The person below

Siobhan · 20-12-06 04:49:45

ohmyGAWD that's me!

I type too loudly and I steal the shirts of people I love.

The person below is thinking about registering displeasure with the whole corrosive enterprise by not buying Christmas presents at all. S/he is contemplating what s/he could make or do that would convey a great deal of love and appreciation and quiet celebration, so that the recipients will will not feel deprived but rather embraced by a joyous sense of true holiday.

Yes - I would gather everyone up and hire a big luxury coach to take us all to the far away Bay of Islands. There we would languish every day on a silvery beach within calling distance from a cluster of rustic huts where our nights would be embraced with the fervour of steamy love and whispered secrets into each others ears. During the day we would let the sun caress our naked bodies
just as our lovers had done the night before and dream dreams of freedom and the spirit of the land we loved. There is no hard jangling commercialism here, no shrill command to keep up with the latest and greatest, but just quiet solitude where rest is freely given and gratefully received. When it is all over and uncluttered, truthfullness had stolen into our souls we would return refreshed and distant from the nightmare of what is believed and is not.

The person below has a hidden lust for something which is not rightfully theirs.

No, it's okay, the girlfriend said I could finish the strawberry ice cream.

The person below has fingernails that grow at an alarming rate.

Calenture · 20-12-06 13:00:10

I actually died a week ago, and they're still growing, as is my hair. How strange. They make it difficult to work the keyboard.

The person below believed as a child that s/he could be the exception to the universal rule, and thus immortal (and / or exempt from taxes).

"Toenails, on the other hand, never grow at all."

"Toenails, on the other FOOT."

"What?"

Yes, as an only child, I believe I am exempt from all things unpleasant. Furthermore, I deserve nothing but the best, and in lion's share, please.

The person below still remembers the personal sense of permanence that came from burning their first CD.

Hi Cal - I just read that you have a deep bass voice. I have one too - is it possible we're the same person?

Siobhan · 20-12-06 16:21:19

Hmm. quite exciting -- to think that one could push back the veil between the worlds.

In the meantime, who's with me to see if Bolero will take us, as well, to his Bay of Islands which sounds so magical that maybe the only death there is the "little death."

shamFritters · 20-12-06 19:39:08

...or am I?

the person below wants to be sure that bolero means the Bay of Islands in New Zealand, and not the ones in Newfoundland, because the person below wants to be sure about what to pack.

bolero · 20-12-06 20:30:12

ShamFritters, pack your woolies because its cold everywhere in NZ now and supposedly at the height of Summer. We would be maybe, better off in Newfoundland as long as we had those gorgeous huge dogs with us.

The person below would "do a streak" at a World Cup final football match.

I'm in, if only to see the others running in horror screaming "Aaaieeee, swamp creature!"

I'd be watching the match from the stands elevated panoramic luxury restaurant. I could eat a really nice meal there. So at least I'd have something to do while the football was on.

The person below gets extremely angry about bad punctuation and spelling and feels it a personal insult that people don't bother to pay enough attention to these important details and it also indicates that they are extremely undisciplined, of week character and who probably need a to learn an awful lot more about life before they criticise the person below and probly need a spell in the army to bring them some self control and correction in behaviour that they so very very desperately need.

Oh, I'll cop to that. It's not a wonderful trait to have, but there you have it. If I were as obsessive about the cleanliness of my house and orderliness of my work as I am about grammer, punctuation, and syntax, I'd be a much happier person!

The person below has a very idealized notion of what s/he is going to contribute to/learn from/accomplish in this forum, and is now going to share that with us:

I'm always up for being the focus of the observational activities of scientists.

The person below has a scientific theory they have been trying to get published for years with no sucess and they will try and convert us to their cause

aven frey · 21-12-06 06:18:17

your all already converted, ha ha ha!!

The person below is tired and needs a nap.

blissed · 21-12-06 08:15:15

It's 7 am, your dead right I could.

A big hug to the person below, have a nice day and give yourself a treat.

I'm opening up in a way that I do not ordinarily attempt in daily life. I'm organizing complicated memories and feelings about my past and present. I'm getting to know some interesting and fun people, not the least of whom is the crazed spellchecker rapidly gaining ground as I type this. I'm outta here!

Good heavens, I missed an entire page!

Um, I gave myself a treat a few hours ago. I'm a happy camper.

The person below is actually the person below, if I have typed quickly enough, and should look above and below, check their proper orientation, and report back to the group.

Calenture · 21-12-06 13:04:55

Or am I?

Has anyone else noticed that shamFritters refers to his/her self in the plural. shamFritters are you?

a) Twins
b) A couple
c) A family
d) A tribe
e) A nation
f) An alien 'hive' consciousness like the Borg on Star Trek.
g) The Queen
h) A loose association of artists who publish under a collective pseudonym, like 'Luther Blissett' does.
i) Me
j) blissed
k) None of the above
l) All of the above

The person below knows the answer to this question (which is a bit of a cop-out I know, but I have a headache after compiling the above list of possibilities).

Siobhan, have you read Eats, Shoots and Leaves? It's kind of a rant in favor of proper writing and the disturbing disintegration thereof. The version I read was from the UK, but there's a version out now that's been re-done for American english - mostly changes like "full stop" = "period." There's also an interesting section on whether punctuation ought to appear inside or outside of quotes. Turns out the rules are different, like the spelling of aluminium.

shamFritters · 21-12-06 18:34:27

Hi Cal - yes, I DO know the answer to that question, and many others like it. When I read (a) Twins, I totally pictured the little girls in "The Shining." Come play with us Calenture, for ever... and ever... and ever.

The person below has never seen this link:

Blissed - it's bunnies!

blissed · 21-12-06 20:26:20

Thanks theres a lot of films there I haven't seen that I don't need to watch now.

Have you ever had a dream you'd like to come true?

.

Arielle · 22-12-06 01:42:45

Yes. I had a dream that I was put in charge of the glasshouses at the Botanical Garden and I created a crazy collection of rare, exotic and (sometimes man eating) plants. I also decked out the glasshouses (now two storeys high) with commissioned leadlights, chandeliers, mosaic floors and then had parties there.

So sticking with the plant theme

The person below thinks .......................... are the coolest plants ever

blissed · 22-12-06 23:11:20

The person below thinks plants that grow on walls that don't usually have plants are the coolest plants ever.

The person below loves Christmas but has spent to much money already.

blissed · 26-12-06 23:23:42

It's actually bankrupted me.

the person below has more money than sense and will actually prove that with the post below.
