Yea, I'm gonna have to start buying smaller- it's just so confusing, because I've been slowly losing weight- I used to be a 6 and sometimes a 4, but now I fit into 4s all the time, but I still think OK, this is the smallest size I wear, ya know? Weird! Jeans are so crazy, I swear, I need to get rich and have all my clothes tailored. My boss is very rich and she gets all her clothes from Saks and has them tailored, lucky dog.

I stand the house guest. Timing is everything. The more limited, the better.

from gumphood :

I did the Jungle Adventure Cruise AND my boat almost died. hahahahahaha

from zemcomplex :

Yeh. You could have said something earlier, you know.

from gumphood :

I wish I had some coffee.

from gumphood :

Is it exclusivly Tea? Have you heard of the Delocator? www.bostonist.com -- scroll down to the delocator.

from candoor :

lol, liked your money entry... what about a billion (maybe Bill Gates will drop it passing through or something)... no reason you can't do all of the rest then :)

from mangofarmer :

I like your ideas for using $100 million. I always thought if I were ridiculously rich I'd create a scholarship for poor flute players named Sarah or something like that. ;)

from zemcomplex :

We've seen comparable scenarios played out in my own diary. The less respectful I've been, the more kudos and attention seems to come my way. It's an unfortunate situation that seems to promote stereotypical behavior in both sexes - which makes sense, as everyone knows more how to deal with stereotypes than how to deal with actual people. I blame everyone.

from gumphood :

Also, this American girl place freaked me out. There were girls walking around with dolls that looked like them. creepy.

from gumphood :

I think if allowed to, guys will quickly objectify women in the literal sense, where we enjoy you when we are with you, but we want to turn you into objects and put you on the shelf and do other things too. This isn't me either, but I see it alot where guys treat women no better (or worse) than the car they go down to the basement to work on and fix. They love the car and enjoy working on it, but it can remain in the basement and they only enjoy it on their terms. I think its an immature guy charecter, but an undeniable one that frustrates women, who rarely objectify.

from gumphood :

unfortunatly it was at Cellular.

from nudeplatypus :

My niece used to get the American Girl magazine and every few months or so she would also get the American Girl catalog. And it was creepy beyond belief mainly because you could get your doll and outfit and then the same outfit for yourself.

from zemcomplex :

If there's anything I can do to help, I'm sure you'll let me know.

from gumphood :

Flying to Chi Town tomorrow.

from nudeplatypus :

I've been trying to figure out why I find Dr. Neil Clark Warren to be so creepy and I think you are exactly right. He does seem like a cult leader. Fill out the survey and soon you will be drinking the Kool-Aid.

from gumphood :

I liked your entry there...and your new profile picture. Live for that.

from mangofarmer :

Yeesh, fire. I'm glad you're okay.

from gumphood :

Dear 78...thats cute. He's got a hold on you beleive it. Hahah . I just enjoy it. I hope you are too.

from zemcomplex :

Of course, dear 78.

from zemcomplex :

For the record, I did enjoy our chat. Although I find exception at being referred to as a "he/she"... :)

from gumphood :

hehehe. secret lover -- zem's got a hold on you beleive it. I think its funny that you are so private.

from gumphood :

If you don't accomplish those goals, here is your punishment. You will buy three kittens. Raise and name them for two weeks. Then give them away.

from gumphood :

DO you have a suggestion of a place or two to visit in Chicago?

from gumphood :

I'll be at the White Sox Cub series. Oh yeah. Intercity rivalry baby!

from emu-head :

Exactly! Just write for you. But I, for one, always enjoy reading what you have to say.

from gumphood :

I wouldn't worry too much, unless that hot co worker you have a crush on reads. hehehe.

from zemcomplex :

Email me if you have a chance. I have a zany idea along those lines.

from gumphood :

No. I am TOTALLY not. I'm 75% irish, and 25% portuguees. Now add in the fact that I was adopted, and I have zero cultural history.

from gumphood :

