but if we can't write about our realtionships out here in this vast internet-world, what ARE we supposed to write about?
it's weird.
i have 2 online journals...
one where no one knows me, and one where even my brother and sister are subscribed to.
yes, i guess i lead two different lives.
and maybe that's why i don't use last names...
now this is my third one where i'm also gonna try to remain as anonymous as possible.
as for advice....
what can i say?
sh*t happens.

Thanks, doll. :) The stupidity will weaken as the days progress, I'm sure, but it's not even the rejection that bothers me so much as the way I was and am simply ignored. Common courtesy would demand otherwise, but then, if he'd have been sweet about it, I'd probably feel worse. Thanks, though, you're sweet. :)

Oh the joy of being in a relationship. Especially in those early stages where you're still learning about the other person. I'd suggest giving it some time before you decide to call it quits. The good news is that she isn't ditching you to hang out with the football team or her "just friends" male co-worker. Maybe she is feeling unsure about the relationship too and is scared of going too fast? If it keeps up, sit down and have a talk with her. Not an accusatory talk, just a chat to make sure you're both on the same page. Good luck with everything!

Haha! That's not what I was saying at all.

I'm already scared to see where it (doesn't) lead. =/

Good for you! She doesn't deserve your affections and you've been more than patient with her. Who needs people like that in their life? once a liar, always a liar and it's best to avoid such people. I hope you heal quickly from this betrayal. Kara

Good for you! You've needed to blow her off for a long time now. I totally feel like I'm talking to a girl here, but if she couldn't see that you were a good thing the first time around, why try to force it? You'd always end up wondering if she was truly into you. So she's dating Jonathan now. It's her loss. Sounds like they deserve each other. They're both pretty sly and deceitful. It's time for you to move onto greener pastures... or at least less stressful ones!

Yes, that's it - it's because my name is Rachel and we all know all Rachel's are evil. Add to that the fact that we all wake up every morning and think, "what can I do to make Sam's life miserable?" and you're doomed, buddy.

I hear what you're saying, but it's sometimes difficult to find praise choruses that have any meaning... that are God-centered and not man-centered... simply meaning, that are about worshiping God and not get my emotions all stirred up. You're right, worship is not something to be entered into lightly (or while thinking about a girl, class, etc), but repetitive praise choruses allow my mind to wander. The words to hymns aren't bothersome by any means. Here: http://www.ruf.org/sounds/worship1_a.htm

Hey, it's not easy being the girl, either. So many times I wish I could act - and then impatiently, I do - and wind up finding out he resented that I pursued him. So now I'm struggling through this "letting him be the man" thing whenever I think I might like someone... and it's just not fun! *L*

Adding to our likes or dislikes is adding an additional layer to who we are. The reasons may not be sound but if you learn to genuinely enjoy brussel sprouts (blegh) than you have gained something. To do so simply for the sake of "being cool" is a poor motivation but I do think we can actively decide to change elements of our lives.

Hey. I just stumbled over your journal and liked the entry about liking "bad" music and food, etc. Then I went back one and I was completely sucked in to the story of Franny.

Good on you for sticking to principles! But there's a line in your latest entry that is driving my crazy: "There's always a feeling of hurt and rejection when someone says they prefer the company of others to your exclusive company." Is that from a movie or a song? It sounds so familiar and you put it in quotes so it must be from somewhere. Please, help me out here! Cheers and take care. K

That just floors me. Where's the Christian spirit? And, when did being Christian come to mean strictly that you had to be anti-choice, anti-science, and pro guns and death penalty? What ever happened to "what you do for the least among you, you do for me?" What happened to the Christian spirit? They are coming across so harsh.

Confidence in ones self always trumps everything else in the relationship department. I'm sure you can guess that I don't mean superficial arrogance, which is a total turn-off, but rather, the sense of knowing yourself and being somewhat satisfied with who you are. That's what radiates and makes one person attractive to another. But, you know that. And, of course, making others feel that you think they are important is a very big turn on.

I know, I know. The other one I get asked all the time is if it's a reference to my breast size. Sheesh! What's funny is, at school if you say, "D&D" people automatically think Dance and Drama.

