Since she's back, let us pummel her with trivial inquires before she decides to run away again.
Okay, here's my question:
Oi, Wicked Witch. If you had to choose out of these three witches, which one has the better fashion sense?

how many proper shaggings have you had since you visited us last?
-
And how many improper ones?
-
And how many improper ones?
Probably FAR too many.
:P
-
pea, you do realize that she didn't want one of these threads.
because of the type of question that i asked. which, i s why i asked it. >:D

No, I did not realise. And yes, I do not care.
When am I going to try out your carrot cake again?

the first one. i have a similar outfit, and often do my hair like that, although i use purple spiders rather than some tacky seashell or other.
-
how many proper shaggings have you had since you visited us last?
loads. i assuming you're not restricting yourself to "sex with other entities"? or have you gone pedestrian and dull?
-
And how many improper ones?
more than the above. if sex is proper, it's not sex.
-

is this related to the above posts? if so, you can get yer own carrot cake to shag. mine are too good to waste. and i'm not going to put cream cheese topping on any of them, ever again, now... carrot bu-cake yuck. :puke:

I work at some cafe every Tuesday now, which supplies carrot cake with a Cadbury's flakey on top, so I won't have any problems there with the carrot cake shagging. :angel:
EDIT: Now, now, now, now.
-

more than the above. if sex is proper, it's not sex.
Totally agree- if it doesn't leave you feeling at least mildly disgusted with yourself you're not doing it right. :laugh:
-

fab! where is it? i might have to pay a visit and watch. (i was going to say "come and watch", but you'd probably mess your pants :P ).

yeah, and then there's the REALLY hot stuff, where you feel completely disgusted with yourself, and have to boil yourself in bleach. that's the best, obviously. if i don't think i should be locked up, i've had disappointing sex. ;)
-
But of course- you know you've had really good sex when you're laying in the afterglow wondering if you might just be a little fucked up in the head.

Welsman Social Services Office in Prince's Street in the St. Pauls area. Getting there has encouraged me to take public buses now. Yays.

Thanks Vivi.
And there's also the possibility of working at the Brentry hospice, but I need to sort out the transportation to get there first. My father was going to take me there on a car trip, but that's postponed because my nan's in hospital. :/
-
Welcome back Vivi not drunk today.
-
you or me, kevv? if you, then well done you. if me, then that means i'm typing bollocks whilst completely sober. scary... :bigcry:
-
Yeah I meant Me. ;D
-
You'd never start an ask away thread before, are you going to answer any question (within reason) you get asked or answer selectively as the mood takes you?
-

yes.
-
:laugh: :plus:
-
Did you miss us when you were away?
-
of course. but then i've never been able to aim straight.
-
So you'll hit us now? :o
-
only if you're interesting enough... ;)
actually, probably not - i either like the people here, or they don't count enough to warrant any attention at all, unless i'm really bored, or need someone to sharpen my claws on. :angel:
-
Plenty of target practice here. ;)
-
indeed. i've been warming up a little, but mainly knitting - nothing much to stretch me, so far, eh? ;)
-
The challenges are indeed manageable. The trick for us poor disabled folks is to multitask--knitting AND flaming, for instance, does present some obstacles for me since I can't knit.
-
oh, was i supposed to be flaming? sorry - the stimulus only warranted a "lukewarming", possibly a "tepiding", as far as i can see.
-
It's a lucky thing I'm here to explain it all to you.
-
And how many improper ones?
more than the above. if sex is proper, it's not sex.
Totally agree- if it doesn't leave you feeling at least mildly disgusted with yourself you're not doing it right. :laugh:
Wow, I can't imagine feeling disgusted with myself if
I had fun.
Morning star, dost thou agree with PI on this?
-

Apparently so. Thought shame wouldn't be in your MO
-
So a jokey comment I made has you believing that I feel shame about the sexual acts I perform? ::)
-
i think calandale is drunk.
-
i think calandale is drunk.
That explains a lot. ::)
-
So a jokey comment I made has you believing that I feel shame about the sexual acts I perform? ::)
I thought that you were both serious.
i think calandale is drunk.
You think wrongly.
-
So, what thing are you most ashamed of in your life?
What is the worst crime that you've committed,
in terms of possible sentence?
-
So, what thing are you most ashamed of in your life?
hmmm... difficult, as i'm not really ashamed of anything i've done. with maybe one exception, and i'm actually more angry about it rather than ashamed, so it doesn't even count. i have a big thing about personal responsibility, you see.
What is the worst crime that you've committed,
in terms of possible sentence?
fraud, i suspect. or, possibly, dealing (but even that was so pathetic, i doubt anyone in the legal/criminal justice system would be interested). then there's eco-terrorism and trespass, and all those sorts of minor things anyone with any political nous does.
nope - sorry to disappoint you, but i'm no good at shame or massive criminality. i must be either a clean-living young chap, or a raving sociopath. :eyebrows:
-

You can be both.
BTW - fraud can carry a moderate sentence,
depending on how it was handled.
-
which side is your g-spot on?
actually, i think it's pretty much in the middle. of my forehead.
Do you find that having your "third eye" stroked
is pleasant or disturbing?
-
depends who's stroking it. generally, pleasant, i'd say. but then, i'm an extremely tactile and sensual (in the true sense of the word) person. one caveat: if someone else is involved, then it has to be someone i really want to touch me, or someone i trust. which limits it to about one person, at the moment.
-
have you seen the pictures of my boy, born 21, dec, 2006?
-
nope.
honestly, McQ - your questions are being so very ordinary and mundane. when they did the chop, did they get the right end? i mean, i know you think with your knob, but most surgeons know the difference between vascectomy and labotomy, don't they? :-\
;)
-
nope.
honestly, McQ - your questions are being so very ordinary and mundane. when they did the chop, did they get the right end? i mean, i know you thin with your knob, but most surgeons know the difference between vascectomy and labotomy, don't they? :-\

:LMAO:
-
nope.
Here is a link to the newest ones:

:)
-
i'm a bit off babies, at the mo, but, if he looks anything like McQ's brood, or his wife (or, i hate to admit, McQ), then he's bound to be beautiful.
-
He's adorable. It's a sad thing that they all grow up to be teenagers.
-
At least teenagers change their own diapers.
-
Most of them. ::)
-
what's wrong with a cork?
-
nope.

;)
i had to plus you for several reasons.
mostly for the fact that you have challenged me. let me see what i can come up with.
-
you don't have to bother with anything ghastly. i wouldn't answer it anyway, if it went across any of my boundaries, so as to speak. i am a private person. although i suppose i could reserve the right to reply in a pm... ;)
tell you what - i challenge you to come up with a thought-provoking question, which challenges you as well as me, and isn't about sex.
how's that sound? :angel:
-
Impossible, given who you're dealing with.
-
Like You.
-
I like you too.
-
Impossible, given who you're dealing with.
i dunno - i reckon McQ must have hidden depths. somewhere...
-
He CLAIMS to. I'm not sure that
I believe it. Though, his baseball
card collection may be what he
was referring to.
-
spare me... ::)
-
Sorry, but it seemed rather deep
to me.
-
i meant the baseball cards. :laugh:
-
me too. :agreed:
-
lol
-
So, how long before you'll get
as bored with me as everyone
else does?
-
dunno. how long are you prepared to keep me entertained? ;)
-
As long as high quality spam
remains fun. Assuming I can
keep my connection.
-
Told you already. That's not spam.
-
Told you already. That's not spam.
Let me have my delusions.
-
marvellous. to most of the above (i'm not getting caught by something i've forgotten about on page 2, or something...).
-
So, given the thread's title, are you going to describe it?
-
brown, reasonably well-defined, two tattoos - celtic knotwork on right shoulder, and a welsh dragon at the base of my spine, to the left. i rather like my scapulae, too.
-
How many tattoos do you have, in total?
-
three, with at least two more planned, at some point.
-
Care to elaborate on the other existing,
and/or the two which don't?
-
buterfly on left hip, although it's more of a harrier jump jet than some twee laura ashley travesty.
i want a bouquet of roses down the right hand side of my back, and a caerdroia labyrinth somewhere, possibly my ankle. and then there's the wings (but sharon osborne's done that, so i won't cos it's common), and the faery, and the cobweb...
dear me. anyone who's got a tat knows what it's like - they're addictive, and you have to plan your whole body if you even think about having one... :'(
-
Do you know of Carmina Burana? Do you like Carmina Burana?
-
i love it. of course, Carmina Burana is only the first (and best known) of the whole triad - the "Trionfi" - which isn't generally known, the second and third parts being Catulli Carmina and Trionfo di Afrodite. it's full of rudeness and sex... oh, and fantabulous music, ahem.
most people know it as the Old Spice advert, from the 70s, cos they used O Fortuna, the first part of Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi. sigh...
dear me, i've gone into lecturer mode. :-[
-
do you think that you look like a very young stevie nicks?
-
do you think that you look like a very young stevie nicks?
definitely not. more like a cross between a young Elizabeth Taylor, and a thinner Natacha Atlas. (i'm sure i've posted these - or similar - before, cos Pea agreed):
(http://www.diamondvues.com/EQ_Taylor2.jpg)(http://worldmusiccentral.org/staticpages/images/Natacha%20Atlas.jpg)
-
Never heard of Natacha Altas (oh gawd, how I have lived not!), but Liz Taylor defo (and who hasn't?).
-
a young liz; the most gorgeous woman who ever was.
-
careful, McQ. i do actually look quite like her.
-
I find the other woman more attractive.
Maybe just because I remember all the
makeup liz used to wear.
-
Liz was hot in her heyday.
-
you've seen photos of me, odeon - do you agree with me and the pea that i look like those two? (to whatever degree).
-
careful, McQ. i do actually look quite like her.
yea right.
if you did then i would be on a plane so fast just to kiss your feet.
-
you've seen photos of me, odeon - do you agree with me and the pea that i look like those two? (to whatever degree).
Yes, I'd say you are a mix of these two and more, something that's uniquely you.
Definitely hot, though. Get the tickets, McJ.
-
careful, McQ. i do actually look quite like her.
yea right.
if you did then i would be on a plane so fast just to kiss your feet.
I want to see the pictures then. ;D
-
What celebs does http://www.myheritage.com/ think you look like, and by what percents?
-

stupid thing won't let me register. i've lost the will to live, after trying a few times... ::)
soz, PMS Elle. try me with another idea.
-
Did I wore you out? Well, did I? Did I now?
Now drop and give me 20!
*dons the Sergeant Slaughter persona*

"wore"? sort your tenses out, dear.
20? dollars, i presume.
and as for sgt. slaughter who the fuck's he? no, on second thoughts, i couldn't really give a shit.
and thanks for the thought, pea... ::)

Aw, don't be like that. I was only kidding. :(
-
stop feeling sorry for yerself. you'll only make your mascara run.
-

more than the above. if sex is proper, it's not sex.
Totally agree- if it doesn't leave you feeling at least mildly disgusted with yourself you're not doing it right. :laugh:
Thanks for giving me my Friday afternoon laugh! I'm catching up now on all those unread threads this week.
:plus:
-
my pleasure. :-*
-
my pleasure. :-*
Oh I plussed PI, but now I'll plus you 'cos you used the word pleasure in a sentence...actually it was 50% of the sentence...excellent!
:plus:
-
if you enjoyed that, you'll love this:
i am a sybraritic, lotus-eating hedonist.
now, just go and explode somewhere quietly, and take a damp flannel with you. :-*
-

I could really spin you out about what you just said!
Now, another question. How old are you... or thereabouts?
-
i have to laugh - people have been nagging me for years to have one of these threads, and now there is one, v few people are actually asking questions. (i know PI, dunc, the Pea and odeon don't need to, cos i know them offline, as it were).
funny old life, ain't it?
;)
-
woo! how's that for serendipity? :laugh:
45. or thereabouts. well, that's my chronological age. intellectually, about 973. emotionally about 13. and physically, about mid-late 30s (ish, depending on the light, lol).

