  • NatalyaGalaxy

    Падре, я не знаю, что вы там курите, но, может, поделитесь, а?

  • Ari

    Ame, will you please speak to me, if you drop by?
    I need to talk to you.
    Please.

    • 30_STM_J&S&T

      Hey Ari! :)

      how are you today?

      i’m sorry that i had to quit without
      telling you yesterday. it was really
      late and i told you about my parents…

      i do not know if you believe it or not
      but to me it is important that you
      are present here on thisiswhoireallyam.
      and i do wish i could be there for
      you if you need help too… you can
      always talk to me if you want. i’m here
      as often as possible so if there’s like
      a “2 hours ago” under my comment
      i still may be here. just wanted to say.

      PS: do you still want to leave us after
      summer?

      • Ari

        Oh, thank you! I was looking for Ame, but I don’t see her about.
        I think I am maybe mixed up again. But I’m not sure.
        Do you remember Ame?

        • 30_STM_J&S&T

          yes i do. i don’t forget that
          fast. i think i’ll still remember
          her in about 5 years or even
          more.
          (think about it. i didn’t
          even talk to her. when do you
          think i’ll forget you?)
          i do not know but i think this
          memory is kind of a curse…
          why do you think that you’re
          mixed up?

          PS: so do you still want to leave…?

          • Ari

            I thought I was to leave tonight. I’m very cold. You are so patient with me. Yes, I remember you talking about your parents. My family are all gone now. My father told me he didn’t like me. I don’t feel so good. I was supposed to take pills to sleep. But I didn’t take them. I’m frightened that I won’t get better.

          • 30_STM_J&S&T

            first of all i am really sorry…

            well actually they’re my
            adoptive parents so…
            i don’t know how my real
            parents look like or what kind
            of persons they are/were or if they’re still alive…

            and again a similarity: i can’t
            sleep since years. but i didn’t go to a doctor or something. i don’t like doctors.

            why don’t you take your pills? i think you should take them. it’s worth a try. but hey if you don’t want to – i give you the advice to take your pills but i myself don’t even go to a doctor… i’ve always been a person who gives good advices but never really acts advised herself.

          • 30_STM_J&S&T

            oops i meant
            “i can’t sleep very well since years”
            … i’m not a zombieor something. ;)
            PS: how about a new comment?

          • Ari

            Yes. Go up top. My box doesn’t get much smaller, so I don’t notice, really.

          • Ari

            I’m sorry you can’t sleep. We need to sleep, don’t we? To heal. Yes, there seem to be some similarities between us. I don’t go to doctors normally, either. Maybe I’m like Agnieszka’s Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds! I hope you won’t give up on me. I got it into my head that Jared hates me. But it helps if you are sometimes here. I am not much good to you just now. I am sorry.

          • 30_STM_J&S&T

            i won’t give up on you if you won’t leave. :)
            but why do you think that jared hates you?

            and you don’t have to be sorry. as i told you: i’ve got my own way to help myself. it’s not the best method but as long as it helps me…

          • Ari

            I was speaking to someone earlier, and they were saying horrible things. I just wondered if Jared was one of them. I don’t like the sound of this ‘way’ you have to help yourself.

  • 30_STM_J&S&T

    this reminds me of those
    optical illusions…. i love
    optical illusions so i
    really like this one too :)

    it’s like we got used to see
    people everywhere but in
    this pic the security guy seems
    so out of place! :O

    PS: that “i like it” stuff may “get
    old” (….i mean have i ever written
    that a pic isn’t good?) but i guess
    that’s ok if the person who takes
    the pics does it perfectly ;) so
    keep on taking pics i love every
    single one! …and i’m sure i’m
    not the only one. :)

    *marshugs* :)

  • agnieszka

    Lucy. In the sky. With diamonds. Didn`t take her Meds.All she needed was Love. Doctor Parnassus said so.

  • agnieszka

    …and the last 3 art photos put together make me think you`re doing a degree in engineering.Or plotting sth really complicated – VyRT? Well…
    Good luck, whatever it is;

    That’s fun and trippy. I like it.

  • Ari

    I’m here, 30!

    Did you mind me talking about my friends yesterday? I miss them so much that my stomach hurts with the pain of it. But they were happy days. I started to show signs of illness then, but not much. I never felt so safe as I did with them. But it’s been so many years now.

