You know, I think that Brand eloquently expresses the feeling of many with regard to politics - not just in the UK, but further afield.
Now, I don't know if you are aware or not, but Scotland are currently in the process of devolving from the rest of UK, but we are such a lazy, lethargic nation that it seems unlikely that anyone will even care, especially the younger generation.
Why?
Because they know little or nothing of politics. There are very few interesting politicians. At least with someone like Brand, he has a different take on things, different motivations and to my mind would be a breath of fresh air - something that is very much needed at this time...
I'm quite tall, kind of scruffy, big boobs... I'm told I have a nice smile and a contagious laugh... When I talk to you, I give you my full attention...
I've not read Daisy's yet - but now that she has an audio, I may listen to it instead - she does give good oral (sorry Shy! hahahah)
I actually have a story idea for this comp and have even typed out a few pars... Fingers crossed I'll get it done!
Looking forward to reading all the entries and seeing how everyone interprets the theme...
DH Lawrence... I think he's awful
Charles Bukowski too - someone close to me was insistent that I love him as much as he did... I never did though...
I think it's a nice idea, but I guess both parties would have to be cool with it...
I wouldn't normally shower after sex, unless I was going out afterwards, or we headed there together...
There's something I quite like about being able to catch the scent of him on my skin or his cum leaking onto my panties for a while... Sort of makes it last longer?
Sometimes we "see" things that aren't there, imagine that a person could be a possibility, when in fact, they're not interested, well, not in that way, or just don't see you in the way that you would like. You can't force it, you can't force someone to like you or love you or even be your friend.
It's easy to get into a scenario where you think you might be good for a person, able to enhance their life and they yours. A mutually beneficent relationship where one supports and nurtures the other. That would be ideal, wouldn't it? Solve "problems" on both sides, make life mutually easier?
But sadly, although it's a nice fantasy and you can see it playing out in your mind, it doesn't mean it's going to happen.
You sound as though you have made it relatively clear (at least in your way) to her, that you are offering friendship. However, she has not taken you up on that thus far and I am inclined to think that it is with good reason.
You say that women find it easier to include a man in their lives. In my experience, that is not the case. Some men are incredibly difficult to read, blow hot and cold and can generally be just impossible to fathom.. as though they cannot communicate effectively, make their needs and wants (or NOT wants) understood - in just the same way that women can.
It doesn't sound like she is ignoring you, a plausible partner/connection in favour of something else, it just doesn't sound like she is interested in anything with you.
In my experience, if the feelings of one party outweigh those of the other, balance is unlikely to be found, try as you might.
My advice would be to move on, forget the idea of a relationship with her. Perhaps a friendship may spring up, perhaps not. Nothing good can come of being lovesick - it will merely detract from real life goings on, maybe make you miss something else while you're "not looking"...
Let it go and see what happens...
Namaste
Honestly, I maintain, if you write, you're a writer. There are of course different distinctions; technical writers, writers of minutes, writers of schedules and rotas, writers of textbooks, reference books, school curriculums, writers of graffiti, screen writers, script writers, letter writers, underwriters, writers of sermons, obituaries, journalists, novelists, authors, writers of philosophy, magazine writers, forum posters, unknown writers, famous writers... Blah blah blah
People like us. We're all writers in our own way, aren't we?
I guess it depends on what you're asking?
