xp - I was more certain earlier. I have a back-up in mind if it turns out not to be frogs.

Jon Arbuckle what a limp penis!

Painting woodwork and seeing a married friend, in fact!

I thought about saying yes to the daet tonight but you know, it was giving me the anxiety and meant rearranging my schedule and just, no. I shouldn't start out by agreeing to things that make me unhappy, even if it makes me uncomfortable to define that boundary.

Why are you nervous Mr Farmer?
I live in a fishbowl college town and my last dating experience was a disaster. Also, I have very strong feelings for someone who lives 1000 miles away, who I've seen twice in the last eleven months, and I don't have the resources to increase that number. But I can't let go! Sorry, I'm listening to George Michael right now.

this thread has turned into a shining example of how men are socialized to think they are right all the time and talk over the people, amirite?

no man is ever "Right" enough for me!

Pablo, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 22:11 (twelve years ago) link

I just nuked a kind of hilarous 600 word post on the grounds that somebody might get mad at me. i'm not even good at arguing about gender - i fail at man 101

Lame Melusine reference, sorry

Don't be a coward but don't waste anybody's time, either. If you're vaguely interested but not for tonight, don't go; you wouldn't be doing either of you a favor.

Mr Farmer, do you know what you're looking for?

Companionship? Fucking? An escape fantasy from a 1K distant torch? Someone to dine with? What?

aw i just listened to this song like 1 hr ago

I have lived in a fishbowl college town too, and it sounds like you're healing by hiding out with Ms 1000miles away. Maybe you don't really want to meet anyone right now.

Have you seen macaque? It's quite sexy.

M. White, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 23:19 (twelve years ago) link

^movember winner

I have seen a lot of tv programmes in which mothers are all 'did you know {foo} has two children now, when are you going to meet a nice boy/girl and settle down' but I have never met a person who's said their mother says that.

agreeing w/ ppl who say nah this totally happens, and that Garfield's owner reads like frogbs

i haven't worn my ring for a week and the groove in my finger is still there, i'm sort of enjoying watching it fade and wondering how long it'll take

Sad Banter (p much resigned to deems), Thursday, 1 December 2011 13:38 (twelve years ago) link

i dunno i feel guilty for trotting out sad minutiae of sadness but i don't have anybody on hand to bore with this on a daily basis plus it's easier to type it out into a half-void than sit and chew somebody's ear off irl, am doing chirpy blitz spirit there

have been pondering the future possibility of going on a date ever a date...now there's a properly bleak train of thought :-)

Julie Lagger, Thursday, 1 December 2011 13:42 (twelve years ago) link

Julie Lagger, Thursday, 1 December 2011 13:43 (twelve years ago) link

Sad Banter (p much resigned to deems), Thursday, 1 December 2011 13:54 (twelve years ago) link

thx. i think sometimes i just like to think stuff out loud, doesn't have to have a response, doesn't not have to, egotistical fucker that i am. ilx = 10-bob counsellor or something.

a part of me likes starting from first principles, so that's something. am mostly very "what the fuck do i do now?" tho

Hey kids, remember not to develop a serious crush on someone you work w/ on a daily basis, esp. if they live over 1000 miles away. Because that would be fucking stupid.

Simon H., Thursday, 1 December 2011 15:10 (twelve years ago) link

Yeah, 'cause crushes are so rational...
