| Before you go down that path you should be warned that, sure, the penis is gross, but vaginas aren't exactly all fun and games. |
| from parlance : |
| Ah well, thanks for the compliment regardless. :) |
| from argolam : |
| There's a fine line between clever and loser. And I'm treading dangerously close. |
| from kalel592002 : |
| Hi Em - I will grant you access to my Diary as soon as I get a chance, my apologies. I've been locked because of a disagreement with a fellow DLander who feels she has / had to criticize my every action and thought, although her own life is far from perfect. |
| from wonderchai : |
| thank you for the birthday wishes :D |
| from laquerida : |
| Sorry! I have been busy and whenever I try and update i can't get on. I get pissed easily. :) Here is the last week though, more or less. |
| from misstress : |
| I've missed your entries. I was just about to write to ask if everything was ok. Glad it's just because you're busy. |
| from laquerida : |
| You are a rock star. I wish I could internalize those comments and really feel them. The reason the photo is unavailable is because I am no longer a gold member. I don't have the moolah right now to indulge in such things. As far as those five pounds -- it has translated to an extra inch on my thighs and 1.5 on my waist. It is noticable on someone as short as I am. But I keep teloling myself what you said -- I can lose it again lickety split. I think the key will be greater stringency with alcohol. |
| from laquerida : |
| You are SO CUTE!! I pictured you with longer hair and a more conservative look to you. |
| from laquerida : |
| YAY! I'm thrilled! He meets the cats' approval (and likes them!) and is a good conversationalist! Most excellent! |
| from laquerida : |
| When you are ready. Be patient. And more importantly, have faith. |
| from s-u-s-u : |
| Hi, I just found your diary and wanted to say I really liked it. I'm going to keep reading. Take care. |
| from misstress : |
| Strange dream. The funny part is, when you said "(And Elizabeth...etc)" I wondered who you meant. I think I need sleep. |
| from laquerida : |
| a good date?!?!? Maybe there is hope for finding a decent man in Ohio! |
| from laquerida : |
| lovely. I look forward to hearing from you! |
| from laquerida : |
| I'm all about Costa Rica, Baby! Democratic, 2 oceans, volcanos and beaches and mountains and rainforstes, no militia, mandatory free education, tropical climates, dark handsome men.... |
| from laquerida : |
| OooOoO! I'd love to see them! |
| from laquerida : |
| Once again, US police forces demonstrate that brute force and ignorance is the proper way to handle all situations. I am again tempted to leave the country. |
| from krichelle : |
| you're incredibly non-bitchy! I would have sent the first version.. then regretted it, and stayed up for a week or so on the off chance he found out where I lived and came to egg my place... |
| from boxer-briefs : |
| I forgot about Bird-by-Bird, until you mentioned it. It's been years since I read that book, which means it's about time I read it again. Good luck with your writing... and your dating. |
| from laquerida : |
| No way! HA! Seriously?? You think I *COULD* make something like that up??? Oh, that's a riot! Thanks for the morning laugh, girlfriend! There are still many men out here if you are interested! |
| from misstress : |
| Ha! I think you should send the first one. |
| from greeneriffic : |
| Stumbled upon your diary, and I've gotta say, one of the most intelligently-written and honest I've come across in a while... :) thanks for a few laughs in the form of a tire changing story ;) |
| from laquerida : |
| If you think you can't, you're right. If you think you can, you are more than halfway there. |
| from justcircles : |
| I don't even know why I'm giving you my suggestions (except for that you asked) because I'm sure you already know what I would say: fuhgeddaboudit. He is so frustrating that it's frustrating to read about him (in a sense). And these cycles would NEVER STOP. He's too goddamm old to ever really act differently. What would you have to do to get him? Ignore yourself, that's what. And Emily: it's NOT WORTH IT! and I'm not just talking like this cause I'm in L-word :) Date younger men: they're more spirited. |
| from laquerida : |
| Cake is evil. Yummy, but evil. |
| from laquerida : |
| Hmm, he ALMOST makes me feel like a natural woman. ;) Maybe it's just a matter of time... |
| from misstress : |
| I know what you mean. I fell asleep at 7 pm last night, woke up at midnight, drank a glass of juice and went back to bed until 7 am. And I'm still tired. |
| from laquerida : |
