I'm often surprised at the range of content on my friends page. Posts about relationships, explicit sex, defining gender, families and children, economics, politics. I love the world that people around me inhabit and with that mine was as interesting. It's almost like wanting to be one of the cool kids, only at some point in my life, I grew up and realized that the cool kids were only cool because other people decided they were, and not because of any quality that inherently made them cool.

I wish I was one of the cool kids now.

I spent a chunk of last night chatting with two different friends in internetland about their relationships. It amazed me how similar some of the things they said were. It makes me worry about mine. Not because of anything they said, or anything I can see going on here right now, but because everything seems so fragile.

Widget Thunderpaws spent part of today on the bed, leaping towards the ceiling fan. He's trying to attack the pull chain or something. He's far more entertaining than the dog I spent part of today with. Glenda's a nice dog...she's a young pit bull who was rescued by friends of ours. He works with Cayne, she's usually home with the dog, but is out of town for a few days, and so instead of Cayne's co-worker running home during the day to let her out, I offered to go over and do it. N is a producer, so his hours aren't quite as crazy as Cayne, but they're all working long hours.

I've been having an incredible number of dreams about sex lately. And it's good sex in my dreams. My sex drive is really through the roof right now.

I'm looking for pajamas with feet. I don't need them in Florida, but when we go up to Sudbury later this year they'll be nice. Cayne's mom's house is always very cold. So far, most of the hits for my size point me at adult baby fetish things. I'd rather not order from fetish clothing places. I'd be especially happy if I could find a blanket sleeper with feet and everything.

We've been sort of talking about buying a car, since we know we're going to have to replace Cayne's car at some point. And a house.

I've been thinking about Halloween costumes-we may have a party to go to. It doesn't feel like autumn here. Today was the first day that was more rainy than sunny, but it was still really warm. It's late September and I'm still defaulting to shorts and short sleeves. And thinking about what we ought to give out for Halloween.


I'm going to go eat a pickle and a brownie.

Was there earlier tonight, and they don't have my size.

But thank you for the suggestion.

I wish I was one of the cool kids now.

Dude, you are so definitely one of the cool kids. I aspire to someday be that cool.

[jpallan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's the only one I've seen. However, further Googling yielded: http://www.vermontcountrystore.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=12048&itemType=PRODUCT&iMainCat=56&iSubCat=479&iProductID=12048

[geminigirl]

Also not in my size. That was aquariumgirl's suggestion-we were both surprised to not find my size there.

I may order a pair of pajamas from there without feet and just get a really really warm pair of socks to sleep in.

[sandboxdiva.livejournal.com]

You might want to check out this - it doesn't have feet, but you can your feet up inside. I think this is the same one my mom gave my brother's girlfriend for Xmas last year, and she loves it.

You are SO one of the cool kids.

[geminigirl]

I feel so not cool these days. I wanna be as cool as you.

Are you just flattering me so I'll sleep with your wife again? ;)

(If I could have figured out how to get it to her reasonably, I'd have bought her Big Red, which was on sale.)

[geminigirl]

If nothing else, I might get fleece socks from there. :)

[also-huey.livejournal.com]

She was talking about you the other day, and made you sound very cool. And I was skimming through your old journal entries, and... ...Michael Flatley has seen you naked? Dude: that story? That's pretty fucking cool.

I don't think I'd flatter you so you'd sleep with my wife. If I was going to flatter you, it'd be so you'd sleep with me. Whether or not my wife sleeps with you really isn't my decision, except insofar as we're married, so I could probably at least try to say 'no', and we're in love, so I could also try to do whatever it was that I thought would make her happy. Do ya think sleeping with her would make her happy? I think it might. Maybe you should hit on her, and see what happens.

[geminigirl]

I don't know what would make her happy. If it were me and I were trying to make her happy, I might take her to the Sephora store, or the Chanel or MAC counter. And try on lots of fun stuff. And kiss her on the neck a lot.

I think I would have orgasms if I got to kiss your wife again. She is a fantastic kisser. Especially when she's wearing lipstick.

Odd twist to the Michael Flatley story that wasn't part of it back when I made that entry, and the comments...I'm married to one of the people who removed Michael Flatley from the party.

Pshaw

[maxdwolf.livejournal.com]

I hereby decree you one of the cool kids.

[pecunium.livejournal.com]

My life (which in my LJ seems to be about politics, cooking and random bits of travel (both good and bad) isn't as interesting, to me; from the inside, as it probably looks to those who see the bits I share.

