Haha...I've been contemplating starting my blog properly on here. I have a thread but I never used it and I'm happy for it to die. The profile pic shows up next to your posts so I thought I'd have it as mah mug. Yeah, let me know...I don't know who you are thinking of at all.

If we ever do pass in the street I'll have to be extra careful not to be caught checking you out when the double-take happens! :tongue1:

Thank you darlin ^^ happy holidays Ada

I was with a couple of people the other night, one of which is a girlfriend of one of my old schoolfriends. I had only met her last night because I'm not close to those people really but we were walking to get more beer and she had "Nice hat...and arse" shouted at her twice in the space of, like, 10 minutes. I think by two separate people as well! I asked her if it happens a lot and she said "All the time" and that it's often physical, too. The other guy who is cool was making jokes while she was saying other things that happened. I think it made him uncomfortable and another girl back at the house had an even worse story. I had just lit a joint then, too, and it left me feeling a little cold. But yeah, I don't want to bring down your Christmas spirit but I had just not really given much thought to it before. I don't know what to say either. To you and I didn't really know what to say to them.

I thought you did but just to make sure.:lol: I have never had quite that exact thought before I was laughing whilst I typed a bit, too. Just at the language more than anything though.

Thanks for the song. I'll be off soon. I think I am more likely to have Quality Streets than quality time! :lol:

You seem innocent, but I don't know you too well, is what I meant. I guess an example is that blog post about the murder videos where it got you really down. It seems sweet to me that you care so much.

Actually, I drew it on with a sharpie

What languages do you speak?

Go for it, and see how you like it.

Yes, there is a sign for every letter in the alphabet. With words, you can use use the sign for the word, for if you don't know the sign for the word, you can finger spell it, but that can definitely get tedious.

What I like the most about ASL is the fact that most of the words are based off of a letter. For example, the word "classroom" is two "Cs" making a semi circle in front of you, and the word "Yes" is a 'Y" with the hands in a nodding motion.

It is a beautiful language. What I love the most about it is when one "sings" with it. There is a deaf autistic child in my church, and I love signing the songs for him as we all sing them, and seeing his eyes light up as he gets to experience the moving words too. I wonder if they have International Sign Language....

I greatly enjoy your seeming innocence.

Do they have christmas where you live? Happy holidays

English, Asante, Akuapem, Spanish, and American Sign Language

Oh please. My idea of a "smooth" birthing process is a c-section, LOL. There is nothing "natural" about natural childbirth imo.

And you saw it on Discovery? You already know more than I do, lmao

Well you know a smooth birthing process always helps LOL

Is that you in the profile pic? You have a very nicely shaped head, lol. Not many people could rock that and get away with it. Beautiful

I'll get back to your PM soon (and the other ones) :)

Nice profile pic ;)

So sit around in your underpants
and talk till you can't say more
You'll be the one who cries
feeling what you knew was in store

You got the 'All talk, no trousers' idiom, right? I took it that you did.

Hmmm...I don't get bothered. But I have been realising lately that girls and women get harangued just walking around so much more than I ever realised. I have seen it on a few occasions but it didn't occur to me that it must happen when I'm not there as well. I don't know...this was when I was 17 and the girls I was with were 16/17 so I can't imagine it has gotten less common as they got older.

No, but I see what you mean. I was talking about something similar with Lemola and it was the point that I don't take people at face value unless it is super-obvious they have no other values. I do find it tricky to tell always if someone is being disingenuous because, I hate to say, I am a lot in 'real life' because I don't want to discuss things unless I believe the other person actually cares and isn't just talking to me to kill time.

Half-arsed 'discussions' are everywhere when you're around students all the time so I do just spectate a lot of the time. I don't like debating and even if I convinced one person, it doesn't change anything. Sitting around talking when I should be out shopping for trousers! :lol:

But there is a difference between not-liking and disliking. I think when you start disliking total strangers it can be a slippery slope.

ICH BIN EIN ÃœBERMENSCH! :lol:

Hmmm...yeah. The disassociation sounds right. My levels of empathy went way up when I experienced what I have seen online, but nowhere else, defined by the word 'sonder'. I'm not particularly keen on that word but what it describes I have felt intensely and, though it seemed so obvious, it was something of a revelation. Now it is just a given but I have to remind myself when I begin to feel undue negativity; especially toward strangers.

Do you really believe you can't control how you feel about things?

Could the douchebag not be someone good living inauthentically or is there no sympathy there?

P.

Thanks - I know I sure do, and I also have a fondness for this kind of portraiture, which is to say, those photos where a woman’s face composes most of the frame and she is looking down to the right or left with a facial expression which suggests a point on the spectrum between contemplative thought and melancholy. Cheers!

Lol I wish I could send a nice pic back to you but I can't on my iPad .
Thanks!

Ahhh...Big Mac. Nonetheless, post it!
