bethanie's Journal: Troll, Loser, or Both?

Dude!! What's up with this guy? Brand new UID... could be a troll account... Is he for real, or a joke, or a real joke? In any case, it's pretty funny regardless.

His journal says he's looking for "honest lady from europ for marraige." Do you think he really means *from* Europe or is European descent enough?

'Cause if it's descent as opposed to residency, then I've *got* to turn this guy on to Some Woman. She's hot. And the guy she's with now is lame, judging from his /. posts. Don't you think she'd be interested in "engineer" who "run many bissness"?!

Yeah, baby. I think I see a match made in /. Heaven!!

That's not fair!

[NaveWeiss]

Why nobody bothers to set me up?

Re:That's not fair!

[Surak]

Ummm...somehow I don't think she's being serious, dude.

Re:That's not fair!

[NaveWeiss]

I know that. But I was expressing general frustration.. people are setting up other people all around me but they keep overlooking me.

And after that the ones who got set up come up with declarations such as "This is the last time I go out with someone my aunt sets me up!".. wouldn't this make you cry? It surely makes me. :~(

Re:That's not fair!

[Surak]

No. The best thing you can do is look at it this way: you will find the right person for you, but not before *you* are ready to do so yourself.

You may be sitting there thinking "Boy, am I *ever* ready," but look at your own personal life. How would another person fit into it? Do you have time for another person? If not, do you feel you could make time?

How centered are you? Are you accomplishing goals you set out for yourself (other than relationship goals)? Are you comfortable with your personal ap

Re:That's not fair!

[bethanie]

You're not ready for a relationship until you can say to yourself "I am perfectly fine with me, my life, and my circumstances *with* or *without* someone else in mine life."

I disagree with this. It might be a nice ideal, but I don't think it's necessary. And I'll go even further and say that unless you feel like you have a place in your life that just doesn't feel complete without another person, then you *aren't* ready for a relationship.

I hadn't realized any of this before I met Hubby and got married

I think you misunderstand what I'm saying somewhat. It's okay to

Re:That's not fair!

[bethanie]

Yes, that makes a lot of sense.)

But I'll tell you what -- if I had waited until I was at that point, I never would have met anyone. It would have been too difficult to dig myself out of the self-worth deficit that my childhood & adolescence had gotten me into. It took the love, acceptance, and approval of a man to make the difference.

Personally, I'm happy just being self-aware enough to realize that fact! :-)

....Bethanie....

Re:That's not fair!

[Some Woman]

Well, I for one think we should set NaveWeiss up with this lovely specimen #704466.

Happy now? =0)

Re:That's not fair!

[bethanie]

Fine, except that I don't think either of them is gay.

I *could* be wrong, though.

Nave? Would you be willing to experiment, sweetheart?

....Bethanie....

Re:That's not fair!

[NaveWeiss]

You know, I just had today that strange dream. A very lovely Russian girl visited my room, but then I saw she had a very big dick - and she told me that she had a different dick once but it was cut..

And I had that dream before I read all the comments here. Scary.

Re:That's not fair!

[buffer-overflowed]

Here [brides.ru] ya go [google.com]. Happier now?

Sounds like a spoof.

[GMontag]

Sounds/looks like an over-the-top spoof of a central asian (that "superior society" I keep hearing about from Liberal Arts folk, but it is invisible otherwise). Applying the Montag Test: no accurate thought may be expressed on a keyboard with more written errors than would be generated by me.

Now about Some Woman [slashdot.org]>, she is certified hot?

Re:Sounds like a spoof.

[Surak]

She's not bad [marotti.com], IMHO. She has a very nice smile.

Re:Sounds like a spoof.

[GMontag]

[Neo voice]WHOA![/Neo voice]

Mentally AND physically hot! Yummy! I love her comment about the number of (different) uniforms in a Sailor's locker too.

Now, if she can pass the patented Montag miniskirt/heels test (look hot AND still come across as a lady), well, she will have way too much kryptonite-like power over me.

Re:Sounds like a spoof.

[Surak]

Well, she *does* have a boyfriend, I do believe.

Re:Sounds like a spoof.

[GMontag]

Is he a real boyfriend or just dating her so he can secretly study interior decoration and romance laguages while working his roofing job?

Re:Sounds like a spoof.

[Surak]

Why are you asking me? Like I know anything about Some Woman other than the fact that she attends the University of Minnesota, she's in some kinda sorority thing for women in engineering fields (or something like that), and that she has a boyfriend. And apparently there was some incident with vodka spitting that the Pope still refuses to comment about.

Re:Sounds like a spoof.

[subgeek]

let's also not forget that she sometimes leaves the lights on [slashdot.org]. though she probably draws the curtains now.

Re:Sounds like a spoof.

[Surak]

I hadn't forgotten that, but ummm...I was trying to be somewhat nice to Some Woman by NOT pointing that out. ;)

Re:Sounds like a spoof.

[Some Woman]

They're never open now, thankyouverymuch. :)

Re:Sounds like a spoof.

