I bake, therefore I am …

I’ve been such a lazy ass the last few days.. today I woke up a little earlier, okay..10:30AM. I had some breakfast, and made some cupcakes.

See, I haven’t actually baked anything in years … sure I’ve fried, or boiled, or even microwaved … but baking a bakery type thing, just hasn’t been something I’ve done in a while.

So, I baked cupcakes … chocolate with cream cheese frosting and some sprinkly things on top … they are so sweet, I bit into one and found a cavity in my mouth.

Actually I guess I dont know how to use the electric beaters too well, because I plunged them into the mixture of stuff and got splattered with chocolate cake mix … all over my shirt, on the wall, and all over the counter … so to say the least, I wont be baking cupcakes anymore … at least anytime soon.

I have 30 of them now … so send a self addressed, stamped envelope and I’ll ship one out to you … they are very creamy, but watch those cavities.

Since my friend Jill is in town from San Luis Obispo, I was able to visit her and exchange gifts … actually I spent most of the time with her 8 year old nephew, figuring out which Pokeman turns into what … he has Pokeman cards and Pokeman little cards … everything Pokeman … if you want to feel really old and out of date with anything remotely kid-like spend some time with an 8 year old.

I did manage to relate when the topic moved to Legos and building blocks, and of course had to defend myself when he got these punching glove things out, that talk when you hit something. The highlight was when he pulled out this monster massager and put it on my back … the thing nearly shattered every nerve in my back … bad massager.

So, Les and I brought Jill to visit some other friends and we did the gift exchange that she previously missed … very quickly and it was over.

Les told me tonight, that he intends to propose to his girlfriend Cindy. I dont know what the sudden hurry is..but he feels he needs to do it, because they’ve been going out for two years, and he feels it’s too long to be going out without making a committment. I basically said I’d support whatever he decides and that I was happy … but that he doesnt need to be in a hurry.

The reason, is that he doesnt have any money right now, he’s just moved into a new apartment, and Cindy just returned from Tonga a week ago … just seems like he should wait until everything is settled more … but I’m really happy at the same time … he deserves to be happy. I just want him to do it when he can actually afford a ring, and can do it the right way … getting married is a big committment, that you have to take seriously.

Here I go again.. being Dr. Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurve as Tim would say … when do I get my own Dr. Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurve … who is going to a Dr. Love for me … help, anyone.

Some people seem to get really depressed when they dont have a significant other, or if they have no one to love … maybe I’m just strange, because I dont get that way. I just figure I need to get my life in order, and whenever that happens everything will be fine … no big deal. I just can’t afford to spend all my time worrying about such things.

Regarding the showering issue I brought up yesterday.. I guess girls deal with things different than guys. Guys tend to just let everything hang out … while, as it seems, girls find ways to get out of showering or ways to hide themselves. As one reader said, girls dont shower they just spray lots of perfume all over themselves and put on tons of makeup … and a UK reader said that they shower with bathing suits on, which sounds like something that would go on here in the US … as well, they find ways to change in very complicated ways to hide any bit of skins from showing, which also sounds very much like the US. I remember people wrapping a towel around themselves, and then trying to put their underwear on without losing the towel …

The US and UK are very similar … although I’m sure that the perception is that Americans all run around naked … not the case. We are just as self conscious about it as everyone else … dont judge us by our television shows …

Okay … so this is turning into a forum for nakedness … everyone naked … naked people … the naked journal. Okay, I got it all out … I think its silly.

I think I’m unshockable … I dont know how it happened, but it’s very hard to shock me … I’ve experience so much, and so many people have tried in different ways to shock me … it just doesnt work.

I had one person grab my ass … and although it startled me, more because someone touched me, than anything else … I remember working as a bookkeeper at a grocery store and this lady checker came in, sat down next to me and tried hitting on me, then popped her boobs out in front of me, again surprised, it didnt really shock me … I even had some guy hit on me while I was on vacation, and I just let him, I figured whatever, I’m never going to see this guy again … I dont get people that get all irate about things like that … there’s no need to try to prove your masculinity if youre sure about it … I had another female coworker walk up to me and grab my crotch in a nightclub and then walk away … I thought it was kind of strange, but again it didnt shock me …

There must be something that would really shock me … I just can’t think of anything at the moment.

IN OTHER NEWS … In Oakland, CA – Mrs. Adams says she began starting her car – returning home from a shopping trip when a man leaped from the back seat and began beating her in the head. “Damn you” “You1re no good” he said. When Mrs. Adams turned to plead for mercy, the man, looking her square in the face said “Oh – you1re not my wife, Pardon me!” The man leaped from the car and ran away.
