Function "introduce" not found. Abort, Retry, Fail

[Rinascita]

[Edit: Subject was cut-off, should read "Function 'introduce' not found. Abort, Retry, Fail?"]

Indeed, this is possibly the area where my lack of skills is most apparent, but I will (pretend to) try anyway.

What is in a name? Rinascita is a reference to the rebirth I consider myself in the middle of, but you can ignore it at will, at this time GRS will be an acceptible alternitive.

A little bit about me, then. Once we skip the areas I dislike talking about we don't have much left.

I live in the United States currently, I plan to live in Montéal, Québec, Canada someday. I consider myslef a writer, though the prospect of "going pro" is laughible to me. I speak fluent English, and am a student of English, French and Italian.

While I am Italian, or rather Sicilian, I have never been to either country, or any other country aside from USA and Canada. The future? I have to admit, both countries have little draw to me.

Robert Zemeckis and Baz Luhrmann make me giddy. I never liked George W. Bush, I lost all respect for Eminem, Cookie Monster: Yay, new Disney animation: Nay.

I am 21 years old, and I think my feet are too big.

[shaytana]

Maybe your shoes are just too small?

[Melody]

Ah, welcome. *laughs*

[Miss Padfoot]

Welcome aboard!

Did you know that the article of clothing most commonly bought too small is shoes? I was talking to a lady who used to work in a shoe store and she said that women would come in and say, "I'm a size six and a half." Then they'd try on shoes, going up a half size at a time, complaining, "These shoes are made wrong!" and when they got up to about an eight and a half, the shoes would finally fit.

I cannot understand why women are so self-conscious about their shoe size. I have big feet too, if it makes you feel any better.

[Vagabond]

My feet are kind of big too, and I like them this way :D

Welcome :)

[CosmicDust]

Hello...

I'm a Size 9 myself. Why should one want small feet? They're probably harder to balance on. Never mind cuteness or daintiness. You know how Barbie dolls with their tiny feet on their tiptoes for high heels can't stand up by themselves? I'll take the big feet with sneakers, thank you.

[Avengardh]

I can never understand how they can stand the high heels...I asked some of them once and they told me that in reality it hurts them too...but they still wear them o.o

Welcome, cookie monster rocks ^-^

~*Aven*~

[Vagabond]

I do wear high heels (not exclusively, lol) and I am pretty comfortable with them. I just don't wear narrow shoes, these are the ones that makes feet hurt.

edit: ... and to think I declared I wasn't going to talk about makeup and shoes, lol :D

[Miss Padfoot]

I always wear narrow shoes when I can get my hands on them. My feet slip out of regular ones. It's because of the genes from my mother, whose feet are AAAA-width (and her heel is AAAAAA). But I avoid heels like the plague.

[Melody]

I saw a comic showing that the reason high heels are nifty is because it makes a woman's butt stick up. I don't know if that's true, but it sounds really interesting. ^.^

[Avengardh]

edit: ... and to think I declared I wasn't going to talk about makeup and shoes, lol :D

Hehe, well, we don't talk about them like other girls do...I don't think those subjects have to be taboo, we just think about them in another vine. ^^


~*Aven*~

[Rinascita]

I didn't expect so many replies this quickly.

While I wouldn't want tiny feet (I have enough balancing issues as it is) a Woman's size 9 is on the small side to me. I never can remember how to convert between Men's and Woman's, but I wear Men's anyhow.

Actually my current shoes are too big, due to obsene cheapness at the time.

---

I'd like to point out that only 33% of Melody's sig is true. ;p

[Jkrs]

Welcome to the forum, Rinascita.


I saw a comic showing that the reason high heels are nifty is because it makes a woman's butt stick up. I don't know if that's true, but it sounds really interesting. ^.^

Try walking on the front part of your foot in front of a full-length mirror; having the heel off the ground forces a person to strut, showing off their legs. It also encourages standing with the knees straight (most people stand with their knees bent, just a little) to stay balanced easier and shift some of the strain from the quadriceps to the skeleton. The leg-fully-extended thing is what causes someones' butt to stick out, not the heel being elevated.
(I am lame enough that I actually tested this before posting.)


I wear a womens' 7.5, mens' 6. It's difficult to find a pair of shoes intended for a female that are wide enough without having so much extra length that my heel slips out all the time.
I can't wear shoes with any kind of a raised heel; even half a centimetre is quite painful after walking/standing a while. I can walk digitigrade just fine without shoes, so I suspect it's the lack of ability to use my ankle as a spring to cushion the impact of a step, at the same time as my knees aren't being used for that either.

[Rinascita]

I've never worn anything but flat shoes, so while this is all very interesting, I can't comment.

Now, as far as "Vampire watermelons" go, I'm temped to wonder why the melon can't just be burned without the need to scrub it clean, but I'll not bother.

I like to consider myself odd, or weird, but come on... I can't compete with that.

[Melody]

*nods, staring blankly*
I think this is a good time to advertise my crossstitching skills.

[CosmicDust]

Hmm. I'm 5'3.5'', so size 9 feet on my frame aren't small. But they don't look like clown feet either. I don't think I could wear guys' shoes as easily because, unlike most of my family, I do not have wide feet - they're probably average-width at the ball and narrow at the heel. Narrow heels are good for tae kwon do (they can concentrate the power of a back kick or axe kick used for board-breaking) but bad for shoes - I always wear out the backs of my shoes, very quickly if they're not running shoes with extra heel cushioning.

