"It is your turn to say something now, Mr. Darcy. I talked about the dance, and you ought to make some kind of remark on the size of the room, or the number of couples."
I love this quote! Especially when I'm at a dance and I keep trying to start up a conversation but the girl refuses to give more then a 3 word answer and won't even offer a smile. It's quite disheartening for a young man who is simply trying to make the dance enjoyably. So, when that is the case, I usually ask the girl if she likes Jane Austen books. So far that is one of the few questions that will at least get me the first excited answer that's more then three words long. It's usually "Yes! their sooo amazing!" Then she stops smiling and acts as if nothing had ever been said in the first place. Then I ask her if she remembers that quote. She does. Then I say ""It is your turn to say something now, [insert girls name]. I talked about [insert previous topic(s)], and you ought to make some kind of remark on the size of the room, or the number of couples."
Needless to say, that usually breaks the ice.
Well, I'm guessing you all (or you, whoever 'you' happen to be) are getting tired of reading about Louis L'Amour. So,
"It is your turn to [suggest] something now."
Being that so far as I know, the only people who are reading my blog are a few of my friends who are girls (two of which are my sisters) and the mother of another friend (also a girl), and only two people have commented, I don't know quite what to write about. What does a teenage write about to an audience of mainly teenage girls? I'm kind of new at this whole thing, so please let me know what you want me to blog about next. Friends, Life, Work, Books, Philosophy, Current Events, School, Me, You, Us? (Nah) Politics? (Again, Nah.) Anyway, let me know what YOU want to hear.

KNOTS. I wanna hear about KNOOOOOOTS.
ReplyDeleteWell I was actually thinking about you the other day and wondering what you think and how you feel about the way or lack of way you you are, or have been disciplined. How do you want to strive to raise your children? Seeing that you'll soon be serving a mission and Elder Nelson stated this past conference that if you have a question then ask the missionaries I'd like your thoughts and suggestions. I feel that I have more than ample need and room to improve.
ReplyDeleteWell, seeing how this is your blog, I'd like to hear a little bit about you. :) But I'd also like to hear about what you are discovering about life! Tell us your discoveries about how to make life the best it can be... or, in some cases, what NOT to do. I know that this is the age of discovering precisely this, and I'd like to hear your say.
ReplyDelete1. What you do all day long.
ReplyDelete2. Musings from aforementioned day.
3. Cryptic bits of emotional arithmetic.
4. Photos. Say, "This is my day in pictures."
5. Satires.
6. Observations and character sketches.
But never, never leave your blog hanging. Anything at all is better than obscure silence.
Thank for the feedback. I'll address these things over time. I really just wanted to know what kinds of things people like to read.
ReplyDeleteAhem. Message to all men and guys. Start reading Carson's blog so I don't feel like a fangirl.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Anyway, I know this post is fairly late, but I know bloggers love comments of any kind. So.
I would very much enjoy your take on the world and the way you see it and the way guys in general see it. I have really appreciated your posts so far, and so has my mom...Apparently...
I would like for you to post you observations about the way that other people view the world in opposition to yours.
Also, just you're thoughts on women and girls in general. Those have been helpful, blunt, and eye-opening.
And as a very quick side-note, girls are not the only ones who refuse to talk at dances...There are very many young men who are good at staying silent as well.
ReplyDelete(I've discovered that asking about the worst injury they've ever had usually gets them talking...I love young men.)
Thanks Puck! I'll make sure to write about those things.
ReplyDeleteI agree with all that everyone has said. :)
