Quote:

Sadly, I know I'm a lot more vulnerable than I think I am, if that makes sense.


Yes it does, and it explains a lot. Or, I should say, it shows how smart you are through the bravado.
You're smart all...a girl! I keep expecting to see evil spock with a goatte whipped on.

Quote:

But in a way, what I believe about myself defines my reality


I know precisely what you mean. You can just about defy reality with a brave enough front. A slightly related concept I call the Road Runner Thesis: hurtling forward you can do amazing things, just so long as you never look down while you're over the canyon, 'cause if you do, you fall.


Quote:

See, I truly see myself as not lonely. So long as I know I'm not lonely, I'll just not be.


I know what you mean, I'm just telling you it's on an egg timer. It's easier for you because in the back of your mind you know you're still hot and still not quite in middle age. The problem is right about fifteen minutes from now. It will change, my pretty.

Quote:

Until, of course, it slaps me across the face and says, "Pay attention, dammit!" As it does every now and then


Doubles every year. Just remember. Every year.


Quote:

*scowl* You're a real prince. Or another "pri" word with considerably fewer letters.



A prize? Aw, thanks!


Quote:


*innocent grin* Who...me? I was, of course, just putting myself in the middle of your little scale -- not too hot, but not too not, if you get my drift.



Actually, if I had to guess I would guess you're pretty decently hot. It fits with your personality.


Quote:

See, I'm usually the one who is chastised for "forgetting" to call, for missing a date, for not remembering birthdays/anniversaries. My ex can still remember when we first kissed, for God's sake. I can't even remember the exact day I left him.


Hmm, I'm searching for a word, something to capture how I think about that...oh yeah! Liar. I know for a fact the bravado stance comes from being hurt, so it's very likely the feller is seared into your brain. You see it's like this: the reason you're putting up the front is due to you learning that you ARE vulnerable. People learn they're vulnerable when they get hurt. Now, part of it is nature: I do believe you have a less than needful way, that I believe. But I also know it's exagerated out of a -oh god forgive me for the words- a defense mechanism. You don't merely avoid the sentimental stuff, you put on a SHOW about it.



Quote:


Except for that last bit, you're spot-on. You might even be right about the last, though I'm usually far more comfortable around men than I ever am around women.... But if you mean afraid of a real relationship with a man, then you're by-God right on the money.



That's precisely what I meant. I also believe you when you say you run away the first time a man says something soft that girls like to hear.

You should probably go easier on most men than you do though: I speak from experience when I tell you we say that to girls to get them into bed. It's just a trained response. We say something cute, they awww, we keep looking at our watch until we can say "Yaaawwwnnn, this has been great bonding...so, I'm a bit sleepy. Wanna bond some more over there on the bed?".


Quote:


I don't disagree on any particular point. Which sucks.



Yeah, it's probably good you realize earlier rather than later that I'm just about always right. So you get used to it and all, you know.


Quote:


Heh, I like that I have you all avoiding stuff, though. Makes us even, don't you think?



No. I owe you a real live smack on your rear for your insolence, a good one that leaves a red spot for twenty minutes. You're in luck, being that far away. Real luck.

Have you ever:
Used your teeth as wire strippers?

But just in case anybody's still listening...

I'm a 20-year-old SWF (21 on March 2nd!), going to school in Pittsburgh, PA, but originally from central New Jersey. Aside from FF, I love photography and the written word. I think I'm an easy-going, low maintenance chick - maybe a Kaylee/Zoe, with a bit of River's goofiness thrown into the mix.

Guy-wise, I adore Washies - goofy and smart and sweet and not all hard and muscley. I look for someone who can be a good friend first, and a good boyfriend second. I also love committment (OK, anyone reading just tuned out right there), so one-night-stands don't interest me at all.

Just got out of four years' worth of CRAZY, and I'm not looking to dive into anything, but it's never a bad thing to just have a friend.

Anybody who feels like chatting...hit me up!

This is the really sad thing... all you guys out there that think the whole "lesbian" thing is hot (I don't get it)..


What's to get? It's addition. One woman = good. Two women = twice as good. It's always at least slightly disconcerting to have another man around who isn't you anyway, so it's a way to see them have sex without an enemy penis. Two of them!

I do understand why it leaves some people cold, though. I didn't get it until one day in my late 20's, when it just suddenly MADE SENSE. And I mean all at once, in one instant. I believe my exact phrase was "ohhhh, TWO women!". See, cause it's more than one woman! Having SEX!

You are not comparing apples to apples.. it's not twice as good if neither of those women want to have anything to do with you! A billion women does not equal a billion times as good.. if they want to have nothing to do with you.. Like I said.. be careful what you wish for. Personally.. it's not that I don't "get it".. I know most guys think the lesbian thing is "so hot" or whatever.. it's really more than I only care to have s*x with the same woman a million times... not a million women once. So it doesn't matter to me if it's two women or a billion.. You can have your harem.. I only want and need my one true soul slave.. who can keep up.. and needs me like she needs to breath.