| To my Voueyer (hmm, that makes me feel vaguely important..) -- Yes, that is exactly it -- feeling like a girl again. Feeling attractive and desired (although not necessarily in a sexual way). I'm finding myself gravitating toward men also because I miss the mesh of yin and yang that comes in the interaction between opposing genders. I have realized I'm actually not even slightly bisexual; I WANT COCK! I was just grossly disappointed in my marriage. I don't want a relationship, but I want a boy buddy. I enjoy spending time with boys, and at the same time, they can scare the crap out of me. |
| from laquerida : |
| How are we so much alike in that aspect? Do tell! Do tell! |
| from laquerida : |
| HAHAHAHA! What a freak! I think I would have laughed simply in astonishment and horror. Then said that I suddenly caught syphillis at the thought of his burrito, and ask to cancel lunch plans... |
| from misstress : |
| What an asshat. I probably would've said something along the lines of: "you might want to get that checked out." Where has all the class gone? Is everything innuendo now? |
| from misstress : |
| If it's wrong, I don't want to be right! |
| from laquerida : |
| yes! yes! You do that. I heard someone say last week that the men in Seattle were some of the finest in the USA. Seattle and NYC. And honey, there ARE some ni-i-i-i-ce looking penises strutting around here. And many are employed by William Gates. C'mon down! |
| from laquerida : |
| Ok, darling. Here's the scoop. You come to Seattle and we'll find ourselves some swank. OR we will CREATE some fine swank. Yeah, I am still giddy. Giddy over myself. God shall surely smite me for my vanity. *High Five* Here's to men with Moolah! May they RAIN UPON US! |
| from laquerida : |
| Dear GOD! And the woman who set you up with this creep is a FRIEND??? Are you sure about that? My most sincere condolences. |
| from misstress : |
| Why oh why is signmyguestbook.com not telling me when someone has, in fact, SIGNED MY GUESTBOOK? |
| from laquerida : |
| nevermind -- I figured out how to link to notes, etc. Thanks for letting me know! |
| from laquerida : |
| When I had it drawn on my ankle,s omeone actually DID guess! He said -- "It kinda looks like a tribal mitochondrion??" I wanted to kiss him. Turns out he is a medical illustrator. What are the odds!?!? How do I fix my links?? |
| from laquerida : |
| Thanks! So do I! Click on the design link to see who did it. As far as the tattoo -- it's going to be a mitochonrion. I know, INCREDIBLY nerdy, but mitochondria are amazing organelles, and I think I am in love with them. They make me twitterpated. |
| from laquerida : |
| Why NOT email him and tell him his negative attitude is a turn-off? He needs to hear it. Then you don't have to renig on calling him. Tell him he needs to work on his self-esteem before he tries and gets a girl. |
| from justcircles : |
| I ended up ducking outta eHarmony before my seven day grace period because I kept getting matched with guys who were "25 years old, doctor"... but they hadn't finished their profile... You also nailed it with the exertion thing: it is more like an old-fashioned court-ship which (theoretically) could be good, but not when you've never met the guy and don't know his family. It's still the internet, and it's still the types of guys who use the internet (which are different than the girls). Granted, I've only made good internet friends, even of the guys I went out with. Damn, I'm talking my ass off here! |
| from justcircles : |
| i updated real drunk last night... it's like a present to myself |
| from misstress : |
| Damn Canada! I won't get to see yummy Kyan half-naked for another couple of weeks, I don't think. The one that was on last night was Andrew, the camera operator. |
| from laquerida : |
| I'm blushing! I'm blushing! I'm hiding behind my hands! Actually, I have become quite fascinated with my legs. I hated them for years and years;they were shaped like my mother's and she would stand in fornt of the mirror and talk badly about her legs when I was a little girl. All the running has morphed them into something else though -- they don't look like hers much at all anymore. Yay, me! Consequently, I like to look at them. I say enjoy it while it lasts. Thanks for the compliments. :) |
| from laquerida : |
| Why CAN'T you tell Denny you are not available? Tell him you suddenly realized you might be a lesbian, and wish to explore that option. And no, he CAN'T watch. |
| from laquerida : |
| I love it too. And Swank. Soiree, sash-ay, swank-ay! Frog enclosures are usually seen on Asian jackets and tops. They are knitted knot and loop enclosures. |
| from laquerida : |
| Spring has sprung and the boys are smelling some fine-ass sushi! Too bad none of them are ones you are attracted to. |
| from lilgirl-lost : |
