Oi Miss lippy, I do not have mood swings, I am probably the most consistently minded person on the planet.
I don't believe you do not have a mobile.
Scientists develop one of the most convenient tools of the century and you want to send smoke signals...
Are you trying to live in the past?
Actually, I do have a mobile for emergencies. But I never use it. I never even have it switched on. It just kind of lays in the bottom of my bag in case of emergency. I don't even know how to send a text.
Are you one of those people who walk down the street staring at your mobile? I asked my son what people who were looking at them were doing. He said either reading texts or playing games. I didn't even know you could do all that stuff with them until he told me.
Are you one of those people who calls your wife in the house from outside in the garden on your mobile? (I swear I saw someone do that once).
I sometimes call people on the mobile as I approach their house, to make sure this is a convenient time to call. With free minutes the way they are, I have to use them up somehow.
Do you like being elusive ?
Sometimes. I really like being able to chooose when I want to be available. I don't like having to feel available all the time. Sometimes, especially when I'm teaching and I'm with people all day - I don't even answer the phone in my house-I let the machine get it and if the kids insist on answering it, I say, "If it's for me, tell them I'm not home."
Don't you ever feel that way - that you just want to enjoy your peace and quiet?
All the time. That's why I live where I do and have call display. However, I have a mobile because it's handy and I certainly use it. For example, I order my take out sushi ahead on my way home... phone the knife shop - are my knives ready? If so, I swing by... if not, I do other things. It's very time-efficient.
Do you think the giraffe is a beautiful animal?
Yes.
Does that question have something to do with sticking one's neck out? (I ask because of the whole knife thing, and then the giraffe...just trying to keep up here.).
No, it doesn't. I was just changing the subject!
Do you always read more into things than are there? lol
Not always, and it really doesn't even come naturally to me. I used to be totally oblivious. Let's just say I've had a lot of conversations (and practice decoding) with a master of symbolism.
Do you know who I'm referring to?
No. I don't.
I thought Mame was the Mistress of Symbolism with that last avvie she had before she bottled it.
How can there be a "Master" of symbolism when symbolism is a Mistressy phenomena?
I didn't know the ability to use and decode symbolism was gender specific, so a male who was proficient would be a master and a proficient female would be a mistress.
Have you ever seen a book of ancient symbols? (The way some of the archtypal symbols have evolved from negative to positive connotations or from positive to negative connotations depending on the era is really pretty interesting).
Yes I have.
What was your day like?
It was good. I worked at the shop, which I always enjoy. I was almost kind of thinking that I'd like to do it full time. The owner is hoping to expand and sell stuff on line which she would do from home and she said something about me taking over and managing the shop.. it's just so problem free and pleasant - but that might all change if I have to start worrying about sales and profits and stuff.
How was your day?
Oh-the usual. You know. Unchallenging I suppose might fit. No crocodile infested rivers to swim across.
Do you like Elton John?
I like some things he's done- his older stuff. I like Daniel, Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me, and my favorite is probably Rocket Man. I can't disregard his talent - but his later stuff is not my cup of tea - a little too overblown and theatrical for my taste.
Do you like Sting?
Yes, saw him/them in concert once - very good.
Do you know why he took the name Sting?
I would assume it refers to the speed with which he gets a job done and possibly the inspiration for Wham and Take That.
Like the sting of a defending wasp it is admirable for the technical skill but leaves a nasty, painful blotch on the skin of its prey.
I think he's dire. Message in a Bottle indeed. What's up with whisperings into the curls in a quiet corner of the bar?
What's up with it? Nothing I suppose. Nothing wrong with it either.
Whose curls would you like to whisper into?
More or less anybody who enjoyed having her curls whispered into mysteriously and is able to see the lighter side in the morning thus avoiding the necessity of having to shake her off your legs as you bolt up the road.
Do you know anybody like that who is pretty average in other departments?
Would it matter if I did? Do you want to get to know someone like that? What an ambition!
How do you feel about global climate change?
Nothing.
Is it too much to ask that you keep your sarcastic lower-middle-class homilies to yourself when you are playing fun word games?