I'm a little late to this party (and new to the site), but I'm procrastinating so here goes:

21 year old (almost 22!) SWF in Madison, WI. I'm in college and I work a lot. I'm random, spontaneous, and occasionally prone to neurotic female moments. I love skydiving, scuba diving, travelling, dancing, and having a damn good time. I revel in my own awkwardness. Sometimes I mutter in German or Vietnamese. I plan on fleeing the country for a few years when I graduate before eventually returning to attend medical school.

I haven't had that one, but there is a bar called Fat Head's that's famous for their excessive sandwiches and I did once try to eat one of those. :) It was featured in Maxim, I think. (The sandwich, not me eating it.)

Have you ever heard of Denny's Beer Barrel Pub in Clearfield, PA? It is only about a 2 hour drive from Pittsburgh. You want an "excessive" sandwich, they have 2, 3 and 6 pound hamburgers. Honest! If you can finish it in a certain amount of time, you go up on the Wall of Fame, get a t-shirt and your meal is free.

They were on Food Network once. I have witnessed people trying the 2 pounder. None of them finished.

I wasn't what he needed, though he thought I was. *shrug* He needed someone to...I dunno...take care of. I didn't need that kind of attention, and it made us both unhappy.

True and not true. It's true that it is nature. It's just my way. But it has been blown out of proportion, thanks to the past relationship with The Guy. I was independent before. Now, I'm FIERCELY independent.

See, he tried to kinda coerce me into being dependent, calling it compromise. I compromised so much before I finally broke it off that I barely recognized myself after it was over.

Once I realized what had happened, I determined that it would never happen again. There's nothing wrong with change/compromise in a relationship, but when one side is always compromising and the other isn't, that's...GIVING IN.

Never again, even if I never find a man who appreciates the struggle.

A 7 pound pizza would be like eating 7 pounds of bread...unless it's totally overloaded with toppings. Either way...yikes.

There's an ice cream shop near my house that has some sort of "mega bowl" that's 15 scoops or something like that. 15 scoops of ice cream doesn't sound like a lot...but it sure looks huge.

I can't decide if this conversation is making me hungry or nauseous. lol

Ok, first things first, what the hell is a snerk? I mean, it's pretty obvious it's close to snark which is like snarky, but it occurs to me those ain't words neither.

Oh, and watching FF eating good grub after an excellent romp with the new/old girl I inject fluids into these days- she smiles and says "Jayne makes my girl parts tingle". I did have to laugh. Never heard that one before. For some reason, I thought of you.

The key is to be a jerk enough to get women to spread for you. Then you can be nice some, but not too much. Then they say "awwwww" when you do something minimally kind. Then you feel like you've accomplished something, turned a tough guy a little nice. That's the key to you womenfolk, you all want the same thing. You want a bad boy to be good to YOU.

There's an ice cream shop near my house that has some sort of "mega bowl" that's 15 scoops or something like that. 15 scoops of ice cream doesn't sound like a lot...but it sure looks huge.

I can't decide if this conversation is making me hungry or nauseous. lol



I know what you mean. 15 scoops of ice cream is a heck of a lot of ice cream. I love ice cream and all, but that would, obviously, be too much for me. I guess this is part of the problem when it comes to American portion control. I am amazed sometimes when I look at labels and see how little one serving really is. It makes me feel bad. :(

Do you drive? hee hee



Hey! I resemble that Mustang remark Just kidding!

I like poli-sci, I'm (hopefully) graduating this year with an honors degree. Then I'm going back for a year to complete a diploma in writing before applying to grad school. That's the plan anyway.

So what kind of arts classes are you taking? Is it visual arts or English or...?

Yeah, I drive...



Hiya.
You're doing your diploma at Western?
The grad school, wow you are a machine!
I'm actually in Spanish (its just under the Arts program/college thingy)
after that, time for a real job! Job hunting sucks!
No I'm a horrible drawer. I struggle with stick figures lol.
You have MSN or something? Or is it possible to talk through private messages or something?



Hey,
Yeah it's a diploma/certificate thing (depends on whether you complete it with a degree or after, I find out today which it'll be for me)
And the grad school thing is hopefully!
Spanish - cool.
I got your PM, so will respond with the rest that way.

Philosophy is almost a natural reaction to things we don't understand enough to make a science out of, so yes, I get very philosophical about women. Females make no sense.

Males are much easier to understand on average, as their minds usually work in more simple and immediate ways. If a woman can't understand a man, chances are it's because she's thinking too hard.

Both genders are a source of unending frustration for me, but the few times women have entered any of my "circles", things became infinately more confusing. I'd have to say that the happiest times in my life were when I was deployed and there were absolutley no women around. I had to worry about being shot at on a daily basis, but I honestly remember those times being more enjoyable and relaxing than any time I had a female in my life.