| finally, someone else who has issues with men and their nasty feet! |
| from laquerida : |
| I do what I can. I'm glad it helps. :) |
| from laquerida : |
| *BIG* *Freakin* *Hug* Zee doktor rekomens yoo make nice snuggle date wit kitteez. Kitteez, blankeez, moveez. Eez goot tyme. Make zee tea too. Eez goot. |
| from laquerida : |
| Naked Bill Murray?? EEEWWW! Sweetie...oh my. I'm speechless. |
| from justcircles : |
| if you're at the show tonight I'll be in fishnets and a red shirt... |
| from justcircles : |
| y'know, I got as far as open communication with one fella on eHarmony, and I'm already over it... whatever it is that's supposed to send the right man to girls like us, I really don't feel like it's the internet. Just close the account. You *know* deep down it's not the answer, don't you? I do. I don't know what *is* the anser, though... |
| from laquerida : |
| yes, babbling makes for some great entries! |
| from laquerida : |
| I'm curious about what in that entry made it wonderful. It sounds like endless babbling about three days of my life to me. ;) |
| from laquerida : |
| "One of the managers I work with said cars are more trouble than men. I agree. At least a car gets me somewhere." <---- This needs to be emblazoned on a t-shirt. It's the funniest thing I've heard in days! |
| from laquerida : |
| Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. My heart goes out to you. |
| from ergoatlas : |
| I love pens too! And, I love vodka. Perhaps a pen with a little flask in it for vodka? |
| from laquerida : |
| People tend to get a little self-righteous in their desperation. This behavior is rediculously similar to a situation I encountered with James, the ex-boyfriend. You are not responsible for his perception of his life sucking, and his incredibly detailed notes serve little more than to self-righteously martyr himself and induce guilt within you. The fact that he hasn't had a date since '98 is irrelevant, did not need to be addressed, but he made sure we all knew about it. You don't need to justify yourself to us either, hon. It was apparent from the excessive notes he left you that he was a little wonkers. BTW -- "wonkers" is today's word. |
| from justcircles : |
| ...and he hasn't paused for a *second* to consider how you might feel as a result of a man ascribing so much meaning to such a brief encounter... not to mention the fact that men *regularly* blow women off (my personal plight)... he should respect himself more than to have pinned up so much hope on that one night's missed phone call... |
| from laquerida : |
| It's just a crazy thought -- I mean, these are professionals...(?)..I don't know what the hell I am saying. I grew up in a place where carhardt-wearing, dirty, beer-bellied men in flannels are the norm. It's just a wild concept to me that someone "professional" would even notice me...(or feed me pie). ;) |
| from zizi : |
| it was a bad idea to begin corresponding with him in the first place. i should be glad that he deletes them. |
| from laquerida : |
| Incidentally, the below statement is not intended to upset you or chastise you. I just think that none of us should have to regulate our thoughts on a diary simply because it is online (although all of us inevitably do). |
| from laquerida : |
| I'm going to disagree with you on this one. Whoever this person is, he is completely, 100% entitled to be as pathetic and whiny in his diary as he wants to be. It is, after all, his diary. It is also his choice not to do anything about the sorry state of his life, for whatever reasons or excuses he uses to not overcome his fears (because the bottom line is probably fear of rejection keeping him from interacting). It is also YOUR choice not to read his diary if you find his words and bemoaning irritating. Change the channel. He shouldn't have to alter his expression for an audience. You are not tied to his chair. ;) |
| from raven72d : |
| You knew that I haven't been out with anyone since 1998; you knew that no girl had called me to flirt since before my birthday in November. You called because I had been writing about being depressed and deprived. So how could you *not* think I'd be upset and depressed and angry that you didn't bother calling? I do think I'm entitled to an apology for your rude and thoughtless actions. |
| from raven72d : |
| You would not leave someone waiting for you at a restaurant (I hope). I took you at your word. You said you would call; I looked forward to it. I waited all weekend for a call. That Friday you e-mailed me at work and seemed quite as if you were looking forward to it yourself. You didn't call; you never offered either to re-schedule or apologize. Is there some way that you can describe that as anything except rude and thoughtless? I have no idea why you don't see that. And I have no idea why you bothered to call me at all that first night if you had no intention of calling back. I do think I'm entitled to an apology. |
