Suzie, try this next time a telemarketer calls: Say "I'm sorry but I am really busy right now. Give me your home phone number and I'll call you back." It freaks them right out!!! They get a big case of the "errrr....ummmms" right fast!! Try it sometimes. And if they want to know why you want their home phone number, tell them it is so you can call in the middle of their dinner and disturb them in their home for a change!!!
Also when those annoying calls come in that are recorded messages selling something, just press the # and * keys rapidly. It confuses the computer and may cause you to be removed from their list.
When I was unemployed and would get a call trying to sell me something, I would go into a big sob story about how I was starving because I could not afford to buy food and could they please stop bothering me. It shut them up pretty good.
I cannot stand tele-marketing. I feel sorry for anyone who is not any more competent than to have to take a job like that. I was pretty hard up to find a job a few times in my life, but I never stooped to the level of tele-marketer! ----------------------------------- Lovernios, thanks for your take on things. Very enlightening. So do you not think marriage is a man made institution? Made up by MEN to control WOMEN? Do you think dogs and cats live on as re-incarnated dogs and cats? Or only humans are re-incarnated?

If marriage is an institution for enslaving WOMEN, then why are all the men out there so damn pussy-whipped? ... just an observation lol
Of course marriage is man-made. In my final analysis, it is one of the few sanctified rituals man has made that is actually worth something. There is something about this tradition that makes sense to me, especially non-secular marriage. Some 'churches' stick their noses in too far, though I would agree it's important to have similar spiritual makeups with a spouse. I find it a feeble excuse to make marriage a feminist issue, to me it's merely a single and relatively public act of love and commitment between a man and a woman.
The 'control' of a woman is taken to extremes in the context of religion mostly, though it also reflects man's general insecurity about himself and sex in general.
Re-incarnation... I really like the premise, and have done alot of study on it over time. In my view, human beings are the only things being re-incarnated, and even then, it's only their soul/essense.
There is a mountain of stuff I could get into with re-incarnation. In my 20's I had a spiritual guru (his name was Sri Vega One, he passed from this life about 3 yrs ago) I used to engage in conversation from time to time, he had been schooled by masters in Llasa Tibet, and he also gave me numerous writings that I studied. All of that was lost in my apartment fire a couple yrs ago, but much of it remains in my head. He engaged in astral travel and had many awarenesses most people would never comprehend. He is sorely missed, but I know what he said and taught were valued and has not been lost in the mists of time...
Well if that's the case, I had a dang cat that lived to be 18 years old. She was with me through the college years, two marraiges, etc. She could tell some tales!!!

Ya know Forgotten, I get the feeling you are looking for an excuse to play victim here. You should listen to Lusive and Suze Manhood means drawing a line in the sand at some point, yes, but this is not important. Unused. It's a good thing man, on the body AND on the spirit.
Take more chances with yourself, you are young and no one cares but you. All you have to do is not care all that much yourself, and life will follow suit.
Write a poem, take a walk, smell a rose... Interact with people, they have something to offer, believe it or not. Start a convo with a random person. Try to operate without pretentions, don't think, just do And stop jacking off, it lowers libido and the urge to mingle

Ya know people... If we all acted like we do online IRL We'd be much better off Forgotten has this huge personality online, as do alot of us The funny thing is, most of it is core personality stuff, the real thoughts etc
Let it translate, be yourself, act on instinct, act like SHE is thinking like YOU It works. Just be confident, or ... forget you're insecure and step outside of yourself.
DAMN IT!! I hate it when my friend Suze is feelin blue!! Sorry Suze. Wanna come to Texas and stay with us a while?
It seems like when I have those days lately, they come in sets. It's like a whole bunch of bad days group together and hit all at once. It sucks!! I have had several bad days in a row now and I think it is finally letting up. This too shall pass my friend!! I hope you feel better real quick! I am sending out positive vibes towards Florida. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don't like to focus on looks, my own or others...but I find that I'm always trying to find something pretty in people.
I have a great personality, but I hated on myself for a long time, shit I still do sometimes.
I don't think I'm that great, so I always strive to be better.
I give up easily
I get hurt easily but I won't show you.
When I'm hurt, I lash out
I have an evil tongue when I'm upset
I get migraines after I get pissed.
I'll also puke hardcore when I'm that pissed.
I have literally been diagnosed with pms.
I just don't feel "right" in my head and it worries me and it puts me on edge.
I don't generally understand small nuances in speech and body language that indicates joke or otherwise, so I appear off to all my friends as well, and their constant asking if I'm ok, pisses me off more.
I love to love people, I love telling them I love them and showing them by doing small things or getting them things that remind me of them.
I wish more people loved to love, rather than loved being loved.
I get warm fuzzies.
I love playing with hair.
I love it more when people let me do it.
My boyfriends hair has this amazing ability to feel cool to the touch at all times.
I love hugs and I think they can convey such passion. Hugs are underrated.
I love being cuddled and I love to randomly cuddle.
I love that when Keila is excited she wiggles....literally.
I love to see my friends happy.
I'd rather break my own heart so someone will be happy than to keep myself happy and them be miserable.
I don't have faith in mankind.
I better meander more later *L* I could go on and on and on.
I'm listening to Sia but I wish I had some Gorillaz. I'm really wanting to listen to some of their stuff....unfortunately for me, I have none.
I have this mesquito bite on my right forearm and it's driving me insane. I wanna score it with a blade to make it stop itching.
So I have paid too much money on maintainence on my car this month, but it's all good. It needed to be done.
I'm working on my second cup of coffee, I'm sure I'll be bouncing off the walls soon.
Poor Foe....He's going to be hearing me buzzing around like a swarm of hornets.
I wish they'd get this bullshit construction finished in front of my job. They only work on Friday from 11am-6pm I swear.
I get to go to Taco Bell tonight to listen to a co-workers woman issues. He really needs to keep his dick in his pants.
I was massively cranky last night, but today I'm not feeling so bad.
I bought groceries last night after work, got to talk to my boyfriend for a moment before going home.
I got to wear my $3 Kangol to work last night. I love wearing that hat.
I have this nasty ass bruise right above my right breast from this fucking case of shotgun shells. The corner hit me. Fucker still hurts.
If you were to look on top of my computer, you'd think I was religiously confused. I have buddah statues and I have an angel on top of it.
Hehe, I just got another cup of coffee and you couldn't hear my music in the rest of the house, but you could hear Louis Armstrong as you walked into my room door, thats awesome.
