Friday q and a #83.
Wait, what's this? A returning to RYWHM land? A dusting off of the ol' premises and uncovering the posts from their rather sad trailing away? Oui, c'est la verite. I have stumbled home from my European jaunts and left my beloved rubbing up against innocent people on the Tube or whatever it is he gets up to when I'm not around, and am once again committed to the task of adding my inane rantings to the interwebs. I thank you for your patience and for those of you who occasionally checked in while I was gallivanting about the Cotswolds on a bicycle and terrorising street performers in Barcelona, THIS FRIDAY Q AND A IS YOURS AND YOURS ALONE.
Now. Enough with the shouting. My body is telling me to go to sleep, but my mind is forcing me to tackle these long-awaited questions...

I did have a better look around mindprod and you are right, it isn’t simply a novelty shock site. However, it did contain a typical array of baseless conspiracy theories that only undermine the informed opposition to the conflict/s. Of course I do not expect you are not unconditionally endorsing a site just because you slapped a link in your blog, but it does use shocking pictures without true context and associates them with opinion and arguments that are flawed. The site precludes the photographs with “to Bush, the following images are erotically stimulating”, so yes, I would call this a counterproductive trashy tasteless use of unverified photographs.
Adopting a general anti-war opinion is the first good step, but displaying a lack of understanding only undermines any collective movement. Kind of like an embarrassing criminal union thug being a member of the Labor Party. I am sure Kevin knows how the ill-informed left are more damaging to the left, than the right is. Those who are hung up on being outraged by the existence of war are often very unhelpful in improving an understanding of what is actually happening, and therefore counterproductive in seeking resolution.
My question is how would you fix Iraq? You must be practical, contemporary, and completely devoid of humour.
Gosh, that's a cheery one to start with isn't it? I'm awfully glad I've just returned from twenty-two hours on a plane and have the pleasant remains of a Valium coursing through my system.
Ben said...
What's the point of asking a question if you're going to answer it yourself?
Yeah, WP. Riddle us that.
Witty Pseudonym said...
Ben – You got me. I would ask a question that I wish to answer myself, in order to critique the other person’s answer first, of course. Oh, ok then, if you insist on hearing my opinion. Violence…… animals….. blah blah blah….. evolution……natural selection… (imbibes wine) ….. racist comment….… some really inappropriate comments about weak people deserving it or something (scratches groin aggressively and shamelessly) …….something about if only he didn’t go on two fronts, whatever that means ……. some kind of solution involving nuclear weapons using the phrase “radioactive glass statues gently tinking as they cool” ……. (you really start to hate me now)……. loudly speaking over you…… heated irrational argument involving a lot of spit ..... then finally as all failing arguments do, I descend into personal insults in drunken slurs. Ha Har! (Phil Ken Seben style) you wish that was me. It is sometimes a shame that the tone of the written word can be ambiguous. I do take your point, though. On review I do seem to be making a poor attempt at condescension and just seem boringly preoccupied with the topic. I apologise. Just fishing for intelligent debate I suppose. I thought crazy ranting was encouraged? Speaking of which, someone is occasionally impersonating me on this Blog. I, for no reason, accuse you Ben! Why are people so unkind?
Who is impersonating you, WP? And why? Have they not got better things to do with their time? There are adult education courses at TAFE if they're hard pressed for a hobby.
Ben said...
Gee, you know, I was just making a joke.
And it's taken as one...
Witty Pseudonym said...
That’s cool with me. I was hoping you would fire up though. I was bored and love to rant. For some reason I am especially adept at extreme right wing Denis Leary style facades. Don’t get me started on the ...... fact that we line up at Heathrow customs in the ‘others’ or ‘Africa and Asia’ line, while the French, Italians, and Germans get a nice quick ride through the EU line. The price of a Stella on those hulks on the Themes can grind my gears, although it is quite pleasant in summer, and a nice way for a convict to spend the afternoon. It is a bad decision to do the eye while hung over, as you are locked in that thing for over half an hour. I am indignant (not really) about going out in London and realising they are sick of Australians coming over and living like rats, twenty to a single bedroom apartment and working in bars, so even when you really are just passing through for a few days, you are tarred as another poverty Aussie who will run out of money for a ticket home and get a working visa. Stay away from the Church. I have never been there, but from all accounts it is a cool thing to say to stay away from it. Do go to the cheesy London Dungeon, see through the cheese (use drugs) and freak out about all the evil shit that must have happened. Do not get drunk and harass Bobbies by saying “Go on, say ‘you’re nicked’, go on, gaaaaaarrrrnnn”. They do not like it. Oxford is nice. I will be back there around November for a pint. Don’t think about 28 Days Later, or 28 Weeks Later. Beware, that guy out of Full Monty. Why are you going again Fits? Do not say to catch up with old neighbours cast members. Do you know Brad Kilpatrick? I do. That was ...... tangential. I'm off to buy a l33t shirt online.
You rather seem to be dominating Friday q's this week, WP. I'm not bothered in any way as your responses seem to be somewhat flavourful and besides which you seem to have snuck some queries in right at the end there:
1) I went overseas to chase tail. One in particular.
2) I do know Bradley Kilpatrick, but haven't seen him in years.
ARE WE QUITE FINISHED.

