Princess: the bastards! They are actively trying to ruin our lives Princess.... try throwing rocks at your neighbors, it should fix things.

Rhubarb: She's intelligent and funny, and that is a trait you don't find in women in Iceland, except if they are married with kids.... guess she's halfway there then...
She did warn me several times about an insane family before we met though and I thought she was just exaggerating then.

As for Toadstool, if she smacks the shit out of Zelda, she's my kind of girl.

[Rhubarb]

Here's the full account of the happy event.

[Little princess]

You're right. I did like the idea of being the one to smack Zelda.
Although, I'm more violent with my mouth, than physically aggressive.

I have never played a game....there, isn't that shocking?

I don't suppose any of you will want to speak to me ever again.

I'm here because I love Yahtzee, he amazes and amuses me.

Through him I met all of you and you seem to understand me. Now I come here because of you. You're all fun.
I find I genuinely care about you.

I also find myself thinking about Icey and his baby. I can understand how an abortion would make the problem go away. But I keep remembering my cousin who had an abortion, 5 years later she had a baby and was happy, but she told me she cries for the first one because now she knows what she's missed.

Iceys family didn't say the right things either.
Put yourself in their place.....Here's their young son...their brilliant young son with his future before him. What has he done? He's chucked it away. He's got a girl pregnant, he will have to support a child. They're disappointed and worried, and bloody angry with him for being such an idiot. It seems as if all their hopes for him have been thrown out the door. I can understand that.

Her family might scare them too.

End of lecture.

Little Princess: I so agree with your "lecture". Babies are cute ..... at first ....... and then comes the hard work - for the rest of your life that child is your responsibility.

Icey and whatsername: if you choose the abortion route it is best done NOW so decide quickly. Picture yourselves ten years down the road - would you be together?

Rhubarb: how's my baby?!

[Rhubarb]

He's upside down on a beanbag, reading the Narnia series and making fun of my Turkish hat.

[SkinnedAlive]

I've had a narnia hardback box set up on my shelf for somewhere upward of 6 years and never touched them. I really should start reading more, I haven't touched Children of Dune since january...

[Rhubarb]

I've had a narnia hardback box set up on my shelf for somewhere upward of 6 years and never touched them.

That's just criminal. That's like being given a seven-course meal each day and just throwing it away instead of eating it, while children starve in gutters.

Narnia's great. If the Bible were abolished and replaced by the Narnia series, everyone would like Christianity more and there would be less wars.

[Little princess]

Thankyou Mudda. I thought I'd be howled down in flames. (forgive the mixed metaphor.)

No wonder we all love Yahtz. Can't you just see him? Reading one of my favourite book series too.

Rhub...What's a Turkish hat?

[Rhubarb]

Well, the hat I have was a present to my dad from a friend who picked the thing up in Turkey. I dunno if it's the staple hat of all Turks, but anyway... it's kind of like a felt beanie, but with a thicker piece of felt extending down the back to cover my neck, like a havelock. There are also two scarfs attached to the sides, which you can wrap around your face. When worn correctly, it covers my entire head and neck except for a slit for my eyes. I like to wear it on cold days with shapeless coats while people on the street try to guess my gender.

It looks less ridiculous than it sounds.


YZ's only reading the Narnia series cos I practically forced him. For someone so enthusiastic about writing, he's tragically literature-starved. To his credit he does seem to like the series though.

[Lachie Dazdarian]

Poor child.

[Little princess]

I think I know what your Turkish hat looks like Rhubarb.

I've seen them in paintings.

I was imagining something like a fez...but that isn't you somehow.

[Rhubarb]

Heh. They look strangely fetching on YZ though...

Nah, I'm more the European terrorist style of dress. Or the scruffy Victorian orphan style.

[Little princess]

I've seen those in paintings too, or old photographs.

Now I know what you look like....

Torn dirty dress, that once belonged to an adult twice your size, hitched up at the side showing baggy dirty knickers hanging down, (did they have knickers?) bloomers, I mean. The neck torn and falling over one thin, white, bare shoulder.

One bare foot and an old mans boot on the other.

Filthy matted hair...

Oh Rhubarb...I'd give you a farthing if I saw you....NO, bugger. I'd give you a penny!

[Rhubarb]

Actually, I dress more like the Victorian orphan boys. And by that I mean Oliver Twist. And by THAT I mean the cleaner, well-spoken Oliver Twist in the movie with Alec Guinness. Ahh, I'll let you draw your own mental picture.

Bloody pedants.

[Little princess]

I like my image best.

But, you mean you wear knickerbockers and braces...and talk posh.

But...but...does it 'go' with the Turkish hat?
