I understand, and I wanted you to do what felt right and best for you. It is not the beginning or the end that matters, .... it is the journey, .... and you were so worth it. I'll never forget you and you have become a part of me. I'll be open to you if you ever have a change of heart, however long, however far away... one last song:

To be very clear: I am not angry, I do not hate you and I am not hurt. I have nothing more to say on this issue, do not wish to address it and am not interested in dealing with it. It is as of now part of my past.
I wish you happiness. I will not be returning. Sorry.
@ QuietStorm - 2 years ago
Let's just move past this transgression and both move on with our own lives. Good luck to you.

Whatever words you want me to say, ..... consider them said. I am searching desperately for all the right things to say and do so I can heal you and make amends. I know I did wrong to you, I just didn't know I was doing that at that time. I will always love you, and want the best for you no matter what, whether I'm a part of your life or not.
QS loves M - 2 years ago
You are the last person in the world I ever would have wanted to hurt. I regret this so much and I am sorry beyond words. I wish I knew how to take this hurt away from you ......... Please don't hate me and please don't stay angry at me because I don't want those negative emotions hurting you....
continued - 2 years ago
Additionally, you know I had privacy issues in the past...so re-posting things I 'said" to you on older polls (many people from other forums who also come to Ricky's 'know' me) was a major faux pas. For what purpose? To prove to some anonymous person that I am enamored by you? How self-serving.
@ QuietStorm - 2 years ago
Don't beg...nobody has asked you to.
YOU created the mountain and now you are trying to sweep it under the rug. What else do you think is going on here? More than meets the eye? Fess up as I am clueless. I don't know what you are inferring. That I am with J? I've told you that I am. No big secret.
You seem so consumed by how you are being perceived and how you feel that you ignore the damage you cause. I have a feeling that this must be a recurring pattern for you and I admit, I find it very immature on your part.
I understand all that you have "said". Any man should have defended you? Defended you against what? NOBODY was attacking you...it is your' mis-perception'. You appeared to be the perpetrator to me. Sorry.
You exercised very poor judgment and now you think you can say "I'm sorry" and it is only "one small thing" "a small hurdle" "small trespass". I am not angry at you as much as surprised and disappointed. I feel I am honest about myself and upfront about my many shortcomings and deficiencies ---but are you?
My objective is not to make you feel badly for anything you have done or to convince you of anything you are not prepared to accept...I do not like to hurt people. Frankly, I think many men would just ignore you and not care--I am trying to explain this to you because you seem very fragile and sensitive now and I don't want to ignore you completely.
You should have known better than to advertise my expressions on this new poll...whether or not they were made on a public board. I've told you time and again that I am very busy and that this board is a huge distraction for me. It is unhealthy for me to stay here.
QuietStorm - 2 years ago
LOOK !! You keep interpreting things differently and looking for fault in me. I'm not going to beg anymore. I've said I'm sorry and I meant it. I AM NOT BLAMING YOU FOR ONE DAMN THING SO GET OFF OF THAT! Either you want me or you don't! Either you look back over the year we have known each other and see the good times and tender times we had and felt for each other or you don't. If I'm not good for you and someone you can trust, ... by all means you should walk away. Something tells me there is more going on here than meets the eye, because you are working over time to make a mountain out of a mole hill. You're too eager to throw it all away over one small thing. AND YES, this should have been treated as a small hurdle that we both learn from about each other, and get over. This feels to me like it is being used as an excuse to pull the plug. So what's really going on with you? This whole thing is ridiculous and stupid. Any man that cared about me should have defended me and understood all that I have said. Instead, it feels like you can't wait to pounce on every fricking thing I say. So I have to say I'm very disappointed in you as well. I thought you saw my value and worth as an intelligent and very caring and giving woman. I would have done anything for you.... But I need at least a forgiving and understanding partner/ friend that has a big enough heart in them to forgive this small trespass and move on. If you can't do that, then you're not right for me either. How can you not forgive me when you know I love you and didn't mean to hurt you?
. - 2 years ago
There was no "taunt". And of course I get blamed again for your actions..."you blamed me once for not being head on and confrontational and said you like that! So I stood up and fought back and now you are mad at me for that". WHAT? Do you see a a pattern here? I am blamed for your ill-thought behavior. I never told you to do anything or told you I liked anything of the kind. This is YOUR interpretation. If you believe this then quote me ACCURATELY and see if this (what you wrote in regard to this scenario) is what I meant. I dislike you placing blame for your actions on me and I will humor you no more. At least I own up to my actions without blaming others. J was right---I need to distance myself from this place.. I asked you many times to let me leave here and you did not. Okay--I won't fault you. But I now have the strength and the fortitude to leave on my own.
QuietStorm - 2 years ago
No , this isn't your fault. I'm not saying that. I made peace with both of them and thought it was over. Then a pack formed and they both came after me. How can you not see that? Jesus, honey! Show me some understanding and compassion please! I tried to do the right thing and walk away. Yes, looking back, I should have just ignored the taunt and walk away. But then you blamed me once for not being head on and confrontational, and said you like that! So I stood up and fought back and now you're mad at me for that! I'm feeling regrets this all turned out like it did because I had no idea at the time you would feel this way! How could I know? I wish I would have just walked away. All I can do now is again say I'm sorry. It was not my intention to hurt you and you know that....
UGH! - 2 years ago
So it is my fault that you did this?...Blaming me by telling me "I was tired of being on public display, yet you preferred this"...please...don't blame me! Trust me...I am glad I waited to go private with you and that it never came to that point. Sorry.
I am perfectly calm. Perfectly. You ARE NOT under attack by these women...Nobody attacked you. YOU re-read your own posts!
QS loves M - 2 years ago
I gave you my email and twitter a long time ago, at risk to me so we could go private. I also expressed that I was tired of being on public display, yet you preferred this. Well, none of this would have happened had we done that. Please keep that in mind while you remain upset with me.... Jesus Christ! You care what people think of Crystal and fight back! I thought I was also defending you as well! Re-read my posts! I defended you and said nothing negative about you! I know and understand now that you feel violated! I'M SORRY! Do I mean so little to you, that you can just throw me away over this? I feel YOU are the one over-reacting now! Good God! Please calm down and re-think this! I came under attack and I fought back! And you're defending how they treated me? That hurts. I had your back! I thought you would have mine....
M - 2 years ago
You simply do not get it. It has nothing to do with "feeling ashamed" It was PERSONAL and I made the grave error of posting it...trusting you. I do not approve of what you did and neither do I approve of your grievous over-reaction to Sarah and "justme' (though I do not know 'justme'). You over reacted. Why would you care what some person whom you do not know 'says' to you on a message board? Why defend yourself at my expense--Who cares?
I AM keeping this in perspective and I will not forgive you. Sorry. Good God---I wish you no ill will...but I think I may have misjudged you. I am deeply and truly sorry.
QuietStorm - 2 years ago
Of course you matter, and I wasn't done talking about this! I'm very sorry if you feel I betrayed you. I meant you no harm and you know that. There was nothing said between us on these polls that I feel ashamed of. We were both being ourselves and expressing our thoughts and feelings. I understand how you feel now, and perhaps I shouldn't have posted what I did, but I feel their doubt and questions would have kept coming at me, that is why I did it. It may not make it right, but that is why I did it. Babe, I certainly meant you no harm, and I AM sorry. But please put this incidence in perspective ... and forgive me!
M - 2 years ago
"backed up my statements with proof" Are you a lawyer? Absolutely unnecessary.... and all was done at my expense. Nice.
QS loves M - 2 years ago
Please keep in mind as well, I only listed 2 polls out of hundreds, and 1 article out of thousands. I think we will somehow survive this! LOL ..
M - 2 years ago
Great. My concerns and feelings have no legitimacy. No apologies, no 'mea culpas' only a defense of your actions. I feel betrayed and will frequent this board no more. You can defend yourself to the hilt. I apologize for any wrong doings on my part. It is really irksome that I have to find out about this from a poster on another blog. It is fine that you were impulsive ....but to defend your actions with no regrets or apologies and to not acknowledge my concerns is neither kind nor considerate.
QuietStorm - 2 years ago
What is on any of these polls that we need to hide? I don't think there will be more than a few people who would take the time to bother. People have busy lives. And the ones that do, ... so what? What does it matter what they think? We don't know them, and they don't know who we really are, so why are you concerned? Our true identities are still safe, and we certainly didn't give up any government secrets or leave instructions on how to build a bomb! This is just getting blown out of proportion. I bent over backwards to be 'nice' to both of these girls, and I came under attack, so I backed up my statements with proof. I sincerely doubt we will end up on the evening news! LOL
M - 2 years ago
These comments were not meant for people to simply peek in to read out of curiosity, and perhaps it was unwise of me to post them for all eyes to see. Yes, I understand this is a public board....but the polls are not that active. Now folks from the other polls will come here and to the other polls that you unscrupulously notated with dates, titles, etc. I did not use proper discretion and I regret it. You have invited everyone to look in here and this makes me feel most uncomfortable. I felt there was at least a certain low-level level of privacy on some of these older polls--but not now. Providing a map to anyone on Rickey's newest poll to here was wholly unnecessary. There was no need for you to defend yourself to 'JustMe' by proving that you had evidence of your claim. I agree with Sarah.
QS loves M - 2 years ago
It is Saturday morning, 10:30am my time. I always get so confused at Rickey's timeline, that's why I make a point now to mention day and time. I am guessing that your trip is winding up and you get to fly home this weekend, at least I hope that is what you get to do. I am so amazed how busy your life is......and how well you handle it. Just one more thing I admire and love about you. XOX
QS loves M - 2 years ago
I wonder why my picture didn't show up on my comment above. Anyways, I've left you two other messages, my precious one. How was your day?
QS loves M - 2 years ago
I love brown eyes, and I'm sure your eyes will look beautiful to me. It's been a busy day all around, and this is the first chance I've had at work for some down time. It is 6pm here. Hope your day went well. I imagine you are already in bed or close to it. It is very cold and windy outside. I don't mind the cold but I sure hate the wind when it picks up blowing dirt. Our mountain is really covered with snow and looks so beautiful. Were you able to get to sleep okay, and get some good rest? Don't have much time left....need to get back to work, But I should have more down time in a little while. If you're still up, drop me a line if you feel like it. I'll check back later. XX
to: Serene Gale - 2 years ago
I don't care about superficial looks as long as someone is clean, neat and takes some pride in their appearance. But I have no doubt that you are beautiful.I don't care about classic beauty. I am attracted to the person first. Stimulation is all very psychological and emotional for me. The only negative response I would have to a mate's physical appearance (And this is not willful) would be someone who is grossly overweight or obese or someone who is unkempt or grossly physically deformed. I would happily have a friendship with this person--- But I don't think anything else would occur. It's not always a matter of choice as to our physical responses.
Your eyes sound mesmerizingly and illustriously stunning. Mine are plain, everyday brown.
QS loves M - 2 years ago
Just so you know..... People are always asking me if I wear contacts, because my eye color is a little unusual. I have an outer ring in my irises that is blue/gray, then green with many gold speckles. My eyes change colors depending on lighting and what I'm wearing. Sometimes they are gold....or brown looking,...green or even blue. People comment on my eyes more than anything else....telling me they are pretty. I also get compliments on my smile,...and my very Swedish cheek bones. I'm just saying.....maybe you'll like what you see. :)

