Anybody want to make a guess on how many times "I'm bulemic, and I can't get up" will faint at the bash tonight.

I am guessing 4.

Hmmm... I think...

I'm guessing just once. However, somebody will be stupid enough to fall for it, and they'll take her home.

All the way home, she'll be saying something like, "Brett wants me to lose weight and I don't want to disappoint him. He thinks I'm fat, so I'm going to be bulemic."

So, I think 1.

I think they both need a beating, him for being a dick, and her for falling for it, and manipulating the only friend who will put up with her crap.

I think he's worth less than crap. And so is any woman that panders to his bullshit. Perhaps they deserve each other.

You know, the saddest part of all this is that there are real people with real eating disorders (and they DON'T wear their martyrdom on their sleeve, and they DO need help), and idiots like the drama queen make it that much harder for people to recognize this as the problem it really is.

Boy, I know. Can you imagine?

Some friend.

She's just hoping that Soblonde will act as her mouthpiece to get her boyfriend off her ass. What a dishrag. Grow a spine, woman!

Hey Falcon, they're throwing your famous pec-pic round the "MR. GREENLIGHT Contest" thread. Might wanna check on it.

I mentioned the Mazola party, encouraging all to come. Thought you wouldn't mind.

Always the spoilsport, I have to point out the honey gonna make spinning the Twister-game whatyamacallit tough. Think you should stick with the oil.

Can we change that to KY though? It's better on the latex.

EEEK!!!

See, it's gotten to the point that you can't even suggest naked honey-covered twister without somebody thinking something dirty. What's this nation coming to?

Look, honey's bad for lots of reasons... Not the least of which this whole thread's about weight problems. Honey or mazola just aren't "safe" foods anymore. And they're bad on latex (I'm referring of course to the Twister sheet, which is made of latex. What kind of latex did you think I was talking about?)

I think it is deeper than that. I think she likes the attention Soblonde gives her. Notice in the I'm puking up blood rants she did not call her boyfriend, because he won't listen to the drama. I think it is terrible that she is ruining Soblondes engagement day with her little tantrums.

OOoooooohhh... Uh... I was thinking... um... that... yeah.

Well, Mazola is vegetable oil... what do you think, Crisco?

So, like is KY what they cook KY fried chicken in? It's got to be high calorie.

Totally.

I think she's telling soblonde, though, because she knows soblonde will tell her boyfriend. That way, she thinks it will all sound so much more credible.

The only one seeing through her crap appears to be her boyfriend.

Well we are using a tarp so no worries there. Plus the honey will help when you have to have right foot red, left hand red.

Crisco? Well, I don't know if you're quite ready for Crisco just yet. You first-timers always want to do it all the first time. Crisco is for real pros. I'm only guessing, but I don't think you'd be quite open enough for Crisco games.

KY is--- Hmmmm. You know, I've never wondered what the caloric content of KY is. But I'm sure it's pretty low. The clean-up's pretty easy too. That's important, once these things become a regular event.

Well her boyfriend and all of us, and thank god Soblonde's boyfriend has a clue!

I agree with you on the telling her boyfriend part also.

I'm not sure KY games was what they were thinking when they started Greenlight parties, but it works.

No, no, no... It's just that Crisco is SO slick... I mean, it's just really easy to lose control--- I mean, ANYTHING can slip---

I just don't want to see you hurt yourself, Falcon. Sure, it sounds fun, but it's so easy take a nasty spill and break a wrist or an arm--- or something.

Yeah imagine Falcon, you would be sent to the emergency room saying I was naked on a tarp full of Crisco, playing twister, when I realized I was bulemic and puking blood. Just kidding.

If you broke your wrist it would be quite a story to tell the wife though.

Last time I told her that, she said, "Yeah, like I've never heard THAT one before..."

I think she's wise to me.

Actsoblonde, did your friend ever post in the Affleck.com Common Room under the moniker of BensJen? This chick was absolutely obsessed about having broken up with a guy named Brett. Everyone tried giving her sympathy and sound advice but she wanted none of it. She sounds much like you're friend. And there can't be that many Brett's out there.

Listen to every word Falcon has given you. He's right on the money. And I've got the credentials to back that up! The fact that you aren't listening to him, and are keeping the story going makes me think that you're either a fake and are putting everyone on, or are just as screwed-up as your friend, only on the other side of the co-dependent equation. If you weren't, you'd be listening to more of the good and consistent advice you've been given. The fact that you aren't makes me wonder.

And ARTRA, dear... Alas, we are not soulmates. I don't like all that outdoor stuff that you do. Occassionally, but not as a regular thing. Skateboarding? Hiking? Hang gliding? I don't think so. Windsailing in Kauai, that I'm up for but not the rest.

I'm more of a homebody and an artist. I like to talk and am more interested in spirituality than activity. And while I'm not a fatty by any means, I most certainly could stand to lose a few pounds--around 20 or so.

And for me, food isn't just a necessary ingredient for living; it has meaning both socially and aesthetically. I'm a good cook and I'm proud of that fact, (although I don't very spend much time doing it). It's certainly among my hobbies, however, next to painting, writing, crafting, reading, and thinking. I almost majored in home economics education, in fact. I like the domestic arts and am pretty good at them. Except cleaning. I frigging hate to clean!

So, alas, friend, you must seek on for your soulmate, for I am most assuredly not she.

And I fucking hate sandwiches. Give me some homemade soup any time!

Just be your charming, funny self, and I'm sure sooner or later you will pass up the Falcon. It helps if your single. I don't like to be the other woman its bad karma! Of course in games of naked crisco twister anything goes!

The number of fakes posting here bothered me a lot at one point. Let's face it, these boards look more and more like testing grounds for screenplay scenarios and frustrated actors. On the other hand, responding as if it's legitimate may help someone else further down the line. This may be a fake problem for actsoblond (or maybe not), but it is unfortuantely a real problem for someone else, either now or in the future.

Clip, as far as I'm concerned, once it's real, then I'll deal with it. Maybe I'm full of shit. But I don't think so. Reading this thread from the beginning, this has been one big game of "yes, but." (I'm Ok You're Ok by Harris). If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Just calling it as I see it. I think I just wore out in the Deity thread.

Sweet, thanks. Boy that one was frustrating! I think I may finally have scared her into shutting the hell up which was exactly what I was trying to do. And in her own best interests--either way that one went--if you know what I mean. Lordy!

Falcon, you're one smart fella! Where'd you learn all that?

Sachet,

I never said I was looking for a hard-bodied genius. Those were words put into my mouth.

I was trying to answer what was origionally a sincere question. And I suppose I was thinking out loud. But it was ment to be all about haveing a ballanced life. About filling your life with as many aspects as possible. A book lover can also be someone who loves being outdoors. You don't have to be a 'jock' to love being in nature. Can't imagine a more romantic outting than a picnic
on a balmy day. And, no, you don't have to be a 'jock' to take care of yourself. Exercise is in many forms.

Nor do I expect whoever I'm with to be a 'genius'. But the desire to always want to learn something new, try something different,
is appealing to me.

I suppose, in my stupid way, I was trying to tell whoever was listening here that some men are less concerned about superficial beauty and more concerned with inner beauty and my idea of inner beauty has much to do with the quest for knowledge.

Goodbye, my friend.
No more post here.