[Rinascita]

I see you finished Mario, but why does he have one green shoe? ...and he is missing a button?

---

I was just saying 9 is smallish to me, but your point about "clown feet" is interesting, I certinly don't have that.

Well, it's not a big deal, just part of my random spiel.

[Miss Padfoot]

Now all we need is a theme song. I wish I had MIDI software. I could make a pretty good MIDI for the Mario theme, I think.

[Melody]

I just ripped that out of Donkey Kong. The green shoe is my attempt at having something of it be my own.

[spirilis]

I have big feet. 5'11" with size 13 4E width.

[Rinascita]

Oh, I thought the green shoe might have been a weird reference to "The Man with one red shoe". Of course you couldn't have the shoe be red, as much of mario is red, so you use it's oppisite -green-.

---

I would agree that 13 is big.

[Jkrs]

Now, as far as "Vampire watermelons" go, I'm temped to wonder why the melon can't just be burned without the need to scrub it clean, but I'll not bother.
Because it's undead, it'll reassemble itself from its own ashes. c.c

[Rinascita]

But... it even says they hardly bother anything with their lack of teeth!

I mean, sounds like a cool pet to me.


*kid comes running in crying*

"Mom, Jimmy Bale smashed Pookie!"

"Don't worry honey, Pookie will reassemble in an unholy manner, just give it an hour or so, until then clean your room."

"Aww shucks mom, do I hav-ta?"

Err... yes, anyway.

HairlessBluetick - Thanks ;d

[shaytana]

Alanis looks like a chopped off head on a platter.

[Melody]

To me she looks kinda like God, with a jester outfit.

[Rinascita]

Hmm, yes, well I didn't realise it had to be 120x120 pixel until after I created it at 320x240, so it didn't come out so well.

Using MS Paint may not have helped. I'll have to wait till I'm on my own PC to do better.

*stares at the beheaded Alanis*

...

*shudders*

Einstien may look a bit Hitler-ish also, or maybe that's just me.

*snickers* Have to admit, that would be cool.

[flan2dave]

Welcome. Do you think they use higher numbers for identical sizes for women's shoes to deliberately make women more concious of their foot size? :huh:

[Rinascita]

I don't know about that.

What would be that practical reason for that?

Not that I'm saying there needs to be one...

[file cabinet]

just as a warning.. don't buy shoes from Goodwill. that is all.

[Johnny]

Welcome, Rinascita.

Welcome! :hello:

And don't worry, I won't fall for the two classic blunders

the first is never get involved in a land war in Asia

the second, and only slightly less well known is this;
Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!

I saw that movie!

[Miss Padfoot]

Do you mean Dogma? I love that movie. The Buddy Christ was hysterical in light of all the pop-Christianity stuff around these days.

Of course I am not actually in Ottawa, I just said that as part of my on-going campain to cyber-stalk people before I meet them.
Are you very close to the river? Perhaps I could intuit your location and show up uninvited demanding tea.

What a coincidence, me too. :highfive:

I'm not close to the (ottawa?) river now but I will be somewhat closer anyway (glebe) when I move next weekend. You can show up uninvited but you probably won't get tea. Coffee, maybe.

very impressed with ur progress... seems that while i been relaxing with frieza, uve been in training, competing against everyone u came across all the time growing STRONGER and STRONGER

*throws knife into ur chest*

stick ahround!

[Ashi, K?]

Should I speak until there are no more words to be had, having exhausted the known languages to ensure that nothing went unsaid?

Should I sit in silence and watch as the temporal tides erode what little remains to remind me of what was once apparent possibility?

Many times have I bashed my self-image into mental walls, each time hoping to cast out even one brick, so that in time this grotesque structure may fall.

Won't you come with me to gather the pieces on that day?


There was once whimsy in the air at a time in which we walked hand-in-hand until from this grip did we slip, into what the other was not to know.

Tell me what became of the whispered song under the stars, and the slipstream jingle in the grass. Above all else tell me, do the dreams still come to you?

The world has darkened, becoming a cold and silent place. I miss your music in the background.


Filtering, shattering, shocking, placating, enumerating, emboldening, awing . . .

[Ashi, K?]

I plan to live in Montéal, Québec, Canada someday.
So I missed . . . slightly. May still end up there, though it seems increasingly unlikely.
I have no idea what happened to the letters there, I most likely wouldn't have typed it that way.

Hey, that isn't far at all, maybe we should get together online and make vague assertions about various aspects of ourselves, and form some plans for a friendly meet-up that will never come to pass, though trough no fault of ours.

I don't even slightly like coffee, but with all we may soon have been through, I think we can manage to be friends.

What do you say, girl?

You and me

Best friends until the end

just as a warning.. don't buy shoes from Goodwill. that is all.

If only I had bothered to listen to these simple words of wisdom, I would have been spared a brief series of horrors ranking among the least of my life, but horrors none the less.

One of which being the library card I found in a shoe. This seemingly innocent plastic object has become a haunting reminder of my spectacular failures in life by way of my inability to find it's rightful owner.

What do I do with it? I can't just throw it away, my conscience would never allow to to indirectly destroy this passport to knowledge.

So I carry it with me, always, waiting, hoping . . .

This is madness, and notice that it doesn't bother to go past three inches.

I probably don't even want to know the pressure figures for six inch heels.