HI M., It is 6:30pm, and I am at work taking a break. I love finding your messages when I check in. This morning when I was on my computer, the format changed, and I'm finding that he must have made some adjustments since then, because it is different again from what it was. Thank you for your input, and yes, you can be my savvy computer guy 24/7. How is your trip so far, and when do you head for home? Will you get to stay in one place for at least a day or two? Also, I left you a message on the old poll.... Miss and Love You....

responded to you on the old board as well. Nighty night........
MLQS - 2 years ago
Love, at the top right of the polls page, single click Rickey's name. This should bring up all past and current polls. Sounds like you need a computer savvy guy in your life.
I do trust you. I am still sorting things out.....I can't go into it all now, nor do I want to think about it. I'd like to leave that incident behind.
Hmmmm...when did you have the chance to talk with Ellery and her friends about me? Sneaky sneaky lady! Ellery and her work crew used to VChat with me all of the time. They also frequented my work site and left me illicit messages. They maybe did it a bit too much..but they were nice. I think I am often told that I have a nice smile and nice teeth. I am compulsive about personal grooming and go to the dentist every three months. And, of course, I was blessed with very straight, even pallet.
And yes, it is getting very hot .....I am going to have a difficult time sleeping tonight. I mean that.

M., Luckily, I have this page and the 'old poll' bookmarked. I don't like this new format, and I can't find the list of polls. In particular, the one where you told me you were having erotic thoughts of "someone". So, I may have trouble finding you if you post anywhere other than these two threads.

Is it getting hot in here? Or is it just me? And, oh yesss.....I found your message!

I love it when you refer to me as "my own QS".
QS loves M - 2 years ago
M., I have no doubt about your looks being appealing and beautiful, and handsome to me. Ellery and her friend already gave me the low down on you, and said you were nice looking with a great smile. And anyway, what I have fallen in love with is who you are inside....the real you! It would be nice some day to have a picture of you, but I can be patient until you feel ready to contact me. I am curious what was said, that made you think it was me invading your work email. Do you think someone tried to imitate me, and therefore sabotage 'us'? I hope you know me well enough to know I am not capable of that kind of behavior. I have no idea what would even be the motive of something like that. And I want to say, I don't think there was more than one or two people who took any dislike of you. You were definitely more liked...than disliked, and you were absolutely loved and adored by me.
QS loves M - 2 years ago
Ahhh....I'm glad you picked Silent Tempest over Peaceful Fury. That is what I would have chosen. So, did you hide more little surprises for me? You are just so damn cute, and I love you for it..... When I tried to hide from the bullies, I chose GentleReign, but it didn't take them long to guess my identity, so I decided to trade genders, and go with the first guy name that came to mind....which happened to be 'Michael'. I wonder why that name came to mind? :) That is when Rickey outed me. I've never seen him do that before. So the foul mouth haters have free reign on here, but not someone defending Adam. Ooooh that made me mad at the time. I wonder where all those haters will go, now that Rickey probably won't be talking about Adam as much.
MLQS - 2 years ago
Now you're playing games with me. You are too sly, my dear. You know damn well that the message to 'Silent Tempest' was to my own QS. I knew you'd catch it. It was between 'Peaceful Fury' and 'Silent Tempest'. Hmmmmm...makes one wonder what other mysterious messages are hidden in the archives.
Does being only 1/2 Asian still qualify as exotic and mysterious? I am 'excited' by your narrative. Facially I appear mostly Asian--like my mother, but my hair is medium brown and I am tall --like my father--though he was blond as a young man. And did I mention I wear a size 11 shoe like him???
I have not heard from Ellery. I think she is a bit frosted at me having cut myself off from all correspondence from these boards and blogs. I was not responding to her e-mails back in Sept, Oct. and she has not tried to reach me since early Fall. I would not be surprised if she moved back to Singapore--it was always in the back of her mind. Perhaps she will pop in as the AI 9 becomes more of a pop culture obsession.
It's getting late here and I only had 4 hours of sleep last night and I have a 14 hour work day tomorrow.

