Subject: RE: BS: Friendly, But Not Familiar? From: Eluned Date: 24 Mar 00 - 12:29 AM Um, Kelida, if you join the Peace Corp make sure you have all of the shots you can possibly need, and pack your own ro-cal and antibiotics of various sorts, just in case. Americans, Canadians, and many Europeans don't realize how easy we have it disease-wise. |
Subject: RE: BS: Friendly, But Not Familiar? From: Kelida Date: 24 Mar 00 - 12:25 AM My hands are almost definitely permanently stained red from colored pencil dust. The last project I finished (about a week ago) is about to be in an art show at the Taft Museum here in Cincinnati, which is very exciting. I also am working on a piece for a contest at Summerfair, also here in town. Since my art teacher seems determined to grade very arbitrarily (she has all these weird ideas about homework and deadlines... If she ever gave us something worth doing instead of the same sketch 10 different times, I may even do it), my grades are not my strong point, so I guess my artwork should be. Another weird thing is that my hands are now crooked from constant drawing and writing. I think my Summerfair project is going to be one of the illustrations from the comic book I'm working on... |
Subject: RE: BS: Friendly, But Not Familiar? From: Mbo Date: 24 Mar 00 - 12:05 AM Hey cool! We're doing desktop publishing in my Computer aided art class...and for an example we had a brochure from the Cincinnati Art Academy...looks like a nice place! And BTW those reference about the messiness...that's me. Is still have printin ink (Bone Black, #504) under my fingernails, and a stab mark from an X-acto knife I was using to cut matte boards...um, but parents like signs of a hard worker, right? --Mbo |

Subject: RE: BS: Friendly, But Not Familiar? From: Kelida Date: 23 Mar 00 - 11:48 PM It's nice to find someone who knows the feeling. Most of my friends are musician-types or preppy-types (not specific labels, but it is a general description of what people might percieve) and they seem embarrassed to be seen with me sometimes--especially when I'm wearing my favorite jeans: 30" bellbottoms that are covered in white paint from a recent gig painting sets for the student production of "Cheaper By the Dozen" at my school. I love not having to worry about what people think--I just hate the constant request for me to "draw people something" like I have nothing better to do--especially since no one wants to pay. . . I'll probably major in illustration at the Art Academy of Cincinnati, since its so close to home. But I'm going to save so I can go to Europe after I'm out--either that or I'll join the Peace Corps. . .

Subject: RE: BS: Friendly, But Not Familiar? From: Mbo Date: 23 Mar 00 - 11:30 PM Hey Kelida, don't have second thoughts about being an artist, it's great! Yeah, so my major is Graphic Design...a fairly REAL job, but artists get to have more fun that other students! Think...we can look like slobs al the time, and people go "Art students" and they just nod and understand...you can walk around campus covered in sawdust, printing ink, charcoal, smelling like lacquer thinner, getting to wear filthy art stained clothes...what a life! --Mbo |

Subject: RE: BS: Friendly, But Not Familiar? From: Kelida Date: 23 Mar 00 - 11:02 PM Thanks for the compliment, kat, but unfortunately Kelida is not my given name. I'm known by that throughout the 'net, though, so I've grown a bit attached to it--at least as much as I am to my real name. I think that the only thing I've done to horrify my parents is decide to make art my life's work. "It's not a real job. . ." Oh well, as "lazy" as I am, I think a "real job" would be a mistake. . . If nothing else, maybe the band will work out. . . |
Subject: RE: BS: Friendly, But Not Familiar? From: Caitrin Date: 23 Mar 00 - 10:09 PM It would be fairly hard to really horrify my parents. The only thing they've said they really couldn't stand would be if I brought home a stupid person. People who don't like food or music would be frowned upon severely, but not ousted from the house. Luckily for my parents, I tend to like more or less the same types of people they do. And as for tattoos and piercings...I think tattoos are pretty cool, but I have no pain tolerance whatsoever! : ) |

Subject: RE: BS: Friendly, But Not Familiar? From: MK Date: 23 Mar 00 - 01:10 AM I am the oldest of 4 children (2 additional brothers and 1 sister), born Jewish and Bar Mitzvahed. All 3 siblings succombed to the ''guilt'' and married Jewish spouses. All 3 divorced within 2 years of marriage, and remarried Jewish spouses. They are all miserable. I married a Presbyterian. She didn't convert. Neither did I.  19 years later, we're still here. I have her trained to keep the tension on my strings, while restringing one of my guitars, and, how to make cole slaw the way I like it. She has me trained to put the toilet seat back down, and, to know the difference between an enigma and an enima. (The latter took a considerable amount of training.)    8-)