EC,
Here are some tips from a Victorian Tasophile.
My must eats are:
Risby Cove, Strahan - great for a romantic night's accommodation and top food
Fee and Me in Launceston - very pricey degustation
Silverwater in Launceston - lovely food and an excellent deli
Left Bank deli in Swansea - for the coffee and orange chocolate cake
Elephant Pass Pancake Barn - for the experience
Must Stay:
Giants Table Cottages in Maydena - renovated miners' cottages along the road to Gordon Dam (a must see) and at the entry to the Styx Valley (a must see while it's still there)
Kabuki at Swansea - Japanese themed B&B/restaurant on the East Coast
Must See:
Drive the Western Explorer along the West Coast to get down to Zeehan. Camp at Corinna. Complain about the $20 ferry fee.
Drive from Queenstown to Hobart and stop at all the walks you can.
More tips here: http://tinyurl.com/39o7gr
Gracious. I've only just found my way home after a few weeks 'on road' and already I want to bugger off again. What a lovely Taswallian travel portrait you paint there with your words, groverjones. I have no idea what sort of dining experience the mystifying 'Elephant Pass Pancake Barn' would provide, but plan to head there at my earliest convenience for flapjacks and Proboscidea.
Tips well noted and appreciated also:
EC said...
Hey there groverjones, thank you for the tips. I've bookmarked your site so partner & I can spend a second Sunday afternoon lazing about and trip planning.
Happy trails Ms Fits! Have a croissant or three for me.
I had four, actually. But the last one was for someone else.
Peaches said...
You're going overseas? Are you buying carbon credits to offset the (considerable) size of your carbon footprint? Or don't you believe in global warming?
1. Yes.
2. I hadn't really considered this, but it's probably the righteous thing to do given my blatant stomping about and ruining the planet with my tiresomely self-absorbed vacationing. Is there some sort of Carbon Shoo Biz or Grosby's I can visit?
3. Of course I fucking do. What do you take me for, Andrew Bolt?
The Book Grocer said...
Hello,
My questions:
1) Are you aware of reports that red-heads may be extinct within 100 years? What are you doing, IF ANYTHING, to address this forthcoming shortage of Ginge?
2) Laurie Oakes and Kerry O'Brien in a threeway or an hour of passionate tongue-kissing with Vanstone? Which is it to be?
Hello good sir,
1) I have heard tell of such horrific predictions, yes, and put it to my flame-haired paramour that it was probably best we repeatedly at least practice making the wee tangerine babies lest his people die out and we're left in a world sadly bereft of our milky-skinned brothers and sisters. It's the least I can do, really. I hope you're making some sort of significant contribution there too. A telethon might be nice.
2) I'd go Oakes and O'Brien without hesitation. For one thing there doesn't seem to be any kind of set time limit as with the heinous Vanstone scenario, which means the entire thing could be over in a matter of seconds depending on various levels of excitement.
FYI: O'Brien would be 'front'.