Cool, so I am the younger sister then.
I thought you were 20 for some reason....really not up to date on these threads!
-
i'm a bit off babies, at the mo,
Why?
-
indigestion.
-
indigestion.
Good lords. I think I need you here.
-
sigh... oh, well done. not that i haven't been trying to tell you that for the last however long... ::)
:P
-
I had a bit of blood tonight.
Not my own. Helps.
-
you could have quite a bit more, if you sort my menstrual cycle out.
-
Gladly. Suspect it'll be a heavy flow.
-
do you want it bottled or frozen?
:P
-
Fresh. Let me sleep, and I'll tap it.
-
okey dokey.
-
lucifer, do you like to be dominated sexually?
-
yep. only i don't believe anything to do with sex and sexuality is carved in stone. sometimes i like to be dominant. but mostly, i like a man to be a man (without being a chauvanistic neanderthal). i'm just a little kitten. rrrrrrrowwwwwwwwwwwwwwl...
;D
-
would you get all prudish if the man called you a filthy little trollop?
-
depends. if it's someone i love and trust, and am in a relationship with, then i'd assume we'd sorted out our boundaries. women are often more stimulated aurally than visually (i can get you the references, if you're really interested), and sometimes, that sort of "dirty talk" is a real turn on.
but choose with care - i had a... well, shaggee (cos he was too much of a twat to be a boyfriend) who chose badly (sounded like a really awful porn film), and i had to resort to playing very loud music during sex, so i couldn't hear the stupid git's pathetic (and "huh?"-inducing) witterings.
working your way up to something really lewd, eh, McJ? :-*
-
working your way up to something really lewd, eh, McJ?
nah, i am fresh out of ideas.
would you like to volunteer something lewd?
-
always...
-
How do you feel about stories
during sex?
-
what kind of stories...?
my curiosity is aroused (if nothing else).
-

how about this story:
"yeah, once, with my ex girlfriend, we did it like this...."
-
what kind of stories...?

Just describing fantasies.
Nothing impressive.

erm... no. mainly.
Just describing fantasies.
Nothing impressive.
sounds good to me. however, be aware of boundaries, otherwise you could, er, "spoil the moment". nothing worse than "uuuuuuurgh!" when you're in the throes.

Boundaries? Can't imagine any.
-
then you never fucked my ex-shagee - mine obviously include "saying purportedly erotic things which make me go 'you what?' and go off the boil". or, "saying purportedly erotic things which makes me piss myself laughing, and go off the boil". or, "saying purportedly, etc., which sound like the soundtrack of a particularly dreadful porn movie". get the picture? oh, i can live without references to non-consensual (i.e., kids, animals, rape) sex. and my poo is either in my bowels, or in the loo, thank you very much - i don't need to spread the joy.
-
Animals can consent. :laugh:
-
What can we do to persuade you to stick around this time?? :eyelash:
-
oooh, that's a tricky one... :laugh:
well, in no particular order of importance:
1. get me a boyfriend (not one who's a complete waste of DNA, this time, i think).
2. give me loads of money.
3. keep me entertained (thus providing displacement activity for my crappy life - spot the emo) and/or stimulated (no, not like that, McP).
4. get me a boyfriend.
erm, that's about it, i reckon. so, probably the third one, eh? ;)
-
For 4, one who is a complete waste of DNA is acceptable?
-
lol.
no, that was me not completing the thingy properly. well spotted. although it may well have been me lowering my standards, subconsciously, i suppose. after all, one has to compromise at my age... :(
-
Do you often fail to finish correctly?
Might explain 1 and 4, if this is the case.
-
lol.
no, that was me not completing the thingy properly. well spotted. although it may well have been me lowering my standards, subconsciously, i suppose. after all, one has to compromise at my age... :(
Or perhaps number 4 was just someone to use for sex :eyebrows:
-

if i do, dear, it's not down to me if you get my drift.

It is, if they don't move anymore.
-
true. that'll probably be why i like a man who moves like a bastard. :eyebrows:
(and before you say anything, no, i don't mean like someone who hasn't got a lawfully wedded father. it's just a phrase or saying).
-
We dead are always discrimenated against.
-
you sound like Reg Shoe.
:laugh:
-
I've read from somewhere that you nearly had an opportunity to host your own chat show but it didn't go through.
Or is this source of mine total bollocks?
-
no, it's true. although i dunno who told you/where i posted it.
-
no, it's true. although i dunno who told you/where i posted it.
I can't remember either.
Was it going to have an Oprah theme to it, by any chance? Oprah Winfrey is SOO not you.
-
it was supposed to, but i refused, unless they armed the people coming on the show, in which case, they'd all shoot each other, and make the world a more pleasant place.
-
I would watch Oprah if the audience had guns. ;D
-

I thought you hated guns, Odeon.
Wait a minute...
Litigious, what have you done with Odeon and why are you using his account?
:laugh:
-
lol. i was reluctant to do it at all, but they promised to dress me in Gaultier. i am such a fashion victim... ;)
-

I'll make an exception if they all point their guns at Oprah, live.
-
Oprah rules. :P
-
Not for long if they make that show. ;D
-
:-*
-
"They're shooting Ophrah" could get a whole new meaning.
-
lol. i was reluctant to do it at all, but they promised to dress me in Gaultier. i am such a fashion victim... ;)
Fuck that, for I want to wear spiked ebony armour daily. Modern attire sucks.
-
Are you still tolerant with open relationships, and were you bothered/concerned at the fact that I might consider a monogamous fuck-buddy relationship, if it happens?
-
i don't like using the word "tolerant", as it suggests puting up with something, to me. i'd rather say i have no problem with open relationships at all, but for other people - i know they wouldn't work for me. and from experience, rather than making any moral (or pre-) judgement.
i'm not bothered at all, pea. in fact, i didn't even know you were talking about me. :laugh: or have i got that sompletely wrong and you weren't talking about me? oh gawd - spot the aspie. :asthing:
anyway, i'm not even sure i can do the "fuck-buddy" thing. i have done, but the game don't seem worth the candle, anymore. oh, it's complicated.
so, are we now all completely confused, or what? :-\
-
hey. Oprah does rule. and her gorgeous dr.Oz.

so, are we now all completely confused, or what? :-\
I just thought it bothered you that I would consider this type of relationship due to the fact that it's considered "shallow" to those who haven't even bothered to try it. Personally, I think it's ideal if you're not looking for anything long-term.

waaaaaaaaaaah!
gods, he's so awful! all i could think of at first was, "put some proper clothing on, if you're on a motorbike, you fools!". i've seen what happens when you come off a bike without proper leathers. skin grafts are not pleasant.
anyway, the blokes all look like complete numpties, dancing around in their knickers. do i really need this first thing in the morning?
:laugh:

I lost my cat-o-FIVE-tails.
I do hope that you've embedded glass in your scourge.
no - why on earth would i want to?
I assumed you wanted it to be effective.
it is. some of us don't need gadgets and superficial enhancements.
So, how do you remove sufficient skin through
self-flaggelation without some glass?

i don't. i don't need to. there are far more subtle ways of self flagellation. besides, i haven't got my pain/pleasure circuitries cross wired, so i don't particularly care for all that showing off sort of behaviour. i can get both pleasure and attention without resorting to making a hamburger of myself.

no need to apologise, though - it's always A Good Thing to remind oneself of the dreadfulness of Gunther, just in case one forgets and sleeps with him.

question:

if you think i'm going to say "hot and black, just like my men", you've got another think coming. :laugh:
i like it strong, but with loads of milk. no sugar. sometimes, a vanilla pod to stir, or i make real coffee with cardamom in it. cinnamon, sometimes. not too hot - i can't do very hot or very cold food or drinks. one of my many little aspie food things...
how about you? and are we having a proper ask me thread scenario going on here now? ;)
-
yes lucifer, i am trying to turn over a new leaf.
i like mine as espresso shots (5) with some peppermint syrup and milk.
i am just like you in that i don't (or cannot) take my drinks really hot.

i have various mugs and cups to drink from, depending on what colour i want, and my mood. also, i try and restrict drinking too much coffee, so drink decaff whenever i cn bear the taste, and have smaller mugs for during the day.
always have to have earl grey first thing, then coffee until i've eaten, and then tea for the rest of the day. unless i'm forced into drinking wine, of course. ;) or mead - bought some utterlydelicious mead today. sadly, i went shopping early, and was desperate to try some. but it's a slippery slope, drinking mead before 9 in the morning... hic!

oh, and the only reason i don't have special cups/mugs is that i live on my own. visitors have to drink from mugs i keep 'specially, though - if anyone tries to snaffle one of mine, i make them pour it into the proper one. same goes for My Seat. not that i'm territorial, or anything... ;)

OMFG! i LOATHE those things! i can't eat with them. and i have to have very long tines on my forks, cos those little ones make my mouth go funny. i tend to eat stuff with a spoon mostly, though, and use a bowl, even stuff which should be on a plate - i often cut things up first, and then use a spoon.
fuck me, do i sound like a spaz or what? :rofl:

