All of my LJ friends sew. Moly, Julia, Sharaze. Interesting.

Brighton needs to stoooop emailing me. I think I'm really over their stuff.

I'm just going to unsubscribe.

When I have this much rootage, I am reminded that my hair is, in fact, nearly black.

Want! (Minus the guy fragrance one)

More april fools stupidity

They changed everything to "Pony Jam" on the Escapist....there's more I'm sure.

Okay, not only is he gay, he's also a writer of...

Get this...

World of Warcraft related erotica.

Yes, that's right kiddoes. Google "Steyener" if you want to see how screwed up this guy is.

He's got one profile that says he's straight, one that says he's gay, one that offers wife-swap...(obviously pre-divorce on that one)




Here's a pointer kiddoes: Don't use the same online alias for EVERYTHING you ever do.

Okay, so that guy from below that was stalking me?

Check this shit out, this is HIM:

http://fubar.com/user/2061644

Read the last line.

Okay, I realize my earlier post was waaay too long and I should have edited the hell out of it, but I figured I'd let you read it all if you wanted to.

My main point is--in my mind, the only time I may have sent any kind of "signal" when I was like, "Sure thing." about him putting himself in line to date me when I come out of my "alone" time.

But it's really bothered me.

He hasn't written back, which is odd for him, so I'm sure he's probably nursing some hurt feelings and whatnot.

It creeped me the heck out though. I don't like pushy men.

So this guy I dated in high school has been trying to get me to go out with him and I've been trying to say "GTFO" since January.

This is him from January (this is all on Facebook, btw):
You know, I was reading your 25 useless facts and thought I would share some things. First off, how do you know me? You look so familiar but I just can't seem to recall. Also, if your 25 facts are any indication, It's a shame you are seeing someone (for me not you lol). I saw so many things you and I both have in common. Shoot me an email back if you want to talk more.

Me: _____, you really don't remember where you know me from? Well, I was in 9th grade when you were a Senior. We met the summer before your senior year in Band Camp. We went on probably three dates. One was to the Lion King. LOL. I probably only remember because you were like my 3rd person I dated, but I remember. I think I was between Amy and Kim for you, if that helps you place me, lol. That said--How are you?

I thought I was just being friendly....but then-.....
Him:
Divorced is how i'm doing. I married ____'s little sister. She just decided one day that she didn't want to be married anymore and that she didn't get a chance to do any running around. I will apologize right now for back then. It was probably one of those "omg i'm a senior i don't want people to know i'm dating a freshman" thing. I know that sounds harsh but I was stupid back then. It's now that I see what you look like more than 10 years later that I kick myself for not wanting to be more. I will say that if your 25 useless facts are any indicator, then you and I would be perfect for each other. Heh, I know you have a BF but i've always been of the mind where if I want to get to know someone, I don't care about the whole BF obstacle. Call me sometime on my cell. I'd love to talk on a more personal basis. It's _____

Me: _____, I'm happy where I am. :)
Thanks for the ego-stroke,
Tamara

Him: lol ok then.

Okay, this is from RIGHT AFTER (like 8 hours) after Randy changed us to "single":
Him:
Sorry to hear about that. If it makes you feel any better, i'm in a similar boat. I'm here if you want to discuss/bitch about it lol.

Me:
Thanks, bud. I'm not at the bitching stage yet. I'm more at the mourning stage. It was a complete shock.

Him: I was there as well and recently in fact. The weird thing was that missy and I weren't even official for any more than a month. Then about a week and a half ago she just stops talking and stops answering the phone when I call. I had to hear from her sister the reason. She said too much too soon. I'm a great guy and she knows i'd do anything for her, but she got scared.

Funny thing is that she still isn't talking to me. It's eating me alive. Not that we aren't together. That she flat out refuses to speak to me. I've been all emotional and stuff all last week and then it hit me...

I just got broken up with for being a great guy. WTF? lol.

Anyway, my cell # is 5_______. When you feel like talking, i'm ready to listen. No rush. I know you and I don't know each other very well, but I try to be there for people that are going through something similar to me. Kind of a vow I made after returning from cursillo back in september.

Me: I didn't reply.