"My question for today, and I'm hoping to throw it open to the RYWHM community as well: having just moved to Fitzroy (literally - I moved last Saturday), what are the best places for food shopping? I'd happily shop at a nearby independent, if it exists...I don't have a car so am relying on public transport. I'm also reasonably adventurous when it comes to food, so if there's something a bit unusual out there I would love to know about it too."
There's a superb Korean grocery store on B'wick Street, so I assume it's just near your Fitzroy Street domicile, catbrain. Do check it out. And welcome to Fitzroy!
Yes, welcome to the neighbourhood. Please enjoy this gift basket full of local produce and do join our regular pinochle sessions in the Edinburgh Gardens.

thanks for the t-shirt links fits. i am an uncle-to-be. whilst my brother-in-law insists that THEY DON"T NEED NEW CLOTHES i intend to ignore this edict and purchase the most rockingest duds for the little one.
enjoy the overseas jaunt.
Oh, all babies need new clothes. That's the age where you get to dress them up in whatever ridiculous outfits you like and they're too small to fight back or kick up a fuss. Obviously you'll have to ride out the furious beratings once they're old enough to witness photographs of themselves wearing a bumblebee outfit and afro wig but if they get too shrill you can just send them to their room or beat them with a spade or whatever it is that Jo Frost Supernanny lady recommends.

No deadline, but I suppose I would need an email address.

timoant said...
Love the site... Long time reader, first time writer. As an a proud ex- Canberran -so proud that I left over ten years ago and am never going back- I feel it' s my duty to educate some our your contributors;
Canberran doesn' t have an "i"
"Town" is referred to as Civic
and Burley Griffin has an "e"
Having gotten that stick out of my ass...
Read the advice to the 23 year old moving to Canberra. Basically agree with what everyone wrote. Although, felt recommending Filthy' s in Kingston and Tilley' s in Lyneham(?) wouldn' t be much help unless that the guy is moving to those districts. All the suggestions, quite understandably, were in North or South Canberra which are 23yr. old should pay attention to...
very important.
Spent a couple of months in Canberra 3 years ago and was quite impressed with the bars outside of Civic. But, think if this kid is new to town he' ll probably will and should just stick to Civic and places like; Pheonix, King O' Malley' s and the Uni bar. However, the Uni Bar' s pretty quite late in the evenings and on weekends. What our prospective new Canberran will probably realise quite quickly is that Canberra is quite decentralised and the bars in Civic are no exception. For example, Wig and Pen on the end of Alinga St. down near ANU is a nice enough place where you shouldn 't be able to get into too much trouble. Alternately, if trouble is your middle name, I' ve always enjoyed Civic Pub on Lonsdale St. While it wouldn' t be for those of us who are more of the Champagne Socialists/ Latte drinking da-da set, it does have cheap drinks. Also, everyone is too busy playing pool to beat you up and the big video screen seems to continuously play hilarious 80' s hair metal "classics"
MY GOD BUT THIS BLOG HAS COME OVER ALL LONELY PLANET.
Sorry to offend your ACT sensibilities old bean, but I do tend to make words up to suit my own evil halfwit purposes and thusly words like Canberrian and Taswallian* inveigle their way onto the blog occasionally.
You're on the money with Burley Griffin though. I wouldn't dare fuck with that one.
*I appear to be growing ever more deranged over time. Send help immediately.
CJ said...
I'm glad you pointed out about the whole "JENNIFER CONNOLY MOVIE STAR WHORE / JENNIFER CONNOLY IS A WHORE / JENNIFER CONNOLY WHORE OF MORELAND" etc etc ad bloody nauseum.
Did we ever get to the bottom of that one? I've seen it written about 30 times now, and it's not quirky and curious, it's just stupid. Any idea who/what is the story behind it?
And, I'm guessing you've been around Albert Street lately, to have seen it. Confirm?
We did indeed, CJ. And your question provided me with some much-needed blog fodder though best we leave the issue behind for now though, as it seems our friend Jennifer's rather keen for the entire business to rack in the direction off and leave her alone.
scal said...
Oh, bless her pea-sized brain. It must be tough standing up and remembering to breathe at the same time. I won Miss Rye Gift Under 8 many moons ago and possibly said something along very similar lines when asked a difficult question.
Also I've still got my first-place sash as I am sadly desperate to relive the one and only time I'll ever come first in a beauty contest.
helen hellbound said...
hi fitzy, I've been away filming and just got back to your blog. looking quite spiffy. very nice. on the latest thing I was working on the 1st AD was a lovely guy called Nathan who fessed up to being on the Henderson Kids with you, he said you were still mates. A short but lively discussion followed about your GG stuff and the like. just thought I'd let you know everyone gave yr writing the thumbs up. Even the surley 50yr sound recordist. that aside how far away is your latest tv project from being produced do you think? will you be wearing the producer hat again? (god do you think by saying something positive about you I'll incur the wrath from the latest band of weirdos calling you pussy face and the like? things have morphed a tad since I was last here)...anyway carry on
Hello Helen, and thank ye for kindness.
As for your queries:
1) I am writing a couple of things for the ABC at the moment which will hopefully get up off the ground and be shot sometime in the first half of next year. They are suitably lowbrow.
2) The producer hat is a distinct possibility, depending on the project. I'm not really too fussed about titles so long as I've got the ability to loudly protest casting decisions and sulk when no-one pays me any attention.
3) THAT'S THE RISK YOU TAKE POSTING QUESTIONS ON THIS BLOG, HELLBOUND.

