...she says hello, actually

Joanna

PS diceliver?

hello, Strawberry!
(psst... can I be shallow and ask what she looks like too? )

diceliver - live in a similar way to the main character of "The dice man" - and make decisions by the roll of a dice. The idea is to cause "the break-up of the single personality", supposedly, but it's a lot of fun too...

(You can ask but she's not necessarily going to reply... oh, okay then, tall, dark curly hair, "smiley"...)

I guess that makes me a coinliver... I try to narrow everything dowm to a decision between 2 arbitrary things and then flip a coin...

...or one could do the Richard Feynman thing and given a choice of dessert always go for chocolate icecream...

If you're nice to her she may even remember the url of one of the bad photos of her on the web.

mmm.... chocolate icecream...
what would you reccommend then? walks in the park? trips to movies? meals out?

Has she seen the Tigger Movie?

She hasn't seen the Tigger movie; she would've gone to see it on Saturday but a friend of hers was in a mystery play so she went along to that, even though it was cold.

She does like to walk in the park though...

Mystery play? What's one of them then?

She's going to write an entry on them when she's made a significant indent into her h2g2 list of things to do...

...they were plays put on by the guilds in cathedral towns, I think at Corpus Christi, a celebration which entered the church's calendar in medileval times, I think by the town Guilds.
...they depict the passion, resurection and ascention of Christ, and Doomsday too.

Durham did nine plays on Saturday (the first saturday after Corpus Christi which was last Thursday), for the first time since 1548.... they were made illegal in 1575 and none were performed until I think 1951 when York I think resurected them...

..each town has their own... York, Chester... Durham's are lost, unfortunately... they each last about half an hour, and are all in poetry... well, rhyming couplets, anyway, a little similar to shakespeare...

she wonders if you understand a little better...?

a little better - kind of like the Nativities you get at christmas time, but for different periods of Christ's life? But why would someone outlaw such harmless things? and what's the mystery??

(no fair if she says "it's a mystery"... )

Its a...

She doesn't say that really... she says that the Puritans probably banned them because they thought they were probably ungody because they are too close to fun... yes they are like nativities...

...she supposes that the mysteries are the "holy mysteries" - or something... she's not really sure... yet... she does plan to write an entry on them...


{[Broken link removed by Moderator]if you're really interested -she's on the left}

She looks cute...

Good to see they let her out of the mental hospital - or is that in the grounds?

She thinks that last comment was mean...

thats at a place she went to stay at for a week last summer...

hey, what's wrong with being cute, eh?

who's her friend? (who's less cute )

She's not sure you've got the people in the picture the right way round
Also she knows that you know that being cute wasn't what she meant....

Her friend is someone she's known since they met at a mutual friend's birthday party when she was 2 and her friend was 3. She doesn't remember not knowing her...

Didn't you say when you first introduced me to Strawberry that she was on the other side of the padded walls in the mental hospital?

Wow: that's a long time to know someone... don't they get on each other's nerves?

They don't get on each others nerves, they've known each other forever but've never really fought... they look out for each other when they can, but they've not seen each other so much recently 'cause they're at different unis... & before then they didn't go to the same school...

She's curious to know what you look like...

Must be nice - having friends like that...

Send me her email, and I'll send the one digital photo of myself I have to her. I'm at [email protected]...

Okay, she sent you mail...

It is nice, having friends like that. She wouldn't be without them... she only has a very few friends like that.

You should have a reply you can send her... assuming I figured out the email client right...

It's always better to have a few great friends, than lots of sorta-friends... well, I reckon

She agrees with you.

& she got the email

& h2g2's finally letting her post this.

Is h2g2 being nasty to Strawberry? aww... poor thing...

*sympathy*