My parents decided about 2 years ago to get rid of their real phone and just use their cell phones. They said it just didn't make sense for them to have a regular phone line anymore, which might be true, if it weren't for the fact that their cell phones have been cut off several times because they didn't pay the bill.

I read in one of your entries about this OLD thirty year old-ummm, I am turning thirty very soon and I still feel sixteen if that makes any difference to you? Anyway, I came across your diary and it's really nice. You put a smile on my face, it was as if I had come "home". Am I making any sense?

Thanks for the kind words. You know they do make a difference. I just feel over loaded with all the emotions going haywire at the same time.

Maybe the military vote was not counted, but also the votes from Jewish American citizens living in Israel were not counted either. Jewish people tend to vote Democratic, which were not counted. And, the military, which is majority young, poor, minority males, who also tend to vote Democratic, was not counted. All the Supreme Court had to do was let the official count be carried out to the end. They chose not to do that and will carry the black eye forever. That count was a 1,000 times more important than any "man" who ultimately won the office.

Civil? I don't remember crossing paths, swords, or words with you, but that may be a trick of the layout change. I tend to remember layouts more than names unless someone is on my buddy list.

Hello! Saw your comments at good-lace's, and thought I'd come over. Please don't mind me while I poke around. I should tell you up front that I'm definitely a Bush-whacker, but I'll also say that he is the first president to inspire that kind of anger in me. I've disagreed with every president before on SOMEthing or other--didn't vote for Clinton either time and used to be a Republican--but I have also always been able to find some policies to agree with as well. With Bush, that just hasn't happened. I find him to be that extreme. The country is polarized as it has never been before, as well, so I'm probably not alone. I've come across very few people who are lukewarm on the guy--it's either love or hate. Anyway, I ramble. Looking forward to raising your hit count. ;-)
|
| from
good-lace : |
|
I can't speak for anyone else, but my own passion in despising Bush is because his party actually stole the election from the jump. That is indisputible at this point. No matter who I vote for, I always expect to be able to support the person in office. This administration has not allowed that. In fact, for the first time in history, people are labeled unpatriotic for disagreeing with the executive office. For that, I'm very angry. No one has the right to destroy the American way of politics.

Great new layout, Sam! And yes, I am still updating. I have not one, not two, but three entries in my private folder that I'm tweaking that will be unlocked in the next day or two.

Glad to know you're feel better about the Franny situation. Someone will come along before you know it. When she does come along, if this girl has a sister, send her my way.

I don't think what you said was racist at all. Just because you're not particularly attracted to a certain group of people doesn't make you intolerant or anything. I agree with what Lace had to say: you really do notice things when you don't look at them with a familiar mindset.

"...those are the only diaries on my list that update regularly anymore. And rest assured, I hate the rest of you for it." Okay, okay! First, the description next to my name in your buddy list has said that you're mad at me for quite some time, but now you hate me. So, in order to restore your faith in me (and my faith in myself), I'm going to start updating. And this time, I mean it. (That makes me sound like an alcoholic that's sworn off booze for about a day and a half, doesn't it?) But you're not my only chastiser; I've been receiving verbal lashings in my email for a while now. To let you and the others know that you've been heard, the updates are coming. Once I get a good flow going, you won't be able to get mad at me for not updating anymore. Instead, you can get mad at me because my updates suck. I liked your diary plugs, by the way. Those really are great diaries. And yours is great, too.

Thanks for the comment that you left in my diary entry. I'm really happy to be in school now; too many friends of mine are extremely talented, but don't seem to realize that going to college is an excellent way to hone those talents and discover more about themselves then they will in any other setting. (I hope that doesn't sound too idealistic; I know there are exceptions, but I feel this is true for most people.) My best friend is hating his life because he's squandering his talents, which is what I was doing. I've wasted a lot of time being stagnant and I'm having a hard time getting into that creative groove I used to be in, but I know that I'm in the right place now and that I'll find my niche again. Hmmm. This note is unnecessarily long. I think I just wanted to use the word "niche". And to say thanks, of course.

yeah i think i did go a little far: i was loosely using "level." i just meant that i feel it is, technically, a better school. and yes, a lot of it depends on the major. i would never dare argue that the computer science or engineering programs are as good as the ones at ncsu, because they're not. fortunately, my major is english so my classes don't get past 30 people and usually not past 20. the prerequisites (BIO ELEVEN, I HATE YOU) are another story completely: 3-400 people. it's crazy. i really wasn't trying to be insulting but i just had one too many people tell me they're in "college too."

