The only new crushes I get are four legged and they just want me for my ability to open pet food containers.

yeah i have a thirteen-year love affair going like that but he only wants to sleep on my face at night and then stand on my chest and yell in the morning.

Miss Misery xox (MissMiseryTX), Monday, 10 April 2006 17:22 (eighteen years ago) link

Not four-legged, then.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 10 April 2006 17:24 (eighteen years ago) link

Wow, Sam, that's exactly what our 16 year old cat does to my gf.

M. White (Miguelito), Monday, 10 April 2006 17:25 (eighteen years ago) link

Sam if it makes you feel any better I probably have a crush on you.

martin m. (mushrush), Monday, 10 April 2006 17:27 (eighteen years ago) link

No, they really don't, and you know, I wish people would stop saying that. I'm just a girl like the rest of y'all.

luna see post above. ;)

So we're talking about crushes, eh? Silly little things, escapist fare. To me, anyway. I've completely given up on crushes, though mild flirtations are still in the picture. Speaking of, I have managed to go beyond a brief flirtatious period with this one boy and am actually beginning to nurture a good friendship with him!! This is the first friendship I've had with a heterosexual male in my life. Sad but true. I have no expectations of this friendship actually leading anywhere (boys don't like girls like me, at least in that way), but I'm more than happy to just have this friendship going in the first place.

Normally at this time I'd be sitting down to eat dinner, but I've just now put some chicken thighs to roast in the oven to eat along with some brown rice and a salad, so I've got some time to kill on the computer. Ta-da.

'ola Dee! Glad to hear of new friendships in your life though I wanna smack you for your subtle self-put-downs. ;)

luna, I hope did not offend thee.

Miss Misery xox (MissMiseryTX), Monday, 10 April 2006 22:58 (eighteen years ago) link

Working from hom is the toughest thing in the world on days when you're feeling a bit lazy or distracted by other stuff.

I am seriously considering banging on me drum all day, because I totally don't wanna work.

martin m. (mushrush), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 15:56 (eighteen years ago) link

Please tell me that's not a euphemism.

M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 16:08 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh, you love it.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 16:08 (eighteen years ago) link

there's no way i could work from home. i'm very undiscplined.

Miss Misery xox (MissMiseryTX), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 16:09 (eighteen years ago) link

I know it's not the same, but working at home is not really helping my thesis get written... I've spent all day today either working sudoku puzzles or reading about other people's old house renovations.

sgs (sgs), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 16:11 (eighteen years ago) link

Miss Misery xox (MissMiseryTX), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 16:14 (eighteen years ago) link

nice tiling! Also like the color in your bedroom.

sgs (sgs), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 16:28 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, Sam, it looks great.

M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 16:29 (eighteen years ago) link

thanks. man painting the bedroom sucked. never paint red!!

Miss Misery xox (MissMiseryTX), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 17:05 (eighteen years ago) link

Please tell me that's not a euphemism.

Of course it'a a "euphemism" for one of my "hobbies." It's also a not-very-obtuse "song reference."

Heh heh. Ahem.

there's no way i could work from home. i'm very undiscplined.

Well, I have been working from home off and on for about 6 years now, though this time around is the first in 1 or 2. I've never felt very disciplined, but apparently I am well enough to keep this job! I think I have a tendency to only work in two modes... Really really efficient and really really lazy. In the end they balance each other out. The only trick is forcing myself to be one of them on days where the other isn't warranted or possible.

martin m. (mushrush), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 17:08 (eighteen years ago) link

No Sam, 'course not.

luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 22:47 (eighteen years ago) link

And I have to admit, I'd rather have stayed home banging on the drum today, too.

That is my new favorite euphemism.

"What are you doing tonight?"

"Oh, gonna go home and kick back, bang on the drum, you know..."

"Oh, you play the drums?"

"Nope."

luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 22:54 (eighteen years ago) link

So, for the record, it's almost 5:00 here now, and in fact I did not work much at all.

martin m. (mushrush), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 22:54 (eighteen years ago) link

Me either. We win!

luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 23:06 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm feeling down today for no reason I can pinpoint. I haven't had any blue moods in weeks and weeks. I also had fallen off taking my anti-depressants regularly and have just now restarted. a coincidence?

Miss Misery xox (MissMiseryTX), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 23:33 (eighteen years ago) link

'ola Dee! Glad to hear of new friendships in your life though I wanna smack you for your subtle self-put-downs. ;)

Hola seƱorita! I'm glad to hear about your new house! It looks cute! And hon, I'm not putting myself down. I'm just stating a truth that I have become peaceful with over the past few months. I am never going to be the type of female that a male could want to have as a companion. Hell, if it took this long to get a hetero male as a friend, you know? So I'm at peace with this now.

Sorry to hear about your depressiveness. Could it be the increasing temperatures? The stress involved in remodeling this house? A combination of both?

See Me, Repeat Me (Dee the Lurker), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 01:36 (eighteen years ago) link

Just because it has always been that way doesn't mean it will always be that way. You're pretty great, Dee.

luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 03:31 (eighteen years ago) link

Also, Sam, I really like how your house is coming along. I won't be able to afford my own probably EVER, so I'm vicariously living through you.

