Feeling very loved up
He said the sweetest thing the other day. He told me he loves how I look best when I'm just about to go to sleep and when I wake up, said I'm like Sleeping Beauty
I'm pretty sure I look more like a panda-eyed mess...

He's puppy-sitting for me today. Can't wait to go back and see him. Just wish we were living together

Can't sleep, just so anxious at moment
The day is looking very long for me, because I miss him so much

How about cutting up the chicken, coat it in the spices, cover and leave for a few hours to marinate. Then do all the rest...

Beauty and the Beast is amazing, from the animation to the music to its wonderful heart. The animation is brilliant especially at the part where the beast transforms and when they first explore the castle. Apparently the beast-like sculptures around the castle are actually earlier incarnations of the beast himself

no sorry, can't stand the stockholm syndrome film

So What's the Problem?
You know where else you can spend all day reading? Prison. Which is exactly where Belle is. Read all you want, as long as you don't think of leaving to see your family or loved ones ever again.
Remember, she's being held against her will -- she agreed to take her father's place as the Beast's prisoner. She had tried to escape once already, but the Beast tracked her down. Sure, he saved her from some wolves in the process, but he's still her captor. It's true that after he collapses, she drags him back to the castle to tend his wounds and willingly remains in his possession. But that makes perfect sense if you've heard of Stockholm syndrome.

Belle has. She's read everything.
Hostages, in order to keep from losing their grip on things, have been known to fall in love with the people holding them captive. There are four distinct stages of it, and Belle goes through each one in order:
Stage 1 is the act of being held captive itself. The captive person is held by fear of pain and/or death, and learns that the only way to survive is to be compliant. Belle does this right away and goes to her room without a struggle.

"I could probably do without the talking wardrobe now that I'll never see my father again."
Stage 2 is getting to know your captor so you can avoid pissing him off and causing him to harm you. Belle gets pretty familiar with the Beast's moods and what will set him off, which may seem like she's getting to know him as a friend, but is really just an innate survival instinct telling her to tread lightly around his monstrous ass so he doesn't rip her in half in a fit of spectacular rage.

Stage 3 is regarding any act of kindness as a sign that your captor is basically a good person -- even if that act of kindness is simply not killing you. The Beast giving Belle a library seems like a wonderful gesture from a sweet guy until you consider the fact that the library was already there. It's just another room in his house. All he did was open a door and point. So really, it's no different than "giving" her a bathroom to use, although Belle thinks it's the grandest thing anyone has ever done for her.

"Hey, here's the part where I start blaming myself for all the bruises!"
The final stage is when you start thinking of your captor as your friend, and of the people trying to rescue you as your enemies. The guy coming after her (Gaston) is a meatball, to be sure, but he and his mob are basically just trying to rescue Belle from a cruel, kidnapping monster's mind games.

I know him for years and there's always been something between us but we were never able to act on it.

I live abroad and he's over here visiting his brother abd the first night he arrived we got together, we havent been apart since. Its going so so well, but he leaves on Monday.

We were out last night and unfortunately i cant remember much of what happened but the outcome is that he doesnt want to see me any more and thats that!

I tried emailing him today and he hasnt replied... i have no idea what i said like

Ah don't worry too much just yet. Let him cool off for a few days. You're both hungover today so it's best to stay away till both of you are feeling better

You know it's a bad sign when you have more fun playing Snake on YouTube than actually watching any videos.

I went to an entirely teetotal dinner party las night and it was...weird! I don't think I'm dependent on alcohol to have a good time but I like my wine and its as much part of the ceremony as the food, imo. A couple of cups of Coke just wasn't the same! There were about 15 people there and some didn't know each other so the whole thing was quite stilted, especially once the post-eating energy slump hit. Honestly, I had a great time for the first hour then when I'd caught up on what everyone was doing since I saw them last I was done and wanting to go. My housemates were at a cider festival too and it was all I could think of!

You won't with that attitude. Just let the dust lie for a bit and maybe try talk to him in a few weeks.

I think we should leave that I think one thing and you think another.

Though, for the record, I never stated that Hicks was bad. Just that I don't consider him to be as great as he's said to be, despite the comedians he's influenced etc., he just doesn't do an awful lot for me.

Also, I really don't like this:

My opinion on something as subjective as humour is just as valid as yours so a "just no" is not something I'm particularly enthralled by.

fair enough,sorry for being dismissive, thats what drunk posting will do to me :pac:

on another note, being hungover is a perfectly valid reason for eating cake for breakfast yes?

There's a birthday party going on two doors up, their little girl is about 4, I'd say. She has friends over and I can hear them playing in their garden, all giggly and excited and happy. It's lovely to hear.

Also, whatever they're cooking smells amazing!

herisson

Awhhh just found out my friend had her baby boy this morning!
