"Conversation should be pleasant without scurrility, witty without affectation, free without indecency, learned without conceitedness, novel without falsehood."

You come across alot of things on the internet that you are unsure to believe or not. If it sounds good, I tend to believe it, if not, I don't. Who needs facts, huh? I came across an article today that told of a man called Darren Sherman who met a woman called Joanne through J-Date which is match.com for Jews. These two meet through this site, Darren asks Joanne out on a date, and they go and eat at a restaurant. Sounds good so far, right? Darren pays, though Joanne offers to half the check. At...

I like it here at JU.  I like the freedom it gives me to write.  I like the people that I 'meet', that allow me into their lives, even if it is only for a moment.  There is a real community spirit, and I think that is what I like best.  The lovely Maso wrote an article recently about inspiration, and what inspires us.  Alot of people here inspire me on a daily basis, and I don't think that you can always show your appreciation to those that do, or let them know that they...

I want a baby. I was never really into dolls as a kid. I think it was mainly due to a traumatic barbie doll experience that I wrote about not long ago on here. I just was never really attracted to the whole carrying a doll around, feeding it, changing it, and putting it to sleep kind of thing, only to repeat the process 30 seconds later when I got bored. I was more of a toy cars, run around going mental kind of kid. Not alots changed, lol. To call myself ambitious I think would be wrong. Bec...

Men of JU (and maybe women) I have faith in your wit and charm.  Honest I do.  Hehe. So just use your imagination for a moment....imagine I am a hot female (remember use that imagination!), and I am stood at a bar, and I am the woman of your dreams.  You really want to talk to me.  You really want to approach me.  So you make sure you are looking your best, you take one last gulp of that drink, you muster up all of your confidence, and you approach me, and that one op...

I have a guilty secret...well I have a few, but I am going to share this one with JU. I am a fan of trash. Whether that be trash tv, trash magazines, trash newspapers. I just like, and enjoy trash. That may give you an insight into how my mind works, but anyway, not the point. I have an illness that means everytime I see a trashy celeb magazine, that is telling me how to get a body like Victoria Beckhams (You just don't eat for those who are wondering), I just have to buy it. I can't help mysel...

My next door neighbour is a strange little man. He has never actually done anything to me, he is just strange. Sometimes he acknowledges my excistence and then other days he looks right through me. It just really depends on which way the wind is blowing. Sometimes he talks, sometimes he doesn't, sometimes he stares, sometimes he doesn't. He is just strange. He doesn't know me, and I don't know him. There are people who I see everyday, and I don't have a clue about any part of their life. I don'...

I watched a TV show last night, that was all about the school days.  I am one of these sad people who really misses school, and I do look back fondly at my school days.  Obviously I didn't realise at the time just how much I would miss them!  This show had celebrities on it, talking about their favourite teachers, and their memories of school, and it was quite a nice little programme.  One thing they did with each celeb was show a picture of them as a school child, and they w...

When I was young life was simple. You saw a good film on at the cinema...something along the lines of ET or Back to the Future...ahhh them were the days. You would pick your victim, and then proceed to annoy them, until they gave in and took you to the cinema. Alternatively, you could wait until they came out on VIDEO. Yes my friends, that was video, none of these round shiny cd thingies. Oh no, they were way ahead of my time. So the cinema was an experience in itself. There is absolutely no ot...

I'm writing this article on behalf of my sister, as it is a topic that is really annoying her at the moment. I think I have touched upon it many times before, but it is still something that annoys me, so here goes. My sisters fella likes women. He enjoys the female body. He likes looking at them, he thinks the female form is there to be appreciated by men the world over. In his opinion the female body, in all different kinds of shapes and sizes is beautiful, and is there to be looked at. So ...

Imagine for a moment you have created a character, a character that would take over the world, take over the imagination of everyone that came into contact with them. Something that would become a household name. Imagine you had poured your heart and soul into creating them. Imagine they became popular beyond belief, and made more money than you could ever even imagine. Sounds good right? What if someone ripped you off though, and you only recieved a completely insignificant amount of money for...

I woke up today in a much better mood, and the sun was shining, so I decided to go for a nice leisurely walk in the park. Good idea, right? Years ago, when I was much younger, I could waste away hours in the park. For the life of me I can't actually remember what I was doing, but at that age time flew by without me taking that much notice of it. I took my walk in the late afternoon when the kids were just getting out of school, so there was quite a mixture of people about the place. Some playin...

The ladies here will know what I am talking about, maybe even some of the men too. You know when you wake up, and you get ready, and no matter how long you spend getting ready, no matter how long you spend choosing your outfit, or doing your hair, or applying the war paint. You just don't feel right. That's how I feel today. Nothing is sitting right. I feel uncomfortable, and horrible, and I just want to hide away in fear of scaring small children and animals with my gruesome looks. It's not th...

When I am making my way round JU, usually on a daily basis, I notice the names of the newest bloggers, who have just registered. Sometimes I even click on their names to have a bit of a nosey...because well, I'm nosey. Thinking about it, not many of them bloggers I have noticed, appear to have made a huge impact on JU, and I wonder why? Some may post a few articles, try to get into things a little, and when they recieve no attention they get bored and don't bother again. Now obviously this isn'...

I have a problem. I am a boring old frump. It is official. My friend recently introduced me to a girl she works with. They get on pretty well, and this girl is spending more and more time with our group of friends. I have made an effort with this girl, I really have. I just don't like her. It's as simple as that. I feel bad for it, especially considering the reasons I don't like her, because they are quite pathetic. First of all, she is loud. It isn't just that she talks alot (though she does)...