hey what do you think of the new old bar? are the bar staff as feisty? the bands as rockin? the bouncers as smiley? the beer as frothy? what is your prediction for the new regime?
I haven't been yet, I haven't been yet! Is it worth my while? I absolutely loved the old Old Bar even though it baked to oven-like temperatures on any day over twelve degrees. At the very least I hope this mob succeeds as it's a ring-a-ding venue and seeing noisy guitar bands there makes me feel good in my stomach.
Ms Anonymous said...
I will shyly put forth my question:
Do you frequent the forums over at Television Without Pity at all? There is a poster there who is rather snarkalicious in all the right places, and greatly reminds me of you.
I hope your travelling adventures have been/are marvellous!
There's no need to be shy here, Ms. Anon. We are all friends except for those folk who drop by to suggest stabbings and general infliction of beatings upon myself for being an outrageous fuckwad. I know not of your TV forums, I'm afraid. Do I dare introduce yet another interweb distraction to my life? I can't say I missed the computer overly whilst overseas, though I was being kissed on a pretty regular basis which certainly helped fill the time.

I think you should actually take heed of these style tips. Your look is great on a 23-year-old but you're 31 and that's just too old for the girly-girl look. I don't mean to be a meanie but think about changing it now before more people laugh. In just five years time you'll be 36 and then it would just look too, too tragic.
Hey, you're right. I certainly should take heed of style tips from a handful of faceless commenters who most likely have never met me before yet see fit to pass pompous and condescending judgement on my sartorial choices. I deck myself out exactly the way I fancy and if you and yours find me Whitney dressed as Britney then that's your issue to fold into delicate quarters and jam up your butthole, sir or madam.
Anonymous said...
Ah, you're totally cute. Ignore that anonymous freak.
Wait a second, though. What if YOU'RE the anonymous freak and the person who doesn't mean to be a meanie is THE SMARTEST AND MOST ASTUTE PERSON IN THE WORLD? I just don't know who to believe anymore. Perhaps I should just shave my head and wear a burlap sack around town. At the very least I might make some interesting new friends.

