ObAngst: My girlfriend claims to have *zero* angst. I wonder how this can be

although i agree completely with the original point being made (that
meechshouldn't cut his hair; long hair on guys is awesome), i kinda
disagree with the above minro detail.

there's nothing wrong with two people just having sex because both of
them feel like it *as long as* both people are aware that that's all
that's going on (and everyone plays safe). picking up someone for a
fuck is fine, so long as it's perfectly clear to both people that it's
just a fuck. i went through a promiscuous phase a couple years ago,
and i've never really thought of myself as a waste of human flesh. it
was just what i wanted to be doing at the time. i got bored with it,
so i stopped. <shrug>

and i don't think cutting his hair would mean he's a shallow person
just looking to get laid, either. it just prolly wouldn't work 'cause
he'd be pretneding to be something he's not. raising false
expectations and all that sort of thing.

the obvious solution is for meech to move somewhere like austin, where
about half the guys have long hair and no one notices that sort of
thing anymore. besides, it's just a coolplace to be. <grin>

Perhaps in view of my recent ranting about the state of the state
of TN, I ought to expostulate somewhat.  I think it probably is true
that I don't belong here.  I did spend most of my life living
in a big cosmopolitan city, so TN is definitely a big change for me.
Perhaps people are not so well-educated as elsewhere, and perhaps
they are not strongly motivated to pursue the same sort of
goals as I am.  

But it is also true that TN is not the TN of Buford Pusser days,
if y'all remember Walking Tall.  There are vast numbers of 
rednecks out there, but there are a few PLMs (People Like Me)
perhaps not as many, but some.  I gather from talking to people
that ten years ago, Knoxville was a pretty dead place.  But now,
in the Old City there is a small area of clubs (a block or two)
where none was before.  Maybe you have to work real hard to 
find Nick Cave CDs, and maybe you won't be able to find a
copy of The Village Voice, and maybe you won't be able to
find a good bookstore. But it can't possibly be like it was
only 10 years ago.  Hey, Knoxville even has a Sushi bar now,
only one, although it doesn't have an Indian Restaurant.  There are
alot of things lacking, but things have been apparently constantly
changing for the better.  Maybe not fast enough for someone used
to more.

But the other point that I would like to make is that as bad as
things may seem, is it really better to rant and rave rather
than apply some more constructive approach?  Constant bitching
can alienate people, and who needs to lose friends (if one
actually has any)?  Plus, constant Negative Nattering can enhance
one's state of Negativity, make a bad situation worse.  I mean,
instead of bitching about Oak Ridge, I could be looking intensively
for another job, and although I am doing that, I am not really
putting a huge effort into it.  So I am accepting my unhappy existence
in TN, rather than doing anything about it.

Of course, by claiming that being cynical, and negative is not
necessarily good, I leave myself exposed to the flagellation of
other readers of this newsgroup.  Verily, I am sure I will receive
a sound thwacking.  

C'mon, slug me, beat me, lest I reprogram myself into becoming a
beaming blissful optimist!!!!  Stop me, before it is too late!!!!

Bzzzt! Next contestant pleeeze!

You forgot that *IMPERIAL* quarts/pints are 15% bigger than *US* quarts.

Put simply:   1 US gallon = 3.9 litres ( roughly )
              1 Imp gallon = 4.5 litres (again, roughly)

I think Alex has a perfect right to bitch about this sort of thing.

Of course in New Zealand, our pint bottles became 600ml bottles - a net   
gain of around 40ml for the same price. ( This happened 18 years ago, 
when we metricated. )

Okay, you're right and I do apologize, she's not a bowhead if she's depressed.
Especially if she is a drama student. Having dated more than a few drama 
students I can tell you that depression is a naturally tenable state for her
to be in and it is not likely to change. On the plus side she is probably quite
intelligent and horribly good-looking.

certainly it scares the deltas. they are socially inept enough as it is, and 
believe that a woman's looks are the most important thing about her.
of course this applies to only the deltas around here, and not the ones

see? i get the deltas with no interest in a woman's mind, and you get the

Insomnia angst - I love those times at 2 in the morning when you
wonder if you will ever fall asleep again. Of course by 4am you know
you never will. Then just as you realize you have to get up in
