That sounds like a good idea. Thanks Chy. Any particular search words I should try?

Eddie Izzard cracks me up. Bill Engvall. George Carlin or Bill Maher if you don't mind stuff on the more liberal/caustic end of things. Ummmmm, there's another that I can't remember...:rolleyes:

Bill Engvall always does it for me. That irish guy who was on the Jim Carey show and now has a late night show is flippin' HILARIOUS!
 
So, yesterday I picked up the three volumes of Foucault's History of Sexuality, Power/Knowledge, and Derrida's The Animal That Therefore I Am.

My husband saw them on my desk this morning, and - joking - said, "If you read these, I'll give you $1000."

He doesn't think there's a chance in hell I'm gonna do it.
 
Gabriel Iglesias! That's the other comedian I couldn't remember last night.

He's good too. Very funny dude.:D
 
A friend of mine had a barbecue yesterday that pictures and things are popping up on Facebook of, and to which I was not invited despite talking to said friend the day before. I'm actually quite hurt.

That'd hurt my feelings, too. I'm sorry. :rose:

Thanks. It's the strangest thing, now I'm thinking about it - as I've got more into the London scene, the time I spend with my existing friends has dwindled, and I'm not sure if it's because we're naturally growing apart or because they don't like the person I'm becoming. And I really hope it's not the latter, because I love the person I'm becoming and, really, it's about time I can say that.

How long have you been friends with the existing friends? Are these friends that you were in school with?

That's happened to me before, and it sucks.

I've found that I've started to naturally grow away from my vanilla friends a little bit. I have a lot less in common with them now: I run in different circles, I spend my time at very different sorts of social events, etc. I've found that staying in touch with my vanilla friends has really been a huge effort, and one that I'm less and less enthusiastic about undertaking every day. I go and hang out with them, and find that I'm pretty uninterested in everything their talking about, and feel uncomfortable telling them about my life, about what I've been doing, and about everything that's been making my life so goddamn exciting and fun.

It's always a bummer to realize that you're growing apart from people who you considered to be good friends, no doubt about it, but since I let myself stop feeling pressure to keep in close touch with old friends, and to allow my new friendships to grow, I've been a lot happier. You just have to find a balance that works for you.
 
masses of blood tests in the morning. yuck

oh, and at work, some bitch had let her kid pee in one of the changing rooms! (its a clothing shop)

I agree with you, completely. I think it is a cycle "we" all go through at some point or another. It sucks.

My best friends from high school and I have grown apart greatly since we all went our separate ways. They are my 'nilla friends but thankfully all of my friends I've made in college know of my kink. They don't know all the details but I don't have to hide it from them which helps with growing apart from the 'nilla high school friends.

That happened to me when I was working at Meier and Frank. It was a week or two before Christmas, and I heard this kid tell his mom like four times that he had to go potty, then I heard him peeing in my stall. And the mom barely got off her phone long enough for me to tell her.

Good luck with the blood tests! Hopefully they'll get ya good the first time, and it'll go quickly.

As for the second thing...WTF?
:eek:
 
I'm having the hardest time wrapping my brain around a conversation that I'm having with my cousins husband on FB.

He says that in North Carolina they don't celebrate Memorial Day, and all that happens is "Black bike week."

I can't imagine a red state not celebrating a holiday dedicated to troops who died during military service, let alone a federal one.


:confused:

Those are some seriously good books. Rock on.

Thanks.

Time to be a little touchy-feely here, but you are obviously vastly more comfortable with yourself these days. A lot of your acerbic and often toxic sarcasm previously spoke of self-loathing. What you present now is confident, comfortable, and still funny. I'd call that success.

As to the 'nilla friends, same thing happened to me. If anything, my tale would read similar to Syd's. Fortunately, my closest friends worked past it, and one is even moderately involved in the Scene now. The rest, well, I can't say that I'm terribly fussed over it.

It's a combination of the phrase "Those that matter won't mind, and those that mind don't matter," and my background as an army brat. The first part is simply good advice. The good friends won't mind that you are colouring outside the lines. The second part, well, is my own personal weirdness. If someone walks out of my life, I roll on. I feel bad to a point, but then I move on. It's happened so often that it's just life.

This is not to say that I've not been hurt by my friends, I have. In my case though, it was because they changed as much as I did, and do not act like they once did in some cases.

Overall though, there is only one person that you can't get away from - you. As a result, you'd better goddamned well be able to live with that person. It sounds like you are doing pretty well on that front.

I'm gonna throw my lot in with everyone else, as you grow you'll find that you don't have a lot in common with certain friends anymore, and that's okay. This will continue to happen, even with your new friends. And, to be honest, this is VERY common with people your age especially; once you're out of school you realize that school was the main thing holding you together. It's sad, watching friends go, but as long as you're making new friends I wouldn't worry to much about it.
