Just a hint. Take your picture off of Fetlife. It's not helping.
Ugh! That is terrible. I hate when authors waste or abuse their characters for money, especially when the quality or moral of the story gets completely lost.Ah, it could be worse. I could be dead, I hear that's not fun.
Now, since this is my thread and I can discuss what I damn well please, I'm going to complain about something - namely, a series of books featuring the character Adrian Mole. It's a strictly British thing, but to summarise, the books are his diaries as he grows up from...I want to say 13 3/4, but I can't remember off the top of my head, and his life goes from "fairly rubbish but with bright spots" early on to "unrelenting crushing despair 24/7". Eventually, in the final book he finds happiness and I liked that, it was a nice coda to the series and finally he seems to have a decent life.
I've recently found out the author is writing another book. In it, Adrian's life has gone back to shit - his wife is cheating on him, his daughter dislikes him and he has prostate cancer - and it is bloody depressing that she's brought back a series that should have been allowed to end to squeeze some more cash out of it. It's got the grimmest fucking moral I've seen in any recent series ever, namely "No matter what, life is depressing and you'll all die", so I disapprove and hate it already.
It's a puzzle.
On the one hand, I have the advice of women, who suggest pictures are good. On the accompanying foot is the evidence that, with no picture, I got nowhere.
On the other, I have the suggestion of a delusional old man who appears desperate to relive his quote-unquote glory days but is faced with the increasing realisation that his prime has long since passed and now consoles himself by telling tall tales about things he oh-so-wishes he could have done once upon a time. On the Internet.
Yep, that's a toughie alright. Can I have a few minutes to think it over?
it's just that it's a terrible photo. photos are great, but pretty please post one that doesn't look like you're drunk at your mate's party.
you aren't an ugly guy at all, but that particular photo isn't helping.
The truth hurts.
We can end this if your punk ass agrees to stop seeking my cock in your mouth.
was this directed at moi??? sorry, this internet thing isn't the most precise tool for communication.....so to quote the most annoying politician in history "please explain"??
