Oh Sleepy I love it!!! He's so cute!! Thank you!
Hey, for Christmas, I will have a stuffed dog which you can put in the microwave for 2 minutes, and then it stays warm for one hour and a half, so that I can put in in my bed with me!! Yes, I'm 23 and I still sleep with stuffed animals, and so what?

hahaha, me too I can't go to sleep if I don't have a stuffed animal to cling to.
hey I want one of those microwave dogs! it does sound cruel, though

Yes, it sounds cruel, ahah But really, you can trust me on this, I would be the last person to be cruel towards a doggy.

[Lote-Tree]

I think that I really deserved all of these happy birthdays,...

I am sure you are Sophie

I hope you did not only write it, but that you also sang it?

I am a terrible singer :-(

I can play a tune for you

I DEMAND that you sing for me.

LOL :-)

Remember Sophie - we English chopped of the king's head for the Demanding and so did your Ancestors

Song can't be demanded Sophie. It has to come from the heart and Heart Sings when it's Free

[Sweets America]

I am sure you are Sophie

Yes I am worth it. I am like you, I am worth being admired and worshiped.

I am a terrible singer :-(

I can play a tune for you

Yeah? I would be happy to hear that, dear Lote.

Remember Sophie - we English chopped of the king's head for the Demanding and so did your Ancestors

Song can't be demanded Sophie. It has to come from the heart and Heart Sings when it's Free

Do you mean you could behead me if I asked for too much?
But...dear Lote, I thought the song would have come from your little heart. Isn't your heart free? Poor little Lote.
I am so sad that you won't sing for me. I'm sure if you had done so, all the women in the world would have been jealous of me. Plus, I could have secretly recorded you and sold the recording to women who would have paid a lot of money for it. Because you are famous, and you are loved, Lote.

[Lote-Tree]

Yes I am worth it. I am like you, I am worth being admired and worshiped.

Worship!!? Lassie by imitationg me you are going beyond me! My God what I have done!!! This thing I unleashed! May God have mercy on my soul :-(

Yeah? I would be happy to hear that, dear Lote.

Sure. Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata (reduced version of course ;-)) or "Titanic" theme?

Do you mean you could behead me if I asked for too much?

I begining to get worried about you Sophie. This Vanity thing is going to your head too much God what I have done :-(

I am so sad that you won't sing for me.

I can't sing lassie. Unless you want a burst ear-drum

I'm sure if you had done so, all the women in the world would have been jealous of me.

Jelousy Lassie, be careful. It's a green-eyed monster. It mocks the flesh it feeds on

So don't go for jealousy

Because you are famous, and you are loved, Lote.

Fame? I would rather have love. That ever-expanding feeling that knows no hate...

[Sweets America]

Worship!!? Lassie by imitationg me you are going beyond me! My God what I have done!!! This thing I unleashed! May God have mercy on my soul :-(

Yes, I know, I am getting worse and worse, Lote!! Please help meeee!! I want to come back to being the Sophie I was before! Lote, the destiny of my soul in between your hands! (now that is scary).

Sure. Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata (reduced version of course ;-)) or "Titanic" theme?

Moonlight Sonata!!! I want that!

I begining to get worried about you Sophie. This Vanity thing is going to your head too much God what I have done :-(

I know.. It's all YOUR fault.
But, I am thinking...since my head is expanding too much, maybe you are right after all, maybe we should behead me. I understand now that your desire to behead me was only an attempt to help me. Oh dear Lote, you are so good, you know?

I can't sing lassie. Unless you want a burst ear-drum

Go for it, it will be ok for my ear drums since I am going to get rid of my head anyway.

Jelousy Lassie, be careful. It's a green-eyed monster. It mocks the flesh it feeds on

So don't go for jealousy

Ok. You are so wise, Lote. I think that while I am becoming like you, you are actually becoming like me.

Fame? I would rather have love. That ever-expanding feeling that knows no hate...

I agree, love is way better than fame.

