| Danni - July 11, 2001 Fucking women I asked you out to dinner why? because I'm a rape victim and I have to know the person before I do anything with them it hasn't always worked but I need a (false?) sense of security before I truly approach someone I'm not going to go up to a total stranger and say Hi, do me Why? because I don't work that way and because total strangers have done that to me and proceeded to go beyond talking I'd like to talk and know who it is I am entrusting my body to who it is brandishing the whip call it formal but I need to know if you care there's another human being with you I called several times to make sure the dinner was on to get clarification and you weren't home and so I left a message and you never called back I am one who knows others who never get messages sue me for giving you attention (remember, you had talked of having a dry spell, I was trying to make it moist) and I stopped calling I got that message yes, I kept on showing up at the bar but notice how I didn't approach you and yet I found out you think I'm being too pushy I stopped calling and I rarely showed up I was nice when I saw you but never dragged on you you had said that if I wanted something I should just tell you imagine the irony you want me to be direct you're not I find out through the grapevine your opinions of me I was under the impression they were warm since you invited me to the barbecue I didn't even bring up plans for the evening you had just said Hey, what are you doing tonight so I come and I stay inside knowing you are outside I am keeping away from you and yet apparently you left because I was too pushy I'm confused so how's this I stay completely away completely I forget about you will this make you happy or will this be something else that's too much |
| Don't - (January 19, 1999) "When you assume you make an out of you and me" this common phrase is one of the best I have encountered, it may be silly-sounding, but it makes a point rather well When I say something that is the one thing I am saying, not something like it DON'T put words in my mouth If I wanted to say that one thing, I would have DON'T think that because I think one thing about something that I automatically fit into a nicely-labelled box of ideas on the subject DON'T assume that I am thinking one thing while saying another What I think is what I think and I give my opinion only when I wish to DON'T give an opinion for me unless I ask you to unless I can't say it myself The only things I am able to keep private are my thoughts when I wish them to be kept private DON'T try to read my mind I'll tell you when I want to not sooner or later |
