Rea | 1992 comments Mod
I wonder who the hell your Twitter stalker is!


message 302: by Char (new)

Char (CharmaineElaine) I don't know. But I'm scared. Not even Tom is helping. That's bad.


message 303: by Rea, Ghost (new)

Rea | 1992 comments Mod
Shall I attempt to come to your rescue?


message 304: by Char (new)

Char (CharmaineElaine) Yes please.


message 305: by Rea, Ghost (new)

Rea | 1992 comments Mod
My own special brand of fixing anything! :p


message 306: by Char (new)

Char (CharmaineElaine) Lol. Awesome. XD

He's now said he was joking but I've unfollowed him because I'm scared.

I used to get stalked around town, so whenever they spoke to me I'd tell them I had a wife! I had a plain gold ring that could easily fit on that finger and everything! :p

He did seem a little... weird.


message 308: by Char (new)

Char (CharmaineElaine) Wow! That's so cool, I'm not sure that a wedding ring would work on Twitter though. Did they stop stalking you?

He did... but I was trying to be nice. My mum always says I'm too nice for my own good.


message 309: by Rea, Ghost (new)

Rea | 1992 comments Mod
I'm not sure it would either, but it had enough of an effect in real life to leave them stunned long enough for me to run off trying to keep my shoulders from shaking with laughter! It only took once per guy. Unfortunately there were a lot of guys that it had to be used on.

Ah yes, I see your problem. My mum says I'm too patient. Which is funny because I'm often really impatient!


message 310: by Char (new)

Char (CharmaineElaine) Fair enough. Hahaha, you had lots of stalkers. You're a popular girl. Well at least it worked.

Yes, really? I don't think I'm too nice either but my mum assures me that I'm a doormat.


message 311: by Rea, Ghost (new)

Rea | 1992 comments Mod
I did! I still get people leering at me but at least they don't follow me around town. I think it's the blonde hair / blue eyes / actual boobs combo that's just irresistable. That's what I figure too. Now I often have Arie there to dissuade their advances.

Funny how we view our personalities in a very different manner to how our parents view them!


message 312: by Char (new)

Char (CharmaineElaine) Well that's something. I guess so. I guess it is, I don't have that excuse I have brown hair/brown eyes/and actual boobs. Yay for Arie! I need a guy... or a girl. I don't mind being a lesbian.

I know. It's a matter of who knows us better or rather who thinks they know us better.


message 313: by Rea, Ghost (new)

Rea | 1992 comments Mod
It makes me feel more relaxed. Being stalked is not fun. Blonde hair / blue eyes is really exotic for the type of people I seem to attract most often (read: middle eastern origin). Being a lesbian was fun. My best friend shared in the deception. We had to get pretty intimate once. Good job we were so comfortable with each other!

I think it's always good to trust an outside perspective.


message 314: by Char (new)

Char (CharmaineElaine) I can see why she would. I've gathered that from my Twitter stalking experience. Aaaah. That makes sense. I bet it was. At least your best friend was willing to help out. HAHAHAHA! Is it one of those things you giggle about? It would be if it was me.

I do too, do I scream doormat to you?


message 315: by Rea, Ghost (new)

Rea | 1992 comments Mod
Yes, my friend and I had endless giggles about it afterwards. You have to when you practically end up snogging each other to try to get away from a guy!

Not really. Not bitchy but not doormat. But then I only see your interactions over the net so I don't see how you interact with someone bearing down on you.


message 316: by Char (new)

Char (CharmaineElaine) Haha, I guess you do. Practically snogging. As a guy I'd have been practically salivating. (Don't they like girl on girl? Lol they always go on about it.)

Fair enough, I like that. I'm gonna stick with that. Shhh! My mum doesn't have to know lol. XD


message 317: by Rea, Ghost (new)

Rea | 1992 comments Mod
Yes, but it turns them on in a different way! Eventually he took the hint that we were more interested in each other than in him.

Lol, you do that then!


message 318: by Char (new)

Char (CharmaineElaine) Lol, well at least they took the hint (eventually).

