Well, I remember in the early '70s the general consensus was that women didn't look good in men's clothes.

@Squinks and Jat
:D Thanks, now I don't feel obliged to post a picture of me in glasses.

I'd like to see a pic of you with your sexy glasses Jelena! I have sexy glasses too ;)

tsa, if you post one first I can post one later.

And fyi, my glasses aren't sexy. That's just a rumour.

Ok. Look for me here. One picture of me on the internet is more than enough :)

Misery loves company, so yeah, great! One more person on the sexy glasses bandwagon! :P*

*Spoken by a person already on said bandwagon.

Hmmm. No one looked good in the early '70s, in my opinion. Everyone looked pretty much the same, with big bellbottoms, longish feathered hair, and striped knit shirts. Horrible.

Forgot to mention earlier, but tsa, you're quite a cutie. :)

Hey, I saw him first! :P

I was out doing my weekly wine and spirits shop today, and this scruffy urchin on the check out forced me to endure his painful attempts to chat me up.

We enjoyed such exchanges as:
"Are you wearing moisturiser?"
"Yes, why do you ask?"
*gesturing at the fluorescing ceiling* "It's just the lights..."
"Oh, so you're saying I look shiny? Great! That's sooo the look I was going for? :shifty:"
"Oh no, I mean I'd moisturise if I had the time!"
And I'm just thinking "Yeah, you couldn't even be bothered to shave today..."

We then had the classic "you have a really nice accent" which does nothing for me as I've been told that since the age of six. You'd think that people had never heard someone speak properly before. After that I tuned out the following random compliments mixed with inane chatter as I played rudimentary tetris with the glass bottles in my tote bag, trying to minimise the potential for breakages.

I suppose I should be flattered to an extent, but I just don't like speaking to the help. Unwelcome conversation annoys me, I'm not big on small talk, when I'm doing something I don't wish to be bothered. It took my hairdresser the best part of a decade to learn not to try and make conversation beyond the initial pleasantries.

\me blushes

Now it's your turn to show you and your glasses Jelena!

They're glasses. They're on a woman. Call me fetishistic if you will but that's generally good enough for me. :)
Agreed. :D

Has this turned into the post-your-picture thread?

Today, I enjoyed lots of April Fool gags. What a shame AG doesn't do one. OR DOES IT?

Now, hasn't later such a nice indefinite ring to it? ;)


OK, I'll see what I can do.

In the US, perhaps, but in many Europe locations, men look fabulous (read: don't get away with the jeans and t-shirt uniform every day).

Well, not here in NL. We are officiously the worst dressing people in the world. Look at tourists in your local surroundings: you'll pick out the Dutch without any problems.

Dear AG blog...

I play adventure games as a means of "escape" since the "real" world is grinding me into dust on a daily basis. If only...I could actually live in one of the worlds of Myst, I'd be so happy.

I'm bored out of my skull, depressed, lonely, blah, blah, blah...spend way too much time on the computer...

I noticed another bipolar poster in this thread. (I keep running into fellow "mentally ill" folks online all the time. Small world!) My long winded posts may have already given me away.

I get irritated with some of the negative press bipolar disorder has gotten in the news lately. We're not all violent psychos who "flip out" one day and kill our children! (I hate that the press wants to color all of us that way, when it's not the case.) Are some mentally ill people violent? Of course. But for the majority of us, it's just another crappy thing we have to deal with every day, and most of us, do it in a non-violent way.

Luckily for me, I tend to be more depressive, then manic, which has always kept me a pretty boring bipolar person. (yay depression! heh)

Anyway, that was my quick "the press sucks when they talk about bipolar disorder" rant.




Personally, I don't blog, because I think they're lame (because I'm a snarky snob sometimes!), and I read somewhere that something like 98% of blogs on the internet never get read by anyone, except the writer themselves. (Jeeze, we really need to get out more.) LOL. (this is a cool thread though, so it's the exception to lameness!)

*sigh*


Anyway, I'm in a "Wednesday Addams" kind of mood lately, so thanks for letting me vent a bit AG blog thread! :)

I'd say that the press sucks when it talks about a lot of things (AGs included) but well said. It's the stereotype view of mental illness that makes it harder for people to get the help they need. They fear the stigma created by negative press.

Very true. I suppose the positive side of this, is the disorder (and others) are being talked about more overall, which helps to educate the general public who had never heard of it before. (even Oprah did a show about it recently) If nothing else, I hope it opens a dialog about mental illness so that it's not so taboo to talk about anymore.

Anyway, I have a knack for bringing a thread to a screeching halt with my "hey, everyone, I'm bipolar and pissed off about something!!!"....so, I'll cool it for tonight. :D

*happy thoughts...bunnies...rainbows...puppies...etc*
