Pleban Girls Party...Stiff? Let us lend a hand...a massage & B are the best medicine

[VintagePunk]

Yea...but it's better not to say anything than to say something good or mean.

I know...a big to you all

Weldy, it's a learning process.

 

[ruffian]

Ok, I must be a nerd too because I had this discussion with someone recently.

welcome to nerdville (not to be confused with nellyville)...and Stars, haven't you majored in English?? That's the single criterion for admission to nerd-dom.

(but it is an interesting conversation, and is why B-man loves women so much, I'm convinced)

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

How is everyone? Besides talking about science and how it relates to a U2 concert

(I'm not joking this time.)

 

[VintagePunk]

Bri, gotta find a copy that's not all marked up with editing marks, just a sec.

Oh is a major in English a passport to nerdom?! Just because I explain the use of the color green in James Joyce's books do not a nerd make.....or perhaps they do.


See it was my grandfather who was the professor in biophysics and my father was a PhD in molecular genetics. I must have hidden Edge tendencies somewhere but they manifest Bono-style.

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

Weldy, it's a learning process.

But most of you guys are uni bound...I'm not....so it's more difficult for me.

I don't even understand half of what you are talking about and when I do...I'm always critized.


Just saying what I feel...even if this comment is another

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

Well...I'm going to get dressed and go see Sin City.

I guess I'll talk to you guys later.

Don't act all Edge like on me! (another non joke)

Oh...hon...um, you're definitely in if this is the case...

Hi everyone.

I'm laughing at my own post....sorry.

well-said! i want to steal that phrase from you. I have Edge in me somewhere (oops--don't want to make Mucca jealous; that sounded so nasty) but really, I'm all Bono on the outside.

 

[~BrightestStar~]

Hey Jules

Welcome to the nerd party

 

[ruffian]

Hi everyone.

Hi U2Girl!

thinkin' i need to go back and figure out what the hell happened here...

 

[~BrightestStar~]

well-said! i want to steal that phrase from you. I have Edge in me somewhere (oops--don't want to make Mucca jealous; that sounded so nasty) but really, I'm all Bono on the outside.

We all have a lil edge..in us...(I should *really* reword that)

 

[VintagePunk]

Bri, it's sent.

 

[U2Girl1978]

Uh huh..

 

[starsgoblue]

well-said! i want to steal that phrase from you. I have Edge in me somewhere but really, I'm all Bono on the outside.

And you're good luck, you've met the man I idolize...you must help me in my quest Ruff. I don't want to get serious dysthymic episode if he eludes me....

 

[susanp6]

Hi there back again after making myself a cuppa tea!

 

[VintagePunk]

Hi U2Girl!

Ruff, I wonder a lot about his mother. He seems to idealize women. I also wonder about his relationship with his dad. Sounds like a typical father-son pissing match to me, but I've read stuff that indicates their relationship wasn't as bad as Bono has made it sound. *curious*

 

[starsgoblue]

I think perhaps the whole issue of Bono's father not talking about his mother after she died was a major point of contention with Bono. After all, you always knows how he feels about something and his father, seeming totally opposite, clammed up. Perhaps becuase Bono wasn't allowed to talk about her he had to build up things in his head about women and thier influences.... I'm sure that had a factor.

 

[VintagePunk]

W/B Susan!

stars said dysthymic!

i will help if i can, sweetie. here's what i did: stood on the pavement and hoped. i wish i could say i had a big strategy...

 

[VintagePunk]

Just wanted to point out that "pissing match" is not a psychological term.

 

[U2Girl1978]

Hello VP...

 

[~BrightestStar~]

Susan

No?

Got ur email.

 

[susanp6]

It's a very interesting conversation that about how Bono views women, after his mother dying while he was still quite young!

Hi ruff, Jules&Stars again! I'm playing safe from now on!

have my white flag, like B!

 

[ruffian]

I think perhaps the whole issue of Bono's father not talking about his mother after she died was a major point of contention with Bono. After all, you always knows how he feels about something and his father clammed up. I'm sure that had a factor.

I remember seeing a recent interview where B said that it stunned him that his dad *never* talked about it, which must have been torture for someone as expressive and emotional as Bono...

And VP, I have never read anything about his thoughts on his mom before she died--he says he can't remember what she looked like, and that makes him sad...

 

[U2Girl1978]

Hiya Susan..

 

[~BrightestStar~]

It is isn't it?
These ladies seem well versed in this type of stuff tho....nerds!


(no white flag neccessary girlie)

 

[VintagePunk]

Ruff, Flannagan's book goes into it somewhat, but I devoured it so quickly on the first read, I need to go back and read it again.

I do remember one part near the end where his dad was speaking to Flannagan, and sounded quite affectionate toward him, although maybe not completely approving of his lifestyle, but hey, that's a typical parent.