Good Morning M., It is 7:30 am here. I'm sure you are well into your day where you are. I woke up thinking about you. Very pleasant thoughts....just daydreaming....a nice start to my day. I noticed that we are not the only lovebirds ( as Ellery once said ) on Rickey's. On the newest poll, ( Who's your favorite in the AI top 24? ) someone signed in, to: Silent Tempest, and just left the heart symbol

I have been meaning to ask you, if you are still in contact with Ellery? What a sweet girl. I thought I would see her name on the comments by now. Just curious if you know how she's doing....

Hi M., I am still at work, and it is almost 7pm. This job has lots of down time, so I thought I would check in. I'm going to tell you a little secret, and this is the truth. I have always had an attraction for Asian men. Not all, of course....but I have seen a number of Asian men that I thought were very handsome, and there is an Eastern mystique and exotic appeal that very much attracts me. I have never dated or been with an Asian guy. I just haven't had the opportunity. Maybe you can change that for me.... when the time is right.... :)

I've spent the morning listening to music....and thinking about you. I will be working on a college campus for at least the next 2 weeks, working from 3pm to 11pm. I will have to leave my house in a half hour. You made my day....I'm so happy to hear from you, love. Here is a song for you... Duran Duran 'Come Undone' Hmmmm...."come undone"...

I respect and understand your belief system. Astrology isn't something I fully believe in, but I like playing with it and reading my horoscope. I am somewhat shocked at how precise and close my sign fits me. Don't know what else to say about that one. As for my spiritual (not religious, as i feel it is two different subjects) beliefs, I have had too many personal experiences and witnessed out and out miracles, to not believe there is something going on. I'm really not so much into religion....and I am not so fond of Bible thumpers and born again Christians that want to conquer the world and spread their beliefs. That just causes world conflicts and can lead to war. That is the craziest thing about religion and people wanting to see the second coming of Christ....which I find total lunacy and hopefully not a self fulfilling prophecy....in the sense of people not caring if we're destroying this planet...cause that just means Jesus will come faster. I hope I explained that thought clear enough that you can see what I'm trying to say. More wars have been fought over religious beliefs than any other reason, and that is just plain insanity and so tragic. I would love someday to sit face to face with you and have a discussion about all the things we have experienced in this life. I still believe we are only scratching the surface on so many things that exist, but we can't fully comprehend yet. I am completely mesmerized and in love with life....as I am with you too. I wish I could kiss and embrace you before you leave on your trip....you didn't mention where you are off to,...and I'm guessing you will be gone for 7 to 10 days? Sigh.....I will miss you! Would love to hear from you if you find a chance to write a few lines or thoughts. XOX Take Care....Love You...
One last thought....Einstein said, "There are only two ways to live your life...The belief that there are no miracles.....Or the belief that everything is a miracle." Guess which one I believe in?

I would not be mad at you over something so slight. Some odd things occurred a few months back with re to my blogging on this site. I seem to rub many people the wrong way, I suppose. So if I seem hesitant, please understand. My father was from England, but of Germanic descent. My last name is German-sounding, not English. I cannot believe you remember that I lived in England for a spell and that my father was from England.
Traveling has been hell..... most recently I've been assigned to Calif, Japan, Sweden and Toronto. I am all over the map in March. I do not really enjoy flying,... don't think much about it... but am certainly not fearful. Commercial air flight is very safe. I have been flying since I was a kid--all over Europe and Asia--so I remain undaunted. Terrorism is pretty rare and I feel worrying about it is unfounded. Don't waste your time praying for me, I am neither religious nor spiritual. Too many bad things happen for me to support the idea of a benevolent God/force. To me, faith is for those who cannot offer proof or reason for their beliefs. I don't believe "astrological signs" have any meaning. Sorry. I am pretty concrete and scientific.
My middle name is Chinese (Taiwanese) and translates to "hope, wish". Maybe you can guess?
To reiterate, I am not upset with you. But I still might want to take a rain check on that spanking, if you don't mind.
I'll be away from here again for a while. Traveling overseas beginning tomorrow.

M., I have never talked to you under any other names other than QS. Please don't take offense...as none was intended. I just thought you might be trying to tell me your last name in a round about way. This Tanney guy holds the same opinions as you and I, and Tanney is a very nice English name, which I'm guessing, you hold an English name from your father being English. I'm very sorry....please don't be mad at me. You can be so clever and playful (which I love and adore) and......I guessed wrong. Forgive me? I know how sensitive you are about identities, and I'm going to feel absolutely miserable if you're upset with me. Babe, I LOVE being playful and teasing with you in the ways that make us both smile....you know what I'm talking about, you are so damn cute with your humor, and I love the way you talk to me..... Please let me know if I'm forgiven...my mind just went in the wrong direction. I'm Aquarius, and my mind is always searching for answers to things, it's a blessing and a curse. I hope someday I can know your full name. You know my first and last name....my middle name is Kay.
Where have your travels been taking you to, and where are you off to tomorrow? Have you ever had a scary incident while you were flying? When I hear of hijackings or plane problems....I always think of you, and have to admit I worry about something happening to you...God forbid. I do say prayers asking for you to be kept safe. Hope you don't mind. Not sure what my definition of God is.....but truly I believe there is some kind of all knowing Intelligent force at work...and part of that proof lies in the miracle that I feel you are. I assure you....that you are more loved and valued than you will ever know...by your family...and from myself as well.
And if you are upset with me in any way, you can spank me.....okay?!! Love you
MLQS - 2 years ago
"Teasing and playing with you"? I am befuddled as to what you are implying. I think, perhaps, that I am (or was) the one being teased and played with? Yes? Have you posted under any other names in the past? It's okay to tell me now, it doesn't matter. People love playing games here--not you--but others.
I am not able to check in here as often due to my schedule. I just arrived home and am on my way out again tomorrow....my schedule and work will calm in the summer.

M., ?? Hope you're doing okay. I miss you.... Also wanted to tell you that I have the cd that INXS put out with the guy (J.D. Fortune) that now replaces Michael Hutchence as their lead singer. It's really good, and I keep it in my car. There are two songs that are my favorites. One of them is called 'God's Top Ten', and it is a tribute to the life of Michael. The video's of it are really touching as they show clips and photos of him. The other song I really like is 'Afterglow'. Hope you like them. And, did I mention that I miss you? Cause,....I do.

