Royal Scorpio Eco Warrier

england's prince charles is an ugly fucker but a november 14th scorpio nevertheless and a pretty cool guy too. he is famed for combating climate change and for his love of british agricultural products and now he has found a way to combine the two: according to the prince's 07/08 annual review, which is a disclosure of the royals' financial activity for one fiscal year, the prince has apparently begun filling his personal sports car with surplus wine sourced from england. charles' 38 year old aston martin, a 21st birthday present from the queen, is now running on wine-based bioethanol, whereas his jaguar, audi and range rover cars and royal train run on biodiesel, sourced from used cooking oil.

LOL!!! i don't think my car would take too kindly to wine or cooking oil actually otherwise i might be tempted to follow the prince's lead. perhaps when i get an aston martin and preside over my own railroad, i can be as eco-friendly as he is.

lolol

you crack me up, lady.

listen to me for a second....

i have an inquiry, and don't feel like starting a separate thread.

i was talking to someone today about online dating. she was saying that ppl often warn against it, because of the level of obscurity, but that she doesn't see a problem with it. me, i am a skeptic.

she was saying that she knows quite a few ppl who have successful relationships with someone they met online, as do i.

so anyway...

she mentioned that you can learn alot about someone through their interaction, even if you can't see them. do you think that's true? like, how much do you think you can "read" a person by communicating w/ them online?

so how much can you gather, just from your online interaction, chaka khan? and how do you go about doing this?

"you can learn alot about someone through their interaction, even if you can't see them. do you think that's true?"

Not necessarily ... a persons words really don't mean much without being able to witness facial expressions, tone, body language.

When you read a book, the author HAS to spend a great amount of time explaining through history of the character, so that you can have a clear vision of what kind of person this character is, in order for you to be able to get to know the character. If the author just wrote about verbal interactions each character had with each other .. certainly, you'd be able to comprehend the words .. but, not the intent of the words without any knowledge into behaviour and personality.

Now, if all people online spent 100 pages giving you descriptions of themselves, like an author has to do with building character, then perhaps, you'd be able to discern their intent with interactions with other people.

If that were true, then fiction could just be the climax ... and we would all "get" the plot.

You make valid points, P-Angel.

""They have have better verbal skills than written but the topics, the gist of their interaction remained the same.""

Really? Interesting. I thought most ppl expressed themselves better when writing compared to speaking.

I get what you're saying. Like, when I exchange IMs with friends, I immediately recognize their unique "language". Sometimes, it is almost as if we were in person.

she was saying that she knows quite a few ppl who have successful relationships with someone they met online, as do i.

Yes, I do too. There's this odd awareness when you are typing to someone verses talking to them or even being face to face. You can learn quite a bit about someone just by readin what they type.

People show you who they are, you just have to pay attention

So...

Can/Do you get "vibes" from ppl online?

Well we all have our opinions about the whole online dating, there's something oddly sane about the whole thing 🙂 I think its different and exciting, well depends if you have the balls to do it, and I don't LOL!!!

I like to think I can pick up on vibes, even online. I only exchange PMs with those from whom I get "good vibes".

With vibes alone I was able to know who Aqua was, antibling, ctoun and some others on here.

Does that include me SB —? 🙂

I'm an emotional wreck but everyone knows that, doesn't take much to figure that out

Some people say its not possible, but you have to remember that not everyone is open to the same types of "internal channels of communication" (I know, probably sounds SCI-FI, but I believe in that), but IMO this would only apply to conversations via chatrooms and not e-mails or message boards. With the person LIVE, responding to your questions, you can pick quite a few things about his/her character

Evan you know your stuff man. Geez, I couldn't have put any better. Thats what I was trying to say but you put it into words better

Nope, SB is SB and ctone is ctone 🙂

"Can/Do you get "vibes" from ppl online?"

