It's "Missed Me?" Friday MKF! 11/29/02

[tommo]

Yeah, I've been away. What do you mean you never even noticed? Now, I know there's been "talk" about where I've been and what I've been doing. Here's the truth...as I know it...

I went walking over the weekend. Lost, in the internet-less world of no phone line and I got all kind of turned around in the woods at Alderley Edge. Then something odd happened.

Throughout the ensuing scene we see the First Kitten through the flames, sometimes obscuring her entirely.
RUTH: I know you. You're the first Kitten.
FIRST KITTEN: This is a form. I am the guide.
RUTH: I have a few questions ... about being a Kitten. What aboutwhorishness? Not just chat whorishness.
FIRST KITTEN: You think you're losing your ability to be a ho.
RUTH: I-I didn't say that. (sighs) Yeah.
FIRST KITTEN: You're afraid that being on the Internet means losing your humanity.
RUTH: Does it?
FIRST KITTEN: You are full of whorishness. You ho with all of your soul. It's brighter than the fire ... blinding. That's why you pull away from it.
RUTH: (surprised) I'm full of whorishness? I'm not losing it?
FIRST KITTEN: Only if you reject it. Whorishness is pain, and the Kitten forges strength from pain. Be a slutgiveforgive. Risk the pain. It is your nature. Whorishness will bring you to your gift.
RUTH: (pause) What?

***

Cut back to RUTH in the woods.
RUTH: I-I'm sorry, I, I'm just a little confused. I'm full of whorishness, which is nice, and...whorishness will lead me to my gift?
FIRST KITTEN: Yes.
RUTH: I'm getting a gift? Or, or do you mean that, that I have a gift to give to someone else?
FIRST KITTEN: Smutfic is your gift.
RUTH: Smutfic
FIRST KITTEN: Is your gift.
RUTH: Okay, no. Smutfic is not a gift. My internet connection just died. I know this. If I have to write smutfic because it makes the world a better place, then I write smutfic, but it's not a gift to anybody.

The FIRST KITTEN is obscured by the flames, following the contours of her body.

FIRST KITTEN: Your question has been answered.

She, as well as the fire, disappears. All that's left is cold muddy leaves and the trampled bridle path of Alderley Edge. RUTH frowns in confusion.

So as you can see, I've had an epiphany of sorts. Who's have thought eh? Heh.

Anyhoo...I have missed the board. Even I can admit that. So what I was wondering was...what thing would you miss more than ever if you couldn't have it? And I guess that goes for Willow and Tara too.

Ooh, and apologies for this horribly self indulgent topic. But you know, have boobs, will travel.

[Triscuit7]

heh

Welcome back, Ruth-of-my-heart!

Well, I think I have the right answer for me. Actually it's a list - it's a thing, sorry, but I do lists. Mostly in my head, but anyway....

At the top: Darcy. Which is good, I think - after 18 years she should be at the top.

Next - Writing

Next - Cuddling, preferably with Darcy, but the cats will do in a pinch.

Family, both blood family and "acquired" family - the second are friends so close they're almost sibs or lovers.

Friends, in the flesh and on the net.

As for Willow and Tara - they would miss each other the most first then their friends, because hey, that's the way it is.

Ciao, Melissa

[skittles]

Ruth,

All I can say is welcome back... yes, I noticed you had gone missing.. but I'm glad that you have gotten unlost now...

[mollyig]

Welcome back [b:da30f21c1e]Ruth[/b:da30f21c1e]! I say you should heed the words of the wise first kitten. Fic truly is your gift, and by extension your gift to us. [img:da30f21c1e]http://homepage.eircom.net/~mollyig/stretch.gif[/img:da30f21c1e]

I could not be without music. Even thinking about being musicless for any considerable amount of time (i.e. more than a few hours) just scares me. Oh, and coffee, couldn't exist without coffee.

[Imperfectly Me]

Welcome back Ruthificus. The one thing that I personally can't live without...hmm. I would have to say friends. Without them I'd have been in a looney bin long ago.
As for Willow and Tara...I don't think I really have to state the obvious. Other than each other though, I'd say friends for them also. Oh, and willow's laptop.

[Still Waters Run Deep]

Of course we missed you Ruth, how could we not...............

FIRST KITTEN: Smutfic is your gift.
RUTH: Smutfic
FIRST KITTEN: Is your gift.
RUTH: Okay, no. Smutfic is not a gift. My internet connection just died. I know this. If I have to write smutfic because it makes the world a better place, then I write smutfic, but it's not a gift to anybody.

Does this mean that you are going to hotfoot it over to Pens and continue your magnum opus... Touchstone? please?


