ThatWeirdGirl, I’m afraid I’ve gotten you upset or made you mad. I didn’t intend that!

Sorry, you jumped threads too quickly on me. I had to go back to the Gala Pageant thread to dig this up. Once my brain started working, again, that is…

Whew! Now I understand why you ladies liked all the minioning that went on in the old Forgotten Not a Guy/Girl Clubhouse!

Anyway, here is what you said:

I've been studying Mal for several months now, and I am slowly getting the hang of it. Keep your eye on her, and you're sure to get the femininty thing down.

* The Real Me gets a little serious, here. *

I think that you are wrong. Or that this song/poem is wrong. Or sad, at least.

“Hide the real you?”

UNTHINKABLE!

It says to give up what you are. Pretend to be something else to please others. Sacrifice the things that you want or need. I was like that myself for more years than I care to think about. If I have learned one mystical secret in my life, it is that every person should embrace that which they are. They should know themselves, and like themselves. Self-knowledge is powerful. Empowering.

Nothing like the false mask that I had been living in for too long. I know that I only found a chance at happiness once I began to know who I was, once I finally began to understand The Real Me.

And that is why I adopted that name for myself in this place. It is the only one that could fit.

Quote:

Are we supposed to expect something in return?

Of course you should get something in return. Any relationship, from a casual friendship to the deepest love, is based on an exchange. Of course, compromise is necessary in any relationship. But if all the effort is shouldered by one party, if one person gives up everything and gets little or nothing in return, then the relationship fails.

Or never was.

* The Real Me will stop being serious, now, and will fight Ebo for the remaining waffles. *

Umm hey guys i hate to point this out, but Frederick is a boy. I know it was bit confusing what with the pink and yellow polka dotted bow he so loves wearing, but still a boy... Though apparently he hasn't mauled anyone for taking his eggs (yet). Guess we should enjoy 'em before he notices they're gone. Yea, so where do we keep the tire sized plates? I'm gettin' kind hungry myself.

BTW, is the pageant still gonna happen? If so, it appears I'm going to have to start all over as I seem to have left my dress in the other dimension.

Huh. How about that? So Frederick is experiencing an Ebo-like gender confusion problem. Uh. Confusion by others, that is.

But where did HE get the eggs, then?

Uh, Ebo Golem! Could you bring Mai a plate, please?

Now that the current crisis is over, I don't see why we can't continue our pageant(s). Would you consider a gown made entirely of trained butterflies?

Ok, so I spoke to Frederick. It appears he took the eggs from the first T-Rex that nearly killed us all. He suspects we probably shouldn't ate them what with the ill effects they are likely to have on humans. Oh well, they were awful tasty, so I guess it was worth it.

The butterfly dress is a great idea! I'd love to wear it for the pageant.

I think we're done with the pageant as Malicious declared herself winner and walked off with the title and tiara. Still, she looked so beautiful.

I know what you mean about faking it TheRealMe (why is it I feel like Strong Bad talking to The Cheat?) You have to remember the words of Joss: Always be yourself. Unless you suck. Of course, it's a different story if you both know that you're faking it, pretending to be goddess or slave. That can make for a fun evening's entertainment.

So, anyway, waffles and saunas? Awesome. In fact, I'm going to see the rough cut on Pancake Day! Pancakes and Big Damn Movies - does it get any better than this?

Oh, I agree that the pageant for the cross-dressing men is over. And yes, Mal-licious was most lovely in the regalia, as befits her status. However, there was a second pageant for the ladies in bizarre dresses, which was interrupted when some of us went off to search for Mai.

Sorry, I don't know Strong Bad or the Cheat.

* More serious: *

Sure, it's all just playing around, of course. There's no harm in that, and I actually got a big kick out of the flirting/teasing that was going on. (Hey, I can dream, can't I?

)The love of such imaginative games is something that is a part of us, or we would not be making such stuff up and posting to the Treehouse threads.

But what TWG put forth as life advice struck me as something terrible to say, even in jest. Living the expectations of others? Never being yourself? That is something that I escaped from!

