The Official Laura Thread!

[Questing Character]

Oh, well, you know me--always glad to be of service...
Oh, and Laura: glad to know we don't have to worry about damaging your sanity!  Remind me to thank Cesar!

Hey, now! We *are* still taking applications for the Fugly Squad. The only requirements are that you think you're fugly and that you have an admirer/worshipper on the forum. Well, Laura thinks she isn't hot, and I assume Grundy admires/worships her, so there you go, close enough.

I was, and still am, totally appalled with the idea of the Fugly Squad.  It's a farce, and I think the women here are far too beautiful to belong to such a "squad".  As long as I continue to adore the women here, I will never ever accept or support it.  

[Jeysie]

Ahh. We ladies are not allowed to feel a lack of self-esteem or such, but you are allowed to indulge in regular displays of such?

My dear sir, I do sense a small amount of hypocrisy on your part.

(In other words, I'm going to kick you everytime you put *yourself* down if you complain about us doing it. )

Peace & Luv, Liz

[Grundy]

Lol you two!

So if I start admiring/worshiping James, we can admit him into the Female Fugly Squad?!  

You know, after all these posts, we were talking about it last night, she still didn't think she was that HOT...
I reminded her, ofcourse, that she's my sexy girl... and she's now slowly accepting it, because now it's not just me saying it all the time!  

It was the same thing with her Hair. I said for 3 years straight, "cut it short", and she only did it after a few other friends said "yeah, you'd look great with short hair"...  grrrr.... ( Now she never wants to go long again! )

Or how it took a few years to convert her to EarlGrey tea... she never drank it, then one day, "Wow, I love earl grey, annita made me try it today.... etc etc..."

Well, now I can add to the list,
"You're not Fugly! Damnit!  YOU'RE HOT AS!"

Maybe a hint of hypocrisy, but you don't see me creating/joining some sort of Fugly Squad.  (Even if Jon does worship me in some sick, demented, twisted way. )


And yes, Jon.  I've said it to you before, and I've said it to your ladyfriend before, Laura is gorgeous.  So hot, in fact, I've forgotten completely what you look like.  I'm so -less.

And her not being influenced by you just means she loves you.  Women never want to seem to believe you (not you-you, but the general "you") because they think you're biased.  So incorrigable!

*runs away to avoid a beating from the ladies*
*thinks*
*runs back to obtain a beating from the ladies*
RAWR!

Yes, women are very strange...
You tell them what you think, and they don't accept it or tell you that you're wrong, even if you genuinely mean it! lol!

And, if you then start telling them what they WANT to hear, then you're still wrong, and mean for telling them such a thing! ARGH!  

Example.

Laura:  "Do you think these clothes will be fine for my Job interview?"

Now, note how she says "will be FINE?"
Ok, so here are my 2 options, either way, I lose... lol

Option 1,
Jon: "Yes they're fine." ( Me being honest. )

Laura: "No! Don't say they're just FINE! ROARRRRR!"

See, for some reason, if women ask a yes or no question, they wont accept a yes or no answer! hehehe...
 

Option 2,
Jon: "No, your bum looks fat in them, why don't you wear your black pants instead of jeans." ( Me telling her what SHE WANTS TO HEAR! When I really think she looks sexy either way. )

Laura: "Hey! You're so mean! Do you think I'm FAT!? ROARRRRR!"

And again, see how I just can't win? Even though I normally tell hew what I honestly think, that she's gorgeous and what-ever she wears, she is still my sexy girl,  I get in trouble...  lol

You girls are a strange bunch. ( Isn't that right Laur? )
 


 
 

PS:

Grundy ALSO

[J-ROC]

You learn quickly about the beatings from ladies, young Padawan.

And uh, dude, third option:

"No honey, you look better than fine.  Better than absolutely gorgeous in that attire.  You might not get the job because you're going to distract them with your beauty.  Sooo hot...dang it, let's have a quickie..."

[Grundy]

Haha! I'll try that next time!
 

[Laur]

So how come james knows exactlly what every woman wants to hear and still after 4 years jon can't work it out?!!
ARGGGHH!!

[Grundy]

Lol, didn't I say we're just like a married couple?  

This is where say will be a few years from now...
"Does my Fugly bum look fat in this!? ROARRRRR!"


 

[Yonkey]

Laura:  "Do you think these clothes will be fine for my Job interview?"

I would have just said "sure".  

[Grundy]

That is one of my many 1 word answers to that question.
Fine
Sure
Great
Yep
Yes
etc etc...

 

So how come james knows exactlly what every woman wants to hear and still after 4 years jon can't work it out?!!
ARGGGHH!!

Just cause you love James!  
 

And anyway, Who want's to spend 5 minutes saying Option3, when Option1 means the same thing. We shouldn't have to spell out our feelings all the time?  You know I always want a quicky! LOL!
 

( Ofcourse, you'd love to hear it occasionally though!   )

[J-ROC]

So how come james knows exactlly what every woman wants to hear and still after 4 years jon can't work it out?!!
ARGGGHH!!

I honestly do not have a sweet clue what a woman wants to hear.  I'm so very, very single.  And I often put my foot in my mouth with things I say.  (Good thing I cut my toenails often and wash my feet regularly!)

Just cause you love James!  

The only person who loves me is my mother, and she's contractually obliged to do so.

[Jeysie]

I personally mistrust compliments. In my experience, if someone's going to lie about their opinion, they generally lie to be nice/polite/try to get something out of you. So you can never tell if the person really feels that way, or if they're trying to be nice.

Whereas if someone says something negative, they usually either mean it, or they're saying it because they don't like you. So negativity is more honest in interpretation, IMHO.

And then there's Harrison, who I'm convinced does mean the nice things he says, but is kind of rose-colored-glasses deluded, because he compliments me on things that everyone else gives me "don't quit your day job" comments about.

Peace & Luv, Liz

[Grundy]

Hey! Laur just got a new Job! Tell em Laur!
 

[Laur]

Yeah, I'll be working at the Canberra Youth Hostel! YAY!  

So you all have to come to Canberra and stay...well if you visited you could stay with me and jon but anyway...

Should be lots of fun...meet lots of hot foreign guys  

And then there's Harrison, who I'm convinced does mean the nice things he says, but is kind of rose-colored-glasses deluded, because he compliments me on things that everyone else gives me "don't quit your day job" comments about.

Did you ever think maybe he was the one who was right?! I normally like to look on the nicer side and if someone's gonna say something to compliment me I'll  be happy about it!  I mean since it doesn't really happen that often...

Have you all seen The Stepford Wives? (just saw it tonight)
 Jon keeps mentioning it but  I already make cupcakes and muffins for him and give him really great....well he doesn't have a lot to whinge about, put it that way!
 

[Jeysie]

Did you ever think maybe he was the one who was right?!

Perhaps... but knowing Harrison as I do, I'm more inclined to give the credence to the majority opinion instead.

Peace & Luv, Liz

*as usual Eric comes a day late and a dollar short*

Let me join everybody else in welcoming you Laura! I hope we don’t scare you of too fast…

Ahhh, so that explains why there is no good answer to "Does this dress make me look fat?"  

[Say]

It is hilarious is how accurate Jon was in all that and to make you feel a bit better Jon... sometimes there will be never ever a right answer (not first, second or third lol )... lol, well that sounded better in my head but I think it wont make you feel any good sowwy hahaha

so yeah, I think I had a point on this post, anyhow
