Journal SolemnDragon's Journal: ...With a monkey. 16
I'm tired, but otherwise doing all right. Don't have much to talk about. Solemndragon.org is coming along nicely and i've got a lot of work cut out for me that i'm not getting done very quickly.
I need a nap.
I am finding myself more reluctant to diagnose the ills of others as i realise how loathe i am these days to discuss in any detail my own. and that goes for mental/emotional peculiarities as well as physical. I don't need anyone telling me what they think of my coping skills, so i'm a lot less likely to tell you what i think of yours.
This is a good thing; i've always been rather too outspoken about such things.
i am still missing my former friend. I guess that's just how it works. I don't need closure, or other advice, i just want to share a little tiny bit of my sorrow. Can you tell i've been having to deal with a lot of unsolicited advice and diagnosis lately? Yeah. I'm pretty fed up. Any more and i might go into seclusion.
No, no, no. I don't mean the advice and diagnoses that you throw at me JUST in response to such a challenge. That won't send me into seclusion, it will only annoy me, so knock it off, you monkey. Sheesh.
Oh, smoochy, stop making rhesus noises. You know i think of you as a capuchin instead.
And Ethelred, get down off the piano. That was not a blank check for lesser primate mimicry. Honestly, what gets into you guys?
Oh, hokie- come on, i didn't mean any insult to the monkeys- i- stop throwing bananas! This is not fair!
Fine. I give up. Throw bananas. Anyone else?
*runs and hides under the coffee table*
Oke, fine.
Tell me your favourite monkey story!
Incidentally, the title comes fromt he fortune cookie game, where you read your fortune aloud, and then add, "With a monkey."
"You long to see the great pyramids of Egypt. With a monkey."
"You will find an old friend. With a monkey."
"Honesty and fair dealing follow you everywhere. With a monkey."

The End.

I have a great monkey story (Score:2)
They gassed the monkey. They probably threw the drapes away.
Or there was the time we were watching this nature show on the predatorial habits of chimps and it showed them running a pick on a monkey through the trees: the chimps would set an ambush

So..monkey story. I have none of my own, my mother would never get me a monkey as a child no matter how often I asked. Not a real monkey. Toy stuffed monkeys are not the same.
Anyway, I share a monkey story from a former co-worker. When she was a child, her parents were monkey sitting, and had a monkey in the back yard in a cage. They told her and her siblings to not mess with the monkey.
Later, when the parents were not around, the kids were bothering the monkey, poki

we could all write our sentances and then at the end put 'in bed' at the end. in bed. you'd be suprized at how effective it can be, even without trying. in bed. of course we can all come together and in the end it might be interesting what we think of. in bed. alright now i'm trying to force the humour down your throats. in bed. but it seems like it's getting funnier or maybe just a little warm in here. in bed. talk to you all later. in bed.

Well, what I would...
Ahem.
What I wouldn't do, since I am not nearly brave enough, but I think might be fun anyway; is to throw a brick at anyone offering unsolicited advice. Particularly if said advice involves the unspoken assumption (which most unsolicited advice does) that you were doing something wrong in the first place, and that's why you need the advice. I understand that a good bricking can be expected to deter any further instances of advice. Flames are also helpful.

Anyway, I'm, like, sitting in this office, and suddenly everyone looks at me. Joe, this guy who's always so outspoken, and a little too much so - if you know what I mean - well - Joe says, Allen, you'r shivering.

Been there, done that. It didn't help. But it was probably the right thing for me at the time. Being a natural recluse kinda helped too. I'm not exactly a "people person".
Err... monkey story. The only thing I can think of was a visit to Gibraltar around 20 years ago. One of the Barbary apes[1] stole a sandwich from a tourist. Not much of a story, but it's all I've got right now.

It's about a monkey that was born out of a stone who learned the secret of immortality and caused mischeif in heaven.
Then he got punished and had to accompany a buddhist priest on a pilgrimage thru the Himalayahs to India to pick up some sacred scriptures.
On the way they have fun adventures - a very entertaining read that also inspired a TV series. The 16th centuray chinese novel, of which I read a translation, is

Nor do I have any accurate diagnoses to give out. I know that you have a food allergy or two, so the best I can say is to either try to not eat those foods or (and now for something completely different) try to not lift anything over 25 pounds with your hair. This is due to either an issue with your Xiphoid Process [wikipedia.org] or perhaps a sprained uvula [wikipedia.org]. I'm
