volcanic's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- tip top top tip Did you know... ... that somewhere out there in the wide, blue yonder there's a man who's hoping he's going to meet a lovely woman soon. He's hoping that she's tall, and voluptuous and gorgeous in a warm and open way, rather than gorgeous in a scarily super-modell-y type of way. He's hoping that she's intelligent and well-read and witty in a slightly off-the-cuff and irreverent sort of fashion. He's hoping that she has bizarre interests that match his own- maybe she can quote the rude bits of Shakespeare (" Even now a big black ram is tupping my white ewe"- Othello), or tell him the name of not only the cat on the old opening credits of Coronation St (Frisky) but ALSO the name of the dog that found the World cup when it got nicked (Pickles). He's probably thinking how nice it would be if his dream woman had a penchant for assertive footwear, like knee-high bike boots and big, phat Buffalo trainers. In his wilder moments, he imagines her in those funky Maharishi-esque trousers with the natty Chinese embroidery up the back of the legs, and flirty little dresses and silver bikinis. He relishes the thought of her gorgeous pasta and salad combos, of drinking red wine with her, taking her out dancing, and coming home at 11, because they're both too old to party that hard anymore, and besides, it's more fun sometimes to dance to cheesy old records in the living room than shout over the music in smoky bars. He's looking forward to staying up half the night watching videos, only not really watching them, because the conversation's more interesting, and funny, and anyway, he can't take his eyes off her for more than a few moments, because he's captivated by the way her nose crinkles when she laughs and the way her eyes sparkle and get greener when she's talking intensely. He's hoping that she helps him make sense of what some of the big questions in life are all about, and that he can fill in a few of the gaps in her view of the world, too. Most of all, he's hoping that she's just out there, somewhere... (Top Tip: If you recognise his description, let him know I'm here, and I'm poised for action... oh, and I finished doing my application form, too, so NO pants-kickings for me tonight!) 10:40 a.m. - 16.04.02 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
