So here I am ablogging. This first blog is a bit of a test really, to discover whether or not I'm capable of spewing out, via the medium of a blog, some of the same "Sharonisms" that accidentally leave my mouth at irregular and usually inappropraite intervals. I guess I am.
Who knew...apart from CC and SSL. Two beautiful people, inside and out. To whom I wil dedicate this virgin foray.
“Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone”: the incomparable Dorothy Parker.
Lately, I seem to have developed a fondness for quotes. Sometimes my life is akin to an existence on Sesame Street, complete with hairy mammoths, screaming musicians and little monsters who dwell in garbage. I've discovered searching for and facebooking quotes, is a cathartic manner of expression that leaves me satisfied and yet wanting more. Much more.
My Grandfather introduced me to Dorothy Parker years ago, her masterpiece "Enough Rope" had me laughing, reaching for the dictionary and scratching my head at her wonderful innuendo. Then I discovered Old Dottie was responsible for such literary jewels as "Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses."...something I found to be untrue at an early age. Men seldom admit to making passes at girls in glasses is probably more true. To be fair though, they were usually the men dating my friends. So you see, even during my teenage years I was getting into trouble that was by no means my fault. Four eyes are better than two, especially if two of them have been blacked by said best friend whose boyfriend got caught making the aforementioned passes. Ah yes, we Holyhead girls were raised to know the value of a good wallop and often of a weekend, availed ourselves of this knowledge. Sigh. Those were the days - when a good thumping solved all issues and you were all good mates again before you'd had your goodnight kebab. Holyhead ladies on the rampage - clear a path boys!
However, it's getting late and I find I am indeed capable of churning out inanities and nonsensical nostalgia...and shall continue with this blog very soon.
Goodnight.
I am so glad you finally started a blog! Look forward to reading more :) PS What is a "wallop?"
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you read it :))
ReplyDeleteA wallop = a slap or a thump. As kids on a night out, sometimes emotions would run so high they could erupt in a moment of fisticuffs and bitch slapping :)

ReplyDeleteI remember a particular 'Wallop' from our Yoof, as if it were yesterday, U and me, mere youngsters, walkin from your Nains, wen we met a certain school thug on our way, a good 'Wallop' or punch as I like to call it, was all I could do to disolve the situation hahaha...and yes, think we were friends before too long.

ReplyDeleteI love a bit of Goss, especially when it involves you. Shall I be your stalker?, every Celeb must have one. Nothing serious, just the odd dead phone call or the occasional peep thru the letterbox.
