If I hadn't drunk so much Friday night I'd have joined y'all last night. Girly sleep over at a friend's house while her hubby worked the football game. I ended up drinking almost an entire fifth of Southern Comfort and 4-5 shots of Fireball cinnamon whiskey. She put away almost an entire fifth of scotch plus a few…

I replied to TsunamiBlue down thread but I wanted to say the same thing to you - I'm on the prowl for some internet friends for the same reason as you, so if you're interested....... :)

If you'd like another Internet friend here I am too! Fellow SA sufferer here and I'm working really really hard to overcome it. It would be nice to connect with other like-minded chicks. Your post could have easily been lifted from my brain. :)

Y'all are totally schooling me tonight. I have a Chem degree but I ended up teaching high school. So much of what I once knew has gone the way of many other glorious things like the Edsel and the manual typewriter. (Not that I know of those - I'm an old but I have yet to reach those exalted levels. )

glitter herpes!!!!!!! I love it!!!

bust outta that rut honey. Life is too short for you to have regrets. I'm a very quiet introverted person unless you see me in the classroom in my teacher persona where it's like seeing a different person completely. Couple my shyness with bad boy history and you have a girl who hasn't dated seriously in a long time.…

For most of my teaching career I've been the only one teaching the courses I've had. But I've been fortunate that I've had great department heads to bounce ideas off of, and the miracle of the interwebz has made things easier.

Boner soup! HA! love it.

I get your confusion. In that situation you were damned if you did, damned if you didn't AND not aware of that being the issue so you could rectify it if you chose.

I'm jealous. :) I could go for that kind of joy ride today.

Thank you for your reply! I'm glad I'm not the only teacher out there who is willing to be someone who gives their kids the straight dope if they can. I've had a few people who've taken it upon themselves to get offended when a kid asks for that kind of help legitimately. Did that make sense to you?

I had a male student ask me once "Ms. TriLam, isn't it true that if the girl doesn't come then she won't get pregnant?" all the way across a crowded high school class room. My answer was "Uh no. People who think that? They get called parents. Dumb parents."

I've been having sex with a friend about every 2-3 weeks when our schedules sync. What I really want is to be boning 24/7 right now but that's just not practical. Sometimes it seems like it's damned if I do, damned if I don't. Just can't seem to reach a happy medium of optimal amount of sexy times.

Thank you for making me giggle today. The mental picture of people dancing in circles and the translation just about made me fall out my seat.

Victor/Victoria and The Lion King for the staging/puppetry.

That sounds like me, but I've worked real hard at keeping it casual and not getting attached. It helps that I like the sex way more than I like him. Don't get me wrong, I like him well enough to keep this thing going past the first date, but he's not what I'm looking for in a LTR and he seems to feel the same about…

Seconding IamMarsupial's comment. I'm in a very casual FWB relationship right now but am okay with not being in a"real" relationship - whatever real may be. I like my own company and figure everything will happen when it happens. Don't stress out over it.

Good to hear that. Now maybe you can relax somewhat.

Cool. We all have opinions.

I didn't even think about the smarm factor, but you hit the nail on the head with that one. Making love is a very Ron Burgundy-esque turn of phrase. :P
