I have this girlfriend right, well, things are getting pretty serious right now. I mean, we chat online for, like, two hours every day so I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious.
We have arranged to meet up, how can I woo her? I'm pretty new on the dating scene.
I figured I would buy her some flowers and maybe a voucher for a glamour photoshoot? girls like that kind of thing right?
Do chicks still dig funky moves and sweet afros?
its easy
just give her your tots...gosh

all kinds of different things but yet no drive / but acts jelous/ but wont talk either
Well part two of previous question lets see have arranged private lunch at work for her %26amp;flowers?
Talk to her, right her a letter, sometimes the drive just isn't there or maybe she's depressed? After awhile things start to get kind boring, so trying something new might help. Is she on any meds. that can sometimes affect drive. Most important thing is foreplay!!!!!!!!

Your house is on fire and you run out of the house in your underwear. When you get to the sidewalk you...?????
Secretly hope that cute neighbor sees you.
Notice that your cute neighbor sees you, and start dancing for him/her.
Smack yourself on the forehead, run back in and start saving your research notes about the dangers of housefires.
Start ranting about the lack of fire sprinklers in residential buildings.
Calm down, talk to a flower, and whistle country music.
Smack yourself on the forehead, run back in and start saving your computers.
Call your mother to tell her.
Wonder if there is a chatroom for victims of housefires.
Blame yourself for the fire.
Sigh, hug your pets, and yell for a neighbor to call the fire department.
Decide to write a haiku about the experience.
Call your agent and arrange for a photo op.
Call the local media.
Take issue with the type of firehose the firemen are using.
Decide to write a non-fiction book about victims of housefires.
Others.....say it

Reply:I'm getting my flowers from Proflowers weddings. We're eloping on July 10th so it was really important to find an online vendor that could ship our flowers to our destination on short notice.
They have a lot of different packages. The only downside is that they don't sell things a la carte. All I really needed was a bouquet. Their prices are very reasonable and their packages are great!

Also, check Ebay for silk flower decorations.

My 1st year anniversary?
So far heres what I have planned....
We will go to a nice, fancy restaurant for dinner all dressed up(obviously, I will pay for it all). While we are at dinner, her brother will set up things I have bought for her room for a suprise(she has no idea). There will be scented candles places around the room, rose petals thrown all over the bed and room, a CD playing meaningful music to us and special songs, and massage oil which I will use to give her the massage of her life. While eating a wonderful dinner, a waiter will bring some meaningful flowers I have arranged to be delivered by suprise. We will come home to see her will decorated room where I will look into her eyes and read a meaningful card I have written for her, telling her how much I love her with many different personal things I have written inside of it. While the music plays, I will ask her to close her eyes, as I place a beautiful ring on her finger and kiss her than tell her to open her eyes. It becomes more intimate...
My 1st year anniversary?
Aww. That's sweet. My one year's in two months : )
Reply:Here's something creative that will be appreciated and you will have fun doing:
Make up a crossword puzzle and have all the hints be personal inside moments and jokes that only you two would know about. Put it on a poster board and add some clipart and some pictures to it!
The crossword puzzle could be time consuming and a bit frustrating ... you could do the same idea with a WORDSEARCH or WORDFIND puzzle.
Put your computer skills to work! Use Excel, get clipart from Yahoo Images Search, copy them, and reformat them, use a gluestick to put on posterboard.
Use graph paper, and pictures from magazines if you are not as good on the computer, and it will give it a homemade feeling.

