The Kat&#39;s Journal

I dream about cuddling. Kevin says that makes me a woman. Do I count as one of your female friends?

From:

First of all, it's not an insult to be a woman. There are people who make it seem that way sometimes.... but I guess there have to be skanks, air-heads and bitches.

Secondly, as we discussed last night, you're too much of an asshole to be a woman. *grin*

No, while I know women who would kill for your hair and to be as skinny as you are, I don't think you count.

Female friends are a rare commodity, and I treasure mine. I'm glad you consider me a friend, Kat.. I like how our friendship is blooming.

From:

Female friends are easy to come by if you're male, though. Or maybe it's just the males who dream about cuddling?

From:

This makes me think about things...

There has to be some sort of social dynamic that this fits in. I know it isn't true that all women have mostly male friends or the other way around. I wonder why that is in this situation.

Is it because of the group we're in? There are less females to start with? Is it because guys are easy to understand as friends? Is it because of something else?

Hmmmmm...

From:

I find it's easier to hang out with women, in general. Men are great because there is the no bullshit factor (generally). Women are great because I can flop on their laps and say "Play with my hair." Well, I can do that with /nearly/ all my female friends except for Holly because she's a stingy bitch. ;)

From:

I think that's why I started hanging out with guys more. They weren't playing most of the stupid social games everyone else was. At least the ones I was with.

A lot of women are catty, false, and back-stabbing. They look at other women as competition, and plan accordingly.

They are much nicer to men because the whole point of being competitive is winning a man. Hence why men have lots of female friends.

There are women who aren't catty, false, and back-stabbing.. and they tend to like guyish things, like comic books, gaming, video games, cars, and other stuff. They tend not to be able to be friends with women that aren't because they don't put up with the bullshit factor.

Then you find one or two other girls who like comic books, cars, and gaming.. and we're rare as hell.. but worth being friends with, IMHO.

Not that I've put much thought into this..

From:

Right on.

From:

We totally need to hang out more and talk good books and movies again!! Well and everything else!

Oh, and I need to chat with you about that shirt you want made.. velvet ok with you?

From:

Ah yes... Clothing stuff.

Hmmmm.... Yes, we shall have to speak on this as well.

Speaking of comic books, do you read any right now? I think you'd like Strangers In Paradise.

From:

I read lots of Jhonen Vasquez, Roman Dirge, Gloomcookie, The Authority, Transmetropolitan, umm... I am trying to catch up on Neil Gaiman...

There is more...

Damn, I need to go by the comic shop today.. heee...

From:

I need to go to Golden Age. I don't have the money to pick up my comics right now. Next pay check. You wanna come with me when I go?

I really think you'd appreciate Strangers In Paradise. I really like Katchoo as a character, then of course, like sociopaths, I have a weakness for a good butch female character.

What am I reading right now in comics.....
X-men (2 titles), Batman (6 titles), Strangers in Paradise, Hellblazer (couldn't resist John Constantine), W.I.L.D.Cats, JLA, Wonder Woman... I think that's it. I want to pick up Green Arrow now that he's back

From:

I have a subscription box at The Dreaming, which is also a customer of mine.. so I just need to go pick the darn things up!!!

Ah yes.. next paycheck can't come too soon.. I only get paid once a month.. :(

From:

I get paid every two weeks. Getting paid every month would be a possible finaincial nightmare for me.

Where is The Dreaming?

From:

Heh. You know, you wouldn't be so broke if you didn't buy so many comics, Kat.

From:

I spend about $40 on comics every other month, if that. It's something I buy when/if I have the money.

Now that I'm not paying all the bills, the money thing isn't a problem so much. I don't have lots of money, but I'm not skipping eating because of lack of money anymore.

That and the .50 cent raise and the overtime I'm doing really have helped. The extra 80 or so a paycheck after taxes is enough for me to eat on.

From:

Woa, one can never spend too much money on comics heh heeh.. no I don't have a problem heh .. (o^_^o)

From:

Hee hee hee! I suddenly don't feel half as dorky as I did 30 seconds ago. ;)

From:

The Dreaming is on the north end of the Ave in the U District. I used to live a few blocks from there.. and now it is just a short drive to the place.

Oi, I really need to pick up my comics!!!

Soon!!!

From:

Hmmmm....

I think I know where that is.

From:

I know where that is cuz I live in Ravenna, what area do you live in?

Thank you for being the Hostess for the fun lastnight!
Very good food!

From:

My pleasure. Sometimes I have to remember how much I enjoy cooking. It's just expensive to cook real food all the time.

From:

Have you seen the trailers to the Tim Burton version of 'Planet of the Apes'?

From:

I have. I saw Dragon fighting in the style of he made for the movie at Con. He's one of the apes. He's listed in the credits as "Ape with swords" or something like that.
