Hi
Sarah said that something might be happening Chicago ILX-wise next weekend (NOT THIS WEEKEND). Is that true? Sarah will be out of town and I'll be looking for things to do.

Hi.
Come to the Hideout 2nite.

Hi.
I'm going to go eat some chocolate frosting now.

Yeah, I think that's when Jordan's show at the Mill is going to be, yes? I might try to get in on that, depending on circumstances.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 2 March 2006 20:54 (twenty years ago)

I've got a bunch of friends coming to town next weekend. You're welcome to come out and hang with us.

― Steely Df'nM (OutDatWay), Thursday, 2 March 2006 20:55 (twenty years ago)

Nick, next weekend my band is playing at the Green Mill on both Friday and Saturday, and Jocelyn might be in town as well. There will also be Hot Doug's, come hot dogs or high water.

John, how did you find that picture?? Yeh, that's where I work.

― jesseOoooo, Thursday, 2 March 2006 20:57 (twenty years ago)

I think I might change my name to Pierogi Jones

Then you could join several other Polish women on a daytime chat show called Im Wodik.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 2 March 2006 20:57 (twenty years ago)

Jesse, I'm stalking you.

Kisses :)

I might have a massage with Eazy's housemate tonight. If she calls me back. Certain Noise Board posters think it's weird to wear any clothes whatsoever at a massage -- and I'm not so modest to reject that notion out of hand, but I feel like it's a little different since this a friend-of-a-friend at a house, rather than a professional in a professional setting. (I was just planning on wearing boxers, btw.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 2 March 2006 21:20 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I mean, at least wear your u-trou.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 2 March 2006 21:21 (twenty years ago)

I think it's a little weird to not go without at a massage, but I understand the mitigating circumstances. Why don't you ask the masseuse when you get there?

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 2 March 2006 21:21 (twenty years ago)

Do people groan during massages? This is an honest question. I mean, it has to feel good, but do people generally vocalize? I would imagine not, right?

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 2 March 2006 21:22 (twenty years ago)

I did last week, Manda; I would think that the Customer Is Always Right and that The Masseuse Has Heard It All.

I hope that works out, John - I'll be off at a pee wee hockey game in Wilmette.

― Eazy (Eazy), Thursday, 2 March 2006 21:25 (twenty years ago)

Okay, you know, I've never had a massage in my life (I mean, a real one, not just like a shoulder rub from a girlfriend), so I don't really know the protocol. I guess I'll ask her. I just know that Eric kept his pants on. But also: what happens? Do you undress in front of her? Or does she leave the room and come back with you lying on your stomach? Am I supposed to keep my ding-ding hidden from view?

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 2 March 2006 21:26 (twenty years ago)

hahaha. i think there are towels involved, and modesty regarding the ding-ding.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 2 March 2006 21:27 (twenty years ago)

The only distracting thought I had during the massage was whether the ultimate point was the pleasure during the massage or the please of how your body feels after the massage, but I guess the same question could be true of sex too.

xpost - John, it's all taken care of in the process - they want to make you feel comfortable and that nothing is inappropriate. She'll leave the room and you get under the sheet, something like that. There are sheets involved. I kept the pants on instinctively more than out of shyness but unbuttoned and lowered them a bit when the time was right.

― Eazy (Eazy), Thursday, 2 March 2006 21:28 (twenty years ago)

That's helpful, thanks.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 2 March 2006 21:30 (twenty years ago)

I've only had one real massage, and it was in Switzerland. I can't recall if I undressed in front of her or not. I do remember that I groaned enough to be polite, but not so earnestly as I would if I was getting a massage from my girlfriend.

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 2 March 2006 21:30 (twenty years ago)

She won't hear you groan through the ball-gag anyway.

― Eazy (Eazy), Thursday, 2 March 2006 21:31 (twenty years ago)

Btw, I thought I was lucky when I got the attractive Asian woman and Evan got the old Italian dude, but my she ended up being in a hurry and cutting things short while he threw down some cranial sacrotherapy that was apparently transcendent.

xpost, ha

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 2 March 2006 21:32 (twenty years ago)

Hey folks, 2 items for you:

1: Eazy: can i get in on the massage action? Help me out. I neeeed a massage.

2: http://frograbbitmonkey.gerousia.com/index.php?topic=1221.msg20173#msg20173 for those who are registered users.

― jesseOooo, Thursday, 2 March 2006 21:45 (twenty years ago)

after battling with my furniture the past two days (not to mention laundry last night) i could use a massage. or a jacuzzi. or a vial of flexeril and a fifth of tanqueray.

― chicago kevin (chicago kevin), Thursday, 2 March 2006 21:47 (twenty years ago)

I emailed your roomie, Eric.
All the massages I've received involved nudity and a sheet and massage oil.

― Sarah Madkitten McLusky (coco), Thursday, 2 March 2006 21:54 (twenty years ago)

I've sort of been hoping that I would fuck my back muscles up somehow so that I can justify getting a real massage.

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 2 March 2006 21:56 (twenty years ago)

I'm still very much interested in a massage. My bike is sore basically all the time.

― gbx (skowly), Thursday, 2 March 2006 21:57 (twenty years ago)

Perhaps it just needs the oil, without the massage?

