over and bony fingers.

Fork! I don't!

Think Admin dude is righteously hot! But I reckon The Lish is MUCH sexier!

Aslam.....I picture you as having chiseled features. Hmmm...anyone else want me to 'picture' them?

'No Arb...go fuck yourself"

Oh Dolce,

Come over here you funny blogger and sit on my lap, there's something pressing I need to discuss with you.

Oh Fuck, KC.

Here we go again. KC have an Alka Seltzer - you're giving me heart burn.

well, if you weren't such ignorant peasants

i wouldn't feel the need.

tsk.

and you style yourselves wordsmiths?

*shakes head*

what is the world coming to?

KC

I thought peasantry was a state of godliness? Unlike the state of the world which suffers from gluttony mostly driven by educated white bastards like Spoegs.

Vapour, here we go -

Take this tent and powdered milk and fuck off into the veld - report back to me in a few days on how it was.

Spoegs

you should be ashamed of yourself! How dare you talk of powdered milk! Have you even seen a cow that gives powdered milk, do you know the pain that these cows endure so that you may have powdered milk!!! Ha I didn't think so. White bastards! We'll see how clever you lot are once we make Umshimini wam the national anthem. Viva JZ, Viva the number one lover!

i think you mean un-educated

white bastard.

Nope KC

these are the people of commerce who are partying us back into the ice age.

DarqueStar - There's only one thing to do

And thats to settle this using the time honoured tradition of a riddle contest. I'll riddle you and then you riddle me and whoever gets the most riddles right owes the other one an apology. I'll start:

Whats red and green, flies by night, doesn't make a sound yet is oftening referred to as deafening?

Regards

Spoegs

OK DarqueStar - Upping the Ante

How's about we take this challenge a little bit further? I propose that the loser of the riddling contest has to get the other's blog pseudonym tattooed on their butts. Evidence needs to be posted within 10 days of losing.

What do you think?

Regards

Spoegs

Spoegs

If you bend over and look in the mirror (between your legs will be most comfortable), you will see that your bottom already has a dark star of sorts, smack bang in the middle.

So I don't think Darquestar will take you up on this challenge.

Just a thought.

Dusty

You dorque - thats a Darquestarfish not a darquestar. So please butt out of this duel please.

Oh bugger

I just did a Dusty.

Poor keyboard. It can't take the abuse!

Um Dolce?

Didn't you just say 'Bye, I'm off to lunch?

If so, I hope you managed to swallow before spewing.

Swallow?

Of course I swallow Spoegles. After chewing 36 times.

Dolce and chewing before swallowing

You're a respendent shining light to all kids out there - Chew your food before you swallow. Such an important lesson to learn.

Uh-oh Dolce

That was my comments, not Mr Spit's.

I hope this oversight is as a result of food particles on your screen, and not because the style of writing is like his.

Food particles Dusts

definitely the food!

Doh.

Sorry spoegs

I was just being an ass

Guys - what's the issue here?

Darquestar is surely entitled to do whatever she likes with her blog? i really don't understand the problem. Add, delete - who gives a fuck?

we read, we enjoy - and ya, she might be an arrogant pompous judgemental tantrum thrower - but is it so important that people conform to our way of "playing the game"?

i think not.

i don't care much for darquestar - but i truly dig the poetry.

what is the big deal?

That's the thing KC

There is no big deal.

And I'm not asking for conformity. The only rules here are that you acknowledge the use of somene else's work, and you don't intentionally hurt other blogbuddies.

Dm

i thinking harping on about the use of some lyrics is a bit pathetic. come on - somebody somewhere has strung many of the words we have together before.

that particular poem, well, so what?! it's not like she hid anything.

if i say "to be or not be" and then launch into something else, do i have to put Copyright William Shakespeare?

this all seems like pettiness.

plus i don't actually think it's correct to copy and keep other people's blogs.

and if it hurt blogbuddies - well - so what? i am nasty often. look at what i did to allycat. did anyone shit me out for it? nope.

No KC

Odd bits of lyrics are not the problem.

Remember the furore when wizard posted that soft-porn and changed a few names? And mort had a major blowout on the dark side when some bloggers claimed others' work as their own. It's not on.

Chirping other bloggers is great, and provides for some very entertaining reading. It's when the likes of Barry cross the line.

Dusty.

There is also no rule to be 'nice' to everyone.

I don't get why darq is getting THAT upset about it - but to be honest, if you did this to me it would creep my out just a little, too.

You can't blackmail people out of being assholes, you know...

And barry was a whole different kettle of fish.

Dex

I'm very glad about that rule, because then KC wouldn't be allowed here at all. And Frallie would never be able to talk to you. Ever.

I know that quite a few bloggers save copies of posts that they like (particularly poems). And they're quite open about it.

Is this spooking you because I reposted this here? Would it have been better if I had posted it on my Wordpress blog, or on 24?

How do you know that total strangers haven't posted bits of your work on other blogs, and you just haven't been made aware of it?

Frallie quoted from four 24 blogs the other day, and wasn't particularly nice in her appraisal of the content. I have only said good things about Darquestar's work.

Blackmail? Nah.

Dusty

Come on now - that 'deal' you made with him did sound a little like blackmail. You know that.

Obviously there are no real rules obout what people can or cannot do with stuff you post. And like I said, it wouldn't freak me out as much as it does ol' Darq.

And quoting a sentence or two from another blog is a little different. But you forcing this person to have stuff out there that he obviously doesn't want out there anymore (no matter how kak the reasoning behind it), just doesn't sit right with me.

Can you honestly say to me that you wouldn't mind one little bit if people posted your stuff, even though they clearly credit you?

