its sad

its a sad day when one's blogging world and one's blogging friends feel more supportive and more real than one's friends and community in one's hometown.

Well, it's my experience not to get too sucked in by what bloggers say. Anyone can post a kind word (and probably mean it), and just go on with their day without giving it a second thought. Real life takes more of an involvement and a commitment to your friend to actually doing something about the situation.

Whatever's going on, I hope it works out for you, Brooke.

I know the feeling. I wish I could somehow bring everyone online to me... it's too hard sometimes. I miss everyone 24/7.

I feel the same way a lot. That's why I look forward to events where I can meet people I know online.

Agree with e to a certain degree, about posting words and forget about it, all though there's people on the web and their problems I think about daily the same way I do about my real life people.

I sang for you
though you did not hear
and I sang to the tree spirits
asking them to release your fear
every living thing is vulnerable
I'm powerless to change that
Still I sing for you

I sing with you
though you may not hear
we sing for your spirit
may it rise above fear
every living thing is vulnerable
I'm powerless to change that
Still I sing with you

brooke
brooke is a lesbian, radical feminist, cat lover, bibliophile, non-smoker, unitarian universalist (though she doesn't go to fellowship on a regular basis) and in the process of becoming athletic again. she dreams of being jeanne d' arc and swooping in and saving those that need saved (though she'd rather not be burned at the stake). she is a loyal friend who will do anything she can for those she loves, but she can flakey sometimes when her depression flares up. she is a loner. a southerner self-transplanted to the pacific northwest in 1998 and now believes that it doesn't rain enough here. she's known for her honesty, she can't help it, its the only way to be. she is 4'8" tall, and round. she has natural blonde hair and she also has blue eyes. she is very intense. she hates small and large crowds, she prefers the one on one or the one on a few. she has no idea what she wants to do with her life, though she would like to see more of the world than what she has seen so far (a good part of the continental united states) and she very much wants to be a mother. finally, she has huge crushes on alix olson and carolyn gage (these are from a far).