Further to our dialogue, I have penned this for you. Well, for other people AND you. See?
Darling girl, anyone would think you were starting to get a SMIDGEN OBSESSED with Bono and his diminishing credibility amongst the more highbrow elements of society*. I do appreciate all the work that's gone into your post and its subsequent inclusion in Duke magazine but I must say that aside from nodding at a couple of the photographs and saying: 'oh look, there's Paul Hewson looking a little less like a twat' my opinion remains unchanged. Let's not talk about it; it only serves to drive a wedge between us. Did I ever mention that I very much like the dwarf in the All I Want Is You video? There, now let's hug.

Ms Fits, I love that red biro underline. Very inventive of your labs, I must say.
Did you enjoy the MWF teev thing? must remember to have a look at it next week.
Yes, Joseph is a very inventive chap and one to be lauded at special technological conventions. But what is the MWF teev thing exactly? I don't doubt that whatever it is or was I thoroughly enjoyed it as I tend to make lemonade wherever I go like some sort of sparkle fairy spreading tra-la and goodtimes.
disillusion anon said...
hi ms fits
firstly, let me apologise for the lack of capital letters in my question. i'm listless and wondering what the point is (of using capital letters, that is).
so, my question. after another very tragic weekend in, i decided to take it upon myself to join an online dating service. i set up what i thought was a not too boring, not too psychotic profile, and did a search for some likely lads with interests in the realm of mine.
after some preliminary contacts, initiated by myself, and by those that had already found my profile, i sent my photos to these gents. i have not heard back from any of them.
am i that hideously unattractive that no one wants to talk to me? are people still that shallow that even though they are attracted to me for my 'words', as soon as they see a picture, they don't even bother to reply with a thanks, but no thanks? should i even bother to continue with the internet dating malarky, or just give up and get myself a cut and back episodes of grey's anatomy?
look forward to hearing what you think, and hope you are having a lovely time overseas too.
cheers
disillusioned anon
Those internet dating sites can be a fucking arse, can they not? I'd implore you not to give up hope as there are some occasionally fine folk lingering amongst the masses who can be sifted out and wooed. Curse those who don't even have the manners to at least mention that their attention has been called elsewhere, leaving you in hand-wringing fits of self-doubt. Miss Audrey has a take on it:
audrey said...
Ms. Fits, if I may field disillusioned anon's question.
DA, as someone who is sadly familiar with internet dating (Adelaide seems to sport a lacklustre crew of gentlemen), allow me to emphatically assure you that it is NOT your fault. My own adventures demonstrate that women who use internet dating are merely responding to the dearth of available men in Australia, while the men who use it are quite obviously mental.
Please don't sentence yourself to a lifetime of medical show repeats because the best that RSVP offers has thus far failed you.
x
I wouldn't say they're all quite obviously mental (according to our friend Keith up there mental illness doesn't exist anyways), but I strongly agree with the 'off the couch and back on the horse' premise and other such mixed metaphors as you can't let a few bad cherries spoil the picnic. Anyway, what's wrong with using Facebook and messandnoise to pick up? They're hotbeds of sinful lusty singleness as far as I'm aware.
Lee Lin Chin said...
Greetings Ms Fits,
Could you please share your thoughts on the proposed costume for this years APEC forum class photo?
...and are you aware of any alternative costumes?
Thank you for reading my question, goodbye.

Sweet, a 'dress up George Bush' doll! I utterly need to get one of these made of me. With regard to your initial query I can only say IS HE STICKING A FORK INTO HIS VERY OWN PENIS and with regard to your final query, no. Although I'm liking the mybrotherskeeper-esque badass tattoo.

