(no subject)

Another things about blogs: Even worse than reading about someone's trivial experiences is reading them bitch about them. It's a duty only one of your friends should be subjected to at a time, and then only in moderation. But if I don't type something, I'll just fall asleep.

Why? Because of the previously-mentioned DUMBASSES in my building. At four-thirty, I was awakened by loud talking coming in through the better-than-AC open window. I tried to ignore it for about half-an-hour before giving up and asking the guys to keep it down. They agreed, but by the time I was back to my bed, they were not only as loud as before, they were openly mocking me. People are so gross.

This is what makes a co-worker's comment from last week so inexplicable. She was shocked to discover how friggin' OLD my boyfriend is. "I always imagined you with a 17 or 18 year-old." Huh? Why would anyone date an 18 year-old guy? (I mean, except a 16 year-old for whom he was so mature.) Even when I was one, I couldn't stand them. Intense insecurity (usually expressed as overweening arrogance) coupled with utter disregard for others and a complete lack of interesting things to say. Bleeagh!!

Yeah, yeah, there's the sex thing. A comedienne once said, "People are always talking about how old people are better in bed because they can last. But who wants to have sex with somebody old for a long time?" By the same token, who wants to have a lot of sex with someone immature? (No, I wasn't asking for a show of hands!) More importantly, that still leaves a lot of time when you're not having sex. Tricking I can see--you can always abscond before the pillow talk--but why buy the loaf?

Clarificatio

My co-worker was much agitated to read the previous entry and wishes it to be known that she was not "shocked" at my boyfriend's age, merely surprised. "I know things like that go on. I'm not stoopid." (Or, to paraphrase a French author--because I can't remember the correct cite and I don't want to wait until I have a chance to ask the Great White One to post, but once I do, I'll edit this entry to make it seem like I knew all along--one shouldn't be shocked by anything people do, since one should realise that there is nothing under the sun that people haven't tried. However, it's proper to be scandalised at the circumstances under which something is done.) She also claims that she was "joking" about my dating a teenager and, actually, had pictured me with "someone in the 25-35 range". Hah! Likely story, but there are no take-backs--especially once I've staked an entry on the original version.
