Male and Female Imponderables--Back in the Saddle by Tristan

Did someone say peanut cluster? Funny how the food suggestions start showing up about this time everyday from a certain someone down in the southwest...

So - are these peanuts in chocolate, or is there caramel involved?

AgentRusco - I vote with the talk-to-her crowd. Not a talking-to, but just a hey-let's-talk-guys. She probably needs to vent! Good luck catching her alone though!

Hey if you can't catch her alone you could write her a little letter. Sort of: Hey we know you're going through some stuff and we wanted you to know we're here if you want to talk. It's great that you have this new friend to help you get through this, but maybe you could let us know when he's going to be around so we can plan something as a group to get to know him better ( this is the sneaky part 'cause it makes her have to think about how much he's around, plus it gives you a way to all get together and get to know him more to see if you're ok with him)Good luck!

One of the three things always on mind mind.
FOOD!
Chicken fried steak for lunch.

And yes, peanuts in chocolate. Caramel gets to the one bad spot in my mouth and, well, it hurts.

Thing #2- Burnin', breakin', or blowin' s*^t up. Don't know why. But there is usually poetry and rebuilding afterwards. Kinda wierd huh.

Subject numero tres- Hmmm, what could it be?

Does everyones mind work in a similar way or am I really as freakish as I think? Must stop thinking.

Nope, I've had a pretty much one-track mind recently too. Stuck on work, from the minute I get up in the morning to the minute I go to bed. Food and personal grooming are coming in a distant second and third these days, hehe. I've started playing Sudoku for a few minutes before bed just to clear my head of all the work stuff.

Ah well, just have to make it through the next two weeks and then I can relax a bit. I'll still be thinking about work 24/7, but hopefully not stressing over it quite so much.

You're lucky. Seem to have developed a problem with keeping my mind at work lately.
Just want to ride off into the horizon with nothing but the pickup and a few pesos to travel on. But that sounds like just another lonely trip with abslutely no agenda. And I'd get to missin' everyone. After the blowup last week I feel alot closer to my family. Not that they agitate me any less, but I might miss them more.
Can't get the vision of running away with a beautiful stranger out of my head. Starting to think it may be a mere fantasy that will go unfulfilled. Not to mention I'd never runaway with a complete stranger. Too many looneys out there. Might wake up missing a testicle or some such. Ain't havin' any of that.

NV- I think we all want to ride off into the sunset. It's just that impulse when you are buried in responsibility to be all worry free and wander where you please.

2 more periods and I am done!!!!Today has gone pretty well. Gave my 2 math classes a placement test and it looks like all of them can add and most can subtract. So multiplication it is ( yes my students are 12-15, but they are all kids with learning disabilities)

I hate wearing skirts to school. It's nothing but trouble.( random side note due to our "dress for success Tuesdays" when we show the kids what office professional attire should look like

'Oh happy day...'

Kinda laughed there a bit thanks to MSG.

So dinner, massage, and spending the night.
Mind wandering off to nummero tres again.

I ate lunch and became so ponderifically confused. Can anyone else hear what someone is thinking?
Not neccessarily the details. Mostly thought patterns. On the way back from the movies the other night I could hear a rattling coming from GND's head. Kinda like a ball bearing or marble being thrown around a stone room. Asked what the rattling was, (literally). She became very tense and uneasy.
Seems I'd done this before. Caught a woman in thought and shook things up a bit. Feel kinda bad, but can one really read the thoughts of others?
And if so, is it possible to invade a person's privacy accidentally?
Like I said. Ponderifically confused.

ADD: Tristan and I share a happy place. Does yours have a midget dressed like a cowboy riding a tricycle too?

Tuesday, August 29, 2006 9:59 AM

hmmm NV sounds like you are in sync enough with GND to figure out what she's thinking about. That speaks volumes. I will say I can often tell what my husband is thinking based on the look on his face and I'd bet he can do the same. It usually happens with people you know incredibly well

Tristan- you aren't helping! HUGS good thing I love you darlin'. I don't mind glances ( luckily that's all I'm getting this time) but I've had outright leering and such which put me off a bit. Plus for me mostly it's the remembering to sit modestly. At least the fake tan looks decent ( I have to, my skin is dracula pale)

Thanks for this grand advice. Getting her alone has been the problem. Arg. Sucks to go to school and deal with people too. I think I'm failing my beloved major.

Ah, I missed M4P. I'll be part of your chorus, too. Go get 'em, girl.

Tristan, of course food made my list. I LOVE food (well, actually sweets...and specifically dark chocolate)...but it is also the bane of my existence. It's a tenuous relationship at best. But just try and pry the dark chocolate from my cold dead hands. You'd have better luck wrestling a grizzly.

And the horses thing was utterly predictable, but what can I say.

Have I missed anything juicy? Anyone got a new significant other?

I've been having a manic time! Went to my first nudist event (actually great fun!), came this close to having my first lesbian experience and had a wonderful holiday with my sex buddy without a cross word being spoken! Sadly now it's back to job hunting, living with parents and having no social life!

