Imponderable Water Cooler - Walking On Thin Ice by JonnyQuest

Well folks, I'm out for the weekend. Wish me luck. Seems like "She" is really wanting to spend some time together this weekend.

Goodnight.

Sorry, but it is really women that should grow their breasts with some degree of mathematical accuracy. (Insert joke about Pi here.)

I know that an individual bra is not inexpensive, especially those that are hard to find. An old friend used to have hers made custom. Something like this:

All this talk of bra sizes and that which fills 'em is rekindling my desire to find a good plastic surgeon and get some of me own...!

Why? You couldn't possibly be having trouble attracting men. Is it just a personal thing?

Aww, thanks for sayin'! It has nothing to do with attracting anyone, though. Just a personal thing (see below).

FlyVote - I don't mean to dismiss your pet peeve, but...

While I imagine there are a lot of people (women and men) subjecting themselves to plastic surgery simply because they feel the "peer pressure" need to "fit in" or look "just right" in the eyes of others...

...you seem to be dismissing those of us who are intelligent and well adjusted enough to not actually have a problem with how we are, and who don't base our actions or appearance on what "society" tells us. As if it isn't possible to want to modify ourselves in any way unless we're succumbing to popular opinion; that's simply not true.

As an engineer / designer, I have an innate need for symmetry and proportion, when it comes to certain things. I just happen to be one of those things - I don't think I'm proportionally quite right as I am. (I don't seek to be top-heavy, I seek balance.)

I consider breast implants and other plastic surgery akin to dying or cutting your hair in a certain style, getting piercings or tattoos, wearing certain style shoes or clothing, going to a gym to sculpt your body to a certain shape; I make no distinction, it's all exactly the same to me.

It's an aesthetic, not a self-loathing.

...

On the previous, previous, (previous?) subject of children and plastic surgery - it's not entirely the children who are bent, it's the parents. No child can go to a plastic surgeon to get work done without parent's consent. I only have a problem with this because (1) it's not necessarily biologically the best idea to artificially modify a body that hasn't had a good chance to finish growing properly and (2) emotional (read: chemical) imbalances in immature humans (read: children) quite often excessively skew their perceptions, leading to choices that otherwise may not have been made (read: too young and inexperienced to make an informed decision). Just turned 18 and want tits the size of Cancun? I wish you a speedy recovery. Just turned 14 and get teased for big ears? Suck it up, panty-waist.

...I think that's all.
And thank-you for visiting the World of Hell's Kitten. *snikker*

My intent isn't to be judgmental or dismissive. I think you are of sound mind. Feed your need.

Seems the thread has been sleeping for a bit.

(Kicks thread)

Hope that gits 'er goin'.

Weekend went fine. Spent my birthday cleaning one of the shoot houses for a safer game Sunday. Saw 300 with my sisters Sat night and had a few drinks at the bar "She" tends part time. Had to leave early due to sister still having visit with PB and BV. A friend from work actually picked me up a little later and we returned to "She's" bar. Shot some pool and hung out. it was nice.

Before closing "She" noticed I was shooting for shit and offered free shots for the shots I made. It went like this.
"She" walks to our corner carrying a shotglass and a bottle of JC, gives me the ultimatum and sits at the small table near the pool table. With he look I got there was a chance I could have run the table. The first shot was immediate and precise. As she poured the cuervo my heart sank and it seemed I lost the will to drop anymore balls. I missed the rest.
Gorram feminine wiles.
We were supposed to meet later to shoot pool at another bar (more meat market). I ended up leaving after 30 minutes to avoid boredom and a possible altercation. Left her a message, no return yet.
Still worried about going on the daytrip this Sunday. Even if she can't go I hope she'll at least tell me. Seems she's been pretty open and honest lately.
That's about it. If the daytrip don't happen Sunday there is a big shoot scheduled, barbecue and Wrestlemania afterward.

Oh yeah. If the fashion of which the shot was poured was so defined that it is now a permenant picture in your mind like it is mine.

Once, while we still worked together, there was a few minutes of down time and I introduced her to the genius of Robot Chicken. After eight minutes of muffled laugher I had to answer the phone. As I walked back she looked up at me in a way I had not been looked at in years.

It happened again when I retrieved my prize.