Since this is Valentine's Day, I thought you ought to know, that my thoughts and love go only to you. Would you like to know when I first started to fall for you? It was when I asked you what you thought your faults were, and you wrote out a very long list and were quite brutal and honest about yourself. I thought your "faults" were beautiful, and no faults at all. You were brave enough to show yourself to me, and that is when I felt a true stirring of my emotions and my heart wanting to know more of you, and a true desire to bond and connect with you, and to let you enter my life. I never would have dreamed of looking for someone on the internet, and I think it is a risky and crazy idea at best. And yet, I found you.....and I have no doubt or fear as to who you are. I know you to be real and everything you have presented yourself to be. We are alike in so many ways, and it feels to me like there is something leading us here...."despite our destinations" (sound familiar?) Is it something shimmering and white? All I know is that I feel a mysterious and deep connection to you....and I really do love you....even though I have yet to look into your eyes, or to know your last name. How crazy is that? We make Romeo and Juliet look like sane people. LOL And yet, I really do believe there is "something" guiding us along.....and we have been brought together for a reason. All I know is, you bring great joy and bliss to my life...and I love you.

Beautiful song choice, babe....thank you! So tragic that Michael Hutchence killed himself. He was the same age you are now. He was so handsome, talented, and I love his voice.
I'm so happy to hear from you. I hope the week went well, and you have a chance to enjoy the weekend and rest up. I admire you to no end, for the love and devotion you have for your brother,....that touches my heart, and I love you for being exactly who you are. What happens in June or July? Are you talking about less travel? I hope this caretaker is loving, kind, and doing his/her job the way they should be doing it. There are so many horror stories about these kinds of situations. I have no doubt you did your homework on this person. Please know, you never have to fake anything you're feeling with me. If you're down,....talk to me about it. I'm here for you, and I've got your back....always! Love you.

But I am happy that he is near me and that I can help him. Had to hire someone to 'caretake' full time while I travel---- which is currently 80% of my life now.....but this is only until June or July. It has been a hard, difficult 6 months for me...but there is light. See! I CAN be optimistic and positive too! Or at least fake it.
Ummmm... how about INXS? 'Never Tear Us Apart'?
QS loves M - 2 years ago
Hello my future lover. How was your day, jelly bean? How is it going with your brother? Is he okay by himself when you have to travel? It was a long day for me, but a good day. So glad to be home....and talking to you. Wish you were here to give me a back rub. I would of course....return the favor and make you feel good. And I mean........really good!

Slow dancing? How am I? terrible. As I confessed, I am not a dancer. And as I wrote, I am very rhythymic and coordianted in my movements--but not when vertically poised. Horizontally? Well...that's another story.
Not so sure about a "demonstration" since that would employ you only to watch, perhaps a hands-on tutorial?
jen - 2 years ago
Oo-lala, MLQS, are you talking about the dirty deed? Hot and steamy here over at this poll. I need a fan.
Judging form the Hollywood week, I say it has to be a girl this year. Girl power!! They far outweigh the boys talent wise. And we know, after Adam Lambert, no guy is gonna look too great this season.
QS loves M - 2 years ago
M, ... What's it to me? It's everything....because it came from you, and you know how to touch me deeply inside, and I love you for making me feel the way I do when I think about you. I haven't felt those kind of feelings and the stir of emotions you bring to life in me...in a very long time. Truth is....I shut myself down emotionally to protect myself for many moons. A REAL long time! I hope that doesn't scare you,... I'm just saying I feel a connection to you that runs very deep, and I hope you choose to stay in my life. And, if you only knew the steamy thoughts I've had about you....
Now, about this dance thing.... How are you at slow dancing? (I'm loving your humor about the rhythmic thing. Perhaps you can give me a demonstration sometime in the future....
MLQS - 2 years ago
Trust me, you do NOT want to see a tall, skinny Asian dude dance. . not this one, anyway. Not to say that I cannot move rhythmically...Oh, I can...... Just not vertically. ;)
I may have sent you some of those lyrics. What's it to you, lady?? ;)

The top 3 should have been Adam, Allison, Danny. I don't agree with your criticism of Adam as he was clearly better than Allison, Danny and Kris. I think Danny made mistakes, but was deserving of the number 2 spot. And yes, Allison should have been number 3, certainly better than Kris. All in all when compared to past years...not a BAD top 3. NOT the best, but better than most years!
bwatt27 - 2 years ago
Last year's Top 3 was terrible. I stand by that. I was a HUGE Allison fan, and she was Top 4! got cut because of Gokey's screech from hell. Kris was my second favorite, and his album sales have been terrible. Adam I cannot stand. Gokey, don't even get me started.
Seriously, this years top 3 has to trump that mess.

M., ...Where did you go? Talk to me.... Here is a feel good song for you... John Mellencamp's 'Check It Out'. I would love to see you dancing to this!
QS loves M - 2 years ago
Hi JC! I'm happy to see you took your original name back. I always liked it best of all, even though Jesthena was a good name as well. How are you? Is there a new guy in your life yet? I really miss everyone. I wish ck would make at least one appearance so we know she's okay. She was having some serious health problems the last we heard from her, so I'm worried she might not even be alive anymore. I would love it if we could all pick up where we left off. M. and I have been battling the Adam bashers on Rickey's other threads. I was becoming a real lightning rod for some of the bullies who were zeroing in on me, so I tried changing my name and Rickey ratted me out and exposed me. He is such a little weasel. I know damn well the haters were changing identities, but he's protecting them. So unfair. With all that said, I am still very grateful for Rickey's simply because I met some wonderful people here, like you and especially M., who I hold the deepest affection for, in case you couldn't tell. LOL

