Il'l TaKe My BarbieS aND go HomeE

Rate: 27 Flag

When I person is a writer they write their whole heart and the holes in their heart and they try real hard real hard.  They expose themself not like that man inthe park (must have been cold out--real cold out or he got shrunk in the dryer ONE WORD: Vigra) and this writer person strives for greatness strives it is like that song from St. Elmo's FIIRE is playing each time they write--Der-derder-der-der..der...Der-derder-der..der.  It is like INCREdible OBstacles around this place!!! First off, two eldderty people live here and thyere is always inteertuption.  The grandma does the walking fart downt the hall---PLUUUUUURRRRRPPPP-plurp plrup and still the st. elmo's music swells and she writer writers on though her eyebrows be singed.  Then there is the neeedddy mother. " Writer is writing and all sudden looks up and like a ghost needy mother has appeared silently imploring then unsilently asking for something else or delivering a messeage from Granny.  Then there is Pope chihuahua who puts his litle Pope head under ahnds and feet of writer, known as his 'mama' and he nudges and nudges and whines and headbutss.

Also, if he diesn't get his way, Pope has been known tocommit a passive  aggressive do-do. Uncle Bubby, writer's borhter, has been known to call out, "Pope did an inapproriate do-do behind the couch" (this is just after POpe went on a walk with writer and REFused to do-do) or "Damnit! Pope peed  on these papers!" and writer umust clean it up

And Grandma "Granny" besides  fartwalking down the hall, also loves to complain.  (glad I iddn't get that gene) Granny is deaf so writer can yell back nd not be heard.  So Granny says, "And she (writer) didn't do a good job on the eleeaves!"  (WRITER:  I neverh  siaid i was finished yet!!!!!) Granny:  "They keep saying theyr gonna clean up that porch!!"

WRITer: "You've CLAIMED for 30YEARs you'd clean thi sHOUSe and NEVER DID!!!!!!!!"

Granny to writer's mother:  Is she saying something?

Writer's mother  nervously LOOks toward back of house: "No."

Granny, suspecting something: "I guess I should NEVer say anything. I'll jsut keep my mouth shut for the rREst of MY days!"

writer: You PROMISE??

Grany to writer's mother: Is she saying something?

Writer's mother:  No

So writer is stuick here through loadas of guilt and lack of money.  SHe asked m. chariot to mary her and take her away. she tried to be co-ket-ish and flrity first and she read him say on his websitethat he 's "Offering Discreet Tutelage in the Metropolitan Arts to Inquiring Gentlepersons of Variously Misguided Social Persuasions ........................................ " so she wrote him and said:

 

"Kindsir: I would like to get tuteled. By you.  How does that waork?"

At fist no response, but after while she got back a reply:

"My dear Mademoiselle Black ~


The foremost means by which your expertise in the Metropolitan Arts can be developed is to read my blog - religiously!

Yours in Urban Elegance,

Monsieur Chariot"
SO writer throught maybe he didn't get innuendo.  she wrote a marriage propoasal. 
And got NOwhere!
She has flrited with several men.  Some iignored her.  Some turned out married  Two turned out gay (who would have thought??/Catamite?????????). She is thinking of workin on a few women.
It is like she is Winona Ryder in Dracula nad looking up at Dracula and saying 'tkae me away from all this death" (and just hten her grandma farts pluurp plurrp PLUUURRRRRP and he knows just what she means)

And you know what would help her feelings?  (hinthinthint)  Cover of OS

They could put fireworks around it and have the st. elmo's music playing as people scrooled through (Der derder der der...der...) writere has writen to her fellow handicapable one-eye kerry about marriagetoo and he IGNOREs.  He told nannetay or trig or micheal rodgers that doctor amy said he woul dhave to marry a person with a LEFT eye in toder to have a left eye kid.  I am heartbroeken.

writer doen't wnat to go low and write some obviously argumentive shit stirring thing like, "Let's put all the old people on an ice floe" or "10 Reasons to aboandon your children" or "don't battered women ask to be battered (even if they are only 21 and it is none of my business) "  or "why do they let white people vote?"

she will not stoop this writer....BUT IF SHE doesn't get an editor's pick AND cover real soon...she'll take HEr Barbies and GO HOME!!!!!!!!

(der...derder derder!)

 

hasn't had an editors pick in motnths month months they get a little  mad.

Brilliant Ms. Delia! This is going to be an Editor's Pick, mark my words, and if I'm wrong on that I'm giving up art films.
There can NEVER be too many posts with "Barbie" in the title, so I'll rate this for that alone. That and the disturbingly accurate portrayal here of a troubled woman-child with with racing mind and front page dreams. Genius!
yep. rated for if kerry doesn't pick this i'm writing more haikus.
ANy of YOU innerested in MARRIAGE??????????????
rated for Delia's matrimonial urge and the editor's need to showcase her-- you know, exposure=a possible marriage proposal
Brilliant -
oops, I can't stop playing the song inmy head now...
Marriage may be over-rated, I've tried it twice. Informative. Costly. Sad. Yes. Look for connectedness.
I cannot believe that those men have all broken your heart, especially when it sounds like you NEED to get out of your house (fartwalking granny?)

