to adjust to the returning boyfriend, findout where they met. Keep conducting this survey at all bars where you approach women who are not actually alone and post the results (hopefully they will not say that they met in the bar) <<<
When the boyfriend wandered off for a moment, I did ask the young woman next to me if they came there together, or met there. They went there together. Personally, I have a strong suspicion that at least a few of the better candidates were home reading at the time. (Fluffy kitty-cat optional.) A few more were with friends -- And at some point in their conversations they wondered where to meet guys who are a good match for my description. As an old friend wisely said, I don't stand a chance because neither of us would have enough nerve to break through the other's shield. For example: I sat in the bookstore with a cappuccino large enough to keep a horse awake for 3 days, reading William Burroughs. Most every time I look up, the pretty, chilly, red-haired girl is looking at me. Haven't tried to talk to her for a while. She doesn't make it easy. On the way out, I say "Your name is {so-and-so}, right?" "Yeah", she says, in a tone I don't know how to interpret and cannot assimilate. Time to bail out. "Just checking my memory....good night". And I do have to wonder, are we fighting the same battle, or does she stare for the same reason one becomes fascinated with a car wreck?

Then Chicago-area listmembers need to arrange a meet-up. If you're in or near the area, get in touch. I'll post something later specifically about that idea.
The music press are always going to stereotype B&S fans as being all the same, even though it's blatantly not true.
Sensitive, yes, and a tad fragile at times. Cardigan sweaters are simply more -practical- than crew necks, in and out of the cold. And girls make me happy in the expected ways. Or as Momus wrote: "'The Homosexual' they call me It's all the same to me That spectre you projected I will now pretend to be Since your neurosis is what passes for normality It's okay with me if I'm queer Since your tone-deafness is called the love of music I won't disabuse you I'll make love with your woman I'll make her sing notes of pleasure That you will never hear Never in a million years No fucking fear" --Mark __ Burning Rome : SENSELESS CD on Mindfield Records MindCD03 Cathartium 14
