hey gorgeous (yes you!), now i'm just confounded, with all the negative things you described about Ahren--he was still lust/kiss worthy? (but looking back on the horrible men i fancied in the past, i should best keep my mouth shut.) i suppose since the relationship was so twisted and demented in the first place, you probably didn't too much more harm. oh, my friends and i have concluded that record store employees are some of the most crushable individuals. we've all had mini-infatuations on at least one guy from nearly every downtown NYC music retail establishment. a while back, I was developing a zine and the first issue's theme was supposed to be crushes, but it all fell through cos my anticipated contributors all flaked out. Of course, now I'm totally inspired to get it started again--I currently have two victims for my man-chasing madness! smooches, a jessica wrote: i've been getting generally good reaction to the ahren kiss, except for one extremely moral soul who threatened me with an ass-whupping and pointed out that ahren has a girlfriend. true, true, but i will explain: he broke up with her about a month ago because she's too clingy and never goes out and is an all-around wet blanket. well, she kept calling him and sobbing and showing up at his house begging him to take her back, that if he took her back that she would be different, blahblah. ahren just wanted to stop her from being so darn obsessive, and he did still want to sleep with her (ah, here's the catch), so he's now going out with her again and actually sees less of her than when they weren't together, which suits him just fine. and it's common knowledge that he's just with her for sex and nothing else. i would like to point out that ahren is going to university in san diego next year and is leaving in june, so this coupled with several other factors (his spinelessness, for one) would make it difficult to have a real relationship. which i don't want anyways. yeesh, i just feel that i need to kiss him. that's it, and believe me, i wouldn't have done it if he had a girlfriend in every sense of the word, but he doesn't...he just has a girltoy, which yes, is a little like what i'm doing, but at least i'm not begging to be called a girlfriend. so hopefully this will allay the fears of those of you who have decided that i'm some sort of homewrecker. and thanks to those of you who are standing on the sidelines with pompoms and little skirts. The squat was a difficult position that most yoga teachers have problems assuming, but the disenfranchised in all societies do it with ease. -Paul Beatty ____________________________________________________________________ Get free e-mail and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
