It's kind of funny to watch some of the foreign govt's where they literally come to blows discussing issues...ok that sounds mean...but it is kinda funny
Dan just can't detach! Geeze, that was a old story two years ago, and a crock besides!
Sometimes I think the conservatives are paranoid because they know what they'd do if they had half a chance. Not you, BBJ!
People at the far end of the spectrum, either way, strike me as dangerous. And the way our system has evolved, they are the ones that get heard the most, on both sides. The 75% in the middle have largely lost their voice, in my opinion. Still better than the alternatives, though!
I am just glad that the people are finding their voice, on either side of the aisle, instead of sitting back and being apathetic.
So it gets better...he calls to tell the kids goodnight, has Nathan give me the phone. Asks re. the email as I never did reply. I told him I was a little insulted he thought I would care about that "birther" crap. First, he didn't know what "birther" meant so I had to explain. Then he said, not at all, he sent it bc HE was interested in the story! So I had to tell him it was a phony...then he asked if I had read his Mitt book yet. Ummmm since you gave it to me Friday, and it is Tuesday, I am gonna say NO, not yet!
Oh and then after kids in bed I opened my wine and sat down for Glee. It was so awesome....how can one show cover The Beatles, All American Rejects, Lionel Richie, The Doors, all in one hour!?! Plus the cheerleader twins/couple had me cracking up! But Sue doing Vogue at the end was priceless. Can't wait to watch it again next week!
Oh and during Glee R started texting. He said he was thinking of me way too much when he was supposed to do other stuff....
so I told him to imagine me in a Snuggie and start thinking about World Hunger instead...
Ok I might be a little sassy............ But he laughed...wonder if there is a treatment plan for sarcasm addicts--but I don't think I really want to change! I think we have a date tomorrow...last I knew he asked when I was free, I gave him two days, and he replied "Wednesday"...
I did tell him tonight that if he ever wanted any of his thoughts to have a snowball's chance of coming to fruition, there would be dates required...gotta have those boundaries and this girl is not booty call material!
Quote from the two cheerleaders attached at the hip on Glee to the guy they asked on a date (together!):
You knew the deal when we asked you out. You pay for dinner, we let you watch us make out...oh and could you just go wait in the car? But leave your credit card...
Now how is that for being direct?
I say this bc that dang John (love ya John!) went and got me thinkin', and I don't like having to do that!
My knee-jerk reaction when he asked on his own thread why women are so concerned about something looking like a booty call when it's not is that we don't want to look like sluts. But then, I am thinking, in whose eyes? As long as we know what we are, should that matter?
But then my next thought was, I want to make it clear it is not a booty call because I want it to MEAN something if I mess around with a guy...
But here's the weird part...
As soon as I said that to myself, my brain piped in--"Ummm....no you don't. You are just ready for some action after a 2 yr hiatus!"
So my head called bullsh!t on me...
I guess when it comes to finding THE one, down the road, I love the idea of taking things slow, having those sweet romantic "baby steps" as you work your way toward falling in love...
But at the same time I am not ready for the next ONE in my life yet. I want to be able to laugh, flirt, kiss, tease, and have fun and not feel like I am locked into the next Mr. BBJ....so I suppose I want more than a booty call but less than a serious relationship...
well..I started to answer on John's thread then thought I would let the women tackle that one..
IMO the feelings you are having are quite natural..the majority probably has them..
I'm glad you called Bullchitt on yourself...saved me from calling it on you..
you're moving right along...as you should..

So.....isn't that called dating?
in Tennessee, what you describe above is referred to as dating..unless it involves, cousins, animals or the making of meth..

Ok that last part was a joke, but not really, kind of sad actually! Cause I dated old bf (hot hometown plumber now) for 10 months as a high school sophomore/junior.
I dumped him on a Thursday night, told the kids @ Quiz Bowl about it Friday morning, and Dan called and asked me out that Friday night. Apparently he had been checking me out for months (I was cheerleading captain so he saw me cheer and I was friends with his sis) and even had teased first bf that he was going to wind up with me...we didn't go out that night but started dating 2 weeks later and were on-off ever since then until now...
You know when I was in college and Dan and I would fight and break up, I think I only went on 2 'dates'...the typical thing instead was to notice a cute guy in class/at frat house/whatever, flirt with him whenever we were around each other, hang out in groups with other people at the bar/party/whatever, and then eventually wind up making out/playing around one night after being out till the early hours...and I had absolutely no problem with it at the time, I just thought it was fun!
Still not sure on the whole sex enchilada, but playing is good!

For some reason I read "moving right along" and I am having a vague flashback to some Muppet Movie song?
I almost laughed out loud in the car this morning, cause my brain rarely calls "bs" on me but today it pretty much put me in my place...
Oh, and Mikey, in Southwest Iowa, sometimes messing with livestock and/or cooking Meth IS the date....so I hear... Lots of little meth factories around here unfortunately...
