note to self

Things I'd like to noodle on:
* how much fun life is when one has a crush or three
* how it's even better when one's sweetie encourages said crushes
* how sometimes people surprise cynical ol' me in good ways
* why I'm totally fine dealing with pre-existing relationships, but new ones cause frequent twinges of insecurity
* what my ideal situation five years from now would be
* the answers to patgreene's "Who are you?" question. (Right now I have a burning desire to watch "The Breakfast Club" again, especially since C. hasn't ever seen it.)

All of this will have to wait though, as I'm going to go crash so that I can get up early and get to the store to get ingredients for pumpkin chocolate chip cookies for the various festivities tomorrow. If that fails, I'll go pick up a dozen Godiva pumpkin spice truffles instead, but it will have to be at the last minute to avoid my showing up with 9 truffles and looking a bit queasy. (Note: the way to my heart is not entirely through Godiva pumpkin truffles, but they certainly help light the path. ;) )

third time's the charm?

[geekchick]

Grrrr. Reposting since the stupid web interface keeps chopping off the last character of my posts. And then I posted the wrong link. That'll teach me to be up at the crack of dawn. :)

I like having crushes, I just suck at doing anything about them. :)

Me too. =) Sometimes though I don't really want to do anything about them, I just want to sit around and grin like an idiot for no apparent reason. ;) I find it particularly hard to do anything about it if I'm crushed out on a woman, as I have pretty much self-assessed that I have zero talent at flirting with women for some reason; I'm utterly lacking in clue about how to read responses and the like. Anybody want to volunteer to be my flirting buddy so I can get some practice? ;)

Recipe!! Recipe!!

I use a recipe that spookycam posted a while ago; it's here:

*raises hand*, but I think that really requires geographical closeness, which we're a few states apart :)

I think, for me, it's that I've been flirting with guys since grade school, and I learned how to read the responses. Flirting with women is much newer to me, and I'm good at it jokingly, but not very good at it when I'm being serious.

I got the recipe, thanks! Now I just need the ingredients....

*deep sigh* So true, at least to practice reading feedback in person. Ah well. We could, I suppose, practice the fine art of flirting in journal comments or something. ;)

And again with the "Hey! Me too!".

I don't know.... I'm a woman and you can flirt with me *anytime*

*bats eyelashes fetchingly* How can I, if I don't know who I'm supposed to be flirting with? *grin*

Heehee. *grin* You actually do know me somewhat, but I think I'll just let you wonder.... *evil grin*

There's a certain 'bat who doesn't have an LJ who likes to post anonymously, but usually signs the posts. Hmmmm, I wonder if it's her. If it is, I think she is closer to you than I am....

No, I don't think this person is too close geographically. =)
