Maybe if we all just ask something? Would that work? Wouldn't that make this thread come alive again? Did you know I have a new job that starts tomorrow? Do you think I'm a bit nervous?

Moon, can you forgive me for not telling you sooner that DT means delirium tremens and refers to the violent shakes and illness that comes on an alcoholic who is drying out? Do you understand that it is a symptom of withdrawal from alcohol?

Gisela, will you tell us what your new job is?

gisela · 02-04-2008, 02:16 AM

Were you afraid you wouldn't get to know what it was?
How does it sound with a job as a leader of a community ceramic workshop in a cultural centre? Doesn't that sound fab?
Do you realise how fortunate I am to actually get a job within my branch, being a ceramicist? Did you know that even the most succesful ceramic artists here work as cleaners in the mornings, just to pay the bills?
Isn't that just insane, having an MFA?

Do you know I think that is just wonderful? Can you hear me applauding you?

(Did I ever tell you I made an ashtray when I was nine?

Is anyone thinking that Gisela did a knockup job at her her job? Does anyone have this miserable cold? What does everyone think of me painting my kitchen with chocolate brown and white and having a coffee theme?

Shanazel · 02-04-2008, 03:58 PM

Why wouldn't I think food colors are an excellent choice for a kitchen?

gisela · 02-04-2008, 05:38 PM

chocolate brown looks good on anything, doesn't it?
When can I see your ashtray, Shanazel? It has to be the most beatiful piece of art, am I right? Can you guess that I have tons of my old ceramic stuff at my parents house?
I'll have a coffee "theme" now, don't you think that's best, after the first day at work?

Did everyone notice Shanazel finally has an avatar???

gisela · 02-04-2008, 05:55 PM

OMG how did I miss that? What happened? What made you take the step?

Shanazel · 02-05-2008, 04:02 PM

Don't you lovely ladies know by now that I hate to rush into anything and took two years to find just the right painting of elegant repose to represent me and my attitude toward life?

Oh, Gisela, how can I find words to describe the glory of that quintessential work of art that was my ashtray? Would you believe I dug the clay myself from a load of sand that was hauled into our yard to fill in a low spot? Shall I describe the loving agony of the search for artistic inspiration as I worked the red clay between my child hands and formed coils? Will you risk tears of empathy as I describe how I wrapped those coils into shape and then baked my creation on the top of the fence in the Texas sun? And then- THEN!- will you weep to hear how my unartistic and cruel parents refused to take up cigarettes in order to put my creation to use? Can you imagine the horror of it and the artistic angst that ensued?

Can you believe how long I can go on without using a single simple declarative sentence?
