Sometimes, I really dislike being totally non-innuendo-ish. Other times, it makes me feel like I have a kind of moral superiority.

It's just because you're young and innocent. You'll learn when you're older. [Razz]

I resent that.

1. I may be young and innocent, but I am not that young and innocent. I'm a lot less innocent than I was, say, three years ago. However, because I do not try to hear innuendo, or try to put it in (unless I'm in a really odd mood), I tend to just gloss over other people's.

2. In real life, this isn't a problem. People usually smirk, so I can tell. On the internet, it's more difficult.

3. I get the feeling I have a "sweet and innocent, fluffy, bunnies and flowers" type reputation.

Considering I just wrote an exam on English criticism you'd think I'd have picked up on it as well. But then, you're just a sweet and innocent kind of guy, aren't ya? What was your favourite kind of apple again? [Wink]

Anyway, I'm just going to chalk it up to my wanting to tell my story.

Not to discourage you, Teshi, but at nearly 23, I *still* can't get rid of my sweet and innocent sunshine and flowers reputation. It can be handy, I admit, but sometimes I really wish people would learn the difference between honest and innocent...

Edit: How'd the exam go, Dan?

You know, in some circles I have that sort of reputation myself. [Smile] It can be useful.

Why am I not remembering what the apple thing is about? Is it, perhaps, a little too much time spent with my good friend Alexander Keith? ( [Big Grin] )

Ah. [Blushing]

I probably would have caught that IRL, but I seem to think of Hatrack as a sunshine and flowers kinda place. Except for when KQ posts, obviously. [Razz]

When I think "queen of Hatrack innuendo," my mind does not immediately jump to KQ.

I don't mind being sunshiny cheerful optimism, but I don't like being lambs, puppies and bunnies. It's simply not me!

I need a way to project another image.

EDIT: Perhaps a signature that strikes fear into the hearts of my enemie, followed by a smile, to show although I may be fierce, I'm also cheerful:

[Mad] [Smile]

What do you think?

I dunno about bunnies. I wouldn't go that far. But "pure as the driven snow?" Yes, I would say that.

That does not, however, detract from your many other awesome qualities. [Smile]

I'm not asking for qualities. I'm just saying. This what I mean. I never go fishing for compliments! (Okay, sometimes, but not ONLINE) You have no idea what sort of person I am, other that my innocentness, which I'll admit to.

Hmph [Smile] .

Well thank you very much, twinky, but I'm honestly not looking for compliments. Also, I am not all that articulate in person, so it's not even all that correct. I don't mean to be mean.

Let's change the conversation topic. I'm feeling a little like I'm under a magnifying glass.

EDIT: Thank you, ElJay...

Another request for a place to stay in Toronto on May 16th & 17th for my roommate and I, in case you all hadn't seen it before.

Does someone who's going to this hatrack.ca thingy actually LIVE around Toronto(i.e. within an hour's drive) on a permanent basis? :-P

You. Are. Amazing.

Wow.

(A little choppy on the runs ( [Wink] That's my criticism), but still, holy crumpets!)

And it is a very lovely piece. I'm going to find a piano and make you perform it when you come.

No no no no. I can't perform it. It isn't ready. There are swaths of melody in the middle that still escape me. [Edit: Yeah, this piano is so crisp that it really shows every little error. I wasn't aware how choppy my runs were until playing it on this today.]

Temposs, I don't live in or near Toronto. Sorry... [Frown]

I really couldn't have it ready in two weeks. Something simpler, maybe, but if I work really really hard Lylatov might be ready by, say, Christmas. It's difficult.

The part I have recorded there is the easy part. Seriously. There's a lot of two on three, four on six, and other weirdness that gives me fits in the remaining five pages. Musically it's very simple, but technically it's challenging. I'm hoping the fact that I love it will give me incentive to practice. [Smile]

[Eek!] wow...

So,

have we decided zoo vs. CN Tower yet?

Is the zoo on the subway line?

Very sorry for the rerailing, but I would really like to know the answers... maybe we should have a vote zoo vs. CN tower?

The zoo is far away... much less accessible that the CN Tower which is of course on a Subway line.

There are buses that head out to the zoo, I believe, but I can't imagine it would be easy to get to.

If it were easy to get to, I would vote Zoo, because I'm been to the CN Tower many times, but since it's not I'm more ambivalent.

Desdemona... I think we might end up splitting the group. I'd really like to meet you, but things seem like they'll be difficult with you having your home stay student there and planning stuff with your parents and everything. Could we maybe plan on meeting for dinner Saturday night? That way if you guys go to the zoo Saturday while we're at the Science Center we could still all meet up in the evening and the whole group would get a chance to meet you. Would that be okay, or do you already have plans? Plus then if there does end up being a group going to the CN Tower on Sunday and you want to join them, we can work out the details then.

I think that I'll just stop posting here and confusing everybody, including myself, until I have everything sorted out.

Feel free to go back to your music discussions!

Hey, looking at those packages, they include deals for hotel and Science Center, and hotel and zoo. The Science Center one includes tickets for 2 adults and 2 kids, so it might not end up being cheaper for us, but anyone who is certainly going to the zoo and staying in the hotel should probably book that way... Or at least check zoo prices, and see if it's a good deal.

Depending on your room type preference, the "stay two nights, get the third night free" package can save you a significant chunk of change. Just a heads-up. [Smile]

You can't book packages online, though, you have to contact them either by phone or email.
