2065skate night last night

Mar. 31, 2004

 

 

I visited with Sharjinka at skate night & said 'hi' to Tomax (I dont'
think she remembered me). Then Jeff approached & Jinx skated off.
And then I had a lovely conversation with Jeff:

He informed me that I look old. (I'm paradoxically both vain and
objective, therefore I know I look younger than I am, fuckyouverymuch)

That he is from the South too and therefore could not have possibly
misinterpreted my friendliness for more than it was. (South Florida
does not count, asshat. You may as well be from ANY East Coast town,
there are enough transplanted retired Yankees there for it not to
count)

I attempted to TMI him by telling him my mother was bipolar. No dice.
He TMI'ed me in return by telling me his ex wife had taken Prozac
while pregnant with his son.

And he ragged on me for saying something about giving up drinking for
Lent but not considering myself a 'good Catholic.'

Um....Oh, yes, and I misled him deliberately and suchlike by not
giving him my phone number. Nevermind the fact that I truthfully
informed him that I do not like talking on the phone. No, no, I was
being dishonest and trying to sneak around on my Sweetie (Hello,
fuckwit. I have a cell phone. I have a work phone. If I wanted to
give someone a number that would not be answered by sweetie, I have one
or three.)

ARRRRGGH! Just.....argh.

I hate men. Why they gotta be such pigdogs?

So...I'm never going to skate night again. I will have to find
somewhere to take my in-lines and skate on my own. *sigh*

I stopped and got retail therapy on the way home. Half Price Books--A
Communards cassete (reminds me of Ricky), INXS "The Swing" cassette
(joke/gag/injoke b-day prezzie for Rio), and a copy of Even Cowgirls
Get The Blues. All for less than $4. I feel better and I didn't spend
all my money. Life is good. Even though I still want to stomp me some
testicles...I totally should have taken Jinx up on her offer to
beat Jeff up for me. *sigh*

  Taurus
  Horoscope (by Astrocenter.com)
  Bring more fire and passion into your love life, dear Taurus. Spark
  things up by being more adventurous in your dates. The bolder you
  are, the more response you will get. Even though you may like to plan
  ahead and take things slow and steady, your romantic life is one area
  where you may need to take just the opposite approach. Have
  confidence in yourself, and be spontaneous in all matters having to
  do with love.
  
  Gemini
  Horoscope (by Astrocenter.com)
  Recent conflicts with other people may be stirring up a great deal of
  anger within you, dear Gemini. This is a powerful force, and you will
  most certainly be tempted to make a tremendous fight of it.
  Nonetheless, put the guns away and bring out the olive branch. Take
  the energy that has built up within you and use it to fuel your
  romantic affairs instead of warlike ventures. Diffuse the bomb by
  sharing passionate nights with the one you love

  Be careful of getting into arguments with others, because you do not
  stand a chance of winning, evilE. More than likely, no one is going
  to be the winner today, because everyone is going to be so convinced
  that their opinion is the right one that they will barely even listen
  to anything else. Your best plan of attack is to listen, absorb, and
  file away the information that comes your way. You can pull it out
  and use it more effectively on a later date.
  
  Your Rising Sign
  Invite a friend to stay with you for a while. Seek to regain a
  friendship with a person you lost touch with a long time ago. There
  is a need for you to reestablish a rapport with someone whom you
  would like to bond with on a more spiritual level. You have a great
  deal of learning to do in this area of your life, and today's sextile
  between Mars and the Moon is suggesting that more of this learning
  can take place when you spend some intense time connecting with
  another.

  Heavy thoughts may be present for you on this 4-Day, evilE. Perhaps
  this will come about as a result of a problem you are facing and need
  to think about. If this is the case, this vibration's energy will
  lend a great deal of support to helping you identify the choices you
  have. Don't hesitate to write your thoughts and ideas down. This can
  help form a course of action. Don't fight it - use it to your
  advantage. See what you can work out, Six.
  =============================================
  
  dreamt about Sunshine again. I was managing or working at a Pier
  1/Tuscany Market/Pottery Barn place & I was showing him around. There
  were some guys in suits in the booze section drinking small samples.
  I can't remember anything else. It seems to have been a positive
  dream.

2067Exodus 20:16

Mar. 31, 2004

 

 

Roninjedi (good looking guy whose dated Nikiyoy & Onyxlynxx) referred to this
bible verse in his LJ: it's one of the 10 commandments: thou shalt
not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

Here was the commentary I found on one bible website:

Exodus 20:16

Speech is arguably man's greatest gift and at the same time his most
dangerous ability. It is impossible to estimate the good it has done
when great men and women have truthfully instructed and inspired
others. By contrast, we cannot measure how much evil the tongue has
perpetrated, for falsehoods disguised as truth have destroyed
reputations and even nations.