Glad to see that you are still in the land of *us* and not lost as some other poor soul was over the last few days. Although I have to say being on the byways of Alderley Edge in the weather we have had lately does smack somewhat of S&M. I could quite easily have visions of you wandering around lost, without you'r specs and running low on supplies, mumbling the Kitten Mantra [Amber is a Goddess, I am but a minion] to keep your spirits up.

What would I miss? Well I suppose I already do, since they are no more...no not that. but it counts. No I would miss cuddles, snuggles and all the accessories that go with them, you know long walks, log fires, hot chocolate with Jamesons. It's no so much fun on your ownsome.

*I need women in my life, if not neccessarily in my bed*

[FlereImsaho]

Ruth,

Yes I missed you! You don't know me, but I am addicted to your writing.

What thing would I most miss? Hope - is that a thing? If not, then dark chocolate. Yes, chocolate won over margaritas, but it was a difficult decision. Later in the day the decision might have gone the other way.

It is very nice that you are back.

-Brent

[LeatherQueen]

Ruth's been gone? Wow... so that's why it's been so quiet around her lately.

Well, what would I miss more than ever if I couldn't have it? Hm... I'd miss the Kitten board, and internet access, and my friends, and the lovely dancers who grind their hips into mine at SueEllen's...

But I suppose most of all I'd miss having my girlfriend. *sniff* Because I like to have her. I had her just the other day. So, yes, it'd be very sad if I couldn't have her anymore.

As for W/T, as everyone will probably say, they'd miss having each other most of all. And after that, I suppose they'd miss having games of chocolate-covered naked twister.

Have a good day, all!

[Dumbsaint]

Lately there have been people and things I've missed like pieces carved out of me. But they seem to be finding their way back, in some cases, not without some work on my part. Which, you know, is good. Because things that come easily, generally, aren't worth much to speak of. I think I have to go with Brent, though, and say that hope is the thing I miss the most when it parts ways with me. That and believing in myself. When I lose sight of one or both of those I find it pretty hard to see anything else.

Lucky for me, I have people in my life who are able to help me toggle that tendency of mine toward tunnel vision. And I'm getting better at tweaking that myself, too.

Rather obviously, as I've been bitching about it incessantly for the past week or so around here, one of the things I've missed- terribly -of late is the company of one Ruth. And as highly as I esteem your smutfic, Ruf, that's not why I missed you.

I just missed my friend.

[samiamiguess]

I was thinking about this and then it clobbered me over the head. What I would probably miss most is the ability to think too much. Yes it gives me headaches and countless sleepless nights but if things were ever quiet up there I've no doubt I'd miss it (and start thinking about it).

In general I would miss the concept of choice. It's essential for us to be who we are.

And personally I'd also miss love, both giving and receiving. (take that literally if you like) Without either I struggle. The fact that I'm with someone who loves me despite myself never fails to amaze me.

oh, and of course beer.

Sonya
Ruth, you probably have no idea who I am, but yeah, I missed ya being around. (God I sound such a suck-up)

[aimbly]

I hate it if i have to go a day without listening to music - and singing as well, even though im not at all talented in that area, it just gives me a lot of pleasure to hear lovely tunes and sing along.

And of course i have to go with the general concensus on love. It would shatter my world apart if the people whom i love, and who love me were taken away.

Umm, im thinking it'd be pretty shite if i couldnt have food either. Not just cus...well id die, although that would be pretty awful, but i just love food. The smells and tastes, and........and if you ask me, a good meal brings people together. Yes so cooking - and the sharing of cooking i guess.

Aimee

[pagnmickie]

First of all... Welcome Back RUTH!!

Secondly, what would I miss most of all... definitely my gf. She's pretty much everything to me.

Then, my internet connection! OMG I would DIE!

<-- This is what I look like right now! *sniff*

[Rosenberg]

Ah Ruth, your absence has indeed been noticed and keenly felt. Its good to see that youve returned to the Land of the Kittens. That brings me to the answer of what I would miss if it were gone primarily Ruths smutfic, of course. After that, I would probably miss more mundane things, like my health, my paycheck, my home, my car, my friends, the kitten board, etc

[MadeinNZ]

What? You weren't around Ruth?

[La]

the one thing i'd miss the most if i didn't have it? food. i like food. in fact, i love food. i love food so much that i am thinking of dropping out of divinity school and going to culinary school instead. well, maybe not, but it's always an idea in the back of my mind.

[starlitefaeriegrrrl]

The thing I would miss most? Kenda, without a doubt. As cheese as it may be- she's my air, my water, my sunlight, my fire, my earth. She helps me grow and keeps me alive. I would give up anything to be with her for always and if I lost her I would be an empty nothingness sort of gal for ever and ever.

Second? My family. Third, my cat, Kat. Fourth, my stories I've written, and poems. Fifth, my stuffed animals.

If it is, then it appears he's kinda gettin' around.

