And yes, that movie was SO awesome. I saw it on my honeymoon. ^-~
"Better tie up your hair, Violet."
...hey, you're younger than I am! Congratulations on finding love so quickly. ♥
That's a perfect day for me!!
20. Be Kind. Be Open~Minded. Be Open~Hearted. Be Accepting Of Others. Be Genuine. Always Try To See The Positive. That's How I Try To Live My Life And If You Do The Same You'll Definitely Be Showing Love {And Respect} For Me
This is absoulutly wonderful.
And Thank You. I'm Glad You Agree. It's A Fine Philosophy To Have In Life.
And indeed again. I need to work on it a little, though. =P
And as for number 3 on the list, "Compliment Me" - I thought I should tell you that even though I don't know you personally, reading your posts can always cheer me up. :)
Got that...? it gets better- for starter we shared around some kind of chocolate which caused a terrifying ghost story to occur- I was sitting opposite this elderly man (possibly an employee, possibly not real), and a shadow formed on the wall in the shape of a woman with very sharp teeth (you could clearly see the fangs.) We were all quite scared... she abruptly changed into a real-life woman dressed up in a wedding outfit, sitting next to him, saying how happy they were to be married. The scene sort-of shifted into a wedding reception, they were just being toasted when the shadow-woman (3D, this time) appeared floating by the wall- she of course was his recently deceased wife!
Cue much screaming and carrying on. The new bride couldn't half shriek. The room was cleared fairly quickly, but after she'd composed herself the second wife went down a long staircase (you could see this although you were not in the room, like watching television), where there were plaster busts on the bannister. She found one of the first wife and started insulting it, then went to slap it, when it suddenly came to life (a bit like in Return to Oz), and grew hands, caught her wrists and broke them! Don't muck with the dead, I suppose.
OK, there's more and the second part is not that scary and quite sweet, but longer, and I don't want to clog up your page anymore than I have so I'll save it for if you want to hear it.
we had finished that story, then this bizarre damp woman goes floating past, all covered in pondweed. I think, aha! drowning victim- but she appears to be still alive, still human, etc. She goes right out of the ice-cream parlour (we follow) and suddenly it turns into this dingy Victorian canal towpath area; she gets on a passing narrowboat, and it takes her up towards what looks like the direction of a city. It's odd because we see her from above. We lose her at that point, so we talk to some passers-by, who say she's always doing it because she's mad with love etc. weakminded, consumptive, and all that. Stands to reason I suppose.
We later find her asleep and nearly unconscious in a doorway. She is obviously not well, so we take her back and give her some tea and blankets.
Days pass... for some reason we are still in the ice-cream parlour. They don't seem to mind.
She tells us that she is in love with a man whose mother will not let them be together. I'm not sure, but I think it's one of those beyond-the-grave type situations- his mother isn't haunting him specifically, but he has a huge amount of guilt about it which is her fault.
We decide that it can, and will, and should, be overcome. So we tell her to show us where he lives. She can't remember, as she is always technically asleep when she goes to visit him.
So we settle for randomly wandering about instead; she is very forlorn and upset that she will not remember him, and we cannot follow her whilst she's sleepwalking. Then she notices a particular window on an opposite building- the window has bars, but they are bent outwards from the outside. She decides to see if that is the one... had she actually climbed up the wall and broken in?
...but we go in the back way. The back of the house is a windmill, for some reason. More than one person lives in the house, and we surprise several of them as we go up to the upper floors.
She was right, it is the correct house. It doesn't have to make sense I suppose but when he sees that she's real and not a scary wall-climbing ghost, all is well.
It's not a very good explanation, but I thought it was sweet of them. :-)
If you ever find yourself in a similar ice-cream parlour, I recommend the orange-chocolatefudge-toffee 3-scoop ice cream.
*cheers with the 'Down with Mundane'!*
"Be Kind. Be Open~Minded. Be Open~Hearted. Be Accepting Of Others. Be Genuine."
If only there were more people who had such a great attitude. Keep on doing what you do, girl. And keep writing! I really enjoy reading what you have to say. =)
I'm Braith, which is a Welsh name that means "freckled" or "little freckled one," and is a very apt description of me. (I have a whole sprinkling of the darned things all across my cheeks and nose.) I live in Maryland and I'm 25 years old. =) *curtseys* Very pleased to make your acquaintance!
My family is a whole mess of various influences. I have English, Irish, Welsh, maybe some Scottish?, French, and Polish blood, and one grandfather was defintely 100% German. Some parts of my family have been in America for so long that it's hard to trace exactly where they came from -- one of my grandmother's brothers had traced their ancestry back to some French Huguenots that arrived in the late 1600s! I wish I had been old enough/interested enough to read through his research before I moved away from home. (I grew up around Phoenix, and came to Washington, DC for college. And the Maryland suburbs are a much more agreeable place to live than amongst the hustle, bustle, and bad attitudes of DC!) I just don't know that much about it now.
Anyway, would love to join you for tea. We'll have a lovely chat!
::Pours Tea:: Now, Ms, Braith, How Do You Take Your Tea? ::Smiles Sweetly::
Let's see now, tea... I actually prefer it plain (but rather hot!), or with just a bit of Splenda, depending on which type of tea it is. And tea should be accompanied by some kind of cookie or cake or muffin, don't you think? What a perfect way to spend a cold winter's day!
And Yes! Tea Must Be Accompanied By A Tasty Treat Of Some Sort. {I Use Splends Too. And I Usually Take My Tea With Milk.}
How About Some Apple Cinnamon Tea And Fresh Baked Pumpkin Cookies With Semi~Sweet Chocolate Chips?
