ugh....I'm so upset I didn't get to come out! Got called in for a 12 hour night shift..sometimes being a nurse is a drag! Any post-party gettogethers happening today? I'm severely sleep deprived (haven't slept since going to work) but would still be into meeting all/some of you.....
That I just so happen to live in Whitby is a wonderfully convenient coincidence. As far as helping....I'll just have to check my schedule. If I'm not working, or working day shift, I'd be more than happy to.
We have just the thing for you my friend. The top of her head isn't flat, but she has cupholders built into her breasts. Would that do? We've also fashioned a built-in bottle-opener...right where you would expect it to be.
You're all right of course. Problem is that most of my "goals in life" have nothing to do with a career or material items. I already have a great job which allows me to exercise my intellect (this is one thing I have always wanted), I have an amazing nine year old daughter who is the light of my life (could never have asked for better than her)...what I really want now is companionship....partnership....intimacy.....support....passion.......all of the things that I would hope for in a man. Until I find that, I don't really think there are any other "goals" that I would strive for.
I have so little time for socializing--that's half the problem. When I'm not working I have my daughter, so I really don't get "out" much (though her and I do get out and do a lot of things together).
Where do you suppose the best place would be for me to go? Say I get a babysitter...and go out somewhere....I would likely be alone (as I really don't have a lot of friends who would go out)....so where should I go where I won't look like I'm trying to get laid (since I'm NOT)? Meat markets are not for me in this situation....that's more of a "night out with the girls" kinda thing.
I really don't know who I'm taking to this concert yet...sad when you can't even think of someone to bring to an ELTON JOHN concert...damn I'm way to single.
You guys sure do know how to make a gal feel wanted...*sigh*
He's been quite busy lately, so we haven't connected yet. I'm not going to put eggs in the basket quite yet, but I know we would be great friends.
We'll see how it goes--I will keep you updated of course.
Thanks again for your kind words. They really do make me feel good. I don't think we compliment each other enough in our lives...we should make a point of complimenting at least one person a day--it really makes you feel good, doesn't it?
I have tried to do this for a long time now....even to people I'm not overly fond of....I'll tell them how much I love their shoes, or tell them that their ideas (voiced in a meeting) were really great...Kill em with kindness....not such a bad reputation to have.
What a true and real thing to say. Truth is, if I detected any overblown ego I would have no desire to reconnect. He seems to be deeper and more insightful that he ever was.
Interestingly enough, I recently conducted an experiment with a male friend of mine from work. He has been in the online dating scene for some years now, but has had no luck in attracting "his type" of woman. He is quite good looking and very interesting, but he is also a little non-conforming and "unique" (both of which I would consider assets, but not all do). Anyhow, I told him I would create a profile for him, and make some initial contacts to women on his behalf--women who I would consider to be "his type". His old profile, while containing a lot of information about him, would be misinterpreted unless you knew him already. In less than a week of the new profile going up, I had found "the woman" for him (his words). They have been dating for about a month now, and for the first time in 8 years he has taken ALL of his profile off of dating sites (and she has as well). It seems that I have found "the perfect woman" for him!
Now...if I could only work on my own companion...hmmm..
And I did afterall say "I FIND MYSELF DISAGREEING" and not "everyone here disagrees". Ergo, it should be of no consequence to you what I do or do not agree with.
And others are more than welcome to consider me "prone" to say things that they dislike as well.
Good grief, woman...let it just be what it is for once, will you?
If you wanted to play pick-apart, I could enlighten you with a few of your own faults as well. But that's not what I'm here for (nor what this thread is about)
To add onto my last comment, I could see your point if I suddenly out of the blue said what I did...but I should think that this is not breaking news for Wikked...and I did direct that post at her.
I agree, Lion...I have very strong opinions and when provoked I tend to lose grip of the "edit" button...however, this is not so in this case.
Wikked and I have had disagreements in the past...my comment above was a reference to our past failures to see eye to eye...and recognition of the fact that I completly see her point here...it was nothing more than that.
I don't think it's offensive for one to state fact. Fact is, I have publically made it clear in other threads that I have disagreed with pasts posts and even at times how opinions were presented (at the cost of others, for a generic and hypothetical example). That's it. No biggie.
Frankly, Wikked, I am a little surprised. I find myself often disagreeing strongly not only with what you say, but how you often are prone to saying it...HOWEVER..in this case...I am in total agreement, and find that you've made your point remarkably well.
Why yes. Yes I do. I'm finding that I have more than a few of those lately. It seems quite a few people that I have known since childhood have found some level of fame and fortune. V is just another one to add to the heap while I'm waiting for my own 15 minutes of fame!
Honestly I do not think my personality would allow me to NOT meet him should the opportunity present itself. I was just wondering what CSers would feel in a similar situation. Was an artsty cute but eccentric high school crush....but now is a hot-as-hell vicariously famous drummer who has toured the globe.
Just not a situation that I would have ever thought to arise.
Thanks all...truly it really hasn't gotten to a point yet where I'm avoiding meeting him or anything, but there definitely is talk of us reuniting (as in socially). I'm not really even so worried about "romance" or anything like that. Truly, I would just be happy if we could be friends again...and let the rest fall where it may. But I am finding myself nervous to even meet as friends...stupid, I know it is...but I sort of catch myself saying "oh don't embarass yourself, girl...this guy has now toured with famous people...what in god's name would he see in YOU (even as a friend)"...believe me, I know it's dumb...and I wouldn't consider myself to have a low self-esteem...that's why I'm finding myself in unfamiliar territory at the moment...I'm not used to feeling inadequate (in fact, most of the time I am quite confident of just how damned ADEQUATE I am~! LoL)
True again...though there already is the "what ifs" going on now...I had comfortably settled into the "what ifs" before he came back into the picture..
Even people that can't STAND Elton John would go to an Elton John concert. He's a musical icon..the man helped mold modern music into what it is today....it's like Elvis Presley....The Beatles....Pink Floyd....hell...probably even Madonna (though HER I can't stand)...
You don't have to be an Elton John fan to attend one of his shows...
Besides..I'll have you know that I've already sold the other 4 for more than twice what I paid for them...I think "scored" was a pretty damned good way of putting it in that case.
I have recently come back into contact with a guy from high school. We had amazing chemistry back then, and were just beginning to "date" when we lost contact (I had to move abruptly). I have thought about him many times over the years...sort of the "I wonder what would have happened if" story. A month or so ago I found him online..by accident. We have been talking on MSN, and it turns out that he is not in a serious relationship at the moment. We seem to have the same tongue-and-cheek chemistry that we had back then.
My question is this:
Should I meet him in person again? I don't look the same as I looked back then...hair is short now (yuck)...few pounds heavier...I should also tell you that he seems to have found some type of fame along the way. He's a professional musician, and has played for some VERY big names, including Nelly Furtado, since then (This is how I found him...saw his name listed in her musician's credits from her biggest album). This is where my hesitancy comes in. Back then he was just this sweet guy that I knew...now he's that, plus all that being a well-known musician offers him--including, I would assume, the pick of any woman he would so choose.
Just wanted to share that I managed to score tickets to the upcoming Elton John concert in Toronto. I'm pretty damned excited about it, too! Now if I could just figure out who I was going to take...that seems to be the downside of singledom...no one to take to awesome concerts...
I don't care..I'm going to go anyhow, even if I go by myself...this one I wouldn't miss for the world.
