My dog thinks he is tough but in fact he is very small and woollen with round, shiny eyes.
He would blow kisses at the coyotes and try and get them to chase him. Then he would let them drink his water while he sang 'Imagine'.

if someone said this to me in a bar after a particularly long day i would make a secret mental note that they are probably the greatest person i have ever met.

the dentist's nurse correctly guessed my star sign recently, claiming she has a gift, but my file was up on the computer screen in the surgery when she did it and she was standing next to it, behind me, when she was talking about it so i was extremely skeptical, though i faked some awe because i felt sad for her.

when i arrived she had said, 'how's bub?' and when i said calmly, 'i don't have any children' she went into huge these long profuse apologies and ended up saying it was probably for the best and that children are completely overrated, she betrayed her own children just to make me feel better when i was quite peaceful about the whole thing anyway, i told i think children are very nice and in the end i let a small shadow cross my face so she would change the subject, which she did, to astrology.

Cockblocking is a most asshole maneuver BUT it is useful in Scrabble to keep others from getting the triple words scores & c. (That is what my gang calls it anyway.)

sometimes it's the swain's proprietary air and the snarling looks he gives his friends, like a cat under a table guarding a sausage, that is the true blocker in this scenario, but the friends get unfairly blamed because the swain lacks self-awareness.

I led a girl on for a long time whom I liked as a friend but I really didn't want to make sweet love to her. Eventually I got married to someone else and she got really angry at me and wrote a "book" of sorts wherein I was the evil antagonist who kills her lover, etc.

These boundary kinds of things do need to be made clear, I have learned.

Olden but golden:

I had a dream last night that I was chatting to my puppy after he had returned from a walk with Mr. estela.
Me (happy high-pitched squeaky voice): Harry! what did you do on your walk?
Harry (cheery puppy voice): I chased a bird and some crabbits!
Me: Crabbits??!!
Harry: Yes, some crabbits!

-- estela, Thursday, 3 April 2003 21:23 (5 years ago) Bookmark Link

When I told Mr. estela about my dream he asked enviously, 'What did his voice sound like?' and I said, 'Oh, you know'.

I hate it when I finally send emails to people I owe an email to and they send a huge long reply five minutes later, putting me straight back into debt. It's discouraging and leads to longer and longer silences from me.

Apparently, 75% of office workers have a "workplace spouse" - a fellow employee that you have an intense relationship with due to the fact that you spend most of your working week together, and whom you would try to protect to ensure that they remain close to you and in the relationship. And I presume the gender that you're attracted to.

I think I have one of these workplace spouses and our relationship has been getting weirder in recent times to the point of outright flirting.

In short: HOW TO COPE
