The Shred Room II (with extra youth)

Ah, yes!  That would have been cool.

Well, I'm a child of older parents.  I think that's what it is with me - antiquated genes!

Difficult to translate in a nice way, but the penguin does a fairly good job (it's not 100% literal, but it gets the ideas across). Just made my own translation, and it's not half as good.

Penguin edition, Aeneid 12, line 60ish wrote: When Lavinia heard these words of her mother, her burning cheeks were bathed in tears and the deep flush glowed and spread across her face. As when Indian ivory has been stained with blood-red dye, or when white lilies are crowded by roses and take on their red, such were the colours on the maiden's face.

Anyway, just been yelled at a bit, so I'm off.

[/QUOTE I had a friend who used to date one. Completely surreal.   He wasn't very good though. Used to bob his head up and down like Elvis ALL the time, and every time I looked at them hand and hand I wondered if he did that in bed... Gross.

LOL!!   My word, you have a good imagination.  And some friends with odd taste.  First Mozart, now Elvis!

Oh I have weird tastes in guys too, apparently.

It's a bit of both.

People don't like change and therefore a new person meddling in on their clique.

Plus it's me as well.  I don't expect much from my friends but I do expect more than I am currently getting.  I have one friend who I would hang around with more but she's only 14 and she's got lots of friends that she spends all her spare time with.  We do actually get on and talk about stuff but her age is the problem.  I don't fancy her or anything, not at all and she doesn't me either.  I just wish we were closer in age, 'cause then things would be much better.

At the end of the day, I'd rather have a proper friendship with someone, than a girlfriend.  I want to be able to be close to a friend too.  I mean some of them hug but that's it.  All my other friends always seem to be jumping on each other, laying together and all sorts.  It's very peculiar.

Serge Gainsbourg is so perverted it's actually hard to believe he was so popular.

Ahhh, time for bed for me.  Work beckons in the morning. 

Have a good evening everyone!

Evening?  It's gone midnight now.

Take care, Melissa and chat soon.  Don't work too hard.
