What does someone tell you you are bad at?


the liberties they take, i wouldn't put that like that, it's the passif-aggressif approach, i didn't see that early but there's that dead end street for you, the MIL was best at that, i saw the oldests sil talking like that too, (ignoring hubs growing habit of that)
always talking in negatively positioned questions, "you never do that?" sort of assumptions
btw questions are a tool of retarding everything imo, there's always going to more, and more silly questions

some silly theory of me: there's two sorts of people, those who see and hear (another spectrum?)
and those who have to be told, they see words as being truther than what you see and hear and feel
actually the education system is for them, learn by heart, repeat often for words becoming facts,
their speach is designed to avoid thought, they'll put their internal dialog on you if there's nothing else left and always,
always speak through silence even when pointing out how silent it is for lengths

with friends you can share a silence
most others want to drill holes in your brain with words
(for attention and reassurance? but how can i give that if you're bombing me?)
ohoh
same question

I really enjoy Shakespeare as well (primarily his tragicomedies). I liked Much Ado and The Comedy of Errors quite a bit but I can't remember the convoluted plots any more. I've been thinking of rereading some of my favourites.


If there was only left in the world one of each of our equally then favoured types of Shakespeare's works ~ that would make the honour for me of being a gentleman really really really suck :lol:

I haven't seen any film adaptations of Wuthering Heights because I've read the synopses and they downplay the psychopathy involved, in favour of mass-marketing a love story. I don't see WH as a love story whatsoever, but rather a tale of narcissism and violence. In this case I clearly prefer the book. Likewise I've seen a few adaptations of Jane, but again the entire Bertha Mason story was so watered-down it was nearly non-existent. This eliminated the suspense in favour of romance (arrgggh), and missed the entire theme of the novel (self-expression).


I met a young lady several times in my late teens and early twenties who was seriously and university stylie into Wuthering Heights and the Bronte sisters, who thought the film was, "An insult to the injury of it ever having been made!", and made pretty much the same analysis on it you have. Also ~ the Bertha Mason fade was covered in 'a making of' documentary too about an older film and a new television series adaptation some time back. I know my mother watched it too because we discussed it, and watched the television version. She forgets sometimes that I had read her whole library as a child, with it being full of serious reading material. My childhood was well facilitated for as far as the getting going with reading at home thing went.

If you choose to read WH please let me know. We can have a book club as I've read it at least once a year for my entire adult life. Re: Charlotte, her best work in my opinion was Villette. You may wish to consider it.


The choice to read JE, WH and Villette has already been made. The consideration was finalised yesterday ~ as I Googled to recall the name of the Bronte book I had read, and those three stood out all aglow. It is just a case of getting them now and fitting them into the reading list. I have got three books on the go at the moment, and my inner critic keeps on and on and over and over again firing up with them, so they're quite hard going. Anyways ~ thank you for your confirmatory suggestion.

Cheers.


Cheers ~ definitely, major bonus. :D



OOOHHH How exciting! Let me know when our book club is starting. I'd be happy to read any again. I'm on a bio of Branwell at present but can finish straight away when you receive your books. I'd suggest the Oxford editions as they have excellent introductory essays.

I'm bad at sports and anything physical like that.

(Remember to only let there be one question on the go at a time.)

If an alien spaceship showed up and wanted you to come to their planet with them, would you go?

If I could take my dog, and be back by dinner (like The Wizard of Oz).

Would you?

I have two cats, a PTSD support dog, and one beta fish (I usually have several fish).

Do you like riding horses?

Pretty tidy to an extreme, although I used to be messy.

What is your least sensitive sense?
