**Primaflora** and **Silver Fire** , this is not the place. **dlgirl** has every right to open this thread, and she did so because elsewhere on this board several posters (including myself) expressed our interest in getting to know her. However, the other poster and myself also said that we’re not the best at sending a random e-mail out trying to get to know someone.
If you click on that nice bright red house under each of **dlgirl** ’s posts, you’ll be magically whisked away to her incredibly well put together website with a lot of information about her. However, the one thing you cannot do on someone’s website (at least on hers) is to directly communicate with her. God, I don’t even know why I’m writing this, this is so out of character from any of the posting history of each of you that I’m familiar with. From the thread’s subject, you knew exactly what the OP was going to be about. Why’d you open it?
Now, back to the OP:
**dlgirl** , I see you go to ASU. Do you like it?
What are you studying?
If you haven’t picked a major, what are some of the classes which have interested you?
Favorite movie?
Favorite comedy/drama/action?
Do you feel you are seething with potential, but haven’t found the right outlet for it yet, or do you know what that outlet is, but don’t know how to achieve/possess it?
That’s all for now. I _will_ be back.

I thought _job_ was… Oh. _blushes_
_wonders if **dlgirl** would have caught as much flak if the thread had been called “Ask the Horny Virgin”_
_blushes again_
I do have a question or three, though…
Could your quest possibly be something along the lines of becoming a love slave? Just an edjumicated guess…
And since I already know your name and quest, the remaining questions are:
What… is your favorite color?
What… is the capital of Assyria?
What… is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?
(You realize that we all must shun you if you haven’t seen that movie, right? Or at least give you a good spanking…)

African or European swallow? (shit, should’ve never opened this up again!)

What subject or area of knowledge do you know a lot about that most people would never suspect just by talking to you in daily conversation?
Per the link below from your web page your dogs are obviously possessed by satanic forces. How does this impact the course of your everday life?

**Munch** asked:
**dlgirl** , I see you go to ASU. Do you like it?
_What are you studying?_ Haven’t picked anything. Used to be Anthro, but it wasn’t what I thought it was.
_If you haven’t picked a major, what are some of the classes which have interested you?_ I have done well (and paid attention) in my Math classes as well as my Intro to Chem class. I am pretty proud of that fact. Anywho, I find (most of the time) if I get interested too much in one subject, I go overboard and get sick of it.
_Favorite movie?_ “Singing in the Rain”,
_Favorite comedy/drama/action?_ **Comedy** - Recently, the movie that I have laughed the most in was “Rat Race”. **Drama** - “Little Women”, though I can’t get through it without crying. **Action** - Hmmm…I don’t really watch action movies. I seem to like comedies more than anything.
_Do you feel you are seething with potential, but haven’t found the right outlet for it yet, or do you know what that outlet is, but don’t know how to achieve/possess it?_ Am I seething with potential? Oh, I don’t know. I seem to be seething with a lot of stuff these days. You know, I can’t say what I see myself doing in the future. I am kind of floating about, testing the ground to see if it is safe. I unfortunately didn’t go through this phase until now. I wish it would have happened earlier. Oh, well. (If this isn’t quite what you are looking for, sorry.)

Sorry, Munch. Forgot to answer your first question (duh!).
_ **dlgirl** , I see you go to ASU. Do you like it?_ Do I like it? Hmmm…that is a hard one. You see, it is school, a place that isn’t entirely fun. But it is also a new and wonderous place every time I step foot on campus. I like to wander around, kind of romantically, at school. That isn’t great for my studies, considering that I kind of ignore them and think about the wonders of the world and not about Ethnic Relations in the US or why some writer wrote something about their religion. I guess I am destined not to think about school and just think about life. I will be in deep trouble, though, if my parents find this out. My mom is working at the college (has for more than ten years) and she wants to quit when I get out. We get a tuition break because she works there. I don’t blame her for wanting to leave; it is very hard on her. The students are not always nice and the organization of the office (i.e. they send you back and forth between departments) is frustrating.

Sorry to tell you this, **dlgirl** , but that’s what everyone in college does! Don’t sweat it. When in college, I dabbled in nearly every subject, before I just picked one at random. Do I regret it? Absolutely not. Learn as much as you can - and if that learning takes place over beer and pizza talking about the finer points of a card game, so be it. You have your head screwed on straight, from what I can tell.
Next question: If a train leaves Cincinnati headed towards Denver at 80 km/hr, and a train leaves L.A. headed towards Denver at 44 km/hr, can you tell me one thing you’d like to accomplish by year’s end?

So, combining the recurrent Disney and virgin themes running through this thread: Which Disney character would you must like to loose your virginity to? Would you at least consent to heavy petting with the little mermaid?
BTW, I normally resist the voyeuristic urge to peruse vanity sites, but I looked at yours. It is thoroughly unbelievable that you haven’t gotten any offers. Perhaps you just turn a deaf ear to them until someone who meets your ideal comes along.

How well do I want to know you?
Well, I would already know more about you if you trimmed the hedges under your window. Those things are annoyingly scratchy. Also, adjust your blinds a bit, would you? Thanks much. 🙂

I’ve recently become addicted to The Learning Channel. I love the list episodes (Top 10 Machines, Top 10 Inventions, etc.). There was a special on the Hoover Dam that I became addicted to as well. On the episode, they interviewed one of the dam engineers, who was talking about the force of Lake Mead on the dam. His quote was “I like to think of things in terms of elephants. Lake Mead represents roughly 10 million elephants of force.”
From that point on, I decided to think in terms of elephants as well. What do you like to think in terms of?

Then I guess I get the spanking because I have no idea what you are talking about.

Oh, whenever I feel I need to. It could be everyday. Or it could be months before I release my frustrations. (Yes, I am a horny virgin :devilish smiley: )
**astro** :
\*What subject or area of knowledge do you know a lot about that most people would never suspect just by talking to you in daily conversation? \* Hmmm…maybe Disneyland stuff, information about Placebo. Oh, I don’t know. (Just from reading this thread, have you noticed that I don’t know a lot about myself? 😃 ) I don’t really talk to people I don’t know very well. I guess maybe I should. I am sure I have a lot of things stored up in my brain somewhere.
_Per the link below from your web page your dogs are obviously possessed by satanic forces. How does this impact the course of your everday life?_ Well, I don’t see anything particularly satanic about them, but put them together and I swear it is hell (at least for the humans present in the house).

[cogsworth]Flowers, chocolates, promises you don’t intend to keep?[/cogsworth]
I don’t know. I haven’t been deflowered yet, now have I? Maybe getting to know me more would be a great idea. Oh, and I don’t have anything to give you the odds on. Right now it might be 33% or 100%. I have no idea.

Good brown gravy on a crispy biscuit! Run, do not walk, to your local video store and buy a copy of _Monty Python and the Holy Grail_. (Then you’ll find out what happens **after** the spanking…)
