(Now I have you confused again don't I, you think I'm in the UK. But I DID learn my forward and unabashed behavior from you, and I'll have you know the first poster I tried it out on at even mild strength was so terrified that he held up his wife and baby to me, convinced I was going to come out of the message board [kind of like that girl in The Ring I suppose] and threaten his marriage. Thanks for the pointers, teach! You didn't warn me how powerful your Method can be. And watch yourself -- I really CAN come out of the message board at people if I feel like it.)
> booze-bottle-pile languishing: what does that mean? if you are assuming i drink often, then you are correct. but, if you are assuming i save the bottles, you are dead wrong. i am not sure i know precisely what you mean by this one, but still felt the need to comment. >
<<<<< What this means is, laying passed out on the floor in the midst of your empty bottles, which would be the part in between the drinking from them and throwing them out. I do believe I saw a lovely characterization of the potential for that in Vermont...
>... on the rare occassions that i do wash it, i still find no need to brush it. now, that doesn't mean i have dreads. it just means i prefer to finger comb my hair. plus, guys go wild for the "bed head" look. >
<<<<< Ya know it's funny, a friend of mine who is like a Weeble in her insistence on going out no matter what (wobbles but she won't fall down) found the above to be true when she had a herniated disk. For the months before she ended up having surgery, she would still somehow go out partying, but couldn't do some things like blow dry her hair straight which took forever. So she started letting it go wild, and allowed it to grow long. And wow, the boys did indeed go wild for that look. Poor thing, stuck there with her reduced ability to fight them off! ;- )
>... again, there's nothing wrong with sex, unless you have high expectations or a preconceived notion of something more happening (like gifts or marriage). free love =good. expectations =bad. >
<<<<<< Ok, who IS that talking? This is not our Karen Kay. Is Scott brainwashing the bold and unapologetic demandingness out of you?? I could SWEAR I've seen at least one or two marriage proposals from you to posters here, and gifts??? Need I even comment on that one?? Oh, I get it, you're gonna start trying Reverse Psychology now to get KK what KK wants!
> now spoc, you can't honestly say you're not considering the idea of moving to vermont, can you? we could share a bed you know!<<<<<< The scary thing is, I *can't* honestly say I'm not considering it. Vermont being in a region I've never visited, and maybe having read too many charming books and seen too many charming movies, the farmhouse thing is really calling to me. And the idea of gardening and physical work instead of continuing to think I must find a way to flow with corporate America (beyond enjoying some of its great COCKTAIL parties) has some appeal. But I do wonder about a few things.
If there is no spark between Scott and me, or any of you and me (which would of course be me finding you all unsatisfactory, never the reverse), will I still be accepted and valued as highly as any other member as long as I Contribute to the collective chores? Or will I just be seen as not making full use of my takage-uppage of space? And I'm not quite sure he and I are on the same page about what constitutes a reasonable Contribution. I don't like to be looked at funny when I am splendoring and sprawling in laziness, which I like to pencil in not infrequently. Or, which tends to happen not infrequently, penciled in or not.
And, will I be treated like a stick-in-the-mud party poop if I feel bloated and don't want to frolick naked sometimes? Will I be treated like a second-class citizen if I just serve you guys your libations, stoke the fire, and keep the music going on those occasions instead? Will you put your cigarettes out in my beans 'n franks, hang your clothes on my head, and start ordering me to do things like go pick up your dry cleaning? Will you laugh at me and use my belongings for firewood?
If I do frolick naked, can I leave my bra or bikini top on at all times? Is that ever seen as a good or acceptable look, like wearing only bottoms can be? Or is it somehow goofy and awkward instead? And most importantly, what's up in the nearest town, when I need to go get away from you fools for awhile? Is there a subway or taxi I can take back to the farmhouse at 4:00 AM?
Yes Karen, I am considering moving to Vermont, and am thinking about starting to pack my bags. But that sharing a bed with you part -- I'm still working on changing my definition of what's enticing to cuddle up with to include kicking, drooling and snoring. And will I need to get a series of shots before I leave?
And hey -- did that girl in The Ring in fact creep you out when she'd start climbing out of the well and coming through the screen? Did me, big time. But that's the kind of movie creeps I enjoy. Good stuff. Like the *original* Nightmare on Elm Street. Can we rent movies like that in Vermont, once our chores are done? Or does it have to be all-porn, all the time? Is the farmhouse haunted maybe, that might be fun.
Or maybe I have to find a New England poster commune for that. Ya know when I was in grade school and used to read those books that swore a haunting really happened somewhere, I used to plan to go find that house and live there awhile to verify it. What does that say about me? Are people like that allowed in Vermont? Will you be afraid to go to sleep at night with me around?