    • 30_STM_J&S&T

      in my opinion you can write
      whatever you want – as long
      as you don’t write senseless,
      offending or humiliating things
      (like “Devil” for example…
      but there were a lot of other
      people who did that (“nargiza”
      for example. but “nargiza” wasn’t
      that “hardcore”…)).
      about your friends… i’m sorry
      and i feel with you. but i’m sure
      you’ll be happy one day. you just
      have to talk to someone and see
      the positive things in your everyday
      life. even if they’re so little that you
      almost can’t see them. sometimes
      you have to stop and look close.

      • Ari

        Yes. Thank you. I will leave you in peace now.
        You are a good person. I hope I can help you one day.

        • 30_STM_J&S&T

          you will leave me in
          peace now??
          I am the one who starts
          to talk with you…

          “You are a good person.”
          thank you. but actually i’m
          not a good person. i’m just
          a person who is good to other
          people (who need help).

          you hope you can help
          me one day?
          well you are helping me
          right now. i try to help you
          so you can feel better and
          when you feel good i feel
          good too. :)

          • 30_STM_J&S&T

            * other people (who need
            help”

            just noticed that it sounds
            a little strange. i hope i didn’t
            offend you or something. i am
            sorry… let’s say “who feel bad”.

          • Ari

            No, I’m not offended. It is all just part of the extremes of humanity. Illness is a part of what is normal, I think. If that makes sense. And I am not always like that. Maybe someday you will see the better side of me. Goodnight and take care of yourself. The best way you can…

          • Ari

            Now I’m seeing double!
            Goodnight three times!!!

          • 30_STM_J&S&T

            sorry i think i’m a little late…(?)
            i had to brush my teeth which became a big time-consuming ritual since i had my first dental filling last year. but it’s worth it. the less the visits to the doctor the better i feel.

            nighty night
            Ari :)

          • 30_STM_J&S&T

            actually i didn’t mean the mental help. i meant the people who feel alone and bad and who want someone to talk to.
            but i agree with you.

          • Ari

            No, I’m not offended. Illness is just one aspect of being human. I wasn’t always this way. I hope one day you will see a better side to me.

            Goodnight and take care of yourself (the best way you can…)

  • http://thestorytellersgarden.wordpress.com/ talesgarden

    Sorry beloved Rockpoet, I don’t feel like talking at the moment.
    Just wanted to let you know that you’re always in my mind & in my ♥.

    Amazing photo by the way. :)

    Please take good care of yourself and have a wonderful Sunday, mon amour.

    Lots of love & a long warm-hearted virtual hug for you. ♥Xo

    I think that poor man doesn’t know he’s about to be carved up by a psychedelic ham slicer!

    • 30_STM_J&S&T

      they look strange when
      i look at this pic… i’m
      wondering what it would
      be like to stand in front
      of them…

      • Ari

        Take good care of yourself. The proper way.
        And thank you for listening. x

        • 30_STM_J&S&T

          ok i do not know if
          you’re already gone
          but if so i hope you
          will come back one
          day. or just visit
          thisiswhoireallyam
          without commenting.
          if you want to talk
          - no matter when or
          why – i’m here. as long
          as is physically possible.
          you’ll be happy one
          day. i believe in that
          and i will pray for you.
          but i really hope you’ll
          come back…

          • Ari

            I am still here. And have taken the medication. It upsets me to say so, but perhaps it will help. And I hope to get a proper rest. I can’t rest, you see.
            And I don’t look after myself properly. I don’t eat well. Not healthy food.

            I will write to Dear Mr Cubbins soon, and I hope you will read it and maybe understand. Perhaps you will not think we are so alike then. I was thinking I should apologise to Jared. But I don’t think he reads these comments. Except for Tales! They seem to have a relationship of some sort. Good for her! Maybe her dream will come true. And maybe you’ll get to meet him too!

