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.
maybe because he had a knife and you didn't want anyone to get hurted?
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.
lol you told all that by biting it?
Blunt - I didn't die.
Weak - It bent and snapped pretty easily.
And I saw it.
herm...I guess so
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.
that's all that seems to happen in my dreams is the impossible stuff.
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.
so if you were confronted by a man with a knife you'd try and bite the knife?
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.
lol okay then :P
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.
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... :)
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!
Ah, I see! :lol:
I'm glad one of us does!!
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... :)
Mine is mis-pronounced more often than not. Can't remember the last time a stranger got it right.
Yeah, I'm giving my kids super easy names one day :lol: with no funny spelling variations!
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,
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...
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.
Scher is going to give us detention for thread high-jacking...so I'll post a visitor's message :)
This thread can be high-jacked?
Wow.
I've pretty much shredded it then.
Nope, Scher just moved our posts from another thread to this one... :smilewinkgrin:Quote:

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

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.
I started dating them a few months later....
Oh my...um...well, how did it work out? :p
Dated almost a year and broke up with them on graduation.... a success says I!
Are people weird about your name, then?
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
That's it. I am for sure naming my kids something different.
Now I think it's time for sleep...
Well good night!
I'm off to get a pre-lunch snack :D
I like cheese...
Is your favorite gouda?
Brie :)
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:
