i'll have to go with what i know and say salami - shockingly, especially to laurie, i know nothing about badfinger! being shot in the shoulder in morocco or being lost in the californian desert? (guess who just watched 'babel'?!)

argh communication - why can't my family just communicate directly with one another instead of all this 'she says that he said that they said...' bull!!! if you want to say something, just say it! don't beat around the bush. don't sugarcoat it in a joke, half in jest, whole in earnest. don't send the message through the grapevine. how many more clichéd idiomatic expressions can i use in this post?! seriously though, i don't understand why people can't just be straight with one another - it's wrecking my head!!!

i just watched 'brick' today - an indie flick which is a throwback to film noir hard boiled detective movies but set in a modern day high school. i thought it was excellent and i really dig joseph gordon-levitt. however, the movie left me with loads of questions, like most of the best ones do!! i had a look around online and even found a discussion forum run by the film's writer-director but there's already been so much discussion, it would take forever to search for the answers to my questions! if anyone here has seen the movie and would be interested in discussing it with me in a spoiler thread i'll start one - let me know!

speaking of the fruit-on-pancakes debate, can i come clean and admit that i absolutely hate pretty much all kinds of fruit, especially bananas! fruit is my kryponite, making it very difficult for me to function as a superhero. fruit on a pancake? i'd rather suck the mucus from a dog's nostrils until its brain caved in!

good thinking edna, i'll check it out, although i'm sure production dates clash with when i'm moving to galway to do my masters! we'll see! christian, here i come!!!

chocolate disgestive biscuits are sweetening my tea. but they're also making a little greasy film at the top of the tea - does chocolate-biscuit-dunking always result in this or is it avoidable?! i've been trying to overcome it by biting the biscuit and then taking a mouthful of tea but it doesn't quite have the same effect. argh, even tea-sweetening represents a dilemma for me!

^ nope, but i am thinking that with all the 'agree?/disagree?' questions it's becoming a little bit like the true or false thread! < my gran's in her 80s and she always jokes about her 'gentleman friends'. i think boyfriend is fine, although i can see why you might feel weird about it. there just doesn't seem to be a better alternative. maybe we should make up a new term? like adult-male-companion! or grown-up boyfriend? or you could just go cork and call him your fella! v can you think of a new term?

ooooooooooooooooh flirtatious!

this is my opinion on the matter - you are 17, you should be having the time of your life, out having fun with your friends, not sitting at home crying over some guy who has the indecency to stand you up three times!! i would be hard pressed to give a guy a second chance, forget about a third and fourth! i understand that your feelings for him are intense and you've probably never felt this way before. but this guy is obviously not 'the one' for you. if you can't rely on him to show up for a date at this stage, how are you supposed to rely on him to love, support and cherish you later on? don't waste your time on this loser - he's clearly not worth the heartache!

actually, she's right. take me and das for instance!

softcore, peaches, softcore! i myself started out on czech beer but quickly moved onto jameson and coke - whiskey and liquid sugar, a double whammy! so i was hungover all day yesterday - yuck! and i wouldn't mind if it had been a good night but it suuuuuuucked! next time, absinthe!

i thought that movie was great and i'm weak for christian bale! he's supposed to be filming a movie with leonardo dicaprio in cork next year - there are three five star hotels in cork - i would find them! but not sure if it's true...

oh wow i was scrolling up from the bottom of the page and though i must have posted in my betrunken state last night! obviously it was peaches!!!

s/s is sick to death of fake people who are so full of it and really don't give a damn about you, until there is nothing else to give a damn about, that is. s/s has had an entirely unsuccessful foray into the world of homosexuality cos apparently she is 'too goodlooking to be gay'. s/s is looking forward to bed, sleep and a bit of time to his/herself.

and i'm loving your homage to das with your signature! to both you and das!

Granted. You're her new cellmate. I wish I could heal my broken foot in magic time.

hee hee hee hee hee! i can't believe you would immortalize that ridiculous argument in avatar-form! now we're at risk of starting it up all over again....!

haha serves me right for refusing to capitalise the acronym and yet insisting on the gramatically correct non-use of an apostrophe! i meant PMs of course!!

ha ha, i was really only messing about the IHOP not being international! but thanks for clearing that up marc! and thanks also for the get well wishes - i'm hoping for the same xo

boom boom crash!

oooooh good thinking, RJ! yum!

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! all i've had to eat or drink today is chocolate digestive biscuits, lemon madeira and tea. not exactly the healthiest of diets!

don't start that again! alcohol, i meant alcohol!

i think we all know what these guys are craving....

sleaze!
