British woman's won 35 million quid on the Eurolottery.

That's my envy button pushed, then.

What pushes yours?

Yeah, that's my biggy. A novel that in my opinion is crap, getting a six figure advance and a movie deal

When a potty-mouthed skank who regularly hurls F-bombs at kids and their parents in public venues gets a deal from her existing publisher for ANOTHER batch of children's books.

ScarletPeaches is writing children's books now?

An enduring relationship of love when I don't/can't have one.

Like OFG & Old Boy or Maryn & Mr. Maryn.

My needs are simple and my wants are few but this is difficult because ...
it takes two.

Seconded.



I've got one of one and two of the other. So who knows?!

:Wha: You've only got one nipple? Was this from some horrible writing accident? Like, when you clutched your first newly penned novel to your breast and suffered a paper cut?

Wow. Horrible nipple disfiguring writing accidents must be more common than I thought.

THINK, Thunder. Just because it was sheared from her flesh doesn't mean she doesn't still have it.

Envy...hmmm...

I envy kids for their first innocent loves, friends, getting to know people they care about. I'd like to go back to my mid teens and not move every six months. I envy people with a home town.

I met a young woman this summer while we were on vacation. She was maybe 19-20 years old. She had just completed high school and was starting college at some Eastern private college as a Creative Writing major. She was excited because she would be studying with some of the great writers of our time. She said how she was going to immerse herself in the best literature of the last 400 years and never come up for air until she had communed with all the masters of the written word. She said this while consuming vast quantities of trans fats, carbohydrates and Coke, wearing a size 2.

and I was envious...

Someone getting a shitty novel published.

OH GOOD CHRIST! Watch out world...I agree wholeheartedly with the beautiful dye-jobbed Scarlet on this one. Although it's not just an envy button...because I wouldn't want my shitty novel to get published. It's more about that the shitty novel got published...I mean, it's an outrage. It hurts the eyes!

But, yes...that hits the button.

My envy button?

"Man trapped in fridge eats own foot to survive"

I'd love to be the one to break that story.

Wasn't breaking out of the fridge enough for you! You have to break the story too?

My envy button: My dad. He gets up, walks his dog, has some breakfast and reads the paper. A bit later, he goes to the pub. Then he'll walk his dog again, have some lunch and nod off. In the evening, he'll go to the pub again.

I have no doubt he'll be doing this long after I've given up on trying to get published and have become a bitter, angry drunk.