OMG you guys are back! How have you been? I've been pretty impressed with the guest judges so far..
QS loves M - 2 years ago
You are putting the biggest smile on my face M! I found the other thread just a little while ago where you left me yet another message, and I left you a little message there too. I hope you are peeking in on my twitter because I have a message for you there as well. I want to talk to you so badly jelly bean. I just want to hear you say that you're okay,....that would mean a lot to me. Of course, anything you want to talk about would delight me to the moon and back. And I am still dying to find out if you left those song lyrics, or if it's Optimal Bob aka King Herod pining away for ck that did that.
M loves QS - 2 years ago
@bwatt. You nuts, girl! Last years' top 3, with the exception of Kris Allen who was mediocore talent-wise, was pretty good. Adam was excellent--dubbed by all as the "best that American Idol ever had", and Danny Gokey, despite his personality quirks, had decent vocals for sure. You must be an Adam hater like Rickey. If you are an Adam hater--you are at the right site. This is not an Adam Friendly board. The blog owner makes that quite apparent.
Jesus Christ - 2 years ago
Are you kidding? Adam Lambert was amazing and he was in the top 3 last year and so was allison iraheta (not that anyone will remember her 3 years from now...)
bwatt27 - 2 years ago
I'm sure it is too early to tell, but just saying, the girls are WAY more impressive. No guys have stood out and have all lacked star quality in my opinion. Besides, I want a girl winner this year. Last years Top 3 was just terrible.
Kristian - 2 years ago
I also think it's quite too early to tell.
But so far, my favorite is Andrew Garcia.
Amber - 2 years ago
I still think it's too early to tell.
bwatt27 - 2 years ago
After the auditions thus far, it has to be a female winner. Only the girls have been good thus far, and more of them have been featured.
I understand, and I wanted you to do what felt right and best for you. It is not the beginning or the end that matters, .... it is the journey, .... and you were so worth it. I'll never forget you and you have become a part of me. I'll be open to you if you ever have a change of heart, however long, however far away... one last song:
The Captain Of Her Heart ... by Double
To be very clear: I am not angry, I do not hate you and I am not hurt. I have nothing more to say on this issue, do not wish to address it and am not interested in dealing with it. It is as of now part of my past.
I wish you happiness. I will not be returning. Sorry.
Let's just move past this transgression and both move on with our own lives. Good luck to you.
Whatever words you want me to say, ..... consider them said. I am searching desperately for all the right things to say and do so I can heal you and make amends. I know I did wrong to you, I just didn't know I was doing that at that time. I will always love you, and want the best for you no matter what, whether I'm a part of your life or not.
You are the last person in the world I ever would have wanted to hurt. I regret this so much and I am sorry beyond words. I wish I knew how to take this hurt away from you ......... Please don't hate me and please don't stay angry at me because I don't want those negative emotions hurting you....
Additionally, you know I had privacy issues in the past...so re-posting things I 'said" to you on older polls (many people from other forums who also come to Ricky's 'know' me) was a major faux pas. For what purpose? To prove to some anonymous person that I am enamored by you? How self-serving.
Don't beg...nobody has asked you to.
YOU created the mountain and now you are trying to sweep it under the rug. What else do you think is going on here? More than meets the eye? Fess up as I am clueless. I don't know what you are inferring. That I am with J? I've told you that I am. No big secret.
You seem so consumed by how you are being perceived and how you feel that you ignore the damage you cause. I have a feeling that this must be a recurring pattern for you and I admit, I find it very immature on your part.
I understand all that you have "said". Any man should have defended you? Defended you against what? NOBODY was attacking you...it is your' mis-perception'. You appeared to be the perpetrator to me. Sorry.
You exercised very poor judgment and now you think you can say "I'm sorry" and it is only "one small thing" "a small hurdle" "small trespass". I am not angry at you as much as surprised and disappointed. I feel I am honest about myself and upfront about my many shortcomings and deficiencies ---but are you?
My objective is not to make you feel badly for anything you have done or to convince you of anything you are not prepared to accept...I do not like to hurt people. Frankly, I think many men would just ignore you and not care--I am trying to explain this to you because you seem very fragile and sensitive now and I don't want to ignore you completely.
You should have known better than to advertise my expressions on this new poll...whether or not they were made on a public board. I've told you time and again that I am very busy and that this board is a huge distraction for me. It is unhealthy for me to stay here.
LOOK !! You keep interpreting things differently and looking for fault in me. I'm not going to beg anymore. I've said I'm sorry and I meant it. I AM NOT BLAMING YOU FOR ONE DAMN THING SO GET OFF OF THAT! Either you want me or you don't! Either you look back over the year we have known each other and see the good times and tender times we had and felt for each other or you don't. If I'm not good for you and someone you can trust, ... by all means you should walk away. Something tells me there is more going on here than meets the eye, because you are working over time to make a mountain out of a mole hill. You're too eager to throw it all away over one small thing. AND YES, this should have been treated as a small hurdle that we both learn from about each other, and get over. This feels to me like it is being used as an excuse to pull the plug. So what's really going on with you? This whole thing is ridiculous and stupid. Any man that cared about me should have defended me and understood all that I have said. Instead, it feels like you can't wait to pounce on every fricking thing I say. So I have to say I'm very disappointed in you as well. I thought you saw my value and worth as an intelligent and very caring and giving woman. I would have done anything for you.... But I need at least a forgiving and understanding partner/ friend that has a big enough heart in them to forgive this small trespass and move on. If you can't do that, then you're not right for me either. How can you not forgive me when you know I love you and didn't mean to hurt you?
There was no "taunt". And of course I get blamed again for your actions..."you blamed me once for not being head on and confrontational and said you like that! So I stood up and fought back and now you are mad at me for that". WHAT? Do you see a a pattern here? I am blamed for your ill-thought behavior. I never told you to do anything or told you I liked anything of the kind. This is YOUR interpretation. If you believe this then quote me ACCURATELY and see if this (what you wrote in regard to this scenario) is what I meant. I dislike you placing blame for your actions on me and I will humor you no more. At least I own up to my actions without blaming others. J was right---I need to distance myself from this place.. I asked you many times to let me leave here and you did not. Okay--I won't fault you. But I now have the strength and the fortitude to leave on my own.
No , this isn't your fault. I'm not saying that. I made peace with both of them and thought it was over. Then a pack formed and they both came after me. How can you not see that? Jesus, honey! Show me some understanding and compassion please! I tried to do the right thing and walk away. Yes, looking back, I should have just ignored the taunt and walk away. But then you blamed me once for not being head on and confrontational, and said you like that! So I stood up and fought back and now you're mad at me for that! I'm feeling regrets this all turned out like it did because I had no idea at the time you would feel this way! How could I know? I wish I would have just walked away. All I can do now is again say I'm sorry. It was not my intention to hurt you and you know that....
So it is my fault that you did this?...Blaming me by telling me "I was tired of being on public display, yet you preferred this"...please...don't blame me! Trust me...I am glad I waited to go private with you and that it never came to that point. Sorry.
I am perfectly calm. Perfectly. You ARE NOT under attack by these women...Nobody attacked you. YOU re-read your own posts!
I gave you my email and twitter a long time ago, at risk to me so we could go private. I also expressed that I was tired of being on public display, yet you preferred this. Well, none of this would have happened had we done that. Please keep that in mind while you remain upset with me.... Jesus Christ! You care what people think of Crystal and fight back! I thought I was also defending you as well! Re-read my posts! I defended you and said nothing negative about you! I know and understand now that you feel violated! I'M SORRY! Do I mean so little to you, that you can just throw me away over this? I feel YOU are the one over-reacting now! Good God! Please calm down and re-think this! I came under attack and I fought back! And you're defending how they treated me? That hurts. I had your back! I thought you would have mine....
