And that singular anomaly, the lady novelist

[voiceofsauron]

Just finished Breakfast at Tiffany's and thoroughly recommend it if only for the slightly odd feeling as you end the book. The overriding questions being 'And?' and 'Should I go back and consider the cat more carefully

Wow, your Mum sounds like me.

[voiceofsauron]

Wish I#d taken you out for pizza. So much more fun.... ;)

[scarletdemon]

Hehe. That would have been nice actually. I'm in the mood to go somewhere neutral and to chat to someone I don't *really* know yet. And I think a man would be ideal, because if I told a woman how I'm feeling and why, I'm suspicious that she'd feel smug. Women are competitive and to some extent enjoy the misery of other women.

I have to say, I'm in a bit of turmoil recently. And tonight I had a huge epiphany about someone I know...And I'm not sure if I'll feel the same tomorrow, or in a few days time, but I think I might...And I want to.

Jesus, sorry, I sort of dumped all that on you. Right about now you should feel relieved NOT to have met me for pizza.

I'm free tomorrow evening. Come up to the big smoke. You can even stay over - have a spare bed before anyone gets any ideas.

[scarletdemon]

Awww! That's very sweet of you but I don't think I can. Well, I know I can't.

I'm OK, it's just that sometimes life throws up issues that you can't discuss too much with your nearest and dearest...But if I'm fucked up, I totally did it to myself and I just have to undo it, I guess. I need to give myself a firm talking to.

I really appreciate your offer (pity about the spare bed though, I could have used a nice young lover to cheer me up...heh). I'm extremely touched by your kindness and the next time we meet (probably on a Tube Walk), I shall explain everything. And buy you a pint.

You're so nice.

[voiceofsauron]

Hey - I am serious. Come over, I can cook and could equally use someone unconnected with life to talk to. Besides you make me smile.

[scarletdemon]

Ugh. Torture. I can't. :(

Are you Tube Walking on Sunday? I think I have a pass out of here for that. In fact, we could meet up earlier than 2pm if you like. ;)

[voiceofsauron]

Not tube walking I'm afraid. Am completely booked up Sunday :(

[scarletdemon]

Ah well, we tried. Next time we are out in a group, I'm going to drag you off into a corner for part of the time, so I can get you to myself to talk (and possibly squeeze your muscles a little bit).

And my email addy is on my Info page if you ever need anything, or just want to talk in private. I'm not a bad agony aunt, I may even give you my phone number!

[voiceofsauron]

You really are in a naughty mood aren't you. What has brought this on?

If the answers salacious enough expect almost instant email comeback ;)

[scarletdemon]

Haha! ME?! You're the one who answered "I'd like to have gone for a pizza" with " Come and have dinner, then sleep in my house!". ;)

I'm just flirting and cheering myself (and you) up. You're worried about a friend, I'm trying to make sense of a very complicated friendship I have with someone...We both needed light relief.

And there again, you are very pretty and we never REALLY got a decent conversation, amid all the arm-wrestling and general "shared conversation" of Tube Walking. If we do it again, we should take time to chat. I'd be more salacious but I've just been crying all through the last ever "Six Feet Under", so I'm a bit subdued and thoughtful right now. Women, huh?

[voiceofsauron]

Ahh of course - I confess I just want your body :)

Definately give me a nod when you are back in the big smoke - I notice you didn't make it to the tube walk after all.

[scarletdemon]

Oh lord, I don't think there's much chance you'd enjoy MY body as much as I'd appreciate yours! ;)

When you said you weren't coming to the Tube Walk...I lost the impetus. If that's a real word. I'm pretty sure it is.

I will certainly BEG you to meet me next time I'm in London. I can't tell you how much I'd like that.

[scarletdemon]

And I should add, that was far and away the best offer I've EVER had. I'm so flattered that you would even consider cooking for me.