Have you ever:
Used your teeth as wire strippers?
Given yourself stitches?
Made improvised munitions with no base supplies?
Pissed in a canteen?
Gone a month without bathing?

If so, you MIGHT just be a !HOOAH MOTHERF*CKER!

I think a lot of that is just a dirty advertising trick, so they can say "buy our package of 6 donuts! Only 150 calories!" So you get sucked in and don't realize it's really 150 calories per donut until you've eaten like 4.

Or maybe my communications/marketing focus has made me cynical. :)

Portions are out of control, I'll give you that, but it's hard to avoid, for reasons bigger than just gluttony. Eating - especially eating food worth eating - is such a sensual experience.

150 calories for a donut? More like 550 calories. Ah, but who can resist a good donut?

I was watching TV the other day and saw an ad for a burger at some chain American restaurant (like Chilis) and the thing was enormous. Or those triple cheese burgers at Wendy's. Not that they taste bad, I am sure they taste great but they are so outrageous. Hm. Sensual experience, eh? Channeling a little Kaylee are you?

Burgers are especially tricky, I think, because what makes a burger really good is the stuff you put on it and it's easy to go overboard on that. Before you know it, your burger is overwhelmed and eight inches high.

Haha...I guess I was, you're right. :) Though I think a strawberry is a lot sexier to eat than a big meaty burger! lol

As long as we are dreaming, I would like a million dollars.

I agree about the burgers. Me, I am a traditionalist. Lettuce, tomato, onion, ketchup and mayo. No pickles. No mustard. No peppers.

What was that burger chain that was trying to sell the sexiness of the burger using that blonde hotel bimbo, Paris Hilton? They seemed to think burgers are pretty sexy. I take your side, though, not really all that sensual.

Y'see, this is a true sign of civilisation gone mad.

So removed from the primal hunter-gatherer stuff, its made so convenient, we are totally removed from its production, it arrives neatly packaged and rarely resembling its natural state.

Food has passed beyond a 'sensual experience' (and it really is, eating is the most fun you can have with your knickers on*) and is now a challenge.

little more than a game, you can win prizes!

lordy, rant over. Just had to be said.

of course its now occured to me that all those 'primal' hunting urges are being channelled elseware, and like a cooped up budgerigar, growing ever desperate to get out. You want proof?


ladies and gentlemen, I give you the little lurve-monkey himself...*drumroll* Bitterbierce!

of course, i'm wrong, men like BB have been around always, thats why he's so damn cool - he's the only man i've ever known who openly admits his John Thomas is running the show.

Still wouldn't sleep with him though, Call me a fool, but there something attractive about that whole illusion of sophistication, I kinda like men who feel but don't tell.

Speaking of which...

Um...a million dollars...10 more seasons of Firefly...a Serenity triology...

I haven't had a burger in ages, now that I think of it. I like lots of lettuce and ketchup and mayo, cheese too, maybe bacon if it's real bacon and not that paper thin faux bacon crap. Tomatoes are problematic because they slip and slide all around, but good, nonetheless. I'm a big fan of juicy sauteed onions. Yum yum!

I love the commercial for Date Movie (which I heard was pretty awful) with the chick and the burger, mocking the Paris Hilton spot. I guess I love pretty much anything making fun of Paris. But then...it's almost too easy.

I'd have to admit that the most relaxing times I've ever had were when I was the only girl around. Me and my guy friends get along just fine...until a "real" girl walks in.

You know, one that doesn't like football but pretends to, doesn't like beer or BBQ but pretends to, and fixes her hair and make-up to watch baseball because she can't imagine wearing a baseball shirt for that particular team without looking fetching in it.

You could say that about anything. It's kind of the point.

Not trying to pick a fight either, but my ex used to give me a line all the time about men being somehow "better" than women because he could understand men. (Which, him being a man and not a woman, makes sense, don't you think?)

So I guess I'm sensitive about being labeled hard to understand because I don't see myself that way at all. (Which, again, makes sense.)

Sorry if you felt like I was jumping down your throat, didn't mean it to be like that.

It is hard to top a good burger, at least, for me it is. Fake bacon? Facon? I heard it called that on a TV show once. Got me thinking about all other manner of vegetarian offerings like those tofurkeys for Thanksgiving. My friends and I came up with "falsage" rather than "sausage" and thought we could come up with a whole line of funny names for meat-less products but that was as far as we got.

Well now that's a bit of the standard complaint: both men and women do standard frustrated complaining and primping about the opposite sex. Just the difference is men are supposed to sit there and take it while women run riot and sneer endlessly about men.. Women are allowed to be "sensitive" if the reverse happens. Although that's a general oservation and not so much directed at you because I havent' seen you whine much. But, you brought it up so I talked about it.

Well, complaining is complaining - and everyone complains, especially about the opposite sex. I don't think it should become a person's mantra, whatever their gender. Women get away with it more because men are too scared to tell them to shut the hell up and move on.
