You know, I'm totally cool with you ignoring the fact that I'm a girl and just treating me like another guy friend. We can game together, we can complain about women (hey, mud slings in both directions), and I can be your wing(wo)man and you don't even have to worry about me cockblocking you. But for fuck's sake, don't double standard me. Don't treat me like I'm a guy friend and then get weird when we actually hang out. Don't suddenly notice I'm a chick on days that I happen to dress cuter and push me away because you're paranoid I'm coming on to you. (So sorry that I was born female and I play up that asset - and anyway, you really have the self-conceit to think I'm doing it just for you?) Either way then, I lose, and that's not only unfair, but incredibly irritating as well. I typically get along better with guys than girls because of mutual interests, but I have very few guy friends because they all turn into morons the instant we get past a casual "hello." Moreover, isn't that kind of selfish? You automatically assume that because I want to be friends that it means I'm trying to get in your pants? Grow up, guys - and you know, I wish I could just blame it on you, but we would all get along a lot better if men AND women stopped playing stupid relationship games. This screws up potential friendships for the rest of us.


See, I have this same problem, just reversed. I have a lot of "gal pals" that completely seem to forget I'm a guy until I say something about the football score, and then they get all critical about it and start talkin gabout piggish men :roll:

Moreover, I'm just frustrated with my love life. Mostly because I don't seem to have one. My biggest problem is that I'm not in it for sex or some quick term relationship to get through the valentine season. I actually try to befriend and get to know somebody before I start dating them. Sadly enough, most women I seem to meet don't want long-term relationships. >_>' That, or the accounting department is just THAT slutty. |:>

I'm 4 years older than you Kari, and I have my younger brother's friends marrying and having kids all over the place, forget people I knew in high school (although part of it comes with the school being Catholic...) Worse, my Russian family and relatives just CONSTANTLY bombard me with reminders of the fact that, literally, I have been single longer than anyone in my family. Only one or two people in my entire extended family didn't have kids at 27. Absolutely everyone was married at that age. So yes, I totally feel you there T__T

I used to be a lot more worked up over this issue even a year ago. Then I realized a lot of it was really down to me, but not in an unfixable sort of manner. Not all my problems were just circumstances, just some of them, and a lot of my 'missed opportunities' and subjective 'forever-alone-ness' were completely my fault. I failed to pay attention or make decisions when I needed to, because I was too absorbed either in trying to figure out whether I like someone or not, or in my own feelings of inadequacy. Hence the result.

In the past few months I've changed pretty dramatically, paying particular attention to not constantly shooting myself down and wallowing in 'forever-alone-ness'. That opened things up for me personally. Surely enough, about a month ago I even met someone that I instantly and definitely liked, and much to my own surprise I acted correctly and non-awkwardly around her - things just naturally seemed to work and I'm slightly proud of my behaviour in the situation... only problem was that she was taken ;__; That was a bummer. A real massive bummer. But ah well. It was a huge confidence booster for "next time".

Otherwise, to some extent I'm also beginning to see that maybe staying single through that period of my life was probably a good thing. For the majority of people, there is a lot of stuff going on at the time. A lot of relationships end up experimental rather than committed and definite. There's nothing tentative about the sort of thing I'm after, so... perhaps it was useful for me to go through and wrestle with my own personal (perceived) inadequacies before jumping into anything and getting hurt as a result. I don't think I would've handled it well at all and it would have really been worse for my prospects in the long term.

...but something better happen soon, or I will again start quietly raging >__>

I've been single since 2002 since I got sick of playing the games and losing. :?

Is there a cheat code to win?

My wrist works again. It's the whole scissor-kick-over-the-obstacle thing that freaks me out still, despite me knowing that it's within my physical capability to do so.

Also:

That reminds me that I've been single for all but 1 day of my life so far (I thought it was closer to 3 months...but that's another story)


I have you beat. My counter's at zero.

My sister quit her job last month and told me she was going to get unemployment or a new job.

She didn't qualify for unemployment and still hasn't gotten a new job. Now she's late with her car payment and rent and now needs to borrow money from me.

Tomorrow.

So, when I release a new AMV, I'm pretty much guaranteed to get at least a couple of comments between here and youtube, and have had a couple of fairly popular vids, so It's pretty great to get feedback on something I've worked hard on. But sadly the comments and such don't extend into the art world for me. I'll put a lot of hours into a piece and be very proud of it, but when it gets posted, I'll be lucky to get a few faves, much less comments. I may not a super awesome artist, but I definitely don't suck either, so it can be a little discouraging when the only pieces that receive recognition are the fanart that I do, especially because I want to make a living off of art [Cue laughter]. That's what I get for trying to post original characters and comics on DeviantArt, I guess. I'm not really asking to be the next popular artist or want to boost my ego, it would just be nice to know that someone gives a crap about the art I produce sometimes.

And in other news, I spent my spring break doing a crapload of work for my church for Easter related things, and ended up getting way less sleep than I usually do, even pulling an all-nighter. And now school has started and I still get to wake up early, and I'm fighting being sick to boot. I don't mind the work I did at all, but come on, summer! Get here!
