i’ve been remiss
in responding to several people who commented about my short story. thank you to all who read it and appreciated it. it means a lot to me. sincerely.
i am posting some old short stories i’ve written, on separate pages, which you can see in the second column from the left.
comments appreciated.
i dreamed
last night that i was with forrest and he was hugging me and then suddenly he kissed me. i felt so warm and safe with him, but then when he kissed me, it was all weird and sloppy and loose. i was all upset over it, because although i wanted the kiss, it was a bad kiss. and i needed to tell him that he would have to kiss me more passionately next time. but i didn’t want to hurt his feelings or upset him, so the rest of the dream was me trying to figure out how to tell him to kiss me the way i liked.
hmmm. we’ve never kissed. we are simply friends (though there have been occasions that the topic of a man secretly being in love/like with a female friend has come up and he refers to himself. uhm. as far as i know, i’m the only female friend he spends any amount of time with. so those times, i’ve asked him directly what he was talking about–once he just stared at me, the other time, he made up some lame excuse. at least it sounded lame to me.
but then he’ll say things like:
oh, so and so is available. maybe you’ll like him.
or
that guy really seemed to like you. i bet you hear from him. i bet you go on a date with him (said last friday when we were out and i met my friend Ali’s friend–see photo from that night of me with the boys).
well. i have no clue. but i do know that i have told him on a number of occasions that if a man wants to go out with me, he has to make the first move. i won’t do it. i can’t do it. i can’t try anymore.
on those occasions he says things like, well, what if he’s shy? etc.
i say it’s no excuse because that just means he’s JUST NOT THAT INTO ME.
get over your fears. do it. if someone likes me enough, they will do what it takes. period.
and yes, i would go out with that friend of my friend A’s, if he asked. i found him appealing. in more ways than one.
i’m in the mood
to act out. you know what that means if you know me.
and maybe i just might.
the governor
okay. so another man breaks my heart, what else is new? no. really. i loved this man. i cannot believe that he did this. it’s the breaking the law part. i’d be disappointed if he just cheated on his wife, but a high priced prostitute? COME ON ELIOT!
there’s been nothing else to talk about. lots of jokes about it, but it’s a pretty serious issue. he may be resigning. and i’m sorry, what a blow to the democratic party right now.
ugh.
i heard all these people talking on the radio about it this morning, and most of them were saying things like this:
what kind of role model is he for our kids?
uhm. AREN’T YOU the PARENTS supposed to be role models for your kids? if you didn’t already know it, you have the greatest influence on your children, not the governor of NY.
people are just plain stupid. the argument should be that this man, who fought so diligently, campaigned on the line of ethics and accountability, who was our attorney general, who appeared so CLEAN, has crossed a line of not only morality, but ethics and the law.
that’s the issue. it’s not like teenagers have posters of him in their rooms and will now be heartbroken that their idol is sullied.
anyway. i am really, truly, disappointed. isn’t there ANY man in power who’s above reproach?
and the fact that it has to do with fucking is just the icing on the cake. how stupid could you be? all this, for a little fuck. ridiculous.
thanks eliot.
