    The ex from last night just messaged me from MSN thingy and asked what I was up to.

    I said I was playing online chess and listening to music.

    When I die the gates of heaven will be forever locked and bolted against me:rolleyes:
    Just block him!!!! :D

    unless, as carol says, you were hoping for the opposite?!

    Wow - a bit deep - may be a bit 'indecent proposal'? As an artist do you remain true to your calling or sell out if the price is right?

    Surely you can do both - nothing wrong with true artists making some money from their art and if anything it helps - think Virginia Woolf's thesis in A Room of One's Own.

    But can you be tortured and suffering and creative and hungry living in a 6 bed detached in Surrey?

    Perhaps the selling out doesn't count if it's like a split personality?

    As I said, it's just wafting around at the mo so......we'll see.

    "playing online chess and listening to music."? - was that supposed to put him off or make him keener by thinking you were all intellectual? :confused:

    Did you just invent that off the top of your head?

    What's wrong with the time-old 'washing your hair', for goodness sake?

    Well it could have been true. But well off course it actually isn't.

    He spent last night lecturing me on my low tastes and wasted life. I am attempting to appear more cultured. God knows why

    !!!!!! are you on about WS?!!! If someone tried telling me about my low tastes and wasted life I would make it damn well clear the only distasteful choice I had made was THEM and make sure they were bloody certain it was them who was presently wasting my time and therefore life!!!!!

    What a cheek! Control freak. Narcissistic tendencies for sure! Block, delete, whatever- RID!!

    & yes I am aware of some ironies here, but I have good intentions :D

    Well hey, you know the guy.

    But arguably, do you really want to be with a guy who's likely to be impressed by online chess? :confused:

    Nothing wrong with a bit of lowbrow. For all you know he's a secret X factor fan, too. :)
