Today I am in a fine mood

I really am. I'm feeling fit as a freaking fiddle, cute as hell (although I am wearing some fancy, uber-hip pants I got yesterday which, I shudder to say, may be a bit "young" for me -- low-rise, tight, boot-cut -- I mean, I think they look fine but I keep trying to pull them up and my sweater down so as to better hide both my granny panties and my "nothing-to-be-ashamed-of!" baby-building stretch marks...! Sigh, I don't think old is in the fact that you necessarily stop looking good in things but more in the fact that it starts to bug you when your clothes aren't "comfortable" Anyway...) I've got my tea, I just finished a very yummy bagel. All is good with the Chick-ster's life.

Class yesterday was fun. We got all heated about stuff. I actually may be developing a SLIGHT crush on Coffee-Boy but only because he's so intense about everything. i mean, my God! Can you imagine what it would feel like to have that level of intensity applied to yourself?? O.K. points to those of you who are thinking "stalker!" still though. In addition to pants (I know, I didn't really say anything about class but it's pretty standard stuff still. Clarifying but no real relevations, although my Prof did say she's going to try to steal me away from Mills -- Hee Hee! And leave Professor K.??! Never!!) I also bought some comic book porn which I like for a whole variety of reasons but mostly because i actually like the drawings. I mean, I figure if I'm going to look at airbrushed chicks doing stuff to each other it's only a hop-skip-and-a-jump to drawings of chicks doing stuff. Besides which, the drawn chicks can not only get into some unbelievable positions they can also have sex with Vampires and stuff, so there! Thing is, I'm reading these things on the BART on the way home and I'm struck by how funny the writing is. I mean one of the issues was called "Yuppies, Rednecks and Lesbians from Mars" and yes there were all sorts of women in various states of undress but there was also a commune of yuppie guys who were hiding out in the tunnels underneath the New York City library rotating the "usage" of a single blow-up doll that winds up getting riddled with bullets thereby forcing them out into the redneck run devastation that is post-apocalyptic New York!! I mean C'MON! That's more fun than those stupid "My boyfriend and i have always had an interest in gardening, and since we have a fairly high wall of primeroses surrounding the backyard, I've gotten into the habit of doing it in the nude. So, one day I was back there planting Hydrangeas thinking I was fairly secluded. Little did i know that my neighbor Rebecca and her handyman Floyd....!" O.K. so maybe I'm slightly interested in what gets shorn but still, gimme Biker babes with dragon pets and perky 44 D's anyday over "Beverly, whose interests include investment banking and skiing...!"

Sheesh! How the heck did I even get on this topic?? Sorry, folks, I'm in a rambling mood. OH, it's been brought to my attention that some of you can't see the "comments" area in the timestamp at the bottom of each post. If you are one of those who cannot (and if you have a minute) could you please use the "talk to me" link at the right to send me a note re: which browser you're using -- including the version if poss. If too many people can't comment then I'll look into replacing the system. Tanks!

Confidential to JT: Of course she's playing games, but have you considered that perhaps she feels like she has to to avoid getting invested and subsequently hurt Mr. Talking-about-how-much-you-dig-this-girl-whilst-having-sex-with-someone-else! In my humble opinion it is entirely possible that this girl you like is not as tough as she's acting and that if you were to step the hell up and let her know that you really want to be her main squeeze she might let her guard down a bit long enough to tell you where she's been all week-end. Just a thought. good luck.
