They definitely look better in Jayne hats. I love how it's packaged as a DIY juggling kit.
I know what I'm asking for for Christmas...

Oh ya, I had stuff to say (deadlines be damned):
Scorpion - I'm not so into D&D, but I did have LOTR pretty much memorized by sometime in junior high. I'm more drawn to the pretty dress/drink too much/dance around a bonfire aspect of SCA. Kinda reminds me of a hippy gathering I went to once. All except the pretty dress part.
I live in rural New England, I'm sure there will be SCA events aplenty to scope out when the warm weather returns (it'll be oh so long...)
BEG - I really feel for you! I grew up in the Midwest, so officially my life didn't start until I moved to Boston when I was 23. My only advice: RESIST THE NORMALCY!! Freaks are more fun!!**offers you gingerbread cookie with facial piercings and green hair**
So, if I may revisit first floor conversation, I just read someone's blog about how he falls for girls with boyfriends. Oddly, I have found that I never get asked out so much as when I'm already dating. Is there an irresistable I'm-attached-and-unavailable pheromone? When I'm single all these interested guys disappear!!

At the moment, I'm attracted to one who happens to be very single. I will, however, keep an eye on this phenomenon if this one doesn't pan out (and it likely won't).

CallMeSerenity: Crunchies sound awfully tasty. Also don't worry, I think we hit a temporary freak zone. I doubt we will stay here too long. Estimated waiting tiem to floor 4 is Friday. Since the king of all asshole boyfriends (BTW: he is in prison on unreltaed charges now) I don't put up with any shit. Then again since him, I've only dated 1 guy for like 3 months and saw 2 others. Lets just say he threw me for a loop, cos he was really nice and wonderful at the beginning. But jealousy and his lies caught up to him and he turned into a grade-A asshole. Before I knew it I was trapped. (LMD: this is why I think jealousy is so dangerous. he once hit me cos a guy at the mall looked at me, a lot of his abuse was stemmed from jealousy and fear of losing me which is very dangerous). I woke up and smelled the coffee and broke it off with him, thanks to an awesome support structure by my friends (who he tried to cut me off from) and thanks to having college to go to (he wanted me to drop out for him). Just goes to show: someone can seem really nice, but sometimes it's just window dressing for the monster inside. Funny thing is, anytime a guy tried to hit me before this relationship I would hit him, or kick him in the balls and leave him. I don't know what was different that time around. Also I love my kitties, they are terrific, but sometimes I want to strangle them (i think this is a sentiment felt by most pet owners and lots of parents, sometimes you just want 5 minutes peace and you just can't get it!). I would never ever hurt them. The jihads: just me bein' silly. Although I doubt 'holy war' is an idea many find to be silly.
Strange men who stared at my mouth in Target would be a welcome relief. On Monday I took the day off of work cos I have boat loads of leave time to use. I went to the grocery store where there was the totally adorable, maybe 19 year old cashier boy and I felt like a dirty old woman for thinking he was cute. He was tall with curly black hair and a swimmers body. I just wanted to tweak his hair. I then quietly backed away and left the grovery store. Wonderfalls rules! Why can't we find heartbroken bartenders like Eric??? WHY???
Also CMS: thanks for the showers on Serenity clarification. I was getting worried.
Mal4Prez: OMG I hear you on that! Whenever I am with someone either officially dating or just seeing, all of a sudden the guys come out of the woodwork! Is it because it's safer to flirt with a girl you already know is taken? I mean if she's already taken you are already expecting rejection so it's not such a big deal right? When I was with my last beau it seemed like every weekend there were guys talking to me and asking me out and stuff, now that I'm completely single again, nada. I don't get it!!
Also the midwest itself isn't a bad place. Milwaukee, Madison, Chicago, Indianapolis, Minneapolis: all are great very hip very urban places, where I would have more inspiration and reason to get out of my apartment. I just happen to live in bumblefuck. I'm letting my freak flag fly as much as I can up here (when I first moved up here I wanted to get all sorts of piercings and tattoos and just be queen deviant cos this area breeds this sort of hostility), but I work a gov't job that involves me going to court so I can't be too wierd (I envy that girl on NCIS)
Goslings for all!!! They are just too damn cute in their little jayne hats, I so want them. Too bad I already handed out my Christmas list!

Those places good - but I lived in Omaha!
Sure, there were pockets of (what I call) sanity, but they were wicked hard to find!I left Boston for the boonies last year, and I was feeling a lot like you are. It's taken a year and a half to hunt out some folk like me to hang out with, but I'm finding them. It's all about the activities.

Blackeyedgirl, I think your logic is fatally flawed. Just be cause nice people are most likely looking for other nice people doesn't mean anything about what abusive people are looking for. Abusive people could be looking for nice people to take advantage of. They could have a totally different reasoning in who they look for. I think you jumped a little far in your reasoning on that one.

CMS: Omaha! OMG I am so sorry! I can see where Boston would be like heaven!! Yeah that's the scary part of the midwest. Sort of like South Dakota.
Zeek: Okay, whatever you say.

I would just like to add that in addition to physical abuse like hitting etc., emotional abuse can be just as damaging. I actually had an exboyfriend who cheated on me and somehow made me feel like it was my fault that he wasn't faithful--that there was something inherently wrong with me and that I deserved to be cheated on. It took me a long time to get out of the depression from that relationship, but thankfully I've been free of him for almost 4 years now.
My sister currently is in a situation where she and her boyfriend were going to have a baby and it was born prematurely and died. After the baby's death, her boyfriend lost it and now calls my sister telling her she's a whore because she slept with other guys before him. Then he'll turn around, apologize and take her out to dinner. It's a horrible situation and my whole family wants her to be rid of him, but only she can do that for herself.
Anyway, my point is that emotional abuse can be a horrible situation to deal with, and it is not as commonly prosecuted as physical abuse, at least within the United States. I urge anyone whose significant other is demeaning them or making them feel worthless to free themselves--you don't deserve to be talked to that way.
Wow, sorry--got a bit serious there. So, juggling geese, eh?

Omaha!!! Nooooooooo (deep breath) oooooooo (checks watch) ooooooo!!!
The first four years I was in the Air Force, they stuck me at Offutt AFB, NE. They were trying to stick me there for another three, so I opted out, since I was going through a divorce at the same time. So, Omaha directly led to much bitterness and distrust of the opposite sex for quite some time. Okay, it was the psycho hose beast I was married to that was sleeping around, and not the city, but, you know...I just can't stay mad at one of them...(Omaha, I'm looking in your direction. May I skydive into your cornfields again?((Like there was anywhere else to land))).
So after Omaha, Kentucky looked like heaven. It wasn't. And after a bad marriage, the next girl looked like heaven. She wasn't. There's something to be learned here.
Its that Nebraska is covered in corn. And embittered men. Okay, okay...it was just me.
And, since I don't like leaving people in suspense...