You simply do not get it. It has nothing to do with "feeling ashamed" It was PERSONAL and I made the grave error of posting it...trusting you. I do not approve of what you did and neither do I approve of your grievous over-reaction to Sarah and "justme' (though I do not know 'justme'). You over reacted. Why would you care what some person whom you do not know 'says' to you on a message board? Why defend yourself at my expense--Who cares?
I AM keeping this in perspective and I will not forgive you. Sorry. Good God---I wish you no ill will...but I think I may have misjudged you. I am deeply and truly sorry.
Of course you matter, and I wasn't done talking about this! I'm very sorry if you feel I betrayed you. I meant you no harm and you know that. There was nothing said between us on these polls that I feel ashamed of. We were both being ourselves and expressing our thoughts and feelings. I understand how you feel now, and perhaps I shouldn't have posted what I did, but I feel their doubt and questions would have kept coming at me, that is why I did it. It may not make it right, but that is why I did it. Babe, I certainly meant you no harm, and I AM sorry. But please put this incidence in perspective ... and forgive me!
"backed up my statements with proof" Are you a lawyer? Absolutely unnecessary.... and all was done at my expense. Nice.
Please keep in mind as well, I only listed 2 polls out of hundreds, and 1 article out of thousands. I think we will somehow survive this! LOL ..
Great. My concerns and feelings have no legitimacy. No apologies, no 'mea culpas' only a defense of your actions. I feel betrayed and will frequent this board no more. You can defend yourself to the hilt. I apologize for any wrong doings on my part. It is really irksome that I have to find out about this from a poster on another blog. It is fine that you were impulsive ....but to defend your actions with no regrets or apologies and to not acknowledge my concerns is neither kind nor considerate.
What is on any of these polls that we need to hide? I don't think there will be more than a few people who would take the time to bother. People have busy lives. And the ones that do, ... so what? What does it matter what they think? We don't know them, and they don't know who we really are, so why are you concerned? Our true identities are still safe, and we certainly didn't give up any government secrets or leave instructions on how to build a bomb! This is just getting blown out of proportion. I bent over backwards to be 'nice' to both of these girls, and I came under attack, so I backed up my statements with proof. I sincerely doubt we will end up on the evening news! LOL
These comments were not meant for people to simply peek in to read out of curiosity, and perhaps it was unwise of me to post them for all eyes to see. Yes, I understand this is a public board....but the polls are not that active. Now folks from the other polls will come here and to the other polls that you unscrupulously notated with dates, titles, etc. I did not use proper discretion and I regret it. You have invited everyone to look in here and this makes me feel most uncomfortable. I felt there was at least a certain low-level level of privacy on some of these older polls--but not now. Providing a map to anyone on Rickey's newest poll to here was wholly unnecessary. There was no need for you to defend yourself to 'JustMe' by proving that you had evidence of your claim. I agree with Sarah.
It is Saturday morning, 10:30am my time. I always get so confused at Rickey's timeline, that's why I make a point now to mention day and time. I am guessing that your trip is winding up and you get to fly home this weekend, at least I hope that is what you get to do. I am so amazed how busy your life is......and how well you handle it. Just one more thing I admire and love about you. XOX
I wonder why my picture didn't show up on my comment above. Anyways, I've left you two other messages, my precious one. How was your day?
I love brown eyes, and I'm sure your eyes will look beautiful to me. It's been a busy day all around, and this is the first chance I've had at work for some down time. It is 6pm here. Hope your day went well. I imagine you are already in bed or close to it. It is very cold and windy outside. I don't mind the cold but I sure hate the wind when it picks up blowing dirt. Our mountain is really covered with snow and looks so beautiful. Were you able to get to sleep okay, and get some good rest? Don't have much time left....need to get back to work, But I should have more down time in a little while. If you're still up, drop me a line if you feel like it. I'll check back later. XX
I don't care about superficial looks as long as someone is clean, neat and takes some pride in their appearance. But I have no doubt that you are beautiful.I don't care about classic beauty. I am attracted to the person first. Stimulation is all very psychological and emotional for me. The only negative response I would have to a mate's physical appearance (And this is not willful) would be someone who is grossly overweight or obese or someone who is unkempt or grossly physically deformed. I would happily have a friendship with this person--- But I don't think anything else would occur. It's not always a matter of choice as to our physical responses.
Your eyes sound mesmerizingly and illustriously stunning. Mine are plain, everyday brown.
Just so you know..... People are always asking me if I wear contacts, because my eye color is a little unusual. I have an outer ring in my irises that is blue/gray, then green with many gold speckles. My eyes change colors depending on lighting and what I'm wearing. Sometimes they are gold....or brown looking,...green or even blue. People comment on my eyes more than anything else....telling me they are pretty. I also get compliments on my smile,...and my very Swedish cheek bones. I'm just saying.....maybe you'll like what you see. :)
HI M., It is 6:30pm, and I am at work taking a break. I love finding your messages when I check in. This morning when I was on my computer, the format changed, and I'm finding that he must have made some adjustments since then, because it is different again from what it was. Thank you for your input, and yes, you can be my savvy computer guy 24/7. How is your trip so far, and when do you head for home? Will you get to stay in one place for at least a day or two? Also, I left you a message on the old poll.... Miss and Love You....
responded to you on the old board as well. Nighty night........
Love, at the top right of the polls page, single click Rickey's name. This should bring up all past and current polls. Sounds like you need a computer savvy guy in your life.
I do trust you. I am still sorting things out.....I can't go into it all now, nor do I want to think about it. I'd like to leave that incident behind.
Hmmmm...when did you have the chance to talk with Ellery and her friends about me? Sneaky sneaky lady! Ellery and her work crew used to VChat with me all of the time. They also frequented my work site and left me illicit messages. They maybe did it a bit too much..but they were nice. I think I am often told that I have a nice smile and nice teeth. I am compulsive about personal grooming and go to the dentist every three months. And, of course, I was blessed with very straight, even pallet.
And yes, it is getting very hot .....I am going to have a difficult time sleeping tonight. I mean that.
x
M., Luckily, I have this page and the 'old poll' bookmarked. I don't like this new format, and I can't find the list of polls. In particular, the one where you told me you were having erotic thoughts of "someone". So, I may have trouble finding you if you post anywhere other than these two threads.
Is it getting hot in here? Or is it just me? And, oh yesss.....I found your message!
Still haven't found my other cryptic message on the "old" poll......
I love it when you refer to me as "my own QS".
M., I have no doubt about your looks being appealing and beautiful, and handsome to me. Ellery and her friend already gave me the low down on you, and said you were nice looking with a great smile. And anyway, what I have fallen in love with is who you are inside....the real you! It would be nice some day to have a picture of you, but I can be patient until you feel ready to contact me. I am curious what was said, that made you think it was me invading your work email. Do you think someone tried to imitate me, and therefore sabotage 'us'? I hope you know me well enough to know I am not capable of that kind of behavior. I have no idea what would even be the motive of something like that. And I want to say, I don't think there was more than one or two people who took any dislike of you. You were definitely more liked...than disliked, and you were absolutely loved and adored by me.
Ahhh....I'm glad you picked Silent Tempest over Peaceful Fury. That is what I would have chosen. So, did you hide more little surprises for me? You are just so damn cute, and I love you for it..... When I tried to hide from the bullies, I chose GentleReign, but it didn't take them long to guess my identity, so I decided to trade genders, and go with the first guy name that came to mind....which happened to be 'Michael'. I wonder why that name came to mind? :) That is when Rickey outed me. I've never seen him do that before. So the foul mouth haters have free reign on here, but not someone defending Adam. Ooooh that made me mad at the time. I wonder where all those haters will go, now that Rickey probably won't be talking about Adam as much.
