Quiet and restful weekend? Good on ya, love. I don't think so!

But isn't he gorgeous?

Oh Hilary! That's so sweet, and what a lovely sentiment. Thank you.

Okay. Here's my say. And it's all touchy feely so those disinclined may like to look away. I have belonged to PAS (the community) since the beginning. At first, I thought it was a very interesting place, peopled by interesting, intelligent, thoughtful human beings. (Which it is.) But having been online and around the traps for a wee while, I wasn't here to make friends. However, something magic has happened. Having had occasion to meet many of the members of this community offline, I have found myself slowly falling in like with people left, right, and centre. I am, by nature, a shy person - not someone who finds it easy to cope in large noisy groups, unless I feel completely comfortable. I have found that with the people I have met from this community, there has been, mostly, for me anyway, an instant sense of ease and knowing. It is a pleasure, and a surprise, to find myself being greedy for more offline interaction with those of you I have already met. I just want those of you with whom I have formed/am forming relationships to know that for me, there is never enough time spent just being together, and that I appreciate so much being included in this wonderful community. There. That's my say.

Hard News: About Arie, in reply to Sacha,
We don't do Naughty Corners anymore, or Time Out. I stand there, with a very severe look on my face. Usually scares the shit out of them.

My tongue it is sticking out. At you.

And what have we learned, children? That each person has their own preferences. Surely, Chris, you would agree, that as long as it is the person, or their family/loved ones, who is/are directly affected by their uniqueness of being, who gets to decide how named or unnamed they are?

So deeply upsetting. As if taking some light fittings were 1) a huge crime, anyway and 2) looting. Arrant nonsense. And how did someone not notice this young man's beaten face? What angers me the most about this case is that Michael Laws and others like him are doing exactly the thing that they accuse others of doing. They are using a national disaster to justify their own actions. Contemptible.

Muse: Film Socialism (or, How You'll…, in reply to Sacha,
Oh, I'm not anti people who are intellectual, I just always thought I was intellectual, but since hanging around with you lot, I have discovered that actually? I'm pretty average. Happy to be so, but.

See, I think we should get a group of PASers to go to one of these films, so that you can all explain to me what the fuck is going on. I have decided, after much intellectual exercise, that I am becoming distinctly anti-intellectual, and have been for some time. Although I am going to the Spiegeltent on Thursday to an Arts Festival offering. Does that count?
