I ain't right.

[Sugar Smack]

discuss.

:D

[trof]

1. You ain't right, or it ain't right?

If you ain't right then you must be left.

[Sugar Smack]

3. I'M LEFT, darlin'

and I'm giddy with it today!

*where's my giddy smilie?*

[GOPisEvil]

2. Me neither, I'm more of a leftist.

:D

[Sugar Smack]

4. Me too.

I'm just in this great mood because I went out shopping for henna for my hair? Anyway I went to this health-food store I used to think of as, you know, "snooty". Anyway, I realized I was COMPLETELY SURROUNDED BY LIBERALS! And I felt so great & so fearless, I wanted to publicly break into song.

[GOPisEvil]

6. I get that feeling a lot around here.

It's no nice go somewhere and have very few Republicans. It's nice to be able to do that here in Texas. Austin really is an oasis.

[Sugar Smack]

10. It's like seeing that good old "Kerry" bumper sticker

on another car. Even if someone's driving like a bat out of hell, you just have to excuse it!

[GOPisEvil]

11. Exactly.

It's so nice knowing that we aren't alone.

[Sugar Smack]

18. Can I just say that some of you Texas guys

are making me want to move down there, liberal ethos, or no? I'll go the whole state, trying to find ya.

:D

[GOPisEvil]

19. Come to Austin.

Liberal guys abound, particularly in my house. 100% of the men who live here are liberals. ;)

[Sugar Smack]

25. I just might, you know.

I've been known to hop into my trusty car, "Marylin", and take off at the drop of a hat. But if you're planning a sudden road trip this way, let me know so we don't miss each other!

;)

[GOPisEvil]

26. I'll keep a light on for ya.

;)

I wish I had the vacation time for a long roadie...I've had wanderlust for a while now.

[JimmyJazz]

5. None of us are. That's why we are here!

:o

[Sugar Smack]

8. That's it in a nutshell,

me darlin'. Damned, too, if this forum, especially the Lounge, hasn't brought down my blood pressure a few notches. Talk about wanting to burst with something OTHER than venom & vitriol.

PS,

:loveya: JimmyJazz!

[Lavender Brown]

7. Me neither

Oh, you meant politically? That too.

[Sugar Smack]

9. Did I ever tell you you're one of my favorite posters?

After that "accidentally telling someone you love them" thread, I was never the same. The things you write really make me laugh. You have such a good spirit.

:D

[Lavender Brown]

12. Well sheesh

Thank you. :hug:

[Sugar Smack]

14. Thanks for being so inquisitive & funny.

:hug:

[progmom]

13. meh, me neither

makes life more interesting though!

[Sugar Smack]

16. Doesn't it?

I almost hugged a dozen people today, all without their knowledge.

[progmom]

17. you have been a very loving mood today

i have noticed. very cool!! :loveya:

[Sugar Smack]

20. Oh, shit!

You didn't see my PM to Redstone, did you?

:blush:

[Sugar Smack]

28. PS-

:loveya: too, progmom!

[libodem]

15. but you ain't wrong neither

cuz its cool to be left. And by the by...if I might discreetly inquire...I noticed longrain used to flirt with you quite a bit...do you know where or how he is...did he do something terrible...to get tombstoned? Hope I'm not out of place asking, just curious.

[Sugar Smack]

21. Hey, pretty!

I have no idea what happened to Longgrain! One day he was here, posting art, and the next, he was gone! No, you have the same curiosity everyone else has.

Plus, you're a doll.

:hi:

[libodem]

24. Thanks

I feel like we're all among friends here.

[salin]

22. left of center... that's where I'll be

Suzanne Vega

[Sugar Smack]

23. Heh, heh!

I like getting people's references.



:P

[Ariana Celeste]

27. As I saw this topic,

"Right Turn" by Alice in Chains started playing on my playlist.

