Litiquette IV

[Schwarzschild]

There are only two days I'd ever change, and those would be for someone else. All the yesterdays, good and bad, are what brought me today. And today, no matter how tough, is something not everyone gets. So I'll take what I know from yesterday, to try and make tomorrow better until I run out of todays.

 

[LWulf]

The trouble with yesterdays, is that...eventually...it must become today.

At the moment, I am definitely looking at tomorrows, because it has to be better than todays (otherwise, what's the point? Unlike SOME in this thread, I'm not a masochist (I'm not against struggle and hard work to get something good, but pain for pain's sake simply isn't for me)).

So... my answer doesn't seem like such a stretch in understanding.

I'm still trying to figure out what kind of pastry papa is.

Back to pastry? Chained would be a creamed horn...

My today is done. Like yesterday, some good, some bad but quite different. I wouldn't swap days, known entities or not. Each day adds something to my life. It's a journey and I'm happy to take each day as it comes, perhaps taking from what I've learned along the way to make for better days ahead.

 

[Paul_Chance]

The question is, would you change today for yesterday? Knowing what you know about yesterday, and not knowing much about today, are you willing to trade? What about today for tomorrow, and even less sure entity.

Is the enemy you know better than the enemy you don't know?

Or is the dream of a better tomorrow worth having today?

No, I'll take today, every day. The past was a lot of fun, but whether near or far, it's still the past. I don't even like reruns on TV.

For me, the dream of a better tomorrow is always worth having. I try to make the decisions and choices today that will shape that better tomorrow. One step at a time.

Yes, it's the enemy you don't know that has a big tactical and strategic advantage over you - because they are working against you and you don't even know it. Known enemies are predictable entities. Unknown enemies aren't.

 

[SMNaughtywife]

Would I change yesterday for today, hell no!
I was traveling and spent time with the in-laws. I'd rather walk across the Sahara desert backwards, with no shoes or water and blindfolded then repeat my Sunday. (and Saturday at that matter.)

My days are a crap shoot. Somewhat predictable, but then when I think all is smooth sailing, a curve balls comes whizzing in. Balance, there is none. (Or maybe I have created my own accord that looks more like an Evil Knievel stunt.) So I'll trade crazy today or maybe a less crazier tomorrow. I'll live on the edge. No, I'm not a crazy unstable moron, my plate is just really full.

And that enemy jibber-jabber, Paul_C summed it up nicely. I'll go with his answer.

Today I'll go for a little more straight forward of a topic. Know need for the righteous dude approach every day, is there?

Most of all, touching is the most erotic part of sex. Skin on skin was mentioned most as the one thing to be kept from an encounter. Without being touched, sex becomes almost transactional, void of any feeling. If the choice was being touched or being fucked, which would you choose? The selection of one excludes the other. Could you go a month without the intimacy of touch or could you go a month, without sexual releSe?

I'll take the get-fucked option.

 

[beachbaby179]

Touching. No question. When intimacy is gone, I crave it. And...you didn't limit where the touching can happen. So I think I'm good. (Finally, one I can answer before coffee).

Thanks a lot. Make me sound like a slut, why dontcha?

I never said that. You're just a sensitive slut.. oops...

I was just kidding

I choose touching as being most important. It's a powerful form of communication, and as said by you -- a most erotic part of sex. It's a delightful and delicious way to converse, to enjoy each other, and to connect.

Edited to add: With or without words.

Think of reasons why sometimes people are afraid to touch or the intense, heavy sighs that emanate when two people quit fighting their attraction and touch each other for the very first time.

What I like best is that touching can be a little bit of everything. Friendly, loving, sweet, warm, sensual .. or .. smokin' hot and wretchedly sinful.

Mean bastard, I'm insulted!

[SMNaughtywife]

At the moment, I'm going with fucked. I'm wanting and touching isn't quite gonna quench my thirst.

 

[ChainedUp]

I'm a list maker

Those that like to fuck - Trekka & SMN

Those that like to touch - RacyRed & Beachbaby

And Pmann, no list for you!

Files appropriately.

 

[cascadiabound]

Add me to the touch list.

I need it. I crave it.
I find I need to touch people to connect with them on a non-sexual level too.
I am a hugger.
Skin on skin contact, even if it is just my fingertips lightly on your wrist;
or the comfort of my hand on your shoulder to let you know that I have your back.


(and BTW - you can't fuck without touching first).

Today most of us will just have a standard day. Sure things will happen that run us through the standard set of experiences and emotions but it will be a Wednesday. Yet for a small few, today will be the biggest day in their life, ever. And it will happen without us even knowing. It fascinates me that someone's most life altering day will happen next to people who have no idea. So not really a question today as much as a topic, take the time to be aware of those around you, who knows, today could mean everything to them for the rest of their lives.

 

[Trekka]

This ticker fascinates me... You watch it go up and down, and you realize how, every second, people are dying, and babies are being born... While I eat my granola bar and make the grocery list.

See, that's neat, but, I also sort of hate how it's kind of removing the fact that it's people involved.

I thought about this very thing...just this morning. I have a dinner tonight in NJ, right across the river from downtown Manhattan. With a great view of where the Twin Towers of the WTC are SUPPOSED to be. I lost more than a few friends that day. Some of them were firefighters, who tend to live every day to its fullest, knowing there are no guarantees about tomorrow. But some of them were just going to work. No clue at all what was about to happen. I wonder how many of them had regrets about how they left home that day. Or if any of them had the subway doors closed on them by a snickering, uncaring person. I still think about these things, 15 years later, and it affects how I treat people because you just never know...

Distractions are everywhere. And if you let them, they can become all consuming. Sometimes they are good distractions other times not. Lit can be a distraction and even within lit there can distractions. A vortex that sucks us away from what we want or why we're here. Do you notice when it's happening (I suppose everyone will answer "yes" because if you don't notice, well then you don't notice)? Are you good at staying focused on what ever the original reason for being here? Or is all of Lit your distraction and you allow it to pull you whereever it wants to take you?

 

[LWulf]

Difficult to say. I limit my distractions. I'm very self-manipulative that way. So, I'll say I'm mostly aware of when I'm distracted. However, when I go into something that distracts me, If I'm not careful I can get swallowed up by one of the limited distractions.

Sorry -- my mind's been taken up with all sorts of other things today.

What was the question again?

No worries. This place has always had far more readers than responders. I'll keep posting, people can interact to the degree they want/can. Nothing wrong with a little peace and quiet on occasion.
