  1. thanks ma, glad you approve.
  2. It was not a happy groan that greeted Zupan as he wheeled into his twins room, opened the curtains and then unceremoniously whipped the covers off the bed. “Fucking Jesus shitting Christ!” “Good morning to you too,” Zupan smirked, “You kiss our mother with that mouth?” he knew that it was his fault that his brother felt like he’d been run over by a freight train and then dumped in the sea. Mostly because Zupan had ordered up all the drinks, been really devious about not actually drinking his o
  3. Happy Birthday Croc Lady!
  4. Stephen Hawkins. i would want to introduce him to my husband and watch them geek at each other until the world explodes in knowledge. Does a person's use of bad language (ie swearing) change them in your opinion?
  5. i do it ta make ya happy and frustrated darlin' xx
  6. really unexpected and very cool. i liked the dynamics and i think i learnt something about about USA law and insurance policies too.
  7. “Since when is that acceptable?” Gary could barely contain the rage in his voice as he stared at his son, “At what point did you decide that that was going to be acceptable?” Father and son looked at each other across the kitchen table for a long moment before Hadley turned around and stomped upstairs. He’d should have known. Things between them had been going so well. Hadley sat on his bed and stared at the Honda racing poster on the back of his door. He should have known that his father was j
  8. ladies and gents, this was the reason you should have paid attention in cooking class!
  9. tattoo is goodness and awesome pain. also, prompt started.
  10. not so awesome... I remember getting a cut on my leg when we were on holiday in florida (i was 11) and my dad told me that fles would try and lay eggs in the open wound. we then spent the day at Bok Tower gardens where i freaked out every time a fly landed on me or i felt anything on my leg. i think i've forgiven him...
  11. i am so not even clicking play.... when i see things like this, it's like watching culture eroding...
  12. that sounds really weird..... watermelon plus vodka. much better...
  13. No, I said that I didn't agree with 90% of the video. I. Me. hell, it may be true for some people. but just because someone else calls that reality doesn't mean it is. My point really was that a person can chose to live with the fact that their expectations haven't come to anything, or they can bash about and change their life until reality fits better with what they wanted. i wrote and published online for nearly 9 years before i found a community i liked. and i'm more prolific now i have that community. Hell, i may be the exception that proves the rule, but in a set of communities this wide, i seriously doubt that. My comments about the way the dude in the video dressed were all tied up together, don't quote me by taking them out of content. To finish by quoting Amanda Palmer "Stop pretending art is hard"
  14. happy birthday lion-lady! all our love for you. go have birthday treats and cake!
  15. i disagree with about 90% of that video. Yes - i write on anything i can. I actually wrote my first novel in a place like that, we were on holiday there. there is a community of writers, apparently i am in it. i call it GA and in November, i call it NanoWriMo at the pub. finishing and self publishing is satisfying as fuck. of course he looks like a shit mess, he's a fucking hipster wanna-be "uh i'm a writer even though i never finish anything". anyone shows up looking that unwashed and trying too hard to fit in it gonna get shot. My friend Morgan came to a meet dressed as a gay Aladdin - just for kicks. i wear my cowboy boots to the pub. no one with a brain uses a typewriter anymore. you'd have to make onion-skin copies... terrifying.
  16. i have never broken any food. sorry. i forgot to put sugar in an experimental muffin recipe once and i've burnt sugar on more than one occasion, but no actual disasters NeverSurrender? I believe this would be your topic to shine in my dear...

    “How the fuck did you do that?” Atoki jumped off his seat with a shout, one hand clutching the side of his skull. Vruuaska snarled, long ears flicked right back over his head, tail snapping like a whip. “Ah shit.” Zai, the demon who smiled with acid yellow eyes and who looked remarkably similar to Vruuaska in his other shape, except that his horns were smaller and his fur a flatter sort of grey, sighed and stepped forwards, “Calm the fuck down buddy. He’s an empath.” Atoki felt like someone ha
  22. Bad buskers do not survive in a town where you have a college, two universities and a specialist music academy. we are blessed with talents students trying to make rent.
  23. You, me, cider, Charles St bar.... sounds like a good plan.

    what got to him? you mean besides the nine months of abuse?
  25. right then. Does your job allow it's employees to be "alternative" to any degree? I have some good examples of this. A very posh UK supermarket chain i worked for as a student didn't allow visible tattoos or any piercing that weren't the standard pair. i had to remove my cartilage piercing only weeks after it had been put in and this resulted in infection and split growth cartilage (think weird lump of scar tissue and steroid injections to remove four years later, not fun) A friend of mine works at a school where he must wear a t-shirt under his dress shirt all year round because he has a full tribal back tattoo and the school won't allow hints of it to be seen through his shirt. he might influence the kiddies into a life of drugs and crime apparently... My current school (nameless to protect the guilty) allows tattoos as long as they are not vulgar (ie sexual) as well as a large variety of piercings in it's staff. students are not allowed flesh tunnels more than 10mmm, which i think is plenty. several staff have undercut or half shaved hairstyles, but they don't allow colours, even for staff. So what's it like where you are? did you have to change to work there? have you ever lost a job because you refused to change? do you think it's fair/relevant/appropriate? I have four tattoos, all hide-able if i wish, and fairly normal hair, if rather long. i am getting new ink tomorrow. very excited.
