[Heathcliff]

It wasn't that weird.

It was a weird situation, and apart from biting the knife after pressing it against my cheek whilst running backwards and smiling evily, and that soccer team talk, it was pretty natural.

I don't know why we didn't just, all of us, jump the angry police officer.

It wouldn't have been hard.

[Indyben]

maybe because he had a knife and you didn't want anyone to get hurted?

[Heathcliff]

I think I was just trying to be smart.

I don't know why I wasn't scared.

It looked more like a metal popsicle stick with a pointy edge rather than a knife.
It was really blunt and it bent esily, just like solder, but perhaps a little harder.

[Indyben]

lol you told all that by biting it?

[Heathcliff]

Blunt - I didn't die.
Weak - It bent and snapped pretty easily.
And I saw it.

[Indyben]

herm...I guess so

[Heathcliff]

Hehehe and it is my dream.
So it could have been made out of icecream!!

Oddly enough, there is never anything that 'impossible' in my dreams.

[Indyben]

that's all that seems to happen in my dreams is the impossible stuff.

[Heathcliff]

For me it is all real.

So, things like flying, swimming underwater for hours, nah.

I still think you do in dreams whatever your subconcious would do in that situation.
Half the time, despite all being possible, these are situations that rarely occur.
So it is always interesting.

[Indyben]

so if you were confronted by a man with a knife you'd try and bite the knife?

[Heathcliff]

If I was confronted by a popsicle stick made out of solder, then probably.

I'd just do the running away part, for the knife.

[Indyben]

lol okay then :P

[dafydd manton]

Ah! Curses! Back to the violin and the the pipe! By the way, Anwen isn't German, or at least, she wasn't this morning. 'Tis Welsh.

[TurquoiseSunset]

Ah, so are you both Welsh? I thought she was German, because you lived in Germany and it sounds very like a Afrikaans/Dutch/German kind of name... :)

[dafydd manton]

To be honest, it was just a bit of messing about when she illlustrated one of my books. She is a actually Ann......WITHOUT AN E!!! Apparently, these things are important!

[TurquoiseSunset]

Ah, I see! :lol:

[dafydd manton]

I'm glad one of us does!!

[TurquoiseSunset]

Actually, Red Fairy (she's on this forum but a lurker) is a friend and colleague and she's always going on about it being Ann, WITHOUT THE E!!! Plus, my name's almost always spelt incorrectly too...sigh... :)

[dafydd manton]

Mine is mis-pronounced more often than not. Can't remember the last time a stranger got it right.

[TurquoiseSunset]

Yeah, I'm giving my kids super easy names one day :lol: with no funny spelling variations!

[dafydd manton]

Hw very wise. Mind you, we got caught out. My eldest daughter is Vicky, and registered as such, but various school teachers tried to call her Victoria, since Vicky (they said) is a shortening. Wrong! Net result, one very irate child,

[TurquoiseSunset]

Ah man, that sucks. That's another thing, I will also consider all the abbreviations and nick names that could arise from a child's name. I've heard seriously unfortunate ones...

[dafydd manton]

You can still get caught. My mother wanted to give me the middle name Ieuan, therefore DIM. Bad enough in English, but the word "dim" means "nothing", in Welsh.

[TurquoiseSunset]

Scher is going to give us detention for thread high-jacking...so I'll post a visitor's message :)

[Heathcliff]

This thread can be high-jacked?
Wow.
I've pretty much shredded it then.

[TurquoiseSunset]

Nope, Scher just moved our posts from another thread to this one... :smilewinkgrin:

[Genocide]

Don't give your kids normal names! I might dislike having my name spelled in weird ways but it's always a conversation starter. "Oh, like the band/Bible/system/make up/whatever?" it shows you what kind of person you're talking to.

[TurquoiseSunset]

it shows you what kind of person you're talking to.

How does it do that? My name doesn't say who I am...

[Genocide]

It shows who the person you're talking to is. Sorry about that. The reaction they have to your name is often the way you know if this new friendship is going to work out. If they say your name sounds "daft" you know you have a problem...

[TurquoiseSunset]

Oh, I get it... Well, I think if someone was as tasteless as that it would only be a matter of mere minutes before you would realise their friendship isn't worth it anyway,without them having to insult your name, hehehe.

[Genocide]

I started dating them a few months later....

[TurquoiseSunset]

Oh my...um...well, how did it work out? :p

[Genocide]

Dated almost a year and broke up with them on graduation.... a success says I!

Are people weird about your name, then?

[TurquoiseSunset]

No, not really...I don't come across people with my name often, but it's still well known. I guess, it's because there was a famous South African with the same name. No, it's not Charlize :p

The only trouble I have with my name is that people spell it wrong. That goes for my name and surname. I don't mind so much when people from other races get them wrong though, because my surname especially is very Afrikaans (Dutch). My name is Hebrew originally...but very simple actually. Only five letters :D

[Genocide]

That's it. I am for sure naming my kids something different.

Now I think it's time for sleep...

[TurquoiseSunset]

Well good night!

I'm off to get a pre-lunch snack :D

[Indyben]

I like cheese...

[Genocide]

Is your favorite gouda?

