I often wonder if I've missed out on something by never having any type of relationship that needed to be hidden. Never dated the girl my parents forbid me to see; never had any clandestine meetings with my highschool physics teacher in one of the store rooms; never was with anyone who was attached without the knowledge of their partner; never been with anyone I couldn't be seen with in public.
Sure there have of course been times where I've had to "Keep quiet, my parents' bedroom is just down the hall," or, "the caretaker makes his rounds soon, so let's be quick," or, whispered in my ear at my graduation dinner, "try to keep a straight face when you come," while a delicate hand slipped under the purple napkin in my lap. But those are just moments, flashes, brief instances where we were being naughty, and it felt really good. Would a whole relationship of such moments be worth having? I confess that there's a part of me that does find it appealing. Something hot about being the dirty little secret.

I love those brief, naughty moments...
I once dated a girl the parents didn't approve of - unfortunately they were right. It was kind of a minor thrill to piss them off when I was that age, but their vindication was my defeat.
I've decided old friends are worth checking out - if you can't reconnect after a couple of hours - then it's just painful and sad like you say. At that point I find it's best to take the first easy out you can find and go have a drink.
Work bonus turned out to be zero, for all of us. Staff appreciation all right - they appreciate us a lot evidently. Fuckers. I hope they die of syphilis.
There is definitely something to be said for a good game, regardless of team. I can recall being drawn into the last World Series, and an old Indians-Pirates game. As long as it's good, I say keep on watching and be content.
I am an embarrassingly avid Kevin Smith fan. I've seen it all, and own most of it. Clerks animated and not, is far and away my favorite having suffered through a couple customer service jobs in my life. I could waste huge amounts of money in horrible fashion if I bought everything on the viewaskew site that seemed cool. Chasing Amy is a close second - more for the illustration of Banky and Holden's friendship than for the sci-fi lesbian crossover. I really enjoy sending Catholic friends Buddy Christ dashboard statues for Christmas. Unfortunately, something tells me that Jersey Girl may not be up to par. But who knows. I still giggle at moments in Mallrats.
Damn this got long. I'm far too verbose.
Cheers.