Inside always trying to get back inside
But it's so hard to penetrate pig-thick skin

I'm 'bout as low as I can get
I'd leave but I can't forget
Still I wonder why it ain't right, mmm it ain't right, oooh
Ain't right, mmm it ain't right, yeah

'Bout as low as she can get
She'll leave me but she won't forget
And she wonders why she ain't right, she ain't right
Ain't right, she ain't right

Now we're as low as we can get
Can't leave and can't forget
We ain't right, we ain't right
Not right, we ain't right

Well it's hard to believe that somebody tricked you
when you can see you were only high
It's all up to you so you gamble
flat on your face and into the fire


:hi: Just struck me as funny.

[Sugar Smack]

29. I LOVE Alice in Chains!

They remind me of my darker days in Alaska. When I worked in an isolated fishing lodge with 5 other people, and we all got cabin fever.

Does that group remind you of anything specific? It just seems to be the way they are.

:hi: back, btw. :)

[Ariana Celeste]

30. Actually, yes.

I used to hate them, with a passion.

I was a young teen when my mom was with a man who was a narcissistic, mean drunk. He would get shit-faced every night and blast the stereo in the living-room, keeping all of us kids awake even though we had to go to school. Keeping my mom up when she had to work. And it was always, always Candlebox or Alice in Chains. I used to sit there so pissed off. And just hated hated hated the music.

A few years later, after my mom left him... I heard them on the radio. "Don't Follow". I had an epiphany, or whatever, lol. I realized that I had projected my hatred for this man onto this music that was just so good, and from then on out I have been in love with them. I learned to play "Would" on the bass. It's the only song by them I can play, lol. Talented friggin band, man. Plus I just love the grunge sound. Staley had an awesome voice, and putting Staley and Cantrell together just made for the best vocals I have ever heard in my life. I have immense respect for these musicians.

So, with this day and age when all we seem to hear on the radio anymore are the same 4 chords in every song by every band, I have kept the radio off and stick by what I know to be good. And Alice in Chains will probably always remain my favorite band.

[Sugar Smack]

31. That's why you and I can accurately describe them as "haunting"

that voice takes me back to where I've been and makes me re-live details I'd forgot. Your story's amazing, too. Isn't it weird how they bring back these "trapped" memories, but we love them just the same?

[Ariana Celeste]

32. It is weird!

I think it was all a part of my "healing process"- that whole situation left me kind of messed up for awhile! Everytime I listen to them, it's just emotional... not in a bad way, not in a good way, just raw emotion. I friggin love it! :7

[Sugar Smack]

34. That's also the way I feel about Henry Rollins

and Tom Waits and Portishead. Complete fascination, and their ability to transposrt me into another time in my life. With Portishead, it was a time I was travelling with my ex, road-tripping everywhere, and making the best of our survival skills.

[Ariana Celeste]

35. Lol. I have a few others that do that for me, too

I love how music does that for me. NIN "The downward spiral" brings me to jr high, where my (then) best friend and I felt like we had only eachother. Lifehouse brings me back to the first time I tried to date a girl instead of the usual guys. She broke my heart. Memories, :7. Needless to say, there are some songs I can't listen to while drinking, and others that greatly enhance the happy drunken experience!

[Democracy White]

33. I ain't right either

Never been right and never will be.

I did get my taste of conservatism when I went through my Islam phase but I found out that I am actually more liberal than the ultracons that surrounded me.

Anyways, I'm glad you're in a good mood today Sugar Smack. I couldn't say the same about me. I didn't sleep well last night, My CPAP machine isn't working and I gotta take it in. That and I kept having muscle spasms early in the morning.

Dee

[Sugar Smack]

37. Damn, you're a cartoonist? So am I!

I'm sorry you couldn't sleep. And GOOD on ya for deciding where the hell you stand. We ain't right, and it's ok.

Here's my stuff, and welcome to DU!

:hi:

[Democracy White]

38. Oooooh I love your pics!

I still am learning on proportions and spacing as well as shadowing. I don't know how to do block shadowing like many of the superhero comics do.

