Its just friends eyes that get me. Oh god I so could fall in love with him them eyes. But mustn't don't know what will happen when he returns.

notsurewhyohwhy · 09/05/2012 08:48

Wow last night I had loads of messages late at night!! Anyway the best one was this:

Too fat for me hun, loose some weight and holla back.

I never even messaged this guy so why send me this! I'm a size 12 btw so Hmm stupid ugly guy!!

notsurewhyohwhy · 09/05/2012 08:49

Hello! Hate it when work gets in the way of my MN habit!

Glad to see you are all alive & well. Completely wow at Snape's premier attendance!

Date tonight with Mr Music. Looking forward to it. If the emails are anything to go by, then we should at the very least have a fun evening.

Snapespeare · 09/05/2012 10:00

notsure
'I wouldn't lose weight just to try and hook up with a man who clearly has a tiny penis and compensates by being rude to women he couldn't possibly hope to pull in real life, on the internet'

and block.

I only ever had one really rude message, I sent him a terribly rude response and blocked him.

I have my dress (it looks like a tent, I am fatter than i thought possible. diet tomorrow
DD has a stunning, white top shop skater style dress in a size 8 Envy clearly being a vegan has caused her to drop a dress size and I may give this a go once I have managed to stop dry humping Johnny Depps leg like a demented Jack Russell terrier

watchoutforthatsnail · 09/05/2012 10:03

snape - im so excited for you, you are going to have a fab time.Im sure your dress does not look like a tent at all.. and pah to teenage girls and tiny waists ;)
honestly, have the BEST ever time.
cant wait to hear all about it.

post bell - is this a second date? or third?

my date for friday is still on... we are off for drinks and to catch a film :)

and also, ykw text me sunday or monday... and i have not replied!!!!!!! hes meant to be coming to my town friday, so im just going to turn my phone off.

PostBellumBugsy · 09/05/2012 10:10

Watch - this is the first freaking date with Mr Music!!!!! Well done for staying strong with YKW and great news about your date on Friday.

TimeForMeAndDD · 09/05/2012 10:15

I'm excited for you too Snape, and I am sure you will look great Smile I must say too, your daughter is absolutely stunning! She obviously comes from good stock!

notsure definitely what Snape said, your best rude message right back at him and then block! That's my favourite activity on POF!

Post Have a great date, look forward to the update!

Watch well done re YKW!! You are a very strong woman! Does he know where you live? He's not likely to just drop in on you on Friday is he?

Snapespeare · 09/05/2012 11:02

watch well done re ykw. :) lovely that you have a date planned when ykw will be in town. If any response needed at all (...) 'sorry, I'm busy' is truthful and just.

post excited at your date too! :)

I have a bag under my desk that is full of shapewear. I am googling the state of johnny Depp & Vanessa Paradis' relationship. I am also internet stalking Jonathon Ross' son, who is of an ideal age to court my DD and I want the Rosses as inlaws

watchoutforthatsnail · 09/05/2012 11:04

oh post - sorry, brain has caught up, so he finally asked you out then ;) what are you doing? hope it all goes well.

thanks time. he does know where i live, but im not going to be here. i shall be at work. and then at home and not answering the door and then on a date. But i cant see that he will just turn up, especially so since i havent spoken to him and have not responded to any contact he has made.

watchoutforthatsnail · 09/05/2012 11:05

snape - if i respond in any way ill just get dragged into an argument or discussion about it. its best not to engage at all i think. i know how he works. its the only way he will get the message.

so - what time is it all happening snape - we want pics too. im so excited for you!

PostBellumBugsy · 09/05/2012 11:17

Meeting in a very lovely country pub near me. It looks like a logistical nightmare for him to come to me, but he was insistent! Am keeping expectations low, but am hoping it will be a laugh. We have exchanged the funniest emails, so I'll be disappointed if we can't raise a laugh in real life.

snape- definitely need a blow for blow of all the celeb sightings & mingling from tonight. I'm more excited about your night, than my date! Grin

TimeForMeAndDD · 09/05/2012 11:46

If we watch Daybreak in the morning we may well see Snape walking down the red carpet Grin

Snapespeare · 09/05/2012 12:19

waddling down the red carpet, attempting to hide behind a stunning size 8 16 year old DD. :)

watch of course you're right, you've done really well to not engage so far, no response necessary for ykw.

