10:15 on a friday night
so I'd been looking forward to actually having time to write in my brand-new, shatteringly pink blog and now, friday at eleven *drumroll*
I got nothing.
well - except for the lover thing -- maybe I should elaborate on that now, in lieu of a better subject. I want a lover. this sounds like such a simple request, doesn't it? a fairly straightforward transaction, given that I have all my limbs and I still keep all my teeth. well, it isn't -- and though I know every man that ever reads this will be rolling his eyes and going "balls. girls *never* have trouble getting laid, I can't think of a single girl (not lacking limbs that is) who doesn't have a host of blah BLAH". well balls say I. I've found that men from all over lack in so many respects, it's not even funny.
marianne and I have decided we're definetely too old for having casual flings. guys just don't casually get it right on the first go, that's for starters. on the other hand, we're decidedly at the very worst disposition to look for a long-term relationship; she lacks the stamina and I lack the humour. the problem is, it seems we're also at the worst possible age to seek contact of any kind with the opposite sex; guys seem to be totally into girls in their early twenties, or mad about women in their early thirties, but for some reason, us in between 25 and 30, either you're already in a relationship, or you're untouchable goods. it's like being back in fourth grade, and maybe some boys talk to you when there's no one around, but when their mates are there, they'll pretend not to know you.
why, I still can't figure out why. is it maybe that we've generally become too bold, and too aggresive? do they know they're living up to a standard now? or is it simply that we aren't to be taken for fools by them anymore, and that we might not be ready with the chicken soup the moment the claim a little melancholy on thursday morning? or that now we dare to say that that joke was definetely NOT funny instead of giggling nervously and changing the subject.
top 3 I need a lover
1. coin operated boy -- dresden dolls
2. do you want to -- franz ferdinand
