I'm wondering, is this something that happens only in the UK? Or does it happen in other countries? I live in an area where all the big office building are, and I have to take the train to commute -so I'm walking everyday among hundreds of people WHO ONLY WEAR BLACK. Ok, maybe they wear a white shirt. It's seriously creepy. Mostly because it's 'what you're supposed' to wear. I bet if anyone wore a blue suit to work there'd be chaos in the office...

I'd like pictures of the pod people, and clover the one splash of red. I avoid wearing black myself, too hot.
One things is, some days I can count 5 or more Che Guevara shirts around the city. Give it up, let it go! |

Well, I can take a piccy of the Grey Men/Agents/Pod People, one day when I'm not running to get the train, but I don't see how I could put myself in the middle...

*raises hand sheepishly* I'm afraid this is meeeeeee...... One of my pleasures, once I'd decided to get divorced, was to ditch all the clothes I'd bought in an effort to please my ex (who lives and breathes fashion), and replace them with four plain black tee shirts. It used to be funny that we were the only straight couple who fought because he felt I didn't spend enough on clothes, but it wasn't funny in the end at all. I have close to zero interest in clothes, shoes or shopping for them, and it really is a struggle for me to care less what I put on in the morning, and at least now I've gone with black I don't have to worry if it matches or not. But I do have a nice red handbag, courtesy of my sister-in-law. *********************** There once was a bard of Hong Kong Who thought limericks were too long. - Gerard Benson. |

I once wandered into Harrods one day, and found myself in the perfume aisle. I say aisle though, it was perfume land really. I had to get out, but at every turn there were women on either side of me ready and willing to spray perfume in my face. Years of computer game training had come to this; not only did I have to quickly work out the correct route out of Perfume Land Maze, but also try and avoid all the tear gas attackers at various junctions. I made it out, after about 10 minutes of frantic wandering, though I got hit about 4 or 5 times (three times with J Lo's 'Glow') so my energy levels were almost depleated. So I went and had a nice Starbucks afterwards... ----------------------------- St.Barbarella: Sexy Tart.

Not sure where to post this, not in Letters You're Not Going To Send because I think I will talk to my landlords about this but...
Dear Landlords, There is seriously something wrong with your dog. He barks and bays nonstop, and your neighbors have already called Animal Control at least once. He can't possibly be a happy dog with all that anxiety. He bounces in a full circle practically crying with frustration. Please please please neuter him or put him on doggie prozac or - here's an idea - train him to behave/regulate himself. Sincerely, Me, the one who paid for your boat, new garage, patio, etc. Note: they got the dog about a year after I moved in, I wouldn't have taken the apartment if he had already been here, that's how bad he is. It's not even the noise so much as it's painful to hear him so upset and not be able to comfort him or distract him because he's too far gone. ~ . . ~ . . ~ . . ~ . . ~ . . ~ . . ~ . . ~ . . ~ . . ~ . . ~ Weeble Song!

Oh, poor Weeble - and poor dog, too. Do you have something like the RSPCA there, something to do with animal welfare (rather than animal control, which is just a form of pest control), since it is so clear the dog is unhappy?

I'll look into that Hive, thanks. For now I am just trying to work out how to talk to them about it, I'm a firm believer in talking one-on-one first instead of blindsiding with a call to 'authorities' especially since they are my landlords.

Why do people think it's okay to talk on their cell phones in the restroom? I can understand it (almost) at a movie theatre, but at WORK?!? WTF? Do you people remember at all what that room is FOR?

I'm fairly accepting of people's stupid behavior, for if I wasn't I'd go insane.
Two things. First: People who try to force me to eat. I'm a picky eater. a VERY picky eater. No, I can't just wipe the mayonnaise off. If you even make me LOOK at it for more than five second I WILL THROW UP ON YOU! Just leave me ALONE! Second: Once upon a time, not SO very long ago, I was in high school. In high school I had an English teacher who was not very great with handling stupidity and deviant behavior. One day, when the bell rang and we were all sitting down, most waiting somewhat patiently, said teacher walked up the whiteboard in obvious fury. In big bold red letters he wrote "ALOT." After this was done he turned to the class and went on a rant I had no reason to pay attention to about half the class failing, and how they're not putting any effort in. By the end of the rant the whole of the class was fairly scared he was going to throw the dry-erase marker at someone's head, toss over a desk or two, and storm out of the room. Alas... he did nothing quite so entertaining. He merely pointed to the "ALOT" written on the board, screamed, "AND SOME OF YOU STILL THINK A LOT IS WRITTEN LIKE THIS!" The climax over, he set the dry-erase marker down, told us to work in our books, and huffed off to his desk. Half of use worked in our books, the failing half merely snickered. That said: "alot" written as one word is now a pet-peeve. I am the one, the only, LORD GOD CHLISH OF THE TICKS! All hail. "What's green, hangs on the wall, and sings?" "Billy, the large-mouth singing bass." |

this is me. and also "could of" ("should of," "would of," etc.). and "alright." and, oddly, "damn it." it's actually "dammit," ladies and gentlemen. *nods* people who use "I" instead of "me" in an attempt to sound sophisticated and educated...when they should've used "me" in the first place. and many, many more. also, Clover, I'm one of the black-wearing people a lot of the time. I just like the color. but I try to pair it with brighter colors when I can, at least.  ~ We're just babies making up a game, if you're right.
