I can't seem to leave well enough alone.

I also confess to a growing addiction w/ expensive organic products.

[lilacwine13]

Wow, freckle, you really must want me to make that phone call. I keep on forgetting to post in the socially inept dorks thread, even though it fits me perfectly.

I get disillusioned over politics in general, as well as bickering between the Left and the Right. It doesn't seem to accomplish anything, and I'd rather hear about people getting over their differences, realizing changes must be made, and doing them.

[freckleface7]

lilac, you should have called her.
she probably would have been thrilled to hear from you. (bc we all here think you are Wonderful !!) come see us in the socially inept thread sweets, that totally fits the MO.
(((((lilac))))))

I confess to becoming increasingly disillusioned and discouraged by the mass polarisation in our country;
instead of a great melting pot, it's every race/nationality/financial bracket for themselves and the closer the big election gets and I am more than at a loss as to whom to vote for, the less faith I have that anything will improve regardless.
this freaks me out deeply for my frecklette's future.

On Friday I heard that an acquaintance might be in town for the weekend and I was too scared to call her up to see if we could hang out. It's nothing against her, it's just that I couldn't get up the courage to dial the damn phone number, because what if she wasn't in town, or what if she was busy, or what if she just didn't want anything to do with me, or what if we had a lousy time, or any other number of excuses my mind produces instead of something that might be positive.

This is one of the reasons why my social life sucks so bad.

[tyger]

I spent last night hitting on my friend's friend at a bar last night. Not the playful flirting I do to everyone, though, actual, blatant hitting on. This Friday is my first anniversary with the boything. I think I want to leave him and I don't know why.

[toastybean]

ok, now im feeling a little better that im not the only one who is feeling bad about not having a relationship. Every single one of my friends is in a serious relationship...i hate always being the odd one out in couple activities! it sounds so pathetic but i am very much jealous of them and their happiness.

[mouse]

((star & zoya))

i feel the same way. it's so weird that everything in my life is So Awesome right now, except for the boy situation, which is pretty consistently abysmal.

[zoya]

((stargazer)) I sometimes feel the same way. I feel like I've been able to get where I want with my career but I just can't get a grip on a relationship, and I get really fucking tired and pissed off at the whole universe for not making things easier for me in that area. Especially when I see other people around me just falling into great relationships, I wonder why it has to be so goddamned difficult for me - if it's a crapshoot anyway, why can't the guys I meet - who are otherwise really great, together men (finally got that part nailed, thank god) - actually be into pursuing something and sticking with it? Can't that just be as easy as them bailing? All I want is for that area of my life to flow as well as my career stuff has. ARRRGHH.


ps - For the record, Star, I think you're rad. If I had a penis, or if I batted for that team, I'd do ya And in the words of a wise bustie a man should be willing to work hard, if not harder, to keep you as his partner. haha

[roseviolet]

I miss my friends.
And I mean my old friends ... the ones I've known for over a decade who know me better than anybody. The ones who now live 1000 miles away from me. My new friends are okay, but sometimes hanging out with them just reminds me how much I miss my old friends.

Also, I met a gal recently who seems nice and cool and all and she has even offered to help me paint my kitchen! How great is that, right? But I'm kinda reluctant to get too close to her because I know that she and I disagree on a lot of political issues. She says that she could never ever vote for a Democrat.

[culturehandy]

I think that there is no chance for environmental repair while humans exhist. The world will be a better place when humans are no longer here.

[pollystyrene]

((star)) I know this sounds trite, but good things happen to those who wait. You're more than your career- you're dynamic, fun to be with, a great friend and a good person. I *know* that someday, a nice guy will figure that out about you.

[stargazer]

even with all of my accomplishments, i feel like a failure of a woman for not being able to create a relationship for myself. or not being able to inspire a man to take care of me. i feel like i only have my career to fall back on. and i hate that i was nervous and ashamed to even post this. but, i think it is the reality of how i feel. boo.

[ginger_kitty]

I have been feeling guilty for ignoring my parents lately, so I invited them to a fall festival today. But I confess I really don't want to go with them.

Related confession. Sometimes I find my mother incredibly embarrassing in public. I take her places anyway, but she is such an odd lady.

[lilacwine13]

I have done very little at work today and it's making me feel guilty.

Does this mean I'm going to go up to my boss and ask if there's anything to do? Nope. I feel guilty, but at the same time, I've managed to fool everyone into thinking I'm working my butt off, and knowing him, he won't think of anything for me to do either.

[yuefie]

The most important thing to me in a potential mate is that they will make an extrordinary father, whether or not we actually have kids together. I gauge this by watching how they are with their loved ones and pets. If I don't see enough tenderness, care, concern and compassion or if I see selfishness I'm out. Looks, material wealth, social status, I could care less about. I admit that they need to be smart, though not necessarily book smart, just have some emotional intelligence and quick wit. But they could be 5'1 and have two heads, if they would make a great dad and have a huge heart, I'm game.

[culturehandy]

I've become a crazy aggressive driver.

I've pierced my genitals but I won't pierce my tongue or anything on my face, I find this very odd.

[zoya]

I am secretly pleased that I have been a bitch to some people at work lately. I've probably not really been a bitch, but for me, it feels like I'm being a bitch. I usually try to be nice and 'work through' conflict, because I tend to shy away from it. But lately, I am not putting up with shit. I'm too tired to, and I'm also sick of people below me not treating me like thier superior (which I am), and I'm not letting them off the hook. So there.

I am still holding out for SB to contact me again. Doesn't mean I'm not down for meeting other guys, just sayin. And I miss him.

[culturehandy]

I fucking hate my job. It's beyind healthy how much I abhor it at this office. I think this entire department is a goddamn joke.

I also think that I need to scurry off the virtual fight club thread now.
