Lulu and the Lampshades


Lulu and the Lampshades

I think I might be going to change my profile. (I know, shock horror, it has hardly been changed ever since I first put it up, but maybe the time is right. ) Not that many people ever look at it. Well, except Prairie Girl, she looks at it nearly every day, which is extremely sweet, and if ever she stops doing that I will be really sad. Otherwise the only people who look at my profile are either called cumgobbler23 or nymposlut4u or something, usually from Aldershot, whose profiles are strangely turned off or inactive, and who, frankly, I don't believe are actually real people, lol. Either that or genuine women from somewhere usually quite close to my home town Bloghampton, who seem......how shall I put it.....? Not terribly attractive or intelligent, lol!

(If you are attractive and intelligent and live near me and have viewed my profile recently, then this obviously doesn't apply to you, I'm sure you are gorgeous. Try me again under a slightly less ficticious sounding username and with the spelling tidied up a bit on your headline.)

Anyway despite the fact that on my profile it says at least three times: "if you want to get to know me read my blog," none of them ever do. So I can only conclude that my profile is somehow rather off putting. Unless your name is Prairie Girl of course.

Maybe I shouldn't have a profile at all since I am not really looking to meet anyone. Except that I am really, aren't I, who are we kidding? Well I don't know. Maybe sometimes I am and sometimes i am not. But I don’t want to have to take responsibility for where it might all lead to. (Life's not like that Dreamer, I have to keep reminding him. ) I think I almost want to have something which is nearly happening but never quite does. How the hell do you put that in a profile? Which is why I say "read my blog" instead.

What does any of this have to do with Lulu and the Lampshades? I hear you asking. Well, I did something I very, very rarely do today. I looked at someone's profile myself. fanny_may. In case none of you ever read her, Fanny May used to write a warm, melancholic and witty blog called leave my rabbits foot alone, and it included well observed comments on life as a newly single woman, plus some achingly evocative prose-poetry about the joys and dashed hopes of looking for new love. But always with this quirky sense of humour running through everything.
(You make love with a new love…in the hollow left by someone else's body...... Unhappiness...... fumbles like the latex fingers of an excitable gynaecologist between your legs. )
Her profile made me laugh. In a good way I mean. You know how stupid a lot of the questions you have to answer are don't you. As stupid as the man walking a who saw me coming back from the tennis court in a total downpour and said "too wet for tennis then," as I walked past him. "That's a you've got there isn't it?" I wanted to say, but I didn't think of it in time.

Her profile made me laugh because in answer to "What is your favourite television to watch?" she had answered, "I think it's a Sony." And (she is 5 foot 1 inch tall) under "What do you do for exercise?" she'd put: "I jump about and try to grab people's knees." I like this woman. And it made me realise my profile is far too serious. And you know I'm not like that. Yes I always give a proper answer if you ask me a serious question and I do take things seriously and overthink them. But most of the time I like to have fun, be flippant, and play with funny words. So I thought I might play with some on my profile. When I get a minute. Heavens this is a long post.

Anyway......fanny_may's favourite band is listed as Lulu and the Lampshades. I thought it was a joke, but then I looked them up on that well known music video site, and saw them singing "you're gonna miss me." Check it out; it made me smile. And thanks Fanny May, wherever you are now.

There used to be a wonderful a gentleman called 'jimjoejim', who's profile, used to make me laugh.
He hasn't been around for a while, as he found himself true love, but not from here.
His profile is still on AdultFriendFinder, if you want a reference on how to make a woman giggle, with a silly profile page?

Life isn't about how many breaths you take, but about the moments that take your breath away!

Lol, I originally started this post about a week ago, and I'm not sure I can be bothered now!

that's exactly why i get so many emails... from people laughing at my profile... definitely not because i'm actually looking for anyone.. if you don't have a sense of humor... whats the point, really?

My best laughs and favoured across the pond bloggers were people who I discovered only through their blogs and never read the profile. I should make efforts to remedy that ... but - I still think that finding humour in the myriad of stupid "must answer" questions is the best.

I'd attempt to edit and change mine- but the whole process just leaves me cold. Those who read it still write inappropriately - and those who read the blog don't bother with the profile.

Do you know what Zandi? In all the years I have known you I don't think I have ever looked at your profile, lol. Didn't think I needed to - I know you don't I?

I never realized it was funny though. What kinds of things does it say?

That's pretty much exactly my attitude Kelidgh - see my response to Zandigal.

I'd look, but I'm running out of points. I'd probably better stick with my own sense of humour anyway.

When I saw your post title, I immediately thought about the song "To Sir With Love." I'm sure this isn't the same Lulu, but that's who I thought of.

Elevate me...

I have thought to change mine to something funny too, mine is far too serious. Now you have given me something to do this rainy week end.

You are so sweet Zandi! Thanks for your profile, I had fun reading it, especially "free time? where can you buy that?"

You never show up on my "who has viewed you listing," how do you manage that?

Maybe some day, but not right now, huh? Lol.

You should definitely put some of your sense of humour into it Sassi. Let me know though, 'cos I don't think I've ever read yours either, sorry! (How do you read mine without showing up, and actually, why bother, when as Zandi says, I haven't changed a word since i wrote it? Lol. )

Go for it, I think a glimpse of humour does more to tell someone what kind of person you are than anything else.