          • 30_STM_J&S&T

            oh i am so gald you didn’t
            leave! :)

            you said you don’t like the
            sound of my way to help
            myself (i do not know when
            it was) and i didn’t see it. but you’re right: it doesn’t sound
            good because it isn’t. and i
            know it’s not good but i don’t
            really care… may i ask what
            you think it is? i’m just curious
            (as always) you know…

            i’m sure i’ll read it because
            i read all the comments
            here but i do not know what my reaction to your comment could be like. you told me a few times that i “will not think we are so alike then” but i didn’t change my statement so i don’t really think i’ll change my behaviour toward you after that. but i don’t know.

            yeah talesgarden writes in a very sweet and personal way (in my opinion) and i had a little talk with her too. she seems to be a really good person. but i would not say that they have a relationship. maybe she’s one of those persons who write their comments as if they know that jared reads them (i don’t mean that in a bad way). she also didn’t tell me about something like that… maybe i could ask her. but not here you know because she never answers (except when i once wrote to her but didn’t say who i am because i didn’t know how to do that). she’s just like “i’ll write a comment send some virtual hugs and then leave”. but i really like her and her comments!

            and i really do hope that i’ll meet those crazy guys one day!

          • Ari

            Hello!

            I’m still hoping that these pills work and I get some sleep. No luck last night.

            Yes, part of the reason I’m still here, is you!

            I don’t know what you do to help yourself, but I worry that you self-harm in some way.

          • 30_STM_J&S&T

            hey Ari! :)

            i hope your pills worked this time(?)
            don’t give up!

            i’m glad i have a
            bearing on your decision to stay. :)

    How very Alice in Wonderland. Love the atmosphere it creates, although it does bring to mind a godawful childhood dream about maniacal polka dots and tall, white hallways…

    In fancy they pursue
    The dream-child moving through a land
    Of wonders wild and new,
    In friendly chat with bird or beast–
    And half believe it true.

    Thus grew the tale of Wonderland:
    Thus slowly, one by one,
    Its quaint events were hammered out–
    And now the tale is done,
    And home we steer, a merry crew,
    Beneath the setting sun.

    And with a gentle hand
    Lay it where Childhood’s dreams are twined
    In Memory’s mystic band,
    ~Lewis Carroll
    (because it is carrollesque)

  • capricorn

    Stars wheel in purple, yours so rare
    as yet so great a star
    as bright Aldebaran or Sirius,
    not the stained and brilliant one of War;

    stars turn in purple, glorious to the sight;
    yours is as gracious as the Pleiads are
    and as Orion’s sapphires, luminous;
    yours so rare, wheel in brilliance star.

  • DeltaAquarid

    Hey-with the mention of stars & Capricorn, did you know that the Delta Aquarid meteor shower is peaking? If you are in the Northern Hemisphere, you can locate the main radiant by finding the square of Pegasus (it’ll be the south-eastern corner). Pegasus name actually means “pege”for springing forth and “sus” for bridled horse but the meteor shower would actually be a play on words for spring :) You probably already know the most famous legend of Pegasus & the mountain spring.

    According to legend, the spring Hippocrene on Mount Helicon in Greece is there because of Pegasus. In the story, the nine muses were having a contest with the nine daughters of Pierus at the summit of Mount Helicon. The singing of Pierus’ daughters caused the mountain to rise skyward, prompting Pegasus to kick it back down. The spring now known as Hippocrene gushed forth from the spot where Pegasus struck the mountain with his hoof.

    In Hesiod’s Theogony Helicon was mentioned:

    “From the Heliconian Muses let us begin to sing,
    Who hold the great and holy mount of Helicon,
    And dance on soft feet about the deep-blue spring
    And the altar of the almighty son of Cronos, and,
    When they have washed their tender bodies in Permessus
    Or in the Horse’s Spring or Olmeius,
    Make their fair, lovely dances upon highest Helicon
    And move with vigorous feet”

    There the Muses inspired him and he began to sing of the origins of the gods. Thus Helicon became an emblem of poetical inspiration.

    “Stardust”

    Glittering, sparkling drops of dust

    Catching the sunlight

    Twinkling

    Falling slowly

    Without weight

    Like tiny stars

    Watching

    Wondering

    Fresh, cleansing cool air of night

    Universe above me

    Twirling

    Turning slowly

    The tiny stars

    Wishing

    Wanting

    Both have eyes

    Both see

    Feel the dark of night

    And the warmth of light

    For all the world to be

    • Ari

      That’s something very lovely to wake up to.
      I’ve woken up to something terrible
      And something beautiful.

        I am so glad but it is not mine, the poet Annette Hansen wrote it.

        • Ari

          It is yours, it is mine, it is nobody’s.
          It is all just there. Like us.
          Waiting to be plucked from the sky.