[Puff]

Nice to see you back Ruth, I missed you around

Weird day for me today. Kicked in the wrist by a horse, nice and bruised now. And I find out that my brother has been in a car crash and is now in hospital having bones refixed etc. Humm at least it is a long weekend for me.

[walker(d)]

Whenever I have gone away for any length of time I have missed -
1. Family and friends. Fairly obvious but where would we be without them? A whole lot richer around Christmas time that's where.

2. Music. I actually felt like hugging my CD collection when I got back from travelling round Europe. Stupidity dictated that I only took two mix tapes with me for the whole trip. Still, Czech radio stations are fun too.

3. Newspapers. I know this is really, really sad but I just can't not know what's going on in the world. It drives people mad when I go on holiday with them.

4. Irn-Bru. It's a soft drink that's found in few places other than Scotland. It is nectar in a bottle and I really miss it when I have to go without it for long periods of time.

I think that Tara and Willow would miss -
1. Each other if they had to be seperated for any length of time.

2. They do miss MKF. She hasn't been around in ages.

3. Tara pancakes if they had no cooking facilities where they're going. And yes I do mean Tara pancakes not Tara's pancakes as Tara pancakes are a breed apart from your garden variety pancake. I know. I've been reading too much fan fiction.

[urnofosiris]

Oh bummer, I only had 1914 posts to go before overtaking you.

[tommo]

I shall go away for longer next time Garfield, just for you, sweetie.

[urnofosiris]

Ruth this is for you, because I really did miss you.

(Kylie)
Especially for you
I wanna let you know what I was going through
All the time we were apart
I thought of you
You were in my heart
My love never changed
I still feel the same

(me)
Especially for you
I wanna tell you I was feeling that way too
And if dreams were wings, you know
I would have flown to you
To be where you are

(Kylie)
No matter how far

(Together)
And now that I'm next to you

(me)
No more dreaming about tomorrow
Forget the loneliness and the sorrow

(Kylie)
I've got to say

(Together)
It's all because of you

Chorus : (Together)
And now we're back together, together
I wanna show you my heart is oh so true
And all the love I have is
Especially for you

(Kylie)
Especially for you
I wanna tell you, you mean all the world to me

(me)
How I'm certain that our love was meant to be
You changed my life

(Kylie)
You showed me the way

(Together)
And now that I'm next to you

(me)
I've waited long enough to find you
I wanna put all the hurt behind you

(Together)
And I wanna bring out all the love inside you, oh and

(CHORUS)

(Kylie)
You were in my heart
My love never changed

(me)
No more dreaming about tomorrow
Forget the loneliness and the sorrow

(Kylie)
I've got to say

(Together)
It's all because of you

And because I do not want to be the only one with this damned song stuck in my head. Enjoy. [img:31269e7508]http://jeeptalk.org/crack/smilies/contrib/scorchio/sgrin.gif[/img:31269e7508]

[tommo]

Oh Garfield...*sniffle*

You love me. You really love me!

[technopagan78]

Welcome back, Tommo. Oddly enough, you are not the only kitten to have made its way home, today.

This afternoon, a friend of mine finally returned. One of my favorite spots to write is a small nineteenth century cemetery not too far from where I live. The grounds are in a sad state of disrepair and are slowly going back to the wild. I often see coyote roaming about, as well as the occasional fox and skunk. But my most faithful friend is a tiny black and white cat, who slinks about looking for mice to eat. She's never come within a ten-foot radius of me, but she no longer runs when I get out my car. And I think she rather likes the glow of my laptop screen. Over the past year, she's become my muse of sorts. When I'm stuck inside some particularly pointless paragraph, I watch her romp about until my brain is able to reboot.

Anyway, at the end of October, she went missing, and I was terribly afraid the coyotes, or something far worse, had finally caught up with her. But today I saw her, big as life, sunning herself atop a broken down tombstone.

Welcome back Tommo and welcome back cemetery cat.

[xita]

Oh i missed my ruf like a pimp misses his whore. Sigh.

Oh things I'd miss, i'd miss the kitten board, I'd miss my girlfriend, even when things aren't so good. I'd miss working. I would. And I miss free time for doing things non w/t related, like playing video games or reading books (not fic )

[Yelowsub]

Welcome Back Tommo, I feel like your smutfics have been a gift to all of us

[taralicious]

It is with great happiness that one of the pre-eminent smutfic writers of this or any age has returned to the fold.
I would be completely lost without:
1.The ability to read. I absolutely am a slave to reading. I'd lose myself all the time if I could.
2. My imagination, which allows me to create and control fictional worlds of my own to balance out this random and chaotic one we live in.
3. My big black fat ball of cat fur named Midnight.

[kbk3022]

I missed you too Ruth, I'm so pleased that you're back.

[SJ]

Good to see you back on the boards Ruth.
