I think the same thing every day, Ellie.

And Rose, I haven't gotten any play since november 19, 2002. I'm under the solemn belief that if certain orifices don't get used after some time, they just grow closed.

Two years, huh? What's keeping you? There is always your lovely fiance, though.

I've been unwillingly single since last September. And it really sucks.

Cybersex is SOOO 1994, hun.

What's keeping me? No idea. Actually, I have some idea, and it's sad.

I've really gotta pick up that book "He's Just Not That Into You", written by a consultant/writer on Sex and the City.

Well, when you type like that, it's not hard to see the C potential.

i've been on that site before!

you know, for my high school newspaper, i came up with a list of 22 ways you know you're in IB. lemme see if i can find them. (And you know, the ones on that site are all true. Start loving the bags under your eyes, Som.)

'nother confirmed singleton here...my last beau turned out to be a right ho.
And Type_A_Tiff, it didn't work out for Miranda, so any other ideas?

[Rose_MacShane]

Posted: 10/12/04 at 12:54am

So was mine. Actually, he was more of a jerk. He liked to picked me up and carry me around like a doll, just for kicks. That was a mercifully short-lived affair.

oh is this a relationship thread now? hmm it's supposed to be a thread for the teens, and I hate jail.

[Rose_MacShane]

It's about angst, and I can't think of a subject that creates more angst than relationships, can you?

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 10/12/04 at 12:56am

DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON MIRANDA!

In my little group, I'm referred to as "the Miranda" and I've always found I've related more to Cynthia and Miranda more than any other actress/character. I'm cynical, bitchy, heading towards a law career and tend to go for jewish guys like steve (who's adorable - actually my asshole ex was a jewish guy named steve). And then Cynthia was outed and I'm alone, going, "Who am I?" LOL

Ladies, we must all pick up this book, read it and discuss. It's getting so much hype now, and apparently it's much different than any other self-help book out there!

i've worked like hell since my last big messy breakup not to let dating issues affect my overall outlook or mood too much. it's hard though, you're right. back in the day i was like a hormone experiment gone wrong with my mood swings.

[Ellie3]

Posted: 10/12/04 at 1:04am

Well that's your lovelife sorted then, Tiff! All you have to do is find a sweet female education fundraiser, and BINGO! you're happy! And yes, I'll take one Steve, please.

oh i'll love you. quit beating about olde relationships, they only make you stronger ive been reading too many plays and stories about relationships this semester so far and ive learned that they always end in heart break but then you have that rebound when you find love that universal 'get out of jail card' but it takes a while to find anything thats good espically with late teens and early twenty aged people they can deal with anything nothing simple. everything has to be so complex, they, the adults, say we cant love anybody but that a bold faced lie we can love and express feelings.

Posted: 10/12/04 at 1:08am

ahhhh, has there ever been a more perfect match than the jewish guy with the asian girl? don't think too hard, the answer is no.

[musicalmjk]

Posted: 10/12/04 at 1:16am

furthermore i think that the word like means nothing in this day in age except when used as a comparison "this tastes like chicken" or when asking for something, "i'd like 4 tickets to go see..." After youve spent a day with someone you love them, you care for them they become part of you family. even if you hate someone you still care for them, its part of human nature. No one should look for someone to love look for someone who will care for you, and respect you. Care and respect that what to look for in a relationship. None of you will listen to my advice but i put it out there for everyone's benefit.

tell me that was sarcasm, matt.

[Broadway Matt]

Posted: 10/12/04 at 1:39am

actually not at all. i'm constantly being surprised at how often the two are drawn to each other. rarely the other way around but, to steal a true but dirty double entendre-

"Jews love to eat out Chinese"

I was created from such a pairing! and every member of my asian side that "went white" is an asian female with a white jewish guy. i can think of 5 or so other couples off the top of my head that have found the adage to be true.

why'd you think it was sarcastic Tiff? bad experience?

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 10/12/04 at 2:10am

yeah, you could say that. the guy i dated was a self-identified jew, but he was technically half jewish, half christian (something about being whisked off at a young age to be baptised behind his dad's back), and since he used to live in china (his dad's work), he's fluent in mandarin. so when we ate out chinese (literally, not figurately), he would do the ordering and i'd sit there politely. kinda sad. i will not let the experience taint my opinion on dating jewish guys but it was funny going to the hillel house for socials and being the only colored gal there.

I've got two interracial couples in my family - chinese women with an east indian man and a greek man. those family reunions are a laugh and a half (and GREAT food!).

lalala...I have joined the ranks of the angst ridden teens and 20-somethings. Let AngstFest 2004-05 begin!

Posted: 10/12/04 at 3:22am

Angst is defined as anxiety, aprehension or insecurity. I'm wondering what it is that you all have those feelings about?