[Indyben]

Brie :)

[Heathcliff]

Kewl. I like bocancini because my grandpa always gave it to us. Teehee. Whilst waiting for the bus (for the first time in my life) I saw an orange balloon rustling down the busy street. It made my day. My brother said it would make his day if it popped and it did. Then there was a purple one and it didn't pop. Now i'm happy. :nod:

[Indyben]

:lol: Balloons are cool, the orange one you gave me is still alive :)

[Heathcliff]

Yea, I was thinking about the one I gave you when I saw it.

Then I looked around to see if you were there.

Teehee.

[Indyben]

I don't read much...which is strange because I like it...I have a short attention span...ooh a squirrel!

[Genocide]

Did not know that. Thank you for that helpful piece of information.

[kingoflombards]

:thumbsup:I'm back!!!!!

What'd I miss?

[Maryd.]

The prodigal son returns...

Lot's of new faces, some old but always good to see you...
Mwah

[Indyben]

Welcome Back Kingoflombards. I are Indy-a new face :)

[TurquoiseSunset]

Hey peeps, long time no see. :wave:

[Indyben]

the derpy is very derpy

[iamnobody]

So, this live chat thing...doesn't seem very lively

[OrphanPip]

I'd pretty much forgotten it existed.

[iamnobody]

Well I haven't been here long so IT'S NEW TO ME! and Hi there

Have to add I love your avatar. I haven't seen Labyrinth in years but I think I still know all the songs

[OrphanPip]

Ha, I moonlight as David Bowie's stalker.

[iamnobody]

any one want to chat

[Indyben]

Wow nothing much has changed since I was last on...which was MONTHS ago

[Maryd.]

Yes 'tis rather quiet these days... :sleep::smilielol5::smilielol5:

[BienvenuJDC]

Hello. Good looking!

[Maryd.]

Hey Bien, you need glasses. Hahaha

[OrphanPip]

*sigh*

My budgie died tonight. Well technically it was my mother's budgie, since I bought it for her birthday several years ago (she had budgies as a little girl). Although, the care of the little fellow still fell on me entirely, so I might as well call him mine. You really do get attached to the little guys.

I think I'm done with small short-lived pets, I had to give up rescuing rats from the shelter because of that.

Sorry to hear about you budgie... Like us. My son's budgie died, only a month or so ago, so I understand... I'm a sucker for furry little friends though. So no more birds for us. On dog, cat and bird eating spider is enough.
RIP to your little buddy.

Thanks Mary, the attachment to the little guys creeps up on you.

Yes... I usually spend my days writing and editing. We had our little girl in then house and so I thought the noise was so annoying... Now... :( during the day when I work the house is empty and the silence is murder. :(

Haha, reminds me that when I used to work with exotic birds, we would wear ear plugs in the large bird room because of the noise, there's nothing quite like 5 cockatoos screaming in tandem. By comparison, the mild chirping and banging of a budgie is sweet music.

Yes sir. At least my dog keeps me on my toes. I would love to work with animals... Not birds. I am not keen on to much noise. :)

[OrphanPip]

I far prefer dogs too, and not just because of the noise, I'm also allergic to birds :(.

[Maryd.]

Never mind. Get a fluffy King Charles Cavalier... The most sweetest dogs ever. They are like the saints of all dogs. All they want is love and affection. I always tell people, be careful, my girl is a killer. She'll love you to death... :ladysman:

Haha, well I've been dogless for about a year now. I think I need a more stable and established home before I invest in a new dog. I barely know what I'll be doing next year so it's not the best time to embark on that big a commitment.

Edit: In the meantime I've got my cat for company.

Yes, I alwaya advise people not to get a dog until they are stable enough for them... You know the old saying - "Can't teach an old dog new tricks" It's a true statement. A dog needs routine and stability. Not to mention lot's of attention. Cat's are a lot easier... So long as they are fed and warm, they're happy. :)

Okay, I have a book I'm working on (and some Novellas) and want some creative criticism on these works. Where on the forums would be the best place to post them?

You may be right.

We need a guest speaker.

[Pensive]

I have a pocket full of dreams to sell. What do you lack? What do you lack? A dream of success, a dream of adventure, a dream of the sea, a dream of the wood-land - any kind of dream you want at reasonable prices, including one or two unique little nightmares. What will you give me for a dream? :D

[Brock]

Well. Well> well, who's drinking wine? I'm drinking wine. I like wine.

[JuniperWoolf]

I like wine, but I have no wine. *whine*

[OrphanPip]

I've got a bottle of white that has been hanging around for a few months, I guess I could pop the cork.

[Silas Thorne]

I've almost finished the cheap Merlot I bought this evening to drink with my pasta. Pop the cork! :)

[JuniperWoolf]

I like cheap $7 fruit-flavoured wines, like Boone's.

[Niamh]

Wine would be nice right now...

[JuniperWoolf]

I have a gross little cooler in the fridge right now called "Woody's Cream Soda." I bought it because I have a friend named Woody and I like cream soda, but it tastes like cherry cough syrup.

...Eh, I guess I'll drink it anyway.

[papayahed]

I should totally be reading my draft air permit right now but dangie this seems more important.

[JuniperWoolf]

What's an air permit for?

[papayahed]

What's an air permit for?


It puts rules on what/how we run the plant.

This is unpopular but we pollute, the permit buts restrictions on how much we pollute.

[JuniperWoolf]

Damn, I thought it was like a pilot's license.

Environmentalists come to my town sometimes. They don't like the blast mining.

[papayahed]

Damn, I thought it was like a pilot's license.



Now that would be cool!!