I think that you need to be yourself even if you DO suck. That way, you can work on changing that. If a person is terribly shy, for example, then it is fine to work to become bolder, more confident (I did), as long as that is what the person wants to do. But if you change who you are because of someone else's decision, that is almost always a bad thing.

I say "almost always" because there are times when your actions or lifestyle can directly impact others, and it is right for the others to have input. An example could be the case of an abusive alcoholic, for example, or a lazy person who makes no effort to support themselves and lives off of friends and family because that is easy for them. But even in those cases, it would be encouragement that would work better than a decree or an ultimatum.

Oh, yes, that reminds me! I am terribly jealous of you. I expect that you will return here and simply tell us that the movie is awesome, but bring no spoilers with you!

TRM: I agree, why be shy. Not to worry, friend, scones hold a particular, if hard to explain fascination for many humans. Allow me to present a point of view that may (or not) clarify the matter. (Hint: you might want to brew up a nice vat of tea).

"Like a Scone"

I was thinkin'
About the way that the British have their noon tea
like a small snack
where you relax and eat small food in large quantities
a good idea
I would think
that we should do that over here
I love my scones
and I don't think
I ever seem to get enough

soft, warm scones,
I long to eat
clotted cream
or buttered please
If I had one now--
I'd eat that scone
muffins pale when compared
to scones

I'm so hungry
and only scones will cure this emptiness that stays
like a sickness--
scone withdrawl can only be cured by one thing
I think you know
what it is
do I need to say again?
soft, warm scones
are my best friend
I think I'll need one very soon

near a scone
I long to be
magic scones
full of blueberries
nothing cures hunger quite
like a scone
magic food of the Brits
-Shalom-

so will I ne'er
find my destined scone?
will I search in vain
ariving home alone?
Alone with my cream, alone with my butter
and dream of my poor scones
thinking they were forgotten?

with my scones
I need to be
I need them
as they need me
nothing's as comforting
as a scone
nothing calms stomachs quite
like scones

Actually I pronounce it to rhyme with 'con'. American ones? Well, I'm not going to disrespect your cooking seeing as I had some of my best meals ever when I was out there but trust me, these scones are light, fluffy but with character and depth. They're warm and the butter is melting into them with a fluttering of cream on top and real strawberry jam perched perfectly in the middle. *drools*

COZEN

A treatise (ie., poem badly) on the normalcy of shyness.

To be shy with a sleeping bride
Allows her retention of virtue.
To be bold with selfsame spouse:
Shoulda' known was gonna hurt you.
_____

At least I got some sleep.

*Tries to hide painful waddling motion as he approaches "sconed" MG*

*fails*

Forgive me if I'm being a bit bold, thought you might wanna try on this spiffin' new pair of Jurassic snakeskin boots.

*assumes silence = assent*

Might be a bit tightish at first, not to worry.

*Tug*

*grunt*

*TUG*

*Ouch*

*TUG!

*cozen loses grip on shiny boot*

Huh. Didn't realize this was so close to the edge of the floating treehouse.

*plummet*

*splash*

Wow, thanks for the shiny new boots cozen! *Admires pretty pattern of recently deceased snake. Slowly realizes that cozen is no longer kneeling in front of her.* cozen? cozen?! Drat!

*Tosses inner tube colored to resemble a watermelon over the side of the treehouse.* I'm not sure that's seaworthy. It works really well for floating the Madison, though!

My scone! It has been swiped! Horror of horrors!

*Ebo notices that a large plate of scones remains sitting on the bar un-eaten. Using great stealth, she sneaks over to them, grabs the large plate, and starts back towards her pool table. She is about to make it when she trips over a poorly-placed snakeskin boot and falls over, knocking over a lamp. Luckly, no scones are harmed. Un-luckly everybody in the treehouse looks up to see Ebo stealing the rest of the scones.*

Uh-oh.

*Ebo jumps up, dives under her pool table, and quickly foritifies it with couch cusions.*

Mine! The scones are mine!

Four out of five gynecologists recommend calling Ebo a girl.

*hauls self aboard watermelon that held up Madison Ave.*

If Mad. Ave. sinks, will tvland lose all its income so that there'll be no more tv shows?

*Begins liking idea*

*Finds and munches soggy scone*

Yum! Bit salty, though.