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 2 March 2006 22:00 (twenty years ago)

Did I send you the info, Gib? (I sent Jesse the info.)

― Eazy (Eazy), Thursday, 2 March 2006 22:01 (twenty years ago)

I don't think you emailed it...?

I am quitting my job in, like, 15 minutes, btw.

NERVOUS

― gbx (skowly), Thursday, 2 March 2006 22:26 (twenty years ago)

Aggh! So exciting. What are you nervous about? Do they not know that you're leaving?

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 2 March 2006 22:27 (twenty years ago)

I guess obviously they don't. Duh. But they don't know about the Montana plan?

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 2 March 2006 22:27 (twenty years ago)

The know nuzzink.

I'm giving them four weeks. In four weeks, they were expecting to take me on as a fulltime employee.

― gbx (skowly), Thursday, 2 March 2006 22:28 (twenty years ago)

Ooooh, I see. You're not fulltime now?

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 2 March 2006 22:29 (twenty years ago)

Fulltime contractor. They were supposed to have offered me real employment, oh, 4 months ago.

― gbx (skowly), Thursday, 2 March 2006 22:30 (twenty years ago)

Sons of bitches. Don't be nervous, everyone gives notice sooner or later!!

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 2 March 2006 22:35 (twenty years ago)

I know! But I'm the THIRD person quitting in the last week!

THEY THINK THERE'S A CONSPIRACY

― gbx (skowly), Thursday, 2 March 2006 22:36 (twenty years ago)

gimme me some more tough talk.

― gbx (skowly), Thursday, 2 March 2006 22:36 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, no kidding. Buh bye. Maybe they should hire people permanently from the get-go and they wouldn't take off so much.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 2 March 2006 22:36 (twenty years ago)

They will not remember your name five years from now. Might as well leave and forget theirs too. BUH BYE.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 2 March 2006 22:41 (twenty years ago)

Wow. Good luck!

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 2 March 2006 22:42 (twenty years ago)

It's weird how so many jobs are dream-like in that way - they're important while they're happenening in the present, and then afterwards it's as if they never happened. That's why it's strange to think of the people who are still at a job that I left years ago - people who are still working in an office I worked in 10 years ago, even.

― Eazy (Eazy), Thursday, 2 March 2006 22:43 (twenty years ago)

Evan, don't let them make you feel like you owe them anything! It's true, companies will toss you out if you become inconvenient -- however bad your immediate superior might feel about it, they're not going down for you if the company is reorganized or whatev. So do what you need to for YOURSELF.

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 2 March 2006 22:47 (twenty years ago)

THE DIE IS CAST

― gbx (skowly), Thursday, 2 March 2006 22:56 (twenty years ago)

RUBICON? CROSSED.

― gbx (skowly), Thursday, 2 March 2006 23:15 (twenty years ago)

I am not the Scrabble champion of Chicagoland. No way.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 3 March 2006 02:16 (twenty years ago)

GO EVAN GO!!!

Now you get four glorious post-notice weeks. Those are the best. The best!!! It's a veritable FUCK WORK FUNZONE!

― Nutsy the Squirrel (pullapartgirl), Friday, 3 March 2006 02:37 (twenty years ago)

Massages:

I've had lots of massages. You can wear your pants if you want - I like to be buck nekkid. You get under a sheet and lie face down while the MT is out of the room. When she massages, she only uncovers the part of you that she's going to massage. So she'll pull the sheet down to your waist and do your back. Then cover your back and uncover one leg up to the thigh. Etc. When it's time to roll over, she'll do this nifty trick where she lifts the sheet over you like a tent, and look away, and you can spin over without wiggling your bits at her.

Dudes (me, I like to say ladies and dudes when I'm being all funny and shit, but try to stick to "women" for ladies and "men" or sometimes "guys" for dudes when being serious. I strongly dislike girls, gals, chicks, or any term that infantalizes ladies. But that is just one lady's opinion!) often get boners during massages. Sometimes people make noises. People also fart, although I would rather die.

My best friend is an LMT in Oklahoma (and previously in Delaware and Oakland and Atlanta) and OH the stories she could tell. You are not the ugliest, stinkiest, fattest, skinniest, or most malformed that the massage therapist has ever seen.

― Nutsy the Squirrel (pullapartgirl), Friday, 3 March 2006 02:38 (twenty years ago)

Hair:

Amanda, your hair looks really fabulous! The purple sweater really compliments the hair color, and your eyes are like zing! zip! zow!

― Nutsy the Squirrel (pullapartgirl), Friday, 3 March 2006 02:40 (twenty years ago)

Potatoes:

17. vichyssoise

― Nutsy the Squirrel (pullapartgirl), Friday, 3 March 2006 02:43 (twenty years ago)

Anyway, she didn't call me back. Let me know how yours goes with her, Jenny -- I'll probably try to schedule for next week instead.

Also: what's infantilizing about "gal"? Because it's derived from "girl"? See, I thought it had the advantage of being an all-purpose sort of word like "lady" -- which I only don't like because "lady" makes me think of a very specific sort of woman, like some Upper West Side dowager with a mink stole. "Ladies Who Lunch," that sort of thing.