| from gerberagirl : |
| Note to self: ignore all correspondence from the sad, sad man who left the note below. Thank you. |
| from raven72d : |
| You said you would call. You didn't. You never bothered to (1) apologize or (2) call later. You knew that I was looking forward to your call, that I had described your first call as "spirit-raising". You knew that I was alone and convinced that I wasn't valuable enough for anyone to call. Not calling that weekend could've happened for any number of reasons. But it was rude and thoughtless not to apologize or make it up with another call. I don't understand rudeness, or just airily blowing someone off. If you say you're going to call, you should call. Or, if there's a legitimate reason (illness, pressure of work, pressing social obligation)the polite and consierate thing to do is apologize. And then call later. If you were going to treat me shabbily, you should never have called at all-- especially since you knew that I would look forward to your call, that it meant a lot, given my current depressed/deprived state. If I haven't "let it go", it's because I think I'm owed a (non-sarcastic, sincere) apology. I hadn't thought you would be inconsiderate and thoughtless and rude. |
| from raven72d : |
| Uncomfortable? Because I believed that you would call the weekend you said you would? |
| from laquerida : |
| I don't think you are being too forward. It sounds like he may be incredibly shy and unsure of himself, though. |
| from justcircles : |
| aw!! thanks for the quote! I think mutual friends are the key to good dating. So just concentrate on good friends first. The rest shall follow. ;) |
| from raven72d : |
| Annie Lennox... "Here Comes the Rain" is a beautiful song. |
| from justcircles : |
| http://www.npr.org/display_pages/features/feature_1555279.html |
| from justcircles : |
| I use the word "though" all the time, and I'm sick of prolonged internet-two-step, and I'm going to shoot the next person I see wearing UGG boots |
| from raven72d : |
| Clam chowder is always good... Japan? Why is your father in Japan? And I know what you mean about missing hugs... |
| from justcircles : |
| you can check their website, but they'll be in Newport, KY, which is across the river in Cinci, and you'll get to meet a bunch of IU grad students because a huge gang of us are making the 3 hour road trip... it's gonna be a blast |
| from justcircles : |
| you know that you and I really would get along quite well if we ever met in person, and I'm sorry it didn't work out this summer like we planned... but maybe it will one day... Say: March 1st I'll be in Cinci to see the Yeah Yeah Yeah's if you wanna road trip... |
| from laquerida : |
| I'm sorry. Here's some extra hugs your way! Be extra kind to yourself. You deserve it. |
| from laquerida : |
| I think the sucking up would make me want to kick him in the crotch. But that's just me. |
| from laquerida : |
| Desired t-shirt DOES come in a men's style, which will likely have a size that fits you. Check the website again and look at "gifts for him" on the left hand side. ;) |
| from raven72d : |
| At work? Hmmm... see the Red Shoe Diaries episode "The Game"... |
| from laquerida : |
| EEEEWWW! Eeeeew! That's so vile! |
| from thintowin : |
| LOL, ok. Sorry, I was paranoid cuz it just sounded exactly like my last entry... I need to learn that not everyone is obsessed with my life, huh? Thanks for the quick note. |
| from thintowin : |
| Huh? Is that about me? I did delete my stuff, and I am purposely ignoring other stuff, but it has nothing to do with self-pity. I'm actually healing myself. This is a much better time for me. I have other ineterests and thoughts... Argh! |
| from raven72d : |
| Michael Caine, but never a Corona and me... |
| from laquerida : |
| I have a tendency to use the word "tasty" instead of "yummy", and like you, in reference to people who most would normally not go ga-ga over. For instance, Patrick Stewart. That man is TASTY, although seeing how much he has aged in X2 left me a bit saddened. Wobbly necks just don't do it for me... |
| from misstress : |
| I heartily recommend "The Crimson Petal and The White". It will suck in you from the first page. Plus, it's 900 pages, so it will last all weekend if you do have to hibernate. |
| from laquerida : |
| Well, some Christians ARE that frightening. Thanks for the laughs and good vibes you sent my way. Something kicked in on Tuesday, and I think it helped a lot. :) |
| from justcircles : |