Ok now I need to go. No train, but I just need to work on my linguistics exam.
See you later, dear Lote, and please do not forget to bring an ax. You know, to behead me.

[Lote-Tree]

Yes, I know, I am getting worse and worse, Lote!! Please help meeee!! I want to come back to being the Sophie I was before!

See Sophie becoming me is a Dangerous Thing Beware

Lote, the destiny of my soul in between your hands! (now that is scary).

There is no need to fear because Lote is here

But, I am thinking...since my head is expanding too much, maybe you are right after all, maybe we should behead me. I understand now that your desire to behead me was only an attempt to help me. Oh dear Lote, you are so good, you know?

Dear sophie you are quite good at this arn't you ;-) You must have an excellent teacher ;-) I would thank him if I was you

Ok. You are so wise, Lote. I think that while I am becoming like you, you are actually becoming like me.

But Sophie I prefer my masculinity. I am after all a macho guy

See you later, dear Lote, and please do not forget to bring an ax. You know, to behead me.

Guilotine is on stand-by! Just in case ;-)
Lets hope we don't have to use it

[Sweets America]

See Sophie becoming me is a Dangerous Thing Beware

Yes, I see, and I hope it's not too late to go back to who I was before. I was such a nice girl before knowing you.
This is the biggest problem with you. At first sight, you seem nice, so people think 'let's be friends with this Lote guy', but after some time, people realize the mistake they have made!

There is no need to fear because Lote is here

This really made me laugh. Now I am wondering if you could have put some drug in my drink so that I would be high and laugh at everything you say.

Dear sophie you are quite good at this arn't you ;-) You must have an excellent teacher ;-) I would thank him if I was you

I know I am good. You will understand, I hope, that I really cannot thank my teacher because I am too scared that his head could expand too much and explode. It would surely be funny on the moment, but after, well, he woud never be able to make me laugh again.

But Sophie I prefer my masculinity. I am after all a macho guy

This is one of those things you really have to struggle against. Being a macho guy is NOT GOOD. You should try to add some gayness to your personality. Then you would not only attract women, but also men. Maybe animals, too. Oh, Lote, you are so popular!

Guilotine is on stand-by! Just in case ;-)
Lets hope we don't have to use it

I wonder, I really wonder if I will be able to get cured before it is too late.

[Lote-Tree]

This is the biggest problem with you. At first sight, you seem nice, so people think 'let's be friends with this Lote guy', but after some time, people realize the mistake they have made!

That's where I am going wrong all these years! I give the people the impression I am nice! Don't worry Sophie I am working very hard to get rid of that nice-ness from me. One day I shall suceed

This really made me laugh. Now I am wondering if you could have put some drug in my drink so that I would be high and laugh at everything you say.

Sophie! Drugs are evil. Stay off drugs!

I know I am good. You will understand, I hope, that I really cannot thank my teacher because I am too scared that his head could expand too much and explode. It would surely be funny on the moment, but after, well, he woud never be able to make me laugh again.

But Sophie - to die laughing would be such a wonderous thing. It is better than dieing and crying

You should try to add some gayness to your personality.

But Sophie - I love women! It is them that keeps me going

Then you would not only attract women, but also men.

Men are so boring Sophie. I prefer the company of women. They will not rip your head off when they lose in a argument and they smell nice

Maybe animals, too.

Animals love me too Sophie I used to own a dog, a cat, a mynah bird, a baby calf, a heron and a bower bird.

But one day my dog accidentally eat rat poison and went mad. His hair fell off and died :-(

Since then I have not owned any pets.

Oh, Lote, you are so popular!

I try my best not to Sophie :-(

[Sweets America]

First, I would like to underline the fact that you used my name 7 times in your message. That must be some kind of proof that you are starting to worship me.

That's where I am going wrong all these years! I give the people the impression I am nice! Don't worry Sophie I am working very hard to get rid of that nice-ness from me. One day I shall suceed

Ah, you still have a lot of work to do, you know, because you still seem nice to me. I hope you will succeed in becoming very mean. In the meantime I wish that you fail. I am sorry, but I think I prefer you the way you are today.

