"Friend" are many of my lovies…

Friend: what did you two do?
RedDiva2ooo: he took me to a great restaurant, then we walked around, ended up at Pastis, held hands walking there.  It was very innocent, but very intimate
Friend: sounds perf
RedDiva2ooo: he said, “Stephanie you once told me if I was going to hold your hand, I have to HOLD it.  I never forgot that.”
Friend: love him!!!
Friend: love that he loves you
RedDiva2ooo: I hate how I turn into some caged animal at the zoo when I like someone. God, dating is so much easier when I don’t like anyone.  I’m terrified of being hurt again.
Friend: if I start spending more time with Graham I’m going to need some coaching.
RedDiva2ooo: you need a therapist, you really should consider it.  I know it’s all happy excitement now, but you need someone there to make sure you don’t sabotage things… subliminally or let things happen too fast, etc. 
Friend: I know.
RedDiva2ooo: Didn’t mean to sound harsh; I think I’m projecting.  I refuse to do the crash and burn again.  I need  more flame-retardant items in my life.  Know where I can get some?
Friend: The hardware store has everything

RedDiva2ooo: I have issues
Friend: What now?
RedDiva2ooo: I’m in “like”
Friend: You should invite him to the party
RedDiva2ooo: <– has issues
RedDiva2ooo: I swear, when I like someone, I’m like a bug stuck in a jar.
Friend: Do you still talk to Paul?
RedDiva2ooo: ugh.  Where did that come from?
Friend: I was just thinking about your men, and I thought of him and wondered if he was still in the pic.
RedDiva2ooo: He’s ew.  I hear his voice in my head sometimes.  I hate his voice, his walk, everything.
Friend: hilar!!!
RedDiva2ooo: so no.  I don’t like him.  Not in pic.
Friend: did you ever have s with him?
RedDiva2ooo: no, thank god.  We only fooled around once.
Friend: huh?
RedDiva2ooo: and he j’d off into my face
Friend: ewww
RedDiva2ooo: yuh
Friend: how did that happen?

Friend: Question.
RedDiva2ooo: Answer.
Friend: what’s up with argyle?  Still in?  Going out?  Always here to stay?
RedDiva2ooo: I love it, always have, especially in the fall.  I think that school boy stuff can be worn with torn jeans and made funky.
Friend: There’s a sweater I want to buy, but I have no torso.  J. Crew is improving, less pilling, something about where they’re getting their materials.
Friend: I’m not myself.  It’s hormones, so I just deal.
RedDiva2ooo: Yeah, I totally hear ya
Friend: it will get worse before it gets better, then I’ll be back to moi
RedDiva2ooo: at least you have an excuse, you know pregnant and all.  I cry at previews.

Friend: where you at, dog?
RedDiva2ooo: wut up?
Friend: excited for tonight?
RedDiva2ooo: *yes*
RedDiva2ooo: this weather kills me though, ‘cause how can I wear cute shoes?
Friend: wear black high heel boots—if I can do it, you can.
RedDiva2ooo: I need a new pair.  Mine aren’t high enough.
Friend: stuart wietzman, baby. The BESTEST.
RedDiva2ooo: high?
Friend: yeah, like 3 inches.  They make all heights.  What size shoe are you?
RedDiva2ooo: 8.5.  I will go buy a pair.  I need (read: want) them.
Friend: go to Bloomies or Saks; they have them at both.
RedDiva2ooo: I have a pair I think I can wear with my leather skirt and cashmere turtleneck
Friend: your leather skirt is perf
RedDiva2ooo: he is so yum.  I need to be touchable.  It’s all about the shmere.
Friend: yay, fun.  Yum is the best.
RedDiva2ooo: we’re doing sushi.  Do you think I can just suggest we eat at the bar?
Friend: it is not very classy, in my opinion, to eat at the bar on a formal kind of date.
RedDiva2ooo: Linen scares me.  It makes things more real.

RedDiva2ooo: You know that song, “steal my sunshine?”
Friend: yeah
RedDiva2ooo: That’s how I feel right now.
Friend: why?
RedDiva2ooo: “I know it’s up for me, If you steal my sunshine, Making sure I’m not in too deep, If you steal my sunshine, Keeping versed and on my feet”
RedDiva2ooo: I heard it in a cab today.  It’s basically my life. 

Friend: I LIKE HIM SO MUCH.  I HATE IT AND I LOVE IT!
RedDiva2ooo: yeah, I hear ya. 

Friend: Crooked hat boy called me last night, left a sweet message.  I actually want to talk with him, catch up.  I will NEVER touch him again, don’t worry.
RedDiva2ooo: (insert Stephanie making finger down throat move here)
Friend: I can see it!
RedDiva2ooo: my jap and a half friend is in town.  She might join us tonight.  What are you wearing?
Friend: jeans, a hot funky belt, a white wife-beater tank, maybe my green cropped jacket.  I’m going with a "funky jeans look."  You?
RedDiva2ooo: game time decision.  Can I just say, I love this.  I love being girls.
Friend: me too, cookie.  We’re good at it.

RedDiva2ooo: She’s a freak.
Friend: He should peace her out, as in, “peace out”
RedDiva2ooo: She’s two-faced and emails me from different accounts pretending to be different people.  Why are some people so cowardly?  I don’t get it.
Friend: funny how cowards can have nerve
RedDiva2ooo: I used to think two-faced meant fat.  A girl called me that when I was growing up, and I thought she meant two-faced, as in, "double chin."  I remember wanting to pull out her hair at that moment.  This poor girl gives new meaning to the word.  She’s beyond two-faced.  Her personality is obese.  She’s such a railroad. 

Friend: After any long relationship, anyone is going to be a pain in the butt
RedDiva2ooo: Yeah, I agree, but you compromise in anything.  With some people, because you are alike, it takes less compromise.  If two people want something, they both bend; I just think some relationships are easier than others. 
Friend: when u get married again will u have a real wedding?
RedDiva2ooo: who knows.  I’ll see how I feel then.  I have no clue.
Friend: come on, don’t u want it?
RedDiva2ooo: not really
Friend: I do
RedDiva2ooo: The only thing I might want is a wine food tasting thing on a vineyard, something casual where we all get drunk.  Not some sat. night affair with dresses and a band.  Yick.
Friend: sounds loverly.  In the hamptons, perhaps…
RedDiva2ooo: it never felt appealing to me
Friend: fine, then don’t come to mine, biotch

Friend: have you had seex with D, I forget
RedDiva2ooo: no, remember
Friend: will you tonight?
RedDiva2ooo: he j’d remember?
Friend: right!!!
RedDiva2ooo: and said he couldn’t look at me or he’d C
Friend: rye-dic
RedDiva2ooo: I love us.
Friend: me too.
