LIVEJournal NEW Spring 2004

For more current writings and information on what I am up to look at my LIVEJournal. I will just update this whenever I think something is worth keeping.

Written in response to invitation to a Tribe about crushes… 3/04

So here is my crush story; Years ago I was getting ready to go on stage to do some Cheese & Pants Theater, when I was introduced to a lovely lady by a mutual friend who was also performing that night. I was immediately smitten, but was unable to talk to her that night and did not see her again for many months, by that time we were both in relationships and we would run into each other at odd and inconvenient times. This only increased my crush on this mysterious cutie. Can you have a crush someone and still be in love with another? I think so.. Years past and we just never seemed to meet up at the right time and place in our lives, until one New Years Eve, we were briefly at the same party and scheduled a date for the following day. Over an interesting lunch I was happy to hear she had been harboring a crush on me since our first meeting also. ‘Love’ at first sight? Well we did hit it off very well and had many fantastic times together. What happened you ask? Well, she finished her Veterinary license and wanted to move out to the country and practice, I wanted to stay in town, and unfortunately I have allergies to dogs and cats. At least we are still good friends..

Good luck to everyone who has a crush, sometimes it can be good, but timing is everything.

Saving someone’s feelings 4/03

Here is a question for you, we have been bantering it around at work.

Is it better to: ‘save someone’s feelings’ by not telling them something, when it is quite possible the will be the ‘last to know’ and upset them even more when they find out, because they feel betrayed and angry, or to tell them sooner and potentially have to deal with the persons negative feelings in brutally honest way?

Is it lying to ‘save someone’s feelings’ by not telling them something, and then, is it also likely that you are not comfortable with what ever you are not telling them and possibly its not the best thing for you to be doing?

Seems to make sense when you are doing it, but it also always seems to backfire… I find that the truth hurts, but lies hurt even more..
