Nothing to see here.. move along, move along

Dead To Me
That whole Groucho Marx (or was it Carl?)thing about not wanting to be a member of any club that would have him...that's the way I feel about relationships. I can't fathom being in a relationship where someone is willing to date me.

Are they crazy?

In other news, I crafted wall sconces for my meager apartment in The Willow Wood. Very gratifying.. now if I only had that skill in real life. I don't think people use the sconce in modern decorating very much these days. I think it's time for a renaissance of medieval furnishings. Of course all the sconces would have to be tricked out with moving parts.. just in case you want to access your secret lair and stuff. Gotta be able to pull a levered sconce to make that bookcase swing open to reveal the spiral staircase!

Hey, as long as it's a deliberate choice, as opposed to a rationalization for things beyond your control, I say run with it. You can even start up your own Club of One.

I think people are crazy for wanting to date, period. But that could just be me. o_O

Hmmm.. what are my alternatives though? I like the sex part of it all.. perhaps I need to budget in some prostitution money.

Man, that's gonna cut into my platformer money though...

You could always invest in a RealDoll. One time payment...

They're ruined for me. A creepy "friend" of mine was seriously considering one, and that has ruined it for me...

Hey I've seen pictures of those. They look very life-like. And they don't talk back!

Instead of a relationship you could have a network of buddies willing to fullfill your sexual desires. ;)

I saw a designer decorate with sconces once on trading spaces. Of course the same designer thought it would be cool to use toilet seats as bench legs.

Ah yes.. the jail themed dungeon room with the mural...

Yeah, Doug's a pretty bad designer some times.. and cranky too!

It was interesting all right :P, I liked the mural a lot, but not too many people want their bedrooms to look like prison cells now do they?

There are sconces in our new house. I'm replacing them with outdoor lights that resemble Victorian streetlights.

The thing that creeps me out about RealDolls is... they would be cold. Ew. Ew ew. And, of course, they smell like rubber, and I require a HUMAN scent from my sexual partners.

... Yeah, this makes me sound creepy.

So far as dating goes... I am looking forward to it. I've been having self-esteem stone-kicky issues for a bit, but now I'm back in school and talking to people and I've realized two very important things:

a) I look better than many women-- I'm at least in the upper 40 percentile, especially when I dress up.
b) More importantly, I'm sane.

So what's so horribly wrong with you that any woman who would date you is automatically out in the cold? Maybe I'm jaded, but you have a job, you like gaming, and you don't pride yourself on being insensitive. That already puts you at the top of the class.

You've SEEN pictures. Well, like a year ago, but still-- photos.

There will be more shortly of me in my hot Senior outfit. Proof of legality in all fifty states.

And you didn't answer my question. :(

How am I supposed to be a good LiveJournal friend if I can't read what ails you?

I don't think there's something wrong with me per say, but I don't see the appeal. I'm not being negative.. I rock and so forth, but honestly, I'm just astounded that anyone could care, etc.

And on another note, I think you would make a killing if you could bottle HUMAN SCENT for people buying rubber women. I think there's a market, one that could have celebrity scents, even.

Brad Pitt would sell well. ReRun from Good Times? Not so much.

Ahem...ReRun was on What's Happening? Easy to remember; he was the one that would always barge in and say, "Hey Rog, what's hap'nin'?"

*laffs* I hear ya. I mean, I'm whiney and needy and sometimes reclusive. Whoever married me must be crazy... I dunno. I guess sometimes people see stuff in us we can't see.

And as for sconces, they RULE because they're all goth-y