Subject: RE: BS: Friendly, But Not Familiar? From: katlaughing Date: 23 Mar 00 - 12:03 AM Well, despite what Willie-O says, I didn't turn into the dreaded "R" word when my kids passed into teendom; not sure nay of us would've survived. I just was really clear about things; any experimenting they did, they did at home, where I knew they were safe. Besides that, there wasn't much they could do that would shock ole mom and dad, as we'd already done most of it and they knew it.**BG** Kelida, beautiful name. Welcome to the Mudcat. kat |
Subject: RE: BS: Friendly, But Not Familiar? From: Kelida Date: 22 Mar 00 - 11:56 PM Oh, I'm not THAT bad--I SWEAR. I would definitely fail the question of tatoos, peircings, etc. I'm not tatooed or peirced yet, but I turn 18 in October. But I don't do drugs ir drink or smoke--it would cut into my music/art/book budget too much. I'm addicted to more constructive things. |

Subject: RE: BS: Friendly, But Not Familiar? From: Kelida Date: 22 Mar 00 - 11:48 PM I'm so glad I don't date. My dad brought home one of those applications from his work awhile back and swore he would give it to anyone I wanted to date. Even I can't pass those things--I wonder if that means I can't date myself. . . Anyway, the important question is what kind of music a guy likes. |
Subject: RE: BS: Friendly, But Not Familiar? From: Sorcha Date: 22 Mar 00 - 11:38 PM O, Nostalgia!! I used to have to ride to school "bitch" on the back of my dad's 48 Indian Chief, and I was mortified! 'Sides, it's not easy to ride a scooter sidesaddle in a mini skirt carrying a violin case! (ridin bitch is slang for the buddy seat). Willie O, I loved yours, and aint it true? I thought maybe I was the only one who turned into a "R" word when my daughter hit 14. I printed out the applications, and have been giving them to all her male friends (who are not nessicarily her Boyfriend) and she is embarrassed as Hell! (giggle) And her BIG brother gives her more crap about boys and make up than her dad and I do! LOVE IT! |

Subject: RE: BS: Friendly, But Not Familiar? From: Eluned Date: 22 Mar 00 - 09:51 PM The only guy I dated that my mother liked turned out to be a jerk.

I literally had to fight him off of me to the point of almost kicking him in the 'nads. Never told Mom, either.

Subject: RE: BS: Friendly, But Not Familiar? From: Caitrin Date: 22 Mar 00 - 09:28 PM My father hasn't been nearly as bad about boyfriends as my younger brother. There was only one that Dad didn't like (justifiably so, because he was a jerk. My father is a much better judge of character than I am.) Little Brother Charles, on the other hand, begins by hating every boyfriend I have, just on principle. After the initial dates, he may warm to the guy...or he may continue to hang up on said guy every time he calls, just for fun. Dad and Charles both operate on the principle that anyone who hurts me is fair game for physical and psychological torture, though. It's good to know I'm loved, even if they are a little paranoid. |

Subject: RE: BS: Friendly, But Not Familiar? From: katlaughing Date: 22 Mar 00 - 05:44 PM The only transportation my mom and dad had when they got married in the 30's was a Harly with a sidecar. My brother rode around it for the first couple of years of his life. My son-in-law is big, about 6'2" and broad. When he came to take my duaghter out, I, all 5'2" of me, looked him in the eye, grabbed his collar, and, like I did to any of her previous dates, said, "Take care of her, don't try anything, and bring her back on time, or....I will kill you." He was the only one who kept coming back. Now I love him like a son and wouldn't have it any other way. |
Subject: RE: BS: Friendly, But Not Familiar? From: MMario Date: 22 Mar 00 - 05:14 PM kendall - I suspect any grandchild of yours would be superior regardless of the son-in-law, but nice that your genes didn't have to do it all on their own....*grin*

