The Bar

Hell, most of the guys in this generation can't take care of ANYfuckingthing

ahem, I would amend that to the universal truism. People suck. This includes chicks. I have been amazed at the ability of some of the women I know to make the same shitty choices over and over again. WTF? As my momma told me 'shit stuart, even dogs learn by repetition'.

so, let's all do shots together over the understanding that fuckwits come in all shapes, sizes, and certainly sexes.

Okay, look, I'm just going to cover the bar with drinks and you can help yourselves. Seriously, that's the last time I'm going to buy a house on the same day that sex toys take over the bar. Sheesh.

i almost posted this earlier.. ya'll are gonna think it's crazy, though i bet some of you girls will understand...

sometimes you kind of need to be, at least somewhat, in control. not that it can't happen with a partner, but i'm just sayin.' it's more psychological than anything else.

and heli, get yer ass back here. you're way off, but we still love you.

sheesh.

I've always had this problem myself.

Hey sparkly one! What a great christmas present! I'm exceedingly jealous but even more happy for you; you are living my dream!

amen, stuart.

although the occasional repetition is comforting, i'm working on making all different mistakes. it's far more entertaining.

Heli, stop stressing and just embrace it...

so,

now that we're all fucking enlightened,

what's the booze of the hour?

sparkletarte · Post by **sparkletarte** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 1:24 pm

{there we go}

Yes, everyone, thank you, thank you! Yay for me! mememe!

Hmm, sparklecon? Well, my new little home town has a snowfest the weekend of Feb. 12. There's snowsculptures by day, in the field right behind the pub, watch out for the dog shit in the snow. Then at night, there's a debaucerous party (dress-up, usually themed Winter Gods and Goddesses, and remember, we're lawless, you can do almost whatever you want) with a fun local band, The Toques. That's what we call those knitted hats you wear in the winter, because I know somene will ask. There's cross country skiing on the old train tracks right across the street (no train anymore) for next day. And the day before we can rip it up at our most amazing and heavily powdered local mountain. So yeah, that's sparklecon!

(TP dashes in and pounds Stuart's drink,
looks at the flogger and gives Guin a wink,
complains how her last rebound boy was a jerk,
blows kisses to all then runs back out to work)

take a few deep breaths, sam... it is all part of their strategy.

more breaths, re-rehearse your spiel and appear confident.

and clean your weapons if they don't hire you.

i haven't completely shaken it yet.

Oh, hell. {{{{{Rian}}}}}

And yeah, it's bound to have been easier without him there. I got to take all of my stuff out to the car while we were waiting to take our girlfriend to the train station* - there they sat, reading, while I wandered back and forth doing my damnedest to keep from crying until they couldn't see me....

The ex and I still have a fair chunk of each other's stuff...we need to arrange a prisoner exchange at some point, but it may not be until the end of next month - too many loaded days between now and then. (Christmas, our 5th anniversary on the 7th, his birthday on the 17th)

{{{{{more hugs}}}}}

*She was visiting from back East, and wound up with the unenviable task of mediating the breakup conversation...we both hated putting her in the middle of it, but we were also both really grateful she was here.

Rian Jackson · Post by **Rian Jackson** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 2:32 pm

hugs back atcha, darlin.

hell, i still haven't done prisoner exchange with one former boyfriend. i think, between the inconvenience (semi long distance) and the finality that it seems to entail.... it's probably mostly that, the finality, i mean.

guh. it's kind of nice to have it over with though.

are you getting my good santa juju, purple? i'm sending it!

Try http://www.goodvibes.com
I'm not sure if that's the exact address and if I try and access it from work I get a nanny. If it's wrong google "good vibrations"

That's the right URL - though I'm surprised you didn't point her at Blowfish....

Yeah. It's gonna be a hell of a while before I can get it over with this time, though - he's still on the pink slip for my car. And I can't exactly do anything about that while I'm still unemployed.

oh, for the love of fuck Ht - friends disagree and hash shit out. Sometimes loudly - but this? Nah... no one was seriously pissed...

I don't know everything there is to know about dick.... you don't know everything there is to know about clit... *shrug* not so big a deal.

And isn't it freakin wonderful that there are women out there willing to share knowledge with you? I mean, c'mon... you don't have to stumble throughout your life not knowing this stuff. You know women willing to *discuss female orgasms with you in great detail*.

So stop feeling "put in your place" and get yer ass back in here for drinks and dirty talk.