Now you're playing games with me. You are too sly, my dear. You know damn well that the message to 'Silent Tempest' was to my own QS. I knew you'd catch it. It was between 'Peaceful Fury' and 'Silent Tempest'. Hmmmmm...makes one wonder what other mysterious messages are hidden in the archives.
Does being only 1/2 Asian still qualify as exotic and mysterious? I am 'excited' by your narrative. Facially I appear mostly Asian--like my mother, but my hair is medium brown and I am tall --like my father--though he was blond as a young man. And did I mention I wear a size 11 shoe like him???
I have not heard from Ellery. I think she is a bit frosted at me having cut myself off from all correspondence from these boards and blogs. I was not responding to her e-mails back in Sept, Oct. and she has not tried to reach me since early Fall. I would not be surprised if she moved back to Singapore--it was always in the back of her mind. Perhaps she will pop in as the AI 9 becomes more of a pop culture obsession.
It's getting late here and I only had 4 hours of sleep last night and I have a 14 hour work day tomorrow.
x
Good Morning M., It is 7:30 am here. I'm sure you are well into your day where you are. I woke up thinking about you. Very pleasant thoughts....just daydreaming....a nice start to my day. I noticed that we are not the only lovebirds ( as Ellery once said ) on Rickey's. On the newest poll, ( Who's your favorite in the AI top 24? ) someone signed in, to: Silent Tempest, and just left the heart symbol
I have been meaning to ask you, if you are still in contact with Ellery? What a sweet girl. I thought I would see her name on the comments by now. Just curious if you know how she's doing....
Hi M., I am still at work, and it is almost 7pm. This job has lots of down time, so I thought I would check in. I'm going to tell you a little secret, and this is the truth. I have always had an attraction for Asian men. Not all, of course....but I have seen a number of Asian men that I thought were very handsome, and there is an Eastern mystique and exotic appeal that very much attracts me. I have never dated or been with an Asian guy. I just haven't had the opportunity. Maybe you can change that for me.... when the time is right.... :)
Oh, and that was a suggestive 'wink wink'.
You guessed the current locale and the middle name.
Regarding the East Asian apparatus issue--I can only speak from personal experience, not for my entire race. wink wink
Off to dinner. It is getting late here. I've been obsessed lately...had a bit more time than usual to pursue you. I expect that I won't be popping in as much effective later this week....life gets in the way again.....
x
Does your middle name begin with W, and end with G ? :)
If you could only see my smile.... I'm sure you know that, of which you speak. Where are you? I am guessing Stockholm. Hope you had a good trip over, and your work is going well. I miss you already. I've spent the morning listening to music....and thinking about you. I will be working on a college campus for at least the next 2 weeks, working from 3pm to 11pm. I will have to leave my house in a half hour. You made my day....I'm so happy to hear from you, love. Here is a song for you... Duran Duran 'Come Undone' Hmmmm...."come undone"... Just what I wish I could do to the buttons on your shirt..... :)
And in regard to Ricky's piece on John Gosselin and Asian 'unit' size, I can assure you...that's not always true ;)
I love ee cummings! That is so beautiful....and thought provoking! Thank you, M. I'm so happy you like poetry and the lyrics of songs. It absolutely thrills me to go deep into thought and ponder the meanings, and to feel the absolute beauty and meaning of the words themselves. It's magical!
If you get lonely on your trip....think of me...I'll be right there with you
I respect and understand your belief system. Astrology isn't something I fully believe in, but I like playing with it and reading my horoscope. I am somewhat shocked at how precise and close my sign fits me. Don't know what else to say about that one. As for my spiritual (not religious, as i feel it is two different subjects) beliefs, I have had too many personal experiences and witnessed out and out miracles, to not believe there is something going on. I'm really not so much into religion....and I am not so fond of Bible thumpers and born again Christians that want to conquer the world and spread their beliefs. That just causes world conflicts and can lead to war. That is the craziest thing about religion and people wanting to see the second coming of Christ....which I find total lunacy and hopefully not a self fulfilling prophecy....in the sense of people not caring if we're destroying this planet...cause that just means Jesus will come faster. I hope I explained that thought clear enough that you can see what I'm trying to say. More wars have been fought over religious beliefs than any other reason, and that is just plain insanity and so tragic. I would love someday to sit face to face with you and have a discussion about all the things we have experienced in this life. I still believe we are only scratching the surface on so many things that exist, but we can't fully comprehend yet. I am completely mesmerized and in love with life....as I am with you too. I wish I could kiss and embrace you before you leave on your trip....you didn't mention where you are off to,...and I'm guessing you will be gone for 7 to 10 days? Sigh.....I will miss you! Would love to hear from you if you find a chance to write a few lines or thoughts. XOX Take Care....Love You...
One last thought....Einstein said, "There are only two ways to live your life...The belief that there are no miracles.....Or the belief that everything is a miracle." Guess which one I believe in?
"(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or the mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart...."
I would not be mad at you over something so slight. Some odd things occurred a few months back with re to my blogging on this site. I seem to rub many people the wrong way, I suppose. So if I seem hesitant, please understand. My father was from England, but of Germanic descent. My last name is German-sounding, not English. I cannot believe you remember that I lived in England for a spell and that my father was from England.
Traveling has been hell..... most recently I've been assigned to Calif, Japan, Sweden and Toronto. I am all over the map in March. I do not really enjoy flying,... don't think much about it... but am certainly not fearful. Commercial air flight is very safe. I have been flying since I was a kid--all over Europe and Asia--so I remain undaunted. Terrorism is pretty rare and I feel worrying about it is unfounded. Don't waste your time praying for me, I am neither religious nor spiritual. Too many bad things happen for me to support the idea of a benevolent God/force. To me, faith is for those who cannot offer proof or reason for their beliefs. I don't believe "astrological signs" have any meaning. Sorry. I am pretty concrete and scientific.
My middle name is Chinese (Taiwanese) and translates to "hope, wish". Maybe you can guess?
To reiterate, I am not upset with you. But I still might want to take a rain check on that spanking, if you don't mind.
I'll be away from here again for a while. Traveling overseas beginning tomorrow.
x
M., I have never talked to you under any other names other than QS. Please don't take offense...as none was intended. I just thought you might be trying to tell me your last name in a round about way. This Tanney guy holds the same opinions as you and I, and Tanney is a very nice English name, which I'm guessing, you hold an English name from your father being English. I'm very sorry....please don't be mad at me. You can be so clever and playful (which I love and adore) and......I guessed wrong. Forgive me? I know how sensitive you are about identities, and I'm going to feel absolutely miserable if you're upset with me. Babe, I LOVE being playful and teasing with you in the ways that make us both smile....you know what I'm talking about, you are so damn cute with your humor, and I love the way you talk to me..... Please let me know if I'm forgiven...my mind just went in the wrong direction. I'm Aquarius, and my mind is always searching for answers to things, it's a blessing and a curse. I hope someday I can know your full name. You know my first and last name....my middle name is Kay.
Where have your travels been taking you to, and where are you off to tomorrow? Have you ever had a scary incident while you were flying? When I hear of hijackings or plane problems....I always think of you, and have to admit I worry about something happening to you...God forbid. I do say prayers asking for you to be kept safe. Hope you don't mind. Not sure what my definition of God is.....but truly I believe there is some kind of all knowing Intelligent force at work...and part of that proof lies in the miracle that I feel you are. I assure you....that you are more loved and valued than you will ever know...by your family...and from myself as well.
And if you are upset with me in any way, you can spank me.....okay?!! Love you
"Teasing and playing with you"? I am befuddled as to what you are implying. I think, perhaps, that I am (or was) the one being teased and played with? Yes? Have you posted under any other names in the past? It's okay to tell me now, it doesn't matter. People love playing games here--not you--but others.
I am not able to check in here as often due to my schedule. I just arrived home and am on my way out again tomorrow....my schedule and work will calm in the summer.

