I learned the truth at seventeenThat love was meant for beauty queens
In high school girls with clear skinned smiles
Who married young and then retired
The valentines I never knew
The Friday night charades of youth
Were spent on one more beautiful
At seventeen I learned the truth
And those of us with ravaged faces
Lacking in the social graces
Desperately remained at home
Inventing lovers on the phone
Who called to say come dance with me
And murmured vague obscenities
It isn't all it seems
At seventeen

Is that your daughter? Very cute girl whoever she is.
Lime green is in? I am more of an aqua girl. But I don't think at my age aqua is a good idea. I'm sticking with red for now. Well, I'm actually switching to Candy Apple red since it has pink undertones. Mehehe.
Yep - that's my daughter Zara.
Very cute and happily bi-sexual - I seem to have her girlfriend living with me most of the time as well.
What's "aqua" ? What's "candy apple red" ? Colour samples please.

Wow, you're a quick learn. I still haven't learnt that.
Btw, its your daughter? She looks adoreable! (guess she has that after her mother huh :p)
Crashdummie,
Yep - she is adorable and I guess she does get her looks from her Mum who, sadly, is no longer with us.
So I'm now a single parent which means I get to be her Mum and Dad (which is actually quite a lot of fun once you get used to it!).

Merlin dude, you don't know what Candy Apple red is?! For shame! :-P
OK, here are some color samples:
The fron of this girl's hair is my current haircolor - blood red http://www.amphigory.com/se-blood-ks.jpg
And the color of this girl's hair is what I am getting which is candy apple red - http://www.amphigory.com/Christopher-and-jess-8.jpg
And this would be aqua - [with pink at the bottom] http://www.amphigory.com/fishbowl-cup.jpg
Wait, your daughter lives with your? Or her girlfriend? I'm confused. But that's nothing new so yeah. LOL.
Hey Dude, welcome back!
Do you really fancy Tevez? I'm in two minds about him actually, on the one hand I know he can play really well, on the other hand, I don't know if he'd fit in.
Plus, I heard that if he comes, Heinze might have to make way for him. I love Gab, and I don't want him to go anywhere, certainly not to flipping Liverpool. Sheesh!
Karen,
I think we need another striker to partner Rooney who , sometimes, looks a little bit lost on his own and tends to drop back into midfield.
I don't see Saha or Solkjaer being fit in time.
No problems last season with Ronaldo doing so much damage but I think that Tevez is a class act and a great insurance policy.
Still worried about Nani and Anderson though.
Bring it on though .....I'm bored already !

Mailyn,
Got the idea but what's wrong with Cupcake Pink with Pimpin' Purple ?
Americans - no fashion sense at all.
(Only joking ; honestly!).
My daughter lives with me. My daughter's girlfriend seems to be moving in with us slowly but surely.
She doesn't like her own parents very much : her father's drunk all the time and her Mum's a bit "old fashioned" if you know what I mean.

To be 17 again, no thanks. Good bit of wisdom.
Purple and pink is a great combo! I'm just partial to red and aqua myself. LMAO on the Americans and no taste! At least down here people don't like to take risks. It sucks. LOL.
I see. Poor girl. My father is an idiot so I know how she feels. Thank god mom divorced him a few years back or I'd have moved out. It sucks that her mom is like that as well. People need to be more open minded or, failed that, mind their own business. LOL.
:-P
Mailyn,
Send me a photo when it's done ?
Just the hair will do if you're the shy type !
I never thought I'd be any use at all as a Dad : now I think it's probably the best job I've ever had.
M.
and i'm sure you are doing an awesome job Merlin. :)
Cheers my friend
crashdummie,
Thank-you. Flattery will get you everywhere.
