the estela appreciation thread

poor estela

Cockblocking is a most asshole maneuver BUT it is useful in Scrabble to keep others from getting the triple words scores & c. (That is what my gang calls it anyway.)

sometimes it's the swain's proprietary air and the snarling looks he gives his friends, like a cat under a table guarding a sausage, that is the true blocker in this scenario, but the friends get unfairly blamed because the swain lacks self-awareness.

I love estela's ways.

freaky ways

I led a girl on for a long time whom I liked as a friend but I really didn't want to make sweet love to her. Eventually I got married to someone else and she got really angry at me and wrote a "book" of sorts wherein I was the evil antagonist who kills her lover, etc.

These boundary kinds of things do need to be made clear, I have learned.

srsly shes got that way of writing that simultaneously makes you want to write like she does and makes you understand that you will never ever be that good.

martina amis

actually she's a lot funnier than mart's been lately

You're a friend of everyone!

Olden but golden:

I had a dream last night that I was chatting to my puppy after he had returned from a walk with Mr. estela.
Me (happy high-pitched squeaky voice): Harry! what did you do on your walk?
Harry (cheery puppy voice): I chased a bird and some crabbits!
Me: Crabbits??!!
Harry: Yes, some crabbits!

-- estela, Thursday, 3 April 2003 21:23 (5 years ago) Bookmark Link

When I told Mr. estela about my dream he asked enviously, 'What did his voice sound like?' and I said, 'Oh, you know'.

I hate it when I finally send emails to people I owe an email to and they send a huge long reply five minutes later, putting me straight back into debt. It's discouraging and leads to longer and longer silences from me.

and then when the calf of incisive truth comes careening at full speed toward you, you won't instinctively step back but will trudge to the upper pasture, corner the calf, and carry that massive animal back to the barn in your arms, exclaiming in amused disgust, "internet pals!"

See, yeah, that was brilliant, but srsly, if I were estela I'd just start saying dull things all the time on purpose so people wouldn't do that so much. Not that I really have that problem.

Could this be yet another false alarm from the bureau of metereology? Nothing's happened yet.

Apparently, 75% of office workers have a "workplace spouse" - a fellow employee that you have an intense relationship with due to the fact that you spend most of your working week together, and whom you would try to protect to ensure that they remain close to you and in the relationship. And I presume the gender that you're attracted to.

I think I have one of these workplace spouses and our relationship has been getting weirder in recent times to the point of outright flirting.

In short: HOW TO COPE

Also, in a previous phrases-you-hate thread I mentioned hating "Can I get..." when asking for something. The only time it should be used is by a Southern Baptist preacher asking for an Amen.

Hi. I've tried to clean up my act, and in spite of the occasional grievous error (which I've profusely apologised for) such as JFC.jpg, I think I'm largely succeeding. Whether this is a sign of belated maturity or a reaction to the sword of Damocles imminently pendant over my very ILX existence remains to be seen; I'd rather hope to think it's the former, but if SB has had a positive effect, it HAS been to impress the value of thinking before posting with somewhat more assiduousness than I'd been exercising beforehand. 3 SBs gained in the past 4 months (at last count; can this please be updated in case I've caused any significant offence in the past few days), as opposed to 90 in the previous half-year, bears testament to this. I'm seriously trying to stave off the remaining nine, even indefinitely, if I can.

Anyhow, enough of the self promotion. I've been banned from 77 since before my temp ban, following an offence that although serious (reposting a non-77 user to 77) I think I've served enough time for. I maintain I was made something of an example of, and also maintain that my offence was borne out of stupidity rather than malice, stupidity which I am slowly weaning out of my system. This sort of self-analysis can come over a bit jerkish so I won't press my case any further, but it'd be cool if you could let me back onto 77 kthx :)

i need to have kevin k. explain that one to me later

yeah if by 'have' you mean lick and by 'explain that one to me' you mean my balls

that doesn't really scan

i need to lick k3vin k; my balls

the sentiment, though, i whole-heartedly applaud, as refutation of Estela's gift for wordiage does indeed deserve a sampling of your balls.

last week we went to uluru (aka ayers rock) and we went to a night talk given by an astronomer (the stars out there are famously amazing) but all these clouds suddenly appeared halfway through and the astronomer got really angry and called the clouds 'sonsofbitches', i was overjoyed.