Hey -- If it makes you happy, I remember when Wonderwall first came out. I also remember 'Self-Esteem', because it was an Offspring song before they went all surfer punk. And 'Basketcase'...yeeess. I really and vividly remember when that first came out. That was followed by a long Green Day obsession for me. I have an older cousin your age, so maybe that is why. You and her would really get along, musically speaking. So there! I am younger than the musical illiterate college chicks you are talking to and even I know this stuff!!! But 'Wonderwall'??

There are several condiments and other toppings I deem "of the devil", so I always request that they be kept far away from my food, yet more often than not, no one takes my request seriously. Once, after spending an hour or so scraping together enough money for Burger King sustenance with my friend Martin (we checked beneath sofa cushions and under car seats) on a rainy day, my joy at finally receiving my Whopper was killed by the presence of pickles and mayo. We were inside Martin's car in the Burger King parking lot, so I opened my door and proceeded to scrape the evil away from my burger. Just as I was getting the last bit of mayo of my burger, the patty slipped and fell into a puddle. I was burgerless. And Martin, laughing hysterically, was a true friend and refused to split his Whopper with me. He ate the whole thing right in front of me. It was one of the few times I actually considered taking another human life. True story.

The quote "I love the smell of napalm in the morning" was in Apocalypse Now, which I finally watched recently. I don't remember that quote being in Full Metal Jacket, but I haven't seen that one in a really long time. Maybe Stanley was giving Francis a wink with that one. I'll have to watch those again. I might get around to watching Platoon, too, so that no one will have to force me to watch it like they did with the films mentioned earlier in this note that as of yet serves no purpose. However, unlike Black Hawk Down, which made me want to vomit, I enjoyed those movies. Black Hawk Down made Robocop look like Bambi. Anyway, I just wanted to write about that thing you mentioned about buying boxers because you didn't want to do laundry. I've done that. Feel free to be ashamed of me.

Because Christianity has the endlessly appalling gall to consider itself the One True Way and anyone who thinks differently is going to hell and the religion makes a point of evangelizing and trying to convert, and attempts to change the laws of the nation to fit its narrow doctrines of behavior and sex and marriage and belief, and how dangerous and easy to hand your power over to some vague deity, blind faith just way too easy and wimpy in how it absolves you from taking personal responsibility and while there are plenty of Good Upstanding Christians who don't wish to shove their beliefs down anyone's throat, far too many do, and far too many misunderstand its true pagan history anyway, and restricting yourself to one generally misogynistic patriarchal religious belief is akin to restricting yourself to one type of car or one sub-genre of music or one boring sexual position or one brand of scratchy underwear for the rest of your life.

Here's your interview & rules:
Here's are the rules you need to include in your diary:
1 -- Leave a comment if you want to be interviewed.
2 -- I will respond; I'll ask you five questions.
3 -- You'll update your diary with my five questions, and your five answers.
4 -- You'll include this explanation.
5 -- You'll ask other people five questions when they want to be interviewed.
Here are my five questions to you:
1) If you could live inside a book which book would you choose and why?
2) If your life had a sountrack what song would it be?
3) If you could punch someone in the face without suffering any repercusions, who would you punch? (C'mon you know you want to!)
4) If you could have free plastic surgery what part(s) of your body would you have changed? Why?
5) What scares you the most?

About purchasing CDs, you're one smart dude. I agree with your observations 100%. Another aspect you didn't cover, they actually cater to teenagers, who usually don't have their own money, then keep raising the price of the CDs, or putting out double CDs for a band that has one hit song, just so they can charge almost $30.00. The law firm I work for is representing an up and coming band, and I was shocked to learn that the music distribution company won't allow the band to advertise their own music without company permission. Also, the band has to purchase their own CDs to have copies available for sale at their concerts. The price is discounted, but still that doesn't make any sense. The band has to pay to help sell their CDs? Dumb.

