    that's called "growing up"

    good for you.
    But now you have to find other ways to collect your mags.

    Maybe Greeven is able to help you ?

    Hi Viv,

    Kudo's to you! Girl you've got guts I was sitting and waiting to hear how it went...it sounds like it went boring and sad at the same time. Have you ever spoken to your old friend? I hope that someday you find her again, maybe she's hiding out there somewhere...just waiting

    I have not been back since my fade, I didn't even mean to fade, but when my hubby got sick and we started to talk, I basically said forget this and just stopped, all of a sudden. I thought I would save myself the hurt and just made a disappearing act...POOF! Thats when I started to question and did the research.

    What you said is true Viv, they don't get a chance to really live their life, they dont have the simple pleasure of knowing what true happiness and friendship is. They just know what someone else tells them to belive. I am glad to hear that you didn't have to run up on stage...although it would have made for quite an interesting story! We'll have to think of a way to smuggle you mags Garnet

    Good for you Viv! Maybe you were "meant" to go back to the hall one more time, for closure. Getting past anger is a huge step. It is sad, to see so many letting others make all their decisions for them, being cut off from all emotion and isolated from most of humanity.

    Way to go !

    I felt the desire to stand up and leave, right there and then.

    And I did.

    no more.

    Congratulations.

    Just after the meeting started I nearly blew my cover, when i reached for my bible out of my bag, and my ciggies fell out…. ooops

    If that was me, I would've got up in the middle of the meeting and went for a cigarette break. Then come back in with the sweet smell of cigarettes emitting from me. I would've also brought a walkman and listened to some Guns N Roses really loud when the meeting got boring.

    Vivamus,

    You whore! You're gonna die at armageddon, you horrid seductress of the apostate world!

    Ha ha ha! What a geek that elder is. I bet he never called you back to ask why you didn't pick up the magazines, either. OH, that would have taken about 2 seconds, but he doesn't give a shit anymore about you... b/c you're demonized now, you see!

    Forgiveness is good; that is a sure sign that you are moving on! When they're petty judgements cannot reach you anymore, you feel free! Good for you!

    "Why do you strain the gnat yet drink the camel?" Exactly applied to the dubs.

    Oh, and my condolences for having to sing the cult music... which songs were they? I sure with I could have been there to sing out of tune with the fellow apotate club!

    Thank you for all the replies

    Sens, LOL, thats just worthy of a LOL.

    Shamus, are ya kidding me?! You didn't think I actually sang? Now did ya? First of all, I cannot carry a tune (ask anyone who heard me do the Piza Song) and second of all, I will never sing those gaddamns awful songs. One of em was 212, or something, I can't even remember. I did however *gasp* yawned openly during the song.
