I'm really trying.
I know I will find my way.

I didn't really want him to go away or stop contacting me, I wanted him to think "Oh shit" and then say "Let me take you out on a real date to make it up to you". Of course he didn't say that, he just thought "screw it".

I mean I don't want his money like everyone says women do, I just want to know that someone cares about me before I screw em ya know.
Perhaps I'm looking at this all wrong, maybe they never really care. And women really are the ones that always end up being screwed over and the only way to make up for that is to swindle them out of their hard earned cash. "If you don't give me any love then I'm gonna at least take all your money".

I checked my email today and he did not email me or call me or text message me, just as I had requested.
He is gonna be movin on to the next chick who is an easy screw and then what did I get out of it nothing?

I mean ladies want to get some cookie also. I'm a lady and I want cookie!

I played it all wrong I really did, I shoulda just got pregnant and then the guy would be stuck with me. No, no. Just kidding.


I was about ready to knit him a scarf as if any guy really wants that.

MEN don't deserve women, I want someone to knit me cozy stuff to keep me warm, and make me feel better when I am sick, and cook things that I like to get to make me happy and be thoughtful etc. Etc.

All the things females do for males.

Men just sit there like big dumb boulders and say monosyllabic nothing and expect women to do all this stuff for them. I could kick a boulder I really could.

Squeezing love out of a man seems as easy as squeezing water out of a rock.

That is my end of ranting this morning.

At least I didn't get into it too deep ya know? Better bail at the start.

I KNEW IT WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. HE WAS HOT. HOT. HOT. And he SEEMED nice. But hey a guy that doesn't act like a gentleman is not that nice is he.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I don't want him to go away.

But I told him to go away.

Doing the right thing feels wrong, doing the wrong thing woulda felt really good. I'm tired of doing the right thing.

The only good opportunities that come to me are the wrong kind. Maybe it's not so wrong.

SOMEONE, STOP ME next time I tell a hot guy to bugger off.

I guess what I'm getting at is that his imperfect, insincere attention was better then no attention.

Are women just trained to seek love? How come I can't be a slut? Maybe I want to be a slut? I don't know.

Thanks Ami, but I don't think he cares. I can't make him care.  I don't know how I feel. I feel conflicted.

I don't think there is anything I can do.

What am I gonna say "Wait, I am a dumb slut, really, I am!!! Wait don't go cus I'm a slut!!"

Uhhhh....I don't know.      It would end up being painful in the end. I would be lying to myself which is worse then him lying to me.

Hey there... chiming in from the Pirate Lair...

what IF you didn't view every guy as THE guy? I mean, he's "people" too... and probably has insecurities, maybe he's not sure about what the "rules" are... how things are "supposed to be" either. Maybe the white picket fence, 2.5 kids, a mortgage and the daily grind aren't what he's about either, ya know?

It's PERFECTLY OK to sorta want that white picket fence & apron life, but maybe maybe it's that the stereotype gets updated to what people do today, what people face today...

And it's PERFECTLY OK, to "taste test" guys on the way to finding THE guy... and it doesn't make you a slut. It just makes you a modern woman, who is able to take emotional risks... to try relationships on for size... and maybe under all the anxiety and fear... you do care about him... and that's SOOOOOO scary, I agree.

My hubby - after we'd been married some years - it just sort of dawned on me, that he scared the sh*t out of me... because I do love him... and it did appear that he loved me too. Yeah - pretty insane to be scared of that, right? Yeah, I guess I was pretty insane...

but that's because the only "love" I knew from my mom always, always hurt.... there was always a "gotcha" that I learned to be on the look-out for.

What do they say? Once burned, twice shy? So I had a good reason for not trusting, being wary & afraid... but then, one simple fact changed how I felt (though to be honest I'm still struggling with this)... that fact, is that my hubby isn't my mom... not a thing about him reminds me of her - except his attachment to clutter. But the "problem" is/was ME.... not him.

I was simply lumping him into a category and not being fair to him; not seeing him for who he actually is. I was seeing him through the fun-house mirror of my own triggered (and in the past) feelings.

OH... and you ARE important to me. I jumped on today, to see how you're doing... what's doing...
and to let you know: we signed the contract on the house at the beach Wed - yep; the house I was afraid would "get away". We signed the contract EXACTLY one year to the day, that my Dad died... I realized that, that evening on the deck under an almost full moon, with the ocean waves just out of sight in the dark...

I wanted you to know.

AMBER "THE HOUSE"
« Reply #592 on: October 02, 2009, 03:30:23 PM »
Yesss!!! Ha Ha! You got THE house!!!!!!! Yea!!!!!!

