Okay, grrlie. You come visit, we go to KOC and knock everybody on their asses with "Take Me or Leave Me" from RENT. Deal?

Time to switch to Schlitz or Olympia. And throw another log in the hot tub stove.

I agree. I'm jealous of it. I tried my damnedst to be included last summer, worked my ass off on the art car several whole Saturdays. What I don't understand is why you speak of this community with such love as an inclusive, awe-inspiring group yet don't understand that I DON'T FEEL LIKE I BELONG. I loved decompression, but more for the vampire bar than the massage (which was great).

And I never said I didn't get the hugging. I do get it. Please, please don't ever accuse me of not wanting to understand you or things you do. I want that more than anything. Maybe I'm inept at it, but I do want to understand. And I'm certainly a lot more sensitive than you make me out to be here.

Please, please don't air our dirty laundry in such a public place. Does anyone here get me at all that I feel so sad when it seems he spends more time with ya'all than with me and our three kids? Is that a crime that I'm insecure? And, the real question, is why ... why are you with me if you despise me so much?

I'm so sad she ever read this and wonder why I put myself through this ... and getting farther and farther away ... Maybe I need to be working harder on writing the last chapter of this mystery for myself and my kids instead of wondering for so long what your answer to the mystery is.

Grinchie-Pooh, the saddest person on the planet right now.

geekster wrote:grinche-pooh doesn't understand the whole burning man thing at all. She thinks it's weird. When she sees me on eplaya she asks if I am talking to my "pretend internet friends" again. It hurts sometimes ... I let it pass. Not understanding is one thing, not even wanting to understand is something else. I have taken her to a few local events. She liked decompression 'cause she got a nice massage at Heebeegeebee's but didn't get "all that hugging and stuff" at a local gathering at someone's house. It actually made her pretty jealous because she wasn't getting any even though I introduced her to everyone I knew. I tried to explain that in order for that to happen she would have to actually stand up, walk over, and interact with people. Maybe I will keep trying, maybe there is a reason the horse still hasn't moved. That is the great mystery for 2005.

Well... I didn't nail my scrotum to the floor as promised (although that is still an option, but now my computer is doing it for me. Okay, computer geeks, here's Sammy's problem: My computer won't open links. What gives? I've checked the "Internet Options" place, and there is nothing there that covers this. I checked 'troubleshooting' but that mostly has to do with dial ups. I've just installed a HP printer/scanner and the trouble started after that... what the fuck gives? If you have a reply, PM me, please... don't post it here (or someone else may nail my scrotum to the floor). Shit... also, I have something there now that highlights words (like "work" and "ticket" and those links take me to some fucked up search engine. What the fuck has happened to my computer????

Kristines... it's all about compatability, and that takes work on both people's parts.... don't worry about what anyone here thinks... everyone here comes as themselves and leaves as themselves and they are judged accordingly... Period. There are ladies here who have met me and think I'm a jerk (I agree) while everyone else thinks I'm the sweetest old thing that ever stumbled into this bar (I also agree)... which means... uhhhh... well... fuck, I don't know what that means.... I think it means I need a scotch...

... I'm just going to sit under the neverending blanket and suck my thumb (in lieu of a breast) for a while....

speaking of scrotums,

last year there was this guy earning his drinks at a bar by performing a disturbing trick. He would take out his sack and stretch it out over his plastic cup and then use it as a finger drum and play a little tune.

yowza

Sorry... scotch for me... or a good merlot... or a cheep merlot...

Kristines · Post by **Kristines** » Wed Jan 05, 2005 4:39 pm

Please don't judge George -- Geekster -- by anything I have posted. He and I are in an incredibly tough end-game here, I guess. I decided to look in on what the attraction to eplaya was for him, and I was so ashamed to find myself reflected in his words. I'm not sure you need or want the whole picture of me. But I did need to stand up for myself when I saw myself laid bare and (in my perception) ridiculed here.

Do you guys realize that there are people out here? People who have feelings? I can imagine George is feeling violated by my reading his posts here. But they are here -- on the web. I guess if he wanted to keep it private, he would.

George: I'll say it here and maybe you can understand me; maybe some of your friends can help you hear me. That's my fondest wish. I want you to have wonderful friends. I think it's great you are embracing art projects and Burning Man. All that is true. But it is ALSO true that I am also incredibly insecure with myself and my relationship with you and I feel threatened when you are intimate with other people, especially when I don't feel intimate with you.

To the rest of you: Don't feel uncomfortable about my feelings. They're mine and I own them. Sometimes they wrestle me into great despair and hurt, but sometimes they lift me to joy beyond words. Sometimes I have to wonder if the pain is worth the joy; right now I'd gladly trade it. If you want to know absolutely anything about me -- just ask. Please don't call me stupid, please don't assume I'm a rabid bitch or don't understand or love George. I do, and I want to, but it's hard.

As for you and your friend George: He is a wonderful man. You know that. Keep knowing it.

I'll slink away now. Please don't me mad at me anymore, honey.