Then like two days ago, he posted something about something called "Cursillo" which I asked him what it was. Instead of replying on his status line, he replied in facebook email this:
Him: I went at the request of a really good friend. I went not because I wanted to become a better christian. I went because I had nothing else better to do. I came out a completely different person. The whole experience was just amazing. I went to it as a candidate back in september. I am now working as a team member for the weekend (for the men obviously) coming next weekend. Women's is 2 weeks after the mens.

Me: Wow, that's great, _____. Way to go. :) Have fun this weekend!

Then he posted something about having "sucker" written on his forehead. I asked him wtf was up witht hat, basically. He takes it BACK TO FACEBOOK EMAIL and writes: I'm probably gonna get stood up. I'm seriously pissed right now. I swear going through this whole introductory dating thing is totally not worth it.

Me: ...eharmony.com?

Him: That would require me to actually pay and I don't think I've sunk to that level of desperation yet. You know, this could all be avoided if you had said yes to the date I asked you out on a while back lol. (a little humor to lighten my mood so I don't go to church raging).

Me: :P LOL. Have fun at church. :)

Him: So, how is your love life going?

Me: I'm taking some time off from guys at the moment. I think I'll probably start dating again around New Year's.

Him: So, I can totally put myself in queue?

Me: :) Sure thing. :)

Him: You are so mean, lol. Gonna make me chase you for like 8 months.

Me: I sincerely hope that since you're "on the market" that you find someone you're compatible with before I put myself back on the market. :)

Time for study group. Yeehaw.

Him: Well, you know what they say. Some things are worth waiting for. I seem to be having way to much fun being every woman's punch line atm.

Me: Ahh, chin up, _____. You'll come out all right. :)

Him: In all honesty, I feel really horrible for letting a woman like you slip through my fingers way back when. I read your profile when you first added me to friends and honest to god, you seem to be me but in a woman's body. Then you told me that we dated back then and it made me feel like crap that I didn't remember. I feel that if I was given another chance, that I could vindicate myself. I'm in no way trying to push you in anyway, btw. Just pouring my thoughts out.

Me: _____, I was 14. :) There's probably a reason it didn't work out. And I wouldn't be the person I am today without all the water under the proverbial bridge. And I know people who have been together since high school and guess what--it doesn't work out in the (very) long term because ONE of the parties had to give up a LOT in order to maintain the relationship. So it's all better the way it is.

And I'm really not that great a catch, I promise. I'm overweight, over-opinionated, entirely too political, and unlikely to change. I'm not spontaneous, aggressive, or really very feminine. I'm just Tamara. What you see is what you get, with me.

I'm also seriously considering going to law school. Or losing 40 lbs and joining the military. Or both.

At any rate, this is too long.

Tamara

Seriously, I thought I was FUCKING OBVIOUS ABOUT FORTY TIMES OVER DOUCHEBAG.

Him: you know, you can bash yourself all you want. it doesn't matter to me really. If I was really shallow enough that what I see was what I judged things on, then what type of person would I be? I haven't seen you in what...15 years? I was immediately interested in you based solely on your interests and just the way you talk in general. I don't like girly girls. I love a smart ass that will keep me on my toes. I don't like a girl that's agreeable. I WANT to argue about stupid things.

You say that you aren't a great catch. Don't sell yourself short. You ARE a great catch, it's just finding the guy that will appreciate you for the person you are.

I haven't asked you out as of yet, because I wanted to respect your space being freshly single. I will ask you out now. I don't want to go out, woo you in hopes of sweeping you off your feet. Just go out, have some fun, catch up, act stupid, just as friends.

Me: _____,

I'm just not interested. I'm also not comfortable with how strongly you're trying to pursue me. I do not want to be pursued. Not to be mean, but that's how I feel.

Tamara





I had to be mean.

Has anyone seen this?

Cool eh?

Tam

Tam

I feel the need to post something, so I can pretend to be as cool as my friends, who all post way more often than me.

That said.

Lvl 40, woo! I have to say that being on a PVE server is great. I highly recommend it.

Julia, come play. Swear, it's fun and it probably won't give you carpal tunnel as fast as all the handicrafts.


Uhh. So I've almost made my my mind (FOR SRS THIS TIME GUISE!) about what I"m going to do when I'm a big girl. More on that later.

maybe.

Cos I never update, so really people find stuff out waaay late. Or from my facebook wall, lol.

so for like $2.00 you can buy 6 green tea bags.

I decided to buy some tea.

/facepalm.

Green tea, when steeped....IS FREAKING GREEN. THIS IS BROWN!