M., ?? Hope you're doing okay. I miss you.... Also wanted to tell you that I have the cd that INXS put out with the guy (J.D. Fortune) that now replaces Michael Hutchence as their lead singer. It's really good, and I keep it in my car. There are two songs that are my favorites. One of them is called 'God's Top Ten', and it is a tribute to the life of Michael. The video's of it are really touching as they show clips and photos of him. The other song I really like is 'Afterglow'. Hope you like them. And, did I mention that I miss you? Cause,....I do.
M ? Are you teasing and playing with me? *-*
Oh wow. I'd like to meet this guy :)
Since this is Valentine's Day, I thought you ought to know, that my thoughts and love go only to you. Would you like to know when I first started to fall for you? It was when I asked you what you thought your faults were, and you wrote out a very long list and were quite brutal and honest about yourself. I thought your "faults" were beautiful, and no faults at all. You were brave enough to show yourself to me, and that is when I felt a true stirring of my emotions and my heart wanting to know more of you, and a true desire to bond and connect with you, and to let you enter my life. I never would have dreamed of looking for someone on the internet, and I think it is a risky and crazy idea at best. And yet, I found you.....and I have no doubt or fear as to who you are. I know you to be real and everything you have presented yourself to be. We are alike in so many ways, and it feels to me like there is something leading us here...."despite our destinations" (sound familiar?) Is it something shimmering and white? All I know is that I feel a mysterious and deep connection to you....and I really do love you....even though I have yet to look into your eyes, or to know your last name. How crazy is that? We make Romeo and Juliet look like sane people. LOL And yet, I really do believe there is "something" guiding us along.....and we have been brought together for a reason. All I know is, you bring great joy and bliss to my life...and I love you.
Beautiful song choice, babe....thank you! So tragic that Michael Hutchence killed himself. He was the same age you are now. He was so handsome, talented, and I love his voice.
I'm so happy to hear from you. I hope the week went well, and you have a chance to enjoy the weekend and rest up. I admire you to no end, for the love and devotion you have for your brother,....that touches my heart, and I love you for being exactly who you are. What happens in June or July? Are you talking about less travel? I hope this caretaker is loving, kind, and doing his/her job the way they should be doing it. There are so many horror stories about these kinds of situations. I have no doubt you did your homework on this person. Please know, you never have to fake anything you're feeling with me. If you're down,....talk to me about it. I'm here for you, and I've got your back....always! Love you.
You are so positive, I am truly in awe. D, my brother, is okay....not great, but doing okay. The transition was tough for both of us, especially for him. But I am happy that he is near me and that I can help him. Had to hire someone to 'caretake' full time while I travel---- which is currently 80% of my life now.....but this is only until June or July. It has been a hard, difficult 6 months for me...but there is light. See! I CAN be optimistic and positive too! Or at least fake it.
Ummmm... how about INXS? 'Never Tear Us Apart'?
Hello my future lover. How was your day, jelly bean? How is it going with your brother? Is he okay by himself when you have to travel? It was a long day for me, but a good day. So glad to be home....and talking to you. Wish you were here to give me a back rub. I would of course....return the favor and make you feel good. And I mean........really good!
Slow dancing? How am I? terrible. As I confessed, I am not a dancer. And as I wrote, I am very rhythymic and coordianted in my movements--but not when vertically poised. Horizontally? Well...that's another story.
Not so sure about a "demonstration" since that would employ you only to watch, perhaps a hands-on tutorial?
Oo-lala, MLQS, are you talking about the dirty deed? Hot and steamy here over at this poll. I need a fan.
Judging form the Hollywood week, I say it has to be a girl this year. Girl power!! They far outweigh the boys talent wise. And we know, after Adam Lambert, no guy is gonna look too great this season.
M, ... What's it to me? It's everything....because it came from you, and you know how to touch me deeply inside, and I love you for making me feel the way I do when I think about you. I haven't felt those kind of feelings and the stir of emotions you bring to life in me...in a very long time. Truth is....I shut myself down emotionally to protect myself for many moons. A REAL long time! I hope that doesn't scare you,... I'm just saying I feel a connection to you that runs very deep, and I hope you choose to stay in my life. And, if you only knew the steamy thoughts I've had about you....
Now, about this dance thing.... How are you at slow dancing? (I'm loving your humor about the rhythmic thing. Perhaps you can give me a demonstration sometime in the future....
Trust me, you do NOT want to see a tall, skinny Asian dude dance. . not this one, anyway. Not to say that I cannot move rhythmically...Oh, I can...... Just not vertically. ;)
I may have sent you some of those lyrics. What's it to you, lady?? ;)
The top 3 should have been Adam, Allison, Danny. I don't agree with your criticism of Adam as he was clearly better than Allison, Danny and Kris. I think Danny made mistakes, but was deserving of the number 2 spot. And yes, Allison should have been number 3, certainly better than Kris. All in all when compared to past years...not a BAD top 3. NOT the best, but better than most years!
Last year's Top 3 was terrible. I stand by that. I was a HUGE Allison fan, and she was Top 4! got cut because of Gokey's screech from hell. Kris was my second favorite, and his album sales have been terrible. Adam I cannot stand. Gokey, don't even get me started.
Seriously, this years top 3 has to trump that mess.
M., ...Where did you go? Talk to me.... Here is a feel good song for you... John Mellencamp's 'Check It Out'. I would love to see you dancing to this!
Hi JC! I'm happy to see you took your original name back. I always liked it best of all, even though Jesthena was a good name as well. How are you? Is there a new guy in your life yet? I really miss everyone. I wish ck would make at least one appearance so we know she's okay. She was having some serious health problems the last we heard from her, so I'm worried she might not even be alive anymore. I would love it if we could all pick up where we left off. M. and I have been battling the Adam bashers on Rickey's other threads. I was becoming a real lightning rod for some of the bullies who were zeroing in on me, so I tried changing my name and Rickey ratted me out and exposed me. He is such a little weasel. I know damn well the haters were changing identities, but he's protecting them. So unfair. With all that said, I am still very grateful for Rickey's simply because I met some wonderful people here, like you and especially M., who I hold the deepest affection for, in case you couldn't tell. LOL
OMG you guys are back! How have you been? I've been pretty impressed with the guest judges so far..
You are putting the biggest smile on my face M! I found the other thread just a little while ago where you left me yet another message, and I left you a little message there too. I hope you are peeking in on my twitter because I have a message for you there as well. I want to talk to you so badly jelly bean. I just want to hear you say that you're okay,....that would mean a lot to me. Of course, anything you want to talk about would delight me to the moon and back. And I am still dying to find out if you left those song lyrics, or if it's Optimal Bob aka King Herod pining away for ck that did that.
@bwatt. You nuts, girl! Last years' top 3, with the exception of Kris Allen who was mediocore talent-wise, was pretty good. Adam was excellent--dubbed by all as the "best that American Idol ever had", and Danny Gokey, despite his personality quirks, had decent vocals for sure. You must be an Adam hater like Rickey. If you are an Adam hater--you are at the right site. This is not an Adam Friendly board. The blog owner makes that quite apparent.
Are you kidding? Adam Lambert was amazing and he was in the top 3 last year and so was allison iraheta (not that anyone will remember her 3 years from now...)
I'm sure it is too early to tell, but just saying, the girls are WAY more impressive. No guys have stood out and have all lacked star quality in my opinion. Besides, I want a girl winner this year. Last years Top 3 was just terrible.
I also think it's quite too early to tell.
But so far, my favorite is Andrew Garcia.
I still think it's too early to tell.
After the auditions thus far, it has to be a female winner. Only the girls have been good thus far, and more of them have been featured.
Noel - you were wonderful - great grandma jennie
Go Bosa!
Go Mora Family!
We are so PROUD of you!