That was a good story. I mean I can't beleive that story, but I do feel sorry for you that you can never go back there. That interests me that you are a white african as well. Are you British?

from gumphood :

I like that you've got the Toyko shirt. That kicks ass.

from gumphood :

Good entry. Once a girl has our heart (men that is) we obsesses. Men Don't give love out easly, we don't know how to deal with it once we do. That's why we go nuts. I did once.

from gumphood :

I think an important thing to remember is this...men obsess over their ex's the way girls obsess over their crushes.

from zemcomplex :

I'd be very unhealthy for you. If that means anything. hahaha jk

from third-person :

Hey MareBear. Zem speaks so highly of you that I had to pop on over and see what all the fuss was about. I must admit, I really enjoyed your diary. As a fellow grad student, I can certainly identify.

from gumphood :

But...who are those girls!

from gumphood :

Certainly. Particaully because our hoods were anti gravity.

from gumphood :

Congraduations on the masterful grad cap. Thats pretty cool.

from onewetleg :

i clicked your banner

from gumphood :

we'll start calling you paris if you get much thinner.

from gumphood :

Sometimes I want to crack a chair over a co-worker. Does that count?

from gumphood :

What happened to Dave Chappell.

from mangofarmer :

Well, think of all the sushi!

from luckeme :

AWESOME GIRL! :) Good luck! Chicago will be one awesome chica short due to your departure! xox!

from zemcomplex :

Got nothing but smiles for ya, MB.

from gumphood :

How was the U2 show.

from zemcomplex :

I could never compete against that.

from zemcomplex :

I'm sure his was wider, with good cause. Damn, MB78, after all we've been through together... jk. :)

from zemcomplex :

Ah, you make me smile.

from emu-head :

Teaching ESL is actually a good idea, something I probably wouldn't have thought of for myself before you suggested it. I'm gonna keep it in mind. Thanks for that!

from zemcomplex :

Wonderous. As proud as one stranger can be of another, I am doubly so.

from gumphood :

Ben and Matt's career have kinda gone N/S don'tcha think.

from zemcomplex :

Didja tell 'em? Huh? Didja?

from gumphood :

Its a chance to take that you couldn't possibly regret.

from gumphood :

Poor Asian men. They often do get the shaft from what I know about them.

from zemcomplex :

It's the least I could do. As a fan.

from zemcomplex :

You'd consider piggish behavior? Mercy me. I would gladly give you a one-on-one consultation on the topic. You know, just to make sure you are the best you can be. 8^0

from zemcomplex :

My dear MB78: I see you have your answer in your own entry. Keep in mind that the roots you have in Chi will always be here. And when you return, you can trump any motherfucker at a cocktail party. "Oh, that's interesting," you can say, "I'VE been in Japan." As for the New Boy, best to tell him up front. No need to create negative karma before you leave. Let me know if you need any more cheerleading.

from gumphood :

How long will you be there?

from gumphood :

I heard a waiter fart once while taking our order. Horrible.

from gumphood :

A new man MIGHT help. It also might fuck things up too. So what use am i?! haha

from gumphood :

Ohio. (Japaneese for either goodbye or hello, but not like aloha. Its one, but I can't remember. Good bye)

from gumphood :

So whats going on? Are you going to make it?

from gumphood :

Hey. What do you think about NOMAH going down. AND do you like the Transit or the T more?

from gumphood :

he good manners are what made her boss...hehe

from gumphood :

If you are into him for the muscles ... rememeber hot dumb guys get older quicker than hot dumb girls. Give him a fake name...not him, but you tell him you're like Sir Mixalot or something.

from gumphood :

Don't give up so early Higher Ed Jobs are really popular now a days. Keep trying.

from gumphood :

wait...he's dating a girl from Enterprise who like picked him up in the car?

from zemcomplex :

An excellent choice.

from gumphood :

I'm really liking the Time Travelers Wife.

from gumphood :

Is areptis armpits? Just wondering. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you. I am glad you think I am a man. ahaha. I just think that honesty is the best methodology for interpersonal relations.

from zemcomplex :

