I've been in thoughtful mode alot recently. Thinking about now, and the future, and where I'm going, what I'm doing. All these things should be considered, but not worried about. I wonder about the person I've become. I see my Mum look at me sometimes, and I know she doesn't get me. She doesn't understand my behaviour. I can dig that, because some of the things she does are alien to me. We are just different people, and I know she tries to understand me, and she does that because she loves me. I know that, and as long as I know that, this whole lack of understand won't bother me too much. My sister stayed last night, and though she is a huge pain, and has caused no end of trouble, her and my Mum share this special bond, because they get each other. Similar sense of humour, an understanding that I just don't have. I could hear the relief in my Mums voice that she had my sister there, and she wasn't just stuck with me. I don't say this in the, oh feel sorry for me way. That's not what it's about. I just know my Mum was pleased to have someone about she can relate to, and that's fair play.

I feel lonely at the moment. Not lonely in the way that I have no one around, because there's lots of people. Lonely in the way that I want someone to hold my hand, hug me, tell me everything will be ok. Someone to love me would be nice, and not in the way my family or friends do, but someone to love me for who I am. Someone who finds me so intoxicating they can't get enough of me, they love me no matter what. I'd like that. Someone special, to think I'm special. I've been thinking about it more and more. I want a companion. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not about to go and find random people and test drive them. I'm holding out for that special somone. Because no matter how much I want it, it isn't worth it with the wrong person. We all go through these phases I guess. I will get over it, and I'm sure that special person isn't to far off.

I've always slept with a teddy bear. A single teddy bear. Well he's not a bear, he's a monkey. He wears blue trousers, top and hat. He's had his mouth re-sewn on, and his eyes came to a tragic end when I was about eight, so he has buttons. I love monkey. He's always being known as monkey. I never gave him a name. I've had him since I was a baby. Every tough experience of my life he was there. When I went in hospital, he was there. When I cried at night he was there. I have this big double bed, and I sleep at an angle, so I make like a star shape across the bed. He has his own little corner. Monkey has gone missing though. I packed some things up for moving, and I think he got packed up. He's been gone for over a week. So my Mum has this monkey, that I asked if I could borrow, to take my Monkeys place till I find him. As I said above my Mum already thinks I'm weird, and this didn't help. She gave me her monkey though. Every morning she takes him back, and every night I go and ask for him back. I know I'm strange, at least I know it though.

I know a couple of dudes who look like monkeys... maybe I can fly them over to the UK, and you can hold and hug them n shit...

one of them looks like this



pretty hot huh?

Anywho - you're a very special girl, and if I were there, I would give you a big hug - not too tight though - monkey might get jealous and beat me with that stick of his!

BAM!!!

Someday you will find what you are looking for. In the meantime, animals (stuffed and real) are a big help. When my husband went to boot camp I slept with the teddy bear he had given me years before. I even washed the bear, doused him in my husband's cologne and dried him so that he would smell like my husband too. When he was in Korea, I had our 3 kitties, and I was never alone. Not nearly the same as having him home, but at least it was something. I hope you are able to find your monkey.

Aww that is so sweet, and as long as it was comfort to you, that's all that counts!

I hope you are able to find your monkey.


I hope I do! Thanks for the support!

You sleep with a monkey!??! Wow! So do i Well... sometimes... other times he just hangs around by my door watching me sleep like any good monkey or stalker would do. I have two monkeys (pictures are in an early blog of mine) and two penguins at the moment, but I grew up hanging out wuth a big ol' puppy named *drumroll* Puppy. He eventually had to be retired due to the fact of him becoming thread'bear' and being able to see his puppy guts. It was a very sad time indeed.

Also... I nearly fell off my chair when I saw LadyCleve's included pic (mostly because of me already being unsettled by seeing Mugz' MonkeyMagic pic). I have been using that pic on my LJ blog and MSN for years! Where did you pick it up from LadyCleve?

Monkeys rock!

Mignuna had an article last week about alternative smilies, and I bookmarked a couple of the sites that were mentioned. Here's the one with the monkey...Link


Enjoy!

Ahhh you are as imiganitive with names as I am! Hehe, my Monkey has almost come to a timely end on a few occasions. He has had major surgery, and made somewhat lobsided recoveries!

Thanks for the comment!