SERYN

Hello! Ok, i've been really bad at keeping up with this thread for the last few weeks, I didn't mean to, but i've been so busy, and y'all move so fast, my lightning in a butter barrel friends.

So, I suppose, straight in with the long and involved detail from the life of Helen....

My siblings an i are stereotypical My eldest sister is put-upon and in my parents eyes the reliable one, I'm middle and most likely to be forgotten about, but i think i have the edge in the academic stakes, and my brother is the youngest and only boy, so he is spoilt rotten by my father.

The fights in our house when we were kids were epic, as was the trickery and ritualised torture (my crimes alone feature throwing an iron saucepan at my sister, climbing the walls and sitting near the cieling in order to dump water on people as they come out of the bathroom, and forcing my brother into drag at an early age) I'd like to say that the urge to fight has gone away, but it hasn't. Not living with my sister has improved the situation We can now make it about 6 hours with out bloodshed. Basically she's nice and simple and honest, if airy fairy and holier than thou and a closet b****, and i'm a complicated, sarcastic and contrary, but much more fun to have around.
I still do wrestle with my brother on occasion, and a swipe around the head finds its way to him sometimes.

My mother, somehow, managed to, as part of some general non-conformism agenda, implant in our heads that drugs, alchohol and petty crime were actually a bit crap and pointless, and ultimitly a bit boring. This was done mainly by granting us ample opportunity to indulge ('long as we never let on to dad)(NOT the petty crime i hasten to add) in anything we wanted, We never did. (ok, we never did much)
Its very hard to rebel really when your mum is happy to join in. And often beating you to it.

So...

Interestingly, mine and my brothers experience tally with Magda's. He always had the problem of not applying himself enough because the work wasn't stimulatin him enough (he's looking at doing a second degree, this time in robotics and AI, and according to his teachers he's always been 'slow')(funny story - my mum got called into his school when he was four, and told that he couldn't do colour or numbers, so my mother asked him to name the colours of things she pointed to, he did everyone right, then counted from 1 to 20 and back down again. When asked why he didn't do it for his teachers, he said he was 'tricking them', fifteen years later the exact same thing happened to my dads sister and her son) And i was always pecieved as brighter, but only in creative area's, and so was miserable with stress for most of school (when i got to college at 21, i found out i was dyslexic, when i told my mother she said she'd told my teachers i was when i was nine, but they'd dismissed her claims as i was a good reader) Despite this, my sister got constant updates on all of my 'achievements', which made her feel great i'm sure.

Though all of this paled in comparison to the trauma of having my dad teaching in my school - and the other kids knowing it.

Other folk love lives, i've resolved to stay the hell outof it, for my own sanity.

(one friend at the m,oment it with a guy, but not 'with' him, they do everything couples do, they both 'want commitment', but he has 'issues' from his last girlfriend, he also believes that she cheats on him, and says thats ok, then cry's about it. She get upset at his not trusting her, and says that she should dump him, but they've just moved intogether. She also doesn't trust him. All the while insisting that they arn't together so its fine to see others.

If i get involved now it will be to grab them by the necks and hit their heads together and tell them to grow the f*** up.

On my brain?

1, sew costumes
2, pack! finish costumes!
3, finish costumes!
4, argh!
5, I hate other peoples small children
6, eat something
7, frickin' costumes!
As of the completion of my last bit od sewing.

!, ahhhhhhhh.... bliss.
2, oh, hungry.

New imponderable. I, in the midlle of a hundred million other tasks, sat there Dying my hair, waxing my legs, plucking brows and painting toes.

WHY? NO ONE IS GOING TO SEE ANY OF IT!

my legs will be covered up all the time, likewise toes, what does it matter if i have roots? Wy do i need none bushy eyebrows? Why am i packing make up? wy bother buying new underwear for this trip. I'm single! No one give a flying fart what i look like, so why am i going to all of this trouble?

This thought occured to me just as i was about to pull another wax strip off, and even while pondering it, i continued to blithely keep pulling my hair out by the roots.

Now, This one had to be bought out and shown to the world.

Everybody - say thank you Arcadia.

So, almost a first eh? And you got the nudist colony first out of the way. Plus passin' your exam and all. And wrassilin' with the beneficial friend with nary a cross word. Sounds like one hell of a time.

Mmmmmm! Thanks Arcadia!

I really empathise about the whole "Why do I bother!" cry of the despairing singleton. I am currently all hairy and flobbly and feeling frumpy but have decided that a bit of primping the next time I go out and meet people (possibly as far away as September at the Serenity3 event) will be in order, not to conform to some sort of society ideal of femininity (God, if a man would only stay with me if my legs were perfectly smooth I'd cast him away in disgust!) but as a morale booster to try to bolster my flagging ego. I've also put myself on a strict diet (too much binging over Uni work!) on the theory that if I can get myself feeling good about me I may be more likely to attract more flattering comments and create a positive feedback loop of self worth!

Hmm, where did that long spurge come from?! I've obviously been suffering from withdrawal symptoms here!

