It's what's inside the creator.<br />Yuseyz, that was gorgeous.<br />And remember, "The filmmaker cannot see, and the songwriter cannot hear." - RENT. <br />I'm a huge fan of old '70s and '80s music AND operas (but more specifically, ROCK operas, not opera-operas). <br />I just hate when people degrade their own music. DON'T. <br />Read 'Neon Angel: Memoir of a Runaway' by Cherie Currie. It's a memoir on her life as the lead singer of '70s band The Runaways-- playing alongside my IDOL Joan Jett, too (with a foreward but Joan Jett, it's amazing). It really gives new perspective on her how life was devoted to music and what she went through (I so wished I lived in the '70s...it was ALL about the music then. Granted, I would have been a LSD-inducing pot-smoking freak in a band, but that's how life was in the '70s for musicians). Punk rock. SEX PISTOLS. David Bowie. Joan Jett.<br />Yuseyz: If it's music, it's a masterpiece. <br />xoxoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-75381969478619679862012-05-15T19:09:17.980-07:002012-05-15T19:09:17.980-07:00Actually i don't have anything, but an email.....Actually i don't have anything, but an email... no phone, no ipod, nothing.<br />And thanks, but everytime i try to write i can't finish i need more time and patience.

Like, let's say, in one of the upcoming books, Lana comes to Santa Martina to hang out with Sammy and Rita for Mother's Day. Or something like that. Has that idea ever crossed your mind? I was going to do that idea for a story on Fanfiction. <br />You know, I think that Easter, Mother's Day, Saint Patrick's day, and Father's Day should be more popular. I mean, Christmas and Halloween are super popular, like Thanksgiving. But I think that some people don't find those other holidays as exciting as Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Halloween. What do you think?XxTuti17xXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08793386812204281589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-20439126815408591842012-05-14T12:54:39.682-07:002012-05-14T12:54:39.682-07:00HA! That is hilarious! I'm glad you can laugh ...HA! That is hilarious! I'm glad you can laugh about it now. My family never did more than just make Mom a card for Mother's Day and then do the dishes after dinner (she cooked). My husband's family gives gifts and cards and basically lets the MOM do NOTHING all day (that's extreme, and kind of boring if you ask me). So the last 3 years that I've been a mother on the "big day," I haven't known what to expect. Last year I got a homemade card. This year, nothing. I didn't do dishes just because I didn't want to, but then I had to do them all today instead. <br />SO, I agree with you about Mother's Day. It's such a contrived "holiday." I don't want to TELL my family what I'd like them to do, and I don't want them to do things for me because they feel obligated. I just want them to tell me they love me in their own way and maybe load the dishwasher. Or at least rinse the dishes. Or maybe just eat on paper plates. Outside. :)Shainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11348870391207174375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-63930067755439727102012-05-14T09:02:45.532-07:002012-05-14T09:02:45.532-07:00Ouch! Talk about a Mother's Day from Hell. You...Ouch! Talk about a Mother's Day from Hell. You know, I think you're totally right about all of this. Every year, it's almost a bloodbath trying to figure out what to get for Mother's Day. Especially because she says not to do anything or get her anything, even though it would totally go against the Rules of Being a Good Daughter not to. <br /><br />This year, she was out of the country for visit to some relatives, so I just kinda wished her a Happy Mother's Day over the phone, but when she gets back, I'll be sweating over what to do to celebrate. The intention is good, but the holiday itself has now become an Evil Entity out to destroy the wallets and good wishes of children and husbands everywhere.<br /><br />Btw: I'm guessing no, but has Sammy done anything for Mother's Day for Lady Lana, even wish her a happy one over the phone or something?Normahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07014237351215723697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-75141081725446842872012-05-13T22:38:21.579-07:002012-05-13T22:38:21.579-07:00My sister is big on Mother's Day.

I always thought it was kind of phony because if I seriously cared about my mom, I'd show it every day (WHICH I DO!) but at the same time, it's kind of like your birthday. It's that one day you collect all your love and give it to your mom I guess.<br /><br />I remember back when I was in 5th grade my mom and dad went shopping at this huge mall and me, my sister, and my grandma were at home. My sister accidently wacked my ear and my earring... it kinda got stuck in my earhole. Yeah I know, gross :P<br /><br />So my mom had to come all the way back and take me to the emergency room. She wasted her whole day on me and I felt soooo bad. <br /><br />Worst Mother's Day ever!<br /><br />Though WVD's story sounded pretty horrifying too.

My friends and I were sitting with this little girl and she's like 'You're my best friend, your my best friend, and you're my best friend.' pointing at all of my friends in turn, but me. <br />I asked her if she didn't like me because I didn't have nail polish on because she was talking about that before. She said yes and i pointed out that one of my friends didn't either...<br />Dis #1: She replied by saying, 'But I like her face.'<br />Also I was wearing Henna on my hand (that I had done myself when i was bored) and she pointed that out. I pointed out that my other friend had done some on her own hand as well..<br />Dis #2: She said 'But hers is good.<br />Then later when i took off my scarf she said i was her friend because of my earrings and hair, but when i put the scarf back on i wasn't.

