Iridescent imaginations for that frisson of excitement

Hi to everyone who's bumping EA's thread, and to EA too. Have a nice week, everybodeee! :)
 
Hello to you too Katze...Wishing you a great week too...:rose: And hello to you as well EA...hope you are back with us soon...

Hugs & Lix!
 
Hi all,

This is a kind of second edition thread. I started a thread a while ago as a way of introduction and it took off like a car thief in a Ferrari (which is way over-rated, an Aston Martin is a far more stylish way to steal) but I feel that the time has come to let that thread slowly drop off the end of the boards and into oblivion. That left me with nothing to do, so I thought I'd start a new thread and see how it developed. Perhaps I should start much in the same way as the last one, with an introduction.

I'm an enthusiastic kind of person, I don't just enjoy life but I lust after it. I race along in it's tumultuous frenzy enjoying all the whirls and turns it offers with a kind of bemused grin. I am a man of mercurial tendencies, given to laugh sometimes and heart wrenching sadness at others. I like to talk, to type, to touch others in some way, and my greatest pleasure is in lightening someone's day just a bit. I'm a swinger although I've never had sex with another woman, and I think life is absurd.

No really, I mean it. Completely utterly and totally mad. We all spend so much time trying to figure out why we're here, and we all get to the end and think "Nope, that made no sense whatsoever". I admire those who have fun and can be hedonistic without hurting others, I once drank WD40 for a bet and my lifetime ambition is to be charged with maliciously impersonating a nun in Rome.

Someone really clever once said that our character is our destiny. If that's true, my destiny is more pointless than a snooker ball. I'm well rounded maybe, but completely pointless. What would your destiny be?

Oh, and someone said I'm a bit wordy sometimes, but I don't see that.

You certainly sound different!
 
Hi everyone,
I need to explain what's gone on in my whirlwind life this past few weeks, so that the fog of frustration clears and we can move on in some semblance of order.

Yes, that includes you two in the back row there, come on, sit up straight now and pay attention.

As I said elsewhere, my friend is going through a sudden and traumatic separation. She is shouting divorce, he is devastated, and I'm not convinced either is thinking clearly. His support network is non-existent so he's been staying with us at the moment and unfortunately has been rather hogging the pc. When I finally do get it back I have to do those little things like keep my company running and so on, so I've had very little time to even visit here. Please accept my sincerest apologies, I never meant to start a thread and then run away, so I shall try my best to address your postings tout-de-suite (which I think is Algerian for beep your candy) and get us all back on track. Not that you were ever off track of course, as I can see you;ve all just got bored long ago and wandered away, muttering under your breath.

So without further ado, let's start with addressing the £8.40 question...
 
If there;s to be a topic then I think it should be one of two things;

1. To do the first one you'll need £8.40, $8.40 or a similar amount in small change in your local currency. For those of you in Zimbabwe, don't bother playing along as you won't be able to afford it by day two. If you want to take part in some online philosophy then we can do this one. No cheating and saying you've got the cash when you haven't really though. I'll expect to see pictorial evidence (or a sworn affadavit from a judge) to prove you can join in.
Incidentally, those things they hang the lifeboats from on a ship are called Davits aren't they? I'll therefore accept anyone who turns in proof of ownership of part of a large ship. Otherwise £8.40 in mixed denominations

Right then, here's how we do this. If you have your £8.40 to hand, I'd like you to arrange it in this way. Every penny (or cent, denarius, kopek, rouble, you choose the currency) represents one month of your life. You can obviously remove the amount for that part of your life you have already lived. For me, at just over 39 years old, I have to remove £4.73. I'll give that to charity, as I've already spent that part.

Now, if we are to live three score years and ten, do I expect to still have an active (honestly active, like climbing mountains or scuba diving or having 4 hours of intense sex) life when I'm 68? No, it's unlikely. To tell the truth, I think everything is likely to slow down after 55, so I have to remove £1.80 and put it in my "slowing down" savings jar.

So if I look at the bank balance of my life, it really has £1.87 left in it. That's all I have left of the £8.40 I was given to start with. Now I have to lay out each of those pennies and think of one thing to do with each one. At least once I've spent them all, I'll have something to look back on and smile.

Yes, I know it's a bit maudlin and philosophical yet I make no apologies for that. Sometimes we need to take a look at ourselves and see if we're just coasting along to the end, or if we are forcing ourselves out of our own comfort zone once in a while. I have talked to a couple of you from here and I know now that at least one of you is burning the body at both ends. How about the rest of you?

How much are you worth, and what would your pennies be spent on? :cattail:

Don't just carry on reading the threads and thinking you'll do it later. Be honest, isn't that what you always do? You're so naughty. It's no wonder you end up getting told off now and again, is it? Come on, go and do the counting thing and put your numbers on the board for us all. I really really want to know what you'd do with one of those pennies.
 
