Welcome to my new tenant.
I would like to send a heart felt welcome to my new BlogExplosion tenant, Scooter McGavin's 9th Green. It is a very funny blog that you can pretty much count on to always have something you're looking for. Trying to be as fair as possible I chose the blog that bids first, and I'm glad that Scooter bid again!
Please also check out my other BlogExplosion bidders. They are all so original, and all so well put together, these are the reason I chose the first on the list!

You don't have to say that. No, I mean you don't have to say nice things to me. It's old-fashioned, considering what we're about to do. You're walking me home. I think you're a little attracted to me. And you'll probably want to come upstairs for some coffee. Then we'll probably have a drink. And talk and get to know each other...a little better, get comfortable. And then you'll...you'll sleep over. And in the morning, you'll awake...and you'll be distant. And you won't be able to stay for breakfast. Maybe just a cup of coffee. And then...we'll exchange phone numbers. And you'll leave...and never call. And I'll go to work and I'll feel so good...for the first hour, and then...ever so slowly, I'll turn into a piece of dirt. I don't know why I'm putting myself through this.
- The Fisher King
When I was watching The Fisher King (starring Robin Williams, Jeff Bridges, Mercedes Ruehl and Amanda Plumme) I was struck by these lines. Richard LaGravenese has hit the nail on the head. For those enough that are sentimental enough to wait for some kind of emotional attachment before sleeping with someone this is why - because this is how we feel when things are different after sharing something like sex.
I don't mean a one night stand you picked up in a bar - I mean after a few dates, or maybe even just one, given the time to get to know someone we lend ourselves to our hearts, and if we feel an emotional connection, we go with it - falling in love doesn't "just happen" we let it happen when we feel safe.
Recently I went through something like this - not exactly like this, there was no sleeping over, but there were some very intense conversations, and I'm not saying I fell inlove, I am saying I was starting to feel safe enough to let myself be open to the idea - and alas, I never heard from him again. I didn't say anything that would scare anyone off, I just talked - about his life, about my life, about my experiences, about his. And I was starting to let down the wall...and now the wall will stay up, and I don't know if it will ever come down again.
Here's the thing you see - if he didn't want to ever speak to me again then he should have told me. Be honest and up front with me, and I can take that - be mysterious and fade out without so much as a word and then I will have trouble.

Well, I have horrbile manners. I am now saying goodbye (when I really should have said hello) to Bloggin' Bizatch.
She is a voice that can not be silenced, and is not afraid to speak her mind, something that I have got to admire.
Since I am too late to urge all three of my readers to go over and check out her website via the Blog Explosion link, since by the time my "readers" check out any updates, the link will probably be gone - please read this post and check her out.

Waiting and waiting and waiting...
I'm still waiting for my twizzlers to drop in the vending machine. It is stuck. This is why I hate vending machines!

Well, I wanted to keep my memorial to Sir Percival up a little higher for a little while longer (my blog has paid top respects to my dearly departed betta for a little under two hours) but alas that was not to be the case. Instead, I move to happier subjects. I will be putting his memorial in the right hand navigation bar. I'm sorry, I have no pictures of my favorite fella.
I would like to welcome my very first billboard tennant to my little corner of cyberspace. The blog, "
Through a dark glass - musings on the Catholic Church from an outsider on the inside" (said in one breath for effect) are the ponderings and musings of
P. Del Ricci, a non-catholic employee of Liguori Publications, an online Catholic superstore (so so speak).
Being a seriously non-traditional Catholic <wink, wink - licky licky Tini...and Rachel...and HATE> I found the subject matter and the observances very interesting, and I can't think of a better way to start off my
BlogExplosion experience - with a very interesting bang.
I hope all three of "my readers" (as it was at one time put) will show the man a little love and tenderness by visiting his site (the link to which is located in the left-hand navigation bar or throughout this entry).
