I'm in Milton Keynes

Is the mall still there? I went there once.

Is Milton Keynes near Stoke-on-Trent? did I even spell that right?

A lovely cautionary tale about beastly boys. I love the line "imitation lashes flutter above/looking for an imitation of love". It makes me feel sorry for the girl, in spite of her obvious silliness. Girls will be girls, and I think most of us can relate to this, either by having been with...

grab his piece!

I don't know about the rest of the country, but in VA Oxycontin abusers tend to be.....(how do I put this nicely? ah, what the hell!) white trash.

thank you, Rush.

heh heh.

Ms. Krall has rather broad shoulders, doesn't she?

dude. what's next? A minivan? Wait, they're famous. A Hummer? And some pissed off looking kids to go with it.

I never thought of Elvis as the "crotchety" type, but the look on his face says otherwise.

these are my long red nails

I'm not Goody Two Shoes, but I am on the East Coast. Suburban Washington DC, to be specific. And right now, its pouring outside, with an occasional rumble. I've seen footage from North Carolina and VA Beach, and the storm is amazing to look at, but the destruction is intense. Around here, it's not b...

About a year ago, I saw the movie "Last Orders". For me, the most important point of that film was the notion that every life is extraordinary. Yesterday I found out that my ex-boyfriend's mother died of a brain tumor. I received an email from my ex two Wednesdays ago informing me that she...

OK, here i go... My father getting a job with the Air Force when I was 5. It got us out of Flint, MI (and if any of you have seen Roger and Me, you know what I'm talking about), and I was exposed to quite a lot of things I may never have gotten to see. One of those "things" was Europe, whe...

Happy birthday Spooky! Hope you have a wonderful day and year!

A few days ago, out of idle curiosity, I looked up the old site to see when it was set to expire. The date was listed as August 22, 2003. I checked back Friday and it was still up, but a short while ago I went back and it's been taken down. I realize the old board doesn't matter now, but it all make...

Thank you, El Vez--I needed a laugh today

Isn't ted nugent a deputy for Genesee County or something? I was born there...how embarassing... :oops: I know very little about Michgan politics, but I'd like to think there are still enough union democrats around to prevent him from furthering his political career (that is, if he decides to). of c...

Even though this is an old thread, I finally have something to share. :lol: This past weekend I went to an Anime convention in Baltimore. We arrived Thursday night, and after a celebratory dinner at Hooters, headed back to our hotel room and proceeded to drink as much as we could. (By "we"...

DD, am i not the queerest member on this board?

No, you are. I'm only halfway there .

but, even 'bad' elvis is better than alot of schlock on the radio

I agree, but with the possible exception of "God Give Me Strength". When his voice rises during the chorus, it makes me cringe.

Hmmm. Well, I think we should limit it to EC songs, since this is the correct forum. Perhaps we can start a more general thread in the Annex.

A recent thread about "Veronica" got me thinking about certain songs that might not be terribly popular. And from that, I thought about the possibility that there might be songs that some of us can't stand to hear, for any reason. I'm not sure exactly why, but I find "Tart" painf...

I voted Yes, but I have nothing to say that hasn't already been said.

I have a wife. Or, I would if our marrige was legally upheld in Virginia. And if the guy who performed the ceremony hadn't been ordained on the internet.

You made some good points, DrJ. (And have I told you I love your avatar?) For the record, I'm 24. And I've been an off-and-on college student since fall 1997 (sad, isn't it?). This afternoon I called my store's assistant manager (an old friend of mine) who is currently on a leave of abscence, and ma...

Today I was supposed to begin training as a shift supervisor at work (I work at Starbucks). I've been looking foreward to this promotion since I started working there two months ago. But when I sat down with my store manager, the first question she asked me is if I could commit to a year. That threw...

This is my first attempt at creative writing in many years. Please don't laugh. soft spoken shy hair covering one eye back straight legs crossed smile and a hair toss with the flick of a wrist the ashes of a cigarette disappear ballerina body sits up straight voice soft demeanor demure so classy he ...

To hell with him. You're better off this way.

Might I suggest reading some Dorothy Parker. It helps me when I'm hurt (or bitter).

Hugs to you! You're going to be ok!

Pip, spill it! What happened, you lucky young lady?

Ahem. I'd like to say I'd ask him for a kiss, but knowing me, i'd mumble something stupid and make an ass out of myself.

I don't know what I'd ask...
