Welcome to the Couch! People of PC Psychotherapy (Part 2)

Their ignorance about Monty Python was a contributing factor to my leaving the Bad Group.

One of my first days at my first real job, I had lunch with some colleagues, all of whom were at least 20 years older than me. "What did you have?", somebody asked me. "The rabbit stew", I responded (in Swedish), and then, in English, "Death awaits you all with nasty big pointed teeth!"

Not one of them got the reference. I so wished for the floor to swallow me up.

Aha! someone ELSE who always ends up at the noisy table at lunch! mi compadre! (how do you say "my countryman" in swedish?)

...just want to say out loud...I had T today and I am soo soo soo soo soo soo soo soo soo glad I listened to everyone and found a new T. Thats it...

*now back to your regularly scheduled programming"

Oh like YOU don't know I was quoting Aristotle (i didn't!)

"One swallow does not make a summer, neither does one fine day; similarly one day or brief time of happiness does not make a person entirely happy."

Aristotle, Monty Python and Gilda Radner - quite the random association. Ink blots anyone?

LC - glad you still like new t.

Literally "min landsman", but I'd say "min frände" in this context.

well, this repartee is educational, er, sort of, I guess .... since I never watched any of those movies and really didn't even want to! but maybe they'd be good for some comic relief when life pisses me off.

But Hankster's swallow reference was before the Monty Python sequence.

Hankster's post lead to my free swallow associating and sharing herewith which led to much monty python and little saturday night live.

...an stopdog was like, seen one man, seen 'em all. my T brought in the old Senator GOLDWATER joke (about which half of him was Jewish, top or bottom) when I told him the dog stayed for only half the male T session. He did not have to explain to me what he meant, as this is our version of paraphilias.

Well I am a lesbian...

Can't we all just get along? Okay, maybe not ALL... but SOME boys are okay, aren't they? I think this T is okay. Prev t/pdoc, not. And I liked my grad pdoc very very much - he was quite a brilliant young man, from an abusive background. I think that's what makes the difference for me, how/IF they overcame their early challenges, and what they say about it today.

Yes -men are fine. I have nothing against them, but they are very different for me to deal with. I have nothing against them and I do have male friends. But on some level it is like seen one seen them all for me. I am not saying that it is this way for everyone else ( I do know other women who are like me but we are not radical lesbian separatists or anything).

I'm bi, stopdog, and usually gravitate more to women sexually. However, I find men very easy to deal with. They aren't very complicated. I think I'm attracted to my H more for the fact that he is a bit different than most men in that he likes to talk and we have good intellectual discourse.

Plus, he's a blooming teddy bear. I wouldn't want a male T either.

Ugh I have session tmr morning after a 2 week break due to T being away. I'm already feeling sick. I sent a few emails (One while a bit intoxicated) that I'm not happy about plus I went on a bit of a bender over the weekend. Should make for an interesting time.

He sounds a lot like me.
Is he staying awake at work?

So far, so good. Although he became aware yesterday of the swiftness of karma...I wish I could tell the story as well as H can.

One of his coworkers lives a street over from us and they get along really well. Well, yesterday, she ordered a salad from a nearby restaurant with French dressing on the side. When the delivery came, she got her salad and poured the dressing on it and began to eat. In the middle of the 911 center, she jumps up and says, "What in the HELL is wrong with this salad????!!! The dressing is HOT!!!! Come to find out, they sent Tabasco sauce instead of French dressing. She called the place and blessed them out and they brought over another salad with the correct dressing. Of course, H had a field day with this making fun of her.

He got his.

He had made himself a plain turkey sandwich for lunch. He thought some lettuce would make a nice addition. So he asked the coworker for some of the lettuce from the Tabasco salad. He said, "How bad can it be? I like spicy stuff. I'll wipe most of it off." So he did and put it on the sandwich and ate it. He finished and thought, "Not so bad." 20 minutes later, as he described it, "My stomach suddenly caught fire. It quickly moved through my intestines. It came out my @$$, through my pants, through the chair, and set the floor on fire. I called for personal service because I HAD TO S**T. It took my relief 15 minutes to get to me. I sat in that chair doing my best Mount Vesuvius impression trying not to s**t myself. I ran to the bathroom; in the doorway was a puddle. I slipped and twisted my ankle and knee. I didn't care...I HAD TO S**T. It felt like pure fire poured from my @$$. I pulled myself together, flushed, and went back to work. At the end of the shift, I got up from the chair and almost fell down because the injured leg had gone to sleep. I figured I'd walk it off going to the car. I drove to the store (near our house) to pick up dog food. When I got out of the car, I felt much better, went in, got the dog food, exited the store, and HOLY F**KING S**T my knee started to hurt again. While I was in the store, someone came and moved my car because it took four times as long to get back to the car. Now I'm home and I'm not really in a good mood."

His coworker gave him hell and said he got what he deserved. His BFF and I :ROFL: ROFL: when he told us this. Poor guy spent half the night in the bathroom. He fell asleep on the toilet and dropped his book!

Him liking to talk makes him different from other men? I am starting to wonder if the guys I know are actually men, then.

boys have cooties

morning just blackberry mojito tea thins morning and maybe egg beaters in a bit not very hungry.kind of confused about this T stuff going on . don;t know a word for this feeling and experiences. don't know if it is good, bad or what.I'm confused and nervous.trying to keep the attitude it is what it needs to be right now and that is OK but i don't know what it is.i know confusing and strange but that is it.not trusting it at all.

Most of the men I know won't shut up.

I'm feeling out of sorts today. Cranky, sad, blah. I see T in half an hour. I'm not looking forward to it.

and it's boring, right? me me me me me! maybe that's why T got me interested in sports - men have become more interesting since I know what they're talking about and have some personal connection to it.

Woo...I think what I said didn't come out right!

Men can be talkative, but they tend to be focused on themselves or one or two topics of interest to them (at least most of the men I know are this way).

My H will talk about anything. A couple of weeks ago, he initiated a conversation with me about our best couple friends and why we all get along so very well based on what element (earth, fire, air, water) our personalities seem to correspond to.

Busy at work today. Whew...lot of stuff happening at once. The guys who built our website decided to let me become a full admin (so I would be able to change anything I want ). In the middle of fundraising letters and policies. He told me to write a policy and add it into the manual as I work on it. My former boss didn't let anyone else write policy and if one little word changed, she called the head of our BOD to approve it.

I see T today. I'm still apprehensive.

Lola...I'm wearing "our" dress!
