so its my first jury duty experience. I am sitting here along with 500 other people trying to figure out what to do with myself. luckily I have this handy dandy phone onwhich I can do just about anything. for all you PPC6700 nerds, did you know that you can make you phone a universal remote control?

I wish I could sit here and play oblivion. unfortunately that is one of the few things my phone can't do. although, they do have a mobile version but its not anything close to the real thing.

here is a pic of the jury room. I'm not sure if this is legal but who cares! I'm a rebel!





and here is our christmas tree decorating experience we didn't get to finish because our lights went off but ill post a finished pic in the coming days.

ohhh! looks like I'm being called into a court room.

Anyone who wants to see National Lampoon's Van Wilder: The Rise of Taj, let me know.

I have two "admit two" tickets for Thursday, November 30th @7:pm at Elmwood Regal.


First two to contact me get the tix.

Here's a doggy love fest for you all....

WAIT THERE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE PICTURES WITH THIS ENTRY!

this is the hard work I've been doing all night.

I lucked out on the flowers for the table since the kid at wegmans that was checking me out only scanned one of the tags for the flower arrangement. so instead of it being 25 dollars it was 2.99!

ok, so it looks like there are a lot of people in favor of having an estrip secret santa this year. I will collect everyone's name that wants to participate and give them to a neutral party to randomly assign.


we will exchange gifts during the estrip holiday party at (e:pmt) 's.

Updated: we will keep the price of the gifts to under $20. if anyone has any objections to that price limit, let me know.

so, all that want to participate, please send me a post-it. if you don't i will pester you until you do or until you tell me you are not interested.

let the holidays begin!

Hi ____
 
I read your message and can understand what you're going through. I don't really know what to say other than, I don't really know (e:vycious) except through some friends and now estrip, so it's hard for me to gauge the situation. I can see that you're hurt and I see that he's pissed, and I know that the both of you have two different takes on the same story. I am not on anyone's side. However, the one thing that I have learned as a woman throughout the years, is that when, in the beginning, a man tells you that he does not want a relationship, regardless of how things proceed or what feelings develop, you, the woman, will end up getting hurt in the end. I have learned to take things at face value when it comes to men, and decided that I will not set out to prove them differently or help them change their minds. Doing that, I have found, usually backfires in the end.
 
I was dating a guy last year, one of (e:vycious) ' friends, who initially, said that he wanted nothing more than a sexual
more relationship. He made it clear that he did not want a girlfriend, did not want to fall in love, wanted to see other people, etc. I said fine, no problem. But secretly, as most of us girls do, I hoped that somewhere down the line he might change his mind and so I started a relationship of sorts, and waited to see where it would go.
 
Well, he did change his mind. He did decide that he wanted to make me his girlfriend, he did say he fell in love with me, he did want to be monogamous. So we began officially dating, albeit, somewhat cautiously. I didn't put much hope into the relationship, because I remembered what he initially said to me, and I surely was not going to put all my eggs in one basket. And guess what? I'm glad I didn't, because after about 4 months of official dating, he dumped me. His excuse was that he didn't get to see me enough, and that he felt like he was in a full time relationship with a part time girlfriend and he just could not go on like that. In reality, what had happened was that he realized once again that he DID NOT want a girlfriend after all, DID NOT want to be in a committed relationship and DID NOT love me the way he thought he did.
 
Can't say I didn't see it coming so maybe that is why I didn't shed too many tears or waste any time moping around by being depressed, but it did reconfirm for me the fact that what a guy says to you initially, is probably what he really means and that no matter how much you wish and hope that things will change, they probably will not.
 
I hope things work out for you. If not with vycious, then with someone who will want to be with you and appreciate you completely. I know that it's a little too late for this situation to use the advice I've given here, but think about it for future relationships. Don't waste your time on people who are wishy washy and indecisive. Focus your energies on relationships that are open, caring, trust worthy and honest.
 
I wish you luck on whatever you decide.
 
 Warmly,
 
(e:imk2)
