I think, if there’s at least one person in this world that sees you in your true colours, you have a home. It only takes one person, someone you don’t have to pretend or lie to, someone you are willing to let in.
Otherwise you are what Lloyd Cole used to sing in that song, The Fool You Are.
The fool you are in Manchester The fool you are in Maine
The lies you tell in Liverpool Will follow you to Spain
And the morning after Leicester Square
Is hungover in Rome And never again in Newcastle Is one more for the road It’s the fool that’s what you are

And you, my friend Chloe, are pure yellow
Nice to be back. I need to catch up.
November 27th, 2005 at 5:57 pm
Yes, there is one Chloe, your mama!
Listenig to ‘Famous Blue Raincoat” perfomed live by Lloyd Cole, coincidence?
Have a good night!

Cathy
welcome back! tell us all about it! we missed you.

this is funny. I was just reading your mama post. No, my mother will never see my true colours! She only sees the shiny, bright side and that’s my way of keeping her happy. I’m a big girl now. There are other people in my life now, stronger than my parents.
Having said that, i think my parents are the sweetest people. But i’m too protective of them to let them see everything.
And there are no coincidences!

And each of us strive our whole lives to find that one person, our home.
Sometimes we find it, but simply don’t know it. Other times the person we have sought for so long will never return the feelings we give them. Either way, I’m sure there are a lot of fools out there in the world.
Was that rather pessimistic of me?
November 27th, 2005 at 6:42 pm
i wouldn’t know Erikku. Right now i’m in a mood where pessimism seems life affirming.
Maybe these people are homes you rent. One day you’ll find your home. I’d like to believe that. Although i repeat it in a robot-voice.

Chloe;
First, put that dirty cigarette down and have a nice glass of champaigne instead. Where to begin? I flew to Toronto, Vancouver and then to a beautiful small town in British Columbia, nestled in the mountains. It snowed on Thursday, I had great meetings with fellow environmentalists, we had a huge snowball fight on Friday night…random thoughts of the entire trip still rumbling throuh my head. Overall very good, but I can not even come close to what some of my colleagues are up to because I am home to a young family now….
November 27th, 2005 at 6:52 pm
that sounds lovely Cathy! Snowball fight! i missed your posts, photos and baby news. xx

I think I am between homes right now.
November 27th, 2005 at 10:50 pm
i am also between homes right now…
and i feel like i’m getting a late start but i know i just need to keep looking
November 28th, 2005 at 1:36 am
A very good logic. Ofcourse, the person who really do, never shows it off - the love and care they’ve got for the other.
Everyone in this world, would wander for their home badly..

Doubt thou, the stars ar fire,
doubt that the sun does move;
doubt truth to be a liar;
but never doubt, I love.

that’s why all the cleaning.
friends can be that home. most of the time these are the people who see me at least as i am. I think lovers, even husbands see a slightly polished version.

house hunting can be exhausting. (Damn, this metaphor has gone on too long)
susubala
i like a bit of showing off once in a while! thanks for stopping by.

i’m baffled my friend! i already doubt all these things anyway.
November 28th, 2005 at 5:35 am
I found that home recently… but at the moment I’m a bit homeless… looking for the pebbles to find the way back…
November 28th, 2005 at 1:26 pm
I hope you are baffled in a positive way! I meant it positive.
November 28th, 2005 at 2:28 pm
You’re right, that’s what home is all about. Interesting lyrics…:)
I got a nice package on my mailbox today, if you know what I mean. I haven’t listened to it yet ’cause I’m having the busiest day. But thank you, it really cheered me up
November 28th, 2005 at 2:59 pm
ruby
i wish you’ll find your way back soon.
thanks for stopping by. xx
gurgo
yes, i was only teasing!
devil mood
so glad you received it! I hope you are going to like it. xx

That one person ! - I guess I am still looking !
November 28th, 2005 at 5:02 pm
it’s one at a time. i don’t necessarily believe in one person per person per lifetime
