I was all torn up inside... and there was no room in my life for flan anyway.

This thread is about how delightful it is when friends take liberties.

Oh! I hardly know where to begin, I feel all squiggly just thinking about it. Like when I was asleep one morning and my friend Karen came in to my room, eating some toast, and having no plate, she used my arm.

Or the time when I was all upset and doing the polka about something, and while she was soothing me and offering her heart once again over to my side, she was quietly eating my dinner out from under my nose.

When friends say, "hey I wanna tell you a secret..." and so you lean over and they burp in you ear. Or they see just how hard they can hit you with a chopstick before you go, "HEY!". when they write their name all over your schoolbooks with nailpolish.

When friends use your legs or shoulder as a pillow, or feel close enough to you that they can borrow your panties. When you come home late at night and find all your flatmates curled up in your bed waiting for you. When they have finished their ice cream and say, "gizzus your ice cream now".

How vulgar.

― Simon, Sunday, 14 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i hate when my friends jizz in my ice cream.

― ethan, Sunday, 14 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Vulgar? No, no! You dont understand... or are you mocking me?

― rainy, Sunday, 14 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I guess Rainy wanted everyone to have a chance to gush about their friends cos she thought that everyone would want to, but you're all too shy. Me too but Rainy has cool hair.

― maryann, Sunday, 14 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

No, YOU do, Pretty.

― rainy, Sunday, 14 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I like when daisy s fall gently in my alcove..I gather them for the fairies. They make them into dreams...right now, you could be far away and dreaming

― Mike Hanle y, Sunday, 14 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

'Squiggly' is my new word for the week. Thank you Rainy!

― turner, Sunday, 14 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I like it when my friends tell me to shut the hell up and punch me really hard.

― Tracer Hand, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I think you're being sarcastic, Tracer Hand, but that's pretty much exactly what I mean.

― rainy, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

It's when they tell me to shut the hell up and *don't* punch me that I am affronted.

― Tracer Hand, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Are you being serious with my little Myshkin T.Hand? Or not?

― maryann, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I find vulgar that your friends would do that to you.

― Simon, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

As I squashed his face into funny shapes, my dad used to sometimes laugh and say to me "I'M NOT A TOY!". It strikes me that rainy's friends use her as a toy. What larks! Rainy sounds too good to be true.

― Nicxk, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Who needs Amelie when you have Rainy?

― Tom, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I would imagine if they were making a waxwork model of Mr Bean Rainy wouldn't cut the mustard - only Amelie will do.

― Pete, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I like being a pillow, rubbing hair and having mine rubbed, and posing on each other in the halls. The nice thing about friends eating your food (and one of them always does) is that they have to share, too. mwahahaha. And saying how you really feel when someone asks how you are is lovely but you can't do that with everyone because most people mean it as a pleasantry. Also, stupid nicknames and embarrassing things that resurface every few months.

― Maria, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

BORROW YOUR PANTIES? Good god. I am scared to death of that notion.

― Ally, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Well, whats a pair of freshly laundered panties between friends?

― rainy, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Eeeew. What if they have a yeast infection? Herpes? Plus - it's someone else's bits down there. Arrrrrgh. Sorry, but I am just not that type of girl. No one is borrowing my panties unless they are planning on wearing them on their heads, which I support.

My friends do things like boil eggs in my house and leave them tucked under piles of paper, whatever the hell that means.

― Ally, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Well, I totally understand, it does sound vulgar I guess. It's not like we do it for fun though, like a Panty Swapping Jamboree or anything, it's just nice to know that you'll never have to have a bare butt if you have a pajama party and forget your panties. Rules of health and hygeine are always adhered to.

― rainy, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

No, see, I'm serious. Men don't often use each other as pillows or borrow each others' panties (which is a shame) but to make up for it we will punch each other. The harder the better. It may not sound very friendly but it's a liberty my friends and I take with each other that we all understand we would only allow with someone close. Bub. *punch*

― Tracer Hand, Monday, 15 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Who is Amelie?

― rainy, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Will I sound like a dirty old man if I demand that pictures of a Panty Swapping Jamboree be posted AS SOON AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE?

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Sure and sure. I'll call the knickers brigade and get out my spice-cam. Who is Amelie?

― rainy, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

oopsadaisy never mind I just found the thread.

― rainy, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

How do you go anywhere and forget your panties though?

― Ally, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

amelie is the name of a film: the girl in it is superhumanly nice to everyone and secretly works to make their dreams come true (= complimentary dimension, rainywise); unfortunately on the film posters she more than somewhat resembles mr bean, as has severasl times been noted

in dunedin as far as i can see, ally, such behaviour is positively encouraged

― mark s, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

It would be nice to make peoples dreams come true. There was a tv show where people did that, and I used to get a teeeeeny bit choked up when I saw it.

It would be easy to forget your panties or your toothbrush or your Madonna records if you were overly excited about staying at a friend's house for a PJ party.

― rainy, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Incidentally my Amelie joke was not implying that Rainy looks like Mr Bean, it was that Rainy is a blithe elfin spirit who brings happiness to the people of Dunedin and ILE-land. I do not know what Rainy looks like. In fairness she might look like Mr Bean but now I have the thought of Mr Bean in hotpants to contend with so that will teach me to be a smartarse.

― Tom, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i prefer to think rainy looks like nausicaa (of: of the valley of wind, fame.) but hey, to each his own tom. ;)

― jess, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Actually Rainy DOES look like an elf! And even kind of like Emily Watson, though she has short hair. Well she has big eyes anyway and kind of a small face. And because she is quite small she has a small neck; I told her that about one week ago and she said 'Well why don't you snap my head off then.'

― maryann, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

That was one of the funniest things I've ever said, I believe. theres a picture of me on the picture thred. But maybe you prefer to have your own ideas, I don't mind at all.

― rainy, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

http://www.studioghibli.net/nausicaa/images/Nausic02.jpg = rainy?

(keep in mind rainy, nausicaa = major roXor and rowr for me.)

― jess, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

the picture thread is vast and daunts my computer and i dare not go there :…(

― mark s, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

damnit. well, just follow the link anyway.

― jess, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

that was aimed at my piddling html scales, not mark, btw. (for the picture thread also likes to crash my 'puter.)

― jess, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

scales = skills. i need a drink.

― jess, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I have dilemma re. picture thread. Do I

- look at home? Thus leading to computer sloth.

- look at work? Thus leading to "who is that?" comments from colleagues.

- neither? Thus leading to identification of posters with 'rubber- faced' comedian R.Atkinson.

― Tom, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

IF YOU WANT TO PRESERVE YOUR FANTASIES, DON'T GO HERE

― maryann, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I MEAN, DON'T GO HERE

― maryann, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

two months pass...

Because she is wearing a black hat I have an image of rainy as having dark hair, but I hear she does not.

― N., Thursday, 20 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

one year passes...

I like the friends whom I can tell some minor (or major) disappointment and instead of being all serious and patronizing me they laugh in my face. It takes the edge off.

― felicity (felicity), Sunday, 13 April 2003 22:15 (twenty-two years ago)

look its jess trying to mack on rainy!!

― st (simon_tr), Monday, 14 April 2003 04:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, whats a pair of freshly laundered panties between friends?
-- rainy (isitagir...), October 15th, 2001.

A really good friend wouldn't demand clean panties.

eeewwwww, stop that this instant!
