Mine just popped into my head.
it’s a profound reflection on the relationship between our words and perception when interpretations are made by an outside agency
Those puzzle books used to have clues you can solve with a mirror.

I've changed a few times the last few years. This one is because I'm not particularly vocal, or memorable as a poster but I do think that each post causes a little ripple that roles out in an ever increasing circles touching many others.

I used to post a lot on Autism when people were being goady. I'd try to gently put across a counter point. It's not for the benefit of the goady poster, they will never be anything but out for a reaction. Its that each time we take our time to construct a post, its effect ripples out. It is read and touches more than just those who visibly interact with it.

I really love the singer Jaret Reddick and the band that are currently touring with his band are called ‘not your girlfrienz’

Maje and Sandro are great. Good fabric, edgy, modern, quality.

Pick up in the sales or on The Outnet.

New York is my absolute favourite place in the world and Madison Avenue sounds like it could be a person's name.

susurration · 31/05/2018 21:34

It's one of my favourite words. I learned it from reading Pratchett's 'A hat full of Sky'; coincidentally one of my favourite books.

PeppermintPasty · 31/05/2018 21:34

PP was cool and grumpy in Charlie Brown, just like me.

The Pasty bit is my witty nod to the fact that I live in Cornwall.

I know, hilarious.

DeadButDelicious · 31/05/2018 21:34

It's a quote from one of my favourite films 'what we do in the shadows' (it's a mockumentary about a group of New Zealand vampires).

One of the characters goes for a look he calls 'Dead but delicious', I'm a goth. Dead but delicious is precisely my aesthetic. Grin

Green Wing character who reminded me of me. She had an ironing board in the car so she could get a bit done while in traffic, and left one of her multiple children at the vet's instead of the cat 😀. Had my hair and cardis too.

It means ‘word’ in Ladino, which is the language of my mother and her family. I like etymology and wanted a nice and simple username so palavra it was.
