I Enjoy Being A Girl- Page 168

HI ladies,

Sorry I haven't been around...work is crazy busy these days. Not sure if I mentioned it here, but I signed up for a fiction writing class and I've been so exhausted from work that I haven't even started writing my 10 page paper due this coming Monday. SO...I took a vacation day yesterday and wrote all day. It was heaven! Laying on the couch in sweats, writing all day. Sigh...I wish that I could do that everyday.

Oh and you might remember me talking about the 43 year old guy I met a couple of weeks ago and how frustrating it was that he was still wrapped up in his crazy 25 year old ex? Well, I wasn't sure if he'd ever contact me again, but he wound up calling me Saturday afternoon. I was busy in the afternoon but we wound up hanging out in the evening. Well...since we are painfully honest in this thread...we ended up getting it on...twice. Heh.
So I slept over and in the morning we were awake but just relaxing. And after about 20 minutes of me working up the nerve to make a move...I did...and was rejected! Ugh. That has never happened to me before. And hello? It was OK 6 hours ago but not now? He gave me more crap about how he wasn't emotionally ready.. blah blah blah. I was just embarrassed at that point. I think my actual response when he told me he didn't want to was "wah..wah..." LOL. Anyway, a little later he walked me to the train and was all "I'm in no position to be in a relationship..blah blah blah..." Well, not like I'm jumping on board this dysfunctional train, don't cha worry. We're just going to be friends...with benefits?
Alas, the sex was the best I've had in YEARS.. Oh, cruel world!

Newgirl, I don't know why but that story had me rolling!!!!! OMG no offense to this supposedly "emotionally wounded" fella, but good grief man grow a back bone!!!! You just had sex TWICE and you're still yammering on about your emotional state?! I'm all for equality and that whole "It's Ok for a man to cry" bit, but how are you still "broken up about it" after not one but 2 rolls in the proverbial hay!!!! I for one would be overjoyed that someone put up with my bitching long enough for *cough* the events that transpired.

It's one thing to be rebuffed, but the morning after? Who refuses the hat trick bright and early? C'mon!!! And your reaction "Wah..wah..?" is sooooo classic. I would have done the same thing, thinking the entire time "Really? So you're saying no. I'm scantily clad, basically gift wrapped, or unwrapped so to speak, and you're bowing out and saying uh-uh....to all of THIS? What's a girl gotta do around here?!"

Well either way at least you're back on the horse again (Yes in the dirty way)

Piano- good luck!

Newgirl- WHAAAAAAT?! This guy has no clue what he wants. I'd say it's better if you just stay away from now on. But at least you got some great sex out of it.

Tofu- Everything you post makes me love you.

Exactly, tofu. Exactly.

I told my friend the other day "I had to make out with him just to shut him up!" Heh.
Honestly, he's a sweet guy, and I'm obviously attracted to him. But, I'm starting to see why the ex went crazy!

HAha, I love you girls! For some reason that reminded me of something that happened at school the other day...
I was on one of the computers and there was this guy a couple seats down that kept starring at me. He was more creepy then cute so I ignored him, but when I got up to leave he was all like "Why don't you come over here, tell me your name and sit on my lap!"
I just started laughing and walked away.

Guys are weird, weird creatures....

thanks BB! My partner and I rocked that presentation!

"Guys are weird, weird creatures...."
This is SO very true!

[blondebaby589]

Posted: 4/16/09 at 12:59pm

I'm glad your presentation went well Piano!

Kels- I'm glad you laughed it off haha that sounds really creepy!

And while we're on the topic of guys, the most GORGEOUS sales rep just came into our office for a meeting. HE IS BEAUTIFUL! Ugh! I'm tearing through our system trying to find out which vendor he represents, but my stalking skills are failing me. Damn.

Newgirl, that is BRUTAL!! I think I might have just punched him in the face.

Crazy, crazy boys/men!!!! And btw, what guy passes up morning sex?

Track him down, BB!! Hurry up!

[withoutlovewithoutU]

Posted: 4/16/09 at 1:12pm

Gaaa! I just found out that John Cleese is teaching at Cornell again! I am such a Monty Python geek and I live 5 seconds from campus.... must track him down! Lol.

