I think Margret listened to Counting Crows too much and her brain was actually forced out of her ear.

"The contemplation of Beauty sometimes induces ecstasy, and ecstasy is the happiest state, a humming perfection of the whole person. The greatest art critic of the earlier twentieth century, Bernard Berenson, writes in his Sketch for a Selfportrait that at the age of five or six he experienced an ecstasy when out of doors." - from 'An Atheist's Values' by Richard Robinson, Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford

Re: No Sunday Clothes by wilco	3-Mar-04/3:29 PM
I'm afraid the idea of needing no Sunday clothes is plagiarised from my poeme 'Child of my Buttocks' (http://www.poemranker.com/poem-details.jsp?id=20331). -10-

Excellent! I agree, people always seem to want you to change, or to criticise you for being who you are. Sometimes I just feel like standing up and shouting, "CAN'T YOU SEE I WILL ALWAYS JUST BE ME?" lol :-) -10-

"But the rages and disciplines are Fresh masterpieces in vivid oils running down Still wet upon the canvas of my memory." ...so hauntingly poignant. It reminds me very much of my childhood adventures at Browne Acres School For Boys, in which my stool-based oil paintings were met, even among the most mild mannered of my peers, with unprovoked acts of appalling violence.

With this piece, you have balmilised a dumpling that is Beyond Thunderdome. It fails so utterly, that no amount constructive criticism could hoist it from the plunging U-bend to the giddy heights of a lingering death on the toilet bowl, smeared against the porcelain slopes like a squashed urchin. No my friend, this dropping is destined to remain below the waterline, where it shall wallow and sob in a state of appalling agony until the last days of its miserably short life are utterly spent. It's time to pull the chain and move on, lest the contemplation of one stool should hamper the coiling of t'other. Good try though! -10-

Often at night I wake up to sound of my own screams, and then I realise that I have just based my entire personality on my love for a hot beverage.

This is quite good, but two points: 1. Do you mean "marry me?" at the end? 2. "Bimbo" is generally used to describe a woman who is attractive yet stupid. The women you're describing does in fact seem to be "less than a bimbo", since she's ugly too.
