Wow, Tofu. I'm sorry you have to go through all that. My hub's family is super-religious as well and would do the same thing to one of their children. It breaks my heart. Just remember that we're all here for you and will support you in any way we can. ::snugs::

Ohhh, Tofu, I can't imagine how it must be for you to go through that. You're such a fantastic, interesting, funny, and cool person, and don't ever let anyone tell you that God doesn't love you.

I seriously can't thank you guys enough for your kindness and support. I wanna give you all a huge hug...and maybe grope 1 or 2 of you in "not-so-nice ways" as long as you promise not to call the cops on me .

Ok so yesterday was a slight blithering, giddy schoolgirl disaster for me despite the fact that I think I'm the only one that noticed it. I was at work and saw a girl through the glass about to walk into my establishment. Well being a girl, and I know I can't be alone on this one, I noticed almost everything about her in maybe 4 seconds. I'm 5'9" so just from looking at her I guessed she was probably around 5'11" or 6' tall which is good because I'd rather be the shorter of the two. Curly dirty blonde hair pulled back in a sloppy bun...HOT!!! Legs for days and other "things" that caught my attention, I won't elaborate but you get the idea. At the time I was helping a customer with whatever they hell they wanted when I saw her and needless to say I was a wee bit distracted. I finished with the first customer and literally rushed to the front door to let the girl in which I didn't have to do but I wanted a closer look. Good Lord she had gorgeous brown eyes!!! This happened after I tripped over my own sneakers and damn near took out a vase on the way. Luckily she didn't make me feel like a total ass and just chuckled and offered me her hand. She smelled like mangoes or papayas or something. All this sounds crazy, I know, but I have that weird ability to notice a whole hell of a lot in a short amount of time. She complimented my shoes, which are simply the most comfortable Chuck's ever created and she asked me to point her in the right direction for something. Now if I was a better woman I wouldn't have watched her walk away but I'm terrible and I have wandering eyes soooo.... After a while I didn't really have other crap to do so I traipsed around for a bit. Then I saw her in one of the far aisles and sorta kinda but in a completely non-skeevy way stalked her but she caught me and I bolted to the break room. Color me MORTIFIED!!!! I went back up to the front and was talking to a co-worker when I saw she was about to walk out the door. My co-worker was 100% in mid-sentence when I just blurted out and said "Have a nice day and your purse is really cute!!" So LAAAAMMMMEEEE!!!!! Not only did I practically scream at the poor girl but my voice cracked a little too so I sounded like a love struck 12 year old boy. UGH I was clearly a lil' smitten!!! She smiled, thanked me and said that she'd be back the next day. Unfortunately I didn't work the same hours today as the day before so I didn't see her which is just as well cuz I for sure would have swallowed my own foot or accidentally slapped her in the face and done even more embarrassing sh*t. HahZah!!!!

"accidentally slapped her in the face"
^I am DYING over this mental image. It's okay, tofu. These things happen to the best of us. I did something similar the other day when a hot guy at work asked me which color shirt he should buy. I went into a completely unnecessary diatribe about he could pull off the burgundy because of his "coloring" and "so many guys don't want to wear that shade" and blahblahblahawholelotofotherthingsguysdon'tcareabout. I think I was shouting, too. He ran out of there so fast.

tofu -- totally happens to the best of us.. i'd come up with an anecdote but i can't think of one right now :X

my friend called me last night to tell me this guy i went on a date with in high school was talking about it while drunk... even though it was like... 4 years ago? 5 maybe? AND then she turned to the fact that I never went on another date. and she was like talking about how weird it was my first and only date... I'm going to bed before I dwell on that too much, oof.

Tofu, don't worry about it. It definitely happens. In my case, it tends to happen with actors. Since I'm married and know that I would never actually make a move for any of them, I tend to abandon all pretense of poise and aloofness in front of people I think are very, very pretty. And then I remember that they don't know I'm married and often think I'm coming on to them in really obvious ways and end up awkward and embarrassed.

And, shh, if it makes you feel any better, I have *never* been on a date or kissed anyone other than my hub. I met my husband online (well, we went to the same high school, but we started chatting online a while before we started hanging out in real life). By the time we wanted to take the step to real life, we were already deeply committed and kind of skipped the "dating" part. Or, rather, I did. He had already dated 8 other girls. A fact that still bothers me to this day.

Mauriposa, you've never kissed anyone other than your husband?

Man I feel like a slut.

So do I, Stock. So do I.

[justagirl2]

Posted: 7/15/09 at 7:54am

Me too! On top of all my random liaisons (of which there are MANY) and guys I've dated, I also think I've made out with every single one of my male friends at some point, gay or straight. Two of my female friends have snuck in there too. HA.

[danmag]

Posted: 7/15/09 at 7:58am

I'm changing the thread title to "I Enjoy Being a Slut".

Just kidding, of course. (in my case it would have to be "I Enjoyed Being a Slut".)

[justagirl2]

Posted: 7/15/09 at 8:02am

LOL! I enjoy it!

[blondebaby589]

Posted: 7/15/09 at 8:06am

Thank God you're back Tofu! I'm so sorry about what you're going through. We all love you and you're a wonderful person. Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise.

Danmag, I'm dying. Hilarious.

I also have an awkward guy story to throw into the mix. We had our Curly understudy go on 2 nights last weekend and he was GORGEOUS! (And straight! Woo!) The kiss in the ballet was pretty hot, I'm not gonna lie. So after his last show that weekend, we were all sitting around and I was realllly flirting with the understudy. And at one point when I asked him how old he was (he's 23 btw), he said "How old are you? Like 16?" Talk about a bruised ego. I stopped trying after that LOL

[danmag]

Posted: 7/15/09 at 8:08am

Maybe he likes younger women, BB??

[blondebaby589]

Posted: 7/15/09 at 8:25am

If that's the case, he's a pedophile. LOL

Tofu, your stories are really the best.

So, speaking of being weird and shameless-- here comes a typical seventeen-year-old story. As I've mentioned a million times, I've liked the same guy for years. But before him, I liked another guy for about a year, and he was the only other guy I've really liked.

Now, here's the thing-- I was only in sixth grade then. You would not expect a sixth-grade crush to have any lingering effects. But I hadn't seen him since sixth grade, until last year's homecoming (when I went with the guy who I like NOW-- they go to the same high school), and we only talked for a few minutes. But last week, I found him on facebook, and I kept trying to decide whether I should friend him or not, and I chickened out... and then last night, I randomly had a dream that he was my boyfriend! Now, is that bizarre or what?

Tofu!!! You're back! I'm so glad that you're safe and healthy, but I'm sorry you have to deal with the stuff with your family. The struggle between faith and being your real self is hard! I'm so sorry.

BUT- I'm glad you liked my PM...I think I seriously need some help! Haha...but I'm so glad to know that I'm not the only person who turns into a giddy and awkward klutz around someone I like. This girl gets my brain to turn to mush in about five seconds. Although she knows she does and purposely lays it on thick cause she knows she can fluster me. I'm soooo bad at flirting when it matters. I'm good at flirting with gay men and that's it. But she says that doesn't count because EVERYBODY is good at flirting with gay men. Damn it. Haha. Ohhhh Tofu I have so much to tell you. Hahaha.

I just want to say, though, that we love you for who you are. And we think that God does, too. I'm sorry you can't be honest with your family, but you can always be honest with us and we'll still love you all the same. :)

My old roomate and I tried to count how many guys we had each hooked up with in our lives one time and we couldn't even do it. And that was in 1992.

[blondebaby589]

Stock, I just attempted to count and failed. My mother would be proud.