Differences

You certainly sound different!

I'm sure that was a compliment and I thank you for it, but to be honest I'm so similar to most other people that you'd never pick me out of a police line up. I think most of the people we meet have those depths of emotion to them and we just never get to find out about it. I'm off to do a little exploring of some of the thread posters here and we shall see what I dig up.

Thanks, by the way :D

Have fun
 
Hiding? Never

Ha! So you thought you could escape all of us by hiding in another new thread! Think again, EA! We will follow your verbosity wherever you may go. And unlike my dear, handsome Welshman, I will not promise not to rhyme too much. To not do so might cause my brain cells to stagnate, and who would want stagnating brain cells of a sexy feline in a feather boa? lol

Good luck in this new thread. I hope you get the attention of more lovely ladies. But come to think of it, you have a lot on your platter now. Do you think you can handle more? ;)

Have a nice weekend! :rose:

Hi Katze my little hunting kittycat,

I would never hide from all you lovely people, you're all the reasons why I come here in the first place. Don't go changing to try to please me, you've never let me down before....

I just felt the other thread was becoming a bit too insular, and surely we are here to meet new and marvellous people, to intertwine ourselves with them in the minutest way, to make our marks on each other's lives and share our pleasures and heartaches with them? Certainly your story is one that amazes me, not to mention that you have the mental agility of a double jointed gymnast. In fact, I may make a little introduction of my own on this thread for others to realise and appreciate a bit about you. would that be ok?

I couldn't handle any of it to start with, and I'm lucky enough that you don't expect much from me, so whether my platter has plateaued or my dish is deserted I will always make time for the lovely people who've bothered to write on this thread.

See? I can be nice.
 
brighter and lighter, a fighter and writer.....

Hi EA! Hi Everyone!

I could certainly use a little lightening.

Ah Noor, how wonderful to see you again. Do you really need a little lightening? Every time I look at your posts I see someone who questions, who explores, who fights gently and sexily against the mediocre, who doesn't accept or settle for the here and now. Surely it is you who looks over the horizon, who ranges far and wide in search of the new and the interesting, the something more, the extra joie-de-vivre which you can pass on? I certainly get the feeling you're someone who shares and gives almost (but certainly not quite) all you have to give. There are some amazing people on this thread, and I think we probably all admire you.

However if it is a little lighness you need then let me start by asking you not to look at the £8.40 idea. It's a bit dark and something of a wake up call for some people, but you probably don't need that! Why not look at the introductions idea instead? You've been around (Oh dear, did I just say that? What a terrible thing to say. Yes, WE know what we meant but it won't come across like that. She'll think you're referring to her past proclivities rather than her messaging musings and then get irate and send a whole battalion of Irish pygmies over here carrying sawn off toothbrushes to take me out below the kneecaps) on these boards long enough to know who the wonderful ones are. Would you be able to pick out one or two profiles we should all go look at (besides your own of course, because we have already met. Noor- this is everyone, everyone.....this is Noor....see?).

Have fun

;)


Phew, it turns out that Irish pygmies only ever travel in phalanxes, so I'm safe.
 
Yay, someone who reads and inwardly digests....

So, if I am introducing the person above me...that would be Noor.
Please let me introduce you to this stunningly beautiful and sexy women...Noor. She loves chocolate and and silly men, which is probably why she has followed EA to this thread.
She also wishes for world peace and if the Avatar is actually her picture, while I don't want her (LOVE men), I want to BE her. Beside that I love the name Noor. :rose:

Inrhapsody once again leaves me breathless with admiration. Thank you so much, I didn't think anyone would pick up on the idea of introductions, and yet it seemed so obvious to me. What a great intro of Noor, and you let us see a little of yourself too which is what I loved about it. Perhaps I can introduce you now?

Well, here's the thing. I'm going to do it now anyway, even though you haven't said yes. I shall be gentle with you, perhaps very soft and gentle, I shall caress my way down your personality and stroke the back of your ego until you turn and show people how beautiful you are.

Everyone, this is Inrhapsody. On the outside she's very happy and very confident but inside she can be a little shy. I'm sure you already know how smart she is, but she is also terrifically thoughtful and concerned about others. She has a tendency to want to bring out the best in those she meets, and listens attentively to whatever waffle you may want to share with her. What she doesn't know is that when she is just a little uncertain of herself is when she is at her sexiest. She puts pressure on herself to be the best, to be in control, and sometimes she would really like to be in the back seat and letting someone confident and charming come along and disarm her defences before slipping quietly into her heart. If I had to put ten pence on it, I would bet she is absolutely great in bed, but doesn't believe it herself. She works in a position of some authority and yet she has a fantastically irreverant view of life(and of people) sometimes. Her husband is a lucky man, and she loves him very much which means he must be quite the guy. Damn.

