Night night gloria....i saw your posting on my thread
about nicknames......as i said in my reply...take the plunge.....write something...people won't laugh....we're all in the same boat here..............
l hadn't realised stormy was short....perhaps he may develop a few inches over the weekend. Will risk entering charity shop for pink jumper and green leggings in case
;-)
Wolfgirl (and all), I am, unfortunately neither tall, or a smoker and my hair is plain ol' brown. I'm an exceptionally average person in pretty much every respect. But if you want to see a pic of me, check out the Breaking Talent article on me (cheap plug) at www.getoutthere.com by going to writing > editiorial > breaking talent.
I don't know any of you and have given little thought as to what you look like. However, for decency's sake I must state for the record that I will almost undoubtedly look like my Granny one day. This is cause for concern as she has a bottom lip she could balance hamburgers on and a chest built like the thames barrier.
It would therefore be in everyone's interests never to invite me to a get together - my shelf-like anatomy would be damaging to health.

I just went to look at your link.

i imagine you all to be guardian/independent/tls clones, all river island chinos, flouncy ethnic skirts with tiny mirrors in, a lot of smokers, a lot of divorces, this tang of earnest humility, together making a sepia mist of like me like me, perhaps one or two people not wearing glasses, perhaps pockmarked by alcohol or a damaging relationship from which you emerged with a steadier but more tragic gaze than you had before, that's how i see you...and please, it's not intended to be insulting...i promise..
i have met lots of people that i have corresponded with on the internet, i met a beautiful woman, a journalist who covers all the film festivals, we had barely exchanged words, all on a level of " aren't people funny here " blah blah blah
we spent one torrid weekend in her flat, i met her friends, and that was that, beautiful
apart from that i have had five other " things " occur, all pretty wonderful, but massively flawed, all i hope, mutually inspiring, no horror stories save one stalker who only stopped when i rang the school where she worked as head of religous studies,
i think the danger of meeting people you correspond with on the internet is that you invest in a persona appropriate for the screen, that the natural disparity with reality, even for those who claim to be honest, forthright etc, can lead to a kind of wistful distancing..kind of thing..oh sheesh i am tired and the internet cafe is busy..
bye love you blah blah blah

Lliana - everyone always laughs when they read that (so do I). Don't know why they said fellow czech. It's not totally true. My grandmother and mother were from Poland/Czechoslavaki, and my bloodline runs very deep on that side of my family. The other side is deep in Norfolk heritage!
no .... but 133 is ...
previous holder of record on general discussion ... Ta Chucks ... (132)
so Ta Chucks Sucks ... and congratulations to the wonderful person who started this thread .... ooooooh ... it was me ....
I imagine a man.....small, hunched, saliva frothing in skinny bubbles from pinched lips, bemoaning the fact that he got into an exciting industry, when alas, everybody and their DOG has a PC, not to mention a free connection......every year, he takes a two day break to the swiss alps, to some remote little village, 5 miles from the real "happening" place, where he sits seething into his mulled wine.
He plots, oh how he plots..every night, he takes down a well thumbed pocket thesaurus, published in 1972, the year he failed his Uni entrance exam, and randomly pulls out 17 words, which he cunningly twines into a phrase he imagines will finally astound and not bore.
"How clever!" they'll all exclaim, he imagines, as he dribbles and stutters his way to the lonely little 486 in the corner....
Fools!! I mean you no harm, in my socio economical banteresque style publishing several pox ridden zebras over latte as we speak.
When if you tell several scenes?
Ha ha!
Retiring downstairs amongst peasants, I noticed mobilesque deterioration of several nights.
*collapses under imagined weight of own brain*
oh i like these posts..well done!!
yes chinos do make your arse look huge, i hate them with a vengeance...
for your information mystic, i left uni five years ago, did the most useless degree in the world, scriptwriting for film and television, i don't dribble and i certainly don't whine, i hate computers and i sell a lot more coffee than hotmail...if i had a choice in the matter i would rather have a table football cafe than an internet cafe, the internet is just FULL of people all clamouring for tiny gobbets of attention, said the pot as he admired the sheer solidity of his obsidian curves, and thesaurus? sheesh i can never remember how to pronounce that word, so buying one has been impossible to date...and i am an auto-didact apparently according to my academic friends...
i still imagine you all as adult education tutors...
rock on people