Do you think spelling mistakes in usernames are acceptable?
-
never. spelling mistakes make my teeth go on edge, as does incorrect grammar, syntax and punctuation. typos are okay, cos they happen to everyone.
not that i'm Pedant of the Western World, or anything (she lied - my undergrads cringe in fear, cos i'm known as the Rottweiler of Punctuation :laugh: ).
-
So, will you like me better once I can use a spell checker again?
-
no, but i'd like you better if you started behaving like a grown up - just occasionally will do, to start. :P
-
Lucifer, I read on another thread that you did stand-up comedy. Can you tell me anything about it?
-
weeeeeell, it started as a one off. i'd been an actor and musician on and off for years - mainly amateur, loads of alternative theatre stuff and recordings for people i knew. my friend at the time - who was the manager of a theatre - asked me to do a musical spot for an AIDS Benefit evening (i'm predominantly a musician). as usual, i couldn't think of what to sing, so i came up with the idea of doing a spoof, and another friend would play the piano. basically, i called myself Lucrezia Borgia, dressed up like shirley bassey (over the top, ghastly sparkly dress), did several torch songs (incredibly badly, deliberately), and put some really ridiculous stuff in between the songs - making the audience do what i told them, including having a bag of old (and revolting) underwear i'd salvaged from various friends, giving them out to the audience, and making them throw the nasties at me at the end of the spot (there were other thingshtey had to do to - that was just the culmination of the ridiculousness. :laugh: ).
anyway, the day after the cabaret, steve (the manager) phoned me, and said he'd had several telephone enquiries as to how i could be booked. so i ended up doing that for a while, on the comedy fringe circuit in London - compared a series of comedy shows, did one offs here and there. i worked with Woody Bop Muddy once - he's insane! funny as fuck.
so i did that for a while, and was still getting bookings (obviously, the act was developing, by that point), and even got the chance to do the Hackney Empire (which is a pretty famous theatre/venue in those circles). but i got bored (which always happens) and wanted to earn more (which always happens, lol), and wandered off to do something else instead.
having said all of which, i do miss it, but then i'm like a bloody stand up every time i give a lecture or a seminar at uni - i'm notorious for it. ;)
does that explain things?
-
Yes, thank you! That was really interesting.:)
Lectures and seminars are heaps better if the person giving it has a sense of humour.

oooh, yes! want to be one of the crowd, or a personal tutorial? :eyebrows:

i tend to eat stuff with a spoon mostly, though, and use a bowl, even stuff which should be on a plate - i often cut things up first, and then use a spoon.
fuck me, do i sound like a spaz or what? :rofl:
i use a bowl too! i mash everything together in the bowl and then eat it with a fork or a spoon. it's easier that way. or sometimes i put stuff in a big mug, i just cram anything in there, it's very handy. i think it's all about convenience. it's spazzy if that means genius. :P
-
nah, i'm definitely a genius, so that makes you one too, if the definition is spazzy eating out of bowls. :laugh:
-
oooh, yes! want to be one of the crowd, or a personal tutorial? :eyebrows:
Both, please. :)

You guys sound like me, when I eat alone. I'm trying to give the children some etiquette, so we do sit-downs when we eat as a family, but if it's just me, bowl food with a spoon is the way to go.

I eat everything one at a time. Side-dish to side-dish to main-course. The order is on a hierarchical scale of preference.

How do you feel about El Gordo being Prime Minister? He looks like summat that came out of the Munster family.
-
if he's less of a spin freak than blair (and he is, as far as i;ve heard), can't be all bad. i couldn't give a flying fuck what he looks like. i have my suspicions we may get a less slithery mob in now, but i'm not getting my hopes up.
besides, he's a finance man. let's hope he organises it so that it ain't the have nots who lose out yet again.

i dunno nuttin about El Gordo, he was on the cover of teh times today but i was like who is this guy? :P i know he booted Blair out of his apartment but like where did he appear from all of a sudden?

he's been about for yonks. the common assumption is that he and blair were a team, and that gordy's been waiting for blair to fuck off so he can have a go at being PM.

i bought it for the workout. he's not "hawt" at all, in my opinion. bit too muscley. and he's irritating as fuck - do you not think so?
anyway, are you getting good use out of it yourself. in any form of exercise (seeing as how you think he's hawt)? ;)

Well, he is an athlete. And I thought most all women appreciate the stamina and all that bollocks (excuse the pun there). Guess not.
Yeah, I had a go at it this week. The first time was so funny as fuck, I felt like I was Dunc trying to do the splits: "Gawd, fuck me britches. Mel!! Get us a guiness and a pork pie on your way downstairs love."
The second time wasn't too bad; I did the first 15 min workout after 30 mins of cardio on Saturday with no major issues at all. No funnahs there I'm afraid.
And yes, I find him so irresistible. :eyelash:

Do you think your love of boots and/or shoes makes men think you are a dom mandating boot worship? You did state that people think you are a dom somewhere I think.

good question. i houldn't have thought so, though - unless i'm going out (hahaha! chance would be a fine thing), i tend to schlepp around in doc's and some chunky but not very interesting boots in the winter, or chunky sandals, in the summer. i save my gorgeous boots and shoes for special occasions (i.e., i hardly ever wear them :( ).

the truth ??!!
have you been up to something when i wasn't looking, hmm? she said, suspiciously.

I would never! :o

you won't go to heaven if you tell fibs, you know.
-
it's supposed to be overrated, anyway.
-
the questions miss things. like i have problems socially but the test doesn't want to know why. i'm very emotionally intelligent but the test lumps me in with people who might be emotionally unintelligent. i don't want it to be assumed all aspies are bad at reading people. i'm very good at that. i'm not good at pretending to be all cheery and social when i'm not feeling like it. that's not bad, that's honesty. these are good things about me and the test sees them as bad.
there should be positive aspie tests that focus on the strengths, or at least pay attention equally to strengths and weaknesses.
-
I got a 10 pence piece instaed of a quater for change at McDonalds today.
How much is 10 pence worth??

about 10 pence. :P
probably about 20 cents at todays's rate. roughly.

You're right. £10 roughly equates to $20, so 10 pence is the equivalent to 20 cents.

Problem is that it would take a bunch of aspies to interpret many of the traits we all feel or witness in each other as positives. We would have to make up the test ourselves, but seriously, could you be arsed?
-
no. i could never be assed.

...but seriously, could you be arsed?

Funny enough, I was thinking of requesting Vivi's services to relieve me off my doubts and guilt (I'm serious about this) yesterday, but I don't know if witches can do that.
Perhaps I should elaborate on this more.

Lucifer what would you do if:
I ended up at the same uni as you?
If you had to teach me?
-
i'd teach you, probably better than a lot of others, given my years of experience teaching aspies. and expect you to keep anything i say/do here to yourself, as i would, naturally. (i'm a very private person, believe it or not, and that's why i haven't posted which uni i work/study in).
what are you studying?

oh, but you'd love my lectures and seminars - they're always really popular, cos i'm so outrageous (they think so, anyway).

As a private person myself, obviously I would respect yours. As for aspies teaching aspies, it seems to work better for me, but that could be down to aspies knowing their subject better than the average NT teacher. As for subject, I have an offer for natural sciences at my second choice uni (which is my firm - my 1st choice didnt give me an offer), and for my insurence maths and computer science. Whether or not i will stick to the comp sci is another matter, if i get in for the natural sciences i can do more than two subjects, so i could do arts modules on top.
-
they don't do sciences and maths hugely where i am, so i'm assuming you'll be elsewhaere. shame - could've been interesting.

hadron, would you please stop talking to me as though i'm your baby cousin, or something. i'm more than twice your age, and at least that as far as experience is concern ed. i doubt you're doing it deliberately, but being patronised is guaranteed to send me from nought to homicidal in nanoseconds.

Sorry you see my as patronising Lucifer. As for the experience arguement, im young as you have pointed out, therefore I am not a fan of arguement from authority.
-
well taken. that sort of thing impresses me.
and it's not authority, it's experience and self awareness and knowledge - there's a huge difference, believe me.

Hmm, but what you are then implying is that because your older than me that your arguements should count for more. You may have more experience than me, but then our experiences will not always overlap, you will have experiences that i havent had and vice versa. As for self awareness, I am not a fan myself of overdoing that one, its just too depressing. And knowledge, I have lots of that, just again in different areas to you.
-
not at all - you were trying to tell me about oxford, and what i should and shouldn't do. i know myself, and therefore my arguments do count for more, much more.
and if you don't get through the nastier bits of self awareness, you may as well not bother. once you get to and through them, you're much stronger.

As for the oxford arguement, answer this question, have you ever been there and been interviewed. Ive seen enough to know they are so anti-aspie that aspies may as well not bother applying.
Self-awareness, I do know myself pretty well i like to think, but there are limits in terms of how far you can go while retaining some sanity.

sorry to hear that, truly. let's just be thankful that things are beginning to change, very slowly, but they are, and i'm making sure of it, wherever i have any say or influence whatsoever.

i am summoning up gravitational pull, to suck you all into my lair, mwahahahahahaha!
either that or (and more likely), the board has been somewhat dull of late, and the only action's here.

i keep thinking McJ is posting but it's Peegai.

Another question. Why did you choose Lucifer as a screenname? Do you feel it reflects your persona?
-
i have a thing about angels. and Lucifer has had an extremely bad press.

You mean you have a thing against angels? I wouldnt describe Lucifer as angelic myself (not you, the biblical thing).

Lucifer and Satan were two separate entities before the Christian Roman nutjobs decided to mess around with the Bible's contents.
Metatron is, by far, my favourite angel.

Did you find that The Matrix was an enjoyable film to you, or was it too philosophical for your tastes?

You mean you have a thing against angels? I wouldnt describe Lucifer as angelic myself (not you, the biblical thing).
no, i said i have a thing ABOUT them.
lucifer IS an angel, so of course he's angelic. ::) and the tradition is far more widespread than just the bible.
(i've written a book on this - don't get me started).
-
Did you find that The Matrix was an enjoyable film to you, or was it too philosophical for your tastes?
i loved it, and got sompletely obsessed by it. "too philosophical" would be difficult for me, although the rubbish cod philosophy in the last film made me puke - so contrived, and utterly obvious, thereby meaningless, to the point of being trite.

