we got the beat

[lauralh]

So yeah, I watched Sex and the City after the racist show, and that was amusing. It's probably the only show I've ever watched on television where they talk about how kids suck. Even Miranda was like "I only like my kid." I really liked the bit where Carrie was saying that it's unfair that singles don't ever get presents, yet are expected to gladly buy stuff for weddings/showers/etc. "What if I never get married? What then?"

Afterwards I headed out to Chop Suey because, well, Jerry Abstract was spinning and I love his stuff. I mainly just wanted to sit in a place with really loud music and let it drown out my thoughts, but then I saw a few people I knew. I think one of them was flirting with me but I wasn't in the mood. Nonetheless it was nice. I was mostly staring at this one cute guy whom I couldn't tell if he was gay or straight. I mean he was sort of dancing with this chick but in a weird non-touching way. It's so hard to tell if people are dating in this town when they never, like, touch each other. Of course the Romanians practically make out with me in public so there you go.

So then I was about to leave, as it was getting late, and I like sleep, when I saw Steve and Kaylan walking up the street. So I flirted a bit with the flyer guy, then went back in for a drink. They were both a little out of it due to alcohol, which meant free drink for me. And then after that (and a spot of back massage) I went out, flirted a bit more with the flyer guy, then drove home. And now I'm late to work and drinking a double latte.

So, random question: You see some guy, and you think "okay, I'm going to flirt with this person," and do... what exactly? Or is it even a conscious thing?

I don't understand the concept of flirting at all. I've been told that I do it all the time though, unconsciously. But I don't think I have any idea when I'm being flirted with.

I pretty much call any talking I do to the opposite sex (and vice versa) flirting, but only if I find them attractive (or vice versa). Beyond that I don't really know either. I mean, flyer-boy was cute, so I went out of my way to chat him up a couple of times, trying to get him to come out to Boudoir and all that. So, um, yeah, if someone casually asks to meet you again, that's probably flirting.

There's a whole art to it, which I'm only capable of while drunk, though.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Margie says I talk to everyone exactly the same and don't know how to flirt, which is true. But I don't understand how to put on this sort of ditzy sexy persona- that's NOT me at all. Flirting the way most women see it (not you necessarily) seems to me to be just acting dumb to get attention.

Is that the art part?

really i have no clue, but

I think the sexy part is more important. Also making fun of whatever the guy holds dear to his heart.

I have bought so many random useless shower/wedding gifts in the past 2 months.

There was no point to this comment, I guess. I just agree with Carrie.

I know, and the only people who buy me birthday presents are my parents (terrible taste), my boyfriends (who don't exist right now) and maybe my 2-3 best friends. Everyone else, it's packs of smokes and PBR's. Not that I don't highly appreciate those but it's not the same as the lovely cocktail shaker sets I usually get for my married friends.

Plus even married people have birthdays so it's unfair.

Carrie ended up registering at the shoe store and "married herself."

martinis (x2) from Marcus' will do that to a person.

That had to be one of my favorite episodes simply because the whole thing regarding kids and marriage