That’s good news Amber, Congratulations. Your gonna have to post a picture of the view from the porch! Soooo, do tell about it. Is it a blue house with white trim? Are there beach grass bushes blowing in the breeze. Sand on the porch? Sanddollars glued to the mail box? Are you going to repaint, remodel etc or is it pretty good in the current condition? Is there some big green thing out in front of the house?
Two levels? Lots of windows? Fire place? Does it ever get cold on this beach?

More "My Stuff" GUY
« Reply #593 on: October 02, 2009, 03:54:43 PM »
This guy was doing the whole "Pick up Artist" thing on me. I've had guys do this before. I can't trust them. It's too psychopathic for my taste.


OK, This IS surreal:  Yeah, I must be like a pick up artist target here in MY CAFE. Cus another dumb ass f head guy just came up to me this very moment as I was writing this and he said something stupid, some sort of pick up line and then walked out of the place, he didn't even buy a drink. I looked at his smile with a penetrating, scrutinizing, serious scowl and said "What"? and then I said "Uh huh" sarcastically, I then waved him off and he walked out of the cafe. Yeah, I send em runnin with the tail between the legs. Run little boy RUN RUN cause this B*tch is on your back!!! HA HA Ha (Evil laugh here).

AND I, ME, becomes a "Bitch" in their lingo.... that is what pick up artists call any women who does not fool into their game, they call them "BITCH".
I'm probably their stupid target girl for their pick up game. Oh now I'm becoming very paranoid HA HA HA...... Not funny. I got to take care of my business. I do I have to. These guys are a dime a dozen. I don't know maybe they all think I'm like a whore or something. I'm just ranting here. I don't really mean this, I just wonder what the F is going on. These GUYS are a dime a dozen, they are not that DIAMOND that women dig for, they are all the dirt that has got to be moved out of the way to get to that diamond. A metaphorical diamond. The thing that is rare and coveted.

Maybe this guy was like a friend of THE GUY. And they all are just messin around. ME not happy. I could be hallucinating, I'm not sure I'm confused bout what is going on. I wish someone was here to confirm my sanity. Did that all just happen? Probably it did not happen, I just look a certain way. Would he send a friend over here?

When the hell did I become so approachable? I've been told that I am not approachable.

In fact most guys are doing this stuff now. If this particular guy has any authentic feelings under his pick up artist crap I will never know. And I think it's just me wanting to see something in the world. It's like believing in god or something. Hey, it's there I just can't see it! Hey, he loves me, he just doesn't show it! Ha Ha Ha Errhhh....too tired to give a fricken rats ass right now. I want ta kick someone's big muscly ass right now. Put a nice impeccably pedicured imprint into his buttock.

I don't like feeling as if someone has gotten the better of me or is using me so I'm exhausted trying to figure out what they are doing and keeping a step ahead of them in the "Game".

I kind of figure if a guy liked me he would have enough respect not to do this crap to me. I just question a person's lack of conscious.

I mean I don't blame a guy for wanting to get chicks but this breaks some sort of unspoken social contract to me, it makes them conartists.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T   Find out what it means to me.

That is fine, he want's to be a pick up artist. If I was a male maybe that is what I would want also, who knows?

Nah, I'm not gonna do it. I can figure out other things to do.

Anyways every decision I've ever made that involved a guy turned out bad. Not exaggerating.

I'm better when I am flying solo.

I was thinking last night how I want to imagine that men can be, may be sentient beings with a conscious and are able to care etc. and think about other people not just themselves. The thing is, my father, my brother, my mother's boyfriends, my uncles, my grandfathers, my male friends. NONE of them impress me as human beings. Maybe my standards are too high. They just don't make me go "Ohhh, got to get me some of that".  No, instead I usually think "Why do women put up with this sh*t".

MUSIC can fix any thing. I'm listening to one of my old friends favorite songs... I'm fine and on top of the world with this song.

The truth is I'm afraid I harbor a lot of violent anger towards men. I'm afraid of men. And I'm pissed at men. And I feel like I'm in the margin of going right off the page. Guys are so stupid they don't even get this. That I want to hurt them if they even mess with me. I WANT to f them up.

I know this is cus I have issues. But I just wish they would back the f off with their BS.

Ok, there it is, I'm afraid of my anger quotient. IT's like high-alert. Surround yourself with bubble wrap man. Cause this chair right here, it is coming to get you.


I'm not always this volatile in real life I swear, I just talk about things on this board that I don't talk about elsewhere. I think I sound like a drama queen, but this is my repository for the myriad of sunami-wave emotions that can't come out in the "real world". So I come here and vent.


I feel like telling these, guys hey look "I lost my job", I'm still not over that like a pathetic loser and I take anti-depressants and I HAVE ISSUES and trust me Man, you do not want to become one of my new Issues, Do you? I didn't think so.

