a conversation I just had with a guy on okcupid

Guy:hi
Me:Hey
Guy:how are you doing?
Me:Pretty good. how are you?
Guy:not bad
Guy:how is this site going for you?
Me:All right. how about you?
Guy:it's alrightw
Guy:why did you join?
Me:Meet some new people, maybe find someone to date, but it wasn't necessarily the main goal. you?
Guy:to meet a girl to spend time with
Guy:are you bi or bi-curious?
Me:I'm not, no. Why?
Guy:just wondering
Me:I'm pretty sure my profile says straight..
Me:would it matter if i was?
Guy:no, I prefer bi girls
Me:why?
Guy:they seem more open, and they can appreciate girls like I do
Me:there's plenty of straight girls who can appreciate girls.
Guy:if you say so
Me:I've made out with women in the past, but I in no way consider myself bi.
Me:I know when a woman is attractive.
Guy:nice
Me:It's kind of funny that you like bi women because they're more open, but that statement in itself makes you seem very closed.
Guy:gee, thanks
Me:Well you basically called me closed minded earlier for the sole reason of me not being bisexual.
Guy:think what you want
Me:And you as well. I'm just pointing out an inconsistancy in your logic.
Guy:whatever
Me:It might be a better method to try and get to know a person to figure out if they're closed or open minded instead of assuming it based on their sexuality.
Guy:whatever you say



It makes me angry when people make assumptions about your personality based on your sexuality. Honestly he's not worth it, and obviously wasn't open to anything I said. I think the real reason he likes bi women is he thinks it'll increase the chances of him being in a lady sandwich. But to say just because someone is bisexual means they're automatically more open minded... while I will agree that a majority are, I still hate the assumption. Or to assume just because I'm straight means I'm not open minded, and I think that's what bothered me more than thinking that bisexual women are more open minded.

Apparently I rock at Grad school. who woulda thought?

I got an A on the paper I wrote about the GLBT community and on Di!

Also, voice is marginally better today, and I'm coughing a whole lot less.

4 papers and 2 presentations left this semester and only a few weeks left, I really need to get going.

I'm done rambling now.

I got an A on my lit review! -dance- Totally thought i was going to get a C! I'm way more awesome than I ever thought.

Also. I'm trying not to speak for the rest of the night, but it's not working so well. I want my voice to get better but most of me is unwilling to rest it so it can.

Oh no!

100.4 degree fever and crippling cough and body aches =( Noooooooooooooo...

I'm being super dumb and paranoid right now. Just because a boy isn't talking to me all the time doesn't mean he doesn't like me. I know this. I know this well. But sometimes, my feelings aren't rational. Also I have a headache so I think it's time for bed!

Paper 2- about 85% completed and due Tuesday, I'm a little more awesome then I thought =D

I have a reading analysis due tomorrow that i haven't finished, but I can do it in about an hour, so I'll do it tomorrow afternoon.

Also, Roomie and I watched She's the Man tonight and ate her homemade banana bread. Good times. It's ridiculous how funny that movie is.

I have drapes in my room now. It makes me happy that parking lot lights are not shining in my eyes at night anymore.

I bought the noisette's cd yesterday. It. Is. Awesome. Seriously. check them out.


there's no cohesiveness to this entry, deal with it.

I make bad decisions sometimes... look at the cute boots i just bought! http://www.famousfootwear.com/Shopping/ProductDetails.aspx?p=75508&pg=1018579

Also! One paper down one to go!

Yay!

oh my god

make graphjams.com go away because it's really addicting and i can't work on my paper because of it!

Also, I am tempted to go work out for the first time in weeks. Procrastination at it's best.

It's been a long time since I've posted. What better time to return to journaling than when I have 2 papers and a reading analysis to write? I am the queen of procrastination. Especially because currently I am watching Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, and previously finished the first Bridget Jones as well. Both ridiculous movies, but I honestly can't get myself to work on my paper on the effects of divorce on children. I just. Don't. Care! Also Colin Firth is hot and so is Hugh Grant so there's two big perks to watching these movies. whoo!

