pinterest is many things, mainly its a bit on the addictive side :pac:
ive gotten some great ideas from it and discovered some mad sh^t!

the best thing is, it doesnt matter what youre into or want to use it for, like a huge online scrapbook of pics, recipies or funny stuff. sharing art or craft ideas, or style and fashion or just for sharing cute pet pics you find etc.. i even have a board of funny autocorrect pics (iphone) and nostalgia stuff from my y00f or however the kids spell it these days.

now, off to watch some stephen king:cool:

Did you ever wish you had no morals or conscience? Be nice occasionally.

yes, it'd be nice to be able to tell people to go and have hanky panky with themselves at times, or to be able to ignore the injustice or cruelty you see (without feeling guilty) because you're too streatched as it is etc

It would be!

It would also be great if we didn't have feelings sometimes. I might just try convince myself I'm a robot like Fry in Futurama :pac:

Fry: Fear not: I shall assist ye.
Hermes Conrad: Robots don't say "ye"!
Fry: Relax, mammal. My robotic software shall meet your calculatory needs. What is the meaning of this symbol?
Hermes Conrad: That's a plus sign, ya pointy-haired loony! Quit thinking you're a robot!
Fry: I'll show ye!

Anyone in here ever seen the film Beautiful Thing? I just finished watching it there for the first time, and it is such a brilliant, uplifting and realistic film. I'd strongly recommend that anyone watch it. You can get it off Amazon for like a fiver.

The basic premise is that two young lads from a London council estate slowly start to develop feelings for each other and their lives are tracked as their friendship develops into something more.

The dialogue and the performances from the two leads are brilliant, as are the supporting characters. Well worth a watch.

I took a look at the trailer there actually. I remember seeing that film on RTÉ nearly 8/9 years ago. I must have been 12 at the time watching it. I actually remember being able to relate to it a bit. Now that I think about it, it may have been around the that time that I began to discover my attractions, however I think it wasn't until I was about 15 that I suspected that I was actually gay. I must watch it again, should bring back some memories.

So gave blood last night for the 7th time Felt the usual groggy after, but good. Then found it's not as easy to do things that require lots of skill afterwards.

Then had another interview again today. Maybe I should just set up my own company advising people on how not to do an interview :P

agh interviews, i hated the questions like 'what salary would you expect?' - and these days if you answer the 'what are your weaknesses?' theyre wise to the turning a weakness into a positive thing.

giving blood- good on you. i tried to do that and they said i cant. poo. its a rarer type too. meh.

I remember it being quite good, but haven't seen it in a few years. I'll have to re-watch it.

Have you seen Presque Rien (Come Undone in English)? It's a similar gay coming-of-age story, but French so therefore sexier I'd recommend it if you enjoyed Beautiful Thing.

Googled it there. Very nudey I must say.

Yeah, I know. The cover or Google images aren't fully indicative of the film, though (fortunately/unfortunately, whichever way you want to look at it). It's a really good movie, though. Very touching. I think that French arthouse movies just have to have a minimum number of semi-nude screenshots before they're allowed to be released.

So exciting, Saoirse Ronans new vampire movie is filming beside my house today! I can see the tea station from my room. I keep peeking out hoping to see her. (Hey, she's 18 in April!)

Legal age is 17 in Ireland Just go down for a gawk and be nosey, they might even give you tea :P

baby and crumble

Yeah but I like to err on the side of caution in case!

Sadly I have to write a website today, so no gawking at chicks for B&C.

This is a dead thread! This thread is no more! It has ceased to be! It has expired and gone to meet its maker! This is a late thread. It's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If you hadn't bumped it up it would be pushing up the daisies. It has run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible! This is an ex-thread!

Captain Graphite

Now, I've noticed a tendency for this thread to get rather silly. Now I do my best to keep things moving along, but I'm not having things getting silly. Those last two conversations I read got very silly indeed. And that last post about the thread being dead was even sillier.

Now, nobody likes a good laugh more than I do, except perhaps my wife and some of her friends. Oh yes, and Captain Johnson. Come to think of it, most people like a good laugh more than I do, but that's beside the point.

Now, let's have a good, clean, healthy outdoor thread. Get some air into your lungs. Ten, nine, eight and all that...

Nay, it is a Holy Thread.

O Lord, bless this Thy Holy Thread that with it Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits -- in Thy mercy. And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals and fruit bats.

Now thou shalt count to three, no more, no less, three being the number of the counting.
