Beautiful women learn a couple of tricks to make themselves non-offensive to other women. One of those tricks is playing dumb and letting the plain janes be the center of attention at social gatherings.
Couple years ago I was at some shindig where there was a beautiful actress. I kind slithered my way over there to check her out. She was hanging back, not saying a word. Not offering anything. About two months later I discovered she went to Oxford for a couple years and actually studied the topic under discussion...
Ok, let me get this straight, I can't say women are like cars, but if I said cars are like women it's hunky dory? I can't say A is like B, but I can say B is like A. Gimme a minute while I decode that one.
I apologize for my lack of poetic license. Money is tight and it was a choice between the poetry license and a fishing license. I just happen to like fishing a lot more than that there poetry stuff.
I still stand by my origianl disclaimer "It's a guy thing. It's how we view things and I'm not going to apologize for thousands of years of genetic refinement."
I bet you were a Porsche back in the day, eh?
LOL...that's why I have remembered it for about a decade.
I love your tagline, too.
I only mention her weight to those who think and say that she is beautiful. That's just laughable.
Guys who just look at the headlights tend to be a specific type of guy...
Yes......... in this case.
Wow! I thought I was the only one who felt that implication...though I also feel that grey seems "richer" than gray--which seems lighter and thinner somehow. I wonder how these feelings became attached to these spellings. Is it because of feelings toward the English (who use the grey spelling) versus Americans (gray is the American English spelling)? (Note that in HTML, only "lightgrey" is spelled with the "e"...because it's inherited from the older, X11 list....which had similar inconsistency in spelling [e.g., "LightSlateGray"].)
There is a shade of gray/grey that I have encountered only thrice...in some fossilized coral from Florida, in a girlfriend's eyes, and in the clouds of a storm. When I saw that storm, 13 years after last seeing that lady, I wrote a poem about it...and I have questioned ever since if it were some other quality than the shade of gray/grey that I saw. It had depth, warmth, softness... I wonder if I will ever see it again (never have found similar coral samples), but I hope I do. No color chits from a paint store ever bore that "hue," though I have looked, in case it were really a blueish-gray/grey or something.
And that's why I ponder the terminology so.
"...a philosopher's curiosity with aestheic appreciation...such is a geologist, for geology is neither science nor art alone. --Thomas Eleri
Yes, apparently the skinny stuff gets some folks wired. Tough..... she's skinny.
I would never ever mention it if there weren't this irrational drumbeat on here that she is beautiful. That's a laugh. Looking at her legs and arms is a serious turnoff.
If anyone wants to see beautiful female bodies look at Olympic divers and figure skaters. Now that's beautiful.
But then again, they probably can't write like Annie.

Yeh.... I'll fill you in on the plants.

Grey has always seemed to me a grey with a bit of blue, like dark rain clouds. To me, it's soothing, cool, and refreshing. Warm gray is gray with a bit of pink added, or yellow. Not so you can visibly see the pink or yellow, maybe a tiny bit of beige added. An irritating warm gray, which always puts me at odds.
Colors are interesting and definitely affect emotions and states of mind.
For istance, orange in sunset clouds or flowers I like fine; orange clothes or in signs - Ouch!
Not uncommon at all. I just give 'em a chance, that's all. Then I make a judgement.
Yes....... silly, or, they just miss their mother.
;-)
I always try to "punch my weight." Saves a lot of lost time and heartbreak. Except in SF, then all rules are off.
I was hoping someone would quote some of those.
...or they live completely in their own heads.
Why do we think this, though? What made us associate the English spelling with bluish, and the American spelling with pinkish or lighter? Is it because old grey had blue in it, and we associated it with older, English (Old World) things, while modern things are lighter and brighter (more "American")?
Here's hoping she didn't study it with Clinton.
doubtful. too young.
