What can you say about having a child except for the undeniable fact that they obviously rule the home with an iron fist and we, as parents, are subject to their despotic impulses? Oh, you lay offerings on their altar in the form of Disney movies and Kool-Aid, and they’ll shine benevolently upon you for about five minutes before the whims are back ( Read more... )

:laughs: Good, since I don't have a cheerleading outfit handy. I already. Shan's the one with the day-glo pink, and it looks much better on her than me. The choices are still pale yellow and sagey seafoam green. Late late Tuesday sounds like a perfect time. I'm skipping out of work right after my segment, if they have one for me. Probably literally. I'm looking forward to this super secret place you've got lined up.

You sound like Shawn talking about Cameron. Is parenthood really that imperialistic?

Ambition--suits you.

Well, if you're going to wear either one of those two, then I think I have to scrap my plans on wearing my powder-blue leisure polyester suit. Wouldn't want to clash.

Yes, it's very secret. Almost so secret that I nearly forgot where it was, but never fear. A call to 411 saved our plans.

Torrie, you have no idea. Children wield the power of crying over us all. You will do nearly anything to make. it. stop.

A little ambition never hurts.

Powder blue? I figured it would have been white with those tasseled white nubuck shoes. Oh wait that's what you wear on stage. Yes, the things you find on the internet these days. Yes, still teasing. The shoes aren't tassled. You do a mean samba though.

Somehow I have supreme faith in the plans not being ruined for anything short of a blizzard. You seem rather resourceful.

Now I understand the look on Shawn's face after he's come out a store with Cameron in tow. The 'Please, Tater, if you love me find a way to make it stop' look. It's heartbreaking.

A little amibiton never hurt anyone. A little more ambition might get you places. In the general sense of 'you'. OK, maybe in the specific you too. I still have a few cards up my sleeve.

Miss Wilson, I have a confession. I do have tassled white shoes but am reluctant to wear them since it's not yet spring. And you know what they say about wearing white shoes out of season.

Yes, I can certainly feel your mental waves of concern about the state of my mental health after a back to back viewing of Aladdin three times. Why?! It's always going to end the same way. There are no surpise endings upon every third viewing.

I don't think that ambition is necessarily a bad thing. Are you challenging me to a game of cards? Then you'd best take care, Miss Wilson. I'm the resident champion of Goldfish.

Sex is great, but sex isn't everything in a relationship. Any of us can have anyone we wanted in the world. It is the name they look at, and suddenly just because of who you are people are willing to strip naked at a moment's notice. There is so much more to life than sex. Sex won't be there always when it comes right down to it. It is the companionship and the other parts of your body, including the mind, that makes life enjoyable with the one you are with.

As for parenting, I haven't had the pleasure of it, but I've heard the stories. Barney on constant play 24/7.

Hey you, long time no hear! And you're absolutely spot on. If sex was the key to everything, then it would definitely be a boring world. Wouldn't you rather have the rush of discovering something new? I know that I would.

Children. The best thing that could happen to you in all seriousness. But it is an exercise in effort and selflessness.

Yes it has been awhile. It seems just like when we discussed you coming to see me perform as Maggie, the doctors decided that my foot was too injured to continue on with the show.

Something new and exciting. Where everyday you learn some new fact or thing about the other person that you didn't know. Sex is just bodies looking for instant gratification. Learning about each other is about the mind.

I am sure someday I will have the joy of parenthood. For now, I am content.

The manner in which you post is so...loyal. It really is lovely to read your posts.

Sex? That’s easy and too accessible. If I wanted to, all I’d have to do is close my eyes and point a finger. It’s not overconfidence when it’s true. Frankly put, it’s boring. I’ve past that point long ago and I’m not looking to wax nostalgic about it. Not a very good way to impress me. I know it sounds snobbish, but I'd rather engage in a different sort of dance before getting down to something like that.

But a clever mind? Now that is infinitely more interesting and much harder to find. But what the hell? I’m an ambitious sort of guy.

Now quit mucking in my thoughts. I was thinking the same thing only moments ago. Except the ambitious guy part.

Halle, I'm glad that you think so. You shouldn't be such a stranger. We'll have to get together sometime.

And...hey! I'm a very ambitious guy.

halleberry March 6 2004, 15:38:13 UTC
Well it's settled, I think I'm coming to NY, sometime soon. So I will call you whenever that is.

I'm not saying you aren't an ambitious guy. I'm just saying that I am not an ambitious guy. *Laughs*

Yes, you have to. I'll arrange for the best seats in the house. You know my number. I've never changed it.

Yes, all right. You've got me. You're obviously not a guy, but you may be a little ambitious.

You jaded bastard. What happens when you’ve had every adept individual in the world? Will you move on to the retirement community, adolescents, or just pitch at tent at every Ivy League school with in a 500-mile radius and go back and forth trying to find that flawless mind.

At the very least you have a goal.

hugh_jackman March 6 2004, 14:59:43 UTC
Oh, I'm not looking for a flawless mind, Famke. I'm just looking for one that's above "catatonically boring and predictable" level. You'd think it'd not be hard to find, but apparently it's not. I mean, I'm having a conversation with you, aren't I?

f_janssen March 6 2004, 15:16:00 UTC
Come on, Jackman, if you’re going to call me dimwitted you might as well not sugarcoat it. I’m quite surprised you would even dare put me on such a pedestal. Let us not forget the time I calculated the IQ levels of your more delicate readers. Extended off the charts, really. I know you feel emasculated by their brainpower, but you can’t keep blaming me for your debilitated manhood.

hugh_jackman March 6 2004, 15:26:49 UTC
Hmmm...let's be logical about this sort of thing, shall we, Famke? According to the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level, my grade is 9 while yours is 8.

I challenge you to an IQ test, Famke Janssen. How about it? I'm up for it. Debilitated manhood pride is on the line.

i'll be back home in New York from tomorrow untill the 25th. And i can't stand the thought of spending so much time alone again. Reading your entries, you really seem like someone i would like to know better. So if you feel like getting together sometime, i would love that.