I'm meeting DD at 4, going to hotel, getting channged (sucked into shapewear...) then meeting warner Bros rep in lobby at 20 to 5. I can totally be ready in half an hour, I am that low maintenance.

TimeForMeAndDD · 09/05/2012 12:23

Snape you sell yourself short, you are gorgeous Smile

I'm excited for you! I shall also keep my fingers crossed you manage to get through the evening without needing a wee, that there shapewear can be a nightmare to roll up and down Grin

hatesponge · 09/05/2012 12:35

Snape that's so exciting. Hope you have an amazing evening! Look forward to hearing all about it tomorrow.

Post, hope your dates goes well too :)

watchoutforthatsnail · 09/05/2012 13:14

AND you get a hotel!!!

adn you dont waddle, you look fab AND VERY YOUNG!

zanywany · 09/05/2012 13:29

OMG I have just been reading your other thread Sponge and I am amazed at some of the responses. Hope your not taking some of the awful comments to heart as you look lovely and come across as a brilliant person who has standards, as we should. Well done Watch and Time for sticking up for Sponge Grin

Glad you seem to be over ykw Watch

Is you Jonny Dep date tonight Snape Grin

I havent changed FB yet as I thought I should tell my XP first, not looking forward to it. Ill take some pix later though to add to this profile

Snapespeare · 09/05/2012 13:36

I just spent an hour and a half on sponges other thread. jesus h christ. I haven't got the energy to post there.

no weeing? :( with all that free? champagne?!

johnny depp tonight. am now speculating with DD as to whether Russell brand or Tim Minchin might be there cough! watch!!

and in dating news, just got a one line message from a potato with no profile filled in on okc. i can do better. I will do better!

Snapespeare · 09/05/2012 13:53

play spot the snape!

live stream of the London premiere from 7PM.

not that I'm excited, or anything....

PostBellumBugsy · 09/05/2012 13:53

Just to re-iterate on here, what I said on the other thread, Sponge you are the bravest lady I know to have started that thread and to have put up your dating profile. There was a fair bit of nonsense, but you strike me as far too grounded to take any of that very seriously!

watchoutforthatsnail · 09/05/2012 13:54

if tim or russel of jross are there notice how im on first name terms with all of them
then i shall have no choice but to hate you forever!!!

:)
:)

im posting smilies, but i mean it!!
:)

its a dire thread, some interesiting info has just come to light in the form of a PM, MNHQ are onto it and the rather harrassing, vile poster ( regular name changer with a bullying back story)

and anyway, spong is my friend, yes? ( sponge, you are my friend!!:) and i wouldnt see them rip her to shreads... esp when its such bullshit ;) though it did rather leave me in the snake pit abit. lo;

watchoutforthatsnail · 09/05/2012 13:55

LOL - SPOT THE SNAPE!!!!!!!

so going to play that game, whats the prize?

TimeForMeAndDD · 09/05/2012 13:57

Yes Zany, I'm exhausted today, the arguments continued in my sleep Grin And poor watch has had to endure more today! But sponge is worth it Smile

Snape you need a Shewee www.shewee.com/ crotchless shapewear and a Shewee is the way to go! Grin

Are you taking your camera tonight??

Tell the potato you can't see him tonight, you have a date with Johnny Depp! And yes, you can do better than a potato!!

MyLittleMiracle · 09/05/2012 14:00

snape you will look stunning too! As will your DD. I hope you both have a brilliant time (sure you will)

post hope your date goes well. Currently I am chatting to 4 men, but still wanting just friends. Still less than 2 weeks and I hopefully should know a little more of where I stand. Maybe.
