(Previously:)
NVG asked about if bein' buzzed and phone callin' 'bout relationship status compared to bein' all kindsa drunk and itchin' for a fight (with respect to the same person) means there's all kinds of hidden craziness going on..
My vote: Yep...and she might not be able to understand or express it yet.

As for the extremely cool half-asian chick...Lemme paraphrase the cartoon..
GO JOE!
(Gorramit, the whole freakin' board thinks you deserve it.) You care 'bout her, but right now you don't owe her any more loyalty than as a distant friend. Go have fun with Felicia.

Hope the D*C-ers have a relaxing weekend and come back refreshed.

Thanks 'Neko. Kinda giggled when john and I were pondering where she gets her incredible color from. I honestly had to ask because the color and her facial features didn't match and I'm actually pretty good at those sorts of things. She's half Japanese.

As for Drunk dialing: I learned to repress all sorts of anger when drinking. It actually works better than when I'm sober.
But as for dealing with someone who's off their nut regardless of sobriety status, there isn't much I want to do with her at the moment.

Thanks for dropping in 'Neko. When does your break start again?

ADD: Gotta run. I'll run in this weekend as I really got to get payroll out early Monday. G'night folks.

Well, aside from hanging out all evening for two evenings I really didn't do much other than that with her. I realized something: she might get me in trouble. She's been divorced for six months after five years with a real dirtbag, still likes to go out dancing in town, and drinks. Okay, putting these things aside I forgot what is said about co dependant reovery: Avoid ANYONE you are easily attracted to.

Not that I won't still give her a chance. We had a whole lotta fun just hanging out. I just wanna be sure that I ain't making a mistake.

Of course that mistake might simply to be having sex with her on a regular basis with no more commitment that to the sexual relationship as she is just as afraid of STI's as I am.

Not much else going on. Shooting with a large group next weekend as a kid everyone calls Sarge is moving away and we want to give him a fun send off.

Good Morning everyone. It has been raining on and off for a few days and I am so enthralled with the brisk, clean mornings. I hope everyone else is offered such a great feeling.

This seems to be a pattern for you. Are you sure this isn't just the hero complex again?

NVGHOSTRIDER

Monday, September 24, 2007 4:44 PM

Not sure Zeek. I didn't really know until recently. Seems she just gets to hanging around having fun at the shop and that is it. What's funny is that I never got the idea that she needed to be saved or even helped. She makes more money than me, drives an awesome Monte Carlo, and makes her own way in her life. I think it just feels good to have someone elses attention for a change.

Jimi: thanks for the advice. I know there just has to be a preferential choice to be made and some research to make the decision. I'm thinking the research is more than enough reward to find a preferance.

(Smiles for the hand shakey thingy) Thanks Jimi.

I like giving the attention MSG. It ain't like she's waving her stuff openly in front of me. At the onset it was a bit different. She wore some more revealing tops and such, but my focus really wasn't there and I think she caught on to that. Now she is a bit more casual with her clothing and my focus is on her even more now. I had fun. The kinda fun I used to have with Mindy before slipping off her nut. I like girls who love to talk, have a quick wit, warm smile, and that bit of wild spirit behind their eyes. That will never change.

Morning shiny folks!

I'm mostly recovered from my weekend. My last horse show of the year (of the ones I run) went off without a hitch...although I am EXHAUSTED. You've heard my volunteer rants more than once...well, it gets worse as the year goes on. But the last show, I'm down to bare minimum. I was literally working on show stuff from 8 am on Sat to 11-30pm, was at the barn at 7am on Sun and didn't leave until 7pm. That kinda schedule tires a girl out. :D

I did get a chance to ride (not my horse...he's still recovering) and had some fun. And turns out this will be good schooling for me as Show will be out of the game for about 6 weeks. Eek. The big putz. That means I had to call yesterday and un-RSVP myself from the $1000 Hunter Challenge we qualified for. Boo hiss. There's rarely a chance to win money in the hunters at the shows I go to and I was looking forward to the opportunity.

hehe that movie is awesome. It's really a guy movie though. All the girls I know who saw it were not as impressed. Probably especially cause they're at the same sorta stage as the girl is. So, they were more like "omg I gotta run out and buy a chastity belt". Though it occurs to me that this is what after school specials really should have been like.

Show that movie in sex ed and the girls will get the picture way quicker than some lame documentary.

