Under the Tejas Sun
MySpace ~ a land unto itself. But I'm finding myself there. I'm flourishing. Gack! What does that say about me?? That I didn't get enough glitters as a child? Nonetheless...a recent MS blog which is typical of the kind of fun I'm having over there.
Do y'all know the movie, Under the Tuscan Sun, with Diane Lane? She goes through a wrenching divorce and moves to Tuscanny where she impulsively buys a little Italian Villa. She's unbearably sad for the longest and then meets this awesome man, Italian of course, and he, ahh....wants to swim in her beautiful eyes. Seriously, he said that. She laughed out loud at the ludicrous corniness of such a statement, from an Italian named Marcello no less, and hurt his feelings.
Then she realizes he's serious and is making an incredibly sweet move on her, and she rushes to apologize for her nervousness. It's new to her, after so many years of marriage, to have a man pay her that kind of romantic compliment.
Anyhoo.....she says something just as romantically corny back, which makes them smile and nature takes its course. Yeah, the tides move and all that.
She gets back to her villa after a couple days with Italian Countryside Calendar Boy, all dreamy and floaty......and flings herself onto her bed. She smiles vacantly and says, "I knew it."
Then she's jumping up and down on the bed in her slip and doin' a sexy little dance, all the while sing-songing, "I knew it, I knew it, I knew it! Whooo!!"
"I still got it!"
"I still got it!"
With a last flourish she smacks both hands on her butt, "I still got it!", smacks both hands on her bosom, "I still got it!" and falls to her knees in front of her wrought iron head board and kisses the Madonna hanging over her bed, "Mwwahhh, mwwahhh, mwwahh....THANK God!"
Falls flat on her back, triumphant and breathless, and says, "Oh yeah!"
WELLL.......
The tides didn't move or anything but I got a coupla sweet compliments last night since I was online in the wee hours with my light on. Mmm-hmmm.....that little light attracts all kinds of night creatures I guess. Heh, heh.
Amore #1 ~ 22 year old man named Grady. Profile pic is a large, linebacker lookin' kid with a backwards ballcap, who's face is covered by the beer can he's chuggin' from. Charming. His message to me, and I quote:
"you are abolutly gorgeous babe! I think im in love with those sexy eyes and those lips of yours :). you really do look beautiful though, I would love to chat with ya :), not to mention the fat that you are one amazingly hott milf :), u know a guy my age cant resist a hott milf! hope to hear back from you soon. Havea good one babe.
cya
Grady"
Woot! I immediately forward it to (my friend) Rhonda.
Ooohh.....looky what I got!! LOL A 22 yr. old troll with a private profile, who sees somebody's light on and gives it a shot. *snicker*
Her reply:
NO....accept the fact that you are an absolutely HOTT MILF!!!!!
I responded by sending her his profile pic:
sooooo impressed! LOL
She writes back:
haaaaaaaa!!!!!!! take it easy on the poor boy...;)
So, I respond to him:
"Thanks dearheart but no can do. Not my thing at all. I have 2 sons older than you! And 1 your age. Nah....can't go there. Thanks for the flattery though." He read it. End of story.
Okay, so I'm no Diane Lane. No movie love story in the works for me.
Now you have to understand that I get mailbox messages from strangers now and again, just like everybody on MySpace, but I never open them. I always delete them unread. I check out their profile to see where they're from, what their friend's list looks like ~ the interactions in their comments etc. I've only opened maybe 5 or 6 of the messages I've received from strangers, out of the couple of dozen I've received over the past year. Ooohhh, Laelith used to get lots and lots. LOL! (Laelith was my previous blog and alternate personality...she was quite gregarious and over-the-top!)
And, I've only accepted 1 male stranger's friend request in all this time. That would be Joe Egg, of course. Thank goodness his profile and scuba pic he had up at the time impressed me, 'cause I've made a really good friend. *waves at Steve* Hey you!
I don't know what made me open that one last night. I was in a silly mood and I was chatting with Rhonda while waiting for Mike to come home from a co-worker's party......so I opened it, just for the hell of it.
Well shut my mouth and tickle me pink, (or smack my butt and call me MILF), I got ANOTHER one just a few minutes later.
Amore #2 ~ This time a 36 year old guy from Plano....which is in my neck of the woods, a nice looking man in a dress shirt and casual jacket, dark and handsome. Nice profile, lotsa friends, normal interactions. And a much, much better approach:
"hello how you doing, just wanted to say you should be an actress with a face like that, take care ciao bella xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
Apart from the Joey impersonation, ("how YOU doin'?".... LOL), well, I have to say his approach was smoother and much more appreciated. And if you don't know it by now, I'm a sucker for Italian phrases. So I shoot it off to Rhonda. (These poor guys. I sowwy. I'm really not trying to be mean.)
Another one! It's my night!! Ahahahahaha!!!
Her reply:
GIRL!!!! Just look at your pic....you GLOW!!!!
My response:
Cuz I was on VACATION...woo-hooooo!!
So I write him back:
"I think it's because I was on vacation.....all glowy and everything. But, thanks dearheart. Very sweet of you."
He responds:
"you are a beautiful woman
do you have yahoo messenger ??
Thud.
I write him back:
"Nope. I don't IM. And I never, never read messages from strangers on MySpace. I thought you might be a friend of one of my kids....so I opened yours. But cyberwhatever... nah ....not my thing. I'm flattered though, thank you for the sweet compliment."
I'm sure there was a THUD in response. A friend of her kids??? Well, he looks a hell of a lot younger than 36....sorry! Besides, these guys, they could be ANYBODY. Could be somebody who knows me and recognized my picture,
and wants to yank my chain. Holy cow, it could be my boss or a former pastor or teacher....could be serial killers or disgusting perverts....
...well, you know. I'd hate to get all smoky with charm and "cyberwhatever" and then discover later it was my HUSBAND yanking my chain. LOL. Mr. Plano looked legit but still, I told the truth. Not my thing. I'm into the real, ya know whutta mean?
So I shoot it off to Rhonda:
Now he wants to know if I have Yahoo Messenger. Cuz I am a beautiful woman. *grin*
I told him nope.....I don't IM. Thanks for the sweet compliments but cyberwhatever....not my thing. I told the other guy, the kid, that I have 2 sons older than him and 1 his age! Sorry babycakes, no can do. But thanks for the flattery.....
Never been approached like this before. It's kind of fun in a dorky sorta way. LOL.
She writes back:
It is...fun! Especially when it comes from younger guys..keep the pic up.;)
Sweet Dreams & Dream Sweet!!! HAHAHAHA!!!
So I do have to wonder what these guys would think if I plopped a picture up there from say, what I looked like this morning as I was relaying all this to Mike? You know....no makeup, bedhead, oversized pajamas, that 40 extra pounds indignant at having to roll around at that time of the morning. And roll it did, I promise you as I jumped around imitating Diane Lane's "I got it" dance, smacking myself on the butt and grabbing my uummm...bosom..... Mike cracked an ever so slight smile, raised one amused eyebrow, nodded slightly in that "yeah, whatever
babe" way, and went back to what he was doing on the internet. Haa! Me? I kept dancing and singing, "I still got it, I still got it!"
Yeah, I don't think Mr. Plano or Mr. Got Milf? would have been impressed either.
Just keepin' it real and havin' a ball!
I knew it, I knew it! I still got it, I still got it!! Whooo!!!