Is that ok? It's a little personal, a little too much, and I should definitely have asked your permission first but now it's here and it's too late. Should you wish to sue, please contact my legal team at Yogi & BooBoo's.

Have fun ;)

ROTFLMAO!!!!

Thanks!

You know a phalanx is merely a formation which any battalion is capable of doing.

I would surrender now while you have a chance before a few companies attack in phalanxes from all sides with those sawed off sharpened toothbrushes...

Thanks for the laugh Englishagain, it was certainly lightening :rose:

off to help sharpen things....

She is a sweetie too!
 
Where to begin with the busy bee?

Just stopping by to say hello to everybody here and apologize for my extended absence. Been busy, busy, busy lately. Hope everyone is well....

Hugs & Lix!

Have you noticed the last three or four postings are all from me? (well before Noor's replies) Not to say I missed you guys but WOW I missed you guys. Well, girls....well, guys and girls.....um...people....Oh the heck with it.

You know, one day evolution will look back on this as a defining moment when my DNA was carefully cut out of humanity like one of those clever haircuts that the ghetto kids get with their initials traced into them. I shall be swept up in the great barbershop of creation and tossed casually into the bin marked "stuffing". At last I understand why people always tell me to get stuffed.

Anyway, I started on the introductions idea, and I'm not sure I should stop. Perhaps I could do another intro for seamstryss, as Inrhapsody is probably never going to talk to me again. What do you say, Seamstryss? Do you trust my judgement?

:)

I am blushing...Thank you for the introduction. The fact that you have private knowlegde of me certainly helps. It was kind and gentle and made me look far more attractive then I am. But thank you anyway, started my day out wonderfully. Welcome back, I missed you, as I am sure did most of your other fans. Please don't leave us again.:rose:
 
Seriousness

I could seriously just read your words all day long, EA...tell me, or us, or no one...what is it you'd like to pontificate about? You obviously start these wonderful threads to find something? I take it you haven't found it yet. If nothing else, I offer the gift (yes, I said gift!) of my friendship. I am not as wordy as you, but I'm a quick wit, and a sarcastic mind. So if you really are still looking for a friend, I would love to be one!

Wings27, hello my lovely, how are you? I thought you'd deserted us all. How nice to see you again. Sorry for my prolonged absence, I've been doing the whole "a friend in knees is a friend in deed" thing, but I've checked the deeds and I'm not even mentioned. Dang it.

What am I looking for? I think I am looking for some human contact that isn't grasping, money grabbing, get one over on everyone else, materialistic, self centred and short term, but I don't have strong views! Truth to tell, I'm not really sure what I'm looking for, but friendship is certainly part of it. Yes, your friendship would be a gift, as is anyone who gives enough of themselves to another, but what gives you the idea that I am wordy? Pft. Piffle. Hogwash. Tish and Pish. What a lot of rot.

(was that believable? Even a little bit? Go on, I can take it, be honest.)

Anyway, I must be off, apparently droves of guinness swilling little green men have been spotted trying to pole vault across the irish sea with what looks like toothpicks. Have fun xx
 
Whoops, I had missed your post Sunday about your friend. Glad to see you were able to get some time in on the ole PC there this morning. It's too early for math :confused:, but I'll see about getting to that change thing. No, honest!

Best wishes for you and your friend. That D word is.. mucky!
 
------

That might be the best post I've ever read! You sound like a man after my own heart. And yes, you may be "inebriated with the exhuberance of your own verbosity," as Benjamin Disraeli once said, but all the better for it. :)

Well, what a compliment that was! I'm not after your heart though, well, not unless your blood type is O-neg and we get a full tissue cross match. Yes, it seems that I do get involved in my own words and end up in conversational convolutions that leave the casual bystander horrified and feeling like they've just witnessed a multi-verbal pile up, what amazes me is how many of you linguistic voyeurs there are out there. You think I don't see you lurking, but I see you now, sheathed in the shadows of the ether; hovering like the ghost in the machine, eagerly salivating as you wait for the textual tragedy of the next posting.

I suppose I can't criticise though, it's nice that you've got a hobby. Stops you getting into trouble and playing with those nasty boys over on the next street....

Have fun
 
Oh, apropos of nothing, I feel really sexy today too. I guess it's being back on here and seeing all you lovely ladies again.
Not that I'm not seeing the gents, it's just that y'all don't make me feel sexy. No, I'm not commenting on your weight. No, honestly your bum doesn't look big in that. No, there's no one else, I promise.. Oh I knew this wouldn't go well. Look, the ladies do it for me, the guys do it for the ladies, and that's that.
Ow!
Watch out for the pygmies!