(another one of these) Will you read/criticize my college application essay?
I'm applying to Oberlin, Smith, Dickinson, Bryn Mawr, Occidental, and Grinnell, and my essay needs work. Will you proofread it for me?
email me at naybubs3@yahoo.com
Here's the first bit of it (arg. embarrassing)
I had waited impatiently for nearly an hour while the thick, warm aroma saturated the air. Finally it was done. The heat from the oven escaped, and I was able to retrieve the hot crumpled aluminum. I heard the faint sizzling inside and unwrapped the package carefully, barely touching it, my fingertips jumping away so as not to get burned. The cloves of garlic, arranged like a flower, were perfect: brown in places, and glistening yellow with olive oil. I pulled out a soft, mushy clove with a fork, and mashed it onto a piece of a baguette. It was sweet, mellow, rich, and satisfying. I became absorbed in the food, and had finished savoring the entire clove within a few minutes. It was worth the wait.
I have always been happy in the kitchen.

Can someone read part of my story (in the question) and tell me what you think?
I am 13 and I plan to be either a journalist or a musician. Please be honest!
Brenda took in a long breath of fresh air from the balcony at the top of her house. She turned around and walked slowly into the bedroom she was given to change into. She sighed. This was supposed to be the day that would be the happiest day of her life. It was her wedding day. She wanted to walk down the flower filled aisle, staring at the man she loved. This was not her magical day; it was her worst nightmare. She walked over to the life size mirror and stared at herself.
"Wed to the man I hate on my arranged marriage." She told herself. She was born into a family that were slaves to the snobbiest people in all of California. The Duncans. She was arranged to marry the Duncans son, Aaron. He was the most stuck-up little brat she knew. Yet, she had her whole life ahead of her. All of it was crushed. She was doomed to a false marriage.
Tell me what you think of it! I have other stories too! Thanks! :D
Can someone read part of my story (in the question) and tell me what you think?
I really like it. You capture my attention and made me picture the scene. Keep writing. I hope I can see more of your story.
Reply:you need to elaborate and describe in a more descreet way. Everything you say is straight up. oh, she was born into the slave family for the duncans... no one knows who the duncans are; why does she have to marry him. what does the bathroom; the weddinghall, herself, her husband look like.
sorry, i sound so mean; but DESCRIBE!!!

Reply:It's not so bad. you did a pretty good job at grabbing my attention and keeping it. Work on your sentences though. You have too many that begin with 'She-' and it makes the whole thing a bit blocky. Try to be more creative with your sentence structure, something as simple as saying 'As she stared into the mirror at her reflection, she murmured quietly to herself..." is enough to make the whole paragraph flow better.
And since this is only a little excerpt into your story it's okay that we don't know who the Duncans are or anything, these are only two paragraphs...
Reply:First of all, the balcony at the top of her house. Where else would a balcony be but on the top floor? Seems redundant.
Flower-filled has a hypen.
Awkward quote, needs rewording. "Wed to the man I hate on my arranged marriage." (seems like it should be a question)

Reply:really good!!!
keep writing!
Reply:I like it. I do think you have talent, because as I read I began to invision the whole thing. The only thing I would change is the word "snobbiest" and the expression "stuck up brat". The story sounds like a "classic", but those expressions don't fit into the story. Excellent.
Reply:too many "she did this, she did that" %26lt;%26lt; that makes it boring.
If you're gutsy enough and plan to finish works, fictionpress.com is great for getting good feedback... but don't put up anything you want to publish.
Reply:I like it although you'll need to work on grammar and style a bit more. Still, it's really good! I really want to keep reading this story and any others you might have.
good job and good luck!
Reply:For your age, it's a very good start. There are a few grammatical and phrasing errors, but you do inspire interest in the rest of the story. Don't forget to establish the "when" (slaves in California) more clearly. Also, as an example, "room she was given to change into" is a bit clumsy. How about "room given to her in which to change". A question does come to mind - if it's her house, why did she have to be "given" a room?

Reply:For your age, it's a very good start. There are a few grammatical and phrasing errors, but you do inspire interest in the rest of the story. Don't forget to establish the "when" (slaves in California) more clearly. Also, as an example, "room she was given to change into" is a bit clumsy. How about "room given to her in which to change". A question does come to mind - if it's her house, why did she have to be "given" a room?