Absolutely! And trust it. The only vibes I've ever gotten from people on online dating sites were off the "bald-faced liar" variety. But as sb said, you get those in real life too. Difference is, there are a lot more a person can lie online.

Also, just expect that that picture is most likely from 1997. 🙂

*there are a lot more things a person can lie about online. 🙂

""But at the same token, I can easily alter my writing style to throw someone off.""

LOL! Don't make me spit out my water. Your online persona reveals very much about yourself, believe it or not. You're an open book, branh, no matter how much you like to believe you are not.

You can be scammed easily offline too. I think intuition plays an important role.

""Also, just expect that that picture is most likely from 1997. ""

hahahahaaa

I also rely on my heightened intuition. I swear to god, I think I have a heightened intuition. Don't laugh.

"And for the first times in YEARS I agree with Sea Siren. Unprecedented."

:::breaks out ice skates as apparently hell hath frozen over:::

Usually, if I tell someone I don't have a good feeling about a particular person, it later comes out that the individual was far from who they claimed to be. Now, my family/friends don't brush off my assessments like they used to....

""I swear I know what notso's or Ms Pisces' voice sounds like even if Ive never heard it..call me crazy ""

- lol You probably do, honey! 😉

Well, then, I'm psychic. I swear it. Ask my mom.

lol

Don't go there, Branh. No, you didn't.

I dunno, I have a friend who believes she's psychic too. When she offers me one of her "revelations", I'm like, "uh, no! that's so not it. listen to me, for pete's sake."

lmao

i crack myself up.

""We should all start joint "Psychic" business, with Lady M running the show of course""

You're late. We already have. Archer co-leads with Aqi.

""A vibe doesnt mean you believe everything someone says. A vibe tells you what to believe, what not to believe, and when someone is genuinely nice vs. the scheming you describe.

But thats what I meant about ppl who use logic over intuition all the time. Logic will send off a trigger that oh, this person is way too nice, hes up to something..and yet, you could very well be wrong. Intuition will tell you whether that person is genuine or not..and you can tell even if they aren't the overly nice types of people.""

- Ditto

Branh, you're starting not to make any sense.

Anyway, who are the 6 or 7 ppl you can name off the top of the head? Go ahead.

I thought I had a really deep voice. But when I called to make an appt the other day, the receptionist said, "omg. you don't sound your age at all, you sound like a little girl!" then she imitated me. LOLOL i was like, ew, that's awful.

Humans don't even use logic the way you're suggesting. Our brains make adjustments and "updates" that do not follow logic. for example, many of us unknowingly delay gratification for unexplained reasons. Everyone does it. That's why it kills me when ppl like branh are like, "oh, i'm so logical, look at how effectively i employ logic." this is just not so. don't delude yourself, bud.

branh

you're a punk. say who you think "manufactures" their online persona.

i want to believe that everyone has some sort of an intuitive nature. even you, sb. it is there, even if not readily put to use.

you play alot of kiddie games, branh. at least admit that you do.

told you he was an open book. schoolyard flashbacks. like pulling girls hair and running.

uh, ppl can have more than one job/profession in a lifetime, dingbat. and she told me before that her dad was a behavioral analyst, if i'm not mistaken. don't try to defame her.

nobody accused you of outright lying. you play childish games nonetheless. let's be real here.

:::trying to figure out why anyone who doesn't believe in intuition would be on an astrology board:::

you said there were 6 or 7 ppl who you perceive to be fake. name them.

""Actually I come here to analyze things, or state my views on things.""

You come here to make friends. This is true.

"Actually I come here to analyze things, or state my views on things. It's a small forum, it also helps me sharpen my debating skills."

You could do that on a psychology message board. If you want debate, politics or religion. There must have been something particular about the topic that drew you here initially.

Name. The. Fakes. Punk. Ass.

OH

MY

GOD

WTF HAPPENED—??

prince charles.......aston martin......wine-based fuel....online dating.......moon in gemini.

fuzzy wuzzy was a bear
