the shirt drawer...

[angelberry]

My relationships with others are like my shirt drawer. I never get past the first layer of shirts and hoodies or sweaters. It was a strange revelation while I put back my laundry in their place, noticing how untouched the next few layers were. Rarely do I venture farther than the first layer, perhaps fearful of the atrocities that may meet my

This is great Angeli! This is exactly how I feel with my relationships too, and more often than not I opt for the magical stories and music as well.

here is a superficiality and awkwardness in the way that I can't get past that first layer. Constant "Hi how are you?"s and shallow questions and empty laughter. What's the use? Exactly!

*grins* thanks. It was odd that I thought of that and had to share~ Glad that I'm not the only one that feels this way! :)

Total opposite, dude.

Sucks. My relationships with others is like an open bag of cheese. Whoever they are, as long as I've seen them before, I'll say what's on my mind and let them decide whether they want to let me stick my hands into that bag of gouda-ness

haha well i suppose with potential friends i'm that way. I try to scare them with my extremity first to see if they can handle it and then if they are able to, then it's home free from there. however, it's a little different in the case of erm ahem relationships of another sort if you get what i'm saying. so yes. i suppose your philosophy of relationships as an open bag of cheese can be true as well.

if med screws it on too tight then loosen'em up for them~ :)

and thanks

god, it's like a mating dance, what you're doing...*gags* stick with your dog. At least *that* love of your life will accept all your layers.

[empyreanhorizon]

yes, med's gonna give me high blood *joke* and yeah, i did get the idea that you were talking bout that type of a relationship.
But seriously now, I do hope that there are times when you can already spot idiot men a mile away, regardless of how polite they may be and how hawt they may look.
You know there are some people who, when you see just their friendly side, know whether they'll be able to shed 'their' outer layers for their someone. You just have to find them...^_^... Take care

hmmm, that's an interesting way to look at it, hopefully though soon you'll find someone that is jsut what you're looking for and it won't be superfuicial questions and the like.

lol well it's a way to look at my relationships with guys. with general friends though i find it's perfectly fine and as my sister said, "like a bag of open cheese" so. yes. i hope that someday there will be someone who isn't a total idiot who's also willing to open up