Hmm, well if you have written a book on it i cant really argue with you. My knowlegde of religion extends to one and a half measily RE GCSEs.
Next question:
Lucifer do you hate me?
-
good gods, no. i wouldn't expend the energy. :P
-
good gods, no. i wouldn't expend the energy. :P
Ok then. Who do you think is worth hating?
-
no-one. hate is as much of an attractive force as love.
"loathe", or "detest" would be meaningful. very, very few people are that deserving of my attention, let alone active loathing. i reserve my energies for useful things.

neither. you seem to have an overinflated sense of your own importance, as far as i'm concerned. sorry, but there really are very few people who i'm bothered about, so don't take it personally.

Lucifer has had an extremely bad press.
i heard that recently.

Lucifer teh angel. :P you are the more popular one. :laugh:
did you like eXistenZ better than the Matrix? they're similar and very different.

So really you are saying that i am arrogant then, you are probably right. What do people have to do for you to become bothered about them?

never seen it. is it good? do they wear sexy clothes?
-
So really you are saying that i am arrogant then, you are probably right. What do people have to do for you to become bothered about them?
they have to interest me. then i might actually start caring about them.
or i have to respect them, for some reason. that's even rarer.

I have a feeling that you dont want to feel respect for people do you? Otherwise you would interrogate people until you could find out there intresting and respectful side.

not buzzing me like an irritating fly, with hundreds of questions about my personal life, for a start.
a bit of advice, vis á vis social skills: best not to overwhelm most people with this line of questioning. many will run a mile, because it's very intrusive. i've been more patient than a lot of people would be. take your time.

Why are you so interested in Vivi, anyway? She has her own personal circle of people she cares about, and this applies to every individual out there. Vivi is Vivi, that's all there is to it. :grrr:
Get over it. You hardly know her.

Fine i shall take my time, i wasnt expecting you to actually honestly answer me to tell you the truth. Time for something less personal...
What is your favourite book and why?
-
no idea. i read like other people breathe, and so i couldn't possibly narrow it down.
if i HAD to choose one which was the only one available to me, then i'd go for the complete oxford english dictionary, though, all twenty-odd volumes of it (or whatever it is). should take me a few years to learn all the new words, and use them.

i hate to have to tell you this, alex, but there you were, in my figments last night...
...and you were crap.
sorry. better luck next time.
:P
:laugh:
I was crap, yet there is a next time? The dreamworld version of me needs to redeem himself then. If it was any consolation, my dreams last night were pretty shitty as well.
-
wanna be pals lucifer? :)
nope.
and you might want to think twice before acting like a little shit towards my friends, too.

not brilliant, i agree. the word has its roots in greek mythology, and does mean those things, but in common parlance, it's more likely to mean "under the umbrella of" or"as a subdivion of".
so you're both right. isn't that nice?

Oh it is nice to be right. But you never did say why creative writing doesnt come under english, and if not what it does come under? (its a serious question, i am looking at uni modules and if i hate politics creative writing does sound like fun)
-
it grew out of english, yes, but is a subject in its own right, these days.
i'd never have got into it otherwise - i'm a scientist, not a literature person.

i really dont detect any whining in my typing but whatever, i thought we could just burry our differences and be pals, but obviously we cant. so thats cool. im just saying if you can dish it out you better be able to take it, people make fun of me on this board all the time and you dont see me acting like a butthurt faggot. if you make fun of me, chances are im going to return the favor

google's american, and so doesn't know shit from sugar when it comes to spelling english.
i read like a maniac, as i said, and writing is sort of an extension of that. i also have always had a blinding imagination, and like telling stories, especially the crafting of the work - plot, characterisation, imagery - all the things i teach, basically. i love words.
recently, i haven't written that much, concentrating on polishing up my PhD thesis and novel. i've got one finished novel (the PhD one) which is polished, and two others, in various states of editing, but haven't really looked at those for ages. loads of short stories and poetry, too.

Lucifer, I have a question: Do you attract little boys like this in real life as well?
good question - i had to think about it.
the answer's "no", mostly. i do have a "weird attractor", which means i'm a magnet for anything weird in the vicinity. but i also have what's known as the "Lucifer Exclusion Zone" (although with my name instead of lucifer, obviously), which means that an awful lot of fucktards get headed off at the pass, as it were. people describe it as an energetic "forcefield", which can range from nothing (if i'm with someone i like/trust/want to shag madly), to about nine feet. :laugh:
and, of course, i'm more obviously older in real life.
of course, i'm assuming you weren't referring to yourself as a little boy? cos if you were, then the answer is, "no, unfortunately." :-* :-* :P

I dont read books all the time, and neither am I an arts person, so occasionally I have to look up words.

it's about four women, and how women in general are labeled/defined as witches. only it's not really. it's difficult to explain.

anything i should bring? :eyelash:
Hmm.. let's see. Leather straps, chocolate cake, a donkey (live or stuffed, preferably stuffed for safety's sake) and of course your beautiful self.
:-[
mmmmmmmmm... you're on, you gorgeou...
hang on. what's this about a donkey? :o
Did I say donkey?? I meant a hippopotamus.

Can you hand me a picture of yourself to keep the keep my mom away?
You know How cute you are, my mom saying she was a cock tease and all. Not to me bitch!
Do you compose your posts on the refrigerator first?

What is your novel about. How about a synopsis?
it's about four women, and how women in general are labeled/defined as witches. only it's not really. it's difficult to explain.
Hmm, im surprised you havent written an exotic synopsis for it, isnt that how books get sold these days?

no excuse. i'm an assistant examiner for GCSE science papers, and poor spelling loses marks.
lol, those papers I wouldnt exactly call science, what they have done with them makes them more like geography. Poor spelling does lose marks, but then thats only on QWC questions and for those I could spell the words they were looking for i think.
you obviously did a different board from me, then.
Hmm, im surprised you havent written an exotic synopsis for it, isnt that how books get sold these days?
i have. and i'm not posting it here. get it into your head that i don't post personal stuff, for heaven's sake. ::)here.

I take it you meant I was one of the "little boys". I am just drawn to things that I find interesting.
Have you ever had a psychologist tell you that you should study to be a psychologist? My last psychologist said that to me haha.

Refrigerator, that all you got? I bet the refrigerator is cooler than you, probably smarter.
Damn Lucy, I try and be nice and you give me shit. Well whatever, I don't want it, now you just keep it to yourself to roll around in.

I wouldnt descibe a synopsis as personal, but then I dont know what you have put in it, and i guess a private person like yourself writes under a psudonym anyway.
As for the exam I sat it was 2 years ago and wasnt majorly bad but having looked at the new papers, they are deviod of science. This kind of explains why i have a problem with it...

never seen it. is it good? do they wear sexy clothes?
they have a meat gun.(no not a penis :laugh:) and sexy people, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Jude Law... :P i really like it, it's Cronenberg's. Matrix is very clean and sterile and rubbery and hitech,while eXistenZ is the opposite. you know, Cronenberg style, down to earth and fleshy and deliciously gross. :P i like both movies but i found eXistenZ more enjoyable.

Yeah he said the refridgerator is cooler than you and most likely smarter as well. Then he said you give him shit and he gives it back for you to roll around in it. Basically you are not cool, maybe dumber than an appliance and he wants you to roll around in all the shit you give him. Sounds like he wants to identify people with inanimate objects and has a scat fetish.

Oh well maybe I am some kind of interpreter. There needs to be interpretation between your kind and his, correct?
Oh noes Bjork says I am WRONG. Well fridges are cooler than people. I still thinks he has a scat fetish because he wants to see Lucifer roll around in her own shit.

is that what he was on about?
hmmmm. now i can see why my brain glazes over whenever i see one of his posts. ::)

yes you are wrong Alex. Flo was merely saying fridges are cooler than people because they don't have body heat. as for rolling around in something Flo meant something utterly different than poop.

Refrigerator is cooler than you = you are not as cool as a refigerator and might not be as smart as one either (he didn't mean literally cool, but she isn't as cold as a fridge, which would be a compliment.. calling her warm)
Give me shit, keep it to yourself and roll around in it = stop making fun of me when I am nice to you, please keep it to yourself
Literally he wants her to play in the shit (insults) she dishes out to him.

You’re all wrong, this is what he said:
A refrigerator? I do declare that your retort is not satisfactory. It is of my belief that you are not as fashionable as said kitchen appliance. Also, I question your intelligence in relation to the refrigerator. My goodness Lucifer, I endeavor to be pleasant with you, instead I have received ridicule. In any case, I do not care for your ridicule, so you may have it back. Perhaps you would care to revel in it yourself.

I have my reasons for asking, you did start off by flaming me remember. If it isnt you then this little game ive been playing with you can end... :)

i believe that it was you who started getting very insistent and intrusive with your questioning. which i pointed out to you.
i don't think i've actually ever flamed anyone on here. perhaps i'm wrong - i dare say someone will point it out, if so.
i told you - i consider very few people worth that much effort. i do wish you'd listen.

You are the idiot who went along with my little game. Look in the advocasy forum, nice introduction btw. I have fun with the first person who comes to my attention as being aggressive and unwelcoming whenever i join a forum that i can get away with it, you just happened to be it.

well done. you must be very proud.
and you wonder why people take against you in interviews, and such?

Oh i doubt you are as fanciable as your apparently narcisstic behavior seems to state. The obvious reason why i wouldnt fancy you is as you have so frequently pointed out to me, you are more than twice my age. And I said game is over, you are the one who seems to want to continue it. Ive had my fun, but if you want to continue it be my guest... *yawns*

well it wasn't as easy as i thought since it seems to be a gif. i suck at tweaking gifs, i have no idea how to change them without fucking up the color thing and background transparency. so i couldn't make it into a gif, i made it into a bmp. i hope that's ok Callaway. maybe someone can make it into a gif later. :P

Just a minute or two. I've been learning stuff on PS as I've needed to, making textures and the like for Second Life. I also have a t-shirt "business" on cafepress which has forced me to learn some things as well.

I made it in photoshop... here you are Callaway.
lol, id guessed so. How long did it take you? Are you a frequent shopper?
Just a minute or two. I've been learning stuff on PS as I've needed to, making textures and the like for Second Life. I also have a t-shirt "business" on cafepress which has forced me to learn some things as well.
Hmm, I used to play around with shop when i was a little younger. As for second life, what have you built?
Lots of stuff, nothing particularly cool though... I mostly just script these days. My wife builds the cool shit, then I script it.

actually i probably would, if it landed me in trouble, or if i didn't believe what i'd said or done, and it was just for show. most of the time, though, my "arrogance" is forgetting that most people don't like a smart alec.
either that, or it's deliberate, for my own entertainment (and others, if they find it amusing).

Chris Tucker was absolutely ridiculous in that movie. Gary Oldman did a decent job as the main villian as well. My favourite parts were the cityscapes with the buildings and flying car traffic.