You got me there.

from marebear78 :

Have you ever smelled arepas? I'm sure the smell of rotting goat milk, cigarettes, and diesel smells a little better.

from zemcomplex :

Most people simply object to the smell.

from zemcomplex :

That's a common myth. Uzbekistanians are much more respectful.

from zemcomplex :

That's a common myth. Uzbekistanians are much more respectful.

from zemcomplex :

I think everyone should have a horrible, insecure, arrogant, self-centered, neglectful and disrespectful Venezuelan. Much better than Cambodians.

from zemcomplex :

I know how you feel about reservations. Whenever I go to a really nice restaurant, I always have reservations. ...I can't believe I just typed that...

from gumphood :

Get you Cubs Red Sox Tickets now. I will be there for that. Its initially that simple for most guys who will randomly pick up on a girl Of my roommates 3 of the 5 guys will pick up on looks first, and then dump later if the personality is off. Does that make sense? I mean. I was watching an MTV episode of "NEXT" and the guy "nexted" the girl after seeing her for 2 seconds. And thats true. I want to appauad MTV for showing guys at their true pigginess.

from boxer-briefs :

good luck today. the boss of my boss came to me today with a MIZZOU brochure to hang on my cube wall (he went there, as well). It reads: Missouri School of Journalism. The first. The best.

from mangofarmer :

I like Susan Cooper a lot. Although technically "juvenile", her "Dark is Rising" series is so addicting I still read it every year anyway. It's basically your classic good vs. evil fantasy heavily based on Arthurian legend. I'm going to shut up before I hurt myself with all this geekishness.

from gumphood :

Sorry. No Mexican telenovelas allowed.

from gumphood :

I LOVE flying, but I still bet that flight was killer. I am sorry they are putting you to work. Ugh.

from gumphood :

I'm so jealous.

from gumphood :

Wow. Japan. Ohio. Enjoy.

from zemcomplex :

Hope you're feeling better. Although your under-the-weather-ness adds a fun little edge to your writing.

from mangofarmer :

I heart Bill Clinton. Immensely.

from gumphood :

You know, they are thinking about running condy rice. Wouldn't that be funny. ha. I love the daily show because its the only good source of liberal looking media out there.

from gumphood :

Man. I would not want to be either the old guy or the guy who had to take him out.

from gumphood :

I just catching up, but you are in school right? So is the boss a part time thing?

from gumphood :

grad students aren't allowed to buy clothes.

from zemcomplex :

I think you'd be better off with a struggling yet occasionally amusing actor/writer/director/painter/ musician/muse/shrink. But that's just me. :)

from gumphood :

so do they break up with you? Do you tire of them? Or how do they usually end?

from zemcomplex :

Everything is cyclical, so I know that it WILL be OK eventually. Sometimes it would cool to not feel perpetually stuck in the waiting room o' life, y'know? I bet you do.

from zemcomplex :

Psst...over here...

from gumphood :

I got my degree in Mathmatical Economics. YEEEEEHAAAAAWWWWW (thats why I can't spell)

from gumphood :

Sweetest Marebear. Did I ask what you are in Grad School for. I recently exited the tormented work of the finacially damned. Just wondering. Plus next entry is 100.

from nudeplatypus :

Apropos of absolutely nothing, I kind of dig lawn gnomes.

from gumphood :

Hey ya. So hotwire is the way to go. I'm gonna check that out now.

from protoplast :

I am super jealous of your Japan trip. I need to plan an adventure to another country far, far away.

from johnnyscaldo :

Thanks for the words of encouragement. Any clue why the 'badder' or more 'piggish' I am, the more positive response I get and the more refined, the more negative (you may recall The Big Date from ages ago... same dealio)?

from johnnyscaldo :

from volstead :

everything happens for a reason. omg i really believe it after the last year of my life. this dude didn't seem to respect you. you'll find someone who does and it will feel RIGHT!

from nudeplatypus :

I have great plans to go to Japan. And I haven't really thought about what I'm going to do there but I only need 1700 more frequent flyer miles for a ticket to Japan.