I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling great - maybe it IS the anti-depressants?

luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 03:36 (eighteen years ago) link

Somebody called me by accident this morning when I had just gotten up, and it was a happy accident!

martin m. (mushrush), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 16:47 (eighteen years ago) link

happy for you or happy for them?

Huk-L (Huk-L), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 16:48 (eighteen years ago) link

last night I completely junked all the songs in my mp3 player and uploaded a bunch of stuff I liked when I was younger but haven't listened to in a long time. A lot of heavier stuff. Though not, like heavy by anybody's standard but mine. I feel totally badass.

Huk-L (Huk-L), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 16:58 (eighteen years ago) link

Although all of the things dee mentioned could make me feel less than peachy I really do think it was the meds. surely starting to take them as prescribed again after weeks of spotiness would do something to my moods. Also caffiene which I had stopped for months and have been hitting hard these past few days. argh.

so sick of working on the house. i am a bum.

speaking of mp3 players my damn ipod's acting up. the clickwheel thing's not turning. boo. :(

oh, and my cat is afraid of our new refridgerator. the ice maker scares the shit out of him and he won't venture through the kitchen unless he is carried. pussy.

Miss Misery xox (MissMiseryTX), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 17:01 (eighteen years ago) link

Caffiene is soooo powerfully related to mood it's unbelievable. It took me a long time to come to terms with it, because I simply adore coffee, but if I'm not careful I can toss myself into semi-depression after only a day of drinking too much coffee. Part of it's that I just don't sleep well if I've had too much that day, but I'm sure there's more to it than that, because if I stay up without the aid of caffiene the result is nowhere near as damaging.

The last few days I've been feeling great mostly because I haven't been drinking any coffee after my couple cups in the morning.

It still makes me sad I can't just abuse coffee the way I used to and get away with it. I mean, y'all have seen my tattoo, right? Grrr.

martin m. (mushrush), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 17:06 (eighteen years ago) link

happy for you or happy for them?

Well, it was happy for me. I just assumed it was happy for both of us.

martin m. (mushrush), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 17:09 (eighteen years ago) link

I think if it was happy for you, it was probably happy for them, too. Unless you were happy because you were crushing someone's soul, in which case, well, too bad for them.

(This is evidence that I haven't had any caffeine at all today, and will rectify that immediately with girl coffee).

luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 17:25 (eighteen years ago) link

girl coffee? is this some special feminizied brew?

Miss Misery xox (MissMiseryTX), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 17:28 (eighteen years ago) link

Um, did I crush your soul this morning when you accidentally called me, Luna? Because I'm really sorry if I did, but before coffee and before I'm even out of bed sometimes I am a little grouchy and soul-crushy. I'll admit it.

martin m. (mushrush), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 17:29 (eighteen years ago) link

No, it's just that I rarely drink coffee by itself (because I am a weenie) - it's got to be a Mocha Latte or something. My friend Joe calls drinks like that girl coffee because "real men don't need anything in coffee but black."

luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 17:30 (eighteen years ago) link

Nope, soul remains intact! Now if only I could learn to read before 9 am...

luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 17:31 (eighteen years ago) link

My friend Joe calls drinks like that girl coffee because "real men don't need anything in coffee but black."

Ha! I don't even drink coffee, only double espressos. Still no hair on my chest, though.

M. White (Miguelito), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 17:35 (eighteen years ago) link

isn't espresso way stronger than regular coffe?

Miss Misery xox (MissMiseryTX), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 17:37 (eighteen years ago) link

Ah, coffee. A fine thing. Hello all.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 17:38 (eighteen years ago) link

Stronger in taste but so much smaller in volume than most people's caffeine delivery systems that it's not that bad.

M. White (Miguelito), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 17:40 (eighteen years ago) link

Hm, is that why there's so much hair on my chest? Maybe I should stop with the espresso.

martin m. (mushrush), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 18:32 (eighteen years ago) link

i miss vancouver (italian) coffee.

Huk-L (Huk-L), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 18:33 (eighteen years ago) link

I miss Rhode Island coffee milk.

luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 18:36 (eighteen years ago) link

I am working from bed today.

In fact the only reason I got out of bed and showered just now is cause a friend called and wanted to go out and get lunch with me, but once I get back home after lunch I'm breaking out another pair of pajamas* and going back to work.


* Yes, since I work from home I do have a set of pajamas for every day of the week.

martin m. (mushrush), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 18:45 (eighteen years ago) link

I would gladly have pjs for every day of the week if I culd work from home. Now if I could only convince my bosses.

luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 18:57 (eighteen years ago) link

maybe start by wearing pjs to work

Huk-L (Huk-L), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 18:58 (eighteen years ago) link

Well, see, the problem with that is that I'd still like to have a job. Unless I win the lottery or something.

luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 19:15 (eighteen years ago) link

i just went out for a smoke and the cute girl was there and she talked to me, and she kept calling me by my name, she said my name like 3 or 4 times in the course of a 5 minute conversation...i don't know her name!
at least she's not going to give me a root canal!
