<dumping the stolen men's underwear and speedo's in the hot tub walking away and sitting down>

Somewhere out there, beneath the deep blue sky, someone's thinking of me...
and even though we may be far apart it helps to think we might be sleeping underneath the same big sky.

Wow its nice and quiet here outside. I think I'll take this moment to write in my Journal....
Dear Diary: Well here I am day1, there are some great people in here. We seem to be getting along so far. I miss my friends, and hope they are coping well. I wonder what my son is doing. He's just begun Grade 12, Gold Honor Roll student, he cried when he saw me off at the airport. He knows I love him, and if I ever had a chance to communicate with him from here, I would certainly pick him. Without a second thought. My family and friends come first to me!
As I enter into this Thanksgiving Canadian Weekend, I give thanks for my family, friends, and think of the Trudeaus whos family has had such sad losses with Pierre and of course Michel, 2 years ago. There will be a mountain named after Michel, he died in an avalanche in my area. But now his loving father, Pierre has joined him in heaven. Well diary, time to go inside and mingle with my new found friends. Signed: Vykin

All seems to be quiet. Lots to reflect upon.

Are you still here? It's pretty dark out here and I can't tell for sure.

<still talking to myself--enjoying the first day of the game>

This is great! I do wish someone was still up though. So much better to talk to another than myself--at least I don't know how it would turn out! <feeling warm inside with the folks I'm in here with>

The stars are watching us--our friends on the outside are watching us. We are watching each other! <knodding about our friends>

The Boss---"Hey little girl is he good to you..."

I am still awake! I brought out an extra beer - do you want it?

Just so they don't get the wrong idea . . I was finishing the verse of the song for you. :) Not that I am not on fire, just needed to clear that up.

Talisker---LOL!! Have a seat if you would like to join me. How are you feeling about all of this?

Talisker

Sure I'll join you, do you want my extra beer? I think this is all a little bit scary. When I leave here, I know what I will be doing . . nothing in here will affect that. Just scary to wonder how people in here feel about me, and people out there feel about me.

Glad to have you join me! I'll have a beer with you--thanks much!

So, what will you be doing once you leave here--what's waiting for you on the outside???

Sorry to hear you are afraid. As long as you are yourself with others, I bet you will be well liked.

I will go back to the same job I had, hopefully one of my sweeties will be waiting for me. I don't know if it is enough to be yourself, sometimes, one little typo will get you in trouble with those that don't speak typo-ese. You think you are being a good person, but they don't see it that way. What about you, what do you think of all of this? Did you leave anyone behind.

I think this is great! It's a game, and an unusual one at that!

I hope it's enough to be yourself (myself). It's all we really have....if others can't handle who we are, then at least you know it's because of who you are, and not because they think of you as someone phony.

I didn't leave anyone behind. I've been unattached for years now.

I remember you saying you were a crew chief for 4C fighter jets. That's pretty interesting to me. How did you like it?

What can I say? It was a great way of life - it was scary and exciting you actually felt like you were part of the real Air Force - Much responsibility came with that job. One loose screw could crash a jet. Even on the ground, you had to be very safety aware or could hurt yourself or others. Had a lot of scars on my back and head from hitting panels that were down. But, it is an experience that made me who I am today. :)

I only did that job for 4 years . . later decided to change to working with mainframe computers. Saw the stress on the flightline and saw men having breakdowns from the pressure. 30 year old men looked 50. Knew that it was not the life for me.

That sounds pretty intense!

You said one of your sweeties?? That's doing well! LOL Do you have a favorite out of the group of guys? And what are you doing in life now, if that's ok to ask?

Talisker

Sure, I have one guy I am kind of sweet on, doesn't everyone? Well, I don't want to get too specific about what I do now, but I do still work a lot with computers in my spare time. Mostly trying to figure things out and make them less of a mystery to others. I have another occupation but don't want to talk about that right now. Maybe after we get to know each other a little better . . . . . want another beer?

Roger_Ramjet

Sure, I'll take another, as long as you will have one too.

No, I don't have that one guy I'm sweet on. LOL (I can be such a smart ass)

A mysery occupation?? Well, discussing it would certainly be one way to get to know each other a little better. If you don't want to discuss yet, thta's cool--I can respect that. Form my point of view, unless you were a drug dealer or a murderer, I can respect your job.

So, whta's your man like? Was he bothered that you came in here?? I notice Monika didn't like Eddie being in BB--well at least by her reaction. LOL

Nothing too bad about my occupation. Just with the new identities we had to come up with, would be a dead giveaway, you know?

I don't think my current friend has a problem with it. He wanted to be here but they only allowed a certain number. What can I say, he is smart and he writes good posts. :)

Of course if this were real, we'd all know each other! The issue of keeping who we are a "secret" is for the folks watching us (one would think that if I knew person X on the outside, I'd know them now! LOL

Did your sweetie apply?? There were a number of guys that applied and didn't make it that have had some excellent posts. I thought Host had the toughest job--no way everyone was going to be 100% happy. Personally, I have enjoyed everyone tonight. A pretty upbeat group!!

Yes, I think the hosts had a tough job. Hopefully they will show us in a good light. :)

Is it you who asks about epitaphs during interviews? Is interesting that you do that . . I try to live my life like that in a way.

When my father died, the one thing I noticed that everyone said about him was how he helped others. No matter what, you could count on him to help you out. Since then, I have made it a point to live like that. When I die (hopefully a long time away), that is how I want to be remembered.

Epitaphs--an interesting concept! What do you see yours saying??

It's amazing how many people don't know themselves well enough to say who they truly are in 1-4 sentences. Makes me wonder what they've been feeling about themselves all these years!!

btw, sorry about your father passing on. I've experienced a lot of death in a few years.

Sounds like your father lived a good life by most anyone standards.

As the saying goes; "You make a living by what you get. You make a life by what you give."

My epitaph will say (hopefully) that I was helpful, smart and funny.

Hopefully there are a few men will remember me for other things but I wouldn't really want to see that on my epitaph.