What you need to do is get a satellite hook-up and tune into MUCH MUSIC. Here in Canada, we don’t take our celebrities seriously and we actually play videos. Still, I’m a firm believer in throwing the television out the window. I think everyone’s becoming nauseous at Hollywood’s obsession with glorifying drug addicts and kiddie fiddlers.

being called cute is not necessarily a bad thing and you're right, it avoids the lustful tone that "hot" implies. but it also implies those warm and fuzzy feelings you have towards a family pet. but i'm not complaining. any comment not including "disgusting" or "kind of like a frog" makes my day. by the way, i love the quotation at the end of your diary today about capital punishment. i'm studying english and history right now to probably be a teacher... are you indicating it's NOT a fun profession? :)

Hey, read your 6/15 entry and I had a comment: Hope you don't think I'm one of those people who views any one who says anything remotely Christian as one who foists their beliefs on others. I attack the religious right because I view their actions as the antithesis of morality and Christianity- and you know I consider myself a Christian, but I believe God means many things to many people and individual relationships with God shouldn't be influenced by anyone other than who you allow to. Let's face it- Jerry Falwell's done more to undermine his own cause than any "pagan, abortionist, or homosexual" could have ever done. But yeah, otherwise, keep on rockin' the free world.

I think "getting old" means different things to different people. For instance, my next door neighbors appear to be in their early 50's and act and dress like they're 80. My brother in law is 65 and he can jump, jive and boogie with the best of them. My boss is 85 and still plays tennis twice a week and goes to aerobics 3 mornings a week, with no pains and no illnesses, and is very clear minded. Age is just number that plays out differently for everyone. I want to die before I get old too, but I don't know where that number is, yet.

Man, Sam did you find another person to fight the abortion issue with? Shoot, I might just get jealous :-) Oh, and about the Bushies helping the bin Ladin's get out of this country, it's absolutely true. In fact, they even stopped off in Boston to pick up a couple of bin Ladin kids that are students at Harvard. They claimed it was to "keep them safe." The Shrubs have a very long history of doing business with the bin Ladin family. That's no secret. The only secret is to what extent.

Uh, hello? Nothing to do with controling another person's body. Talk about wrong statements, and as far as your argument regarding pain receptors, maybe then you should just quit living since by breathing and eating (this goes for vegans too) you are killing a LOT of other creatures with pain receptors. You also make that statement I hear over and again from anti-abortionists, which is claiming that they are not wanting to illegalize abortion -- roll your eyes here ;) But if that is not what they are lobbying and bomb-lobbing over, then what is it? A big sign that says "ABORTION BAD"? I don't think so. AND about Osama, that's not bullshit, that came from The Washington Post the first time I checked on it -- and that was a month after 9/11 when I DID find it impossible to believe that Bush would allow such a thing, let alone help the Bin Ladens scoot out of here while all other flights were grounded. And finally, it all boils down to a core issue, the availability of legal and safe abortion: If the government or any other entity besides the woman considering is "allowed" to tell her whether or not to, all other rights are moot -- because your body is the most basic physical unit of one's existence. You might as well push back women's status to before they had a vote, because that's exactly what they will be: second class citizen at best, property at worst.

Thanks for trying to be civil, which is so rare among so-called pro-lifers. My response then is this: the reason I mentioned so-called partial birth abortion in the same breath as abortion is because it, too, is trying to criminalize a medical procedure which can determine the life, death, and/or future course of a woman's life. How would you like it if Pat Robertson turned around tomorrow and decided to fund a mass movement among his minions to criminalize masturbation among males -- you're killing potential life after all, what with all those spermatozoa you're killing off...you may find that offensive too, but I find it even more offensive and invasive of my individual and human rights when anyone else, be it man or woman, tries to regulate my body -- the intrinsic message in that is that all of you so-called good Christians have such a negative view of the ability of women to think for themselves that hordes of us will be using abortion as contraception just because it's legal. That is a pretty low view of half the people on earth. Oh, and about Osama -- maybe it's also easier to hide because Mr. Bush helped his family hide him -- flying his rich family out of Texas while he was using the nations's trauma to further his own ends. Maybe Bush Senior can also tell us if all that Saudi money he's been receiving for "consulting" had any effect on Osama being so gosh-darn hard to be found! Well, later Bob, and I do like that song you got going ;)