I have no idea who started it, this seems to be about things that happened before my time on here. And asides, who started it is irrelevent.

why do you think it's irrelevant? i'd say it was very relevant, from wherever you're standing.

Because each person accuses of each other of that (i am sure your students use the "he started it" lark), I am sure this is probably a deep rooted matter that is missing from the debate.

it may well be, but i can assure you it isn't from my pov. i have no idea why pyraxis wants to go for me, and am losing interest in wanting to know the reason by the second.
-
What herbs would you recommend for daily use? I've got lots of mint at the moment, and a fair amount of lemon balm and rosemary. And why does there seem to be so many herbs that are supposedly good for ovaries and uterus's and such, but so few that are good for balls and penises?
-
horny goat weed for men's bits and doings (natch :laugh: ). you'd have to be a bit more specific about what you'd want the herbs for, cos they're all different, and for specific uses. give me an idea, and i'll have a think, and look it up, if needs be.
lemon balm is good for colds, and possbly headaches (although it doesn't always work for some people). mint is an excellent digestive and good for expelling wind - highly recommended for IBS, which i use it for, and it really works. rosemary is good as a mind stimulant, and a memory aid thingy, but too much can give you a headache, cos it's so strong. you can also use it in rubs for sore muscles.
generally the balm is calming and uplifting (all citrus-y things are uplifting); the mint is settling, but more of a stimulant, and the rosemary is definitely a stimulant. but don't worry -you won't turn into flo for sniffing a bit of rosemary. :laugh:
if you want the herb bible, it's Mrs Grieve's book - don't remember the title, cos everyone calls it "mrs grieve's", and you can pick it up in crappy bookshops for a few quid. it's fascinating - one day, i may even get round to reading it all. :laugh:
-

wrong. as i've said, i wouldn't trust pyraxis as far as i could spit bolivia, and she knows that. but i actually had nothing against the woman - as i keep saying, most people don't interest me enough for me to be fucked not liking them. waste of energy.
i still haven't heard why she attacked me, although i have my suspicions. as i said, i was interested in the reason(s), but now it's just dull.
-
I meant for the general maintenance of physical and mental well-being; prevention of cancer, infections, daytime fatigue etc. I've never noticed any stimulant effect from rosemary; I often add a dessert spoonful of chopped rosemary to stuff I'm cooking. How much does it take to act as a stimulant?
At the moment I'm trying mint tea as an appetite stimulant to counteract the appetite suppressant effects of the dextroamphetamine, and adding lemon balm to it in an it's-probably-good-for-me-somehow way.

I think she has scored some points on you this time, even if she has stepped down in the gutter to do it. What I dont get is why she went to such an effort.
-
for general stuff, i'd say echinacea for immune system strengthening (although you mustn't take it for very long - i wouldn't take it for more than a fortnight, and then have a good break). goldenseal is the other one for that, and probably better, but humungously expensive.
ginseng is a goody too, for general zip and zing, and is supposed to be top notch for sexual stuff - i know, i know, but flo has that bit right.
gingko bilboa for intellectual muscle, and lecithin (although not a herb) is good for that, too - some large percentage or other of the brain is made up of lecithin.
and get a mutivitamin and mineral supplement - my diet's pretty good, but i take those anyway.
apples are very good, btw.
nettles are good for cleansing the system, but taste fucking horrible in tea - i'd rather eat the young tips in salads.
rosemary is powerful stuff, but its stimulating effect isn't like, say, drinking a cup of coffee. it's subtler than that.
to be honest, i don't know of any other allrounder herb-wise - i know more about sepcific herbs for specific things. :( i have suspicion that mandrake root is good for something to do with male sexual stuff, but i'll be buggered if i can remember what. :-\

I encourage you to read through those chat conversations carefully, there are several places where you cross many lines in them. I would be appreciative if you gave a response on the matter.
Is that more sanitised for you?

pfffft!
you can "encourage" me all you like. when you stop behaving as though you're in any sort of position to act as a "wise elder" to me, i may start listening.
and you have no idea about "crossing lines". you know jack shit about the situation. and yes, i do realise you're hanging around and trying to goad me into replying, to explain the situation. well, don't hold your breath - i'm contrary like that.

Executing rapists, maybe?
I take a multi-supplement, plus extra vitamin C, zinc, calcium and magnesium. Ginkgo I take now and then, and tried growing, but it died, and I eat a fair amount of apples, since there are very cheap ones. I've got some siberian ginseng, which isn't really ginseng. I had some korean ginseng, but I never noticed it doing anything.

you need to take such things for a bit before you notice anything, although i have to say i'm the same with ginseng. but then, i never know how to measure things, and there's so much shit going on all the time, i can't tell if i'm "improved" or not, cos i'm so up and down. ::)
i've never heard about mandrake being used for executing rapists. perhaps you could smack them about the head with it, if you got a big enough root. :laugh:

Mandrake (http://www.earthwitchery.com/mandrake.html)
Medicinal Uses: Cathartic; Emetic; Hallucinogenic; Narcotic. Mandrake has a long history of medicinal use, though superstition has played a large part in the uses it has been applied to. It is rarely prescribed in modern herbalism, though it contains hyoscine which is the standard pre-operative medication given to soothe patients and reduce bronchial secretions[244]. It is also used to treat travel sickness. The fresh or dried root contains highly poisonous alkaloids and is cathartic, strongly emetic, hallucinogenic and narcotic. In sufficient quantities it induces a state of oblivion and was used as an anaesthetic for operations in early surgery. It was much used in the past for its anodyne and soporific properties. In the past, juice from the finely grated root was applied externally to relieve rheumatic pains, ulcers and scrophulous tumours. It was also used internally to treat melancholy, convulsions and mania. When taken internally in large doses, however, it is said to excite delerium and madness. The root should be used with caution, and only under the supervision of a qualified practitioner. The leaves are harmless and cooling. They have been used for ointments and other external applications to ulcers etc.

I am not a total communist, i wouldnt define myself on the political spectrum in a left-right manner, some of my views fit the centre, and others both wings.

I do have a good enough understanding of nuclear power to know the left is totally wrong on that one. Unless you have some brilliant arguement against it that I am not aware of.
-
my main argument these days is that most arguments are completely moot - we should never have got into a position where they're needed, and wouldn't have, if people had listened and acted upon what we were saying about the indiscriminate use of fossil fuels, 30 years ago.

But we are there, and true people should have listened. We are where we are, and nuclear power is the best way forward, at least for a large chunk of our power. Lots of the so called green methods are not as green as people like to make out, and they are certainly not reliable. The green groups seem to have an idealistic view of what is actually possible.

i've read it, countless times - i've been a member for decades.
how does that prove your claims in the quotation above? and if i wanted to debate nuclear power, i'd be doing so in the nuclear power thread, so i'm not interested in your "proving" why nuclear power is or isn't a good thing. please address my point above, and stick to it.
-
It shows that they are making an assumption that we can do without nuclear power, and also if you break it down shows an awful lot of doom mongering, and sensationalism.
Now the next set of stuff:
Wiki shows the issues with biofuels:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biofuels#Current_Issues_in_Biofuel_Production_and_Use
I quite like this section on intermitability of power from wiki as well:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power#Intermittency_and_variability
That shows that wind is not a stable power source. With nuclear you have a guaranteed power supply at least, with wind you run the risk of brown outs.
I shall do some more digging and post some more stuff in abit.

please do. i'm afraid wiki isn't the be all and end all of references. i'd like some unbiased political commentary, from reputable sources, for a start, since what i'm asking is a political issue, rather than an environmental one. and please note the last part - i did ask you to back up your claims about "idealism", not give me evidence for or against the use of alternative technology. so i don't need anymore refs. like the ones you provided. ::)

i'm not wading through 30 pp. of yawnfest, ta. but it sounds familiar - every so often, someone gets exercised by it. boris johnson did, a few months back.
as far as i'm concerned, seeing as how students now have to fucking well pay for higher education, it's a consumer's market, and they can demand what they want, and expect to get it. how can you put a value on a "subject"? i'm a subscriber to the "trained minds" school, personally, but that's no longer possible, given the introduction of fees. after all, a lot of the people who whinge about "non-subjects" have Classics degrees. irony, anyone?

I would say classics is a waste of time myself, but at least it shows that someone has undergone difficult academic study. But some of these courses do make me laugh. What annoys me is I am effectively paying for them through my top up fees. Outdoor Adventure and Philosophy anyone? Or how about Equine Psychology?
-
How can you define a "classics" degree? Old fashioned tutoring with the cane or summat?
If she's hawt, then I'm definitely a naughty boy. :eyebrows:
-

Lol, its Homer and his Illiad and that lark i think. Studying all the greek and roman stuff.
-
Homer was awesome. Epic shit. Both the Iliad and the Odyssey, I had to read that shit in High School. Antigone was also good by Sophocles.
-
i don't think anything should have a value ascribed to it. people should be able to study the classics, or fine art or anything else. just because there isn't some sort of economic outcome, doesn't mean it isn't valuable.
who was it said that you need to feed the soul as well as the body?
anyway, it IS about the depth and rigour of the academic work, not the subject. (which is what "trained minds" is about, if anyone had bothered to check up on it).

Exactly why these courses in the report are nonsense. They require little intellectual ability to complete, for those students that bother to stay at the end. The economics do matter, at the end of the day why should I be paying top up fees to subsidise all these courses that have no or very little benefit to the tax payer, some of these are taken purely as a hobby, rather than meaningful study.
-
what's wrong with studying something for the sake of it? you're going down the route of "meaningful" again.
and besides, have you ever paid taxes? cos your top up fees do'nt go to subsidise anyone else's tuition fees, oh daily mail reader.

Nothing at all. What is wrong is everyone else paying for them to do such a course. Courses that effectively are invitations for people to drink for 3 years certainly should not be run.
Yes, I have paid taxes before. I shall be paying even more in the future. As for my top up fees subsiding someone else, yes they do. The government pays around £5500 for each student (per year) in addition to the unis getting top up fees. If the non-courses were cancelled there would be money availiable to reduce top-up fees. By quite a bit, as well.

