On being single for four years (or two days)

  • John: What are you up to tonight?
  • Me: Some mas­tur­bat­ing, some cry­ing, maybe both at the same time.
  • John: That’s a page out of last night’s play­book for me.

My boner says you're a woman

This is awe­some.

So the English word “serendip­ity”, which is dif­fi­cult to trans­late into other lan­guages, comes from a story named The Three Princes of Serendip. If you’re inter­ested, you can read story in it’s entirety (it’s short) on Wikipedia.

The strangest part is when one of the princes deduces that a woman was nearby:

I guessed that the camel must have car­ried a woman, because I had noticed that near the tracks where the ani­mal had knelt down the imprint of a foot was vis­i­ble. Because some urine was near by, I wet my fin­gers and as a reac­tion to its odour I felt a sort of car­nal con­cu­pis­cence, which con­vinced me that the imprint was of a woman’s foot.

Which basi­cally means that this guy noticed a pud­dle of pee, dipped his fin­gers in it, smelled his fin­gers, then got horny, plus or minus hard-on.

That is some medieval Sherlock Homes deduc­tion shit going on there. What if he later found out it was really moose pee? Would he be able to admit to him­self that he was sex­u­ally attracted to moose?

No One Gets My Humour

Sometimes, my sar­cas­tic humour is so dry and sub­tle that peo­ple who don’t know me very well think I’m being seri­ous. I try to say things that are so ridicu­lous they can only be taken as a joke, but it doesn’t always work. Example:

Yesterday, Jairus made pulled pork sand­wiches (took him 8 hours!) that smelled soooo good they made me hun­gry, even though I had just eaten a huge din­ner. As we were watch­ing A Jihad For Love (about the coex­is­tence of homo­sex­u­al­ity and Islam), Jesse said, “Too bad these Muslims wouldn’t be able to enjoy this deli­cious pulled pork sand­wich”. I said, “Oh, cause it’s pulled”, in a tone like I had just real­ized some­thing, but what I thought was a jok­ing man­ner. Everyone turned their heads at me, Ian said, “Cause it’s pork, yeah”, and he lin­gered on that yeah really slowly, like he was embar­rassed for me, then every­one turned back to the TV. I’m pretty sure they all think I’m an idiot now, and that I thought Muslims have some­thing against ani­mals when they’re slow-cooked in vine­gar sauce.