God devotes two of the Ten Commandments to the evils of false
witnessing, the third and the ninth. These seem to be broken with
impunity—sometimes even by those who are aware of their application—
because the drives that motivate people to break them are so powerful.

God commands, "You shall not bear false witness against your
neighbor," but liars and lying abound. Everybody knows that marketers
lie about what products can do. Books, magazines, and movies feature
liars of many different stripes. The media and the public have caught
prominent government figures from presidents on down lying about
important issues.

According to an article by Jan Mendenhall in the June/July 1997 issue
of Aspire, college kids lie to their moms in 50% of conversations.
Dating couples lie to each other a third of the time, and spouses
deceive each other in about 10% of major conversations. Twelve
percent of four million Americans lost their jobs
for "misrepresentation." A November 1997 survey conducted by the
publishers of Who's Who Among American High Schools Students reveals
that 76% of the students listed in their publication (supposedly the
elite achievers) admit having cheated. Two-thirds of these believe it
is "no big deal" to cheat to get a good test grade—and 65% of their
parents agree!

We use a large number of euphemisms to soften the act of lying. Some
are: duplicity, fabrication, evasion, stringing someone along,
inaccuracy, exaggeration, fudging, rationalization,
falsehood, "whopper," deception, misrepresentation, dishonesty,
putting someone on, putting up a front, and fibbing.

evile: Phone duty from hell at lunchtime today. :P But I get to go
home early!
SkyeDS: hey there
evile: hi :)
SkyeDS: told sineater last night bout [brother A], so now he wants to hear all
of it from you
SkyeDS: Dad had a stroke last night, is still in the ER
evile: Got a message on the machine. sineater sounded pretty pissed-off.
Not necessarily the best approach...but we'll talk.
evile: Yuck! I'm sorry to hear about your dad!
SkyeDS: I have to remind myself that he isn't pissed off at me but at
the situation sometimes
evile: How is the rest of your family doing?
SkyeDS: ok, far as I can tell
SkyeDS: but Daddy can't see or otherwise respond, so I'm worried
evile: There is no point in being pissed off at [brother A] because he's in
love, he's stubborn, he's going to do whatever he's going to do and
we can either be part of his life & be there to catch him when he
falls, or we can be shut out. Our choice.
SkyeDS: I will let you tell sineater that
evile: It's gotta be tough to see someone you love in such a helpless
state. Not his first time in the hospital.
SkyeDS: he listens to anyone else before he listens to me
evile: heh. have made this mistake before with at least one loved
one in love with what I saw as a poor choice. will not do it again.
SkyeDS: as well he ought to know watching me handle my little sister
SkyeDS: who is now quite happily married to the only one of her men I
ever approved of
evile: I think the current husband is going to be the deal breaker,
anyway. It was his idea for [brother A] to take up with The Rubber Pig and he seems
to be regretting it now that they're all living together...
SkyeDS: that's very interesting (Capt Jack Sparrow)
evile: They've played this game before, from what I gather. The Rubber Pig
took up with another man/divorced Trey (in whatever order) got
knocked up with the middle child who's now 5, and then she and Trey
remarried.
SkyeDS: "but this time is different"
evile: sure.
evile: nobody stuck in a pattern sees the pattern.
evile: Oh well. I'm going to poly dinner tonight and then hopefully
will get home early enough to give sineater a call.
evile: Had a fairly rotten time at skate night last night & plus it
was too late to call when I checked the machine last night.
SkyeDS: I sorry :(
evile: It's probably just me, but I was approached by creepy jeff,
who alternated between apologizing for our misunderstanding/insulting
me/flattering me. It was ultra-bizarre and made me VERY uncomfortable.
SkyeDS: :(
evile: Oh well. I have my own skates. I can just find someplace
closer to home to go skate. parking lot or something.
SkyeDS: wish we still had a rink in Rockdale
SkyeDS: as it is I'll have to find one probably in Taylor or RR
evile: Sharjinka offered to 'take him out'...I should have said yes!
SkyeDS: lol
SkyeDS: I"m always offerin to kill people and my friends keep turning
me down :P
evile: he's not worth the jail time
evile: I thought Id solved the misunderstanding by saying I am taken,
I don't want to date, and I'm not available for sex...but no.
evile: Here's my pattern: guy hits on me, I tell him no, and he goes
and insults me either to our mutual friends or to my face....I guess
that helps his penis not feel so offended.
SkyeDS: /me nods
SkyeDS: dittos
SkyeDS: and in my case I don't even understand why they hit on me
evile: I was raised by hippie-mom. I dont' do physical violence. I
may have to revise this.
SkyeDS: besides being married, I'm old and fat and ugly now
evile: I'm old, fat, frumpy, spotty, bespectacled, and unfriendly.
And yet it does not stop them all. Just brings the freaks out of the
woodwork.
SkyeDS: what the fuck is wrong with these peeps
evile: No clue. If I knew what it was that attracted them, I could
remove it/cover it/ whatever.
SkyeDS: with me I think it's the idea that open marriage means I'll
sleep with anyone just because they asked
SkyeDS: therefore I'm a "sure thing"
SkyeDS: /me snorts derisively
evile: This guy Jeff accused me not only of sending a mixed signal,
but trying to set things up so I could fool around on sweetie. Um...what
part of 'no' did he NOT hear?
evile: And If I *was* going to fuck around on sweetie, why would I choose
a smarmy divorced dud from the skating rink? Why have bologna when I
have prime rib at home???
SkyeDS: /me nods
evile: So are you going to Texarkana this weekend, then?
SkyeDS: I don't know yet
SkyeDS: I cleared it with Hugh so I could
SkyeDS: and heard nothing from Kelly yesterday :(
evile: hopefully that means she was taking care of things on her own?
Feel free to give her our # if she wants sweetie to go out there and look
big & mean or anything.
SkyeDS: /me nods
SkyeDS: I'm going to give her your number, Sharjinka's number (because
she had to wrangle w/ insurance over this same thing not too long ago)
SkyeDS: annd if I leave this weekend ask her to house sit for me
evile: good plans :)
evile: someone sent me Jason Patric photos from the Alamo movie.
wow..he is so *not cute* anymore. And he was so adorable in Lost Boys.
SkyeDS: /me shrugs
evile: looks like he's had plastic surgery. I wish hollywood people
would just age gracefully....
SkyeDS: the Indians (from India) are experts at that
evile: yup. No harm in doing what you can to keep what you have...but
all that implant nonsense--ick.
evile: I catch myself wishing that tomorrow all the problem children
in my world will call me up and say "april fools!"
SkyeDS: rofl
SkyeDS: that would be nice
evile: very much so!
SkyeDS: if gramma and kelly would both call me and say the same
SkyeDS: and all the other entities I have to do businenss with
evile: yeah.
SkyeDS: ad then I would be furious
SkyeDS: particularly with gramma and kelly
evile: well, that too.
SkyeDS: because that shit would'nt be funny
evile: no...but it would be nice to get all these burdens taken away
in one magic 'april fools!'
evile: Oh well. A lot of my problems are going away tomorrow--thye're
picking up my lease car.
SkyeDS: :-/
evile: mixed blessing, to be sure. But mostly for the good, I think.
evile: brb
evile: bk

