[English Lady]

I am having a totally crappy day. I feel fat, ugly and too damn hot.


Anyhow I am calling for sympathy! but as this is the Authors Hangout....give me some literary sympathy. *chuckles* Quotes,your own writing what ever. Just please help EL get her smile back!


Thanks!

here, love:

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)

There's no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you.
Will Rogers (1879 - 1935)

Does it really matter what these affectionate people do-- so long as they don’t do it in the streets and frighten the horses!
Mrs. Patrick Campbell

Cheer up, sweetie!

Swedish saying: "Taste is different. Hence, all food will be eaten, and all girls will be married."

I'm weighing almost twice as much as I should, but hey, atleast I match the ideal in most African countries!

I even had a few African galpals once, who told me that they had serious problems finding boyfriends back home, because "the fat gals got all the guys!"

According to this ideal, you're not fat, ugly and hot, you're voluptious, sexy and warmed up.

 

[Colleen Thomas]

Nothing literary from me El. Just a note about fat & ugly. I consider myself a pretty good judge of feminine beauty, and despite being overly flirtacious here at the hang out, I am pretty finicky about whom I would invite to my bed.

Perhaps something a litttle literary after all, if only in a pop culture way, but you can eat crackers in my bed anyday

[English Lady]

Aww *chuckles* I feel much better already

Cloudy..I love the positive attitude quote..fantastic*l*

Svenskaflicka..thank you...I usually feel fairly sexy being this big but occassionally I have an off day!Today was one of them up till now...but your quote and encouragement have helped loads

And Colleen..well you've just made me blush *bright pink* thank you very much!

 

[Randi Grail]

Hey, Lady! I have no literary wisdom to share. How about a nice, juicy ?

 

[shereads]

Fishing for compliments when you know you're sexy as hell. For shame!

 

[shereads]

You're right about the heat, though. I don't know about where you are, but here we hate to see summer arrive. The rainy season begins, slowly at first and then non-stop, and the mosquitos hatch out and wait for you in the foot of your car, and they don't bite until you're driving. Then they go directly for the ankles. Do you have mosquitos in Britain?

 

[English Lady]

Aww Thanks Randi.... juicy kisses always make things seem better


Shreads you saw right through me (Oh if only I were THAT confident about myself eh?) thanks for the compliment.

We don't have mosquitoes as such I don't think but we do have Midges. They're tiny fly things that when they bite you leave a little pinky red lump. Apparently only the female ones bite. Nasty bitches*L*

I don't deal with heat very well, I'm very pale skinned so I have to drown myself in high factor sun lotion or I burn, I sweat like billy-o and I wear little clothing and I feel like my flab is exposed...if I cover up though I sweat and swelter. I can't win. *L*

 

[cantdog]

Poor Billy-o. I wonder how come we all pick on the man?

Do you suppose he was Willem of Orange?

cantdog

 

[English Lady]

Wll it only follows form his initials that he'd sweat alot.

And I'm a woman..i'm programmed to pick on men at all possible opportunities.

 

[Svenskaflicka]

Men love to get picked on. My friend M is plain evil to men, and they adore her for it. I've given up being sweet and understanding, because that sort of behaviour only makes people step all over you. I'm working hard to become a cold-hearted bitch, that everyone will adore and obey.


The second bit is what I'm after, really.

 

[English Lady]

I could do with being adored and obeyed.

I don't think I can do the cold bitch thing though.

it could be fun trying I guess.

Shakespeare on beauty (nothing to do with pounds or stones):

"Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night." - Rom & Jul, Act i. Sc.5

"O, beauty, till now I never knew thee!" - Henry VIII, Act i, Sc.4

"Thou art as wise as thou art beautiful" - Mid N Dr, Act iii, Sc.1

and a special tribute:

"Woman will love her, that she is a woman more worth than any man; men, that she is the rarest of all women" - Win Tale, Act v, Sc.1

Those were easy, Lady. I've appreciated your inner and outer beauty many a time here, still do, always will.

[English Lady]

Cheers Perdita...you always manage to make me smile


I don't feel so Bah now....in fact each time I come back to look at this thread I feel better and better and even better

 

[cookiejar]

Cheer up EL...I think you are extra special.


English lady, a beautiful rose
Her true beauty, it just glows
a shining star
I admire from afar
And I love when she strips off her clothes.


Now EL she got in the rum
And decided to show off her bum
she shocked the queen
made quite a scene
Who says the Brits are hum drum!

 

[SnoopDog]

'I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me, but it's hard to be angry when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes, I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and I can't take it. My heart swells up like a balloon that's about to burst. But then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold onto it. And then, it flows through me like rain and I feel nothing but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life. You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry. You will someday. '

- Lester Burnham

Snoopy, hoping it helped a little. (it helped me once)

 

[English Lady]

Thank you Cookie I'm honoured! *grins* And I do have a bit of a liking for rum


Snoop...thanks alot, thats a beautiful little quote *S* Life is beautiful!

 

[Guest]

Yep. It's been way too hot the past a few days. Ice is melting!!!

"Truth! We all knew the truth but we insisted on distorting things to make it seem like we were all, with each other, in such profound disagreement about everything - that first and foremost there are two sides to everything, when of course there were not; there was one side only, one side always: Just as this earth is round, the truth is round, not two-sided but round and - "
[size=0.5]from You Shall Know Our Velocity by David Eggers[/size]

Like the good man says, the truth is round.

 

[English Lady]

So does that make you LukeWarm Vodka now? Oh just Not -So -Chilled Vodka?

 

[Guest]

"Heightened awareness, excitement, ecstasy - everything that distinguishes prophets, poets, martyrs to an idea, from ordinary people is hostile to man's animal side - I mean, his physical health. I repeat: if you want to be healthy and normal, go and join the herd."
[size=0.5]from The Black Monk by Anton Chekhov[/size]

No. I'm just cool.

 

[Guest]

No. I'm just cool.

Quoting Chekhov, you really are. P.

p.s. Have you read all 14+ volumes of his stories?

 

[Guest]

I can't say I read them all. Not much into his plays either.

 

[English Lady]

Cool Vodka.....lovely.


Oh and now there is a party going on next door. A LOUD party with lots of screeching scouse women. Have you heard a scouse woman screech? it's not pretty.
