My brain = porridge

I've not had a good memory since I was hit in the head by two tonnes of taxi in the '90s, it's like a library after a cyclone up there. So I rely on external sources.

Does anyone have any idea who I am talking about when I say that I vaguely remember the story of a French woman who was so disgusted at the treatment she was receiving in a meeting that she silently took the hat of the man who was oppressing her, squatted over it and urinated freely.

I had a vague idea it was Colette or Anais Nin, but Google is no help, and the brain? She is porridge. In fact this woman may not even be French. Though she is definitely a woman. Or was, she could be mouldering by now.

Anyone?

Ah, but then she'd be stuck in the meeting room without toilet paper, and I'm guessing that might not feel like victory. ;)

We are SUCH secret twins.

It actually does boggle the mind! *boggle*

both of you are too practical and not as creative as you claim to be. :P

:-P

(and if you'd spent as much of your childhood in the wilds or on communes as I did, you would be practical on these matters, too!)

one day you'll have to tell me about how your life on a commune was. i'm very curious. i was watching The Ballad of Jack and Rose the other night, and i just wondered how Rose's adult life ended up. she was so isolated from modern society and for her father to die without giving her the tips of how to survive...i just really felt for her.

Well, the other half of my life involved expensive schools and salubrious locales, when we weren't at my grandparents' horse stud, so I wasn't as deprived as I sometimes make out.

Though I feel that having to put up with hippies is a universal bond among the children of that generation.

Or even better... she should write a H/D AU fic about it in which wizards are a cult living in a commune called Hogwarts, growing herbs and tending animals and such. *snickers*

So, how about it, BB? :D

I'll have you know that I am *Still Scarred* from all that tofu! ;-)

It could happen one day, but given the list of WIPs I am accruing, I should hold off on promising anything new until a few more things are finished. But I promise to give you some insider info if YOU'RE keen on doing it!

she could've wiped on the brim. or used his suit jacket.

i mean, she already urinated...class fell out the window already. :)

[identity profile] blamebrampton.livejournal.com 2008-08-04 02:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I believe she did it in a particularly scornful and ladylike manner, with no flashing.

[identity profile] pingrid.livejournal.com 2008-08-04 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, see! Non-identical secret twins, then. I believe that urinating in a hat in a meeting room rules out ladylike. Unless she was unbelievably feminine and about the size of a spoon.

[identity profile] blamebrampton.livejournal.com 2008-08-04 02:17 pm (UTC)(link)
There's no way you could be this short ;-)

I think that you could manage it with a brisk ladylike elan, if you were very good.

[identity profile] pingrid.livejournal.com 2008-08-04 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I've got about six inches on you, so I guess identical was right out even before the ladylike/unladylike schism came up. :)

I'm still not entirely convinced, but tell you what - you practice the art, and then you can prove it in person if we ever do meet. :D

[identity profile] blamebrampton.livejournal.com 2008-08-04 02:36 pm (UTC)(link)
When we end up meeting I will make you laugh with my stories of urinating the wild only to be chased by sundry wildlife. NB I did not wee on any nests/holes/animals, it's the sheer attractive force of my pale arse.

alright...no flashing? then that's pretty classy. :P

[identity profile] pingrid.livejournal.com 2008-08-04 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
OTOH, if she managed without flashing she probably wasn't wearing any underwear. How do we rate that on the Classy & Ladylike scale? Hmm.

[identity profile] blamebrampton.livejournal.com 2008-08-04 02:18 pm (UTC)(link)
French knickers can be pulled to one side. Er ... I am told.

[identity profile] empress-jae.livejournal.com 2008-08-04 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
so can g strings. and i know this for fact.

[identity profile] empress-jae.livejournal.com 2008-08-04 02:20 pm (UTC)(link)
well...call me old fashion, but i don't understand how people (especially girls) can go without wearing underwear. especially if a short skirt or dress is the outfit of choice. so for me, no underwear is pretty low on the classy scale.

[identity profile] blamebrampton.livejournal.com 2008-08-04 02:18 pm (UTC)(link)
At the very least, a 6.5 degree of difficulty!

[identity profile] empress-jae.livejournal.com 2008-08-04 02:22 pm (UTC)(link)
depending on the garment, i'd say 7.

[identity profile] pingrid.livejournal.com 2008-08-04 02:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I think the urination is pretty classy, TBH! :D No-nonsense and to the point. Not ladylike, but it doesn't really have to be.

[identity profile] empress-jae.livejournal.com 2008-08-04 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
hmm...i see your argument, and i'll give you a point for the no-nonsense defense. ;P