[clever name]

Posted: 4/16/09 at 1:12pm

who refuses the hat trick..LOL, tofu!

seriously newgirl, please, please, PLEASE tell me you will blow this guy off next time he calls. What a douche.


BB..waiting for the hot guy update. GO GET HIM!!!

[killertofu333]

Posted: 4/16/09 at 1:15pm

Kels, that is one of the many things I will Nuh-EVER understand about men!!! Has that tactic ever gotten them ASS? I mean seriously a "Hey baby sit on my lap" is supposed to magically make clothing disappear and get you revved up?! WTF? This video says it all for me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpIDu56M8p0

BB, make it happen I know you can do it. Nancy Drew the SH*T out of him girl!!!

[lusciouslace]

Posted: 4/16/09 at 1:25pm

You are all right! He's nuts! And exactly...who passes up morning sex???

tofu- God girl you are too funny.

[blondebaby589]

Posted: 4/16/09 at 1:27pm

LOL I love you girls. I stalked him down. His name is Joe McKee and he's a manufacturing and consultants rep for USC Consultants Group. The only reason I was able to find him in our system was because on his way out he introduced himself LOL So much for my amazing Nancy Drew skills.

Oh and I agree with danmag. Who turns down morning sex?


EDIT: OMG ANOTHER ONE JUST WALKED IN! WHAT IS GOING ON TODAY?!!? LOL all the sales reps are usually old and creepy! I think I like today a lot.

newgirl, that is downright unacceptable. There is no reason a man should ever turn down something like that. What the hell could have possibly happened between night and morning that would make him come to term with his "emotions?" Lame, lame, lame. At least now you know that he's nuts and can make sure you don't get hurt again. And great sex is always, well, great. As someone who pretty much only involves herself in dysfunctional ****-buddy relationships (unhealthy, I know), I feel your pain!

bb, reps were always smokin' where I used to work. Tuesdays were my favorite, that's when they'd come in. That's how they sell things, don't-cha-know!

withoutlove, I'm appropriately jealous. John Cleese is beyond awesome.

[blondebaby589]

Posted: 4/16/09 at 2:41pm

It's just strange to me because after over a year of working here I've only come across one semi-cute sales rep until today. I did my stalking: this one's name is Jerry Thomas from Dart Container. I even found his cell number hahaha but I'd never use it.

BB, since you go to the gym too you might understand this little piece of drama. Per usual I started my workout on the treadmill, lifted weights, got on a bike and back to the treadmill. Now mind you I looked cute going into the gym but by the time my last 10 minutes on the treadmill came 'round I looked a hot, awful, bedraggled, sweaty, "What the f*ck was that?" MESS!!!! Of course no one looks "stunning" when they workout but today I decided to use an incline & speed program that quite literally kicked my ass into oblivion and it showed. I was rockin' out to some Tears for Fears and I may have sung a verse out loud by accident too.

Anyway, the next thing I know this SUPER SUPER cute brunette is on the treadmill next to me even though there were plenty of unoccupied machines on the other end. So not only am I sweating from this god awful workout but now I'm really drenched because I realize how terrible I look and how amazing she looks. So I just smile and keep running hoping to just leave and shower and look a bit more presentable. After I finish I grab my crap and turn to leave but she says (in so many words) "Wow that looked hard...my boyfriend could learn a thing or two from you..." I was flattered by the compliment then I got snarky and thought to myself "Yeah I bet I could teach your BF a few things..." I just smiled said thank you and came straight home. A) I looked and felt like sh*t. B) She looked great and had a boyfriend. The hottest people always come to the gym when you yourself are no longer hot plus they're unavailable!!! Just another bite out of the CRAP sammich that is my life.

Actually now after all that running I'm really hungry and I think I'll go make a sandwich......mmmmmm turkey

Oh man, I'm having health issues right now. It's only a cold, and I'm on the "getting better! " end of it right now, but it's a terrible chesty cough cold. And the thing about chesty cough colds is that if I go anywhere near cigarette smoke, I literally can't breathe. Which didn't used to be a problem except now I live with two smokers. *dies!* They're very responsible smokers and do it outdoors and the inside of our house just smells like a house (with a bit of kitty poop on the side; I need to do some litter scooping!), but if I catch even a whiff of smoke, I stop breathing.

