Briefly
Splash!
The pebble bounced off the surface.
By the time it had sunk, he’d picked up another.
He was called inside before he was able to throw it.
This had become a sort of routine; seeing her. Over the past few months, her skin had dried up and shrank. That didn’t really trouble him. He found it meaningless. She was old, and did not seem to recognize anyone. Yet he went up those stairs and into that room every time he was called. Grudgingly, but he had learned ages ago to hide some of his emotions, to pretend, especially around family.
A few minutes later, he was back outside, his duties done for the day.
It started to drizzle. He walked inside.
It always rains when someone dies.

hope you still have that pebble. throw it as hard as you can and get over it.
now tell me what if someone dies and it doesn’t rain, were they not good enough for god to cry over them? oh well, it’s always raining somewhere in the world, isn’t it, so maybe that’s why you mistakenly thought you could generalize.

Kids tend to generalize.
There is no God.
Get over what?

an agnostic/atheist eh? then i wonder why you’re relentlessly identifying yourself with christianity in your previous posts…

I am more than an agnostic, I loath religion. Some religions more than others. “Relentlessly” is a bit extreme. I have an issue with being labeled as arab/muslim, that’s about the extent of it.
It’s nice to have a stalker, just as long as you keep entertaining me.
Oh NO. Why the hell would she agree to get back together? A week after dumping her? Come on… Methinks you need a refill on sarcasm, you can’t seem to get that.

i’d love to keep entertaining you ramzi, but you should get some sleep now. here try this site. www.99rooms.com

What a charming anonymous poster.
July 27th, 2005 at 2:29 pm
I’m not fond of this anonymous character.
Tempest - give him a verbal spanking.
July 27th, 2005 at 6:48 pm
i think “anonymous” is a girl — one who’s secretly in love with tempest, yet it’s a love/hate thing: she is mad at herself for having fallen for a “rogue” since she is “supposed to be above THAT”
in which case a “spanking” won’t have the effect that natalie envisions. quite the contrary…
July 27th, 2005 at 7:11 pm
natalie, a spanking is always in good order
On the other hand, it is strangely entertaining to have a prude anonymously stalking my online existence…
July 27th, 2005 at 9:08 pm
Inno, when online stalking becomes a form of deferred entertainment…
Thats when you really have to examine your mindset.
Spanking. I meant it in the more disturbing parental discipline sense, but your way works too.
ASHRAF - is she!? I wouldnt mind one….very Diabolique! Also….creepy…
July 27th, 2005 at 9:28 pm
natalie, she has now invaded my photostream as well. Apparently, she dislikes my photos as well.
Ah well…
July 27th, 2005 at 10:31 pm
so comments boost huh?? ahhh babe, don’t mention it…
i don’t dislike your photos, this is constructive criticism
. that last one is pretty bad though.
now again and again, you make mistakes der tempest. why assuming i’m a prude from a couple of posts?? you need to work on your logic.
btw, ron jeremy?? oh come on!! your shares are going down here… utter disgust. is it the hair? or the size?***rolleyes***
ah well, i’d rather not know.

‘parently i’m the ONLY one who postes his/her e-mail address… which means i will - again - use the “comments section” to contact you. liminal hasn’t responded to putting me up on the lebanese blogger forum - can you please give me eve’s e-mail so i can contact her? — virtual communication used to be so much easier…
don’t sweat the anony-mouse — at least she calls you baby. i haven’t had anyone calling me that in … weeks.
somehow i feel she has disturbingly gorgeous pictures somewhere … of herself, which she made to show YOU, but so far hasn’t had the guts to do so because she KNOWS that once she does, she will have surrendered her body & soul to you.
will do a close analysis of your photostream & then replicate on my site — i also want a stalkette amoureuse!
July 28th, 2005 at 1:17 am
hmm ashraf, aren’t you the romantic one??!!… sorry to disappoint you though but ramzi is just a scapegoat for now, a pleasurable experiment. anyways on est a mille lieues from each other and i’m not into that platonic s****
and yes, i do have some gorgeous pictures. all over the walls.
you know, it’s always nice to hear from a romantic one, makes me feel so lucky that i’m not of that kind. hope you get your own stalkette soon.
p.s i can give you ramzi’s email if you wish.
July 28th, 2005 at 1:31 am
t-
thanks for eve’s e-mail - sent her a note. and now … minshuuf.
anonymous - how do you know that T is a mille lieues away from you? and thanks for the wellwishing…
did you mean to say “makes me feel so lucky that i’m not of that kind” or “not the only one of that kind”?
you DO strike me as terribly romantic. not in a hallmarky kind, but still… all that secret pining for a yet-undiscovered artist so far, far away… it’s almost a bit too “moulin rouge”, don’t you think?
btw, thanks T for so graciously providing this space for mademoiselle & moi to … err … converse.
July 28th, 2005 at 3:54 pm
this is hilarious again. keep on conversing…
again, tempest, admiration to your posts and comments.
July 28th, 2005 at 5:34 pm
Tell me romantic stalkette,what is Ramzi a scapegoat for??
