what do you consider to be your major malfunction?

~riette Thu, Sep 24, 1998 (01:44) #1

Don't know - got too many.

~KitchenManager Thu, Sep 24, 1998 (09:10) #2

that's okay, there's plenty o' time, just start listing...

~riette Thu, Sep 24, 1998 (14:38) #3

It's about malfunctions, if I remember correctly - that's the only thing I've got in plenitude over here! So, here's number one: I live in mortal fear of being&feeling vulnerable - somehow connect it with being a victim or something. I never want to be a victim of anything. So when I feel that, I lash out at people, so that I'll hurt myself instead of having another hurt me. That's a malfuntion, right?

~KitchenManager Thu, Sep 24, 1998 (17:47) #4

I think that qualifies, yes

~riette Fri, Sep 25, 1998 (01:26) #5

That makes it your turn.

~KitchenManager Fri, Sep 25, 1998 (07:33) #6

no it doesn't

~riette Fri, Sep 25, 1998 (11:22) #7

Oh, I get it, now I get it. This was a set-up all along, wasn't it? You just wanted to get me to admit to my malfunctions, and then all pretend like you don't have any....

~KitchenManager Fri, Sep 25, 1998 (12:25) #8

nope...it's just not my turn at the moment... (paranoid, aren't we?)

~autumn Fri, Sep 25, 1998 (13:38) #9

That's another one of her malfunctions.

~KitchenManager Fri, Sep 25, 1998 (14:13) #10

okay, okay, my turn, but I'm borrowing the words from the Bare Naked Ladies, "I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleave. I have a history of losing my shirt."

~autumn Fri, Sep 25, 1998 (17:00) #11

Don't know what he means? Well, you soon will.

~riette Sat, Sep 26, 1998 (11:48) #12

(Off! Get off my shoulder, you nasty nasty creature! Pshh!! And shut up, Voice in my head!) Now where were we? Oh, yes. About Wer's mind on his sleave and all that. In your case, deary, it should read: 'I have a tendency to wear my mind in my underpants. Unfortunately I don't have a history of being a flasher...'

~CotC Thu, Nov 5, 1998 (12:05) #13

I remain the MOST RUGGEDLY HETEROSEXUAL MAN ALIVE.

~terry Thu, Nov 5, 1998 (14:12) #14

Why the modest confession?

~riette Fri, Nov 6, 1998 (03:21) #15

He's a mind reader! I was wondering about it less than a second ago! Hail, it's a miracle!

~CotC Fri, Nov 6, 1998 (11:16) #16

C'mon, Terry, I gotta be modest about sumpthin', don't I? No, actually, I can't really remember. At the time I wrote it, I think I thought it had something to do with a previous post. Or something...

~riette Fri, Nov 6, 1998 (11:28) #17

Uh-huh, uh-huh. So what's it going to be, babe?

~CotC Sat, Nov 14, 1998 (09:01) #18

So what's what going to be?...

~TIM Sat, Nov 14, 1998 (23:28) #19

That was an open question, for you to state what you wanted it to be.

~riette Mon, Nov 16, 1998 (05:36) #20

Not boring.

~TIM Mon, Nov 16, 1998 (06:24) #21

Definitely not boring. May it be extremely interesting.

~riette Tue, Nov 17, 1998 (02:02) #22

Stimulating?

~TIM Sun, Nov 22, 1998 (06:28) #23

Of course, stimulating beyond belief!!

~riette Mon, Nov 23, 1998 (08:24) #24

WHAT are we talking about??? What is stimulating and stimulating beyond belief? Mexican food in a Mexican Restaurant in Mexico?

~TIM Mon, Nov 23, 1998 (09:04) #25

I have no Idea, Riette, I thought you knew. And yes, It could apply to the whole Mexico experience. Mexico has a way of assailing the senses.

~riette Mon, Nov 23, 1998 (11:10) #26

Have you been there alot? What's it like? In which way does it assail the senses? Will I like it?

~TIM Mon, Nov 23, 1998 (11:25) #27

You will absolutely LOVE it!! Riette! There is so much to see and experience. I have been there a lot of times, More than 50.

~riette Tue, Nov 24, 1998 (08:08) #28

I can't wait! If it's so great, we should stay over one night, so we'll have more time to see things.

~TIM Tue, Nov 24, 1998 (08:46) #29

Absolutely!! I know people that have spent a week there, and still found new things to see and do.

~riette Wed, Nov 25, 1998 (02:34) #30

Wish I had that much time. But we're going to make MORE than the best of that week!

~TIM Wed, Nov 25, 1998 (10:39) #31

Indeed we are, Riette! Why are you limited to a week?

~riette Thu, Nov 26, 1998 (01:56) #32

Studies, work and kids. I could TRY and make it 10 days, but can't promise anything. I'd love to come for two weeks, but it just isn't possible.

~TIM Thu, Nov 26, 1998 (02:56) #33

Well Riette, you see what you can expand it to, and I'll see what we can squeeze in to the time we have.

~riette Thu, Nov 26, 1998 (07:15) #34

That sounds good. If we don't sleep, it will be like having two weeks. Lots of espresso coffee beans!

~TIM Thu, Nov 26, 1998 (17:30) #35

Oh Yea, Riette! I'll probably be too excited to sleep for at least the first couple of days.

~riette Fri, Nov 27, 1998 (01:55) #36

Me too. I always take a while to settle down - I tend to go hyper in the excitement of going to a place I've never been. But I'll take some sleeping tablets on the plane, and sleep as much as I can - to gather reserves!

~TIM Fri, Nov 27, 1998 (02:01) #37

Oh God, Riette! I forgot that you are going to be dealing with jet lag too.

~riette Sat, Nov 28, 1998 (01:29) #38

Which means we'll have to plan everything for the dark! ha-ha! No, I'll be fine, I'm sure.

~TIM Sat, Nov 28, 1998 (01:32) #39

Riette, I hope you will be. But just to make sure, maybe we ought to go a little light on the first day.

~riette Sat, Nov 28, 1998 (15:43) #40

I'll probably arrive on the morning, and we can just take it easy - drink tea, talk, whatever, and I'll see to it I get a good night's sleep. After that I'll be ready to GO!

~TIM Sat, Nov 28, 1998 (18:41) #41

OK Riette, sounds like a winner to me.

~riette Sun, Nov 29, 1998 (13:31) #42

Good. No taking it easy after that though - I want to be totally drained at the end of it; that's how I like to feel after a holiday!

~TIM Sun, Nov 29, 1998 (13:37) #43

Now, that sounds real good, Riette.

~riette Sun, Nov 29, 1998 (13:52) #44

But aren't you going to have to work?

~TIM Sun, Nov 29, 1998 (14:07) #45

No Riette I'll take off work.

~riette Mon, Nov 30, 1998 (02:22) #46

You'll be on holiday too, then!

~TIM Mon, Nov 30, 1998 (02:33) #47

Yes, Riette, I will be.

~riette Tue, Dec 1, 1998 (02:01) #48

What an incredible coincidence!

~TIM Tue, Dec 1, 1998 (02:12) #49

Yes Riette, one would almost think that it had been done on purpose.

~riette Wed, Dec 2, 1998 (01:35) #50

Well now, that never even crossed my mind! How lucid you are today!

~TIM Wed, Dec 2, 1998 (01:42) #51

Actually, Riette, that was yesterday, today I'm in my usual fog.