  SkyeDS: bk
  evile: hey :)
  SkyeDS: told sineater that you were usually on after lunch
  SkyeDS: he tried to log on I think but got bumped off
  evile: bummer.
  evile: Well, we'll talk at some point, eventually.
  SkyeDS: Daddy apparently is in MRI, good bet that Mom is in there
  with him (cell phone not allowed) and Gramma is probably taking a nap
  SkyeDS: which is why I can't get anyone on phone
  evile: bummer.
  SkyeDS: and, chances are, when I say, should I come now or should I
  wait till the weekend, they'll say, oh no, you don't need to come at
  all.
  evile: Its' such a bad feeling being far away & feeling like you
  can't do anything & don't know what's going on....
  SkyeDS: the nurses are very forthcoming and helpful so far.
  SkyeDS: by law they don't have to be
  evile: that's good.
  evile: I'm getting a lotto ticket today after work. We're bout due
  for some good luck, I think. :)
  evile: That would be a pretty excellent April fool for my bosses,
  too :P
  SkyeDS: Hugh is frustrated so he went to the Y to punch bags
  evile: good plan. I'm going to take one hell of a walk when I get out
  of here. (early today! yay!)
  SkyeDS: where you gonna go?
  evile: The library eventually. I also need more books. But up
  thataway & around & such.
  SkyeDS: library on Guad and approx 7th right?
  evile: want me to pop by? I get off at 3:30 today. I dont know what
  your workload is like
  SkyeDS: I'm free if you want company
  evile: Okeydoke. I'll come by.
  SkyeDS: don't know what time Hugh will be back, but I already offered
  to go for a walk with him. But he needed to go hit things.
  SkyeDS: I nodded adn said, well, I can't go with you to the Y to hit
  things
  evile: heh.
  evile: If you'd rather walk with Hugh, that's fine, too.
  SkyeDS: nah, I don't think he'll want to after the Y, he didn't
  yesterday
  SkyeDS: yesterday was the Y and tai chi
  SkyeDS: (separate things)
  evile: Okeydoke. Tai Chi is *awesome*...but kicks my ass.
  SkyeDS: nods
  SkyeDS: I suspect it is like yoga, but I like yoga
  evile: Not quite. but similar.
  SkyeDS: guess I could look into doing UT yoga again on Mondays
  evile: I've got 10 min or so, I need to make my rounds & toss paper.
  SkyeDS: if I could figure out the parking sitch
  evile: yeah...parkingat UT is heeedious.
  SkyeDS: hugs, see yas :)
  evile: see ya! :)