Yay! Lol


message 319: by Rea, Ghost (new)

Rea | 1992 comments Mod
Yes, that's what we tell ourselves too. It was all worth it! I've only ever felt in actual danger 2 or 3 times so that's good.


message 320: by Char (new)

Char (CharmaineElaine) That is good. It's not so good that you felt in danger though. No one should feel like that at any point during their lives.


message 321: by Rea, Ghost (new)

Rea | 1992 comments Mod
No, it was really scary. The worst one was when I met the guy's eyes just as he was walking past me and they struck me as being empty... no emotion whatsoever. Next thing I know he's following me around town! I honestly thought that if he caught up with me, he would do horrible things to me.


message 322: by Char (new)

Char (CharmaineElaine) Oh no! I hate peple with empty eyes, they freak me out. At least you got away!


message 323: by Rea, Ghost (new)

Rea | 1992 comments Mod
Yeah, same here. And when the eyes are a light colour (light blue or grey) it just seems to be even worse. That's what I tell myself too... funnily enough I escaped him by ducking into a book shop and weaving my way through all the stacks!


message 324: by Char (new)

Char (CharmaineElaine) Oh God yeah, I mean it's like the eyes aren't even there. Good, there's no point on dwelling on it. Yay for book shops!


message 325: by Rea, Ghost (new)

Rea | 1992 comments Mod
I know, evil eyes. :( I know! What would I have done without the bookshop?!


message 326: by Char (new)

Char (CharmaineElaine) Eeew! I don't like evil eyes. :( I know! We love book shops forever because they're awesome and save people. (You.)


message 327: by Rea, Ghost (new)

Rea | 1992 comments Mod
I know! Thank you for bookshops!

On a completely unrelated note, the weather has turned nice!! After endless thunderstorms for the past two days, it is SO nice to have the sun out! I'm gonna go do lots of laundry and hang it all out to dry! Woo!!
(And now I feel old... it's nice weather and my first thought is that it's perfect weather to dry the laundry...)


message 328: by Char (new)

Char (CharmaineElaine) Ooooh I like nice weather although my first thought tends to be "Oh God, it's too hot..." I don't like our washing going outside, I don't like the smell when it comes back in. (I'm weird I know.)
(Hahaha... nonsense, it can't be that bad.)


message 329: by Rea, Ghost (new)

Rea | 1992 comments Mod
It's turned dull again now. Least my towels are dry! :) I prefer drying outside, goes faster.

On another unrelated note, I hate when someone asks me to look over their English homework then doesn't like it when I tell them their writing tells to much and doesn't show because really they just wanted me to tell them that it is a-Meyer-zing and perfect just the way it is. Not gonna happen.


message 330: by Stephanie (new)

Stephanie (stephanie-geerald) Ah, that is why checking a Math homework is so much better as opposed to checking an English paper because when you're wrong ... well you're just wrong :D


message 331: by Rea, Ghost (new)

Rea | 1992 comments Mod
Very true! Unfortunately I get called upon to check English more than anything else! With a lot of my friends it's ok, because they just want me to make sure the sentence structure is English and not Dutch. I'm happy to do that. Some people, especially very young aspiring authors, are just impossible, though.


message 332: by Jeshu (new)

Jeshu (jeshusauria) I know my english isn't perfect, but it's better than some of my classmate's. I hate checking their homeworks/essays, because they are usually full of typos and weird grammar structures. Most of the time, I end up editing the full thing XD

In other news, today I went to a protest. I jumped, run, yelled, and told Mr. Piñera that he can go to hell. I'm happy XD


message 333: by Rea, Ghost (new)

Rea | 1992 comments Mod
I read a lot of masters dissertations and correct the English in them. I'm happy to help so long as the people actually listen to me. Sometimes it takes me hours to get through the papers, though.

Yey! Tous ensemble! Tous ensemble!


message 334: by Char (new)

Char (CharmaineElaine) I'm tired and grumpy. My mum wants me to have my haircut. This makes me more grumpy. She says it looks nicer shorter. I'm gonna do my nails tomorrow. (I'm too tired to ut all this in the right topic lol.)


message 335: by Rea, Ghost (new)

Rea | 1992 comments Mod
You know it's bad when you have to pinch your nose to drink down 3 of your 6 meals in the day! :(


message 336: by Char (new)

Char (CharmaineElaine) I just wrote the most awful poem ever. On the bright side I won the dare.


message 337: by Rea, Ghost (new)

Rea | 1992 comments Mod
Haha, did you have a bet going with Tara?


message 338: by Char (last edited Aug 29, 2011 02:43PM) (new)

Char (CharmaineElaine) Yeah, wanna read?