from iwillsurvive :

Hi! I'm running going to all the kind Dlanders who've listed me on their favorites list. Firstly, Thanks for that! Secondly, I'm trying to rally the Diaryland Community to raise $10,000 for the victims of the Tsunami. Please visit my diary for all the details. WE CAN DO THIS!!!!

from bledgirlblue :

Happy Holidays Girlie. Xox!

from johnnyscaldo :

Have a good holiday, ms. 78! Don't do anything I wouldn't do (or maybe that should be "only do things I wouldn't do!"). Digging your life - keep writing. JS

from alicatstrut :

Re: grammar survey I find grammar incredibly selective, but the "trick" was that two people cannot put something "next to" them, but must put it "between" or "near" them. Really, #5 is too easy to overthink and the grammar rule was put in place before the Theory of Relativity existed. It's psychologically interesting how people choose to modify the sentence. (Check out all the "bad" grammar I used in this post. I rule.)

from johnnyscaldo :

It was. Wish it could be the beginning of something permanent instead of some random acts of curiosity, but that's alright. Love your stuff about the crayons. Always fun to check in on what you're up to.

from less-than3 :

i just got the survey from people's diaries. it seems EVERYONE'S filling it out. and, you know, i had to follow the crowd...

from boxer-briefs :

I think unless a person is a family member or you are dating them, you need not get them anything for Christmas -- otherwise the gift-giving can get really out of hand. (Though Trader Joe's has a lot of expensive-looking chocolates, wines, etc. that you could give and not spend a fortune & five-year olds still like cheap toys, or else give them 10 single dollar bills wrapped in a box and they'll think you are coolest person ever.)

from johnnyscaldo :

For the brother's semi-present girlfriend, I suggest an ankle bracelet with a homing device.

from less-than3 :

i SO need a day off to be a 4th grader. :)

from augustdreams :

I found you through your banner, and I love your writing. Very good stuff. I'll definitely be back for more.

from bledgirlblue :

I'm sorry you are lonely. It's hard to do lonely... xoxo.

from bledgirlblue :

You made me smile today. From one corporate slave to another.. much love your way girl!

from johnnyscaldo :

Thanks, marebear. I always like the take-it-slow route, although it usually ends up with a very common question from whomever I'm seeing: "Why didn't you _________________?" We will see (don't we always?). Take a look at her opus at http://www.hottiehunting.com/ and you may see how easily it is to be enchanted with this particularly odd creature...

from mangofarmer :

Awwww, what a nice entry. Happy Thanksgiving! :)

from johnnyscaldo :

Just stumbled onto your diary and think it's great and raw and funny and just disturbing enough to be thoroughly entertaining. Have a great Thanksgiving!

from bledgirlblue :

hang in there... i completely understand. ignorance.. or rather.. incompetence is bliss!

from protoplast :

You are right. I know this. I'm over it now--for the most part. ;)

from bledgirlblue :

Just wanted to leave you a note and let you know I had a boss like that once. She was a cunt. A real big cunt. I feel your pain. The good thing about bosses like that though, is once you've moved on to another job, all other bosses are bearable. :)

from dfirefly :

Thanks for your note. I haven't had a chance to read much of your diary, but I liked the few entries I saw. And if you do go see it, I hope you enjoy Huckabees. :)

from boxer-briefs :

Just read a bunch of your entries and realized that you are a Mizzou J-school grad, as am I -- class of '98. Ah, good old Columbia ... life was so much simpler than.

from mangofarmer :

Thanks for taking my survey- it made me smile in MY post-election depression. :) I agree with your thoughts on Ohio. After all, Cleveland is in Ohio. :P

from bobbiedylan :

i liked your october 12 entry. i agree with a lot, especially your republican comments and what you had to say about paris hilton. shes tired.

from so-charming :

Hey, thanks for signing me. I think I'm going to like your diary as well. Anyone who likes the Art Institute and despises Bush goes directly to the head of my 'good' list.