But it's certainly an interesting debate.

OK Dex

I see how that could be like blackmail. So I'll change the terms.

I would still like to keep copies of the posts on my pc, for my eyes only, but will not repost them on my blog if they are deleted. Fair now?

Ag Dex, the stuff I write is such inane drivel, as Darq says, that i would be DELIGHTED if people posted my stuff! And anyway the commentary on my posts is far more valuable and entertaining than the original posts.

They way I see it Dusty

you don't need permission from anyone to keep stuff. It's just the posting again part that I didn't agree with.

bloggers alert:

i have a folder titled "blogwords" which contains my favourite contributions
from many of you - not everything you write - but the ones that really grabbed me - and i have credited each work to the author.

if any of you has the slightest problem with me keeping works published under your blognames for my personal pleasure - shout. if you are convinced that your work is not worth rereading or keeping - i'll be inclined to agree... and do what you ask.

i kept each of v's works - not the comments etc. - just the verse, and i was open about it. i believe that he hung on to some of mine for a while, and no doubt some of yours. admittedly, i didnt publish them, nor would i.

i believe dusty was making a statement - after our little will o the wisp kept dropping, deleting and disappearing... it gets just a tad ridiculous.

and hell man... love the amateur dramatics. its been a while since we've had a bitchfest.

Yup Dex

I agree.

Me just be a button-pusher.

No, you may not

copy anything without the explicit permission of the author. You may or may not heed this warning, it's up to you. So be it blackmailer.

What fucking planet

are you living on?

Dude - if you're gonna be this paranoid about putting anything 'out there', you're only going bring yourself misery by publishing in public spaces.

Make up your mind - blog site or notebook.

Dex some support here please

I'd like to pursue the riddling approach if possible.

But Spoegs

surely that d-cup you're wearing is support enough?

Ja Dex

But it chaffs like shit.

god bless jesus, mary, joseph and the wee donkey

that there is no rule about being nice to everyone.

i hate you fuckers.

and then

I love you fuckers.

but if NICE was a rule, holy shit.

Ah, KC

I see the devout Catholic in you is taking over again....

it's like being schizophrenic.

i swear.

Well Dekshroom

trust you to come in and try to calm the water, fukkit mate can you not just sit back and watch a bit of mud wrestling?

Vapourub

Shattap i kill you.

KC

according to the Mail and Gaurdian, darqi is accused of stealing Dusty muffins verse and posting as its own. Look I don't want to get involved. It's just what I heard.

Exposé

So tell me Ms. Dusty Muffin. Are you one of those Internet blackmailers I’ve read about? Do you save private information about bloggers, copy and store private conversations, enter e-mail discussions, meet bloggers and take photographs of them or save personal photographs posted on blogs that will later link them to their pseudonyms for extortion purposes? If, say, a married man or woman engages in a sexual flirtation on the blog, do you save the conversation to use against them later on? Do you have a file for every individual blogger? Don’t answer, I get the picture, you shrewd, shrewd Jezebel you...

Is that why your own blog is completely devoid of any personal details? Well, well. If anything, some good came from this violation of my privacy.

Take the damn poem. Take it. I’ll give you no more.

here you go dust - some more for you.

just to test the theory about personal danger and all - living vicariously.

i am 35
i am well fleshed (a jackie the ripper feast)
i have two children; two kittens; two cars; two computers; two hands; two feet... you get the pic, yes?
i live very close to blaauwberg beachfront
i was born in slummies
i like the missionary position best
i cook at least five days a week
i wear old fashioned nightdresses in th bedroom and kaftans in public
i lost my virginity in standard seven
i have had no less than 50 relationships - spanning a week to a few years
i love eating with my hands
my housedoctor is a biker
my brother is struggling with substance abuse
my sister is a single parent with a partially deaf daughter

you good for now dusty? anything else you need babe... just shout. i'm not feeling scared yet!

for heavens sake y'all - look long and hard at that mirror tonight - and ask yourself: "am i worth stalking"... if youre not sure - get back to me. i know the answer.

mort

I just love you the mostest!

*MWWWWWAAAAAAHHHHHH*

oh, and mort

if you have second thoughts about posting any of the above details, just say the word, and I'll ask adminguy to do his thing, OK?

nope dusty...

i have a rather primitive method of dealing with stalkers... so i'd deal with it if i had to... mercilessly.

fecking ludicrous... the paranoia is astounding.
chances are, if anybody has that much free time for the drop and delete shit - and hours of editing to perfection - they arent spending all their time dodging stalkers - not even in the real world, where faces and names are freely available... maybe theyre just not alluring enough.

that said - i detest myself for even entering the fray. i've said it before... dont feed the animals/narcissists... starvation is the very best method of popolation control. so i'm done - and i'm throwing the key to the cupboard away.

actually dark star...

...i beg to differ.
dusty has posted extremely personal stuff on her blog.
my advice to you: don't take yourself so seriously and develop a thicker skin.

marijayn

Please direct me to those personal posts. There is nothing on her blog but inane drivel: Jokes, funny pictures, a list of all registered bloggers...

dark star

marijayn, there's nothing

"extremely personal" about that post, in fact, it only confirms my suspicion that she is the kind of person who will stop at nothing to get her hands on someone else's husband, money or inheritance.

And yes it creeps me out a bit. Read her words again:

Because I WILL be copying and pasting what you post, and hiding it in the deep, dark recesses of my computer. So that I can go back and enjoy the words again and again.
And if you do delete those posts, I will put them on my blog again.

This kind of killed the fun of blogging for me. How can anyone post anything remotely personal again?

Duharkschtar

Never cut 'n paste anything off the internet?

Didn't think so.

Eejit.
