Real-life Avatars

[shereads]

It apparently bubbles out when I'm on cold meds. But I was raised to go looking for life.

I was advised by my dad to take the Civil Service exam, get a job with the postal service, and retire with a government pension.

Instead, i went looking for life. Found a lovely one that needed some work. Built it into something worth having, worth loving. Determined to hang onto it, I gambled and lost. Lost it all. Starting over now, with no more or less of a life than I might have had if I'd never worked a day in my life.

Dad's advice about that dull, steady life with the postal service seems as wise now as it once seemed dull. For a bit of security this late in my life, I'd be happy to endure some boredom.

I'm really, really scared.

Oops. Now my meds are talking. Ambien, the drug-of-choice for terrified insomniacs.

Goodnight, sr71. Thanks for the smiles. I hope you get some rest and feel better in the morning.

All I wanted was a calm, quiet life in the suburbs like my parents had. I never wanted adventure, travel didn't appeal and the last thing I thought I wanted was to teach. Shows how much you really know when you're young. Life came looking for me and is still chasing me up trees. Go figure.

Whereas, I went looking for it and tackled it head-on. You never know how close you can come to a James Dean exit until you have the chance to look back and reflect.

Now I just want to settle down.

Settled is good. Just keep your head down so that you don't get noticed when you don't want to be.

I'm not likely to be noticed.

But I've always believed that life only gives you what you're capable of handling, if you can figure out a way.

I try to think of you as the guy in your book cover.

Would that I was.

Now which Hangout Honey would be the gal?

Read "The Golden Triangle" then. She's the blonde (and maybe this can explain how I've managed to juggle all these years).

I'm really afraid to ask this one, but I can't help myself. Is this how you met her?

The story takes liberties. We met at university--several years before the story setting. We worked as a couple (as did my parents before me).

Nah. When you get through whatever crisis you might be in now, you'll look back and be glad for the adventure you had. There really is no security in security no matter how it looks or how many older boomers you might know that seemed to have lived that 'guaranteed' life.



... Okay, so that was just a bunch of shit, but somewhere in the middle, the balance between some adventure and risk and boring work-a-day security is good. And I do hope you can look back someday and be glad for taking the exciting path.

Speaking of AVs. Oh yeah, we left that topic a day ago. But anyway ...

As you can see, I don't have one. Well, I doubt anyone really wants to see me, but I was thinking... Some guys seem to like to put up pics of hot girls, so when I (rarely) have it turned on I'm shocked to discover the guy I thought as a guy is really a girl only to find out he is a guy with a girl AV(clear?) So, I was thinking how I would rather look at hot guys or hard cocks than a bad pic of me or any other girl for that matter (just my preference, not commentary,) but I don't have any. First I wondered if Wildehafer would give me one, since his are my fav, but well, that would be rude to even ask and folks might think I'm him since everyone sees his pics on his AV.

But now I think I should see if a contest might work for my AV spot. Guys could send me pics of themselves and I would post the winner. If I got a lot of great pics I could just rotate them.

Whaddya think?

LO. I thought you were a guy earlier without even an AV confusion. So now we're over that, I think you can post anything you want to.

Darn! And I've been so careful to not give up a sex. Then again, do I sound like a guy when I write?

Well, I need some pics...

On the boards, yes.

But then I'm weird. I thought a long standing member of Lit was a female when he was male.

I probably should take that as a compliment, but frankly, it sort of freaks me out!

My evening plans have now changed. First will be the latte, no-whip, non-fat, 2 Spenda, extra foam. Then a white wine as I curl up on the couch for another tear-filled night of Never Been Kissed and You've Got Mail. Then a bubble bath.

Hopefully my femininity will be securely back in place.

Ok, that humor was totally feminine.

You've suddenly appeared in a satin bathrobe-ish thing in my mind. Definitely female in form.

But unless I learn how to swoon on the boards, I have to re-think the whole penis AV contest. I was getting so excited there at the prospect.

You'll just have to post all over the place to get to 1000 posts where you can change your title, and say 'I'm a woman' under your name. It's that easy.

ps. I'm sure sher will be all a-quiver at the mention of a penis av contest.

I thought I was already doing my darnedest to race to that thousand! Don't think I can pick up the pace any more. But now I have a valid reason to be addicted to Lit!

And who am I missing? Who is sher?

Now, to just get my nerve up to start the contest.

I'll just sit here with you, since I'm 'totally non-musicals-oriented' too.

Speaking of the Avatars I love that one!!!!

Oh and the tits in mine are really mine Sorry Driphoney

*blushing*

But then we all know I'm a little slow on the uptake.

Think she might like to help me with my penis AV contest?

In that case, I can't allow you to enter! Besides, if I want tits, I could maybe post my own.

Pretty flower, BTW.

Not at all...the name abbreviations can be confusing.

She might...her title often says "carpe penis"

Um, you wouldn't happen to be a guy, would you?

Perhaps you could be my first entrant? Oh, pleeease? Just send it private, I won't tell anyone it's you.

His adam's apple is far sexier than his penis. If there's a contest, he should submit that. I'm going to vote for it.
