Now stop laughing and pity me.

Hmm... I wonder what I'll dream tonight?

If punching a guy off his bike means you get to go out to coffee with him, I'd start aiming for the cute ones.

That said, I have a couple exes I wouldn't mind spontaneously knocking on their asses. I almost have to admire your balls for even considering such a course of action.

But still, why let some rotten ex ruin your life post-relationship?

Yeah, but while you're driving yourself nuts not forgiving him, you're clocking innoncent dopplegangers. And you really don't need to forgive him. Just fuck him if he didn't realize what he had in you. His loss.

Guys can be incredibly stupid and insensitive. If we beat ourselves up over every poor choice they make in relationships, we'd never leave the house. My last boyfriend, who was 26 and should have known better, dragged me along for several months longer than he should have. I finally found out he wanted to break up when he told me on about December 28 he was going to a New Year's Eve party and would be back around 1am. And he didn't want me to go. So not only did he ruin my plans for ringing in the new year, he couldn't even muster the balls to be honest months before when it could have saved me some angst. Boy, I really lit into him for that. Sat him down and told him point by point the proper way to handle a relationship with a woman. And if he wasn't mature enough to be honest, he damn well ought to stay out of a relationship until we was. I put the fear into him, let me tell you.

Just don't let some asshole ruin your life without even being there. Your anger isn't having the slightest effect on HIM.

Oh yeah, at least from my perspective "Do as I say, not as I do". While it seems pretty simple to say to hell with him and move on, it's not that easy in practice. But still, anger and grudges and fury only hurt you. He doesn't even know about it. Whatever his reasons were for leaving you, it doesn't mean you're less of a person, or he suddenly noticed something that proves you're simply awful. It means he has bad judgement and he's an ass. So find someone who appreciates you. And learn to appreciate yourself.

I went almost three years without dating anyone after I got divorced. I thought I was ok shortly after leaving my husband and in retrospect, I was out of control. I left HIM and it still messed me up. It takes time. But the best thing about being single was discovering I'm actually pretty interesting, and now I do things that interest me and hope I find someone who likes the same things. It's not easy, because I'm weird, but sometimes you get lucky.

I do, however, have an ad on Yahoo.... for what, you ask? Looking for two men. OH YEAH! No strings.

I thought I was the only one who had that fantasy!

Alas, guys always seem to want two women instead.

*rereads Bex's last post*

*cleans glasses*

*stares blankly at screen*

*brief moments of unconsiousness*

*turns off forum and comes back an hour later*

*stares at screen until screensaver kicks in*

Whoa... um...
Well.
-Er....
Damn girl. I dont know how to respond to that. I really dont.

Yet, somehow I feel that some response is required in the "male code" in order to defend my honor and dispell any myths.

Of course the "male code" keeps getting me black eyes, so I'll just walk away from this one until my eyes stop bugging out and making such excellent targets.

Anyway, on to other things.

why does everyone take everything I say so seriously?

Because there is no cues in the message to tell us that you are in any way NOT being completely serious. Should we just take everything you say to be in jest?

Also: I've been dating Bex for over 3 years...and I am still "strongly urged" not to play certain songs, use certain phrases, or grow a beard. Why do you ask? Because of previous relationships.

Now..I'm not forbidden from doing these things...I just have to endure the nasty look and the "you know, such and such used to do that right before he -----" etc. periodically.

In the mean time, I'm going to go and play some Rush while I "take a leak" and not shave for the weekend.
Damn... I could play some Metallica or Quote Larry Niven randomly too I guess.

Does everyone here know each other? Any other degrees of separation I should know about?

Who's Screwing Who:
Or: Why do those people keep using first names?

1) Eod-Sara: Everyone should have known this (OR)
2) Clme-Bex: See above (WI)
3) Mightymon-koko: Shagging. (OR)
4) Zippy: Look for the Zipster in alt.binaries (OZ)

5) MrSelfDestruct: Brings many frat buddies into the penIs board. (WI)
6) Bitchgoddess: Knows Eod, etc (WA)
7) Amazon: Likes Anal, punches men (FL)
8) Weis: Pen Poster, lives near eod (OR)
9) Biggles: Likes cats.

Yeah...I think that sums it up.

Sara... (blushing and am well pleased) I am your most loyal reader? Gosh gee willikers, thanks. I do check back more than once a day. I think everyone that posts on the main page is intelligent.

Um... You forgot Puzzling who really hasn't posted much anymore, but every so often he pops in. Can't wait to meet him when he goes on his road trip. HE'S a really smart guy.

It was where she posted the fantasy to begin with.

Personally though, I dont think she was kidding