So what is happening in the life of Resa?
TOO FUCKING MUCH. That's what.

Work is FINALLY cutting my hours down to 31 hours, only took them 3 frickin weeks and of course didn't happen the week of midterms (hence 2 papers and a reading analysis to write). Also I've been sick for the past couple of weeks because I can't find the time to relax and get better. And school, school is hard. I'm glad I'm going because it will help me get out of this job that I totally don't want to do anymore, but man. It's hard, and it's expensive, and it's going to take forever.

On the upside though! I've gone on two great dates, with a great guy. He's sweet, funny, really smart, and cute. He's not shy, so I don't have to make all the moves, and he thinks I'm pretty =). Most guys I date I end up getting super infatuated and want things to move all fast, yet I feel weird about introducing them to my friends and family. I think what happens is I don't actually like them, but the idea of them. And then I'm done with them after a month or so. So far, with this guy, it's different. I want things to move slow. I really like him, but I'm not overly giddy or super obsessive. I'm excited about someday introducing him to my friends and family, but not yet, because I want to take it slow and take it all in. Does this mean it's going to be different this time? Will I actually still like him after a month? Who knows. I'm trying not to jinx it. =P

Anyways, I think I should try and work on my papers now =/

Perhaps I'll write in this more again? I'm guessing it's not likely though, given my track record.

I think I just got prank called. If not, a very strange woman just called me.

So, the house phone rings, i pick up.

Me: Hello?
Woman: Hello?
Me: .....Hello?
Woman: Who is this?
Me: You called me, who is this?
Woman: I know who you are, you're the girl who came onto my property and kicked my dog.
Me: Umm..what?
Woman: You came onto my property and kicked my dog.
Me: I think you have the wrong number.
Woman: no, you came onto my property and kicked my dog.
Me: I was at work today, so I wouldn't have been able to kick your dog, nor would I ever kick a dog.
Woman: YOU CAME DOWN THE STREET AND KICKED MY DOG. I SAW YOU.
Me: What street do you live on?
Woman: Umm... I can't see the sign. I have bad eyesight. I just moved here.
Me: Um. Bye. -click-

hmmmm... If by any small chance this was not a prank and she truly believed me to be someone who kicked her dog, I feel bad for the dog. Poor puppy.

If not, what the hell kind of prank is that?

Today while driving home, I drove past a pickup truck that had flipped over in the ditch on 35. 10-15 cars had stopped on the side of the highway and gotten out despite the bitter cold to go help. I pulled over as well but decided with the amount of people already there I'd probably be more of a burden than a help. But it restores my faith in people when I see people reaching out to others in that way. So often you hear of people watching while awful things happen because they assume someone else will help out. (For example, the case of Kitty Genovese, who was murdered and her neighbors let her die because they thought someone else would help.) It's really comforting to know that some people still care.

I was finally able to put that damn book down but now I can't sleep because my mouth hurts. Damn stale cookies ripping apart my gums.

ow.

Doesn't help that I'm an addict.

it's worse than goddamn HEROIN I TELL YOU.

GLUTTON FOR PUNISHMENT.

bye.

OMFG! She's PREGNANT. SHIT MAN! Again with the staying up until 3 am reading. This is pathetic buddy. we need help. But I definitely agree that this is the best book yet.

GOD.

Kate's taking her life back. I'm following suit. While she is taking her life back via rejoining livejournal, I am instead, taking my life back from my cat.

My goddamn too lovable cat, who wakes me up about 6 times a night like a goddamn baby. So. I am not letting him into my room anymore. Let's see how long it takes him to stop trying to get in.

This might be a really bad week for sleep.

DAMN YOU CAT!

I just heard this on a commercial for the news...

"Find out how a teenage girl found out her 17 year old boyfriend was really a 31 year old woman.."

oh Fox 9 news..

So I woke up this morning and my shirt was on inside out. Since I wore the same shirt to bed as I wore all day yesterday, I know it was on correctly when I went to sleep. This means that in my sleep, I took off my shirt, turned it inside out and put it back on. wtf?
