story #1
on thursday, november 1st i was really, really frustrated. i wrote a little entry titled "give me". it went on and on about givers and takers. if you haven't read this i think you should, it will give you some background on my perspective. in a nutshell it says...
givers are always going to give and takers are always going to take
i believe this wholeheartedly. we are hardwired either one way or another. in my opinion there is no middle ground. so i was having an interaction that went something like this...
Other human: can I make
you coffee?
Me: you don’t know how to make coffee, because you don’t drink coffee, but thank you for the offer.
Me: you don’t know how to make coffee, because you don’t drink coffee, but thank you for the offer.
Other human: I’m just
trying to be a taker instead of a giver
Me: you got that wrong you are supposed to be
giving instead of taking, but this is exactly my point.
did you giggle just a bit? i giggled when this happened. i simply couldn't help myself. there was something hugely gratifying about making my point without having to do a thing.
story #2
several weeks ago, at least three, i unexpectedly stayed the night somewhere. i wasn't drunk, i wasn't trying to get laid or anything like that, it was just late and i didn't feel like driving. to further my point that i wasn't trying to get laid, i was having my period (there is no point in trying to disguise what it is) and he had just had a man procedure. you get the picture, there was absolutely no "hooking up", it was purely innocent. anyway, since i hadn't planned on staying there i borrowed a pair of boxers and a tshirt to sleep in.
since then i have been trying to return these two articles of clothing. i made it real clear that all i wanted to do was return these two items, nothing more. all my attempts went unanswered. time for plan b, i text are you going to make me become one of those crazy women who tracks you down and makes a scene in front of your friends to return your things? well that got his attention i will call you tomorrow. uh huh. as i figured he didn't call. so i went and dropped them off, where i knew he would be with his friends. i didn't make a scene, just dropped them off. in and out...lickety split.
attention men you cannot blame women entirely for being crazy. i think that you men contribute to some of the crazy. for the record i think all women are crazy, but there is a scale of crazy and it just depends on where you fall. i try to stay at the end of "just crazy enough to make it seamlessly through the day" as opposed to the other end which is "batshit crazy". if this fella had to explain why in the world some girl was dropping off his skivvies this is not my issue. i gave him every opportunity to do this exchange in private, but he made an alternative choice.
anyway, a couple of funnies. that's all i've got for the day.
cheers

Most of the time if you do something like that the conversation will begin and end with, "yea I fucked her...she had to borrow my clothes"
You did that with his friends there so it left the conversation wide open.
marvin...i refuse to be the keeper of someone's personal items.
oh and as far as leaving the conversation wide open...that seems to be forte even when i'm not trying ;)
