Boudoir Bavardage

fuelled elaborate lie with friends of ventures with boy I barely knew All girls' school... Poor deprived fourteen year olds we were! Group of girls hung vicariously on my riveting ridiculous stories. I think I gained status by telling fanciful fibs.... Blessed, these simple times before social media mayhem ....!

Sigrid, I suspected you went to an all girls school - don't know why? Me too! Your monoku brings back memories of sleepovers and tall tales! Congratulations on your first place win! So fun!

Oh wow!.. Yeah, Hobart oddly has a state (public) single gender school. Where do you live, Sam?

Keeping up with the Joneses, high school version. Conformity, conformity, conformity. Congrats on your win in the contest, Sigrid! ~ Blue jean baby, :)

Congratulations Sigrid on your win. Impressive entry. With regard to my contest submission I was usually quite good at school. Grade C would be quite poor for someone capable of much higher marks. I’m duty bound to share that with you. We both value honesty as a trait. Back to your work, the narrative is second to none Howard

That's right. The soul always knows if dishonesty is taking place. Ta for visit, Howard

That's really cool that you're not. I barely used it, started to look at it too much. Shut down account last month. There's such a good community here, likeminded folk. Who needs FB!?
