oh man

do you even KNOW how hard it is to write a paper when you're sitting in the huge warehouse window of a boho coffee shop when it's twilight and pouring rain outside???

NO! ARGH! seriously, the uber-romanticized evening sun setting in the midst of a spring shower that is covering everything with a puddle of wholesome, nourishing, life-giving rain.

*sigh* i'm destined to forever romanticize life as it continues to infect my life with non-stop distraction.

straight guy friend (sgf): why?
me: i kinda have drive to.
sgf: ok...
me: well, last night there was this really really cute guy online and was flirting with me, but you know, he's totally cut. like, not in the huge muscle-head way but in the, well, you know, good looking way. he's got pecs and a six-pack and is really in shape... and well, i'm not. and he can totally see that in my profile... he can't miss it. and he was still flirting with me.
sgf: maybe he just wants a tubby bitch.

doppel-WHA?

on sunday i was waiting in line for brunch w/ some friends when one of them turned around and stated in a very shocked voice, "i just saw your doppelganger!" having NO idea what the hell he was talking about i responded with an equally shocked, "WHAT?!?" and then promptly checked my fly. nope, everything was packaged up nicely.

he stated it again, "no, over there! your doppelganger!" once again i said, "what?"... well, this went on for a few cycles before i finally said, "no seriously, i have no idea what a doppelganger is." it's at the point that the cycle ended and he told me how a doppelganger was a person's twin, their lookalike, their other-half. and supposedly MY doppelganger was standing right behind me.

so, as covertly at possible, i spun around and began looking for a ruggedly-handsome man in his late 20's w/ a beard and hair that looked like it should have been cut two months ago. whouldn't you know, he WAS standing right behind me, and even more shocking was that, indeed, i found him quite attractive.

that's when i had two revelations only one of which i shared w/ my friends:

1) i am TOTALLY attracted to guys that look similar to me, i.e., facial hair, not primped, kinda rugged-ish, looks like they're quite comfortable in their own skin. note, i'm not attracted to guys LIKE me but that just guys that LOOK like me.

2) if i ever got the chance, i'd totally make out w/ myself.

this last revelation was kinda fun to think about at first but the more i used "doppelganger" in conversation the more i thought about making out w/ myself which made me think more and more that i was a freak.

now before you reply with a resounding "DUH!" please think about it first for yourself... if you got the chance, would you makeout w/ yourself? i'm not as much curious how many people say "yes" but rather how many of those saying "yes" are straight *grin*
