can men and women be friends?
kinda irritated right now... this guy i've been friends with for about a year, we met through mutual friends.

anyway, i guess he likes me or something like that. i'm not interested in dating right now, and he just isn't my type. i told him that we wren't going to be hooking up and that he should care enough about me to atill want to be my friend.

he went off on me about how i don't like him because he isn't an MD or a professional athlete and he doesn't have tons of money. this is insane, i have dated a few drs and have met a few pro athletes. neither of the situations were anything major and he just seems so insecure and angry for whatever reason that he keeps bringing up these other men.

the fact is, i date who i like and most of the men i've dated are normal people who don't have tons of money. i am a normal person... not looking for a superstar, just someone who is a superstar to me! then he brings up how he isn't hot enough blah blah blah, this guy is a jerk.

i date who i like... and i don't want to date right now because i'm kinda heartbroken over someone and i have too many family things and work and school to deal with.

anyway, there is someone i'd love to date but probably never will. i'd rather have him as a friend then try to convince him he needs to date me... that is how you can tell if someone is genuine.

hey (e:paul), dancing last night was great!!!!!! tons of fun but so tired today! can't wait to get to blo and have a dancing night with you!!!!

Oh, and it's my personal rule that if one of those conditions are not met (and of course they are not family), I do all that I possibly can to "unfriend" them in the real life context - mostly by ceasing contact and getting more and more unavailable. Failure to do this inevitably results in misery and unresolved feelings - both pretty uncomfortable situations.
tinypliny - 09/06/10 12:39
I think they can only if one/both of them don't feel entitled and possessive of the other and are (funny as this might sound) - slightly distanced emotionally from the other's affairs. Goes for any kind of friendship, actually. Family are friends with the emotional distance = zero.

I always ask can gay men and straight men be friends? So far, the answer seems like yes. Maybe its harder with women.

sunglasses=not a headband
why do people wear their sunglasses as a headband? i hate it. i even see people wearing sunglasses headband at night when there is no sun???

still miss blo, talked to (e:paul) last night which makes me miss it more. i can't plan a trip right now though because i am moving soon and starting a new position plus school.

anyway, i dread a winter trip, but that looks like what it might be...

going out dancing tonight... do i need a new fancy something???
tinypliny - 09/12/10 16:45
Surely, you know the answer to that. :::link:::
paul - 09/05/10 22:55

paul - 09/05/10 10:40

happy birfday terryberry!
Sorry I'm late, madness has ensued this week...

I have no photos of you because my evil hard drive crashed and deleted them all, I will however offer you a photo of (e:hodown), my cousin and a pony, three things all birthday boys wish for.

Miss you peach and will hopefully be seeing you on this or that side of the country very soon...

anna wintour and the september issue
for those of you who know of vogue/anna wintour, the documentary 'the september issue' is most definitely a must see!

pretty sure (e:hodown) has been on me to watch this forever, but i forgot and then it was on netflix streaming last night...

the world of vogue and fashion is so intense, they make putting out an issue seem the world's most challenging task.

i recommend (e:matthew) watch this, he will be able to appreciate the beauty and madness.

anna wintour, insists she is not an ice woman, but the only person in the fillm i see her show a softer side to is her daughter. is an hour plus of her simply saying yes or no to the who's who of the fashion world and seeing her wishes put into action.

fashion really is wearable art, and to see the amount of effort these people put into their craft is inspiring, makes me think i need to find something i am passionate about.

i want to find something that i love so much it makes me feel alive... not that i don't feel alive, but that feeling when you first get off the ski lift and you head down the hill...

off to watch the rest of anna and her crew. then to get a massage, i love this sunday!