| the ones I would tell you to rent NOW are: Godfather II, Citizen Kane, LOTR trilogy, 12 Angry Men, American History X, & Donnie Darko; but mad props for having already seen Duck Soup, because that's in my top 5!! |
| from misstress : |
| It's a rather depressing entry and I wanted to be able to warn people before they stumbled across it. It's just for today. If you would like to read it, the username is: aporetic and the password is: mustbenice. Consider yourself warned. :) And don't feel obligated to read it. |
| from laquerida : |
| Ouch. Now you know why he needed to get himself put in a catalog to find a date. At least you escaped relatively unscathed! |
| from raven72d : |
| Ahem. |
| from thintowin : |
| Ah, sorry about the date with the frat boy. Hmmm, the lesson here is to always set up the escape. ;) Better luck on the next one. |
| from raven72d : |
| Any time, clever girl! |
| from raven72d : |
| Your call last night was a delightful and spirit-raising event... |
| from raven72d : |
| Is there such a thing as cinnamon-fried rice? |
| from raven72d : |
| Two months of panties? *Sigh*... I always try to get girls to givethem up altogether. And...what happened to your statement that you were going to call me last night? |
| from kalel592002 : |
| Hiya! Hadn't chatted or messaged you in a bit, yep, still out there! |
| from raven72d : |
| feel invited to call and talk... |
| from thatmarygirl : |
| i love love love your diary. |
| from raven72d : |
| didn't get the link... |
| from raven72d : |
| The missing Sushichick! |
| from laquerida : |
| Excellent. Then you too can be a Vaginal Wonder! Not eating enough currently to be using the blue pills, taking everything hour by hour... |
| from laquerida : |
| In February, around Valentine's day, you are to go to a college in the area and see a production of the Vagina Monologues. Period. End of story. For your own ... you just have to. |
| from laquerida : |
| wow! You're so sweet. Thanks for the compliments. Regarding porn -- yeah, I don't know what's up with him. I don't care anymore. I deserve something better than this though. My ex told me once that he had no idea how my husband could look at porn when he slept next to me every night. God, how I cried. |
| from justcircles : |
| pool? karaoke? I fucking hate that shit. I suppose you also think cheap beer and chain smoking would be fun, don't you? I'm not hanging out with you after Christmas. Forget it! |
| from justcircles : |
| the hardest part of being your sole provider is the breach you must make from the comfort of others, but it's necessary to not overcome the loss of old friends by searching for new ones, but instead to learn how to fill their hole with yourself... it's the singlemost shitty experience/realization/lesson I've ever learned, but I'm so much the better for learning it (and people are now more gravitated to me)... dudes dig chicks with their shit together, especially if they have their shit together too |
| from laquerida : |
| SEVENTY DEGREES?????? Our high today was 42. Do you need a roommate? PS -- you don't need a man. I swear. You need to cultivate a loving relationship with yourself. |
| from laquerida : |
| YOU GO GIRL! You rock your hot little booty and shake your groove thang! Wooo-eeee! Hope you had fun! |
| from laquerida : |
| Yay! Have fun tonight! |
| from laquerida : |
| Thankis. :) I tend to be more witty when I'm really pissed or depressed, for whatever reason. Perhaps the lack of serotonin frees up some other neurotransmitter that produces wit. I'll come back up again some day -- we always do!! |
| from justcircles : |
| ....hey, we can't both be slingin' Joe's! |
| from robotheart : |
| hey i forgot to add your new site so i'm catching up...but one thing, you need to fix the foward and backward arrows at the bottom of your entries so they move to the other entries...right now i have to use your older page...and i'm lazy. |
| from justcircles : |
| and then you wrote... "I had promised myself I would take some tim to date myself once I moved"... and I thought that was a really really funny typo (and Tim (or time?) doesn't suck as bad as some guys do; he sounds pretty cool). |
| from robotheart : |
| email: [email protected] |
| from justcircles : |
| not at all? you mean you're totally fine and always were? you HAVE to promise me to go to a new doctor AS SOON as you get to Columbus so you can get ONE, DEFINITIVE answer... I'm pissed for you, but very VERY relieved... |
| from justcircles : |
| ...I love a woman with a pizza stone |
| from justcircles : |
| I have nothing to say, of course, I mean, no one does, really, I guess, but just know that my heart is full of thoughts for you, okay? |
| from laquerida : |
| CONGRATULATIONS ON BEING UNFERTILIZED!!!! Empty wombs are happy wombs. I tell everyone who asks me if I have babies this. :) |