I enjoy your amusing columns about tv, and was wondering if you'd indulge me in a spot of nostaligia for the good ol days of kids tv ...
Do you remember Adventures on Kythera?
It was about a group of Australian children having some kind of adventure (as the title suggests) in the Greek Islands. Adults and authority figures were completely absent from the story, as far as I remember.
I've found details on the AFC website (below) but otherwise, nothing.
From memory, it had theme music that was not unlike the sample in Madonna's "Nothing Really Matters".
Year: 1989
Production Company: Media World Pictures Pty Ltd
Exec. Producer: William T Marshall
Producer: Tassos Ioannides
Colin South
John Tatoulis
Director: John Tatoulis
Writer: Deborah Parsons
International Sales: Livewire Film And Television Production
Status: Completed
Duration: 6 x 30 mins
Cast: Garry Prazo, Zenton Dirk, George Lekkas
Does anyone else remember it/have a VHS copy of it?
I've never even heard of it, which is a shameful admission when you consider my passing obsessions with Pugwall and Fatty Finn. It also coincides with possibly the peak of my prepubescent acting career, so I probably gunned for an audition and failed in spectacular fashion and have blocked it from my memory as pain tears me to pieces.
Over to you, fellow RYWHM Children Of The 80's.
timboy said...
Fitsy,
Can you give five reasons why Little Red are not the most overrated band going around at the moment?
Not saying I don't like them (in fact quite the oppostie), but the hype is a tad out of control .
A prominent place on the Meredith line up- they've barely been around for five seconds.
1) They possess a fresh-faced charm and seeing them play live makes one's heart sing. Particularly if one is a pint-sized lady television writer with a penchant for boys in suits.
2) The bit where Quang starts singing 'I could start again' in 'Cry Cry' and any woman under the age of 75 spontaneously dampens her gusset.
3) They're the real deal.
4) Just because some overexcited coolsie from Triple J makes a bit of noise about them hardly makes them hyped.
5) Quang. Did I mention Quang?
QUANG.
************************************
There are more questions, but I'm pretty much unconscious on the keyboard and starting to emit oddly high-pitched wailing noises so I think it's best I go to bed and dream of Cornwall and 80's power duets and the best passport queues ever and finish the rest at a later time. Again I thank you for allowing me my frolics and please to be posting your questions for next Friday in the comments below.
I remain, etc.
54 days til the next election.

PS Grab as much midday sun as possible to overcome jet lag or else read all night. That's fun too.
I have a question that's been bugging me and it's probably full of generalisations, for that I apologise. I also have a cat trying her very best to smother me to death with cuddles, so pardon me if I sound somewhat muffled.
Why is it that guys always go for the 'easy' girls? Why is it that men are intimidated by women who are comfortable with themselves and know what they want out of life? I am getting closer to being that mad old cat lady and I'm not sure I'm too happy about that. Though at least I get plenty of cuddles.
I served in the Army with Brad Kilpatrick and the last I heard he was in Iraq.

Anyway Fits, welcome back! Why did you have to leave your lovely redhead in London?
@ disillusion anon: get back on your pony. Seriously. When you find someone worth it you'll forget about the searching.
@ audrey: Madam, your dating adventures made Milo come out of my nose. But, Lordy, a self-described poet? I've been to 'readings' (for love, for love) and those people are 100% lunatic, even the hot ones. Tell Linley I'd turn for him.
Phew. Howdy Fits! I have put this in a previous comment, but like a redheaded stepchild I won't shut up until I get attention.
http://tbl.squareamerica.com/archives/2007/04/the_way_of_all.html
Does the girl from 1954 look like your time-travelling twin? Or am I mad? At any rate, one site like this balances out 100 Chris Crocker Britney rants, doesn't it?
Hi,
Just annoyed by the recent "anonymous" post, roughly translated as "You look shit but I'm just telling you because I care"
I thought Dame Edna had copyrighted that schtick sometime in the 1970's and anyone with an ounce of humour or irony had given up on it a long, long time ago. But still, I guess if the internet can't provide a sanctuary for the outdated and insincere then what is it good for?
Of course in case the smear was too subtle for us plebs to understand, the unbaptised poster also warned that in 5 years Ms Fits will be (wait for it!) some 5 years older! Difficult to argue with someone with such numerical ability, but I'm willing to bet that - should those calculations prove correct - then in five years Ms Fits will be one damn fine looking 36 y.o regardless of what she's wearing.
Strangely, the unnamed had definite thoughts about another person's fashion, but no thoughts about their personality, their postings, or even their professional work.
It pains me to say it but that just makes Anonymous look hopelessly shallow and sad - but I'm just mentioning it because I care
Welcome home Fits, we're lucky to have you back, just as you are. Rock on.
Speaking of outfits, were you wearing stockings during the last show I saw? (Broken Shore was reviewed)
Say yes, even if you weren't.
Do you like elephants or giraffes more, and why? What is your favourite colour? Token questions complete. I love this blog. Welcome home. I like the way you look and I look the way you like. ......Silence....... whanker (whispered)
Disillusion anon – What are your interests? Do you like stuff? Are you hot? Please send photograph. Sorry, that is not funny, is it?
Fla da Flooda – I hope your name is not connected to the practice of ‘swamping’. A mostly UK term used for when one gets so drunk that they urinate in their sleep. The usual context is, returning home to a sleeping wife or partner and ‘swamping’ her. An example of the most appropriate use of the term, would be in boasting tones to male companions the next day, “Swamped the old girl last night.” This normally gets congratulations from his peers. Disturbed? You should be. So I hope your name has nothing to do with all that. Yes, that is what I hope. So does it?
Ash – sshhhhhh.
Fenz – Gross generalizations follow. Guys go for easy girls, because it is easier. Men are intimidated by women who are comfortable with themselves and know what they want out of life because they want to be the one in control. Can we have a positive spin please Fitsy?
Blood Diamond is showing on AFN again. Nearly blew my cover. Jennifer is great.