I'm ok, ramping down, closing out posting mode, it's late late afternoon and I need to go take a shower and get dressed and start my day.

Lyrics: BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN   Tunnel of Love

Fat man sitting on a little stool
Takes the money from my hand while his eyes take a walk all over you
Hands me the ticket smiles and whispers good luck
Cuddle up angel cuddle up my little dove
We'll ride down baby into this tunnel of love

I can feel the soft silk of your blouse
And them soft thrills in our little fun house
Then the lights go out and it's just the three of us
You me and all that stuff we're so scared of
Gotta ride down baby into this tunnel of love

There's a crazy mirror showing us both in 5-D
I'm laughing at you you're laughing at me
There's a room of shadows that gets so dark brother
It's easy for two people to lose each other in this tunnel of love

it ought to be easy ought to be simple enough
Man meets woman and they fall in love
But the house is haunted and the ride gets rough
And you've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above if you want to ride on down in through this tunnel of love

If this guy had liked me, he would have wanted to make me happy, right? Attempt to make the one they like happy.
See the first day I met him he seemed like he didn't want to go, he seemed like he didn't want to leave me. He just stood there when we were saying goodbye and I had to wave him off. GOOD BYE!

I mean how is a women to know if she is a number, a point, a score on a pinball machine, a foot ball game, a touch down, a win, a kill, a notch on the belt, a head on the wall, a bragging right, a tally, a number in a little book, a boast. What is so annoying about games? Games come in boxes or I guess exist on artificially manicured lawns. They have lots of arbitrary rules and someone always wins and someone always loses.

Suppose that is my main point. I don't want to lose. I know it's sort of idealistic but I honest to God don't think that someone has always got to lose.

I'm gonna let this go pretty soon I swear. The thing is, I feel like I coulda handled this guy differently. He was getting on my nerves though so I decided to stop playing with him. Thats right he got on my nerves, now I remember. See I can make up a whole thing in my own head about a guy. I do ask myself and wonder if there is anything I could have done, like maybe I could have sneakily converted him into a nice guy.
No person is perfect, I know that. Men are all fixer-upers. Hey, aren't we all fixer uppers?!!! Ha Ha Ha

I think this is probably unlikely, people are who they are. When I think about the guys I know, what you see is what you get minus the charm.
Take the charm away and that is what you get, the guy.

There might be crampons on my feet, punching my icepick into a blue glacier trying to get up to the top of Mr. Everest...this reality is closer then me smelling homemade apple-banana-blueberry pancakes first thing in the morning and having someone to share it with.

Pancakes, it's simple but it's as elusive as the end of the rainbow, no that is not correct. I have been at the end of rainbows before, I guess the sun was at the right angle. I have been at the ephemeral end of the rainbow.

Are there not any guys that want this also? Just someone to have "simple pleasures" with. All the guys I ever met want to be Hugh Hefner, want mansions and a harem of women wandering around doe-eyed like a menagerie zoo of women. Some guys have been dumb enough to think I would be part of their menagerie. "Nah-uuuh. No, see you don't know me man, cus I ain't that".Somewhere over the F'in rainbow that is where my man would be.

I am gonna let this all go and move on soon. When a person comes along it's as if they are that "Spark" as in the song "Dancing in the Dark" that changes something that wakes me up. Like hey, I do have a body! Imagine that.  

I'm lonely.  I guess I can stop writing this fact cus, I'm gonna be lonely for the next few days, next few weeks, next few years, probably until the day that I die. You know sometimes I lay in bed at night and I pray to god, I say "just let me die already".


I'm currently overhearing a conversation this man is having, he has the habit of saying very offensive things about women in front of women and then he says "No offense to your gender". And the women are all like: "he he, that's ok."

Pumpkin Truck
« Reply #598 on: October 04, 2009, 02:56:33 PM »
There is a pumpkin truck unloading right now next to MY CAFE. I'm so excited and happy about this. I don't ever remember seeing one of these when I was a kid. I walked out of home this morning and I squealed with glee to see the truck there! It's an open back semi filled with pumpkins almost to topple over. There are three men throwing the pumpkins between each other like basketballs to unload them off and onto the ground.

I wish there was someone else here who was half as excited as I was about this.

Y-E-S   P-U-M-P-K-I-N-S   !!!!!! AHHHHHHH I LOVE IT!!!!!!

Kid stuff is so much fun. I remember I always wanted a doll house like the one in a quaint store in Hingham Mass. I would  look at the doll house even when I was in high school and dream about having a house like that.  Now, I live in a house as pretty as the doll house and I am numb,most of the time. I wander around and it doesn't even feel like it is mine.