I'm a little disappointed, though, that "Falling Angels 3: Paratrooper Vixens" isn't a hit. "Falling Angels 1: Is That A Rip Cord Or Are You Just Pleased To See Me?" and "Falling Angels 2: Holy Chute!" did so well in the video rental market. I guess that's what you get when you sacrifice character development and storyline for fancy special effects. Or maybe the whole "naked girls jump out of a plane" thing has just been done to death by then? Btw, your new layout is cool. And I miss you.

About poking fun at Christina Aguilera, I was playing devil's advocate. I found it ironic that it's okay to make fun of thin people, but not fat. I also found it ironic that people who are overweight and unhappy about society's view of them rag on her, when she sings a song like "Beautiful," which is all about being comfortable with who you are, regardless of what society says. I'm not really a fan of hers, but the whole thing was such a double standard, I had to say something. Frankly, I don't think Disco owes anyone an apology for anything.

Hi, I randomly read parts of your diary and my heart really goes out to you about how sad you feel and how you said you'd give anything for a kiss, etc. It really made me feel sad. I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for and she'll exceed your every expectation. You seem like a nice guy and I don't think God lets the nice guys go without ladies too long. I don't know if you like cats, but if you do and don't have one maybe you can get one. When I feel sad my cat knows and he sits on me and kneads into my fat rolls. If you get a cat, I think the boy cats are nicer than the girl cats. Oh, look at me, I've rambled...sorry. Good luck!

Please stop saying you'll die alone. You must know that you project your feelings about yourself to others. If you don't like yourself, how can you expect others to like you? Do yourself a favor and try to focus on your positive traits for awhile. Forget the externals, that's neither here nor there. Are you smart, a good conversationalist, kind, honest, caring, giving, dependable, loving, affectionate? Do you enjoy movies, music, walks in the park, sharing a meal? See? Those are the things that make an enjoyable and lovable life partner.

Okay, let's get one thing straight, one feature will not turn off the opposite sex. Take me for instance, I adore long hair on men, but that didn't stop me from falling in love with a guy who would never grow his hair. It's all about attitude, sweets. Don't you see that? Fat, boney, tall, short, black, brown, white, buck-toothed, too old, too young, gimpy, should I continue? They all find love. It's all about the attitude, and being open and not judgmental, so that you can allow situations to develop. From knowing you all these years, and reading your diary from the beginning, I'd say your problem is that you have unattainable, or very limited tastes when it comes to women you are attracted to, too. *phew*

I don't think you're a jerk for caring. I think that it's perfectly understandable.

Now, this is a bit eerie: I heard some actor use bling just the other day (I can't remember which one), and it sounded so "normal", and not at all catchy. He said "man, I'm not into bling at all." And, I also thought that word must be so o-u-t when it becomes so "normal". Think about this one, the word "cool" was first used by the flower children in the 60's, and it's still in normal use today.

Just one question - if it's the simple matter of taking out a country that has weapons of mass destruction, then why don't we make war on all of the countries with weapons of mass destruction? i.e. India, Russia, Pakistan, China, North Korea, Israel? Don't you think it's about more than that, in Bush's mind? Did you know he honestly thinks he's some kind of Divine messenger? The dude is scary, to say the least. Also, the protesters here were almost all college professors, college students and religious representatives. Not exactly your "run of the mill" dummies. I love the protest sign that says "What if God blesses Iraq?" Now that's fodder for thought.

Oh, man. As I was reading your entry, I just realized that none of your college courses were geared toward education. In Louisiana, you can't "just" go into a classroom and teach. It doesn't matter if you have a Ph.D., you still have to take specific education courses, then you have to have a certain amount of hours logged in a classroom with another teacher, then you get your own class. I didn't realize they were going to throw you in a classroom cold turkey. That's kind of cruel, actually. Isn't there another English teacher you could talk to?

No job yet, but the company is in the mist of an audit, so it make take awhile for them to call him back one way or the other. The CPA guy told us he'll feel them out on Thursday. I'll make sure to let you know. Oh, about that melancholy, as I was reading it I thought it was "her" even before I got to your summation. "She" is just the natural progress of your life right now. We need to share our lives, good and bad.

