For Skip.
Broken ~ Seether

I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph; I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

‘Cause I’m broken when I’m open
And I don’t feel like I am strong enough
‘Cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome
And I don’t feel light when you’re gone away

The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There’s so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

‘Cause I’m broken when I’m open
And I don’t feel like I am strong enough
‘Cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome
And I don’t feel right when you’re gone away

Thank you Lexi

Turn my back on the forum for a few days and look what happens. Shit!

STO was not a friend, but he was a welcome and cherished fellow traveller.

He is the second high profile Pixie I have said goodbye to and do not look forward

to the third.

Pixies is a place of life and joy and hope, and this is, in part, their legacy.

omg , i log in to see what ive missed, looks like more than i thought. he and i wernt real close but i still luved to read his posts and chat w him, he was a wonderful man and i cant belive hes gone

~nikki

I cant believe he has gone Lilith, I knew him from chat and we had a good laugh together, for that i will always be greatful STO You brightened my day when I spoke to you and gave me hope at times even when you had no idea you had done so. I will miss you

i've got to stop working so much. skip was among the first to give me a big,goofy friendly cheerful welcome when i found pixies, and made me laugh over and over until he left us in the spring (skippy monkey tail...that slayed me). i was confused...since i was new and wasn't aware that he was planning to leave the community. i was sad when he left, because i didn't get to know him better. then he came back, and i was pleased, and confident that i would find time to sit down and log into chat and get giggling from something he said. now i'm kicking myself in the ass for putting it off (cuz i just knew there would always be plenty of time...) and for the fact that i never told him how much he made me smile and how much i appreciated it. skip, man, i'm sorry i put it off and i hope you know what a truly cool, sweet person you are. were. are...yeah...are. lots of people here loved you, and lots of us still do. hope your clearing is bright and beautiful and your crossing into it was painless.

It's funny you should say that dicksbro, because my very first coherent thought after I read the news about Skip was that for some reason he now felt closer to me than ever before. Previously there had been an ocean between us, and now he's everywhere that I am, around all of us, all of the time.

And stupidly, whenever I catch myself doing something unladylike when no one else is watching (yes women do need to pick their noses and pass wind sometimes too) I can't help but thinking 'OMG Skip will see me doing this'!

Well, thanks for putting that image in my mind :eek:

Ohhhhhhhhhhh....heavens to mergatroid Loulabelle! As if I'm not paranoid enough...now I have to worry if skip is laughing at my bodily functions!!!!!

One thing I can rest assured by...skip now believes me when I say..."when woman are alone...we can fly!" Seems men think I'm making that up. How else can we do so much from sun to sun and then some...whilst men can only do the sun to sun thing and then...poof...they are done?!

*shrug*

oh wow that is definitely shocking news


he will be greatly missed

Yep...I still miss him. Every moment I am at Pixies ~~ and many I am not ~~ I've thought of him. Skip, I hope you find happiness........
