Alfie and my ISO

Finished work early which gave me the time to catch a movie. Popcorn, an easy movie and my ISO ( insignificant other for the uninitiated ). There's a long background story over here but to cut a long story short, he's my cheating ex who I remain friends with since stabbing him with a knife would mean jail term for me - and those stripes never did anything for me. Although I would never admit it to my horridly conceited ISO, there are shades of him in the stories I write. :)

Jude Law as AlfieBut back to Alfie. It's an easy enough movie to while the time away with. Sexy young cad who goes through beautiful women like so much used tissue comes to his senses one day. Simple enough storyline without much angst and drama. Played by the charmingly metrosexual Jude Law, Alfie makes slim gray suits look like perfection, makes salmon pink look all-testosterone male and mouths some of the corniest lines ever - but with that crisp, delicious Brit accent which makes it sound so very devilish.

When I informed ISO that he reminds me of the cheating scumbag Alfie, he just gave me an exasperating grin and stole some popcorn.

First things first.. I'm Chinese but I do speak Malay :)

Not sure what makes posh Brit accents sound great but it just does. It makes me wanna tear their suits off and toss them on the floor to have my way with them. Is it any wonder that my first time was in London?

Staying friends with my ex... believe me, if you knew the wicked things I did after the breakup, you would pity the poor fool! :) I'm the revengeful sort.

About those stories you mention, I'm really interested in reading your new chapters for several of them..

(yeah, crude hint :P )

I'v stayed friends with all my ex's, when there's no love left, there is no love left, that's it. Sad most of the times, but all my ex's are great guys, or I would not have had history with them.

Still, revenge can be soo fun :)

Well, Sven, apparently our Paul needs inspiration to write. Now I ask you, was that picture of boy's wonderful ass on Sunday not inspiration to write more about James Sung?

As for revenge - I come up with some great ideas but I chicken out on all but the most mild ones.

I need a good on-line name. This anonymous crap is irritating.

To be honest Mr Anon, I can't see either James nor John in those skimpy underwear. Fabric either to thick or too little of it (if I remember John's taste correctly). The innocent little Troy from Truehearted however, that's an other story. He might just have outgrown his size without noticing.. ;)

Sven,
Well, I was thinking along the lines of the underwear ad in the latest installment. :) If I may quote Paul -

"The cover of the glossy catalog had me lying prone on the bed, covered in a tiny scrap of cotton that barely covered the essentials. The hard curve of my ass filled out the scanty underwear beautifully, the firm, flawless mounds that literally begged to be caressed."

I wouldn't mind additions to Trueheart's story either, though. ;)

Sven said...

Hmm.. well yeah, when you put it like that Anon. What can I say, guess my less than pure mind read skimpy into the fabric as well.. ouch.. < goes off to light scented candles for purification >

About the accents... I totally agree. A Brit speaking English sounds delicious... as does everyone else with a heavy accent. I once knew a German guy who spoke English with a German accent and I still went for him. No idea why though - perhaps that's worthy of a thesis. :)

And I speak perfect Malay. Ask away.

Oh yeah, new chapters for the story will be forthcoming - as soon as I edit some of them. I take some time editing and I still miss typos here and there which makes me check again! And again!

Glad you guys liked James and John though! They are one of my favourites.

And I think Mr Anon is a great name!

Sorry Paul, didn't mean to stress you about the writing. Well, just a little maybe ;)

I don't think you are the type for it (=scorpio), but if you'd like help proofing/editing just holler - I love doing that (there, giving away part of my dark secret side)

Anonymous said...

I wouldn't mind helping you with the editing either, Paul, if you need it. Especially if that means getting to read the stories that much sooner. ;)

Oops...cut myself off.

My friend Meghann started sending me her stories. She said it was because I was the only one who read them, but I think it was just to stop me from nagging her. :)

savante said...

Yeah, I'm Scorpio actually - Oct 26.

No stress about the writing but I'm gonna step on it. Promise. Well, I hope anyway :) Hey, I'm golad to have two editors over here. Once I get my latest ready, I'll send it over.

I see, early scorpio, you don't happen to know if your ascendent is in scorpio too by any chance? That is what constitute a double scorpio..
Saw that you are scorpio from your profile btw, didn't call your mom or anything ;)

savante said...

Not sure how to check whether I'm a double scorpio. Perhaps more info on that?
