in the head

Don't know - got too many.

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

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?

I think that qualifies, yes

That makes it your turn.

no it doesn't

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....

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

That's another one of her malfunctions.

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."

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

(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...'

I remain the MOST RUGGEDLY HETEROSEXUAL MAN ALIVE.

Why the modest confession?

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

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...

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

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

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

Not boring.

Definitely not boring. May it be extremely interesting.

Stimulating?

Of course, stimulating beyond belief!!

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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!

OK Riette, sounds like a winner to me.

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!

Now, that sounds real good, Riette.

But aren't you going to have to work?

No Riette I'll take off work.

You'll be on holiday too, then!

Yes, Riette, I will be.

What an incredible coincidence!

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

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

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