about crocus
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world"
-Mahatma Gandhi
Hey guys/gals. This is just an FYI. I am going through my friends list. I'm going to be pretty ruthless about it as I am going to be switching to friends only soon.
Don't take it the wrong way if I remove you. In the past, I've typically accepted all friends requests. However, this means that if I want to post things friends only it is pretty much pointless as I have all kinds of folks on my list.
I'm going to go through my friends list and remove anyone that I haven't spoken with recently or who I really don't have that much in common with. There are a group of folks on here that love the drama and go poking around other people's profiles looking for it. And truthfully, if I think that your friends are crazy or one of the drama hounds, I'm probably going to remove you unless we are really tight.
As I said, it isn't personal so much as I am tired of all the cattiness in here and am going to restrict my GOLO profile and feel this is a good way to do it.

Green is good.... Yellow is no so good..... Red is BAD BAD BAD BAD......
This is why the "Check engine" light is yellow....to warn you that something may be going wrong....versus the oil light which illuminates RED to keep you from blowing your engine....
Some folks see that "yellow" light as a pesky nuisance until it leaves them stranded on the highway....others panic at the very sight...more likely because they know it will cost some money.
NEVER ignore the red, pay attention to the yellow and be happy when all is green.....

Girl, you realize it's way too early to be thinking of spirits (especially since I enjoyed too many this weekend. UGH) We'll have to pick up this conversation on say, ....Friday? LOL
Hope you had a good one!

Stephanie is doing well Thank You for asking...she has a Surgeon appointment tomorrow. And she wants to go to Karate tomorrow evening. Still can not be alone because she can't get a lot of things for herself yet...and I like to make sure she does not get in bathroom nor shower without someone here just in case. BUT zipping right around on crutches...she has been on them over a month now.

I am also excited about "The Plan" this fall.
In the meantime, 12 weeks of Sookie Stackhouse on True Blood will help pass the time!

I don't think it will either. I've heard the ratings have been pretty bad. I was also very excited about it. Honestly, I'm kind of been dissapointed. It has great potential, I like the idea of it, it just hasn't impressed me all that much. There have been maybe 3 episodes so far that I really liked, the rest were just so-so. Not to say it's a bad show, I'd still watch it over 90% of the other stuff out there-and it doesn't hurt that Eliza Dushku is hot :).

LOL! That actually could be an episode on Reno 911 or something else!

WHOOAAAH
I noticed this on my alter egos profile (I have to stay informed as to what I am doing - it's Jeckyll & Hyde sorta thing)- I thought I was the only person in NC who even heard of this band let alone listened to them.
Their later stuff strayed away from their original sound but I like everything they did up to Floodland - Vision Thing was little wobbly IMHO....kinda lost track after that.
I really like the sound of Eldrtich's voice and I only like to listen to his music after dark - It's what I call 'atmosphere music'.
I now return you to your regularly scheduled life.

HA - youngun.....I had Floodland on VINYL and Fascination Street on cassette.

Your good taste is apparently not age related - however -
I snooped around with that URL address - saw a woman youngER than me.....had a crocus on her head...

All mine are memories now - moved too many times.
Had some RARE Smiths imports too(even had Brit price tags on them).
My dad has a rather awesome direct drive linear tracking B&O turntable. Sits up right and plays records vertically.
Now I just make efforts to ensure that my kid knows what good music really is (and it ain't on the radio sadly...).
I'll quit gumming up your profile now...

I would never wear it now, but I'd like to see if it still smells like it did, back then.

THANKFULLY, she likes a lot of my old 80's stuff - Smiths B 52's (although that kinda late 70's too), Depeche Mode, early REM - her favorite band EVAR is Within Temptation.
She's a big bluegrass fan like her ol' dad, too.
We listen to a little of everything that would qualify as MUSIC - she plays the flute with her school band so we do the classical stuff too.
I haven't done the industrial thing for a while - Skinny Puppy and Minsitry (Revolting C ocks (stupid filter)) - I always preferred guitar driven stuff over all.
Back in the REM days I liked a band out of Raleigh called The Connells - used to follow the Sex Police out of Chapel Hill -cool funk sound with horns(lead singer went on to Squirrel Nut Zippers)- Dillon Fence out of Dillon SC - Big Dipper from Boston MA - Fetchin Bones from Charlotte - the local triangle music scene used to be fantastic..
I could go on and on and on and.......
