I've heard that the first couple/few years for lawyers are, like the first years for teachers, just dreadful...one couple I knew even split up, unable to weather the storm. I've also noticed that things seem to relax a few years in. Hang in, and take a break, eh?

from trinityboy :

I knew someone much like the person you describe...except he wasn't awesome, he was just wounded and angry and took it out on everyone else. I never told him and still dislike him.

from trinityboy :

Yeah, there's some awkward creepiness at work there. I think he asked about a wedding to test the commitment, see if you're likely to go back on the market any time soon. Ish.

from trinityboy :

When Dad likes him, that's a good sign. I've determined that, should Amy and I have a daughter, I'll do my best to scare off suitors until she's 35, and then only clergy will be permitted to see her.

from iustitia :

you know, you could make a crockpot recipe, and then you would have hot food w/no oven needed. I have 2 veg crockpot cookbooks... let me know if you need ideas!!

from ruthbaldwin :

i was going to suggest a vegetarian quiche (it's good cold!) or a tomato/basil/mozz salad, but i like trinityboy's idea better.

from trinityboy :

How about a pita with various hummus/baba ganoush (sp?), etc?

from ruthbaldwin :

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

from trinityboy :

Very good point. God uses what's there, and speaks to us where we are. And really, the bits we've borrowed from the pagans are mostly trimming...yule logs and mistletoe and whatnot. The central story remains untouched. If, that is, you can find it under all the commercialism! Have a very Merry Christmas, and may Christ's peace and love light your new year.

from trinityboy :

Cover the floor of your new place with sand and use the patio furniture inside...pretend you're at the beach!

from trinityboy :

The (so-called) Gentleman's Rule: Divide your age in half and add seven; do not date anyone younger than that. I have no idea if there's a similar formula for older women...I suppose subtract seven from your age and double; don;t date any older than that. Of course it's a perfectly silly idea, since there are 22 year olds who are far more mature than some 45 year olds.

from trinityboy :

I dated a much younger woman (just within the "gentleman's rule") a few years ago. Other than some depressing moments (Oh...you weren't ALIVE when Star Wars came out.) it wasn't a bad thing. She was more mature than her peers, which did make hanging out with her friends a bit tiresome. There's only so much bar-hopping I can take...though I hated bars when I was in my early 20's, so I'm no judge.

from trinityboy :

Why does calling A to get his stuff make you a bad person? Taking A's stuff with you when you move and not giving him your new address and using his stuff to decorate...THAT would make you a bad person. And a thief. I know what you mean about the panic. I have two huge, shadowy fears that I carry around with me. Neither of them is current, neither can be dealt with, but they add a background of stress to everything else. They used to emerge from my psyche as brief mental movies of me getting hit by a car...thankfully, those have stopped! I hope you find a release for some of the pressure...getting the move behind you ought to help!

from trinityboy :

You could try saying that you're sort of seeing someone and that, while you know it was just a friendly offer, your sort-of boyfriend might not be keen about it. "Sorry, but we're just sorting out where we are and I don't want to send him the wrong signals."

from trinityboy :

Mind, these are my impressions from afar. You're deep in the situation and know the emotions at work. I don't envy you, at any rate. It sucks to break up with someone who's not over you...almost as much as it sucks to be dumped.

from trinityboy :

If you told A. everything you described in your entry, and why you've locked your diary, it ought to help cauterize the wound. You didn't act in any way unethically...to have hung out with G. and enjoyed the attraction, while still maintaining a relationship with A. - THAT would have been unethical.

from trinityboy :

Password! Password!

from girlnothing :

I want the password, of course!

from iustitia :

I'd like the pw if you don't mind... hope all's well with you.

from iustitia :

hey, I hope you're doing okay. Even under the best of circumstances, breakups suck. xoxo

from trinityboy :

Sad songs say so much, as the poet wrote. Banging on the beach...makes one wonder about making the whole kingdom come. Oops. Priests aren't supposed to say things like that.

from trinityboy :

In the trailer to which you pointed, the narrator says that "in this dream Hulk Hogan was my live-in bodyguard."

from trinityboy :

You wanted Hulk Hogan as your bodyguard?

from trinityboy :

Excellent thoughts, be they ever so secondary. I wrote my ethics paper on the immorality of modern business practices, vis a vis the Levitical code regarding a goring ox. My point was that any income generator (i.e., the ox) comes with inherent responsibilities; namely, to insure that it not do harm. Evidence suggests that Nike, Wal-Mart and Coca-Cola, among others, have little regard for the damage their oxen do.

from trinityboy :

From Wikipedia...Leonidas (Greek: Λεωνίδας) was a king of Sparta, the 17th of the Agiad line. He was one of the sons of King Anaxandridas II of Sparta, descendant of Heracles. He succeeded, probably in 489 or 488 BC, his half-brother Cleomenes I, whose daughter Gorgo he married.

from trinityboy :

Play that swearing thing for all it's worth! Start flinching when you hear a swear word, and then smile a beatific little "Well, you ARE just human," smile. See how many hoops you can get people to jump through. That or, when you have your snap, use the foulest language available...really infernal things, just to see how they take it. See, I can suggest these things because I don't have to work there.

from joiedv :

I am adding you as a favorite. When you listed Tess of the D'Urbervilles under "Books that made me laugh," I laughed out loud. I add people who can make me laugh out loud. ~ Liz

from trinityboy :

You want more by George Eliot? It takes a week just to read one of her sentences! I did love Middlemarch, though. Poor old Casaubon. Or do I pity him just for the clergy connection? I agree on P&P, though perhaps for different reasons...I had images of Jennifer Ehle in mind as I read. Hotchie-motchie!

from trinityboy :

Your guestbook isn't loading for me...again. I tend to fixate on relationships, mostly how my death would/will affect Amy. I also think about accomplishments, or a lack thereof. Oh, and if you're outnumbered, try a flanking manoeuvre. I've no idea how that might apply to your situation, but I hear that attacking from the side gives an outnumbered army a fighting chance.

from elsquid :

Verizon is incredibly evil. They are why I am at work on the computer right now instead of sitting in my cozy room at home on the computer.

from elsquid :

congratulations!! we should get together again soon. i now can get us into black cat shows for free so let me know if you see anything you want to hit up...

from elsquid :

bowling for soup is from denton! yay denton!

from cdghost :

i enjoyed your diary much so

from squirrelx :

I don't know how common the phrase 'swink and tote' is outside the general area that I live in, but I've been hearin' it all my life --- used interchangeably with 'fetch and carry'. I've assumed 'swink' means 'fetch'. Now you've got me wonderin' ... Warmest regards, Xtine

from elsquid :

Drop me a line (echenow@alumni) if you need a chick flick buddy (I don't have one in DC!) or want to get lunch sometime.

from elsquid :

DC? That's great! I am an excellent tour guide with lots of free time!

from rae-babe :

A friend of mine had her daughter run away and she might be in the New York area. Please take a look at the picture. It's right at the top of my page and it will only take a second. If you have seen her the contact information is below. Thank You for your help, Rae-babe

from squirrelx :

This 'thank you' is terribly belated and I do apologize. Please know how much I appreciate findin' out about Summerlee.org! I'm gonna post the link to it in my next entry, creditin' you the source. I hope folks will read the quote and support the cause too. Warmest regards, Xtine

from mandyreese :

Thanks for the Nair warning. My sister told me that it stunk to high heaven, but that it didn't hurt. Oh, well. I think that waxing might indeed prove to be an interesting experience . . .

from heinrich :