Well you can always get the "unrated" DVDs.

The rated one is R R and extra R. Not for nudity though there is a birth scene that made audiences go "ewwwww". Though in a sex ed class I guess that would be a bonus.

There is a ton of swearing though. A sex ed class should be mature enough for profanity though right? I mean half the subject matter is considered profanity by some.

Quote:
From IMDB in 1/31/2002

"Cusack For President"

A campaign to elect John Cusack as President of the United States has been launched on the internet. On the site, www.cusackforpresident.com, fans can fill out a form to register their support for the star. They can then order a T-shirt with the slogan "Cusack for Prez" emblazoned across it and distribute flyers - which the site urges them to give to friends and movie fans waiting in movie lines. The site proclaims, "He made the tough decisions in Grosse Pointe Blank. He couldn't be bought in Eight Men Out. He's cooler than John Malkovich. And we like his politics so far."

But who wouldn't want John Cusack for Pres. with Jeremy Piven as his VP? That's a pairing I could stand behind. Might even make me interesting in politics.

Hugs for msg, too. hope the day gets better.

Well hmm day semi improved as the copier is back on line and my adorable aid Abby just got my copies for the rest of the week and next done so I am nicely prepped...which calms me...

Ok now someone quick tell me I cannot have another piece of chocolate...drat that man. My friend Nico brought me a huge bag of my favorite imported chocolates...and they are calling to me. I had a piece...but I'm not eating any more. I am so getting back into my size 6 clothes by January...

In honor of the founding member of the 76th IB, founder of the Imponderables thread, and a brother in arms I am graced to call friend, this thread is dedicated to Tristan. I know there is static here and there, but oh well. Regardless of our qualms we have to set things aside from time to time to say:

Thank you.

So here's to Tristan and all of out brothers, sisters, friends who will be representing us at D*C this year. I am rarely so proud as I am of all of you.

Thank you, brutha-man, for posting this, and thanks to all that responded.

We did show well at the Con, and many new family members were forged that weekend. Even managed to get some of us with friction still between us into the same house.

I won't say I miss this thread, as it has been so long since I have spent time here, but it looks like it's headed back to what it once was. I see familiar faces and some newer ones, and that make me happy. I am glad to see this is still going on in some form or another.

Keep Pondering! We might one day figure each other out!

Haha true I think there was an early rule banning politics from the imponderables. Maybe that was a bad plan.

New topic: touchiest subject you could innocently bring up on a first date right before you realize you made a terrible mistake.

I'd put politics on the list but it can't be the worst can it?

Oh, not much. Still teaching in what is officially the roughest area in Dublin. My class are cool though. I'm having a blast.

Oh, and a policeman was shot around the corner from where I work. Which is a rare thing on this side of the Atlantic. He's going to be okay though. Needless to say there's a massive manhunt happening in the city right now.

Other than that one, exes are another thing to avoid.

DTH, a shooting does NOT sound like a good thing over there! Here's hoping the guy is caught and fast.

RIMG, might try to visit more often. Can't promise anything, but I'll try. I have not even been to the 76th thread in here....is it still around?

Happy morning to all. I had to decorate a co-worker's cubie this morning for her birthday...so I'm a little cheery right now. It's hard to decorate and be all "blah".

And just on a side note, if we're going to elect him president, we should spell his name correctly. It's Cusack.

Prison name is giving me a complex. After myheritage.com told me I look like Jerry Seinfeld (WTF? It also said I look like Nicole Kidman...um, yeah...those two look a whole lot a like. Not. And neither looks anything like me.) prisonbitch says my name would be boy bitch. I'm going to need therapy soon.

"It is a rather rare occurrence, but occasionally, I spell Cusack incorrectly."

Argh!

You just need to think outside the box. When I was a kid I explained to my mom that I could make the english language more efficient by changing the spelling of works. What do we need this whole 'y' letter for anyway? 'i' works just fine.

I'm sure you could respell some words to make them more efficient too.

Good morning from The Turd Burglar (prison bitch name).

So this morning I told my mothers boyfriend to get the F out. Of course there are reasons why but I'm avoiding saying right now because I'm saving a bit of energy 'til noon when I go home. He was told not to be there when I go home for lunch.

Think I'll amuse myself with the thought of four inch heeled black lether boots for a bit. (Looks up) WTF? Seems someone is thinking along the same lines as me.
