Flamsterette-you know, perhaps you should take PRIDE in being the Drama Queen. Seriously-laugh about it-post it in your sig-SDMB Drama Queen. If you poke fun about it yourself, people wont’ bother you.
Deeward-come on, spill the beans, please! I’m stupid, I don’t get the connect the dots!
I wasn’t going to say anything more about all this, but it’s awfully difficult to not respond.
On the other hand, it’s a precarious and nerve-wracking thing to discuss.
On the other hand I’M DYING TO TALK! I NEED TO GET THIS OFF MY CHEST AND HAVE BEEN CARRYING IT AROUND FOR A LONG TIME! I’TS A BURDEN AND A PAIN.
No, it’s not “gory”. It’s a nostalgic sobbing deep within the heart of me.
There are two sides to this all . One, there is the serious side; full of mental anguish and bodily strife. Full of exuberance and renovation of spirit. etc.
On the other side; there is the joyfull, rapturous, and stormy side; full of playful passion and perhaps some risqu’e.
I stagger from frustration!
Two things I’ve got to know ; will this be met with tollerance and the will to understand, and will you realize that it is NOT the E.H. of this day and time I am talking about. It is the young, 25 or so year old man I’m refering to.
That’s an absolute necessity ! You should have a picture in your mind of him as he was then. One good way to do that is to take a look into the Eng. Hump. Photo Gallery at this website:
Some of the snaps are rather on the nuisance side , like those showing him on those t.v. shows etc., BUT…BUT,…I’ve got three favorites : One is the first colored picture of him (not the "Release Me"profile one) . It’s a good face picture ; take a good look at that awhile . The next is that picture of him in the zig-zag striped shirt (like they in those days) . It needs to be clicked to enlarge. Do that; it’s a neat one. The last one that’s so inticing is a large picture of his face and he’s dressed in sort of a sheared -lamb top and is wearing a white turtle-neck sweater. If those pix don’t tingle your appreciation of male beauty you must be made of stone.
And about my puntuation and writing habits- -why worry? You can understand what is being said one way or the other can’t you? I’ve got my own style of writing. One teacher called it “electric”. Leave the perfection of puntuation, spelling and grammar to the proof readers. I am not making any claims about being a real good anything when it comes to writing. BUT,…I write because I HAVE to. That’s the way it is with real writers. I definately will write a book some day.
Dee
Okay, we’ll be nice-just please spill! Quit teasing us-it’s not fair!
Come on now, Dee, do we really have to play the straight man to get the rest of the performance? Or is this some sort of Rocky Horror audience participation you’re looking for?
Incedentally, this paragraph …
… should be framed. It’s beautiful. You can’t write comedy like that.
Well, you can.
And unless, Dear Dee, you learn the conventions of spelling and grammar, ain’t no publisher going to look even once at your book other than as something to catch the mustard dribbling off his chin as he’s eating a sandwich.
Oh, and I think your teacher probably told you your writing was “eclectic” not “electric.”
… or eccentric.
My middle name is Tolerance, and I’m more than willing to give understanding a go, but for fucks sake Dee, what ARE you on about?
You reckon that YOU are ‘staggering from frustration’…spare a thought for us poor sods out here will ya?
Mr. Batty;
Oh, you are a proffesional writer are you ? If you ARE , it is my lucky day! I’ve always wanted to ask somebody like you this question: Does it not take talent to write comedy?
Thanks if you can answer!
It’s too late for me to write more tonight, but catchya later Kambuckta- - -
Oh, c’mon dee, just spill it already. It’s obvious you want to.
And remember, “All this is remembering” “The end can only be pure” - EH
[sup]Taken from here. I feel so dirty.[/sup]
Awww! Y-a-w-n! Just when I was ready to turn off the computer and climb in bed, I noticed your message on my e-mail list, Joyfulgirl. (pretty name)
That’s thoughtful of you; you got Enge’s recent website I see.
BUT,…the one I want you and everyone else to look at is the E.H. photo gallery site.
I mentioned this in my last post. Find you the three favorite pictures of mine, and you will see him as I knew him days ago.
He started to look markedly differant in the eighties, and I hated that mustache! For some reason, it made him look years older than he had to look.
The website we just saw is made in the last year or so. It’s nice, and has a lot to offer. You can see why he’s called “The King of Romance”.
Still, those pictures of him are pictures of him NOW ,…and God!
All considered, he’s sure not doing bad for an old coot 60-some years old!!
Gotta hand it to that guy; he’s a trooper, and loves being a celebrity.
Yes, I looked through the photos also. So tell us.
You were with him just a few days ago?
I have to say this because it’s important;
Concerning E. H.'s newest website (that one showing him as he is now(60-some yrs. old)…
FORGET THAT! PUT THAT OUT OF YOUR MIND COMPLETELY!!
At this point, that is only a distraction and has little to do with me today. That site serves only as an obstacle now . QUIT ASSOCIATING THAT WITH ME NOW!
At the same time , I’ll admit, I must admire him and give him credit for trying so hard and accomplishing so much in his career . I appreciate him and am not going to forsake him in his old age, no matter how clumsy he gets.
BUT,…the person I have in mind when I talk to you about the past is SO DIFERENT than what he is now, its hard to beleive they are the same person. He’s all in diferant colors, for one thing , his hair that was once so weighty and dark seems to have shrunk up so it’s rather strange, but age gets us all . Let’s give ourselves some mercy; we can’t stay beautiful.
STILL, WIPE THAT PRESENT-DAY PICTURE OUT OF YOUR MIND!
Yeah, or NO STORY FOR YOU!
Heh.
deeward, get on with it already.
It’s obvious that you are the World’s Biggest Engelbert Humperdinck Fan[sup]TM[/sup] (well, apart from his mother, that is). It’s also obvious that you enjoy jerking people around by almost telling them a story. In short, you are bordering a practice called trolling for responses. A practice which, I might add, is not allowed at this message board.
If Engelbert (the YOUNG Engelbert! The 25 year old one! GAH!! Et cetera.) touched you with his Mighty Sword of Flesh, please tell us in full detail. I’m sure the crowds will be roaring with laughter.
If, on the other hand, you are merely pleasuring yourself on a daily basis whilst looking at that wrinkled and spotted Please Release Me cover, shut the fuck up already.
Yeesh.
deeward, please tell me…does E.H. have a restraining order against you?
Well, I looked there and I couldn’t find a single hump photo.
What? Oh, not that meaning…[sub]sorry[/sub]
Remind me to tell you about my ‘fascination’ with Fauré sometime. (Obviously not the decomposing lumps of tissue which he became, I’m talking about the vibrant, vital composer he was - just listen to his requiem to see what I mean.)
Deeward-personally, I think you’re lying-you don’t have a story.
Or else you’re just jerking us around coughtrollcough
So, either spill up or shut up!
I think so too, Guinastasia . I’ve been following this thread forever but now it’s just pissing me off. If you’re going to tell a story, do it. Building anticipation is well and good but we’re way past that now. It’s like looking at a kid throwing a tantrum for the sake of attention.
“Everyone look at Deeward ! Pay attention to her! Beg her to talk to us!”
Sheesh. No story is worth all this. Especially now, I think I’ve imagined better things than could possibly have happened, after all this it’s probably just going to be a big letdown anyway.
Prove me wrong, kids. Prove me wrong:D