"Equine Psychology" could be extremely useful for a person who plans a career working with horses, though.
"Outdoor Adventure with Philosophy" could be valuable for people who head outdoor expeditions.
"Fashion Buying" could be useful training for the buyers who buy clothing fashions for stores.
"Golf Management" could be a good thing to know if it is your ambition to manage a golf course.
I'm not sure what a person who studies "Science: Fiction and Culture" could do with the degree, but I'm certain there must be something.
And what exactly is wrong with the classics, anyway?
What is wrong with wanting an education just for the sake of being an educated person, even if all the person does with their education is stay home and raise children?
Sorry, this is an old discussion I had with my younger brother. He said I was wasting my education if I stayed home and raised my daughter.
-
typical. again, i come back to the point of trained minds, and the joy of education for its own sake. good for you, callaway. that sort of suggestion comes dangerously near to the old "women don't need to be educated" idea. how mediaeval. ::)

Nothing at all, asides the state is sponsoring you to do it (in the UK), so really the state should get something back out of it. Bear in mind these courses definately do not educate to degree level standard, and certainly will not provide job oppotunities at the level a degree should. If these people were actually getting a meaningful education i would object a lot less.

the state IS getting something out of it - someone bringing up their kid.
i see, as usual, that being a mother is relegated to "useless". i sometimes wonder how far we've really come in the fight for equal opportuinites. ::)

I think an educated mother would be able to raise a well informed, educated person. Someone who is more aware of the world at large.
I'm constantly learning crap that has no bearing on my career, and things some would consider useless, but I love learning, simple as that.

excellent point, tesla. :clap:
and i love learning just for the sake of it, too. i want to be a walking encyclopaedia. :laugh:

Someone doing one of those courses has got almost nothing out of it, thats the whole point. They cant even pass on their knowledge to their children, becuase they gained none from that course. In Callaways case, I would agree with you because she took an academically rigourous course, and learned stuff.

The 25% or above drop out rates for a start. And the earlier report by the taxpayers allience, which I began with. Another thing that stands out is the laughable entry requirements, have you heard of the acronym GIGO before?

Might it be possible that the high drop rate is due to people entering the class thinking the same as you and find out *gasp!* that they'll actually have to work?

True enough. My point, that you've just validated, is that you don't know either way. You're talking out of your ass. You've reached a conclusion and now any and all facts support that conclusion in your mind.

Either way the course shouldnt be there. I would love to see an explaination for the high drop out rate that doesnt make the course look bad. I went to an HE fair about 18 months ago now, and at the fair there was a place called "Writtle College", who was selling some of these courses. They tried to sell them to me and my friend basically as a fun doss. They even gave us nice lollypops.

You've never taken one or any other college level course yet you say they shouldn't be there. When asked for proof, you offer up supposition. When called on that, you offer up an anecdote (i.e. one instance). Here's a lesson I learned in college, anecdote <> data.
And regarding that anecdote itself, at that school it may have been a blowoff course. Does that guarantee that similarly named courses in respectable and known places of education would also have no merit?

No, they tried to sell me several courses (we let them because we liked the lollypops). If you want a more scientific arguement, you can compare the entry requirements of these courses with a meaningful course and see if it helps you make up your mind. Remember GIGO :)

Look at Durham, the place I am off to, and compare the figures with that of Derby, named in the report as the greatest provider of non-courses. Take a good look at the difference in entry standards as well.

Either way the course shouldnt be there. I would love to see an explaination for the high drop out rate that doesnt make the course look bad. I went to an HE fair about 18 months ago now, and at the fair there was a place called "Writtle College", who was selling some of these courses. They tried to sell them to me and my friend basically as a fun doss. They even gave us nice lollypops.
You've never taken one or any other college level course yet you say they shouldn't be there. When asked for proof, you offer up supposition. When called on that, you offer up an anecdote (i.e. one instance). Here's a lesson I learned in college, anecdote <> data.
And regarding that anecdote itself, at that school it may have been a blowoff course. Does that guarantee that similarly named courses in respectable and known places of education would also have no merit?
No, they tried to sell me several courses (we let them because we liked the lollypops). If you want a more scientific arguement, you can compare the entry requirements of these courses with a meaningful course and see if it helps you make up your mind. Remember GIGO :)
One or several, so what? It's still only one source.
Sure, I wouldn't mind a scientific argument. Feel free to make one. (Hint: Telling someone else to do your work is not making an argument.) For bonus points, make sure that you understand the differences between scientific, logical, statistical and rhetorical arguments.
Here is the university league table from the Times Good University Guide:
http://extras.timesonline.co.uk/gug/gooduniversityguide.php
Look at Durham, the place I am off to, and compare the figures with that of Derby, named in the report as the greatest provider of non-courses. Take a good look at the difference in entry standards as well.
Wait. I thought you were comparing courses. Now you're talking about comparing schools. Do make up your mind, please.
I am comparing courses by means of the universities that run them. Derby is the main culprit for the non-courses, according to the initial report that I posted, where as Durham does not run a single one.

Problem with Durham is that it is full of people who have grudges because they failed to get in Oxbridge.
I don't care if it is the best establishment in England, it is no fun pretending that you are not really a failure for 3 years.
May as well go to Leeds or wherever and have a good time.

Same with most top unis these days, asides Oxbridge. Asides, I chose the uni because I like the place, and the course suited me. I doubt Oxford would have suited me as well tbh.

There is a big difference between the colleges. eg. You wouldn't want to be at Christ Church if you were from a working class background.
Some colleges are more Northern, sporty, whatever, it is a bit of a mix.
You will find as many pretentious people at Durham as at Oxford. I would argue more - but anyway, im sure there are some good people too.
I don't know about the other 'top unis', and i don't which they are either - i guess they have changed over the last 10 years.
I spent some time at York uni, and i would recommend it for sure.

York didnt have as good a course, Bath was actually my insurance choice. As for Durham, if you stay clear of Castle and Hatfield then you can more or less miss off most of the snobs.

Are you actually going to argue that outdoor adventure with philosopy is a good quality and worthwhile degree. I would love to hear your case for it.
What if you were going to lead people along the Kokoda trail as your profession?
The two subjects combined is interesting.
If you go to a class and learn something, then it is not pointless.

Reneden, the problem is they are selling something more akin to A-levels as a degree. I seriously doubt any degree level learning will be going on in such a course, and some of the stuff that is on the course sounds like total bull. To be a guide you need experience, not an academic qualification.

... the state is sponsoring you to do it (in the UK), so really the state should get something back out of it.
Hold on. State sponsorship, in the UK, increasinfgly takes the form of loans, not grants. And if they were'nt increasing the numer of people in "higher" education (Yep, i do wonder how much "higher" it actually is, in many instances) then they'd only have to pay out more (non-repayable)unemployments benefits. So the State does pretty well out of the deal, imo.
Is lucifer's "Ask away" thread the right place for this debate, btw? I'd rather see it split off and given a more relevant title.

stomach is middle-left (more or less) and high up, just below your sternum (breastbone). liver is on the right side (although across the middle, too), and further towards the back, almost behind the stomach, if you like. so you're not wrong.

looks a bit like me, although i haven't got those alexis of dynasty lips (thank fuck).
i could probably get away with that outfit (with a headwind, and kind lighting).
:laugh:
ta, dawg. :thumbup:

You could stab around in that outfit just fine.
It wasn't so much the vague cacacature (and certainly not the lips) that made me think of you, nor was it the overdone eyes. The undead, off-cyan skintone actually puts me off a bit, but the overall expectation portrayed brings me right back.
You have not led me to believe that you have leathery wings with claws either, but the ability to pull-off staring the world down and pouting for the sake of effect, certainly made me think of you. Doing it in hot boots makes it seem that much more familiar. Aside from that, it seemed that you could use a little light-hearted seasonal frivolity.
:evillaugh:

panic not - my skin is much darker than that (i look a bit "exotic", most of the time). and i only share those wings with people who wish they hadn't asked. ;)

If you showed up for a lecture wearing any part of that outfit, it would be a hit. Just don't test the attendees on its content. (content of the lecture, that is)
As far as seasonal, it looks like a "harvest moon" to me, which means a rich golden color this time of year. Also, in this country, anything even slightly supernatural gets thrown in with creepy things and called Halloween decor.

Have you ever eaten unsweetened baking chocolate bars before? I have when the chocolate cravings were intense, but they are a little too bitter for me. I prefer 70% - 85% chocolate though.

Of course, that's so true isn't it. There was a time when it was nice to know that Africans were suffering for our commodities. But now it just seems they may have acclimatised to that pain somewhat. Its no fun anymore. Can't really wear diamonds with pride, glistening in the sunlight, knowing they were harvested off the back of severe human misery now can we? Its a shame really. Damn it!!!

what of Nescafé?
-
good on yer, dawg! :clap:
nestlé are corporate cunts who (as one example) cause the deaths of hundreds, possibly thousands, of babies in the developing world, by promoting their powdered milk formula over breast feeding. this is a disaster is three ways:
1) there's no clean water supply to make up the milk, so the babies get cholera, typhoid, diphtheria, whatever's going;
2) it's only free for a short time, so the families, already utterly impoverished, have to find money which should be feeding the whole family, to pay for the formula, cos the mother's milk has dried up by then:
3) the babies don't get the protection of the antibodies from breast milk, so they're more susceptible to any infections.
cunts. :finger:
-
what of Nescafé?
Nescafe is a brand of coffee made by Nestle. And Nestle is just another bullyboy corporation. Offering Cocoa farmers in places like Ghana and the Ivory Coast 'take it or leave it price' for cocoa beans. While the farmers bearly scrape by, Nestle's profits soar.
People boycott Nestlé coffee and chocolate products in favour of fair trade alternatives.
Also a Nestle Boycott started in the 70's regarding the company's marketing of breast milk substitutes in developing countries: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nestl%C3%

Yep, even though I wasn't stoned during the day at all. Its too bad I didn't eat a Kit Kat (or Nestle Crunch) bar at school when they were showing the Burmese protesters on TV at the cafe while wearing my red shirt lol.
In the end admittedly I don't actually give a shit about those people. Its bad and all that babies die due to people not being educated enough to choose breastfeeding (giving away free products is hardly something I would condemn). Same goes for unfair business practices, though those are just one of the many reasons why I don't like any big corporations really. That doesn't mean I don't buy their products though. They shouldn't have just a peaceful protest, should kill some Nestle execs when they visit the plant or farms. Of course no big Nestle employees/execs are going to visit Burma anytime soon due to these protests. I hate big corporations enough to make things like that an issue just to prove a point. That seems to be something I do at times of my choosing.
Being misanthropic means that I would actually rather see everyone die, not just these people specifically. Which is how I happen to feel, but I fight it to the best of my ability. I hate all people eventually and not always at first meeting (start off rather indifferent/apathetic unless I can identify with their problems in some way), my misanthropy is in practice as there has been no person that I haven't learned to hate in my lifetime. That doesn't mean I deny giving them a chance to earn my hatred from time to time. The hatred is of course worse when betrayed by someone I learn to enjoy the company of.

i just yayed her to 666.
My guess is Scrap.
i yayed her to 666, too. but every time scrap is on, she's gheyed.

