  No.

  Never.

  And I got totally sick of all those holier-than-thou brothers and sister telling me that if only I prayed with sincerity, Jehovah would listen. What?!!

  Other! The worst thing ever happened (read, most embarrasing) was when the elder marched over the dancefloor, towards the DJ, demanding that the music should be changed. The song "I wanne have sex on the beach" was deemed inappropiate.

  Gawd, I felt mortified, I was just one soul in a vast crowd, but felt the thoughts of all those worldy people there thinking "how pathetic are these witnesses". I so wished not be there at that moment.

  I dread Christmas this year.

  I have no-one to celebrate it with.

  I mean, sure, I could invite myself to join in the merryment at some friends places. But all my friends are celebrating with their parents, and so I won't do that. My dad is outta the country. My boyfriend broke up with me. And I'll be damned if I cook a Christmas dinner for just me and my mum. I mean, no offense to my mum, but that is no fun at all. Christmas should be spend with a lot of people, not just two people, and the only time it can be spend with just two people, it should be with your significant other.

  So, I desperatly wanted to make Christmas go away for me, you know, like hybernate for three days straight, and wake up with it all being over.

  But then, yesterday, I figured that even when I have no-one to celebrate it it with, I might as well make the best of it anyway. So I started to decorate, got myself a fiberglass, tall angel. The thing is hideous to no end, my theme this year. There is a santa climbing on a rope from my ceiling, I have candles with Jesus and the Holy Virgin on them. I also decorated a huge ficus, with candles and lil' ornaments. It looks absolutely HIDEOUS, and I'm loving it.

  Next thing on my list is to find a huge fake RED tree. My hearts desire.

  *sigh*

  Good thing tho, friends of me are comming over for New-Years, so I will have a blast of a party then. Looking forward to it.

  I btw, do love the song, cuz it is darned brilliant and beautiful sang by Meatoaf. And I guess I am revising my opinion about the lyrics irking me out, lol, perhaps the guy is just being honest and ... erm ... decent in doing so.

  So ... on the amateur-psychologist side .. can a relationship like that last, or should they just break-up? what-ya-think?

  Scully, that's a good analysize. I like it.

  Gumby, LMAO @crying testicels

  Copsec, lol, I love the songs even (or esp. ?) the long ones

  One_Ugly_Time, so two outta three ain't bad at all, eh? I agree tho, the needing part is relative. It's the love part that I find yto be necesarry for a relationship.

  BluesBorther, hmmm, interesting.

  Rekless, got his email address?

  SS, you think?? In a freudian way it might I suppose..

  Expatbrit, I totally agree.

  Gadget, I find that as plausible a reasoning as Skully's...

  Thanx all, for your thoughts.

  Did you have a relationship with your friend Jehovah?

  by Nosferatu in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember watching that young people ask video "how can i make real friends".

  they were saying that jehovah can be your best friend, and you have to view him as a real person.. even when i was a jw, i could never buy into this crap.

  how can you develope a relationship if there's only communication one way?

  Where were you at 33 years of age?

  by DanTheMan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've managed to survive 33 years (and a couple of weeks).

  what a long strange trip it's been.. in spite of some tell-tale signs of aging (wrinkles around eyes, gray hair, mystified and sometimes terrified by the current youth culture) in some ways i still feel like a little kid who doesn't know anything.

  what have you learned since then?

  Do you know the song "Two outta Three ain't bad" by Meatloaf?

  I mean, wtf is that all about? Here is this guy telling his g/f that he needs her, he wants her, but there is no way he is ever gonna love her. And she shouldn't be sad, cuz two outta three ain't bad.

  I swear, that is just plain stupidity, how the heck shouldn't that girl be sad if her guy starts singing to her:

  Baby we can talk all night
  But that ain't getting us nowhere
  I told you everything I possibly can
  There's nothing left inside of here
  And maybe you can cry all night
  But that'll never change the way that I feel
  The snow is really piling up outside
  I wish you wouldn't make me leave here

  I poured it on and I poured it out
  I tried to show you just how much I care
  I'm tired of words and I'm too hoarse to shout
  But you've been cold to me so long
  I'm crying icicles instead of tears

  And all I can do is keep on telling you
  I want you
  I need you
  But -- there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
  Now don't be sad
  'Cause two out of three ain't bad
  Now don't be sad
  'Cause two out of three ain't bad

  You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach
  You'll never drill for oil on a city street
  I know you're looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks
  But there ain't no Coupe de Ville hiding at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box

  I can't lie
  I can't tell you that I'm something I'm not
  No matter how I try
  I'll never be able
  To give you something
  Something that I just haven't got

  There's only one girl that I will ever love
  And that was so many years ago
  And though I know I'll never get her out of my heart
  She never loved me back
  Ooh I know
  I remember how she left me on a stormy night
  She kissed me and got out of our bed
  And though I pleaded and I begged her not to walk out that door
  She packed her bags and turned right away
  And she kept on telling me
  She kept on telling me
  She kept on telling me

  I want you
  I need you
  But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
  Now don't be sad
  'Cause two out of three ain't bad
  I want you
  I need you
  But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
  Now don't be sad
  'Cause two out of three ain't bad
  Don't be sad
  'Cause two out of three ain't bad

  Baby we can talk all night
  But that ain't getting us nowhere

  Excuse me??!!!! How exactly is two outta three NOT bad? It's horrible!

  Note, I am a huge fan of Meatloaf, but these lyrics are irking me out.
