No sign of your hubby is there Ag?
A male cuttlefish seeks out a female and then protects her aggressively from other males. He displays brilliant zebra stripes which act as both a courtship advertisement and a warning to competitors.
Hmm, physical house has NO spare room and far too much clutter for my spartan preferences. It drives me a little potty sometimes.
Mental rooms, now...
HUGE music collection, remembered word for word on some albums.
Probably full of those cherished and quirky souvenirs, from my many travels...
Another room filled with my version of HAL. "I'm sorry, Archergirl. I can't let you do that...it's illegal in 21 countries!"
Oh you should go for a walk Smiley... a walk is great for the soul. Let's never appologise to each other again. Ill presume you are not getting at me and you can do the same. I'm dead nice me, as I said before.
No, I just scarpered back to the story I'm writing, rather than a literal scarper.
I have just returned from the beach where I was hoping to find a reclining squirrel, eating a walnut whip and celebrating it's escape from confinement.
Since it was rainy and grey my hopes were not that high.
Wondering along dreaming of nuns I discovered that the council in their eagerness to build sandcastles (or whatever) - with a big digger - had knocked down the retaining wall at the top of my favourite bit of beach and consequently (using typical council logic) closed the path that runs parallel to it. Of course this is to keep people from getting under the feet of the none existent workmen! 'Birds singing in the sycamore tress...' I blame you for this Jude...
Instead of fights, one could always exchange rude emoticons I suppose... there must be some about. Just going to do some googling.
Actually I think Radios comments were quite fair. Considering. Go Radio Go.
I mean, I _know_ I do some good writing sometimes; and I know that the rest of it, which is most of it, is mediocre at best. That's okay. I don't feel the need to justify myself one way or t' other. It's my personal feeling that people become too 'plugged in' to life; they start taking themselves waaayyy too seriously. I'm not speaking of particular individuals, but 'people' as a whole. Life is too short and funny and precious to be so damn serious all the time. I've been through the fire, stood at the edge of abyss, and decided that actually, it's all pretty flippin' humourous in the end. We're all just actors in some poorly-directed comedy show.
Since I started this I must say that if I were Andrew and Ferg and going to the ABC do (which I'm not) - I'd probably arrange to meet up before hand to avoid embarassment. You know what I mean everybody watching expectantly to see what happens: too much pressure. Walk in together and it will avoid most of that and then you can please yourselve :o)
I'm merely passing the time, waiting for either Missi or RadioD to say something that lights my firecracker. I can talk rubbish all night. I'd prefer to talk about something interesting, but it's been a little thin on the ground lately. Sorry guys...
It depends on lots of other things, flash: Moon signs, Venus/Mars signs/aspects, etc.
For example, the love of my life is/was a Taurus. Sadges and Taureans traditionally don't make a great pairing, BUT, my Moon and Saturn were conjunct his Sun and Mercury (very good); my Mars was conjunct his Moon (very good, very hot!); our Venuses were in trine (very very good); our Marses were sextile (very good), etc.
So, sure, two Sadges can make a very good pair, if a little erratic. It'd be a relationship with a great deal of 'space', as neither would be likely to want to settle down _too_ much.
Why, ya got one in mind?
*wink*
Your hearing is deficient, mykle, like your brain and your attraction to women.
Me? I'm attracted to ALL women, why should bits of paper make a difference? Happily married people aren't playing, unhappy ones are already 'single'.
The difference between you and me is, 'I' have never chased a woman in my life, and if any show an interest in me I am usually the last to know, and not a little surprised, whereas you are so fucking conceited you couldn't possibly contemplate that a woman might find you boring and unattractive.
Now why don't you just shut your stupid mouth before you provoke me into saying things YOU will regret?
We all get Brownie Points, Ag.
I read something, a comment by Fergal I think, which seemed to believe that Karma is something you deserve a bit like the Job's conforter thinking - I think it's much closer to grace and sin: kind of just balances out over time.
Bit calmer now. You do gain my respect for not rising to my flame there, Gary. Credit where it is due.
Not going to the abc do - the last one didn't work out terribly well for me. I prefer being an enigmatic man of mystery. And I don't know that I could handle dating a girl who is (a) a better writer than me and signficantly (b) still writing and not in a long-standing writer's block that she should really get over and write some bloody poetry because she is bloody good at it.
(That makes no sense to anybody other than the intended recipient, who is not our quirky Undertones fan)
Wouldn't it be funny though, if we did hit it off and people seeing us together were mistakenly addressing Hayley as Emily and Andrew as Fergal, thinking that we were using our real names and genders here?
By the way Hayley, when you meet George, don't shake his hand - he has a sly trick about that.
Firstly, there has never to my knowledge EVER been a problem with 'strangers in reality' meetings between members at any ABC meeting.
Secondly, when people have met face to face they are very often surprised to find their preconceptions are so wide of the mark as to be useless.
If Andrew (who I have met, and like very much), and Haley who I have never met, and also like very much) were to both turn up it would be a very pleasant and embarrassment free experience for both of them, I am sure. I suspect if mykle turned up it would be slightly weird, but nevertheless, no problem.
The problem with emoticons is that when they are first instigated on a site some people treat them like toys. (In the initial days of UKA emoticondom some people practically gave up using the English language completely)
Pictograms however are used everywhere, the most obvious example being on toilet doors. They bridge languages perfectly.
It's occurred to me that if we could swap the standard pictogram on toilets with emoticons, we could have a guy doing his zip up on the mens toilet, and a woman fixing her lippy on the womens.
I'm not convinced; you make it sound like Buddhism is just a means to escape the pain of life: a common belief perhaps. I think that it's more a desire to unite with the infinite.
"why should bits of paper make a difference? Happily married people aren't playing, unhappy ones are already 'single'. "
Damn, Missi, you've hit the bullseye with that one! At last, someone who understands!
Perhaps you can tell me Archer why Sainsburys is full of flirty women and Tescos isn't - must be something to do Sainsburys with being up market I suppose. Still i hear good things about ASDA :)
I remember well that when Hayley first joined the site and posted a piece my comment included that I saw some likeness to Andrew's writing. I'm beginning to see conspiracy here...Andrew, are you Hayley? Are you Siamese twins dreamed up in a novel? Joined at the hip?
Oooh, I only ust saw that remark George. Thanks. I am looking forward to meeting you too (although don't be offended if I don't shake your hand...) People can come across very differently in type than in real life, though I like to think I'm not *that* different.
This keyboard is rubbish the letter ' ' doesn't work. The one between 'I' and 'K' doesn't work at all.
A friend of mine disclosed to me that Tesco is, indeed, the preferred store for chavs.
MY Tesco, however, is distinctly un-chavvish.
Perhaps you have a chavvie Tesco? Said chav ladies do not prefer your urbane countenance?
ASDA is the chavviest of all, from what I gather...
