REGRET is a human emotion! it's a reminder of unfinished business. only a Virgo would regard the unaccomplished feats in one's life as a major feat.

maybe, just maybe, regret is a means by which our sub-conscious communicates. it's hidden desires manifested in melancholy and loathing.

where you shun it, i listen to it.

it's not the past wasn't worth while as my past is accomplished. it's about striving for a newer, brighter, more exciting future. boring people can't relate to that.

Q - you got any french contacts? i'm trying to score a job in a french speaking country...guadeloupe/martinique would be ideal.

i have a "date." not looking forward to it. it was one of those, "say yes to break out of your comfort zone" acceptances.

he's taking me to "red lobster" which i HATE! some folks consider that upscale. i never understood why. i hate their food. it's the wackest place ever. the biscuits are good though. it was either there or cheesecake factory and he seemed hell bent on seafood so, i caved.

tauruswmn - uhm...you're right. i'm not sure how we got on the subject of bananas and waffles either but i roll with it.

if you're moving to the city i think you're moving to, i think "new girl" plays well there too.

"new girl" to me isn't helpless or naive. it's not walking around with "i'm new, i need help" plastered on your forehead. it's about being friendly, open and aggressive. walking through open doors and all that jazz...and not being afraid/intimidated when you get a few slammed in your face. you may have to be hardened to survive there...but that's all hogwash when you think about it. if anything, you have to be an eternal optimist...not necessarily an upbeat one but an optimist nonetheless.

for some people, coworkers are great sources of opportunity but for me...no. either i was too high up on the food chain to be "chill after work material" or i was not too keen on playing where i work. since work is out, i have to look for other ways to meet folk. and 9 times out of 10, i met great people when i was consciously aggressive.

hello my name is...
i noticed you were...
i am...
would you like to...

it's not rocket science but the only thing i can liken it to is asking a guy that's caught your eye if he'd like to go out. it's uncomfortable. it can be embarrassing. it's a hit or miss. so just do it! if he says no, shrug and go about your merry way. if he says yes, cool...one down, more to go 🙂

also take all comers. one city, i met a girl who was somewhat younger than me. she wanted to go to the club on thu, fri, sat and occasionally sun. i HATED it. but i was always there with bells on. why, she was nice and respectable. sure, clubbing was the extent of her vocab but beggars can't be choosers and by hanging out with her, i met people who were more my speed.

point is, throw your comfort zone out the window and you'll be fine.

That I cared too much about being in a relationship from a very early age. I've been with my husband for almost 11 years now since I was 18. I was so preoccupied with being with him that I put all my dreams to the side. I've known several women who've done the same thing. Now, in my late twenties, I unfortunately am having regrets about this. He's not exactly the most outgoing bull, so he's not really up for moving which has always been a dream of mine. "Breakin' out of this two star town"
That's what I'd do right now...I'd move closer to the coast, which mind you is a long way from where I live, and start over. I'd buy an acreage and take care of all the animals I could handle, buy a porch swing, tend to my garden, and live it up! In the next 5 years, I hope to accomplish this even if I stay in my current state.
The other thing I regret is not going away to college and having that experience...once again, was with a man at the time. I go to school now, but it of course is nothing like it would have been when I was young and dumb.



why dont you quit the bitchin and cut that fucker loose already....

You think it's that easy, huh? I love my husband. If I didn't, it would be an easy decision. I just have to learn how to best grow with him and not against him.