Are you going to Meredith?
Wanna hang out? I like big hats, drinking beer and dancing like a crazy person...
USHI!
xx
Peace be with you Ash.
anyway, here comes the punch (minus judy): i have come to the realisation that i may have spent my early/ier years sleepworking.
do u think it possible for one to have slept with open eyes during the day? my night sleep pattern has not altered for some time... unfortunately.
ps i hope this question does not irritate, feel free to disregard if it does. i find the body image questions that you receive annoying to my eyes, and sincerely hope that sleepworking is a concept worthy of your reply.
"Why is it that guys always go for the 'easy' girls? Why is it that men are intimidated by women who are comfortable with themselves and know what they want out of life? "
1. Because we like to stick our doodles in things as soon and as often as possible
2. I'm not, but the ones that know what they want tend to know that they don't want me. Sigh. (Maybe that's what the fellas are worried about.)
Fits, Did you just have a week off from the GG last week, did I miss your article or have they given you the arse?
I'm a big freak, aren't I?
Enough of the rumour. I want facts.
What then regarding pineapple juice and coconut milk?
Over to you Richard?
*cringes waiting for nasty reply regarding my inappropriate audacity, when truly not meant to be derogatory*
Elmo – Achtung Baby? Rattle and Hum is the pinnacle deserving genius masterwork status. A bunch of Irish girls and boys took me to task over my accusations that U2 has turned to cheese (an association that Adam Spencer has often made, that struck a chord). These young hipsters were frightfully offended and insisted upon enduring excellence. I placated by buying beer, apparently in compliance with normal Irish protocol. Do all Irish demographics love U2 unconditionally, and are you Irish Elmo?
I went back to Norway over the weekend.
To go to the birthday of the Norwegian girl I met in July when I was last there.
And I kssed her thoroughly (as thoroughly as she would let me).
And my girlfriend thinks its strange I went without inviting her... (she's the reason that I wasn't able to kiss the Norwegian girl as thoroughly as I would have liked)
Okay, I know that I have to break up with my girlfriend - I have to not be an absolute fuck and have to be fair (as fair as possible at this point) by her. Not just because of the Norwegian girl.
Who I really like.
Should I pursue this? I know she is interested, but she is running warm and cold (cold at the moment) - understandably, because of the way we met; she's worried that I'll do it to her, and she's scared of getting hurt.
If you were in her shoes, would you take the chance? You have to take a chance, even if you are scared...
Am I just chasing her because it's something different? The curent girlf is great, but I just don't think I can give her what she wants...
Do I make the ending swift?
And how do I make the Norge girl realise that the break up isn't down to her - that it was coming anyway (which it was) - but I'd still like her to at least give the possibility of something happening a chance?
Your advice, as always, is much appreciated.
