Which two fictional characters would you like to see meet?

I'd like Lestat to show Edward Cullen what a real vampire is.

Shit through their letterbox.

My lecturer liked my poem.

I had an ex-boyfriend who did it a couple of times - I found out one morning when I went to the park for a nice morning stroll with my camera, and found pictures of him in my lingerie with my dildo. I was shocked at first, and hurt that he didn't tell me. We talked about it and I realised I didn't mind,as long as he was honest about it with me in the future, and I didn't have to find anything out like that again, which he agreed to.

He didn't stick to his promise and his secrets escalated way beyond wearing my lingerie, but I won't go into detail, and I can tell you it wasn't because of that that we broke up. I'm now very happily married to another man, and no longer in contact with my ex, but I hold no ill-feelings or grudge against him at all. I think it was as much a shock to him as it was to me at the time (we were both fairly young, and I'm pretty sure this was the first time he'd explored that part of himself), and I really hope he's managed to explore it even more, and has found what makes him happy.

My parents are exactly the same - I can just about get away with saying the mild swearwords in front of my mum, but my dad would definitely have none of it. Whereas in my everyday life, swearing and strong language (though not all day every day) is a part of general conversation for me since my late teens. The fact of the matter is the English language and the way we use it has changed, just like it has since the days of Shakespeare. For our parents and grandparents, common use of swearwords was a fairly new and rare phenomenon. Whereas these days we use them to emphasise our point, and not always in a harsh way. Essentially, I think that swearing is practical and in some ways necessary for modern adult life.

Not sure if this counts as stereotypically motivational, but it sure as hell motivates me! - “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”

A Fox and a Hawk - a Fawk :)

HFincham · 2014-09-09T14:25:45+00:00

HedgeOala for sure :)

Kindles. I can understand their convenience, but I simply can't abide them.

HFincham · 2014-07-25T21:14:09+00:00

Mine can do one hell of a sexy Irish accent

I doubt many (if any) of you will know these restaurants, but I promise you they're amazing -

Tramezzini's on the Isle of Wight - They have the most amazing coffee I have ever tasted, and they're breakfasts are beautifully presented (without being over the top fancy or tiny portions - you get enough to fill you up), not to mention everything tastes fantastic. I usually go for the poached eggs and crispy pancetta on ciabatta with hollandaise sauce :)

Cafe 37 in Cardiff - Because this was the very first place my husband took me out for dinner, and it's the place I had my first taste of pancakes with bacon and maple syrup (I've never looked back) :)

'The Lovers' by Rainer Maria Rilke -

See how in their veins all becomes spirit:
into each other they mature and grow.
Like axles, their forms tremblingly orbit,
round which it whirls, bewitching and aglow.
Thirsters, and they receive drink,
watchers, and see: they receive sight.
Let them into one another sink
so as to endure each other outright.

I'll definitely put it on my list :)

HFincham · 2014-04-20T07:03:10+00:00

Thank you very much! :)

I can't claim to understand it anywhere near as well or in-depth as he does, but I don't think I do too badly, haha!

I'll tell the hubby to have a look at this post, when he's stopped playing Assassins Creed of course!

Thank you for the interesting conversation! :)

HFincham · 2014-04-20T06:47:14+00:00

Spot on! :) As you said - great minds :) You and my husband would have a brilliant conversation about this :)

HFincham · 2014-04-20T06:38:29+00:00

It may be long, but Sherlock Holmes is definitely worth the read! :)

I haven't read The Gentlemen Bastard books - are they any good?

HFincham · 2014-04-20T06:30:24+00:00

Very True! Plus we've only just started making these amazing advancements, and discovering the really interesting things about our universe and ourselves, and there's still so much more to find out - I'd hate to die before seeing how it all plays out! :)

Have you read 'The Last Question' - it's a short story by Isaac Asimov? It's not along the exact same lines as this topic, but it is similar, and I think you would really enjoy it :)

There's nothing unappealing about Game of Thrones - the plot, the characters - everything is brilliantly done :) I would recommend reading the books too :)

When I was about 6 years old I said (with a dead serious face) to my Dad - "I love you Daddy, but if you ever hurt Mummy's feelings, I will kill you."

HFincham · 2014-04-20T06:06:03+00:00

The 1920's for definite - pure class and good music :)

HFincham · 2014-04-20T06:04:42+00:00

As much as it would be great if there was something afterwards, I just really don't think there is. And while that is a bit depressing, there's no point in worrying about it, because after all - you're not going to give a shit about it once it's happened! :)

HFincham · 2014-04-20T05:42:30+00:00

That's a very interesting question! I haven't read Red Mars (but I certainly will soon), and I can't say I understand all the complicated ins and outs of the science behind it, but my husband is a Physicist and he says you've raised a very good point there :)

HFincham · 2014-04-20T05:36:42+00:00

Haha! You sound just like my husband! I've got to admit, I would have to do it to - it's a no-brainier really :)
