Paint that wagon

Jan 15, 2007 11:20

I was lying on a giant overstuffed beanbag chair in a friend's flat in London. My spine assumed a convex curve as the beans (or whatever the hell it was stuffed with...my friend is not renowned for his decorating choices. I mean hello...beanbag chair!) shifted to suit my form. My legs splayed out onto the floor and my head tipped back over the ( Read more... )

Out of curiosity, had your name been in the dictionary, what would it have said?

fab_boy January 16 2007, 03:20:32 UTC

Well, that's a good question. Probably something like this:

Wainwright, Rufus (b. 1974), Canadian-American singer-songwriter, Nobel-Prize-Grammy-Oscar-Tony-People's-Choice-Emmy-Booker winner, genius, and all-around sex god.

That would do nicely.

Happy pseudo 5 year anniversary to you, Rufus. Plus a week it looks like.

fab_boy January 15 2007, 20:43:48 UTC

I added a small addendum to address that. I was thinking about it, but unfortunately LJ hasn't yet invented an attachment for our skulls that will negate our need for a keyboard.

Thank you, Ry-guy. I'm glad you're around.

It took me a couple glances to notice it. But aw. You should come out a little more often. Make life more interesting.

You never said anything about my boots when I posted a picture of them so I'm going to say you never saw them and need to see them now to tell me what you think. Click. Second row, second column.

My name has three entries in the dictionary, none of them capitalised. 2 out of 3 deal with death, blood and/or general darkness (fitting? I think so lol) but the 3rd...

1. A triangular or tapering piece of cloth forming a part of something,
as in a skirt or sail.
2. A small triangular piece of land.

(Middle English, from Old English gāra, triangular piece of land.)

Now, the real question is: Did you get out of that bean bag chair without looking like a complete tit? That's the mark of a truly zen person. ;)

Now I want someone to design me a silk gore. In baby blue. And when I am triumphant as the King of Wainwright, Alberta, I will annex a small gore of land in the Pacific as my holiday retreat.

Did you get out of that bean bag chair without looking like a complete tit?

....Yes. No one can prove otherwise.

A non-fucked-up person in New York... That's indeed rare. I haven't found one yet, do they hide on purpose?

fab_boy January 16 2007, 14:54:39 UTC

I haven't found one yet, either! The one I was speaking of was located in London. I think they have secret clubs. Though, really, I wouldn't want to surround myself with too many of them. Fucked up people are generally more interesting ;)

kapranosfranz January 18 2007, 07:05:52 UTC

I'll take on reading classes again... But they must have little secret nerdy clubs, I'd like to be there for a night, just to see what that's like.

Warm milk and Proust.

Wishing to dictionary yourself? Sounds like someone has high ambitions! You should check out my keywords some time, Rufus.

fab_boy January 16 2007, 15:56:46 UTC

Oh no, kitten. It's even bigger than that. Not only do I want to be in the dictionary...I want to be in all the dictionaries. Even the abridged versions!

Every child strives to be more sucessful than its parents. Especially children of famous people (though I think the bar has been set too high for a few of them). If my mom has a dictionary entry, then I want one, too. And one all to myself because she has to share hers with her sister.

You should check out my keywords some time, Rufus.

Oh my god! I'd better release that new record soon before you run out of phrases.

Very flattering, sweetie. But how on earth do you keep them all straight in your head? I can barely remember mine when I give them keywords like "scarf" and "smile" and "Rufus looking hot." Ok, well, I look hot most of the time, so that was a poor choice. But still!

Anyway, I will answer your icon with my chocolate milk icon. Cigarette icon to follow if we continue this thread.

sabullock January 17 2007, 01:02:30 UTC

That's what I'm talking about. Watch out, Webster. I think you're very right about children striving to be as successful or more so than their parents. I certainly did. My mom was an opera singer, so I had to show her up and it still didn't seem too impressive for her.

Haha yes you do! It took a while to set them straight, and sometimes I still don't remember and I think they've been my keywords since June. Some of them do go or at least in my head I can make some weird connection (this icon, obviously.. leaning! haha). I just like the way you put your words together and when I listened to your songs one day I was all mmm those would be delicious keywords!

fab_boy January 17 2007, 15:48:09 UTC

You know what's funny...the first time I read the first sentence, I thought you were talking about Webster, the Emmanuel Lewis one. Something about children and success in the next sentence. Total brain fart. Webster. Dictionary. Riiight. Gotcha.

Omg, your mom was an opera singer? God, you're so lucky. Though maybe if my mom had been an opera singer, I would have cultivated an obessive love for folk music instead of the other way around. Anyway, I'm sure your mom is very proud of you. Even if you're only a wildly successful movie star ;)

Thank you, sweetie. In LJ-land, this is considered one of the highest compliments, I think.
