I’m sorry to what we have become. It’s no longer the same. What was once excitement is now all but a tired stare. You used to touch and love me, all the right ways. We used to laugh, like sugared up five year olds at a fart joke. I miss those days. I know you’re trying baby, but I don’t know if it will be enough for us to see this through.

You barely make ends meet even though your salary is good. You’ve got bills, loans, student loans, all stupid, yet things needed to survive. I’m a friggin student, hoping someone will give me a chance. I see the strain and sleepless nights all over your face. You don’t need another worry, I know it would be easier if I just left. But there’s something beautiful about you, those eyes how they smile when you’re happy. I’d give up everything I have to see the smile in your eyes.

We’ve got all the odds against us—ten years age difference, long distance, you like peas… I don’t. It’s a tough world, and few hate us. You’re the peanut butter to my jelly sandwich. I’m trying baby, and will see this thing to the sad end if it has to be. —My Peanut Butter Meep Sandwich

  1. This is a love! even if it sounds contrary.
    Eat the peanut butter and jelly for a while, focus on the fart laughing and when this bleak spell passes, you’ll look back at this time with fondness because you got through it–together.

  2. It’s true! All relationships have down times, sad times and really, really hard times. but if you used to laugh like that, trust me, you can find it again. It’s those who never knew the real joy of being friends first that have the hardest time holding on when it’s hard.

    PS: When I read the headline I thought of the PK sammich of last night – a la wheelie, b195 et al…. 😀

  3. It’s the club that wouldn’t want us as members Painey. Grrrrrrr. Lovin’ the longhound – that old grey muzzle is tres endearing

  4. I had a negative status last night that I’ve seemingly lost myself over the past six months, and a close guy friend along with 195 and wheelie were fighting over who got to give me hugs and what kind of hugs they were going to be — first it was just *hugs* from the guy friend, then it was *many hugs* from 195, then it was *naked hugs* from wheelie, then *naked MOLESTING hugs* from the guy friend, and then brendon declared a hug war and wheelie insisted on the naked hugs NOW, and then ralmn chimed in all “PK sandwich!” and then wheelie decided to have ralmn join in on the fun so it ended up being a:

    guy friend-PK-wheelie-ralmn-brendon double decker sammich.

    See what you’re missing, Ivan? Naked-molesting-double-decker-sammich-hugs. SERIOUSLY. ahaha

  5. That’s what happens when the site goes down for a day! That damn facebook takes over. I read your crazy comments but I prefer to spy from a distance- my aninimity will be gone once the others know… lol.

  6. No worries — your identity is safe with me 🙂

    What’s concerning me though is… we’ve seemed to have lost a few regulars. Where the hell *is* everyone?

  7. maybe it’s a ploy…we’ll miss them more if they go away^^you guys probably thought i had shuffled off my mortal coil

  8. Well, jonno’s pretty flakey with the posting overall so that’s not so shocking, but zed man… it’s like that bastard just dropped off the face of the earth!

  9. We had update installments from Ivan, so we knew it was just a matter of time before you made your way back, PG = )

  10. haha, yeah he emailed me…i was close to having the bear post for me, it’s tough to type when you’re lying on your back

  11. i knew you guys might be worried so i said to him “you tell them it’s the bear and i will dictate and you type” he was so worried about me and working a lot and the answer was no

  12. People think because we are looking at a machine when we interact, it isn’t real. It’s hard for them to understand that if you feel, there’s a realness to it. So, our care and our worry is valid…to us = )

  13. Miss Pain…I wanted to bring you tea or flowers but I have no idea how to reach anyone…and I’d feel weird walking into the wrong “shop” and asking for the bread lady or the bear. It’s easy to cyber hug you…but I feel socially retarded when it comes to meeting you all in person. Except Z3…for some reason I feel like we were brother & sister in a past life or something.

  14. it’s quite alright ralmn. i kept telling ivan i would drop in and when i promised him all hallows eve candy i had to go. i was sooooo nervous but once i did it, i felt liberated. he has been to the shop a number of times and i did the same thing with rosie…i don’t mind if ivan or pk tell you where the shop is…but ♬ hush hush sweet charlotte ♬

  15. It’s ok, RC, I felt socially retarded when I met any of the bitchers — at the summit and the ones I met before the summit. But it wasn’t that hard. 🙂 They don’t bite (well, MOST of them don’t bite… I don’t know about that bugger with the zees in his name. he looks like he’d bite a little).

  16. ha ha – well it could have been me, painey! Because I know where you’re coming from RC, I actually came to the last summit then quietly backed away because I was so intimidated. I know where painey’s shop is, and I really should actually pop in soon with some business… And I’ve been in stalking Ivan but didn’t say hi. Though I promise next chance I get, I will.

  17. Horsepuckey! PK couldn’t be socially retarded if she tried. And as for the rest of you – start with a smile and let things go from there. I’m not really a ruthless Spetznaz Colonel – I just play one on the interweb.

  18. we have more time under our belts admiral…sorry gotta go, tony gordon has escaped

  19. Haha, thanks Ivan. I’ve been pretty down on myself over the past month or so — I really need to fuck off with that! Because I *am* pretty darn awesome (just like [most] of my fellow bitchers/lovers). 🙂

  20. AHAHA love it.

    You’re awesome too, painey, unlike some of the dirtbag asshats that post on here. There are a lot of jerks on this board, unfortunately 🙁 It makes me super sad.

    They should all go away.

  21. Yay a zee post! 🙂 I was worried you were gone forever and that made me sad 🙁

    But now I’m happy!

  22. Flakey? Haha… how do you know I am simply not posting under numerous other monikers?? Aside from the obvious one, which has now been decommissioned. I figured we could join forces under jonnoman. So everyone beware! I am soon to become two-and-a-half Zeds… *winning!*

  23. I knew you two would become one one day. You’ve finally succumbed to the love you have for each other burning in your loins.

    It’s ok, we all knew it was coming.

  24. he’s no Vatican ninja assassin…

    I was away, trying to enjoy a life that doesn’t so closely resemble my own.
    ….
    and now I’m back.
    >:-[
    yay.

  25. The “real” Tunnel King was a Canadian,a former mining engineer from Timmins named Wally Floody.

  26. Hey now, you, if *I* can be somewhat decently happy today, so the hell can you, zed.

    At least you get to take a vacation from your life 🙁

  27. I feel like I won the lotto friday…
    but today I just signed the wrong name on the ticket so I don’t get the prize.

  28. Yeah, I’ve been there, zed 🙁 There’s only one place in the entire world I want to be right now, and that’s not going to happen. And if it does, it won’t be the same because the circumstances and people won’t be the same. It’s like you go from amazingly happy to lower than low in a matter of days, or for me, a matter of hours (to be precise the time it takes to fly from Montreal to halifax).

    But, look at it this way: it can only go up from here?… or something.

    It’s like my old ma always says (in her infinite pessimistic wisdom): it’s like we’re always a day late and a dollar short.
