Hello

This week I signed up to the writers workshop after a short period of lurking here. My principle motivation is to improve my writing and from browsing through archived reviews it looks like there is a lot of constructive criticism and debate. I'm keen to start reviewing and I hope any feedback I give is valuable to the writers because in many respects I feel underqualified to criticise.

The current pile of books at my bedside (which never seems to get any smaller) includes Houellebecq, Murakami, Kundera and Chuck himself. Besides reading and writing I enjoy listnening to Jazz and electronica, drinking green tea and watching films.

I wanted to somehow give myself a human face, which is not always easy on the net. I noticed a lot of threads about Karaoke, so I have recorded my version of "Suspicious Minds". You might want to cut out the last minute because i forgot to sing the repeated coda.

Exactly what kind of human face that rendition might give me is debatable, but it must be better than an anonymous blank (.... or a Trout Mask).

Anyhow, I look forward to getting to know you all.

Hey!
I can never listen to these Karaoke things all the way through from cringing so much. Yours lasted longer than most, so well done.

EDIT: PS Welcome to the Cult.

I saw you whining in another thread so I thought I would bump this so people can greet you and make you feel welcome, you big baby.

Welcome, but really, you're not. Not after bitching about not being loved. Theres only so much love to be spread around, Jerk, and I'm all out of hugs.

You should have named the thread something more interesting...perhaps with a Polynesian flavour...Summer's coming, you know.

PS Smart as a boy, I'll be needing those hugs on my desk by 5pm tomorrow, GMT.

You can also touch your privates for no reason at all. Welcome to the cult where insanity and bullshit rule the day.

Everyone is after you sacred. The NSA has viewed your posts on this very forum with your sig and your previous user title. They now know that you know the secret- George Bush hates us all. I hope you like helicopter rides because any day now the super sexy sleek black helos will be swooping down in your front yard to pick you up and take you to Gitmo.

I have found that if you leave a little bit in a saucer and leave it overnight with a few cress seeds on the top, by morning you have a Triffid.

You have to talk to snuffy about that- he claimed I needed a real woman in my avy. I am not sure if Swain counts but I think she does. When I get off work tonight, if you bastards are lucky I will bring back a varation on the hottness. Not Lindsay but something at least of equal buxom enticing lewdness.

Let's just say that no matter how beautiful her eyes may be, they certainly don't jiggle.

They do if you carefully cut them out with a scalpel and then place them in a small jar full of formaldehyde and some of those fake snow flakes in the snow globes. Then, you shake it vigorously and laugh like a madman!

A little rudeness now again goes a long way. Besides, I just don't think the word [I]jiggle[/I] can ever be truly rude. Jiggling eyes, however - that's macabre [I]and[/I] rude.

Are eyes even that jiggly? I'm prodding at mine right now and they seem quite robust.

I don't think eyes qualify as face-jigglers.

In fact, other than pehaps a fantastically fleshy bottom, what can really jiggle other than jigglers?

Thanks for the triffid growing tips, and all the welcomes. Sorry for whinging about not being loved, I feel all warm and tingly inside now.

As to my whereabouts in the UK, I hail from Reading, a place famous for its music festival, biscuits, and for being where Oscar Wilde was locked up. Nowadays it looks just like any other UK town: bland shops, chain bars and vast, sprawling suburbs of Lego homes. It's a pleasant enough place, but you can't see an indie film here, then drink good cocktials and dance till the sun comes up.

I used to live in Frankfurt and Berlin where that was always possible, and I miss those places.

Holy shit.

Where in Reading do you live?

At the moment, I'm typing from wokingham....went to school in Reading. Stuck here for a few months until my soul is no bigger than a walnut.

Currently residing with my parents in Twyford. A situation which must end soon, but given rent prices in Reading economics has the final say on that one.

I went to school in Reading, the grammar school near the hospital.

That would be pretty darn freaky if we knew each other.