Sophie! Drugs are evil. Stay off drugs!

Well, I had never done drugs BEFORE YOU put this thing in my glass, Lote. Once again, you are trying to accuse me of something that YOU did. I would be so ashamed if I were you, Lote.
Plus, I am sure that you must take some kind of drug as well, because I don't think it could be possible for you to be the way you are WITHOUT drugs being involved in the process.

But Sophie - to die laughing would be such a wonderous thing. It is better than dieing and crying

Well, erm, what almost made me have a heart attack is the way you just spelt 'dying'.
That is not nice of you, Lote, to try to kill me by misspelling words.

But Sophie - I love women! It is them that keeps me going

I know, Lote. Do not worry, women will keep screaming your name.

Men are so boring Sophie. I prefer the company of women. They will not rip your head off when they lose in a argument and they smell nice

Oh, no, I really prefer men. I have always envied friendships between men. I think women can be more judgemental on people's appearance, for instance, they criticize you because of your haircut or your shoes. This is not the case for every woman, of course, but those who are this way just piss me off. Like the other day, in the train, there were two girls, one of them telling the other: 'I wonder how *insert the name of a guy here* can go out with such an ugly girl'. They spent a good deal of their time talking about such things. I just wanted to reply that it might be better to be with an ugly girl than to be with stupid ones like them. Anyway. This is why I prefer guys.

Animals love me too Sophie I used to own a dog, a cat, a mynah bird, a baby calf, a heron and a bower bird.

But one day my dog accidentally eat rat poison and went mad. His hair fell off and died :-(

Since then I have not owned any pets.

Aww, sorry about your dog. I know the pain, I just lost mine and he was my best friend.
You had a baby calf? SO CUTE!
I'm sure your birds where happy with their Lote Tree.

I try my best not to Sophie :-(

I am afraid that it is the story of your life, to be popular. This is the way things are, my poor Lote.

Oh, I am thinking you might like what I am doing in linguistics. I am building Trees with sentences. Those are not Lote Trees, but they are still Trees.

[PrinceMyshkin]

hahaha, me too I can't go to sleep if I don't have a stuffed animal to cling to.

1) Is this an appropriate way to refer to your belovedf Karl-Heinz? and

2) if indeed he is stuffed it is likely because of the verdammte leberwurst and sauerbratten you insist on feeding him!

[Lote-Tree]

First, I would like to underline the fact that you used my name 7 times in your message. That must be some kind of proof that you are starting to worship me.

One has no choice but worship at the door of wisdom ;-)

Ah, you still have a lot of work to do, you know, because you still seem nice to me.

Don't worry it will pass!

I hope you will succeed in becoming very mean.

Yes. Very mean!

I am sorry, but I think I prefer you the way you are today.

I see I have a long way to go.

Plus, I am sure that you must take some kind of drug as well, because I don't think it could be possible for you to be the way you are WITHOUT drugs being involved in the process.

Yep! That Drug is called LOVE!

That is not nice of you, Lote, to try to kill me by misspelling words.

LOL

Now now you know me I can't a spell a thing! ;-) So your death would be accidental

I have always envied friendships between men.

Friendship between men are like two stones in a pod

I think women can be more judgemental on people's appearance,

No doubt! So can men!

Aww, sorry about your dog. I know the pain, I just lost mine and he was my best friend.

No problem it was long time ago.

I'm sure your birds where happy with their Lote Tree.

Always

Oh, I am thinking you might like what I am doing in linguistics. I am building Trees with sentences. Those are not Lote Trees, but they are still Trees.

Whats linguistics with out Lote-Trees ?

[SleepyWitch]

hahahahahaha my so-called Karl-Heinz is as skinny as they come

Sweets, do you do evil Chomsky trees or CGEL trees? or dependency/valency (Tesniere, sp?) trees?
I'm doing CGEL trees with my students these days. Let's set up a linguists club