[subgeek]

hopefully you can look look back and laugh by now. (the rest of us have been, so you might as well too).

Re:Sounds like a spoof.

[TechnoLust]

Why are you asking me?
Probably because you are THE go-to guy for hot juicy slashdot gossip. :-)

Oh, and you're good enough, you're smart enough, and dog-gone it! people like you.

Re:Sounds like a spoof.

[Surak]

well, there ARE the rumours about SW and Bethanie. I won't talk about the rumours about SW and someone else, because she'll hit me with a brick again... ;)

Well it's the only good film he did wasn't it.

Re:Sounds like a spoof.

Dude! No way!

Dude! No way!

Excellent! /me plays air guitar

Re:Sounds like a spoof.

[baldass_newbie]

Well, the committee has been kind of backed up with requests certifying the Eagles Cheerleaders [philadelphiaeagles.com] as 'hot'. More on one member's experiences here [go.com].

Re:Sounds like a spoof.

[gmhowell]

What was staggering was the number of engineers and engineering students who are on that roster.

Well, that and the nice boobies.

Thanks for the thought...

[Some Woman]

But I so already have a back-up in mind. I'm not much into Trolls anyway, just green-eyed sailors. ;)

(oopsie...did I say that out loud?)

Hey, babe. I'm just keepin' an eye out for ya! ;-)

How 'bout a brown-eyed ex-sailor? Could be a bit difficult, though, with me being married and all ;)

A colored contacts ok?
Is part time army close enough?

Re:Thanks for the thought...

Nope sorry.

Been there done that. :)

Re:Thanks for the thought...

[Red Warrior]

I beg to disagree.
Having seen your picture, I'm SURE I would have remembered you. Heck, I would have even gotten your name ("some woman") correct!

[bethanie]

So, Sol, are you saying you're on the market? You want engineer who run many bissness?

No, I didn't think so.

Still, we'll see what we can do to hook you up. Unfortunately, so many of the good ones around here are already spoken for...

Oh... waitaminnit... There *is* someone who's single...

Hmmm... It *just* might work!

....Bethanie....

Re:*sigh*

[subgeek]

i've got "s" how about a/l? i'm taken, but i have single friends.

elephant jokes? like the how can you tell if n elephants are in your refridgerator series? like the how do you kill a red (blue) elephant? stupid jokes, but for some reason i always laugh.

Re:i wasn't expecting responses! cool! (i think)

[bethanie]

You gotta uncheck that "Anonymous" box, sol!

Why did the elephant step on the marshmallow? (That's one of my mom's favorites.)

Mine is: Why did the frog cross the road?

Sol, dear, I believe that your age & location are fairly public record, since you've revealed them in your JEs. Let the interested parties root them out for themselves, or ask you directly. As for retraction -- I don't think so. It won't hurt if you get a little nibble now and again. At the very least, it's an ego boost, ya know? :-)

so it wouldn't falll in the hot chocolate???

[SolemnDragon]

i think my favourite is, "What's grey and goes around and around and around and around???"

a long-playing elephant... it's made more barbaric by the fact that kids don't all know what LPs are anymore...

Re:so it wouldn't falll in the hot chocolate???

[bethanie]

Oh - you've heard it. :-(

LP Elephant. That's good.

My favorite (with punchline):

Q: Why did the frog cross the road?
A: Because he was stapled to the chicken!!

That one just *cracks* me up.

Guess I'm one sick puppy, ain't I?

....Bethanie....

Re:so it wouldn't falll in the hot chocolate???

[mgessner]

My wife and I, for some reason, started the same series of jokes... but they went on and on...

chicken, squirrel, frog, cricket, etc

Sick sick sick :)

So, Bethanie...

[dubiousdave]

How often do you search slashdot for engineers seeking women?

Re:So, Bethanie...

[buffer-overflowed]

I'd think it'd be easier to keep track of the taken ones.

Re:So, Bethanie...

[bethanie]

Tsk tsk, Davie-poo.

Didn't do your homework, did you?

This guy's *only* post was a reply to me in RedWarrior's journal. Of course, I had to check him out, and hence, my JE.

So, in answer to your question: Never. They come looking for me!! ;-)

....Bethanie....

Re:So, Bethanie...

[dubiousdave]

"So, in answer to your question: Never. They come looking for me!! ;-)"

Sorry, beautiful. That makes more sense. The jealousy just went straight to my head. I was thinking "Aren't Surak and I (and maybe a few other men -- Oh, and Hubby) enough for you?" I failed to note the context.

priceless... You have your hands full with those two girls.

Has Kiddo asked for a pony yet? She looked like she was enjoying it. Of course, it wasn't on fire. ;-)

Re:So, Bethanie...

[bethanie]

I can answer that one!

NO PONIES!!

(NO large animal vet bills!!!)

Momma don't like horses, so NO HORSE FOR YOU! (I'm the horse nazi).

....Bethanie....

I wondered what that was.

[spumoni_fettuccini]

Saw the JE [about 1/2 way through my /. messeges] and wondered about it, but didn't check the guy out. I vote trolloser!
