Well Bluedog?? Did you ask her out???
We're all going to pester you until you act. :-)
Expand your comfort boundaries and talk to the girl!!! Then reward yourself.I can guarantee that she won't bite.
Keep us posted. :-)

Hello Alara
It's nice to hear from you.
Unfortunately I didn't make it into my Yoga class this week because it was on the same day as my mum's birthday so family obligations kept me away.
However, I've checked my calander and I don't appear to have any convenient excuses to skip class next week. SO you'll have to ask me all over again next week. I should have some answers (or not)for you by next weekend.
But a strange thing is happening to me....my arms seem to be morphing into chicken wings.....Do you know if there is a cure for this strange phenomenom?????
If things don't work out between me and Yoga girl would YOU like to go catch a movie or something with me (gee that didn't hurt at all, why was that so easy?) Oh damn, I just realised that you live way on the other side of Australia....Oh well it was worth a try anyway :) :) :).
Now onto MUCH more important things...How are you going nowadays, I've seen a couple of your posts recently and you seem to be doing OK....Is my gut feeling about you doing OK right???
See ya Alara
Warm regards bluedog

Hello lostsailor
Have you ever seen that old movie "The God's Must be Crazy" where the main male character turned into a ridiculous, bumbling idiot whenever he was in the vicinity of a female he found attractive. Well, I could have played that character in that movie and I would not even have needed to act.
But he did get the girl in the end :) :). Do you think REAL life could be like in the movies where the bumbling idiot can get the girl he's attracted to????
By the way (forgive my stupidity), but could you explain what ^5 means in your subject heading after the words askher?
Warm regards
bluedog

It means you've been told over & over to ask her out, goof! Go'on - ask her. She's probably dying witing for you to ask her!

Tut, tut, tut...OK, that's a legitimate excuse this time, but next time BEWARE. :-)

>I would LOVE to catch up with you, Bluedog. OK, maybe it was a little easier for you to ask someone on the net thinking that you're off the hook because that someone lives on the wrong side of the country..Ha ha! But what if I told you I might be flying over to Perth later in the year...? Ha! you can't get out of it now - not unless you get together with yoga girl in the meantime... :-)> Now onto MUCH more important things...How are you going nowadays, I've seen a couple of your posts recently and you seem to be doing OK....Is my gut feeling about you doing OK right???

I'm functioning very well at work. Have settled in and appear to be doing OK in spite of the hectic work load. To be honest, it's a relief to be so busy that I dont' have to spend so much time thinking about myself for once.
I do confess to have fallen off the drinking wagon in the last couple of weeks..I went back to drinking wine and got horrifically drunk on Friday night. (I still have the bruises to show for it...) Hopefully the next thing to go, once and for all, will be my drinking.REPORT IN ABOUT YOGA GIRL RIGHT AFTER THIS WEEK'S CLASS!
Warm regards back,
Alara

By the way, is Madison, WI anywhere near New York (I'm too lazy to look it up on the atlas). My favourite cousin lives in New York with her Hubby and I've been thinking about visiting them for a while. I nearly went last August 2002 but then I got sick and had to cancel my booking because I ran out of annual leave (I used it all up as sick leave) and didn't have the money anymore. I was really disapppointed because my cousin and her Hubby had booked holidays at the same time and we were gonna go touring through the US together (I've never been to the US by the way) I'm aiming to get there maybe this August if I'm well enough.My cousin lives in an apartment right near Central Park (Hubby earns a packet working for a major Wall Street law firm) and I can stay with them free of charge. With the money I save on accommodation I might be able to afford a Greyhound ticket to Madison, WI.
Or would you rather meet in New York...what sort of movies do you like???? Or would a Broadway show be more your style?? :) :).
You'd be the second gay girl I've been on a date with (my buddy at work is the other one....we have lunch in the local asian restaurant across the road from our office every Friday ) and her girlfriend never ever gets jealous about this :) :).
Actually my work buddy and partner are planning to go to San Fransisco to get married in the near future ( Aussie Land does not allow gay weddings) and I've already been invited along (believe it or not she even offered to pay for my flight because of the hardship I've been through with my illness in the last 18 months...but I can't accept a gift like that....I'll pay my own way). Is Madison, WI by any chance closer to San Fransisco than it is to New York (I'm still too lazy to look up the atlas)
I'll give you the time, you let me know the place for our date:)
A big kiss (on the cheek of course)