Your entry made me think about how age defines people. I was thinking that I know a few teenagers who are really cool to talk to, but on the other hand, my brother-in-law (who was a lot older than my sister) is 65 yrs. old, and I've seen him, many times, hold whole audiences captivated by his intelligence, wit and charm. I guess it helps that he has an IQ of about 170, he jogs 50 miles a week, and could have been a stand-up comic, and smokes a lot of loco-weed. I guess my point is, there's no reason to be a boring old person...you can always be "who" you want to be, regardless of age.

Hmmm I'm one of the females that stumbled into the bathroom for a middle of the night run, and my butt fell in the icy bowl - more than once...grrr Seat and lid down - it looks nicer :-)

I see your point about the toilet seat. Although for awhile, I lived in an apartment with all females, so when the wayward boyfriend or male guest came over and left the seat up, one of us would occasionally fall in. When I moved into a co-ed house, we compromised by agreeing that whenever anyone was done with the toilet, they'd put not only the seat down, but the cover too. So no matter who you were, you had to lift something. Besides, lets be honest. Sometimes guys get messy and dribble on the side of the bowl. If the seat's down, I don't have to see it and get all grossed out.

How could you EVER consider yourself "stupid" when you're in the process of doing something that you've never done before? Give yourself a break. Just take things step by step, and remember that you're learning a whole new life subject. Everyone goes through this learning process, unless they're some little princess/prince with daddy waiting on them with a job. Be nice....to yourself.

Okay, about the series of 3 thing, I guess I didn't mention that good things happen to me in a series of 3, also. Coincidence? Probably. What else could it be? *insert spooky music* I sat in the tub and whimpered long enough for the shower to turn cold, and beat the conditioner out of my hair, but it was incentive enough to finally bite the bullet and stand up :-(

Yeah, I guess you're right- I'm not criticizing the Republicans in the Senate or the House- mainly, I'm taking swings at the ones who are (thankfully not in office)claiming that this is one step closer to the end of America, and that liberal Democrats should be blamed for it. Generally, if you're in office, you're more moderate than the constituents who voted you in. Sorry for the ambiguity, but thanks for reading!

Yes, church politics stink very much. It's probably the number one reason why people stop going to church. It blows me away that they would recruit a drummer with no guitar experience. But oh well, that's just life and that evidentally isn't part of my destiny.

You should really move to Santa Cruz. I'll have you know what many of the girls I surveyed saw the picture I stole of you and said, "Wow, who's he? He's hot!" Believe it or not, that "redneck" look of yours really goes over well in this hippie town. So catch a plane.

You misunderstand me. The messages I'm getting are from malicious über-Christians who are out to make my life miserable. Those are the messages I delete. Dissenters can have all the fun they want. I don't feel the need to answer back to them, though. I've tried that, and it's just not worth it. That is all.

Others may crucify me for saying this, but I was really unimpressed with the way Counting Crows play live. Adam just sort of talks through the lyrics, totally off kilter with the music... and I guess some people would say that was improvisational and really deep... but I just found it annoying. Fuel, on the other hand, was good... although I don't remember too much about it because halfway through the set, I became dehydrated and hallucinated till I passed out. From what I did see before my vision went white, they were great, if not a little pretentious.

You should just tell your Dad about the ticket. Either way, you're going to have to get that proof of insurance, or risk getting cited again. That would REALLY make you look irresponsible. Or, tell him that the cop pulled you over but only gave you a warning. Thus, you can precure the needed proof of insurance, save your fifty bucks, and only be partly decietful.

Hi! Thanks for posted at The Best of Diaryland. I went in and fixed your link so it shows up. It just seems that you left out a quotation mark, and that's why it didn't show up.

I think when I posted that first message people got the idea that leaving a message in my guestbook was the only way I wanted anyone to contact me. What I meant was that if you want to sign my guestbook you can, but I'd love to get notes too. Just leave whatever little comments you'd like and I'll reply. The guestbook is if you want to leave something more permanent that won't be replied to. Did I mention that I like cheese?
