this ones for Gled & Anna ................

I remember seeing the film Trainspotting when it first came out.
Some blogs that I've subscribed to are on a similar subject.They fascinate me. I can feel their pain & their joy.I love people.
I'm attracted to things I know absolutely nothing about.
I went to see Trainspotting only because of the trailer with Iggy Pop in it. A long time fan, I'd seen Iggy Pop at Toad's Place. A guy beside me, an Austrian student convinced me after the show to try sneaking into Iggy's bus with him. I had on my black leather dress.Of course we were ushered straight out.
It's not that I want to try the drug myself.Curiosity killed the cat and I know pain, my hands were caught in many a mouse trap.
The only drug/medication I take long term is Xanax. I've been on it 20 years.
When I was taken off Xanax in a facility of the hospital I suffered 3 grand mal seizures & amnesia. I never felt as helpless.
I never again want to be at the mercy of psychiatrists.
I tapered down myself to 2mg daily.

I'm sure Xanax withdrawal is nothing like Heroin's.
My sister was a heroin addict. She no longer is.
She never used needles, she snorted.
Here's a great song of Iggy 's.

This ones for you Gledwood and 4 Anna.



And another great "Feel good" song,

So you really are a guy in a blue silk taffeta dress. Nice to meet you. Thanks for the name drop/dedication in your blog. I feel special. I've been trying to get Gledwood to put up a picture of himself for ages now, but he just won't do it. He tells me he looks like Kurt Cobain. I don't belive him. Not until I see the photo.
I love the movie Trainspotting, as you may have guessed, or read on my profile. Although my favorite song/singer on the soundtrack is Lou Reed. It's such a perfect day. They play it when Ewan's character OD's. Iggy Pop is a genius though. New York Dolls I like better. That doesn't matter though.
As far as dresses go, I like dresses that are poofy on the bottom and come in at that waist and are strapless. Must have a black ribbon around the waist just bellow the bust that ties into a bow. I don't think I described it good enough, that you got a good enough picture in your head. Think Vera Wang wedding gown. Think me skinny. I would wear it not getting married. I would wear it to someone elses wedding. Just because that's who I am. If you don't want someone to wear a wedding dress at your wedding, then don't invite me. Simple solution to a simple problem.
I wish you didn't mind followers. I would follow you in a minute. My blackberry now has your blogspot address in my phone, so I can check you out. How often do you blog? Once a week, once a day, once a month? Are you gay? If not you can be my stalker if you'd like. Even if you are you can be my stalker. Just don't kill me. Your not a serial killer are you? Your not going to do what happened in the song Polly by Nirvana to me? Am I losing a grip on reality? I must stop typing. I hope I haven't scared you off. I love your blog. I love the song you picked. I love your dress.

Anna,yes, I'm really a guy who loves taffeta dresses,no doubt about it.
Thank you for feeling special for this tiny tribute to you.
I didn't know Trainspotting was a favorite of yours.Actually I just read your profile now. Good we have similar film taste.
Your taste in fashion is intriguing. I do know the style of dress you described.
IMO, I think you'd look great in something tight with emphasis on the bosom,hey I'm a guy!
I really haven't bloged much. I write lots of poetry.
It's just lately I been bloging more,cause I'm on holiday and being alone makes me reach out & write more.
I agree Iggy Pop is a genius and a legend.
Most people initially assume I'm gay for my love of wearing of beautiful dresses.
But I'm not gay.I spent 4 years w/o any sexual connections and following those years of abstinence made me realize sex must have love with it.
I adore women really.Stunners like you. Looking and etc.I just haven't indulged much the past while.
Anna, I'm definitely not a stalker, don't worry.
Neither a killer. I have major respect for life.I prefer trying to help people as opposed to hurting/stalking.
That goes way against my grain.
From this message it seems to be that you don't mind having a stalker...but you are risking your safety.
Believe me it's not a stalker you want it's a man who poses no danger.
All of the best to you, Anna

I hear xanex withdrawal is actually much worse than heroin withdrawl, although I only know about the dope sickness myself. Trainspotting...an excellent move, but an even better book. Irvin Welsh is actually one of my favorite writers. He has quite a few really great books...

And who doesn't love Iggy Pop???

Hi Melons,
Xanax, I loved it so much, but still needed to taper the dosage after what I'd been through.
I'm so glad to hear you kicked your habit! If I were you, I'd know how proud I'd be.
I have not read the book, Train Spotting, but only saw the film.
I think I will read it though.
I love the 2nd hand book store nearby me.
Thank you for visiting and all the best to you,
j.
