You've seen the dress? Bitch.

It is about ironically enough about trying to cut thru the vapid shit like pucci dresses and red hi cuts and getting to what is real.

At the end of the day do I give a fuck that she wants to die alone with cats? I'm very cranky right now. sorry dtb.
I'm beginning to seriously doubt you're a paralegal. In fact, I'm beginning to seriously doubt you have the language skills to work in the mail room. Housekeeping?

I always thought they were apocryphal. I had an uncle who, anytime he was at our house and I was leaving for a date, would ask me if I was going to take her to the beach and watch the grunion running. He definitely wasn't talking about fish. Or minions. Although I would guess there would be some grunting involved.







I usually responded that we would rather go park down by the washed-out bridge on Walden Avenue and fuck.

I'm smart!), over-compensating, large-racked, asian corporate paralegal (or is it "deal" paralegal, as opposed to those pesky rider-drafter practice areas) who is prone to calling people "ugly" or "divorced" or "single", which you seem to believe are forms of insults. And that you don't like female attorneys much.

Have I missed some indicator of substance along the way? Because I'd be happy to re-evaluate if I'm giving you a raw deal.

Actaully, I am in the same boat, I was just worried some how it would be a conflictual or additional requirement above and beyond my WA. As it stands, at the end of the day, it looks like if I am in compliance with/fulfillment of WA's reqs, I am cool with IL.

If I wasn't drinking before the Yankees' touchdown in the top of the seventh, I sure was then. The Sox need new cornerbacks. Their prevent defense sucks.

I must be psychic!
 
A couple weeks ago I dreamed that the Lawn Nazi next door built a fence along our property line. This evening he came over to ask my permission for dump trucks to drive between our houses (the houses are so close together that driving between them pretty much straddles the property lines) because ---- he is going to build a fence!

The good news for me is that he is going to even out the slope from my yard to his so I won't have to mow downhill into his fence.

But if the guys on my other side start moving their fence into my yard (which was the second part of that dream), I'm going to get worried.

But it does make me multi dimensional and more complex than when I was single. when I was single all I had to worry about was me, and my outfit for that day and like my little social life. and my little interests. Now it is big time complex....layers of figuring things out on many levels.
Yeah, like figuring out what outfit your kid is going to wear and if em is going to get invited to the good birthday party or play group in the subdivision/building.

I don't see how having a kid makes someone deep by default. In my experience, when selfish people have children, their selfishness just extends out one more level, i.e. they care about themselves AND their children, but they still don't care about anyone else.

Obviously, SOME people can change as a result of childbirth and become more active in their church/synagogue/mosque with a desire to find some faith in order to pass it along to their children or get involved in politics/charity in an attempt to make the world a better place for their (and others) children. But that seems to be the minority from where I sit.

Interesting I had a dream about a week ago. It was mmmm3587 and me. We were on a running track...it was a 1600 race. I spotted him a 400. Anyhoo, once he went by the first 400 I started, but my legs were leaden and it was almost as I was running in place, and as a result mmmm3587 won. Hands down.

At the awards ceremony, he was given a pie as first prize. The boobie prize, sts, for last place, was a box of reserve California shiraz. As I was stepping off the podium, I tripped and dropped the box. It hit the ground and shattered, as if it were glass, and the boxed wine was lost to me.

Was this a sign?

As the child of a selfish mother, I can tell you that she's selfish in her interactions with her children (and grandchildren) too.

Draw a pig personality test

I didn't find the pig test to be particularly revealing but it's fun to draw the pig.

Ask him, as a condition of your agreeing, that he provide you with a survey establishing the property line "just so there are no misunderstandings"

I nudged my bf and whispered, "straight or gay?" and he said "straight." Finding it hard to believe that two straight men would be so into Project Runway, I nevertheless joined the conversation and from Woodside to Bryant Park on the 7 train we had a pretty animated discussion. We all agreed that Michael is going to win, that Jeffrey is good but his vision is too dark for the show, that the red haired chick is good but too stuck in Audrey Hepburn cocktail dress mode, and that Vincent is a total weirdo. We disagreed about whether Heidi is mean, wooden or adorable. Anyway -- it was a lot of fun! Both of them work in the fashion industry and one's wife is a designer -- that is why I think they are so into the show.

And my main point is that we definitely agreed that Alison got kicked off for being too cute. They made her seem as if she hates women or something.

OK, actually I played a couple rollicking games of scrabble. One board had both "bacon" and "whore" on it.

Her outfit was pretty bad though. And they didn't want to kick of Kayne because of his previous work, even though that thing was awful.

You have to wonder why they didn't take the opportunity to get rid of Vincent though. That thing was crap, and his defense of it was annoying.

They have to keep Laura around for the drama.

Agreed. I think they kept Vincent around because he is such a weirdo and that adds to it. Just being cute and relatively normal doesn't add to it, and that's another reason Alison got the boot.