Bluedog, LOL.
Your questions about the geography of Madison, Wisconsin make me laugh. It reminds me that despite the media we export everywhere, the U.S. still shows a picture to the world in which everyone lives in NYC, Los Angeles, Miami or Seattle.
Hmm. . . according to Mapquest, Central Park in NYC is 947.86 miles(1521.45 km), or 15-1/2 hours of driving, away. San Francisco City College is 2097.65 miles(3377.78 km), or 35 hours of driving away. Either way, that's a long way to go for coffee with a girl. :D
The nearest big city to me is Chicago, Illinois. Wisconsin (the 'dairy' state) is the state directly north of Illinois. I live in the southern part of the state about 3 hours away from Chicago.
Madison has a population of about 200,000 people It's a somewhat liberal outpost in Wisconsin, with a large university. The gay population is quite high compared to other midwestern towns of similar size.
I think your friend should get married _here_. It is cold in winter (Oct-Mar), but much cheaper than San Francisco and still gay-friendly.
When you say Aussie law doesn't allow for same-sex wedding, do you mean that it even disallows same-sex ceremonies of marriage?

Hi Bookie
Gee, and here I was thinking Australia was the centre of the universe:).
> Your questions about the geography of Madison, Wisconsin make me laugh.
Give me some credit...I actually knew that WI stood for Wisconsin even though I didn't know where it was located. Pretty clever aren't I???? I will however ask a very dumb question now....is Madison in Madison County.....like in the book and the Clint Eastwood movie...you know "The Bridges of Madison County"? Or am I making you double over in fits of laughter again?
> Hmm. . . according to Mapquest, Central Park in NYC is 947.86 miles(1521.45 km), or 15-1/2 hours of driving, away. San Francisco City College is 2097.65 miles(3377.78 km), or 35 hours of driving away. Either way, that's a long way to go for coffee with a girl. :D
>Hey I'm flying 3/4 of the way around the world to get to the US so don't think a little 15 hour drive is going to put me off...especially for the right girl. Anyway, to an Aussie in the state in which I live a 1500 Km drive is pretty standard fare.....Ive actually driven that distance a couple of times up north merely for an Easter long weekend holiday. Sounds though like the New York option sounds like the most sensible plan for our date.....are there any nice cities or towns sort of half way between Madison and NYC?...Off the top of my head Boston would be somewhere between those cities wouldn't it? Or maybe even Philadelphia but I've just seen the movie Philadelphia (again) with Tom Hanks and it seems that they don't like gays in Philly either (I'm really testing my geography now and am deliberately refusing to look up a map of the US...I love testing myself like this...or alternatively showing up my ignorance. If I were to look up a map now it would take all the fun out of this for me)
> The nearest big city to me is Chicago, Illinois. Wisconsin (the 'dairy' state) is the state directly north of Illinois. I live in the southern part of the state about 3 hours away from Chicago.
>Ah Hah...I know where Chicago is:) :). Is Madison directly North of Chicago...or is it more North East.....and Detroit is somewhere around there as as well isn't it???? (The Great Lakes region right??...now I'm really testing my geography!!!!) Is Milwaukee also somewhere in that region....I'm sure that's where where they made that old TV series "Laverne and Shirley". Am I right?
>
> I think your friend should get married _here_. It is cold in winter (Oct-Mar), but much cheaper than San Francisco and still gay-friendly.
>Is the deep South also gay-friendly?????....I've heard this rumour that they are particularly tolerant of black homosexuals in the deep south :) {don't answer this question because it may lead down the path of stereotypes again :) :)} I hear it's much warmer in the deep south though but maybe just a little steamy/muggy/humid.
> When you say Aussie law doesn't allow for same-sex wedding, do you mean that it even disallows same-sex ceremonies of marriage?
>Very interesting question. Aussie land is a free and democratic country so they can't stop same sex ceremonies but they simply don't have any legal force or standing in the eyes of the law. Some christian demoninations even (officially) allow gay priests here I think. I must ask my friend about your questions. I have a day off work tomorrow but I will speak to her on Wednesday and ask her about this! However the "bible bashers" usually get pretty hot under the collar about the whole subject and will usually come out in force if they hear about a same sex ceremony and let the individuals involved know that they will "BURN IN HELL".
It's quite funny at work because I have a colleague who is very strongly religious and makes it clear to everyone that my lesbian friend will burn in hell when she dies.... but has never actually said this to my friend directly......which I might add she finds extremely amusing. In fact he is as nice as pie and ultra polite when speaking directly with my friend....I actually think he's scared of her because she has a very strong personality and is a natural leader that people tend to gravitate towards.
Certain States in Australia are more liberal about the whole gay issue than other states and it also depends on whether there is a Liberal State government in power (equivalent to the US Republican party......actually the Liberal party is a rather strange name for this particular political party because it is actually a conservative party and not at all liberal in the normal sense of the word) or a Labour state government in power (equivalent to the US democrats) Basically the Labour Party is far more tolerant towards issues of gay rights. However same sex marriages are not yet given official legal recognition...though I suspect it will only be as matter of time before at least some states will officially recognise the practice.
Keep well booky
A big kiss on your other cheek now
