What's worse, an idiot jerk or a jerk idiot?
elderfear is playing one of those gay memes where you sign up for questions and have to answer them, so I threw my hat in since I don’t much to post about lately except the whole “I have two boyfriends” thing going on, work related stuff, and the weather, all of which make me sound (more) like an ass, so its easier to just not-post, but I guess I committed to this, so here goes:
Discuss your sense of self as it relates to your often abrasive and overtly sour personality?
I’m neither abrasive, nor sour. I just dislike false social situations. I hate the barber for this reason, because we’re expected to make chit-chat. I hate talking with casual coworkers, because its dumb. I don’t care about their kids, or where they went for dinner. Does anyone care about this stuff? Not likely. Same goes out here on the Internet. I don’t expect anyone to care about anything I do, and I very rarely care about what “strangers” think of me. This week, in the Montreal LJ community, there was an announcement the subway had to close cause someone was seen running through the tunnels. My reply was “They should just speed up the trains and turn the windshield wipers on,” and it ended up causing a miniature drama. Why? Who cares about this guy? Not me. Probably not you. Probably not the people who got mad and said it was insensitive and uncalled for, but they’re just playing the game that I can’t be bothered with. It sounds like an ego-trip, but I really just think I value honesty more than politeness.
Do you really believe that Canadians are so much better looking because they're descended from prostitutes?
I don’t know if its because of the 400 hookers who were shipped here when we first opened up shop, but there’s definitely something. I’ve been all over the States, and Canada, and even when Australian friend helo-i-am-beej lived with us for three months, he flat out stated that walking down the street here was causing non-stop whiplash. There’s a lot of really good looking people here. A lot. Crossing the border is weird because you can notice the change immediately, you’re a lot more patriotic than we are, and you are a HECK of a lot fatter.
whoa, thats kinda cool
Do you ever get jealous when your S.O. tiddles around on the side? Does he ever get jealous when you do? (..per your arrangement)
I used to. Not anymore. Mostly when it was first brought up by Ben. He suggested it, almost out of the blue one day, and I was crushed. I thought this-was-it-for-us, and I got really sad, and really angry, and really overall upset, and he eventually backed off the argument and went to take a shower while I sulked in the living room. While waiting for him, it dawned on me that the same things had crossed my mind. I would like to try other things. So many relationships fail, and probably a lot of them because of “cheating.” This “agreement” opens up the relationship in terms of being honest to one another, keeps the sex interesting, and we don’t have to worry about sneaking around on our partner, which many couples probably do. The first time he went out, I had not made plans that night, and I basically sat around watching TV, and I worried myself sick over it, but its worked itself out, and I have practically never taken advantage of it until very recently with Chris.
What one thing do you want to accomplish that you haven't yet done?
If you thought my previous answers were egotistical, this one will knock your socks off. I’m going to be straight up and honest. I’m under-30, I’m a size 30 (usually), I have a good looking boyfriend I’ve been with now since we were teenagers, we have a nice house in the suburbs, a late model car (that’s blue!), an adorable dog that listens like no-dog I have ever seen before, I have a great relationship with my parents, and they love and accept Ben, I reasonably do-not-hate my inlaws, I have a job that I love going to every day, there’s 4 people in my department (of 12) who are retiring in less than two years, so in the event of a MASSIVE LAYOFF in my company, they’ll be given early retirement packages, so I’m not worried about the GLOBAL ECONOMIC CRISIS terribly much, I make an absolutely staggering amount of money to the point where I am literally embarrassed by it. I lack for almost nothing, I look good in a tie, and I have a first-year University student with nice abs who fools around with me on a regular basis. I can’t complain about much. I guess I should answer the question instead of going ego-insane, so I’ll go with quitting smoking. I probably should have just said that at the beginning?
Wanna be my house boy? Or is that something Daniel would be better at?
thedandan is attractive, but he doesn’t strike me as the subservient type. You’d have to pay me an awfully large sum of money to be a house boy. At least that question is phrased in a way to only sound a little bit creepy, so thank you for that.
I think I should put all this in my LJ profile. Also, is it just me, or are LJ email notifications not working? Lame.