My own family had only two in it. My brother had a learning disability, and was, accordingly, very poor in school. He had a moderate creative streak to him, but he barely graduated. I was constantly bored in school, got by with middling grades with near-zero effort. I never got arrested (my brother did once), I never got drunk (EVER), never did drugs (brother did 'shrooms once).
Couple with that that I'm socially stunted, introverted to a fault, caustic, rude, terse, and have all the social skills of a pimple... Yeah, me and my bro couldn't be more diametrically opposed if you threw our family to the SitCom Committee.

Stress is my bane. I don't deal with it. At all. Thus, whenever something important comes along, my body goes into shock, turns off all autoimmune response, and I contract a highly unpleasant illness whenever I need to be at my intellectual or physical prime. It's as regular as clockwork. I've just had to alter my habits so I can get by while only working at 50% of capacity.

Emma... Hairy? As in legs? Do you shave? Forgive me if I've gotten the wrong impression or am just being crude (I do that sometimes)... What that makes me think of, in the filthier parts of my mind, is friction burns.

Really gotta get my head out of the gutter...

Anyway, moving back into my apartment in less than a week, so I'll finally have some peace, quiet, and privacy. And sleep... wonderful... wonderful sleeeeeep...

Good to see you again, darlin!
On my mind?
1) Need a new job
2) Yeah, you know...
3) Food (sadly my best replacement for yeah you know so I've been overindulging)
4) How little time I seem to have. WTF? Seriously? Any form of social life has gone down the tubes because my sleep schedule is all messed up. It's terrible.
Hiya, Ged

sorry, you're one of the many I've been meaning to get in touch with. Good on you for the dates! I, too, had a "meh" date. And that's been it, really. Was a couple weeks ago now (Lord and Lady where is the time going?)
Seryn, I'm not sure what that's about. I quite literally haven't shaved my legs for six months because no one is going to see or appreciate them. I have tried to keep up with the eyebrows and underarms, though.
I shave my legs when I feel sexy. Haven't felt sexy, haven't shaved the legs. Maybe all the primping is because you're really going after a date, or maybe it's just habit. I dunno.

On the subject of MsG's issue with skirts, quite frankly, I HATE TEENAGE BOYS!!!

Moving on...

To the concept of dumping a guy fastlikeafreak if he was only interested in unshaven legs, right on, keep at that!

Frankly, I've never really understood the issue of hair, on legs or anywhere much else. I admit to prefering eyebrows apart, but really why does it matter in the slightest? i should mention that I walk aruond in shorts most of the year (cali weather, i can do that) and i dont shave my legs... I don't care about it, and if I'm turning the opposite sex away, well good, if you're looking at my legs as a judge to spend time with me, bug off.

On that subject, i've realized in the last two days that I, beyond a shadow of a doubt, have friends, who really actually like me. Maybe this has something to do with a girl i've known for ages who keeps all her feelings and her friends closely guarded (not to mention has an SO atm) sat next to me at an assembly (there was limited space, but she could have found girlfriends or someone else, etc) and actually enjoyed it. I deem myself a good enough judge of character to know that. And that was, uplifting. It's odd, I always knew if I asked if they were my friend, they'd probably say yes to not offend, but it seems like oftentimes i can't tell if they actually want to spend time with me, and that's important to me. But since i've been back at school, I just feel like people actually want my company... (is that a teen-angst cliche or what?)

Also, it occurs to me what is on my mind are three things...

1)Homework.
2)The Show.
3)Friends. (see:at school)

All three tend to intertwine, but those are the three things that matter atm, if i can just get past the rarely-being-home thing, and the living-for-nothing-but-school thing, i might actually be happy.

Huh. Dunno what to think!

But if you read all this, you may have come to my original conclusion... I HATE TEENAGE BOYS!! see? I went full circle.

I'll be sharing a room with four other girls, in a hotel surrounded by sweaty strangers, with an atmosphere of concentrated geekiness. I'd have to be insane to even imagine anglng for a date!

I think what it is is some off shoot of that think your mother always told you - always wear clean underwear just incase you get run over by a bus.

It's a dignity saving exercise for the benefit of the doctors.

Now if the docs in america look like any of the tv docs, i'm glad i did it - maybe then i'll be angling for a date.

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

The implication being that you're not insane?

But seriously, I was talking in general, not really in "an atmosphere of concentrated geekiness" though you may be surprised at where good people pop up.

not in that way.. insane i mean.

No, this weekend is going to be one of maximum fun but minimum privacy, so no, i'm not looking for a date (least not the sort where shaved legs come into it) so even if mister perfect sprang up, we'd just have to exchange numbers and do our best to catch up later(I have absolutely nothing agaisnt geeks by the way, love 'em to bits, generally great folk, i am one! I even have a badge, two infact!

)

But yes, in general i think you are right - if i go out the tweezers and wax strips are never far away, i think it's just insurance again, should lightning strike you don't want to be stood in front of your ideal man smelling of singed hair.
