I'M GOING TO MARRY YOU.

And we'll keep a harem of well-forearmed menfolk about the house.

[lalumena]

I AM HIGHLY AMENABLE TO THIS CONCEPT. :D

[artic_fox]

As expected, this entry is perfection. I do not despair for you. I ENCOURAGE YOU and your wicked forearms ways. I am already converted, I assure you, but this was a lovely treat.

And then takes a nap from being really really exhaustingly good-looking.

Oh, Richard, truer words have never been typed.

[lalumena]

Milo was especially chosen with you in mind. ;) Hope it cheered you up a little?

Heheh.

[artic_fox]

Very definitely. There was bonus Milo shirtlessness - happy days!

[lalumena]

:D :D :D

See, this is why I need to move to England. Or any British location! Because I know these things, but I forget. I shall see if I can make amends for such a failure of Britishness...

[phadria]

dude, reading your picspam of love

i thought our nations finest asset would never be appreciated because we are all so painfully modest and stiff upper lip about our bountiful crop of beautiful forearms. That's what really sets us apart from the rest of europe. That and the english channel. And the v. gorgeous forearms

which i now too have a thing for.
i blame RA for this too.
honestly, the man erotisises everything; forearms, gloves, stabbing...
the cotton industry...

[lalumena]

Haha, glad you enjoyed it! I am not quite as fixated on forearms as this picspam might make me seem, I swear! See also; the Hair Spam. I just...enjoy making silly picspams. ;)

HAAHAHAHAAAA OH MAN, I LOVE THIS XD!!
They are multi-purpose. They communicate authority yet approachability and youthfulness. By rolling up his sleeves here, Irwin says "I am in touch with the youth of today. I sit on their metaphorical patch of grass."
HAHAAAAA oh I really need to see that movie.

But yes, forearms are magical, and the British really do have the best! Maybe it's in how they know exactly how to use them ;).

[lalumena]

I think I am too pretentious for my own good, haha. ;) You should see the movie, yes. If only to drool enviously at them being able to apply for Oxford and Cambridge. And the script is great, really great.

I do love the English. ♥ Top literature, top costume dramas, top humour, top forearms. What else could you want?

[lalumena]

:D They might look at you funny if you gave that as a reason on your visa though... ;)

[roselet]

[lalumena]

You and me both, haha. Imagine giving that as a reason as you come through the airport.
"What will you be doing while you're here in London?"
"Appreciating English forearms."

Yup. I'm doing a year of Latin (2nd year) and Greek (first year) this year before I go on to do honours next year though, in the hope of getting better marks. And that's not nosy at all! You're doing a BA at the moment, aren't you?