My mom was awake before everyone else. She woke me up at 11 am YELLING in my ears, "There's these cute patent leather heels my friend at work was wearing and I want you to go to Macy's RIGHT NOW and get them! FOR YOURSELF."<br />I was NOT in the mood. But I woke up anyway, after 20 minutes of more sleeping, and then I realized I forgot to finish my Mother's Day card.<br />I quickly finished it and went downstairs in my pajamas and gave it to her with an IOU sign.<br />Her gift, SSSHHH, is a swan I am making for her in ceramics, and I'm going to plant a...uh, plant, in it. But I haven't fired and glazed it yet so it has to wait.<br />ANYWAY, my MOM made me breakfast. Then in my pajamas I drove to Macy's.<br />So on Woodward Avenue I think I'm going in the wrong direction b/c I'm half-sleepy still, so I shift over to the left lane TWO INCHES but change my mind and go back into the right lane.<br />This guy driving behind me BLASTS his horn at me and I swerve right and he drives past me and in front of me on the left lane. Flipping me off.<br />I had sunglasses on so he couldn't see my eye-roll. And yes, I muttered some "bad" words under my breath.<br />Well I get to Macys (the mall, basically) and THERE HE IS. My Left-Lane Buddy. He's a middle-aged balding man, might I add? Picking fights with a 17-year-old girl? Um?<br />He marches up to me and tells me I should get a ticket and he's calling the BPD and finally I just lift my sunglasses like a badass and I'm like, "I'm sorry, I just got my license 5 days ago. You got a problem?"<br />(I lied to him, I've had my license since sophomore year).<br />He was like, "Well,...STILL."<br />So I was like, "Ha, forget you, I'm glad you were in such a hurry to intercept me on the right lane just to come to Macy's all alone on a Saturday morning".<br />Except of course I said a different f-lettered word than forget.<br />THEN I got myself the shoes and went home and mo MOM made me lunch and we had a random party which was fun but...<br />As you can see, my mom is a person who does not like being taken care of. She's one of those England-grown socialites who likes to be a*cue Brit accent* "independant and classy" woman.<br />HA. And my 9-year-old sister somehow managed to get her a $45 face cream, a ring, and a makeup bag?<br />The 9 year old has OWNED us all. Boss.<br />But the party was FUN and I lasted the whole day without sarcastic comments or eye rolling or snapping at any of my sisters.<br />And we all MANAGED to get along without getting into any stupid bantering or arguments.<br />Which, for my insane family, is SUCCESS.<br />(Also my mom wanted to invent our own personal day called 'Sisters' Day' which to all 3 of us speaking sisters (and even the baby sis) said "NO!"<br />Being kind to mummy? I can deal.<br />Appreciating the SISTERS for a whole day? TAKE MY SOUL I CAN'T DO THIS.<br />Long comment, but you're story was hilarious and kinda pathetically cute and sad and funny at the same time.<br />HAH, from sushi to Taco Bell burritos. My mom would have been like, "IT'S OKAY GUYS, I'LL PAY! I'LL PAY!" if my sisters and I did that b/c she feels guilt ALL the time.<br />Itr useful when we WANT money from her, but not when we're actually trying to treat her.<br />Good night!<br />xoxoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-37684769886529194202012-05-13T21:19:00.175-07:002012-05-13T21:19:00.175-07:00We always got my mom a card and a present, and we&...We always got my mom a card and a present, and we'd "make dinner" (though definitely not anything fancy) so my mom wouldn't have to cook. Oh, and I'm pretty sure my dad got her flowers, and we'd either buy or make a cake.<br /><br />I remember one year (when I was about 13) I decided to make my parents dinner for their anniversary -- using whatever groceries we had on hand, and picking the recipes a couple of hours before dinnertime. I baked homemade bread, and then made chicken tetrazzini (different oven temperatures, of course).<br /><br />The first course (salad and bread) was about two hours after normal dinnertime, and the main course was probably an hour after that. And of course it was a surprise, so they weren't allowed in the kitchen or attached living room the whole time I was cooking! I did do the dishes myself, but still... my poor parents! I gained a huge appreciation for how my mom managed to get several dishes ready all at the same time, at the same time every night.<br /><br />Even as an adult, I nearly failed at Mother's Day this year -- I meant to put the card in the mail on a run earlier this week, but set it on the coffee table when I went to set the alarm. I found it still stamped and waiting today. But I did at least call and tell her to expect the card later this week. And I remembered to mention my grandma (note: Mother's Day is hard on anyone who can no longer celebrate the holiday with their own mother).Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743674350647517445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-28470787609389959242012-05-13T20:40:49.125-07:002012-05-13T20:40:49.125-07:00Yeah we just made breakfast and one of my brothers...Yeah we just made breakfast and one of my brothers slept in the whole time. I made a card in the form of a cutie-catcher and wrote little things on each flap. <br />I know what you mean about pretending to be asleep. Me and my brother just got up and made breakfast for both parents. Crepes with berries.. Yum...<br />My mom says everyday should be Mother's Day and we should help out and appreciate her everyday.<br />--YusayeraYusahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07336152552714339539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-53818795367929505662012-05-13T20:38:11.539-07:002012-05-13T20:38:11.539-07:00Wow that totally stinks (in both ways!)
Well may...Wow that totally stinks (in both ways!) <br /><br />Well maybe it will be better next year. Yeah my mom turned into the mother from hell when she decided to take her 6 kids, 6 grandkids, 2 son in laws, and well my dad to home depot after a family dinner at chevy's where all the kids at soda and ice cream. So they were hyper and she doesn't like little 3-15 (me!) running around the store (or as she says "place of business) while other people are there (but there was no one!). So she got mad at us. But in my defense the only reason I was running was to prevent my nephew from have a crying attack because he got hit in the face by his brother on accident, so I was trying to make him happy. <br /><br />Well I wonder what we will get to this week in <br />comments!<br /><br />~Kylie~Kyliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11837543024870687967noreply@blogger.com