Dee

[Sugar Smack]

40. Damn, girl.

You are GOOD.

I love seeing other women's artwork. Especially cartoons. I think I'm really going to like your heroine. :-)

[Democracy White]

41. Thanks

Like I said I still gotta learn. I got to see my art tutor soon as I get my homework done. It's been 4 months now and I got skeddaddle on it.

Dee

[Sugar Smack]

47. I can't believe YOU'RE not the art tutor!

WTF? You're great! I'm glad you have your stuff as a sig line. I should change mine to something more dramatic, you're making me think.

[Democracy White]

48. LOL

Isn't there a forum where people can put up their comic book work? My art tutor tells me I should get some stuff on the Net. My mom has me paranoid though, she keeps telling me that someone would steal my work.

Dee

[Tsiyu]

42. How cool!

Sugar Smack, you are as right as rain!

[Sugar Smack]

43. buddyhollysghost!!

hey! hey!!!!
:bounce: and :hi:

How are you?? Are you having some fun today? I, for one, am wishing fun on ya with the fondest of my heart!!

Did I tell you I like your brain a lot?

Thanks for the compliment. :D

[Tsiyu]

45. Awwwww!

( have you seen my brain, BTW? I think menopause snuck off with it!)

I have actually had something quite miraculous and wonderful happen. I set all the kids on chores - washing the siding on the trailer, boxing up some junk, cleaning out the stuff in a car that I am sick of looking at and will have hauled off Monday). Well, my son comes in from the car and says "antigone382 said you would be happy to have this" ( he used her Sister name, not her DU name, but anyhoo...)

I almost screamed and jumped for joy.

What was it?

A round metal cookie tin, maybe 12 inches diameter, red with Currier and Ives design on top. What's in it? 25 years+ of cookie cutters I thought had been lost forever!!!!!!!There is one that was my Grandmother's. Many that I bought kids over the years - Shape of continental US, dinosaur, horses, puppy-shaped, you name it.

I had taken them to someone's restaurant when she needed some help ( I was baking and stocking her cookie shelves to help increase sales) and I thought they were lost since she ended up tanking on alcohol and her restaurant was closed.

But now they were in that old Nissan ( it died coming up the mountian one day) all this time! I really missed them this past Christmas, so i am thrilled. A small thing, but there are years of memories in those cookie cutters!

Thanks for asking and hope I didn't bore you. I lurveya Sugar Smack!!!

[Sugar Smack]

49. NAW! You didn't bore me in the least!

I'm telling you, I LOVE that shit- coming across something a little precious. AND, I have a really huge taste for the absurd. I love the absurd, and I love it when weird stuff happens. You know what my friend and I saw the other day? Someone's shoes being carried up into the stratosphere by a bunch of mylar balloons! It was just a prank, but it was funny as hell.

The cookie cutters remind me of what it's like to dig through a time capsule.

How nice for you.

I lurveya too, buddyhollysghost!

[swag]

36. They ought to call you "mentos,"

because you're fresh and full of life.

[Sugar Smack]

39. Oh, swag, this just proves you ain't right either.

And I :loveya: for it. Mentos.

If I weren't content right now, the next thing to it would be starring in a fabulous European candy commercial.

You = Fabulous.

[swag]

50. As we used to say in South Shaw, circa 1985,

"y'all's shit ain't right."

It's just a part of what makes you a fascinating and enjoyable person.

Carry on. I'm glad you had a beautiful day.

[Sugar Smack]

51. Thank you honey.

And you crack my shit up, and y'alls shit ain't right.

I hope you had a beautiful day, bijoux.

[GirlinContempt]

44. These things happen

;)

[Sugar Smack]

46. They do happen

and I'm deciding to try & make the best of it. What about you, honay?

[gmoney]

52. You are ALL RIGHT!

Your giddiness is infectious... looking forward to a photo of the new henna'ed bouffant. :)

[In_The_Wind]

53. I think that you're just right ... perfect as you are

:hug:
