Life: Looking Back, Looking Forward

Ya'll --I can't wait. I've never done anything like this before.. My daughter still has a pretty demonstrably gothic wardrobe--and I think I may be able to wiggle my ass into some of it. (Going to gym now... )

I'm going to be really polite, but I'm sort of tittering about his reaction to an earnest gothic, agnostic tree-lover....

He looks sort of interesting.... He reminds me of that angry ghost that throws Patrick Swayze off of the subway in Ghost...Vincent Somebody...? He's also a really fascinating brainiac who lectures in ATL and is a guy in the public eye. (I googled him) (I sort of hope he can take me on--I'd love to Goth-up the tea and croissant circuit...LOL!!!)

Joeblow--
I appreciate where you're coming from. I'm still not quite up to snuff emotionally--still protecting myself a bit... I miss Steve. (And, I expect to hear from him) but I'm not going to re-engage with him until I'm emotionally stronger... I'm getting there.

Always tell me what you think. Your opinions are vastly important to me.

...um, and Aging and Elder Care, my hot ass...

Given my, errrrrrr, experience with academicians in the area of theology, mmmm, you may be hard-pressed to out-goth him.

May be different in the U.S., but up here theologians are often, mmmm, on the radical side of things politically/academically/personally/stylistically.




<think blatham. he's not a theologian, but he's a classic of what I've run across>

yeah, I'm curious what you mean by 'non-flagship', Lash. I've known some doctors of theology from mail order or online places who are Thumpers (with a capital T) but other theologians who are professors of religion at respected schools.

I'm guessing you mean Thumper, no?

ehBeth-- That would be neat! (He was dressing for church, though, the last time we emailed...on a Sat night....)

JPB-- By flagship--I mean the university of note in a state--sometimes there are two, and I guess it is based on opinion. In GA, UGA is the flagship--some may add Georgia Tech-- He is in a reputable school, but not one of those... I don't want to id him any further--in deference to his (and my) privacy... He is google-able. Re Thumper status--see above comment about Saturday night church going... Of course, I'm only assuming...

Can't WAIT to see how this goes...

Yes, you might be in for a surprise. I have a German friend who is a theologian/psychologist and he definitely took a walk on the wild side.

Ditto. I know some wild ones, too.

Of course, we'll be needing a detailed description of your gothic paraphernalia.

Yeah... I'm not going to go too far out of my age class--just all black with some ...sharp jewelry...LOL

Dark eyes...black hair (was getting ready to dye anyway...)

sultry attitude--

Just a hint of gothic in the air... (But if I could smash my boobs into Caitlin's bustier...I'd wear it under a light blazer...)

I may wear her platform lace up boots...

My (Austrian) cousin is a (double MA plus doctor) theologian/psychologist.
He's a bit calmer since his actual partner gave birth to a child (but had to give his job as Catholic priest then).

Yeah. Bill is theology/econ.

Wow-- That seemed like ages ago.

We talked and it was sort of blah...we called it off.

Went to a midnight screening with a guy--the Quay Brothers' Piano Tuner of Earthquakes. Interesting movie--fascinating guy. But a little odd.

I have had such a great time!!!

This is funny!!!

I was walking through campus at about 2AM--and I walked up on a trio of Thurston Howell IIIs, playing Night Frisbee. The conversation was hilarious--we were sort of walking at the same pace with me a little behind them--just trying to pass, but between them thrwoing frisbees and me trying to stay out of their way-we kept walking together...

So

Biff: (drags on cigar) I say, I've been having a serious problem with my Captain Crunch. It's affecting my quality of life.

Thurston: What's with the crunch?

Biff: Not crunchy. I've got this abdominal thing--and I had to switch to Lactaid. It doesn't stay crunchy nearly as long. This is completely disrupting a life long relationship I've had with those scratches on the roof of my mouth...

Trey: (looks at me, grins) Well, dude, I think you should apply some MILF to that situation, pronto.

Biff: (grins, looks at me) I concur with that assessment!!

Thurston: I concur.

Me: (desperately keeps level countenance, picks up pace, smiles like mule eating briars when they can't see my face.) I know they didn't think I heard the f instead of the k-- I grinned all night.

A good night.

That's what I thought. Prancing around saying how in love she is but details? Nada.

Spill!

It's too silly.

It's...online. But, I've seen him on cam... (turns crimson)

(runs away like stupid girl) (walks back long enough to say)

I'm flying to Nevada this summer to meet him.

I asked him not to put me in his refrigerator.

He all .....ITALIAN.

(giggles hopelessly)

We likes each other....and I seem finally destined for hot sex.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

(waits for warnings...I'll take the first four...then, I'm cutting you off.)

((giggles))

I have dates out of the yazoo here--and they just don't do it for me. I want someone who turns me on--ya know?

Discuss! (I'd like to hear what people are saying about this long distance internet dating stuff.)

(I have almost reclaimed date-able body!!!!)

She's giddy!

(Remembers)

Giggles.

Dances.

Thanks, Joe!!!!

Love ya!!!!

(giggles)

We're all silly-like.

Internet dating -- coolness. No comment.

Long distance -- can definitely be ouchie. Might be good for where you are right now, though. (Emotionally rather than geographically...)

Warnings -- since Joeblow blew off her quota, I'll say, when you meet him for the very first time do it in a public place, OK? Please?

Oh but the giddiness is very fun to see! :-D
