Ive seen the "high criteria" shopping list thing alot, and have often seen it as a defense amongst inexperienced ones-who've been this way for ages- something to cling on to, their high shallow surface standards- in order to not have to face up to the fact there might be something wrong with...
I don’t think there is a right or wrong answer- it all depends on the individuals involved.
I will say that I think with shallower people- or people looking for short term physical gratification- perhaps focused on looks- the net as a medium to meet someone is definitely not appropriate. And...
I've just sorted out the details and bought a 1995 Porsche 911 Turbo, and I'm hoping to point its dainty little nose toward any horizon and just drive and drive.
4WD, 450 Bhp, air cooled! One very fast "beetle"!
I might head off to France, or perhaps go down to Cornwall!
Just me, the car...
"She took off a silver locket she said remember me by this
She put her hand in my pocket I got a keepsake and a kiss
And in the roar of dust and diesel I stood and watched her walk away
I could have caught up with her easy enough but something must have made me stay"....

How about we post a song, preferably with interesting, perhaps contravercial lyrics and also post our interpretation of what it means? (this could also speak volumes about us too!)
I'll start with an old classic by "Steely Dan" called "King Of The World"
"Hello one and all

I grew up in London too.
Desperation or brainwashing?
Perhaps a little of both. A total disregard of life, arrogance, for "they don't matter" as they are "infidels".
It disgusts me and I'm sick of it.
I'm thinking about how far I've come, and yet how did it come to this?
I'm thinking sometimes you can be totally right and yet derrive very little comfort at all...and win no prize...
I'm wondering what they'll ask at this internal interview on Thursday.
I'm wondering why I even bothered to...
Well I think it will be nice getting to know you "Sally Sausages", interesting handle BTW!
I've only started coming here recently but it has a very pleasant feel.
The first forum I ever went on was a Sci Fi gaming type forum

It's very interesting what you say about planning.
I asked about this in a recent thread I wrote. I have been planning my current story for the last year or so on and off. I know exactly what will happen and who the characters are and how they will evolve. I always feel somewhat sheepish when...
I'm a walking contradiction!
A People person that hates most of society in general. A bit of an isolationist who needs people contact.
I have no problem with making new people and talking to strangers- I'm outgoing and approchable and yet an introvert who needs his own space.
I believe in...
Large, piercing almost shiny black. They were the kind of eyes that probed intensely, hungrily for knowledge and truth. With pupils that bore through irrelevancies and facades with inordinate ease. The thick eyebrows slightly upswept complemented the impressive glare.
And that’s just on a...
OK, I might as well answer these myself :cool:
A cruciform crank configured V8 is what most v8s are, including old style American muscle cars, BMWs, Mercedes, etc etc. It is often favoured over the even firing -per-bank config because it inherently has better balance then a flat plane crank...
To all your budding writers/established writers of fiction.
Is there alot of planning upfront of your works or do you "wing" it and write as you go, perhaps adjusting drafts later, "playing by feel"?
I have had most of my stories brewing in my mind for a few years, and I know what I want to...
I find my everyday job, because it's so cognitive and ordered and...black and white sullies the creativity out of me a little.
However, on weekends and late nights I can go into my fantasy world and let my dreams take flight.
I got alot of writing and plans done when I was on vacation at...
Ok, lets go into my esoteric area of expertise, and I'd be suprised if anyone can find answers to these questions on the web. If they are found they are likely to be wrong!
On a cruciform crank configured V8 automotive spark ignition engine (as opposed to a flat plane -even firing V8-a la...
Ashlea- I'm a self confessesed "petrol head"! Always have been ever since I was about 5 or 6! Fortunately it's an addiction that has benefitted my career enormously!
I Love VW Beetles ( the old kind) my earliest memories were of the one my father had and I owned one for a while!