Here it is:

The sweetest smiles,
Always reach your eyes,
Your soul glows,
And baby it shows.

If I were to own you,
You’d never be blue,
I’d make your heart skip a beat,
Even from the next street.

(I'm not even saving this I hate it so much.)


message 339: by Rea, Ghost (new)

Rea | 1992 comments Mod
Go on then, post it. :p

I did lol but here it is again:

The sweetest smiles,
Always reach your eyes,
Your soul glows,
And baby it shows.

If I were to own you,
You’d never be blue,
I’d make your heart skip a beat,
Even from the next street.

You edited your last one while I was cringing at the shit NuttyMadam spews about Twilight. :p

lol :p It is pretty bad, but that's from the lines that don't fit because you were going for a rhyming scheme.

Fair enough lol

I always rhyme with happy poetry (part of why I don't write it) and also because I'm not in the right frame of mind to write it. (I can do happy poetry. I want to point this out. Pipi boy poetry anyone?)


message 343: by Rea, Ghost (new)

Rea | 1992 comments Mod
I don't do poetry at all. :p I can never be happy with my poems. Though when I do write it, it's usually to push myself with certain forms. Like writing a sonnet instead of just writing a poem. (the pipi boy poetry was fun to write!)


message 344: by Char (new)

Char (CharmaineElaine) Haha, I love writing poetry (when I get to choose what it's about) because it's a release. Fair enough, I don't really push myself with my poetry. I don't think I need to as I only do it for myself (and people tend to like it.) (The pipi boy poetry was awesome! I must do it again sometime.)


message 345: by Rea, Ghost (new)

Rea | 1992 comments Mod
Yeah, my release is through writing, usually short stories, or rants aimed at someone in particular. Aye, anything I write I write for myself... I don't know why I make things so hard for myself with poems. Perhaps because they're not my normal form of release and poems with certain forms have always appealed to me more than free verse. (It was! Not sure I have much more I can say about him though, lol.)

Ok, gonna see if I can get my brain to actually switch off tonight (though by the feel of it, that's not gonna happen for some time yet.)


message 346: by Susan (new)

Susan I had this in the "share your writing" thread... but thought I'd put here also - Char...
Haiku to YOU! LOL Brighten up! and don't cut your hair!

Talk to me stranger
let it be all night
No names, just touch
please help make it right

I need to remember
what it was before.
To be wanted desired
loved and adored.

Kiss me til I’’m weak
Love me with your hands
take me away from here
to faraway forgotten lands

Use your mouth and lips
Do to me what you will
I’’ve lost my lover
I so crave his touch still

He kissed me goodbye with cold lips
and left me alone with the sun
His love marks on my neck
Made me - he and I one

I just need - what can I say
Lie to me- I’’m so lonely
tell me you’’re mine
I’’m yours for this night only


Our sweaty bodies slide
over every inch of skin
slick with heat and lust
Breathing labored, begin again

The after peace is what I crave
the sense of right and awe
The sun’’s arising in the east
I kiss and leave with the dawn

Awake after I’’m gone a while
Never knowing my name
Never forgetting the night
The woman you couldn’t tame

This is my curse you see
never in peace- always in danger
until the next faceless lover
always with a stranger

Lol, I do rants but they're more verbal. I don't mind shouting at everyone. I think it's stupid if you don't, I mean there's no point in writing if it doesn't make you happy. Yeah I can see why you'd prefer others but I'm happy to just put down anything as long as it makes a tiny bit of sense. (I think there's always more to say on pipi boy! You know how I love him so, I just prefer Tom! :P)

Completely changing the topic (again).

I was just getting ready to cycle into town... bundled up all nice and warm and what have you... And I stop a second to think - ey, wait, there's summat up 'ere. The problem? My handbag is full, and I mean FULL, of cans of Orangina! What on earth has Arie been doing with my handbag?! There are 9 cans in there!


message 350: by Char (new)

Char (CharmaineElaine) Okay, another change of topic.

I got a new coat today in an effort to improve my depression. I luuurve my new coat, it's so beautiful. :)
