Dear Laurelle,

[Pookie]

That day was RAD, wasn't it? I feel sorry for all the folks who missed that epic radness.

Don't you dare ever accidentally reveal the secret clique forum. *wags finger*

 

[trysail]

Agreed. Unless temporary thing like my chlamydia.

I'm thinking I might change mine to:

Sour Puss

Okay— as tempting as that is and as susceptible to temptation as I am—

I'm just not gonna go there.

Day 3 with no new forum: Experiencing difficulties with concentration. Hunger not extrene, children still safe, although corgi begins to appear tasty.

 

[cjh]

You picked Equinoxe?

I'd pick Equinoxe.

What a lovely soul.

 

[lovetoread]

I would like the new forum as well.

Also, kbate's new name should be ireallyamrmb

dunno, there are so many names and good memories in there

I want to change my name to LTR but I am worried about all the people who talk about being in a LTR all the time on these boards.

Dear Laurel,

It occurs to me that even though I have been here a very long time indeed, that I truly know next to nothing about our beloved host on this here corner of the interwebs.
Now I know you like kitties bouncing on trampolines, and you have tattoo tights, and you like chucks , but other than that I don't know much else.
What makes Laurel tick? What are her dreams and aspirations?
What kinds of music does she like? Movies? Turn ons? Turn offs? Measurements? Has she ever danced with the devil in the pale moon light? Does she know if they speak English in What?
These are just a few of my curiosities about our resident feline matriarch.


I know I probably should have started my own thread here, but I did not want to add yet another Dear Laurel thread and have people clamor for a Dear Laurel subforum.

 

[Equinoxe]

No vanity searching here. No, not one bit. I wouldn't dream of it.

You picked Equinoxe?

My name came about because it was what happened to be playing when I registered and couldn't think of a name. As I've mentioned before, if I had waited just a little bit longer, I could have been Theme from Dexter's Laboratory.

No, but she was planning a change. Who would change a perfect name?

And so I didn't change my name. It is who I am here, and to that end, I am quite pleased with it.

Agreed. Unless temporary thing like my chlamydia.

Well, actually, it was going to be Spes Phthisica.

Although there was a spin-off forum of the AH many years ago where I was Mellifluous Portmanteau.

Oh I love it!

For a brief time I was Osphena Von Pule.

Dear Laurel,

It occurs to me that even though I have been here a very long time indeed, that I truly know next to nothing about our beloved host on this here corner of the interwebs.

Elephants!

and you have tattoo tights, and you like chucks ,

I do love tights and leggings. And I'm a fan of sneakers - Chucks, Nizzas, New Balance, Air Force Ones. And boots. Big black boots.

What makes Laurel tick?

*listens closely* It's either my heart or the timer on my iPhone.

What are her dreams and aspirations?

I came into this world as poor white trash. Like most blue-collar kids, I had very small dreams - which I shot past by a mile. At this point, I just hope things stay as they are until I die - hopefully a long long time from now.

What kinds of music does she like?

I looove music. Without my Walkman (pre-ipod, kids!) I wouldn't have survived my shitty teenage years.

I like stuff with heart. I grew up listening to The Smiths and The Cure, then Fugazi and Quicksand and Korn, then Radiohead and Heatmiser and Jawbreaker. Still love Jawbreaker, still love Morrissey. Last few days I've been listening to We Were Promised Jetpacks a lot. Love live music. Saw Korn last year (or maybe the year before? time flies), they were amazing of course. Favorite lives in recent years: Die Antwoord, Of Monsters and Men, New Order, Moools.

Movies?

Coincidentally my friend and I were discussing our favorite directors a couple weeks ago. Since then I've been trying to think of who my top 5 directors are. Currently, it's:

Sion Sono
Coen Brothers
Lars von Trier
Wes Anderson
Paul Thomas Anderson

and there's tons others I'm missing (Gaspar Noe, Miike Takashi, off the top of my head), but those are 5 who are consistently brilliant.

I loooove movies. I looove documentaries. I loove dark comedies. I loooove movies with bite and edge.

Turn ons?

Kindness. Politeness. A genuine interest in the world. Sense of humor. People who apprecite teh silly.

Turn offs?

Negativity. Rudeness. People who mistake cruelty for strength.

Measurements?

I dunno, honestly. 5'4". 115 lbs. 34b. Size 8 shoe. Ludicrously long arms and legs, short torso, like a big albino spider.

Has she ever danced with the devil in the pale moon light?

Never. I'm a poor (but very enthusiastic) dancer.

Does she know if they speak English in What?

Nope, I do not know.

 

[spacekowboy]

Holy crap it is an elephant!

 

[spacekowboy]

Also, thank you for answering my plethora of stupid questions. You rock like tidepools.


We'd go round and round about The Cure, though. and I'd add Christopher Nolan to that list of directors. But both Paul Thomas Anderson and Wes Anderson are awesome. As are the Coens.



Unfortunately duty calls now so I must R-U-N-N-O-F-T.

 

[Equinoxe]

Oh I love it!

For a brief time I was Osphena Von Pule.

Oh, lovely!

I quite liked it, too. It was an inside joke with a friend of mine—I had actually used that phrase in a conversation with her about someone's name, which I characterised as not a particularly mellifluous portmanteau.

 

[Laurel]

Holy crap it is an elephant!

To be fair, a cat-sized one!

Also, thank you for answering my plethora of stupid questions. You rock like tidepools.

Back atcha. It was fun, though I wish I could write wittier answers.

CHRISTOPHER NOLAN yes, absolutely. Also Errol Morris - because I mentioned docs but didn't include a docu director.

Unfortunately duty calls now so I must R-U-N-N-O-F-T.

 

[scrymettet]

Elephants!.

take care of what you are asking

 

[kbate]

I am willing to compromise to prevent the possible Lit GB shutdown:

If you give us the All evesdream, all naked, all day forum, I can drop both my righteous hatred of stickies and my request for a closed at 500 forum.

Deal?

Yeah, Laurel. Give KBATE everything she asks for!

That is so unfair!

*kicks dirt*

Ouch! Fuck that hurt! Fuckin' frozen ground! In November!
