The magic pencil...
Ash
The big yellow pencil that wrote in white and showed you how to write
letter's when you were a little kid, such a cool little TV program, with
the "Up, and down, around and done" rhymes, and I saw it today, oh, how
I laughed with nostalgia, remembering the good old days of primary
school.
I was a strange lad, I considered suicide, aged six.

No, you see, the whole thing is, that you create an image of juvenile

Ash has a purpose:
>Ash, if it moves, flirt with it.
This reminds me of a conversation I had while I was awaiting
to see Star Wars : Episode I (a movie which I highly believe should
have gone direct-to-video and cannot believe I spent $8.25 for) but
anyway.
What exactly is flirting?
The reason I say this was because I was making conversation or small
talk to the person who takes your movie ticket and rips it in half
so they can keep a count or something. You know, that person. And
after, my friend Mi was amusedly giggling at me. Of course, I was like
"What?" and she was like "You were flirting with her." and I was like
"What?!" and she said, "You were!" which went on into said conversation.
Apparently, according to her and a few other people, flirting involves
some conversation with strangers. To me, this is disconcerting because
I will generally speak to anyone if I feel like it and you *have* to
speak with strangers or else, how do you make any friends?
My thinking seems to be very alien to those around me. One learns much.
I just don't know if it's the right thing to learn.

dollars, but still.)

I wouldn't go quite that far. I think flirting has to have some sort of
intent showing (even subtly) and/or involve some excuse to stay around the
person longer than would otherwise occur. IMHO, incidental conversation
isn't flirting. If it is, I've done a lot more flirting than I realize.

I think that's one of the easier ways. But suppose you just got into
college or grad school or you moved to somewhere new or you're on vacation
etc.etc.etc. people don't usually reach out? I mean, there are people who
are being paid to be helpful and friendly to strangers, I'm sure there are.

We are. Unfortunately. It kind of works out because there aren't a lot
of movies I'm really dying to go and see full price. I'd rather pay
4.25 for Austin Powers or 6 dollars for Orson Welles than be tricked and
see "Instinct".

I've always thought that as well. If not trying to stay around longer,
then trying to establish more of a connection with Person Of Desire.
Hopefully that made sense.
Maybe it's the people I hang out with. They sometimes keep misconstruing
or intentionally act not-their-ages when it comes to other people's
love lives (even though they may be nonexistent at the time.)

Being paid to flirt? How cool!
I'll be serious now.
I think "flirting" is a word that is misused a lot now. Like "bint".
That has always meant woman to me. I've always said it. But the other
day a girl was slagging off another girl calling her that.
Flirting is defiantly when you have an ulterior motive...

I was, of course, being facetious; I said you're *supposed* to be formally
introduced, without suggesting that that was really the best way to go
about it. But if you want to be serious, it's a big problem and I don't
know the solution.
>debbie - laser networking? what is that?
The idea is that instead of paying an evil corporation for network
services, why can't everyone just connect their computers together and
build a network for free, to mutual benefit? Lasers are one of my
suggestions on the technical side of how to do that, because they could
provide a lot of bandwidth really cheap.

tv? ohh, yeah. tv.
Peter's fantasy early hours of the morning tv schedule:
One of the best things about not having anything to do, ever, is, of course,
that you can watch loads of television. Most people use this exciting
opportunity to watch daytime TV. But *my* favourite programmes are those
that are between midnight and 6.00am - yes, I'm talking about classic shows
like "the Big E," "Videofashion," "Sport am," "Bhangra Beat," "Gaz top Non
Stop," and " Cinema, cinema cinema." So below I've done my fantasy
best-ever night of early-hours-of-the-morning television. If you've got
things like a job, and friends, you might not have heard of all these
programmes. If so, why not record the shows on your video machine, put them
together in the order below, and watch them on your own, slightly drunk,
with 5 bags of crisps, a pint of milk and 60 Silk Cut cigarettes.
yes, I found the fist of fun book at last. hurrah.
babysitting gives me so much more money to waste.

well, to most people it's a bit.. icky
but I loved it. ickle people should take off their wellies and jump in
puddles barefoot. it's amazing. the other night I had tights on in the
rain, and that was nice too. I'm a bit worried about just wearing tights
when there's so many stones and broken bottles about, what if I cut my
tights?
anyway, I don't think of it as a bad thing, I'm just re-emphasising it,
because being barefoot in the rain is so yay. even if fools do offer to
carry you across the station carpark. but yay. everyone should go to
bishops stortford, in the rain, and take their shoes off, and go to st

