edna Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 I want to be single, to live alone, no cats, no kids, no men, to be 32, for instance, or maybe 39 and have an amazing job like the ones I had for 25 years. I want to go to Paris to attend a party my schoolmates will throw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ombre Vivante Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 It would be nice to have someone else to go to museums and concerts and have long conversations well into the wee morning. Sometimes, I get tired of being single Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ombre Vivante Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Freund...? Wassat? Everyone's too busy working for money to make time nowadays, and all I wanna do is go to the LACMA or MOCA... or the ballet... or to see a play... or watch a movie... or do anything other than just stand there in ceremony by myself among crowds of people. I'm sure I will be oblivious to this in the hustle and bustle that will be tomorrow. A girlfriend is a good friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I guess you´re right... going to museums, shows, concerts, plays, ballets or movies was more trendy some 25 years ago. My single friends still call me to take me to those events... and I love to go but sometimes it´s true that living with someone makes you stay more at home. A girl/boyfriend is a good friend but they don´t always share your interests. That´s why I said that I missed being free... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ombre Vivante Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 That's the thing. I've been frozen in time for the past 25 years and I can't adapt to a world where conversations are oft interrupted by cellular telephones and txtmsgs. The more the world is tailored for each person, the more isolated each person seems to become. It's true that girlfriends and boyfriends don't always share interests, but there has to be something to do... anything(!) to stave off what Sartre aptly referred to as "la nausee." "Being free" is a state of mind. I feel trapped in my situation and it's hard to overcome the obstacle of my (and everyone else's) apathy. Someone said maybe I should volunteer for this or that project. I don't wanna volunteer. I don't want to WORK with people. I want to have FUN... with people. I can bet you a week's wages that I call a friend right now to go to the musee next Saturday afternoon... and they'll be too busy with work and playing golf with their associates. It's gear-grinding.

The Seeker Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Can't... that's when I've got to hand it in... though handing it in late might illustrate the point even more. Hmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuzikTyme Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Well then, ponder away, Seeker! But most of all, get that essay in on time, without labored writing. Make whomever reads it go: WTF? Always keep 'em guessing. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible_r Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 I agree with edna, I never go to the theatre because my boyfriend doesn't really like it and I normally have to go out on my own because he doesn't like clubs or loud places.... So basically, your significant other will be like one of your friends, you will share some interests and do some things together but you still need other friends to do the other stuff with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ombre Vivante Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 I'd be perfectly content to do one or two social things with one person per month. I don't demand a lot from others, but, while I'm at it, I'm seeking for those "other friends" as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Joe Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 What grinds my gears today is the incredibly stupid, hateful, racial rhetoric being e-mailed to me almost daily by complete idiots (some of whom I've called friends) who are afraid of a black man being elected President of the US. They send such pathetic crap that they never even take the time to check for accuracy. I'm getting sick of it. I used to answer them with my opinion but now I just delete anything they send, whether it's political or not. Jesus, save us from these freakin' imbeciles.

Kevin Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 That Italy is STILL the retarded or 'special' little brother of the modern democracies -even Russia beats them on this : the idiots just put Berlusconni back into power for the third time in 14 years - despite proven corruption charges and other nasty points ... mamma mia !?!?!
