Lalla cookies by muchagecko (4.00 / 2) #2 Mon Dec 31, 2007 at 03:15:24 AM EST
I bet were yummy.

Well, shoot, what I meant to write was:

She hid herself from the first man (Sufi master) she had seen in years by running into the first place she saw which was the old giant oven located in the abandoned bake shop.

In the good old days, "ovens" were like the walk in fridges we have here in the States. I think there is a different word for "oven" but I can't think of it. Its in the translation somewhere.

No toasty cookies there 'gecko! But I hear she was super hot. And really wise.

platonic friends by MillMan (4.00 / 1) #3 Mon Dec 31, 2007 at 03:58:01 AM EST
unless you're both completely unattracted to each other, it's rarely stable unless you're both getting all the hot sex you need elsewhere.

When I'm imprisoned as an enemy combatant, will you blog about it?


Milly- by moonvine (2.00 / 0) #6 Mon Dec 31, 2007 at 08:47:59 AM EST
No.

I completely disagree.

It is not that black and white. Or simple. Or logical. Or easy to assess.

But you're a guy and I love how you think, regardless!!!

maybe it's easier for women by MillMan (4.00 / 1) #14 Mon Dec 31, 2007 at 11:35:40 AM EST
the penis has very simple demands, and it always wins. "Beating back" its demands results in serious emotional turmoil. I've certainly tried. It's never a net positive.

Now that I think about it, the easiest platonic friendships I have are with women with whom I did once sleep with and with whom all the sexual energy between us has been spent.

When I'm imprisoned as an enemy combatant, will you blog about it?

Not always true. by toxicfur (4.00 / 1) #9 Mon Dec 31, 2007 at 10:00:17 AM EST
I had a friend before I met ana who I was very close to. I was very attracted to her, and she to me, but neither of us were in a position to be in a healthy relationship. We never slept together, and stayed very close. I owe her an email, but I know she's out there, still caring about me and happy that I'm found love.

You sublimate your initial heady erotic love feelings to real platonic love. It can be done!

story of my last couple of decades by iGrrrl (4.00 / 1) #21 Wed Jan 02, 2008 at 09:41:34 PM EST
One thing I like about being stably married is that it removes the possibility of sex from any relationship with someone else (and that's male or female someone elses for me). Changes the dynamic entirely, and for me, that's a good thing.

I see things very plainly by theboz (4.00 / 1) #7 Mon Dec 31, 2007 at 09:49:10 AM EST
I tend to cut the bullshit, which makes some people angry, but it's just the way my personality tends to be.

Your "friend" is hedging his bets.  He has a girlfriend, but he also wants you.  The type of men who write stuff like that either do it to women they want to be with, or because they are gay and like writing that kind of stuff.  There is no writing beautiful letters to mere friends.  He's got you on the back burner in case this girlfriend doesn't work out.  That shouldn't really be a problem though, since you seem to be really into him as well despite your denial.

Of course, I could be wrong as this is just $0.02 from some random guy on the internet.

Oh but by moonvine (2.00 / 0) #8 Mon Dec 31, 2007 at 09:59:19 AM EST
the letter writer friend is not the same yoga loving friend that has a girlfriend I met in my class! There are not one, but two male friends mentioned here in this diary.

Haha!! My yoga loving friend would NEVER write to me the way my long distance friend does ;) Its funny to me to even imagine him doing that.

My letter writer friend is indeed into me. And me, him. He does write me beautiful odes. Sends me beautiful things. He's completely single and free. But he's so far away. If he were here I'd attack him everyday. All I am doing now is basking in the warmth that these things sometimes brings.

Distance is meaningless by theboz (4.00 / 1) #12 Mon Dec 31, 2007 at 10:52:00 AM EST
I didn't realize they were two people.  My reading comprehension skills are not the best first thing in the morning, especially when I am at work for the first time in over a week.

Anyway, if you and your letter-writing friend were really that much into each other, one of you would find a way to go to the other.  In this day and age, it's not that big of a deal to move somewhere.  I say this as someone married to a person who was originally in another country.  Distances are easily overcome.

I remember your diaries by moonvine (2.00 / 0) #22 Fri Jan 04, 2008 at 08:06:16 PM EST
on K5 when you were writing about her (your wife) a lot. Awww. And now you have a beautiful baby girl!

I think, I know this is going to sound super wussy, that I like this long distance thing. I feel too beat up right now for anything else. It suits me just fine, our distance. He's moving back to the West Coast when he finishes his Masters- which is where I plan on ending up anyway. Whatever is meant to be will be. I don't want to force anything. It could be that I have met the greatest platonic friend of my life. I am fine with that. Hell, right now, I am fine with it all. I hope this feeling lasts =)

It's so wonderful... by toxicfur (4.00 / 1) #10 Mon Dec 31, 2007 at 10:03:14 AM EST
to read your diaries, and to feel the warm, positive, and loving energy that radiates from my screen thanks to you. Have fun with your friend, and I hope that your letter-writing friend and you end up in a compatible geographic and emotional space one day soon.

Everyone needs a mate like that.

Although the cynic in me asks - does he want to jump your bones?

(This is coming from a bloke who was indeed the long distance special friend who secretly wanted a relationship with said lady.  Curiously she ended up living in a flatshare with me, and we had a brief relationship of 72 hours.  Heh, that's an interesting set of memories).




Well, by blixco (4.00 / 2) #15 Mon Dec 31, 2007 at 11:43:54 AM EST
we're at least putting the fork in this year, and with friends like this, we don't need much more.

The next year, though....if it's not at least 100 percent better, I'm totally going to slip into a coma.

it's not you, dear by Kellnerin (4.00 / 1) #18 Mon Dec 31, 2007 at 06:12:58 PM EST
it's my complete failure to keep up with just about anyone :( I do read everything (eventually), I've just been terrible at writing anything in a timely fashion (it's only now that I never mess around on the Internet at work that I realize just how much time I routinely used to waste!) I'm hoping some of my new toys will help rectify this problem, however. Just think -- I'll be able to write Kellnerin-on-a-train diaries while actually on the train!

Anyway, know that my silence doesn't mean that I'm not still here, loving what you write.
