damn! wish I could have heard this years ago!

First and foremost, I'm sorry you're still not feeling well, dear merchant of lemons.


Second, Your "parody" is extreme, and I'd almost like to think that something else ruffled your cart and made some lemons roll away, most of which you could not salvage. Thus, you are lashing out, and good! THAT is precisely the point of the quote! GO! Let those emotions fly freely upon the wind!

Just watch out for boomerangs.

*Courtesy request from the Inhabitants of Dawndom:
Dearest Lemon Merchant,

Please refrain from placing any depictions of handguns, particularly those in use, in Dawn Dawn's journal. Further discussion of this may ensue elsewhere, but for now, as a friend, she requests this of you, as it causes quite profound emotional distress upon her. We thought you knew that, but will give you the benefit of the doubt here, as she considers you a good friend and would hate to think you meant to cause such distress.

Thank you.

I was thinking of my former roommate when I wrote up this bit, and attempting to channel him. He's always had a particularly type of vitriol that I lack.

Also, my flu (the dreaded Lesbian Flu, more powerful than normal flu) is causing me to be grumpy. My apologies for any spill-over into your journal. I am recovering, but I am a couple of days behind the lesbians in their recovery and I understand they have just recently recovered their appetites. I still do not have one and so it's just bland, crisp cereals for me.

Finally, I'm happy to accommodate your handgun request. Didn't know that bit.

Mr. Make-Believe????

Speaking of whom, there is a rather nice young woman I know in Cleveland who claims to have been friends with him at Stow-Munroe Falls HS, and asked me to see if I could at least send word to him that she says hello and that, should he be willing, she would like to talk to/ see him again sometime. I tried asking kingtycoon, but he never replied. You don't have to, obviously, but Erika (that is her name - she's also yosoylaloba here) said she misses MMB very much.

I understand eating bland things for illness. The BRAT diet overall is a good idea (Bananas, Rice, Apples/ Applejuice, Toast) for the flu, regardless of its sexual preference. ~;) Again I say, I wish you a quick recovery. And no worries...I knew I had done nothing to warrant your grumbles.

Finally, thank you.

Sure.
I insist that you check this out, for it is quick and right up your alley in terms of being cute and delightful.

OMFG that's fabulous! It was such a good thing in fact, I flailed several times.

If you feel that you hate all blacks and you show those feelings, that's great! Express your feelings! Express yourself! Express the truth of the feelings, the feelings you have in yourself. Never apologize for the truth of your feelings.

You should never censor yourself because your ideas yearn to be free and you yearn to be free and by expressing your free ideas freely you free yourself to a wonderful world of freedom. Isn't it wonderful?

Self-control is an illusion, do you see? Self control is the control of self? But who is doing the controlling? The self? The cup cannot contain itself. The hand cannot hold itself. Self-control is a terrible illusion used by OTHERS to control you. Who tells you that you must use self-control? Others. But do not let the others control you. Instead, why not freely express yourself instead in wonderful freedom.

That is why this is a beautiful picture. The man on the left is freely expressing the feelings he has in himself. Others have said he should have "self-control" but it is not self-control it is other control. He is freely rejecting the other control and is feely self-feeling and self-expressing. Should he apologize for the freely expressing of his innermost truth? Of course not.

Thank you.
