Just another sometimes writer in Seattle sharing the crazy words floating around in my head. I’ve done a little of everything here. Feel free to poke around.
“I need a place where I can shout and weep. I have to be a Spanish savage at some time of the day. I record here the hysteria life causes in me. The overflow of an undisciplined extravagance. To hell with taste and art, with all contractions and polishings. Here I shout, I dance, I weep, I gnash my teeth, I go mad —all by myself, in bad English, in chaos. It will keep me sane . . .” – Anais Nin
Oh yeah . . . leave a comment if you’d like or you can e-mail me at auburn_dee@hotmail.com.

I just want to thank you again (my first thank you is back on my “Email” entry) for your comment. It made me feel a million times better than I had been feeling to know that there’s someone out there that understands how I’m feeling.
You truly make me smile. I’ve been reading through everything you’ve written and, blimey, has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are? Your words are lovely. Never stop writing; I’ll be checking back often.

Guilty!, Why do we women always feel guilty. Is it something hard wired in the female system? Maybe you say guilty, but it’s because the other feels are too hard to think about or it slips thru your fingers.

I have a question for you Miss Demure. I’ve noticed that you have a really wonderful community of readers. How did you come to attract so many visitors? The community you’ve built around your blog is inspiring . . . and I’m wondering if you have any suggestions for me . . .

I haven’t talked to you in a while . . . but I’m back . . .
Miss Demure, you were one of the very first to read the Las Vegas site. After four months straight I’ve finished the first part and I’d like to invite you to visit the finished product. I think you’ll be surprised how much it’s changed.
Love your words, keep up the excellent writing

Thank you very much for commenting. Thou art sweet to be so kind. I hate to think I’ve stolen anyones “desire” but…. actually I am not quite sure what stealing someone’s desire means. I’m assuming that’s a good thing, or something of the sort.
I like your quip about the “semi-colons”
Maybe someday you will teach me how to use one correctly, I still haven’t quite figured those silly things out. I keep telling myself “It’s a conjuntion, it’s a conjunction.” and all I can think of is that Shoolhouse Rock song Conjunction junction and I start singing “Conjuction juction what’s your function?” and before I know it I just slap in a period or a comma.

It has been a long time… and I am delighted to find that your are still plying your craft in a unique and thought provoking fashion. I’d love to catch up… and will try not to leave simply my smile as the rest of me vanishes.

I have been reading some of your earlier entries from 2007 onwards my friend and you have certainly offered many postings that would literally take me an age to go through, however I will be calling back to read more my friend and perhaps even add my thoughts as I journey through your Space…
Be well my friend and enjoy
the remainder of your weekend

Thanks for visiting my site, and liking my post. Hey, you know we’re both Seattlites! You worried about viadoom?
October 24, 2011 at 3:50 am
Miss Demure Restraint
*Giggle* “Carmageddon” didn’t impact Los Angeles like the doomsayers predicted. I not think “viadoom” will materialize either. People are pretty fleible and we are use to the traffic in Seattle sucking huge, giant donkey dongs. Thanks for stopping by.

That’s funny, recently, I heard that traffic was actually better than usual on the day of Carmadeggon.. lol
October 24, 2011 at 5:20 am
Miss Demure Restraint
As I said people are flexible. I do (and I may be tarred, feathered and run out of town on a pole for saying it) believe people in LA are better equipped to handle a traffic crisis than Seattlites. Most Seattle drivers can’t make up their minds and usually make the wrong choice when they do decide to take action. Seattlites are famous for the “Go,” “No, you go,” “No, no, you go” four-way stop dilemma. Its not that hard people. The first person at the stop goes first and if two people get there at the same time, the one to the right goes first. So, just go already!
Thank you for stopping by. Sorry about the rant.

Thanks for your concern. You are indeed a kind and caring soul. Had a bit of technical difficulty.
Now I’m dreadfully behind in moderating comments and have to catch up on everyone’s blogs.
See you over at your site soon.

Any help I can give, you just let me know. Any questions, I’m sure either I or one of my friends here will have the answers. I’m thrilled to see you here. I just left your space.

Things are a bit of a mess here right now. I never saw that one coming. Ran me down like a cross-town bus. Just running through the queue answering all the regualar commenters. Things should settle down soon.
Thanks for spotting it. I might not have, I just don’t look at the FP that often.

Hey!
This is to notify you that I’m sharing your site on my blog. In response to some various blogger awards I decided to make my own permanent recognition page for other blogs I love. You are on the list of links. Here is the link: http://fromscott.wordpress.com/favorites/

Well Miss D, I have decided to get a blogroll up and on the go and well, I’ve decided to stick you up there. I know what you’re thinking – “this is all so sudden, we’ve only just met, what will my parents say”… Don’t worry, it’s going to be fine.
November 23, 2011 at 12:43 am
Miss Demure Restraint
I think you’re right . . . about it being fine. I love your blog and had already planned to add you when I update.
Thank you and I’m sure it’s going to be a long and beautiful relationship.

Hey…..I haven’t seen you in print since the award was so kindly handed out. I hope you are taking a wonderful break from writing and all is well. Missing your blog and hope to see you back again soon.

Miss Demure Restraint
I’m back. I always come back, but thanks for noticing I was gone. I’m just struggling to find a balance between blogging and my freaking job search. I decided I need to spend more time looking for work is all. It’s so easy to drift over to the blog . . . more rewarding too.
December 6, 2011 at 3:00 pm
lorrelee1970
Wouldn’t it be great if the blog was the job? Good luck with it all.
December 6, 2011 at 9:44 pm
Miss Demure Restraint
LOL. I’m not sure if it would be my dream job or a nightmare. I’d probably be working 24 hours a day, but I think I’d put it in the dream category anyway.
Thanks, Lorre.
