Blue Chamber

A Place for Dreaming

Uh-oh

Thursday, 27. March 2008, 08:49:15

, ,

Fans of people (namely, me) becoming lighter, fitter and more beautiful should be advised: there is next to NO chance that I have lost any weight this week. My weekly exercise has decreased, while my food intake has definitely increased. Over Tuesday and Wednesday night Ranald and I spent our evenings co-operatively tackling Lego Star Wars II (Original Trilogy) on the Gamecube while scoffing shop-bought Pizza and takeaway Special Fried Rice respectively, and quaffing moderate quantities of wallet-friendly non-apple ciders.

This is not how people lose weight.

Thus, I am preparing myself for a Gain. Hopefully only a pound, but it feels to my keen body-sense like there may be more - they do say that when weight comes back it does so with reinforcements...:wait:

PS: I'm not sure I'm happy with my new banner image. Expect it to change shortly.

Keep it down...your sea-faring father has been suitably shocked.

Nah, my Dad has spent so long thinking I was gay I'm sure he'd be delighted to see me shacked up with Ms Jolie. "Sowing my wild oats", etc.

I'm not gay, by the way, just very happy. :wink:

He thinks you made a poor choice. Ms. Jolie is all bones these days.

Is she? Hmm. To be honest I haven't seen any photos of her lately, or any films she's been in. I'll have to track some down. But there definitely is such a thing as too thin, and if she's gone that way then maybe I need to get myself a new fantasy woman...?

Holy crap. She's WAAAY too skinny these days! :yikes:

Sorry, Ange, you're dumped as my fantasy woman. Pitt can keep you.

Now, who am I going to fantasise about next? :confused:

Pick someone with nice feet and cute belly button.

Salma Hayek?

She talks a lot, in a coarse voice and a heavy accent.

...but cute feet and belly button, right?

Just forget movie stars...

What about Porn stars?

Your dad thinks that would be a strategic mistake. His original words were: "Bloody hell!"

By solid copper, # 29. March 2008, 14:24:59

Hmm. You're not leaving me many options here. I might just have to give up on a fantasy woman for a while. Pity there aren't any real women around with nice feet and cute belly buttons...awww

You have incredibly narrow visions in such matters. All those fantasy women stood in your way in finding real happiness.

Perhaps concentrate on weight loss for now and things might open up in the future once you change your mindset.

Got to run - have another clandestine meeting with your dad on strategic issues.

You have incradibly narrow visions in such matters

Perhaps I do...but perhaps I'm deliberately narrowing my vision for comedic effect. P:

those fantasy women stood in your way

:eek: Bitches! :irked:

Perhaps concentrate on weight loss for now

Will do. Another two months, maybe three. Then I focus on something else. (Hint: it has two wheels and goes very very fast...)

things might open up in the future once you change your mindset

You're very sweet to worry about me, but there's really no need. If I'd wanted a woman/girlfriend/romance, I could have had one by now. I'm currently single by choice: there are things I wanted/needed to do first. The time isn't right yet, but it will be...soon.

Oh, and this thing you have with my Dad...that's gotta stop. If only to stop Mum getting jealous. :wink:

I am not worried about you; your dad does.

Oh, and this thing you have with my Dad...If only to stop Mum getting jealous.

Only MI5 or MI6 might worry about this "thing". Anyway, I'll tell him not to worry - he takes issue with your love of a beard.

At least MINE doesn't grow in ginger! (He's blonde!)

He said your mum liked his. And he knows that I am only interested in his ship.

You're a pirate!? :eek:

I have my own fantasy, you know; :D but not the pirate sort. Usually WWII related - I am on the side of the allies of course.
