Thats ok Dazzer (and Koji), I think its pretty cool.  Funny you should mention Malfoy. When I went to see Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone the first night, I actually slicked my hair back and dreesed up like that. There was a pretty scary resemblance.  ;D

 :o youre gay?! from the pics id never guess!  ;)

yep, its against the rules to do stuff like that, the thing is...it got pretty serious and quite a few members were seriously worried for her, and she dug herself deeper into her hole by continuing her fantasy story, and it really annoyed many members when it was revealed that she was playing a trick.

but still, other than that she seems like a very sweet girl, maybe she should be allowed a second chance?

either way, indeed she is gorgeous

i took it seriously until she told me that she was of japanese decent and she had blond hair.  i even gave her the benefit of the doubt (thinking she might have dyed it), but then to say you have relatives in siberia (or something).  what?  is she so multiracial to have three or four sets of relatives (or perhaps military family) that her family is so scattered?

i thought my family was unusual.  i mean, i am irish/english, my step-dad is german, my mother is english,  and my husband is russian.  my husband and my dad actually get along quite well now.  it took some getting used to for them. 

you can tell now, from her name, she wanted attention.  poor corina.  she even asked, who knows what my name means?  she wanted the attention of paople like me who would feel sorry for her (and then make us look really silly).  i can't help it.  i have always been a little bit gullible. she did sound like she was a chopin lover.

she didnt mean any harm by it, it just got out of hand.

in reality she is a sweet, kind soul, who is indeed a chopin lover.

and how, may i ask, do you know all this?  ;)

i think she's too young for you.  pick on someone your own size.  like a shark.

on second thought, she might be the one for you.  yes.  porcorina and steve.  i can see it now!  what a match!  made on pianoforum.  these pfm romances are not only long distance, they are long distance from one psycho to another.  i mean, i almost thought thalbergmad was really nice until he posed near the headstone of his last girlfriend.  that caused some red flags.  but, since you like red flags  (posts several hundred red flags near porcorina) go for it!

ok.  there's red flags next to pianistimo.  married, three children, uses piano forum constantly (hmmm), posts randomly including at least three topics under subheading, easily agrees with bob, in fact, sort of follows bob's posts.  (now, bob is in a category all by himself - red flag right there)  are there actually any sane people that post on piano forum.  (looks for someone without red flag - ponders DON JUAN posing with his mother for a pic? - i though don juan was a don juan with half a dozen girls around him).  and, what about those other pics (i mean the ones with only the heads and not the bodies).

that's a very unusual mix, too! 

it's amazing now what they can do with dna testing (checks maternity and paternity).  what if a person was an orphan?  it used to be that you would never know who your parents were unless someone divulged some info.  now, you just go down to a lab and get your bloodwork and then to a crime lab and see if you hit any matches according to the years of your parents.

judge judy is pretty funny, too, with those people that say they don't know who the father of their children is.  and, then, right on tv, they find out.  no.  yes. YES!  how can this be.  it does not look like me.  (what if dna lab mixes up identities and you're stuck with the result - can you get several tests done?)

say, who is -unavailable-?  now i thought someone like this would be posing in the sleeping bag (asleep).  what's booter-bougie doing there?  what is the world coming too?  and what happened to e60m5's hair  and right near the word 'attention'?  and, oh dear, my hero of  piano koji with pink lipstick.  this is too much!  i can't take it anymore.  please, no more pictures.

ok - maybe i'll dare myself to get a pic stealing flowers from my neighbors.  i could get one where they come out yelling and screaming and i go plant them in my plots around the house.  then the last pic - i am dead in my garden.  how's that?  (no. bad idea - but just an idea)

say, does that say 'once upon a time' on the yellow paper up on the ceiling above your head to the right?  you make me die laughing.  and did you take it in a preschool?

do you ever sometimes wonder in actuality where they get preschool teachers?

The picture was taken in a cafe in Wales.

I was reading the newspaper and suddenly saw that article.

My mate mental Martin (who is uglier than me) then took the photo.

It was a great holiday and i have many silly photos.

Lets see your garden then.

btw, that was me in the sleeping bag with boogie. She then texted her mum to tell her what a great night she had.

mental martin?  (another red flag)

yes- it all adds up (trying to take advantage of booter-boogie in her sleeping bag) with the red flags continuously posted.  at least you are not an unknown. 

the tan i was hoping to get this summer has not been as even as i would have liked.  despite my shoulders and legs (from the bicycle shorts on down) being nicely tanned - i have a huge gap inbetween that i don't know what to do with.  maybe some instant bronzer.  it's just a tragedy that keeps repeating itself.  i try to be a good mom, housekeeper, gardener, cook, but everything defeats the purpose of everything else.  then i go to play the piano.  (today i was out in 90 degree heat watching my daughter play soccer).  it's very disorienting to look at pic of myself.   i always think i look better and then am disappointed.  if i only had three days of peace and quiet (and sleep) and maybe glass of champagne in one hand.  (mentally trades in the van for a sportscar)
