Speechless
~E~
I'm feeling rather quiet lately, so I'll just post some random thoughts.
I'm pissed that it looks like the democrats are going to go ahead with bush's choice for attorney general, Mr. "the president can break the law and it's not really breaking the law/torture is not torture" Mukasey.
I visited the acquaintance I mentioned before who is in an abusive situation. She's hanging in there but not really making any progress.
My friend Anthony just had a birthday and I hope he had a most enjoyable celebration.
Dating advice: if you finally get a date with a woman you've had a crush on for years, and you're watching a movie together, and she says "I think that actress is cute", don't turn on her with "GOD, what are you, gay or something?" True story. Really happened, pre-Al.
Also don't go on and on about how, as you've gotten older, your feet sweat and stink more, and your breath gets nasty faster.
Oh, and from another prizewinner - when your date says (on your first date) that she works in the legal field, don't start ranting on about how lawyers suck and are assholes and you hate them. Your date that time wasn't a lawyer but she could have been.
I really like Irish Breakfast tea. I never drank tea until I traveled to Ireland and now I am addicted
I really need to invite people over more often. It's always fun.
Why can't men wear skirts? Men can look really hot in skirts. I have a post sort of written in my head about this but it hasn't worked it's way out yet.
However, if men do start wearing skirts they must learn to sit with their legs a bit closer together. Why is it that men feel the need to take up so much space? When i used to ride the bus, it sucked sitting next to a guy because they always sat with their legs all spread apart and took up all the space. I was recently at a big meeting where we were all sitting close together in chairs, and the guy next to me was doing this. I refused to change my position, and actually started taking up more of my own space and he was all scrunched up in his chair by the end because he didn't want his leg to touch mine. It was rather amusing. I *AM* the gender warrior, haha.
Men who claim that they don't understand why women hate sexual harassment, and that they think it should be seen as a compliment, often say they would LOVE to be sexually harassed. They think it would be hot. Thing is, they are always assuming it would be a Paris Hilton or Scarlet Johanssen look-alike. Chances are 1) it wouldn't be, and 2) they would realize it is most definitely not a compliment to be sexually harassed.
My friend N lives in California, where recently an earthquake shook the place up a bit. I have been meaning to email or post on her blog to ask if she felt it, but I haven't yet.
So concludeth my random thought session of the day.

Come to Humboldt County. Hippie men wear skirts all the time. I kid you not. And yes, you are right, it can be super hot.

Haha, gender warrior, you are amazing and I love this paragraph. My immediate reaction/theory is that men think they have to "prove" their manhood, i.e. penis size, by not having their legs too close together. It's weirdly insecure and I do believe society did that to them. Good on you for doing your part to push back.

You hit the nail on the head right there, Woman.

Awww, I get honorable mention in your blog! No, I did not feel the quake and I will tell you my BF, silly man that he is, was a bit disappointed about that. I was most relieved.
