.. you're naughty, your Lordship.. incorrigibly so.. (I thought you didn't like them being "lace" though??).. (me confused)..

.. oh, which reminds me.. I was going to do a sort of Lordship Homage, I think.. well, not really an homage.. anyway.. there really aren't enough hours in the day for all the little homework assignments I assign myself sometimes.. [violet stares off.. dreamily]...

'Ren Leaving'........? What a joke!.......WHEN?!!?? WHEN?!!? WHEN?!??

Still here, still posting, still impostering!

As they say here in my neck of the woods - "Here's your hat, what's your hurry"! Get it???

( but i do like your pome- Four Leonard :D )


p.s. How'd I do, Violet? Bit nervous on my first mission- does it show?

.. oh, definitely good work -- I like your spirit, Clo (!)..

... now.. do you want a breakdown of what's really going on here? or.. hmm.. never mind..

.. [actually, for my own breathtaking and cogent analysis of all things "Ren".. see the Ren is Leaving(Again) thread].. then we'll reconvene on:

.. "Just What To Do About His Lordship"...

... it's a new romantic comedy I'm working on.. [stay tuned]..

.. Clo.. I actually thought I knew what was going on at this place.. only.. well, after careful analysis [and some late afternoon Margueritas].. [oh, and I like the "ue" spelling of that particular drink, so don't correct me, you spelling/grammar/taser nazis out there] [yeah, like I really have to worry about that, with all the cave man scrawl scratched onto half these posts].. now what was --

.. oh.. yes.. well, I thought I knew what was "really" going on here, Clo.. only now I'm not so sure.. I mean.. I think the deception runs very deep, Clo.. very.. very.. deep..



THE VIOLET CONFESSIONS..

.. [written, no doubt.. on her lavender scented paper].. [known to be stained with tears].. [at times]..



.. now........... Geoffrey...................

.. it seems to me I've been unwittingly lavishing on you a lot of my "Lordship" worship.. (and you, no doubt, being the wan aesthete type that you are, are no doubt really enjoying it).... only, the thing is.. I mean............

.. isn't there some kind of romantic "law" being broken with this???..


.. I mean, isn't that sort of like: "copping someone else's feel??".. and if this indeed be true.. have you never at all considered just what you've been depriving our poor Lordship of in surreptiously doing this??.. and what of his [or is it mine?.. hmm.. have to retrace that one].. what of his [excruciatingly] private [and painful]
pink-lace panty-like fetish??.. and all the other secrety fetishy things [that only myself and my lord and master could ever possibly deign to know???].. [?????????????]

.. the point is, Geoffrey.. these are very very
private affairs.. and you've just.. well, you've..

.. [actually, I have no idea what I wanted to say just there]..

... anyway.. just know that I have my eye on you, Geoffrey.. and that what his Lordship and I both share you couldn't possibly understand.. not in twenty thousand million Geoffrey incarnations.. not in a one..

.... [I think I'll try a blueberry Marguerita now.. or wait -- Cate??.. it's been a while since we shared some of that lethal blueberry tea of yours.. I think it might be time for some serious "girl talk" -- oh, and Geoffrey?.. Cate and I have a special G-offensive lock on our personal messages here.. so don't think you can go and poke your pokey parker in there too -- you'll find you can't. HA! ]

.. well.. I guess that's enough of my burning confessions for now..

... be well, my Lordship... wherever you may be.. just remember.. once captured in the heart of a sweet violet flower.. forever captured in that heart will you be..

.. just out of pur

So Long,Don't tarry Ren

Curiouser and curiouser ,
it seems to me,
the more I look
the less I see.

This thread is dense,
And dimly lit.
A twilight zone
of stealth and wit.

Just Who is Who
or What is What,
Could the Kettle be calling
the Pot...a Pot??

So Ren - you're leaving..
well where's the proof?
Methinks you're just a
Silly Poof!!

I did my best
it wasn't much,
the hen(Ren)
still evades the hutch!

But have no fear,
Truth WILL out,
as sure as Guinness
is a powerful stout.

So Geoffrey/Harry/Jerry/Ren
the time has come,
the ink's in the pen.
We must all prepare now
for the fray.
And that is all I want to say.

My goodness dear Violet - do you have air holes in there? How's he going to breath!?

Blueberry tea! perfect for a chilly night
okay, throw a comfy sweater on sit back and let me make us up some blueberry tea's - if I remember how it's been a long time. I think I could probably use one tonight as I try to catch up and figure out what's going on ... my goodness what a busy day in this usually quiet little spot.

.. hmm.. I guess it would be more kind to give his Lordship a little air now and then.. still.. it's meant as a happy capture (!).. anyway, aren't you the one who likes ratchet straps?? (!)..

.. okay.. so.. get out the tea.. add the "drink".. I no longer remember exactly.. amaretto??.. hmm.. and something else.. but it was lethal, I recall.. and you suggested no more than two..

.. oh.. another "spinning" reference -- that last lethal hangover I had a week or so ago.. [sake, I'm afraid].. though I'm only just realizing its metaphysical [inter-dimensional] ramifications.. [who knew??]..

glad to see you tonight, Cate,

Ratchet straps - yep - but that's not like being closed inside of a flower... maybe I'm claustrophobic, I'd rather take stairs than an elevator any day.

the tea - ohh my gosh it's been a long time - it's important to use earl gray, one finger Amaretto, one finger an orange liqueur like Grand Marnier. That's it ... I think. I don't think I've ever had sake before, I've heard it's surprisingly strong.

Yes - that's the image I had with - 'once captured in the heart of a sweet Violet flower' was him captured inside the center of your flower (ummm ...now that I'm typing that a different image is coming to mindImage ... I was thinking a purple flower ... from a garden ... oh geesh I'm going to stop typing now)

.. oh.. didn't know you were there.. I just added the word "morning" which suddenly felt to be missing..

... well, as per my new Edict on things [in my message to his Lordship], I am trying now to be a good and well behaved violet flower, whose petals will need to be pinned closed, apparently.. since their "come-hither-ness" seems to be what's been getting me in all the trouble.. well, that.. and certain fetishes that I am now sworn never again to discuss.

I feel all pruned and de-swooned.. and rather dull.

Signed,
the newly reformed,
Violet Flower [x]



.. I usually forget to "quote" [which I've just done].. sometimes I just don't bother.. but I see you've changed the smiley.. I thought the blushing one good too (!)
