Dragonfly. "A poet can survive everything but a misprint"-- Oscar Wilde Started conversation Mar 31, 2005
"Everyone will love you, given the chance. But you
slam so many doors when you jump from one exclusive
immature relationship to the next and block out
everyone in your life because of it. You wouldn't
bank the way you date. If you want a successful
relationship, look at it as a business deal. That is
really what they are."
Hopefully that helps out other people, in addition to helping out me.
Does it suck, or what, when you KNOW you've learned and learned and learned and still you want to give (even though you do get petrified about it!!!) and share and learn more... and then... oh I dunno.
I really did have a point.
It'd been argued that your little Dragonfly is boy crazy, and/or lonely.... OOOOOoooo.... well, there are worse things. It's funny, because it's true to an extent.
I'll flirt. I'll fantasize.
But holy 
am I, for the most part, a little goody-goody.
(Until it's determined you are my boyfriend 
)
So I guess I am boy crazy... I WANT love... There is a bit of that.
In EVERYONE.
I'm a little hung up on something. I don't know what.
I have a WONDERFUL WONDERFUL life, rife with potential. And it's exciting. I have said dozens of times, without regret or a tinge of sadness that my life's just, well, just enough for me to handle solo right now. It'd be stupid to pull a significant other into it until I'm in grad school...
Anyway. The wonderful life. I've been grateful for what I have. After my bestest friend's email (a response to my request for advice), though, I'm a little down.
It's like "Ah... crap... you're right... I do have that problem, and I'm not going to have what I subconsciously keep breaking my emotional back for until I get over--"
Well, it's guilt that I have to move past... Tremendous guilt that if I don't do right by the guy I'm with, that if I'm not 100% dedicated, then I'm rotten and I've no right to any of his time.
The bestest friend argues I have to allow myself to look at the dating thing like it's a buffet table-- I don't have to just order one dish and feel obligated to enjoy it and only it and do my best to swallow as much as I can manage.
It's hard to get over that. I've all ready tried those goggles on and then after "tasting" something I like, I still have the "get stuck" tendancy.
::sigh::
And there's still a bit of me that flinches at all the work and exposure of any experience that could be romantic.
Ha. What would be nice would be to just go to sleep and wake up and "Ah. There you are. Hi."
But that's just the fairy tale, wot!??
I'll be fine.
I don't know what this journal really is. A rant!?? A lesson!?? Both!??
Maybe I'm down on MYSELF... I feel I should be ready for love. The bestest prescribed experience and maturity for me, not love. She could be right with the former. I don't know about the latter; I do believe my maturity just hasn't been tested properly.
Well... now that I type that... 
It's not maturity that I have. It's the impulse and intention to please him as much as I can. That's a far, hair-raising cry from maturity. ...

pheloxi, dear, I have snatched a few cradles...
Hi, 2legs!!!
Yes... it is all very logical. She andI had a better talk last night. I need to be able to bring stability and independence to the table.
Now I'm in some ways more bloody scared than ever.

I thought I was your bestest friend!

.... have fun and no harm... great concept... RELAX is what I need to do. I keep expecting one person to provide everything I need, and when I'm not yet everything I need to be, well, how exactly can that happen!!??
Have I confused everyone!??
It made sense to me!!!
And Michele!!! You ARE my bestest friend!!! Don't you REMEMBER writing that!??/ 
Sheeeshhh.... lay off the virgins... I think they're messing with your head, m'love!!!
Hee hee.
::ahem::
Yes.
And of course I over-analyse at times. I think everyone does, and I get to do it a leetle more frequently because I am Gemini Rising. 
WHHEEEE!!!!
Life is good today.

pheloxi!!! 
I had to read that three times to get that the word was HAM, not harm... so used to seeing "harm none"....
In fact, there's a groovy silver ring here: http://www.pyramidcollection.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=P11530+11 that I quite like. But I'm not really a ring person... and I don't want to spend that money, either...
YEEEHAH!!!

I.... never got into that show...
My grandfather loved it!!!
... but my shows have to have 1) creative people 2) very funny situations and people or 3) sex and kisses and passion
or I really lose interest.
Favorite shows of mine:
M*A*S*H, Rhoda, Coupling, Monty Python, Friends, The Mary Tyler More Show...
Wow... Almost NOTHING modern!!! Ha!!!!

Ah yes, the "virgins". I personally prefer my devotees to be experienced however, It's Thog's thread and since he is the ~god~ of the thread then Mr. Droopy Drawers gets what he wants! 
Do you know how hard it is to find male virgins over the age of 18 that can pass as a decent looking female when you have to slap a wig, padded bra & skirt on them quickly so as not to tip off the resident god? 
Keeps a priestess hopping - that's for sure!

I don't know very much, but something tells me you might not have to face his wrath for a while...
