despicable human tricks

[plural]

spent two hours
cleaning my house
and doing assorted things

it was fun
no
really
it was a goodness

got more to do
of the assorted stuff anyway

but am making progress

on
a related note

how long is too long
not to have furniture?

or better stated
how long can I get away with
the just moved here
haven't had a chance to buy any yet
excuse

cause I really have not been in the mood
to go furniture shopping

but have no furniture

actually
that isn't exactly true

I have the following furniture

a bed
a nightstand
a folding chair
a beach style chair
a wine rack
a dvd rack
a card table [for me puter]
a magazine rack
and a lamp

hell if I put it all in one room
it
would almost seem adequate

and in other furniture related news
[if you ask how it is related]
[you have missed the point]

I met a girl today
well that isn't true
I met her a while back
and have talked with her for a few minutes
on a couple of occasions
but
never have really paid
any attention to the words
coming out of her mouth

and
actually
I didn't really talk to her today
other than
to compliment her pants
[they were groovy]
and
nod sagely while she bragged
that they were wrinkle free
just out of the dryer
they have a perma crease
see

anyway
a strange thing has happened recently
all over campus
I see these hot little coeds
but I have no interest in any of them

I stare at their tits when they talk to me
not because I am all that interested in their tits
rather they don't get nearly as offended when
they realize I haven't listened to a word they said

not that they still don't get offended
it is just for a more flattering reason
I suppose

anyways back to those pants

I liked em

and for some reason decided
I was interested in what was in em
after all

so
I am thinking
I may just have to
actually listen some
the next time she talks to me

speaking of which
listening and not listening
that is

if a woman asks if you are listening
never lie and say yes
they can actually tell the things
and yes it is a lie
you might have thought you were listening
but trust me
after the first couple of minutes you weren't

you see
your mind starts wandering
after that tone comes into the conversation
what tone? there is a tone that women get
when they are going to talk forever
and never shut up
men are trained to tune out
any words said in that tone
we can try to listen
but it is hopeless task

so in the future
be polite and stare at her tits
when your mind starts to wander
then
when she asks you if you are listening to her
be honest and say no

Can't you just go online and pick out some furniture, have it delivered and be done with it?

hmm

[plural.livejournal.com]

not a bad idea

say do you know anyplace
that sells decent hardwood furniture
on the web?

I cant stand presswood/plywood or most veneers for that matter, which makes furniture shopping a pain in the ass in the modern times

i guess if everyone was as honest as you we´d think a lot more of men...i am going to have to print this post and email to some of the guys i work with!!

always glad to be of service

although
I have to admit
I was somewhat surprised
at the reaction
but
I suppose I should have expected it

My house would be about as furnished as yours if not for things I've picked up that college students have thrown away as they move. I knew I wouldn't be living here long enough for any serious furniture (too much of a pain in the ass to move it, and just too expensive to throw away - though the latter didn't seem to bother a lot of people - I have some awesome trash pickings including a solid pine dresser w/ huge mirror and matching nightstand, a 20" tv, linux box, etc)

IMO, as long as you are comfortable in your home, and not wandering around every day tossing your mail where there should be a table or lounging on the floor where there perhaps should be a couch, go with it. I think a lot of people miss the point completely when it comes to their homes. They want it to be presentable and accomodating to other people - not to themselves.

As far as internet-accessable furniture, Design Within Reach (http://www.designwithinreach.com) has some neat stuff.

yeah
I tend to furnish
based on my own needs and wants
but
there is a modicum level
of furniture which I suppose
can reasonably be expected of a host

a place to sit down for example

The critical things I need
are the following

Dining room table and chairs
Sofa
Coffee table

it is just sort of a minimum
to inviting people over to your house

I will check out that place
thanks much

Ok one more time. LJ having server problems or something. I ended up there after following a maze of users and entries. It was in someone's "memories" list. Thanks for adding me:)
