I is tired

Friday, January 27, 2006
Today, I went to the gym to swim before work. And boy am I tired now. I would like to kick everyone out of the library so I could take a nap. Oh well, I will just go to bed early this evening. (I know, I know--another exciting Friday night!)

A kiss is not a kiss

Friday, January 06, 2006
The other day I receive a kiss from a man of interest. The scenario surrounding it made me think how all kisses are not created equal.

The kiss was just one of those "pucker kisses". All lips, all pucker and really only barely any lips touching. I laughed that it was the way I would kiss Zoey or Shelby. He noted that we were in public and he didn't want to "stick his tongue down my throat."

First, let me state that I agree that I don't need his tongue on my tonsils at any time, let alone in public. I really don't like overdone public displays of affection.

However, isn't there a wide range of kisses between the pucker and sticking your tounge down my throat? There is the soft kiss--the typical first kiss--that's all lips, but lingering and sweet. Then there is the mouth barely open, usually used as a signal to take things further. The next level I would see as just slight bit of tongue. And you preceed from there to the total tonsil hockey--a level where I am not a big fan, much like ice hockey.

I know I am overthinking this but kisses themselves are very important to me. I will take a good kisser/bad lover any day of the week cause you can always show him what pleases you. However, bad kissing is almost ingrained in the person. It is hard to correct. And because it is the initial intimacy it isn't the easiest to mention. And, frankly, bad kissing will get you nowhere past that intial intimacy stage.

Hmmm..kisses. I think I might have to come up with a list of some of the best kissers and best kisses.

The Rose Bowl

Thursday, January 05, 2006
Well, that was surely an exciting game to watch. I am glad it was close and up to the last second since I wasn't really rooting for either team. I only root for the ultra-conservative USC when they play Notre Dame. And Texas--I mean, here is a state that voted Bush as their governor which spiralled into him being the president. That aside it was truly a great game.

A Very Practical Christmas

So, I literally begged everyone to either buy me something very practical or do not buy me anything at all. I have so much crap/junk/stuff that I didn't need to add to the collection. I didn't want clothes (I mean, who is someone to buy me clothes--are you telling me what to wear?) unless they were practial anytime clothes such a sweatshirts or t-shirts. Stuff I could wear to the gym or just around the house.

Well, everyone (almost) got it right. I did tell my mother that I would like some sweatshirts. I gave her the size. I told her when they were on sale at K-Mart and exactly where in the store they were located. She can't find them at K-Mart. She goes to Steve and Barry's at Northwest Plaza. She buys sweatshirts a size too small.

Again, I have told her what size. And, yes, it was a size larger than I normally where but I specifically told her I wanted them to wear as part of a multi-layer outfit. Like if I decided to workout outdoors. I can't wear a coat but I want to wear a bunch of layers. Her reasoning was that the ones in the size I requested were "odd colors" and she like the colors in the size she bought better. Well, as long as you like the colors what does it matter if its in the wrong size?! Why did she waste her time when she knew I would say to return them? I guess when you are retired you really have nothing better to do.

Two Steps Forward, Three Steps Back

I've been doing the dance we do (mating ritual dance?) when we have interest in someone of the opposite sex (or the same sex--whatever works for you). But, this time the dance has been very akward. It makes a little progression and then makes such a big digression that it almost gives me whiplash. Leading up to the holidays it really looked like this was getting somewhere. I saw him right after New Years and he was not very nice. So, I've spent the last few days wondering why I even bother.

I just wonder: Was he feeling the holiday spirit and it instantly turns off once the clock strikes midnight on New Years Eve? Is this guy just moody? I swear he is more of an emotional hormonal roller-coaster than a girl.

I live a very sad and lonely life. The bit of exhilaration I might get doesn't balance out the total melancholy of the bad days. It really is only making matters worse. Again, why do I bother? I think I might not from now on.