Hey there everyone-

Today was certainly the day from Satan's *ss. Glad it is winding down. And after a great weekend, too!

1. Got my taxes done

2. Neighbor very interested in buying Dora (truck) for his nephew.
3. Very competitive game of Battleship; Tidbit (6 years old!) almost beat me. Almost.

4. Excellent thrift store run - Great pants for Tidbit, and a cool tie-died shirt for him. My son, the Dead Head!

RIMG- Glad you mentioned The Riches- I saw 2nd ep over the weekend, and liked it. A lot more than I liked the pilot. Still, Eddie is the best reason to follow the show (so far...)

NV- I'm happy to hear your weekend didn't end in the county lockup. I was wondering what your birthday carousing would entail. Sounds like it was under control...but I think I'm with HK. I reread your post, and still don't quite understand. Big question I have...why would you promise to meet someone later then not show because you might get bored? I'm be hella pissed if I had agreed to meet a friend for pool and he didn't show. Hella Pissed.

EDIT: After I posted this, I went back and reread your posts. Still unclear, but you MAY have been referring to meeting your coworker at another pool hall.
And as to the look "She" gave you? I am instantly reminded of 16 Candles from the 80's, where Long Duck Dong says:

Dude, she's yanky your wanky.

It's an aesthetic, not a self-loathing.

The alterations argument is brief and not at all an opposing point of view, merely a clarifying one, if it is even that. Breast implants, other plastic surgery, dyeing or cutting hair in a certain style, getting piercings or tattoos, wearing certain style shoes or clothing, going to a gym to sculpt your body is a matter of degree perhaps but more than just that. It is a question of "permanent" vs. transient, invasive vs. prosthethic. If it no bother you, it no bother me.

But if (math geek alert) you need to define your external appearance solely by means of Fibonacci Numbers and the Golden Ratio, then I must beg to differ. Of all of the countless homonids with who I have become acquainted over the scores of seasons I've watched and learned upon this earth, you have repeatedly demonstrated your individuality, idiosyncrasy, distinction (there are more; Roget says so). Why then opt for symmetry? Synthetic symmetry at that? Striving for the epitome, rather than exhalting the self? Are you Nietschesque? We already cower before your obvious superiority! Ah yes. It's not for us. I say revell in your asymmetry! Glory in it! It sets you apart, and that where you should be. Where you cannot harm us...

This was a pretty crazy weekend. I was social every day. Very tiring.

Though I did get to play the wii out of it. It was fun though I wasn't all that impressed. The boxing seemed impossible to control and the tennis was just about flailing when you want to hit the ball. I'll probably still get one though. And if georgetown really wins the ncaa tourney I'll have a very nice wii starter fund to buy games and controllers.

Saw TMNT too! Turtle power!!! The movie was about what I expected. A bigger version of the cartoon show basically. Though the plot was a bit out there and there were some plot holes for sure. Overall I give it a B+. Even though SMG just made me think they replaced April with Buffy. Which they pretty much did.

Praise Mavs and her over protective goodness. She may be the vengeful godess who overlooks my romantical well being.

I was to meet "She" at another place after she closed up the place she tends part time. It takes at least an hour to clean, count, and sort. Its not that she didn't show up, its that I wasn't willing to wait longer than an hour at a place I didn't really want to be in the first place. It was me who took charge and said that I didn't want to stay. No point in being miserable and F-ing up an already great night. There is part of her life I have no need to be a part of. One of the things she told me the other day is that she never had the chance to be overly social and (as if I need to say it) she's never really had the chance at an actual "romantic" relationship.
Part of the compliment she paid me after lunch the other day was not only to be open and honest, but to tell me that the value of being around someone who's not just trying to sleep with her is a huge shock.

I don't know what you have or haven't reads Mavs. Seems everyone here's been so busy with stuff that the info is mottled and scetchy at best.

Try not to fret. I'm free. So much anger has been relesed in the past few weeks that I cannot begin to communicate my pleasure in doing so. Its not that I am looking at this as a chance to be with her. It's more like a chance at actually having her as a friend and, at the very least, not being angry anymore.

All of the B.S. I just posted aside, I think that if "She" can understand that I was tired, had a great time already, and had a game scheduled for the morning (the abridged phone message I left), then there should be no need for anger or hurt feelings. Unless of course she never checked her phone messages.