The cleaning up from the cooking, is part of the eating. The day to day, the scrubbing the toliets, and cleaning up the dogshit (and the snakeshit, for that matter) are as much (or more) than the things I think interesting enough to write about.

I too look at the stuff on my f-list and am agog at all the other bits of interesting stuff there is in other peoples' lives and am croggled that some of them want to read about mine.

hee hee, i've been dreaming about a tremendous amount of sex lately, too!

and to me, you'll always be one of the cool kids!

[geminigirl]

I keep meaning to ask...how do you know also_huey?

[also-huey.livejournal.com]

She doesn't. I found her in somebody else's journal (broken-gizmo? onceupon?) and followed her home.

[fairion.livejournal.com]

I wish I had a good suggestion for feety pjs but I don't. I found one pair many years ago and never again.

As far as the weather it is still summerlike here too and I am still in shorts and tshirts. Hard to get into the mood of autumn when it is 90 outside

[kellfire.livejournal.com]

I got my fleece footies a few years ago at Wal-Mart//Target/Somwhere like that.

[deza.livejournal.com]

There are really only two seasons in Florida--wet and dry. Wet is when the hurricanes are coming through. Don't be surprised if you're still wearing shorts at Yule.

Personally, I don't want to be a cool kid. Too much damn drama. I'm enjoying being boring.

"I'm going to go eat a pickle and a brownie"

Is there something you're trying to tell us? -sM

[jennifer0246.livejournal.com]

well, damn. everyone else has summed up my comments, so i'll simply repeat:
i got my footies at a mass merchandiser, probably 5 years ago? just start looking at the online stores, or have your northern friends look in the actual brick and mortars.
pickle and brownie, eh? iiiiiiinteresting.
i love how varied my FL is too. i wish i knew all these people in real life!
and you are one of the cool kids, yo.

[vix.livejournal.com]

One day I decided I was one of the cool kids, and to hell with anyone who thought I wasn't cool. I still believe that, and in my deluded perspective, I am one of the coolest of the cool kids.

[aelf.livejournal.com]

The first year of anything -- living in a new place, marriage, school, kid, anything, is hard. It often leaves me feeling disoriented, because it takes me awhile to adjust to the new reality.

I'd recommend making the footy pjs, except I haven't successfully found the no-slip-um stuff you need to put on the feet!

[melebeth]

That was EXACTLY my reaction.

[geminigirl]

Yeah. I just feel like one of the cool kids would adjust faster to this whole moving thing. It's not like I haven't made friends though.

[geminigirl]

I'm going to northern Ontario for the late December holidays. I'll be wearing lots and lots of layers. It just doesn't feel like time to get ready for autumn things. I miss the smell and crispness, and the colors. I've always loved spring and autumn for the colors.

[geminigirl]

I promise when there's some news about that I will post it.

[geminigirl]

Not that I know of.

But I promise that when it's the right time to tell people that, I will.

[vvalkyri.livejournal.com]

:laugh: You beat me to it.
(thinks back to rdhdsnippet's post about the navel ring and having been right that time, though :) )

[geminigirl]

I may wait until I actually get up to Canada to find something, since I'm not finding anything online. The other alternative is adult baby fetish stuff, which I'm finding is not unreasonably priced. As long as my feet are really good and warm, we'll be okay.

[geminigirl]

In a pinch, there's always adult-baby fetish stuff. I just have to find out who makes high quality stuff.

[geminigirl]

Would you all be saying this sort of thing if I'd written that I'd thrown M&M's into my popcorn?

Chocolate and salty things are really good together.

I promise when there's news, there will be an announcement.

[vvalkyri.livejournal.com]

Nope. It's the pickle that does it.
And Chicago style (cheese & caramel together) is pretty good.

[vvalkyri.livejournal.com]

why not just wear slipper socks?

[geminigirl]

If I can't find pajamas with attached feet, I will. But then, the socks can slide down, or the ribbing at the ankles pushed up, and you have that cold gap between.

[geminigirl]

I think that there might be a pickle poll in the works now...

[cmariewt.livejournal.com]

Honey, you ARE a cool kid in my book. And my book is the only one that matters.

A pickle and a brownie? Wow. You are something else.

[aubkabob.livejournal.com]

so THAT'S how we met!! i had figured that i had met you through one of those meet up communities or something!

glad you followed me home!
