Context: Very bad creative writing.

I remember one of my first meetings with my internet friend at the local mall and his dazzled expression as we moved from store to store flaunting a limitless budget and two symmetrical 34cs.

My question to all girls out there, am I the only person who, outside of buying a bra, does not think about my breasts in terms of their 'bra size', much less in such a casual context?

Over and out.

I'm still stuck on what 'limitless budged' could be, never minding that I read the internet friend as having the c-cup boobs and not the narrator. O.o; And you're not alone in thinking that.

*limitless budget. ^^;; that was my typo.

i don't know. the entire story is obviously a male trying to write a female, but that just stuck out as being the worst.

*giggles* I figured it was that. But that bra size reference kinda reminds me a bit of the bits in DLM for some reason, like how George stopped talking to her mother once she started having her period or something like that.

The only thing is, at least DLM manages to be (intentionally) funny about it.

Indeed. The thing in the blurb is more wtf-ish than anything. -.-

Nope. The only time I ever register what another woman's bra size might be is if I'm helping her shop for one. Also, the "perfectly symmetrical" bit is jarring; who notices that, particularly when they're clothed?

Technically, most women if not all are not "perfectly symmetrical". It's rather irritating, but nature at it's finest.

This particular woman was thinking about her own breast size, but I still don't know who goes around thinking about their breasts in that context. It's one of those things that makes it obivious that the narrator is a man running around in a woman's body.

O how I do NOT miss creative writing class... You brave, grammar smart soul *hugs*.

To answer your question, I only think about my bra size when I'm trying to remember what it is when I'm shopping for a bra once in a blue moon. Or on the rare ocassion it comes up in polite, bedroom conversation.

Now my question is: did a writer of the male persuasion write that or a female who does not realize that there are other wonderful euphemisms (beyond "humps" and "bumps") in the English language? I won't bother asking if he/she/it knows what a comma, a run-on sentence, sentence structure, or spell check are.

The whole story reminds me of a guy who wants to get off on what he's writing but needs for it to be appropriate for class. There's gratituous (though vague) sex of both the heterosexual and lesbian kind, not to mention strippers, bdsm fantasy, and an older woman/younger man situation that would give freud a field day. All in four and a half pages.

I feel blessed.

Jackpot.