So does the man of your dreams have only have one eye or will you settle for two?
Well I thank you dizerve a cober page jist on gramaticle speling and sintense strkture a lone. I kan't amember ever reedin' somethin' moor beutifle in my life. If you wasn't so stuk on thim fancy city fellas, we cud have abeutiful life tegether, at lest unttil ya left me.
My God!!! It's like Delia's channeling Helen Keller and that guy from "Sling Blade" through a prism of post-Faulknerian red state licentiousness. With vampires! I'LL marry you Delia, PM me later and we'll make arrangements. I'm thinking the Knights of Columbus hall for the reception, with a brief but never-to-be-forgotten honeymoon in Biloxi.
May I venture to say: the writer is hooked in the gut by that monster of the mind, Guilt.

I am a Deacon of Guilt, so I feel qualified to advise you. Guilt and anger (resentment) are closely intertwined. Anger (at people, perceived failure,etc) cannot be overtly expressed. Instead, it is projected onto the screen of the "Conscience". Then reflected, or projected, right back atcha. If it's toward a sweet deaf old grandma whom you perhaps wouldn't mind shopping for an ice floe for, then obviously you can't express the anger. It's got to go somewhere.

Guilt can be seen as a function of confluence. Confluence is "keeping the status quo going", emotionally, mentally, physically. If you perceive yourself as disrupting it, then that feeling of "guilt" stabs you. Someone else disrupts it: resentment. Can't express it? Guilt. One aspect of the status quo is money, of course. Keeps the status quo-flow smooth. The status quo loves money!

Possible solution: Active Fantasizing. Get outrageous. Violent if need be. Then you'll dissipate that anger so it can't project back at you.

Highly entertaining stuff! rated, Jim
Back off Mjay. I seen 'er first!! In I alreddy bookt the Moose Lodge, so ther.
I used to be an editor, and I picked this today. Kind of the same thing, isn't it?

:) you are funny. so Ray-Ted
all you had to do was put it out there!, this is very funny but I also agree this is a character that should be developed, is it in your book?
oh my gudness, delia, you got two men duuueling over you, you lucky gurl. i wud marry you in one second but i got nuthing to show fur myself and cudn't take care of you lik you want. plus i eat too much fiber and fart a lot too. i lik yur post very very very much. it is so very gud and smaht and shud be picked by yur one eye lovr to be edited. luv luv luv and graditude. and som peeople, mr, need to get a lif.
I feel so much Betta that WHen i hear the "plurrp Plurrrp" down the hall I woan't notice it so much.
"they get a little mad"

The voices in my head do that too. The wrITer could come and live with me, but there are different pluurrrp plurrp's here to deal with.
DB...outstanding writing! I used to be interested in "Marriage", but then I got me one and it took. It's still out there floatin' around somewhere. I think an "Honorary Cover" at least should be in order by your fellow OSers. Remember, the ice caps are really melting and fast...
Rated & Cheers!
Delia, from a completely technical point of view, I've always wondered how one achieves Utterly Random Capitalization. It seems a skill that is at once mystical in its apparent simplicity and yet baffling in its complexity. Rather like ikebana, or haiku, or any other kind of Japanese minimalist thing we in the West can't begin to comprehend without years of study.

Can you share your technique?
Editor's Pick
(I'm an editor)
:^)
(marriage is overrated)
rated for menchunINg tRig.

and the farting peoples and winona ryder

sheer genius...I looked on the cover just now. Not there.
Want me to speak to K? We iZ tight
I didn't know I was gay.

Man, that's a shock to me!

I guess I was absent that day in sixth grade when sex education came a calling back in 1949.

Man, I'm that old! (no, not really. it's for affect only.)

And besides, farts are always fun, young and old.

Rated so that the editors can come a calling...
Ariana--This isn't a character in the book, but thanks for liking it.
Verbal--The secret to capitalization: Pretend you are drunk and in a hurry.
Well, I'm tHrlled by a passive agGressive doo doo. Frankly, WhO wunndeted be?
Yu is jess AUghsum, lady, i bow to yur souprimmm-souperee- beterthanmeness. I’d Sure pik yall but i’m not into that quEErness. kerry’s eye maks me sKeeRed but if that’s what yur likIN i had a teechur wunce tol me the 1-eyed man is king in blindland (dunt no wher that is tho) so ifn yu had boychilds thatd be a rite royl thing.
Funny stuff. Rated for making it neCeSsaRy to tAke tWo bEAno.
I loved this post, but it was veery difficult for me to read... I feel language-handicapped! Rated for the effort it took me to read it.
My cat, Miracle I, the feline pope in exile, extends a marriage proposal to the Chihuahua, Pope, thus promoting gay marriage and consolidating an immense papal empire. Imagine the controversy--the cat is Catholic. The ceremony can have Bridesmaid Barbies. You can tape the wedding, and *that* will make the cover.
My GOD! You are a genius! Pope's brother, Coco, is gay. I am not sure about Pope--well, he was in love with this big Boxer next door. As he whined at the fence, she glanced over her shoulder with a lustrous auburn coat and a little sympathy. I told him I knew the feeling of lusting after the impossible.
Pure, unadulterated genius. I hope you're writing your novel with this voice because I would pay good money (at least $25 with my employee discount) to read it. Or I'd download for $11. Granny farts, and your spelling of said farts, is unreal funny. The dialogue between you, Writer's Mom, and Deaf Granny is Oscar worthy. Do I HAVE to tell you I rated it because you should just assume I will always give a thumbs up to your work!