I remember when I was in Ireland, and this kid on skates what going

Only way we make any trade north of Birmingham....
So, you want formal introductions, or do you really?
Ever heard of a widget? "Oh Crystallised, don't give me those looks." A
widget is what single people wear, like a strange bracelet, or an
interesting necklace... (keeps his eyes of your cleavage) and a person
can come up to you and say "Excuse me, but I couldn't help admiring
your... what is that?" See, some way to begin a conversation.
Or, if at a party, you want to meet someone, ask a friend, say; "Who is
that?" and say; "Could you take me over, and say hi for me, so I don't
feel stupid."
If, as you say, you have moved somewhere new, and you want to meet
people, why not forget the formal introductions, but there is a little
trick, if people try to smile and meet you;
"When they smile, turn to them, smile sweetly and say "Hi, would you
like to join us?" or "me?" depending on how many there are.
Yes, yes, these tricks, I know them all.
People sometimes do reach out, it's just you have to be open, and
confident to be welcoming, so they WANT to reach out further, even
smiling can be flirting.
Somebody smiles at you, instead of just flashing a smile back, take a
half-second, then let a smile wash over your face like a wave, let your
whole face feel at ease, and make the person feel that this smile is
JUST for them.
I will tell you about my real friends, Mark van Kalles, (MVK)
and Alex Mortimore (AM).
AM, and MVK are not the most confident with women, MVK can joke and talk
with them, but AM crashes and burns, he's very shy, still the mummys
boy, but I like them, they are cool.
If there is one thing these guys cant do well, it's meet women, off the
cuff.
Say, on a holiday.
Now, MVK isn't too bad, he isn't me, but only I am me, lucky lot that
you are....
AM saw this cute sixth former he liked, now if I hadn't had to catch my
train, I would have moved in, but... c'est la vie.
She's new, he wouldn't even talk to her.... *sigh*
So do you know the best way for him to meet her? Through me maybe...
Some of my friends are shy, they need a "host" to open conversation.
Go on holiday with friends, or maybe ask a holiday rep if you are at a
resort, because I knew one, and I said to her; "There is no way, I could
talk to her." So she dragged me over, and I talked about being sorry,
about getting dragged over, I made her laugh, and we were friends over
the holiday.
After that, I was me.
Bloody hell, the length of this....
I suggest, you take a friend on holiday, or ask a rep, meet a nice rep,
preferably one of the same sex, but women no matter what are good, make
sure they are fun-loving, and if flirting with the opposite sex rep
doesn't work, ask to be introduced.
They will understand... trust me.
Hope that was worth reading, I'm sure there is some serious flame
ammunition in there, Crystallised will probably complain about the
mention of her.... etc.

Yeah, waitress' and sometimes waiters, and people in lifts.
I was waiting for a train home after my exams, in combat trousers and a
suit jacket, sun shining, I'm in shades (Shut up Cat) and two girls come
to the train station, and a little kid between them, and I thought, if
one gets on the train, I'm asking about the kid.
The older one got one, twenty two I think she was, and she sat down at
the back, opposite me, I smiled and said; "Your son?"
"No," she laughed. "My sister is a nanny."
"No, I guess not you look too young." I said.
"Thanks."
"So where are you going?"
"Oh, to Crewe (my stop) then to London."
"I love London, what's the interest, for one so beautiful?"
"Oh, you are so sweet... I'm going to see my boyfriend." she replied.
"Oh, the lucky man, tell him how jealous I am." I said.
"I will."
"And if it doesn't work out, I would love to have dinner sometime."
"Ah, it's actually pretty serious, we are engaged," (ring)
"Ah, the lucky... lucky..."
"So," she asked. "Where are you going?"
"To Crewe, then home."
"Not to London?"
"No, just back from... exams." I reply.
"Oh?" she looked surprised. "You're eighteen?"
"No.. GCSE's." I grin.
"You are kidding, oh my god, you don't look it." she smiled. "Do you
know how old I am?"
"Twenty five?"
"Twenty eight."
We joked around a lot after that, and the time swept past.
THAT is what I consider flirting.
>Apparently, according to her and a few other people, flirting involves
>some conversation with strangers. To me, this is disconcerting because
>I will generally speak to anyone if I feel like it and you *have* to
>speak with strangers or else, how do you make any friends?
Now, whether you were flirting with ticket-babe or not, is not for me to
say.... (because I've said a lot already) it depends WHAT you said.
>My thinking seems to be very alien to those around me. One learns much.
>I just don't know if it's the right thing to learn.
My opinion is such; Flirting is about what you say, not how you meet, or
who introduces you.
Flirting is, to me, about making people feel good about themselves,
making them laugh, and making them smile.
I don't think; "Damn, I didn't get her number." I think "Damn, I didn't
make her smile, did I even cheer her up at all?"
To, succeeding or failing or flirting is not about numbers, but making
people happy.
I've only ever made one person cry when I was there, I was almost sick.
I'm like that.
Now, I have to conclude, that flirting is about WHAT you say, just idle
conversation isn't flirting. "Damn, cold weather." "Yeah." "I hate it
like this."
No... there are fine grades to flirting, and people see it when it's
there, and don't when it's not.
If you weren't flirting with the ticket-babe, then you weren't no matter
what your friends decide.
My parents get really annoyed, because I flirt with waitress` when we go
out for dinner... we haven't been to dinner together in a year.
Anyway... is that spew enough.
Ash

Flirted with her all night. Spent the night drinking with her son.

Oh, I have to say that *all* the time. I have friends, they comment on
a guy, and I just walk up to them... It can be fun, but it's annoying
when they get the wrong idea and think it's you that like them. Then
your friends get annoyed.

It's only June 20th, and already I have two minor idiots trying to put

Thanks for being here for me, there is no one else I like to pick on
more.

Been there, done that, you flirt with a guy... ahem... girl, and all the
girls, I mean guys... get really annoyed, I just go over and talk, to
try and get them to come over, but you know... damn shy fools.

Oh, I will approach them no matter what, which is why I have a terrible
reputation, sleazy, etc, which is annoying, because I'm just a big
flirt.

How about just Ab? or Abigail? As was suggested, thank you Cat.
