yeah, he is a dumb stupid. good on you for being awesome throughout the relationship – it doesn't sound like easy chops, and you were like 900x more than he deserved

Oh God Laurel, my last bf displayed about 50% of these tendencies and even half-dose was infuriating. Sleep, no fun exertions, anger, hidden dodgy past I found out about on a blog...

goole, Monday, 25 June 2012 21:31 (eleven years ago) link

ugh, laurel i didn't know it was this bad. i was in the path of the seizure on your birthday and it was pretty scary in a "why is this person knocking me over and kicking me?" way and of course once i realized what was happening also scary - sorry it sounds like that was a regular occurence :(

glad he is kicked to the curb. let's get "boys are jerks" drinks soon.

Awesome! I'm glad for you, bell. Let's hang out, possibly the weekend after this one! I'll be away for this one.

But now I'm wondering which std is statistically almost impossible to pass on?

mookieproof, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 16:33 (eleven years ago) link

well, then, hoping that the next duvet-musser isn't a complete asshole, i guess

wow, L, i'm so glad you saw fit to kick this one to the curb asap and wash your hands of him
<3 you

Hep-C, for the curious.

It's not really an STD I guess, since it's almost impossible to get it that way, but for the purposes of my having been put at risk unknowingly it's p much the same.

how did I get here? why am I in the whiskey aisle? this is all so (Laurel), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 17:35 (eleven years ago) link

Fair enough, thank you. I hadn't really thought about that as an STD. I have a few friends who have it, but I presumed they all got it through drug use.

Bingo.

unmentioned STIs I have blogged

You know, speaking of duvet mussing, what do boys have against sheets??? I haven't met one in...ever? that used a top sheet. Hardly ever. WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE THAT THEY WANT TO SLEEP UNDER DIRTY DUVETS?

how did I get here? why am I in the whiskey aisle? this is all so (Laurel), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 17:54 (eleven years ago) link

I never use a top sheet but I wash the duvet/duvet cover once a week.

(✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 17:57 (eleven years ago) link

I am iffy on duvets and sleep above a fitted sheet and below a top sheet and light blanket

mh, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 17:57 (eleven years ago) link

also if the sheet and blanket aren't tucked under the end of the bed I get fussy

mh, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 17:58 (eleven years ago) link

Oh my god you're like the Brigadoon of men.

how did I get here? why am I in the whiskey aisle? this is all so (Laurel), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 17:59 (eleven years ago) link

If the sheet and blanket ARE tucked in it makes me want to die.

(✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 17:59 (eleven years ago) link

Laurel you must be talking about a comforter that you don't wash, right? Cause I change the fitted sheet and duvet cover once a week making a top sheet just an extra nuisance imo.

(✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:00 (eleven years ago) link

I don't mean don't wash ever - just less frequently.

(✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:00 (eleven years ago) link

i wish i had dishy stuff about my breakup but it's more like nerd gripes. "-you claim there are no good sci-fi writers besides borges (EYE ROLL) even though you haven't even read much sci-fi besides dumb cyberpunk, despite me frequently recommending and offering to lend you stuff you would have liked. p.s. neal stephenson blows."

john zorn has ruined klezmer for an entire generation (bene_gesserit), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:00 (eleven years ago) link

My husband conditioned ME into the top sheet - I was a comforter sleeper (would wash it monthly or so. I was gross, but only just so..)
I like a good tuck but don't bother all the time. If it's too tight it hurts my toes (I am the most delicate of flowers, clearly)

xp LOL b_g you're amazing. Good fights! (I have no opinion on this)

I literally cannot sleep in a bed with tucked in covers. The first thing I do at a hotel is untuck all the bedding. I need my feet exposed.

b_g fyi I would like to meet you privately in the parking lot to discuss matters re Neal Stephenson

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:03 (eleven years ago) link

top sheet- yes
tucked in- please
made perfectly every morning- naaaa

I blame the prurience (darraghmac), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:04 (eleven years ago) link

top sheet yes
tucked in always
bed made...meh, it's nice when I change the sheets but I don't require it otherwise. I'm really only ever in my bedroom to sleep. If I spent more time in there reading or whatnot I would def make my bed.

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:06 (eleven years ago) link

My god you tucked in people are all crazy. It gets so hot and stuffy!! The only thing worse would be if you said you wore socks in addition to tucking. AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

(✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:07 (eleven years ago) link

yeah I hate tucked-in as well, feel like i'm TRAPPED

kinder, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:10 (eleven years ago) link

I have to start out tucked in and cozy, so that I may throw the sheets about in my sleep when I warm up

yes! i feel this way. i cannot have the end of anything be tucked in anywhere while sleeping and must kick it free before i can even think about relaxing in bed.

rayuela, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:25 (eleven years ago) link

tucked-in is the only way to ensure the blankets will be laying evenly across your body when you pull them tight! savages.

y'all need bedding suspenders