Given your username, i think 666 suits you rather nicely. Maybe thats what he is trying to achieve?

Do you find grimoires to be pointless when written in English? I do; there's nothing exciting or mysterious about it.
When you've done HIV-research (can't remember your position), were you ever mocked or patronised because of your witchcraft?
-
you have a point, but they'd be just incomprehensible if they were written in any other language. i've never actually seen a proper, old grimoire, though. they're not generally found all over the place.
as for the second bit - no. i wasn't a witch in those days. well, i didn't know i was, put it that way: iwas still a catholic.

Could you tell me more about your transition, please? It sounds interesting.
Personally, I kinda find it bizarre (nothing personal) that a scientist would dabble into something that most of that kind would deem as "nonsense" or "primitive".
-
iut's so dull, its practically unworthy of a mention. however, i was reading a book, and suddenly thought, "that's me". the book was about witches and witchcraft. i didn't have to change my lifestyle, or anything i did whatsoever, except i stopped practising as a catholic.
really, that's it. it wasn't a great surprise to me, and i'd been called a witch for years, anyway, by various people. sorry about the lack of drama.
-
it's not weird at all that a scientist would be a witch. witches are scientists by nature, if you ask me. would you agree?
-
Are there any witch gatherings that you go to?
-
like a coven?
-
Have you tried tapping the power
of a mass since?
-

that's a really interesting idea - :plus: for making me think already this morning! :clap:
yes, i think i'd agree with you. inquisitive; wanting to know how and why things work as they do; finding alternative ways to do things; interested in cause and effect; troubleshooting; healing work; cause and effect...
yep, i can think of lots of ways in which a witch (groan) uses scientific processes. good one, milla. ;D :-*
-
Are there any witch gatherings that you go to?
not any more, not really. i used to belong to a coven, but i work solo now, with some interaction with witches who are my friends. i'll probably go to public (i.e. open) witch/pagan gatherings again, though.
-

that's satanists, not witches.

Power is power, no?
The way that it oozes out
of an old cathedral is just too
much to turn my back on.
-
do what you like - i'm not an energy vampire, as i don't need to be - i can get energy/power from easier and less melodramatic sources.

Hmm, what are the core beliefs among witches, or are there none? What exactly happens at these gatherings.
-
depends on the gathering. there aren't really belief systems as such, not like formal religions - there's no "official" book or authority,for a start.
as for what goes on, it depends whether it's an open gathering or a closed one. nothing dreadfully exciting though, to be honest - if only the sunday scream newspapers actually stopped dramatising the whole thing, it'd stop people being so interested. ::) basically, it's some sort of celebration of a festival, and then, generally, some "work" (i.e. energy work, or magic, if you want to call it that), which tends to be healing, or finding someone a job or new house - mundane things like that.

it's funny how some want to separate spirituality and nature. they are sides of the same coin. quantum science has different rules than regular science. that already explains a lot. a lot of quantumical things can be seen as magical.
-
indeed - when everyone else in my student group (when i was doing my teaching degree-thing) knotted their brains trying to understand "in search of schrodinger's cat", i breezed through it, having more of a inclination towards things which can't be explained in "normal" ways (yet).
also, there's a school of thought which combines eastern (particularly) mysticism and quantum physics - fritjof capra's "the tao of physics", and gary zukov's "the dancing wu li masters" are two books i can think of, off the top of my head.
the easiest way i explain "magic" is by saying that everything is energy (simplistic, i kow), and that the desk your computer on isn't solid, but made up of mostly space, with teeny little things whizzing round. "magic" is just manipulation of that energy.
oh, and "quantumical" is fab! :laugh:
-
:-* thanks, i like it myself. :P
yeah it's all energy. and when you think of it that way nothing's really too wacky to be tossed in the X-files pile. :laugh: it can all be understood. it's all very simple really, people just like to complicate things. they think complicated things are smarter than simple things. when understanding and appreciating simplicity is what is really wise, and is lacking in current science. if you ask me. also scientists need more intuition. it's all so mechanical to them, and the universe is alive, it's no more a machine than man.

I probably do know more about physics than you do, because I studied physics before I studied astronomy. But to answer your question, there are about 20 full-time astronomer positions in Sweden, or were then. Anyone serious about astronomy here needs to like Chile, Spain or Italy.

In your writing class, do you approve of your students beginning sentences with conjunctions such as "but" or "and"?
Are you a fan of the Oxford comma?

Congratulations on your 15,000th post.
yay!
thanks, sexy. :-*
-
In your writing class, do you approve of your students beginning sentences with conjunctions such as "but" or "and"?
depends - if it's appropriate to the narrative voice/genre, etc., then yes. creative writing isn't an exact science, and one has to take into account all the different elements - voice, pov, characterisation, narratological style, genre, etc., etc.
Are you a fan of the Oxford comma?
no idea - what is it?
-
no idea - what is it?
It's basically an "up yours!" statement towards the current British system of making lists within a sentence.
British: Cats, dogs and birds.
American/Oxford: Cats, dogs, and birds.
-
again, it depends. generally, no, as one doesn't put a comma after the last in a list. but, again, sometimes, it's just "right" to do so.
you can see why marking undergrad folders is a bloody nightmare, can't you?

Blame the abolition of teaching English grammar in our schools back in the sixties.
It's fucking ironic that you learn grammar from a language class.

In technical writing, British and American, the "Oxford comma", also known as the serial comma, is quite common and required by many style guides, as it helps separate the items listed. When I worked as an editor, forgetting that comma was a common error.

that's for lists in which the items have more than one word, which is another way of putting wot de O Man said. :laugh:

It got an A*. Still doesnt mean I give a damn about Shakesphere, its well past our time. If he actually wrote good plays I would be more interested, but the fact is in the modern era, it bores the fuck out of the vast majority of students (ignoring miss snooty swatface in the corner)

This is way more than a couple of years ago. Lord of the Rings, Redwall or just about anything would be better than Shakesphere. At least the majority of people in those classes might just enjoy the subject a little.

Oh, answer my second while you are at it. General education is merely a list of things that happen to be, so some "noble" moron thinks it should continue to be. Explain the point of the masses learning Latin for example...
-
when did i suggest "the masses" should learn latin? ??? stop taking the pills, child - they're making you hallucinate.
however...
learning latin and/or greek enables one to enter into a far more interesting relationship with language and words in general: if one can see the etymological connexions, it gives one a raft of transferable knowledge. as an example, teachers spend ages getting kids to understand that "kilo" means a thousand, thus enabling them to work out relationships between units of measurement, etc. it would also help with vocabulary, and thus reading, to equip people to be able to work out the meaning of words.
suffice it to say that i've taught etymology (insofar as latin and greek roots are concerned) to very young kids, and as i put it into a context they could "relate to" and enjoy (hence the "iPod" issue), they loved every minute of it. and i was never taught latin and greek, or classics - i learned that sort of thing by myself - although i wish i had been.

Maybe I should have rephrased my question slightly. If you put Latin in the timetable, how is it better than what has been taken out?

no, i can't. all the people i've met who read clasics are fine specimens of humanity.
as for putting anything in the timetable, "direct learning" is codswallop, and just leads to cramming kids' heads with useless facts. learning "indirectly", as i suppose i'll have to put it, is of far more value, and (your point from a few posts above) relevant and interesting.
still, i don't expect you to listen to anything i've said, as you know everything already, and are right all the time (in your head).

still, i don't expect you to listen to anything i've said, as you know everything already, and are right all the time (in your head).
There is a hell of a difference between listening and agreeing, or more to the point reading in this case.

when did i suggest "the masses" should learn latin? ??? stop taking the pills, child - they're making you hallucinate.
Its the in the mix the same Tories you seem to have aligned yourself with seem to think should be part of an education
:LMAO: honestly hadron, you really do talk out of your arse. you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about - anyone who knows the slightest thing about me would be howling with mirth at that load of utter wank. :LMAO:
Oh, do you stroll around with a communist flag draped over your shoulders now?
sigh... don't be a knob all your life - have a day off. ::)
however...
learning latin and/or greek enables one to enter into a far more interesting relationship with language and words in general: if one can see the etymological connexions, it gives one a raft of transferable knowledge. as an example, teachers spend ages getting kids to understand that "kilo" means a thousand, thus enabling them to work out relationships between units of measurement, etc. it would also help with vocabulary, and thus reading, to equip people to be able to work out the meaning of words.
suffice it to say that i've taught etymology (insofar as latin and greek roots are concerned) to very young kids, and as i put it into a context they could "relate to" and enjoy (hence the "iPod" issue), they loved every minute of it. and i was never taught latin and greek, or classics - i learned that sort of thing by myself - although i wish i had been.
Maybe I should have rephrased my question slightly. If you put Latin in the timetable, how is it better than what has been taken out? Direct learning is a lot better than going the long way around, imo. I am sure you can guess what wankers come out of the Classics degree, along with the unemployable...
no, i can't. all the people i've met who read clasics are fine specimens of humanity.
Including Boris and some of the wankers that sit at the top of the Civil Service?

it's there. but if you're one of these people who thinks one shouldn't read/listen to/experience anything older than a couple of years, i pity you. and the diminution of general knowledge/culture is utterly saddening.
This is way more than a couple of years ago. Lord of the Rings, Redwall or just about anything would be better than Shakesphere. At least the majority of people in those classes might just enjoy the subject a little.
I agree, with my opinion. I had to read some Shakespeare in high school and I found it really boring. But then again, I found Lord of the Rings boring too. Even the movies. I just don't have the attention span to follow the plot.

Reading a play is nowhere near as enjoyable as
watching (or being in) one. LOTR was so so (the
book), the movie was less so, for me, because there
was so much wrong with it. But, the book had too
many sections which just dragged on and on, with little
purpose. The ancillary works are even worse. Way too
much poetry.
-
i've asked several people this, and many agree: i read LOTR as a child, and loved it. when i tried to read it again as an adult, i found it practically impenetrable - it's really dry an, as you say, cal, drones on and on. funny that.
but then there are quite a few books like that for me. i obviously had a far more sophisticated reading ability when i was young (as in about 12), as i zipped through stuff like "The Glass Bead Game" with alacrity and enjoyment, and can't see myself having the patience to sit through it now. strange... :-\
-
I've always found LOTR to be infinitely dull.
-
yep. the horses of mannanan mac lir were good in the film, though.
-
The films were OK. Sometimes good, even, but the books are a waste of perfectly good trees.

