I'm not really "blocked", Troosha ...

That would be fitting, I suppose, seeing as one time, he held my care bear hostage for several days.

You have, Kingmi? Really?
I guess you'll need to fill me in, then (on what you learned).
P.S. I have no idea what your blackberry has to do with anything, however.

You write nothing and attract such interest. Gotta love that! The block will pass....

Mademoiselle,
Hats Off to you you for something you don't write anything at all and getting so many comments, including mine too. That's really really fantastic, and very creative.

the plan is to plaster the neighborhood with lost posters with a picture of
your brother sleeping with his bedtime buddy.

Mad, I learned a lot about you from reading these comments today.
On the blackberry I don't know the select and background function, the computer is in the basement where I should be, but I am stuck on the couch listening to a new discovery: "Deep Tracks" on XM Radio.
Do you mean you really don't need the clicks, or you don't need my stinking clucks?

Thank you so much, fourcats ... I'm not sure I quite understand the plan, however.
I'll have to read it over when I'm actually awake (it's 3:30 AM here).

dear mademoiselle;
during these last couple of days, days that have seen me torn with self-doubt and acid reflux, i had a thought. about your brother and how you might be able to prank him back.
does he sleep soundly? 'cause i'm thinkin' you could take a picture of him sleeping with an outrageously childish toy of "imaginary friend" caliber. blow up the photo and make posters saying;
MISSING
HAVE YOU SEEN "PEE"?
REWARD
give height, weight, eyecolor, last seen wearing ( make it obvious it's the human that's missing)
goes by the name "pavel"
please return if you find him, i miss my cuddle buddy.

Now, I'm just worried, marieclaire, that I'll never be able to top this one.
Maybe, I should just retire from Blogit, and quit while I'm ahead.

I don't think Diane is in the book. The author dislikes gossip behind the back so people will have to enquire directly and hear it from the horse's mouth.

Eventful existences are highly overrated, Mademoiselle,
You do wonders with gnomes, attics and the occasional transient.

Mademoiselle, you go from lesbianism and peanut butter to drawing a blank?
Talk about sixty to zero! I have faith in you, that something will come up: your brother's girlfriend Michelle, the attic, the gnome in your neighbor's yard, the attic (yes, I've mentioned that twice, but I thought it merited a second mention), the dead neighbor, Mrs. Whatshername, your mother, Manon. Nothing?
BTW, I remember that post you linked to. The idyllic family outing, nature in all it's glory. Still, nothing? Hm.