Subject: RE: BS: Friendly, But Not Familiar? From: Amos Date: 22 Mar 00 - 04:29 PM Mbo, I have frequently suggested you grow your hair long and take up riding a Harley. I never thought you should do so just to rebel, but because I love you and want you to have the untrammeled joy of having an open road at your feet and a loving lady at your back (I mean on the Harley, dummy!). Sometimes being in love with the joy of life is too much for the middle of the road sort of person to stand, and it may make you look like a rebel, but in your case, it would just make you seem vivid and poetic. Now, I understand if you can't see your way into transforming yourself into a Harley rider overnight, and, if that is the case, I recommend a 1947 Indian, or a Ducati Diana. A |
Subject: RE: BS: Friendly, But Not Familiar? From: kendall Date: 22 Mar 00 - 04:28 PM Wonderful!! this was even better than subjecting the boys to a game of trivial pursuit. They didnt stand a chance, but, one of them had the guts to try, so, he became my son-in-law.As a result, all of my grand children are above average. |
Subject: RE: BS: Friendly, But Not Familiar? From: Bert Date: 22 Mar 00 - 12:04 PM Being a rebel has nothing to do with leather jackets and Harleys. Max is a rebel and a renegade, he didn't get a regular job, he started his own company AND MUDCAT. Now, that's a real rebel. Cheers! Bert. |
Subject: RE: BS: Friendly, But Not Familiar? From: Mbo Date: 22 Mar 00 - 11:59 AM It isn't a good thing, bert. I just want to be MYSELF...I'm not gonna hop a Harley and don a leather jacket just to look cool. I can't change who I am...and causing distrust in other is the stupidest idea ever. Be Loved, And Do Good Works, as Garrison Keilor says. And I'll have you know that I'm very good with children! 45 minutes of crying! Hah! I can take anything! --Mbo |
Subject: RE: BS: Friendly, But Not Familiar? From: Bert Date: 22 Mar 00 - 11:46 AM Mbo, You said "Being a rebel and a renegade is NOT a good thing." SHAME on you!!!

Subject: RE: BS: Friendly, But Not Familiar? From: Little Neophyte Date: 21 Mar 00 - 09:33 PM Michael, in all seriousness I am very happy my dad was so strict about the boys that came around. In my dad's eyes no one was good enough for me except the son of the Sony Corportion. I had to deal with never being accepted for who I was. But all in all, my dad instilled a set or values in me. Mind you they were branded in me, but I feel grateful for his overly concerned obsessive behaviour. Like Catspaw, it was hipocrisy at its best. It could have been worse, if chastity belts were still in fashion, I bet my dad would have used it. Nice to see you start such a light thread. That is where you will find me hanging out. Little Neo |

I can guarantee you I would have a serious problem if my earlier self showed up to take my daughter on a date. But she has already demonstrated good judgement in poeple and brings home mannerly youths who smile and call me Mister. WHich helps a lot. As I once said humoprouly to Mbo, if that seems hypocritical, well, it is, and that's as it should be... :?)

Subject: RE: BS: Friendly, But Not Familiar? From: Sorcha Date: 21 Mar 00 - 07:25 PM OK, Michael! Just wanted to make sure there was a Big Grin behind all the seriousness..........like maybe you thought Amos or I would really buy our daughters a plane ticket to "WhereEver" to meet a cyber friend.........not!! He comes here, (and fills out the AP before he meets her!) My mom always said, "When they are little, they break your pocket-book, when they are big, they break your heart". Hopefully, we can all grow up and (re?)gain our parents respect. I did, but we had some rough times when I was 18-21. They are both gone now, but I miss them, and respect their wisdom more each day that I deal with my children! |
Subject: RE: BS: Friendly, But Not Familiar? From: MK Date: 21 Mar 00 - 07:25 PM Mbo.....I have decided that if you can't beat 'em...join 'em....but as most here know, I do generally focus on music-related threads, but, I am in the process of shedding a whole whirl-wind of negative energy around me, and I figured a little attempt at humor albeit a bit depreciating and dark, might help further the process.
The initial thread was tongue in cheek and was somewhat inspired by the very public communicating between you and Barky...I was merely attempting to put a humorous twist to it - thought Amos might crack a smile over it --, and because you have proven (as has Amos) that you have great senses of humor, I figured you could handle it. |
Subject: RE: BS: Friendly, But Not Familiar? From: Rick Fielding Date: 21 Mar 00 - 07:21 PM Well all right Michael K! Sure you've asked questions...but you haven't asked the TOUGH questions: Do you bare fingers, or picks? Did Riley Puckett REALLY just use his index finger. Every prospective suitor needs to answer these. Rick By the way, I appreciate you throwing out some humourous threads. |
