Just one more before I'm out for the weekend. Thanks to all the BROWNCOATS for the much needed support, amuzement, and thoughts. If I was able to help anyone this week, push it forward. All BROWNCOATS may need to be carried once in a while. Looking forward to the 23rd, (can't do much but buy stuff and post like mad). Love you all. Remember: When in doubt, pull it out.

*ahem* Sorry. Never stop to question these things...go with your impulses...may turn out to be the best thing you ever did. Even if it turns out badly, you will never have to say "what if". Just my humble opinion.

While this is VERY good adivce, and despite all my talk before about being strong and independent, I am still pretty traditional when it comes to who asks who out.

Additionally, I am HORRIBLE at letting a guy know I am interested (very shy) so let's just say it's not too surprising that I am single.

And, he's a very by-the-book type of guy, so I get the feeling he would turn me down and then there would be months of remaining therapy (physical therapy that is...see info below for explanation) and awkwardness. Blech!

NVGhostRider: I like hearing you talk about Ms. Incredible. I know I hope there will one day be someone who refers to me as that.

Here's to a good date this weekend.

As for men and colds: Good god, you would think some of them were dying. Broken bones and such, and it's 'just patch me up and get me back out there.'

But, as referenced above, I can be the same way. I am 9 months into rehabbing a broken arm (thus the need for physical therapy and meeting aforementioned cutie) and I am lying in the arena (horse dumped me after hitting a jump with his back feet) cracking jokes, trying to hit on the cute paramedics. I tried to sit up immediately after it happened to go get my horse. Trainer was like, "Um, yeah. I'm gonna go call 911." I was like, "is my HORSE okay?"

Pain, schmain.

Any opinions on the matter?

Well, my first two girlfriends were independant. I think I'm attracted more to the strong woman...but I've come to distrust them. I think it has something to do with the fact that in my mind a strong woman is more likely to cheat (i have a lot of hang ups, haha).

I'm overly analytical to a gross degree...I just don't vocalize it.

WHY? why oh why oh why?

A lot of men are like that (my dad for example), but I'm not. I think it's because I was sick more often than the other kids and school and hence just got used to it.

RugBug, ah, I understand. Maybe try the "want to join me for (insert beverage here) afterwards?". That might do it. If not, let your inner cavewoman out; get a club, bonk him on the head, and drag him back to your cave. Guaranteed to work every time!

Ouch! So, was the horse ok?

I'm completely the opposite - I get a hundred colds every winter. All ido is get very very annoyed. Absolutely disgusted with the cold for daring to be caught! If its bad enough i'll stay off work and sit in a blanket on the sofa, but the most you'll get are complaints about how dare this cold be so bad and the occaisional 'sorry for sniffing' *wan look*, I still do most stuff for my self, and if i'm not in bed, then its just a case of get on with it.

Injuries! Oh my god. anything above a paper cut a cat scratch or a blister and i whine like nobodies business (Mal with the stab wound? thats me.) Everybody gets told about it (like when fell over St.Georges hall (a big public building in liverpool) or got happy slapped by a pidgeon. In a jokey way, but still, every one has to know. And I get annoyed by my inability to bruise well - dammit I want sympathy! God knows what I would be like if i was ever seriously hurt.

Actually, the last time I was seriously hurt was when idrove a sewing needle eye first through the palm of my hand. I went into shock. And when idamaged my thumb. Both times I damaged my thumb - shock.

Thats what i do, I go into shock. How useless am I?

Maybe i do need a big hulking man-beast protector. If for nothing else than to drive me to the gp's.

(though what a waste of a big hulking man-beast )

Seryn,
Oooh, oooh, sewing injuries! This one time, at summer theatre (hehehe) I managed to break one of those leather hand sewing needles and ram the broken end completely through my thumb, nail and all. After the initial impact, and the "...huh, that's gonna hurt in a minute", all I was worried about was not bleeding on the leather. Just to end the story on an "EWWW!!" note, I ended up having to pull the needle out of my own thumb with a pair of pliers, because the nurse wasn't able to.
Oh, the joys of sewing!

Oh, no, no. I would never cheat. If it gets to that point, I will break up with someone before cheating happens. And I would much rather a guy breaks up with me if he knows he's getting close to cheatin'.

Tristan: Horse was perfectly fine. I was just worried about him as he ran off down the barn road headed to a busy street. As it turns out, I didn't see him race around the corner to his stall and stand there like a whimpering idiot. He didn't need to dump me, he's just a drama queen in horse's clothing.

Seryn: First off, no editing unless it's for spelling.

I liked your flowery post.

Too bad about the bruising. They are good for some sympathy, or what I like, grossing people out. During the arm breaking fall, I ended up with an oddly (nothing broken, sprained or outwardly injured) swollen right ankle that was PURPLE almost to mid-calf. That thing sure got me some sympathy and grossed out its fair share of people.

I didn't really want the sympathy, but it comes part and parcel with the showing off the grossness. Lately I've been grossing people out with my dropped humerus. It sits about an inch and a half below my shoulder socket. I can do some cool stuff with it.

And I rarely get sick. Haven't been in about a year and a half. But that doesn't mean I don't "play" sick from time to time.

Sewing injuries? Ouch...and gross.

I appreciate that you would...it's just that in my (limited) experience, that's not how it goes :o

I agree with rugbug, here. Better to end it cleanly rather than lie. Not enough people feel that way, though. I feel your pain, LightMeDark.

Hey, I'm thinking of writing a "User's Manual" for myself, just for fun. Anyone ever done something like that? Do you think it's a good idea? Would you actually ever want to read one?

Rugbug- I am right with you!! doormats are pointless. I want an equal not a guy who's too scred to say boo and I love protective(not possessive) guys

and eek on all the scary sewing stories..Now I have another reason never to learn to sew. NV- Good luck on the date darlin I can't think of anyone else who deserves it more.

OK and can someone expain happy slapped by a pidgeon??? I am generally familiar with british slang and I've got nothing. Or were you actually slapped by a pidgeon ( which by the way the mental image is making me crumple with laughter)
You're only young once, but you can be immature any time!