Exactly why I suggested it (although there are plenty of other good books out there that could be used instead). The problem is that the majority of people in english classes feel completely alienated, Shakesphere should be saved for later on for those who might enjoy it, and only as an option.

the emboldening ( :laugh: ) has crept in without my input. there is a "d" missing, though. perhaps I2's got an automatic (and surreal) spellchecker.

"siddhartha" is lovely. and "narziss and goldmund" is worth a look.

Read both. Like I said, I'm kinda so so on hesse,
so I didn't really enjoy, I guess.
Read any Faulkner? I liked what I saw of his.

not yet - what would you recommend?

I only read the first and third
(I buy books used) of the snopes
trilogy. The Hamlet, and The Mansion.
Very pretty writing. Not the most
compelling story, but for writing alone,
I think it might be the best imagery that
I've seen (whatever that means).
-
try "under milk wood" by dylan thomas. breathtaking imagery, and the way he uses words is just... orgasmic. :drool:
-
Never got around to reading any of his.
But, I only catch things by chance. Definitely
will keep an eye out.
-
oh do. the first time i heard it (i have 3 audio versions, all with richard burton, sigh...) i had to lie down by about the tenth line. it's sublime.
i'll see if i can find an audio version on mininova...

Have you read the novel "Oranges Aren't The Only Fruit"?
The main character's dealings with her Catholic upbringing and homosexuality reminds me of you, for some reason.

It's a pity that I haven't used my grammar knowledge to write out short stories and such.

noooooo, i didn't mean that, hon. i meant broadcasting the info - go for it (cos i'm always interested in learning new stuff, as you know).
and it's never too late to start writing - i was 39, you know, although i had dabbled previously. tell you what, if you want, i'll even have a gander at your stuff and give you feedback, if you like. (as long sa it's not when i'm snowed under with marking, either writing or GCSEs).

WAREZ MAH π

depends how long ago you ate it. if it was between 2-4 hours, it's somewhere in your bowel, unless it contained meat, in which case, some of it will still be fermenting and glogging about in your stomach.
if it was 4+ hours (and your digestive system is healthy, and it didn't contain meat), then it depends whether or not you've had a shit. if you haven't, might be an idea to, in case you either:
a) shit your pants, or
b) are constipated.
if you have had a shit, then it's in the sewerage system somewhere, unless you're completely repulsive and don't flush your lavatory.
anything else while i'm here?
-
what if I haven't eaten it yet?

then it's either still in the shop/restaurant, or, if you're more of a cook type, it's still in its constituent ingredient state/your freezer/fridge.

although it has given me an idea for a new jumper - cabled mathematical symbols... yay!

more than a couple of years. possibly, keeping in contact when you don't see/interact with that person on a regular, frequent basis. no hard and fast rule.

probably. and the fact you don't go to where people are, but expect them to come to you. you';re probably also similar to me in that i only keep people around if i get something out of it. that sounds terribly cold and manipulatve, but it's just honest - everyone does it, to some degree, whether they get attention, love, sex, employment, companionship, whatever, out of it, and i'm simply aware of it, and admit it: it's not to say i don't care about people (although there are very few i do care about).

QFT
But, I make the greater effort,
when I part from people. It's funny.
I don't really feel confused if I piss people
off. Or lose them when I'm NOT making an
effort. But, those that I was in close contact,
just disappear - no more e-mails, no nothing (and
no, usually the are still alive :laugh:), even though
I send stuff to them. I'm not talking about there
being any fight either - parting for purely random
reasons (jobs whatever). Seems others can manage,
but, at a distance, whatever held just slips away.
-
we just don't get the subtle bits of relating, i suspect. well, hold the front page, and then tell us we haven't got AS...
-
Damned if I really know or care what
is 'wrong' with me. I don't want it 'fixed'.
-
mostly, i don't, either. far too often recently, though, i just wish i had the ability to keep important relationships.
-
Do you find it harder to make friends,
with age?
-
never found it hard to make friends - i seem to be likeable. just that i can't sustain things - i'm getting more and more tired, and everything seems so much effort. that's due to depression, i know, but i think age comes into it, yes - i no longer have the energy.

Lucifer, you come across as very confident online. Are you as confident in person? And why are you depressed? Sorry if that's too personal a question. :-\
-

no, i'm not always as confident in person. often not, in fact. sadly, i always look as though i am, for some reason, and so everyone expects me to actually be like that.
i've had depression all my life. this one's the result of something in my personal life, so i won't elaborate more. but i don't you asking, as long as you don't mind me not really answering.

i'm not that brilliant at astrology, not in that way, anyway. i do stonking good birthcharts, though - they should be cos they take me days.
bryson is fucking hilarious. it shouldn't, cos he does it so often, but every time he says something like "Buttplug, Arizona", i piss myself laughing.

I absolutely love Bill Bryson! I read Neither Here nor There: Travels in Europe twice, and yes I peed myself, too! Especially over his experiences in Austria. :laugh:

the bryson book which is made up of his short pieces/articles is hysterical, especially the one about statistics, where people injure themselves badly enough to require a visit to A&E... with their own clothing.

Is this for a PhD? In which subject?
I'm envious. I think my studying days are over for good.
-
creative writing. i did say i get bored easily. :D
-
How does one defend a thesis on creative writing? Get all literary about existing writing? Write something really damn good and read it aloud?
-

:D
it's a little of the first thing you suggested. however, the PhD consists of a piece of original creative writing - novel, playscript, poetry: the first, in my case - and a contextualising thesis, which involves original and rigorous research, much as any other thesis. what they'll do is grill me on both my academic research and my creative choices.
bath spa university's website has a reasonable explanation of the CW PhD:

creative writing. it's a relatively new discipline in which one can gain a PhD, which makes for difficulties, cos there isn't an established "this is what one is/how it's done" rhetoric. it's a real mind fuck, at times. ::)

Lucifer, what do you think of Milan Kundera's work?
-
i like it, on the whole. i really like his writing. i do remember wanting to kill the protagonist in"the unbearable lightness of being", though - misogynist bastard. :grrr:
i want to read his essays on writing - have you ever read them?
-
He's got a collection of essays on writing called The Curtain. I started reading it about a month ago, and wound up putting it down again. I'm finding it hard to stick with anything lately. Was shocked that even Kundera couldn't keep me focused, but I just lost interest. :-\ I think my favorite of his is Immortality, but I love them all.
I loved the character of Tereza in Unbearable Lightness - she saw herself as weak, but I thought she had so much guts. I loved Juliette Binoche in the film version; she was perfect for the role. As for Tomas, I saw parallels between him and Sabina; they seemed to be the male and female version of the same type of person...just playing it out in slightly different ways. I should read that book again.
Kundera supposedly hated the film, and resolved to never again write a novel that could ever be worked into a screenplay. I loved it, but maybe I'm strange. I remember loaning it to a female friend, and she was completely shocked that a woman could like the film. I seem to be good at shocking people sometimes. :-\
-
really? i'm shocked!
/groans herself...

Something just occurred to me! I know you hated Tomas, but I just thought of a romantic line of his that you're now free to use yourself...

Concerning Vivi's "back!": I wanna see the entire back view, from head to toe. :eyebrows:
How has the witchcraft practicioner extraordinaire been lately? Have you had time to pursue any of your hobbies?
-
::)
i've been okay, not okay, pretty jolly, and rubbish, so much the same as usual. :laugh:
as for hobbies... yes - i've been knitting and crocheting and gardening and reading and playing music and therapyising people. not enough singing for my liking, though - i really should get back into that properly. and start writing something substantial.
-
Yeah, that was a pretty lame attempt at turning the title of the thread into some kind of come on lol.
Do you prefer to sing somewhere? People supposedly sing in the shower. That is something that I do not do actually. I have been caught singing in the car while listening to music, and that is embarrassing to say the least.
-
i do that, but i can't be bothered being embarrassed.
my favourite place to sing is in front of an audience, and outside, bizarrely. i seem to sing better with some sort of performance anxiety going on, and outside means i can let rip, although if i'm somewhere with great acoustics, that can do as well.
-
Are you ever nervous about speaking in front of an audience?
I sort of want to know how you deal/have dealt with that kind of thing since I will be doing this in future.
-
yes and no. i get performance anxiety (i.e. stage fright) the same as anyone else, but i love performing, so that overcomes the stage fright. i get into a roll if i get a good response, and then there's no stopping me.
if you get really het up and stressed before the event, i have some excellent yoga breathing techniques, i can give you.
-
In the past it has never bothered me until I get up and stand in front of people and see them looking at me. So I wonder if I should do that trick where I view everyone as being naked??
I don't get nervous at things that I see others get nervous at, like tests for example. I just think if I don't know something, there is nothing I can do about it.
What was the biggest audience you have spoken to?
-

either that, or just fix your focus on the clock at the back, or similar.
I don't get nervous at things that I see others get nervous at, like tests for example. I just think if I don't know something, there is nothing I can do about it.
that's a great attitude to have, and one that i generally reach after several aeons of panicking, at which point, the "oh, fuck it" module comes into play. :laugh:
What was the biggest audience you have spoken to?
blimey. erm... hundreds, definitely. possibly even thousands, cos i've performed or given speeches in big venues.
-

I like the clock idea.
blimey. erm... hundreds, definitely. possibly even thousands, cos i've performed or given speeches in big venues.
Wow.
This makes me wonder if some people are nervous every time before a speech no matter how many times they do it. While others may not be bothered by it any time.

i certainly am, and i'm an experienced performer, as it were.

/shrugs.
they're for people who don't know any better, and probably have about as much power as my socks. having said which, if people want to part with silly amounts of money for pretty things, that's up to them, and i dare say they'll work in the right hands.
i don't actually have a problem with it, though - no reason to, other than exploitation. there are some who make such things with the best of intentions, though: i wouldn't know if any of these belonged in that category without seeing the objects.

why?
why do you feel the need to prove your superiority in languages? surely it's obvious: you speak several languages, i speak only one fluently (although about 16, to varying degrees of fluency), and i both admire and am envious of your ability.
but if you need that point so badly, have it.
oh, but ask me to translate french, italian, turkish, finnish, welsh, irish gaelic, or sylheti (a dialect of bengali) and possibly a couple of others and i might have a go (out of curiosity), but i refuse to learn swedish as i find it an ugly language, and it actually hurts my ears.