Welcome back to you EA!!!! Now isn't that a silly question..do I trust your judgement? I can't wait to see what you do with that wealth of information you know about me....teeheehee....

Hugs & Lix!
 
To all, an introduction

Welcome back to you EA!!!! Now isn't that a silly question..do I trust your judgement? I can't wait to see what you do with that wealth of information you know about me....teeheehee....

Hugs & Lix!

Ah, foolish gel, 'tis all a front for me devilish ways, dontcha know? So an introduction of you to everyone else? I shall try my best, if not my hardest, but don't expect anything special.

Hi everyone, where to start with the Seamstryss? Of course on a site like Lit it should be all about her sexual proclivities, but that would be trite and superficial. From what I know, she fills her days in frenetic bursts of activity all of which seems to centre around other people and sensory overloads. She is certainly tactile, given to appreciation of the feel of life as much as the look of it, and on the surface is hedonistic and carnal. Beneath that I believe there's a generous woman with a defiant streak in her, a woman who refuses to go softly to the end of each day but instead thumbs her nose at the decay and decrepitude of daily life. She pours forth a stream of consciousness with every post, hiding little of her thoughts and exposing her heart to us with each word. She is more than a passer by in our days, she is creative, warm, funny, whimsical and occasionally completely bonkers, and everything she does seems to be full on, wind rushing in your ears, doppler effect as she dances through your day. Still, I feel she throws down that challenge in her signature in the vain hope that someone will realise she's just a tiny bit lonely occasionally and send her a little something to make her smile. Try it, it could be you.

Have fun :D

Do you see how it works? I ask you to do this thing, this one thing for me, and you promise you will and then you don't.

you don't respect me.

My mother said I should never have got involved with you.

It's always about the money, isn't it? you just can't see beyond it. When will you realise that I'm not interested in your wallet, that your bank balance doesn't do it for me? I didn't want to see your money so I could get my hands on it. I thought we had something. Something special. Something precious. I thought we could have made something together that would be greater than the sum of its parts, but no. you made me a promise then broke it, dashed to smithereens on the granite of your casual contempt.

Not that I'm one for dramatics.

Lol, thanks, I hope my friend gets sorted soon too. He's really intelligent, really good at what he does, apparently loves going out and having fun, yet he has the emotional maturity of a stump. I never realised. Funny how we don't know people, isn't it? I have to take him out this weekend and fix him up with someone, someone who will flirt mercilessly with him, build up his self esteem a little. It's a hard job, but someone's gotta do it.

Have fun
 
Synergy, that's the word I was trying to think of. Too little too late I guess.

(Looks around to make sure EA isn't peering through the windows at me....)

Well my friend, it certainly looks like you have paid attention...Feeling a bit exposed at the moment (not that it is necessarily a bad thing..wink,wink)...I am sure I even blushed (yes, ME blushed a bit) when I read your introduction (but shhh don't tell anybody, I do have an image to uphold here)...Still glad to see you back in all your glory...

Hgus & Lix!
 
Right then, here's how we do this. If you have your £8.40 to hand, I'd like you to arrange it in this way. Every penny (or cent, denarius, kopek, rouble, you choose the currency) represents one month of your life. You can obviously remove the amount for that part of your life you have already lived. For me, at just over 39 years old, I have to remove £4.73. I'll give that to charity, as I've already spent that part.

No, it's unlikely. To tell the truth, I think everything is likely to slow down after 55, so I have to remove £1.80 and put it in my "slowing down" savings jar.

Yes, I know it's a bit maudlin and philosophical yet I make no apologies for that. Sometimes we need to take a look at ourselves and see if we're just coasting along to the end, or if we are forcing ourselves out of our own comfort zone once in a while. I have talked to a couple of you from here and I know now that at least one of you is burning the body at both ends. How about the rest of you?

How much are you worth, and what would your pennies be spent on? :cattail:


All right I'll bite! (no really, I bite) At ALMOST 28 years old, I'll have to remove 332 pennies, which, may I say have been the best pennies EVER.

That leaves me with 508 to live my long, long life. Since I plan on being active until the day that I die, that's many pennies to spend,

508 expiriences, 508 memories to make, 508 reasons to laugh and smile. I can't possibly think of anything better. In fact, I look forward to it. I do push my body to the limit, and I do things that often make OTHERS uncomfortable, and occasionally myself. But more often than not they turn in to the best moments of life.

I enjoyed this exercise immensely. Thank you, Mr. EA!
