I love your ramblings, Elaina. Can you write another piece about the way you think we all look?

Elaina will become famous soon enough
Okay.....one at a time.

I am still rambling since I returned to work at 7:00 a.m. and only had a few hours of sleep.....

Sosia....he is my buddy! He and I didn't quite see eye to eye on some things at the beginning of my joining this Forum.

Sosia, me lo imagino con espejuelos, brusco, pero muy intelectual. Para él no existe el área gris.....es blanco o negro.

He's kind of stiff not very willing to veer off his track.

Gemma, ¿tu crees que se haya enfadado Alfonso con mi descripción de él?

Espero que no......this is all in fun.

Elaina

¿Enfadarme? I'm still laughing at it and wondering how is it possible to give a so wrong image of myself. I quitted smoking when I was six and a half years old, but never smoke on pipe. And I am not surrounded by intelectuals (they are boring) but by students (some of them are a lot of fun). Anyway, I'm sure internet changes people, and very often we offer an image of ourself very different from the truth, except Gemma, who cannot hide her epitomizing innocence...

I must say Elaina's version of Alfonso was not far away from mine's. My Alfonso was with a waistcoat/vest and smoking a pipe and sitting in his library, but with a computer by his side. Stiff intelectuals and internet usually don't go side by side
Tu sosia...... no has acertado nada , pero te quiero igual.
I must say im more agressive in the net, because its my alter-ego (my sosia)
My Elaina was a Salma Hayek type (in Ugly Betty) but not so agressive. "morena, bajita, guapa, que sabe reirse de si mismo y de los demás, y que consigue lo que quiere)

saludos

(you can say "reeks innocence" significa que es tan inocente que la inocencia sale por los poros--casi la puede oler)

¿A quien enseñas--imigrantes o estudiantes de otros paises?

El día que vea a Alfonso in a smoking jacket or a vest, me desmayo.
And how can you say I'm innocent, si soy un pingo...

It´s fun reading this, and since you said one at a time, you wouldn´t want to leave some people out now, would you Elaina?
Sosia, I didn´t know you are a guy. I imagined you to be a lady, well into her 40´s, very graceful and with steel rimmed glasses at the tip of her nose...

lady
into her 40 34....
very graceful
steel rimmed glasses I wear glasses, the glass has no rimm, in order to se them less.

man, happily married (my wife cook and order ), with a 8-month super-cute baby (girl), I read anything that has letters. Engineer & programmer. Very optimistic, but I like to spoil others with my comments (altough I it's not my opinion). For example I love man jokes, although my wife controls me.
An example of a man-joke
""cuando llegará la mujer a la luna?" When will be a woman reach the moon
-cuando haya que barrerla " -Whe the moon needs a sweep.
I love the faces of the women being told that

I think Tomissimo must move this thread to "what's your opinin the other peorson looks like?"

Jane: a disco-lover, 25, sho loves reading with a swiming-pool by his side. And Gemma must be her twin

saludos

¿A quién enseñas, inmigrantes o estudiantes de otros países?
I teach both. In Madrid a group of immigrants, mostly from Nigeria. In Toledo students from other countries, especially from USA. Yesterday I said good bye to a huge and fantastic group of Texans, from TAMU University. I had a lot of fun with them. I also learnt some English...

Thanks a lot for your corrections and explanations, Poli.
