b-b-but I like using English slang. It makes me feel slightly English, and thus I feel cultured.

You're right, this is a far more civilised place than the US. You've got a trashy, hyper-sexualised, tabloid popular culture that treats the public with contempt, and a crazy, far-right political consensus encompassing both major parties which has declared war on the working class over the last 30 years and restored a 1920s era distribution of wealth. By way of contrast, over here, we have, uh...

Don't do yourselves down, Herman Melville, Sylvia Plath, Ornette Coleman, Martin Scorsese and the Sopranos a fine heritage make (haven't got started on The Wire yet).

You're close enough to walk. Obviously you win. *sex*

Cool, I like winning--just let me know which weekend works for you. *stocks up on vitamins, hits the gym*

I spent two weeks in London earlier this year--I had a lot of fun, but I see what you mean.

 

[AtFirstSight]

If you want to come to England, I'll willingly teach you some more slang

and youve just taken my post virginity!

I've never done a virgin

Sylvia Plath committed suicide...

But do you spell words with extra u's in them?

 

[AtFirstSight]

No..color only has o's.

Come sleep with me and keep me warm and cuddly.

 

[EndCredits]

You don't have to tell me twice.

I feel completely English, cultured? I'm not sure . . .

Exactly!

 

[MacGuffinn]

Ever see Wuthering Heights in semafore?

 

[Street Dog]

Sylvia Plath committed suicide...

Meh, it's part of the job description for any great writer to live and die in a state of wretched, agonised self-loathing. Besides which, I would have totally done her.

She was very pretty. Her poem about cutting her thumb was kind of odd, though. And I mean odd as in..they should've known she was suicidal after that poem.

 

[AtFirstSight]

I have

 

[AtFirstSight]

You don't have to tell me twice.

That's what you say. But where were you?

Men and their empty promises.

There's an American psychologist called Kay Redfield Jamison who has written extensively about the relationship between artistic creativity and bipolar/ manic depression, particularly among poets. It's the highs and lows they experience that go a long way toward making them great artists and not just run-of-the-mill people. What I'm saying is, I don't think you could have taken that out of Sylvia Plath and still have had a great poet left. Jamison herself is bipolar and has done landmark work in her field, and she's said that she's quite prepared to accept the instability and the creativity that comes with it rather than restrain it.

Hi gorgeous

Just dropping by and saying HI

Katie

Yeah, well "next door" isn't your real location, you lying liar. I'll bet your pants are on fire, too.

I understood her pants to be on fire already from previous posts.

She's certainly not next door to me, and definitely not in the house opposite.

That makes a lot of sense. Many historians think that Abe Lincoln may have been bipolar.

Only because my ass is so hot.

 

[Street Dog]

Only because my ass is so hot.

I warned you about eating that spicy curry.

 

[rootsfan]

Only because my ass is so hot.

Already? I haven't even spanked it yet.

 

[AtFirstSight]

I warned you about eating that spicy curry.

#1 Ew
#2 I do not eat curry. Especially spicy curry.

 

[AtFirstSight]

Already? I haven't even spanked it yet.

Just thinking about you gets me going.