I feel like one of those super-obnoxious people who feels it's their duty to cough and glare whenever they see a smoker, like the smoker isn't already fully aware of the health risks or anything. Like a total heel!

Also, I just started growing tomatoes, and it's going FAR better than I expected! This time last week, I had a tray of compost with some seeds in it somewhere. Today, I have over one hundred little green seedlings varying in height from 1cm to 5cm. I have magic green fingers!

I always feel like I'm coming to every conversation late, hence the non-sequiturs. Sorry y'all. Get thee to a decent time zone! :P

I'm having a total FML day and not enjoying being a girl very much at all, really.

Problem #1: I'm pretty sure I have a huge crush on a guy I hang out with. We are fairly good friends - not like "call you in the middle of the night" friends, more like "it's okay if I tongue you onstage during a show or we spend an entire party grinding exclusively with each other because we are just that friendly," but still. The problem lies in that we have very little in common interest-wise - we share a birthday and a love for Stephen Colbert and the Lonely Island, but that's about where it ends, and he is VERY good friends with one of my best friends and I get the idea that if given the choice between the two of us, he'd go for her every time. (To paraphrase Arrested Development, "That's like comparing prime rib with weird-friend-of-prime rib.")

Problem #2: I hate - hate hate hate - being a 16-year-old college student/"professional actor." Regardless of whatever Hannah Montana says, you do not in any way get the best of both worlds. In fact, would you like to know what my world consists of right now? Studying and auditions, because my mother has recently decreed that since one of my best friends is supposedly a "bad influence," I am not to associate with her in any way. Which means the party that me and Prime Rib Friend whom I mentioned in the rant above have been planning for ages? Yeah, I'm not allowed to go to that anymore, because Bad Influence Friend will be there. She's totally part of our group and I really do love her, which makes this even harder, because I can't realistically just hang out with everyone else and not include her. It's just so stressful, because honestly? What am I going to do? I'm not going to get drunk, just because I don't like the idea of giving up control in a situation like that, and I KNOW all the "rules" about taking Facebook pictures, etc. - how suggestive photos can come back to bite you on the ass and all that jazz. It's just incredibly frustrating to me that I'm basically being restricted from hanging out with my best friends because my mother doesn't realize that I'm not easily influenced and am indeed capable of making my own decisions.

Sorry for the rant, guys, but this is the only account of mine that my mom doesn't have complete access to (she reads everything - Facebook, Myspace, Livejournal, Twitter, you name it) and I needed to get all of this out. UGH.

Holy jeez VTG, your momma's got you on serious lockdown!!!! You may as well wear an orange jumpsuit and join a chain gang cuz it doesn't sound like you're going anywhere any time soon. This may sound crazy but maybe you should have a sit-down talk with your mom about how responsible you've been thus far and that she can trust you in the future as well. Although, I'm 22 and I still catch "it" from my family about certain things that I do or don't do, so take what I say with a teeny tiny grain of salt.

And uh what the heck?! You're in college and an actor all at 16? Wow my self image just plummeted a couple points.

Re. the acting thing... yeah, but it's not really as exciting as it sounds. I've done some commercials and a few smallish projects, but the business is so bloody slow right now that I've been doing theatre over the past few months just to stay loose/creative (I'm doing a production of Dog Sees God over the summer, actually, which is going to be really exciting. But that's another story.).

Tofu, I would love to be able to do that. Thing is, though, I've tried to have those sit-downs on average of about twice a year and nothing I say or do makes any difference. I'm not allowed to date, have someone under the age of 21 drive me anywhere, or even make a prank call with one of my friends (I know that sounds ridiculous, but I got hell for it when she saw the charges online). Her excuse is always that it's "for my own safety," but the thing is, I know tons of people my age who are in the business and get to lead totally normal lives and don't have to worry about all this stupid stuff. There doesn't need to be this huge trade-off, but she's not going to budge, so I'm honestly done trying to reason with her.
